People are in the alliance, but the Taiwan server system

Turning around, he saw the legendary assassin who was not supposed to be at home slowly walking towards him.

It was none other than Marcus du Cecao.her father.

"Father...you are not..." Catalina was surprised for a moment.

General Kecao, on the other hand, had a calm face and did not give any explanation when faced with his daughter's questions.

Not to mention refuting Chen Ce's "slander".

He sat down unhurriedly, and signaled Catalina to step back with his eyes - as the latter's father, but also as a strict mentor.He never said a word to Caterina that could be replaced by a look.

Catalina immediately stopped struggling violently.

Chen Ce also let go of his hand and asked her to step aside.

"You have been deliberately avoiding contact with Miss Catalina these days, right?" Chen Ce asked again.

"Yes." General Kecao did not hide it and admitted it openly. "In order to clear up the relationship with Catalina."

"In order not to implicate you and your family?"

"Yes."

"Where are the other candidates?"

"Katrina is the strongest assassin I have ever taught."

"It seems that you are really planning to sacrifice her - judging from the current situation."

"..." General Kecao did not directly admit this sentence, but remained silent.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Catalina on the side got countless information in an instant - but it was obviously not good information.

At first she was worried that her father would find out about her assassination of Swain, but now it sounds like... it seems that the person she is most worried about is the real mastermind?

"Father...?" She found it difficult to accept it for a moment.

But the other party's cold eyes said everything.

The truth was exactly what she thought.

"You assessed the situation and surrendered to Swain long ago, but you don't actually recognize the legitimacy of his appointment as commander, do you?" Chen Ce also sat down, his calm tone sounding like he was interrogating the other party.

"You ask your Assassin's Guild to send a commission to Miss Caterina - you know that she will never refuse because of her desire to become famous. Then you deliberately avoid contact with her and insist on pretending not to know. In this way, she will fail in the end. Now that Swain knows everything, you can clean yourself up as much as possible, at least to ensure that the family will not be implicated...is that right?"

"You were prepared for the worst from the beginning and were prepared to abandon Miss Catalina... right?"

General Kecao remained silent for a while.

It is also the default.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and asked a question tiredly: "Who are you... and why do you know this..."

"Me?" Chen Ce smiled, "Before answering this question, I want to confirm an obvious detail with you - your manor is also shielded from Swain's prying eyes, right?"

"Yes." General Kecao nodded.

"So, my name is Chen Ce." Chen Ce extended his hand to the other party, "My goal is the same as yours - to get rid of Swain and his accomplices."

"..." General Kecao hesitated, but finally took the extended hand. "The Faceless Man... he is not from the Assassin's Guild, but he is yours?"

"No, it belongs to the pale lady."

"Then are you the pale lady's man?"

"Maybe you said the opposite."

"What?" Kecao was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly.

But Chen Ce's smiling response shocked him extremely:

"Pale lady, you are mine."

Hearing this, General Kecao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After half a minute, he sat upright tremblingly. "So... then... please come over here... I have a secret to tell you..."

Chen Ce nodded and leaned down.

But the moment he lowered his head, a cold light flashed through.

General Kecao pulled out a serrated dagger from somewhere and stabbed the opponent while shouting: "Katerina, do it!!"

In an instant, the father and daughter, the top assassins, attacked at the same time.

If it had been someone else, he might have been in trouble the next second.

But Chen Ce only found it ridiculous.

"The desperate situation of reincarnation..."

After a cold whisper, he and General Kecao disappeared in an instant.

When General Kecao recovered from the extreme dizziness and fear, he was shocked to realize that he had arrived in a wasteland he had never seen before.

There was deathly silence all around, except for bursts of strange mist drifting by.

"This is the underworld." Chen Ce's voice sounded from the side, "It is also called the realm of the dead... which is the world where Mordekaiser lives."

"Morde...Caesar...?" General Kecao looked at the black mist on the other side of the horizon in horror.

It seems... is coming...

Accompanied by the desperate breath of death...

"I've known for a long time that you hate Black Rose more than Swain." Chen Ce smiled again, "I've also guessed that you would never agree to cooperate with me... so I feel sorry for you here. Been staying for a while.”

"What...what do you mean...?!" The breath of the underworld began to eat at Kecao's will, making him unable to remain calm.

But Chen Ce didn't care about these anymore.

When the black mist drifted closer, a huge iron armor came into view.

It is none other than the Lord of the Underworld, Mordekaiser.

"I'll let this man live here for a few days. Don't kill him, and don't let those ghosts hurt his spirit."

"Huh?" Mordekaiser made a dissatisfied voice, "Do you think this is your nursery?"

"In exchange, I will let you go to the material realm again after a while."

"that's it?"

"It's the Immortal Fortress."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this keyword, Mordekaiser showed rare excitement. "The Immortal Fortress...the Immortal Fortress that I built with my own hands?"

"Yes."

"make a deal."

"Well, it's settled then." Chen Ce slowly took off the Azakana mask tied to his waist, and prepared to use the reincarnation desperate situation on this "immortal spiritual realm demon" to leave the underworld - as early as in Io A trick that Nia had already used once.

Before leaving, he emphasized one last sentence:

"Remember not to kill him...otherwise, Syndra will come to your door and bombard you continuously for 49 to [-] days."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things...!"

Amid Mordekaiser's dissatisfied roar, Chen Ce left the realm of the dead.

The moment she returned to the material realm, Catalina's beautiful and pale face immediately came into view.

There was confusion in her eyes, and she still held the dagger in her hand tightly. "You...what did you do...?!"

"I brought the respected General Marcus du Cecao to a safe place - maybe he will stay there for a while." Chen Ce shrugged, without putting the opponent's weapon at all. In eyes.

Katarina in her prime poses no threat to him, let alone the injured Katarina?

"What on earth do you want to do...!" Catalina was very anxious - not only anxious about Chen Ce, but also anxious about what her father had just said.

Her father admitted... about abandoning her...

The commission to assassinate Swain was actually issued by her father... and he was prepared to break off the relationship with her at any time...

"What I want to do is very simple - there are three things." Chen Ce held out three fingers, "First, get the full support of your Du Kecao family; second, get the Hand of Noxus, Drie Steve's support; third, kicking Jericho Swain out of the game."

Hearing this, Catalina was greatly surprised: "You... aren't you Swain's lackey...!"

"His enthusiasm for me is partly genuine, and partly he wants to pass the assassination attempt on him on to me - otherwise you would have died in the palace."

"What is your relationship...!"

"He wanted to cooperate with me to overthrow Black Rose, but he was worried that I would threaten him afterwards, so he wanted to make as many enemies as possible for me... But unfortunately, I also wanted to overthrow him."

"You..." Catalina could no longer understand the man in front of her.

But she still has a question:

"You did those... things to me, and you also did something to my father. Do you think our Du Cacao family will still support you and cooperate with you...!"

Hearing this, Chen Ce smiled again. "Indeed, General Du Couture is definitely not willing to cooperate with me - coincidentally, I don't really want to cooperate with such a cunning and capricious person. What's more, he is even more hostile to me than to Svi. The hostility is still deep.”

"Father is the leader of the family... As long as he is not willing, the family will not cooperate with you...!" Katerina gritted her teeth.

"I know." Chen Ce still smiled and stretched out his hand gracefully to the girl in front of him:

"So... from now on you will be the leader of the Du Kecao family."

"I apologize to you for the wrong things I did before, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

"Mademoiselle Caterina du Cecao."

Chapter 7 Miss Carter wants to get married

After Chen Ce left, Catalina fell into deep contemplation.

For days, she thought about everything she had learned in that brief half-hour.

Her father, the top assassin, general, and hero she once admired most, Marcus du Cecao, actually planned to abandon her...

She couldn't accept such betrayal.

She recalled everything in the past.

About Marcus Du Cecao... He was always so strict and unsmiling. Even when she made a major breakthrough, he would not give her any recognition, but would just wave his hand calmly, like This is all very natural.

She seemed to have never received any love from him... As for father's love, she didn't even know what it was.

She has been training since she was a child. In addition to eating and resting, she is training... Day after day, she becomes more and more numb.He always told her to treat herself as a killing machine. Assassins do not need honor. Assassins only need to serve the empire.

He never seemed to regard her as his own flesh and blood.

He didn't even think of her as...a living person.

From the moment he introduced her to the ways of the assassin, she was just a perfect killing machine.

"It's like a joke..."

There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and only Catalina's sigh echoed in the warm and silent hall.

Her father has been "missing" for several days... ever since that terrible man announced that she would inherit the position of family leader.She didn't know where her father was or if he was safe, and she felt confused about everything.

After learning everything, the beliefs and worldview she had built up over the years showed signs of rupture.

She couldn't even explain how she felt about her father... Compared to a close relative whose blood is thicker than water, her father was more like an "engineer", an engineer who turned her into a killing machine, without any emotion at all.

Is she going to take over as the leader of the family?Is she qualified?Will others accept her?Should she "betray" her father?

She couldn't think of any answers to these questions.

Maybe... if you want to know everything, you should go to that place.

The location recorded on that note.

"His name is Chen Ce..."

Catalina took out a piece of paper from her arms with the address and coordinates on it.

There is a manor there...but it seems that you have to enter the manor through a secret passage.

"What's the answer..."

Chen Ce imprisoned the empire's legendary assassin and heroic general Marcus du Croquet in the "little black room" for several days.
