This Piltover sheriff is Darius's good friend. I thought he was much older, but he looks no more than thirty. I wonder if he's always been young or just takes good care of himself. 🐳♔ 👺♬

After Caitlyn saw us in, she was about to close the door and leave when Jorba stopped her, saying, "You don't need to leave. Listen to Caitlyn has to say."

"Yes."

"You were sent by Darius?" Jorba raised his eyelids, his expression unfriendly.

"Yes, Sheriff, my name is Yasuo, and this is my friend Riven. It's nice to meet you!"

"You're happy, but I'm not. Darius is always causing me trouble."

"So you already know what it is?"

"I don't know. The letter only said it asked me to help you. It must be very urgent, right?"

"It is indeed urgent, but with your abilities, isn't it a piece of cake?"

"Come on, you're really good with words. Tell me what's going on?"

People love to hear nice things, and even if they know it's flattery, they're still happy. Since I'm here to ask for a favor, I won't be stingy with these "golden words."

I briefly explained the situation, mainly hoping that Jorba could help us find Warwick. He laughed after listening to me.

"You want to see Warwick? Is that all?"

"That's how it is for now. We'll make decisions on other things after we see him."

"Then I won't be needed. You heard everything, Caitlyn?"

"Yes, I heard you."

"I'll leave this to you. Remember to invite Wei along; she knows the area very well."

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately."

Caitlyn was very obedient and had no airs at all, which surprised me. As the famous Piltover Caitlyn in League of Legends, is she really just a minion?

Just as we were about to leave, Jorba added, "Let's change their clothes first; look how hot they are."

Caitlyn obediently did as she was told and led us to a tailor shop. At a time like this, we weren't in the mood to pick out clothes, so we just bought two ready-made outfits and put them on.

We then went to the police station's interrogation room, where Wei worked. She was interrogating a criminal, her short pink hair proclaiming her strong personality.

Vi's build is similar to Sejuani's; both are tall and muscular, and their tight uniforms can't contain their voluptuous figures at all, with one button on her chest having popped off.

She leaned back in her office chair, legs crossed, a pen dangling from her mouth, while the prisoner in front of her trembled and confessed his crimes.

Seeing Caitlyn's serious expression, she said, "How many times have I told you? Don't act like this at work!"

Wei, on the contrary, said, "Oh, you haven't come to see me in so long, darling."

Believe it or not, I'll smash your mouth in!

"Don't be like that, we're colleagues now, and I even received praise from Sheriff Jorba for my performance!"

"I don't have time to argue with you. Put down your work; the sheriff has other tasks for us."

"Oh? Is it related to these two people?"

"Yes, these are Yasuo and Riven, friends from Noxus."

"Oh, I don't like that place, but since it's the sheriff's order, there's nothing I can do. What do you need us to do?"

"Go to Zaun and find Warwick."

"Okay, let me change my clothes and put on my boxing gloves. I can't let those thugs from Zaun bully my goddess."

Caitlyn had no way to deal with Vi, so she turned and left, saying, "I'll wait for you at the door."

The prisoner felt like he'd been granted a pardon upon hearing this, but Wei had no intention of letting him off the hook. "Organize your thoughts, kid. When I get back, I want to hear a fluent answer, even if it's a lie, make sure it's flawless!"

Wei came out quickly. She wasn't wearing her police uniform; instead, she had changed into loose-fitting clothes, and her pair of terrifying Iron Fist looked very imposing.

I was familiar with her weapon, but Riven was quite intrigued. "What huge gauntlets!"

"What's wrong, little sister? Are you interested in my boxing gloves?"

"I'm wondering if your arm can handle it?"

"Ha! After our mission is over, you can come and test your skills with the sword behind you!"

"Okay... no need, no need. Let's wait for another opportunity. We have an important mission." Riven was eager to try, but then remembered the current situation.

Zaun and Piltover are located at the border between the continents of the Valoran Continent and Shurima Continent. The terrain here is very special, like a double-layered shelf, with Piltover on the top and Zaun on the bottom.

Travel between the two places is restricted; those without permits undergo strict checks. However, with a police officer leading the way, Riven and I had no problem.

"That place is teeming with rats in the gutters, so be careful. Don't accept food from anyone, because you never know what you'll become after eating it! And..."

Vi was chattering incessantly the whole way, and her rough personality was very similar to Sejuani's. If the two met, they would definitely become good friends who got along well.

"Did you used to live in Zaun?" I asked, knowing the answer already.

"You guessed it? Yes, I was living there not long ago, and I only got out thanks to Caitlyn."

Is Warwick easy to find?

"Of course it's easy to find. He's always holed up in his lab; we can just go to his house."

"Should we make any preparations? Like an antidote or something?" Actually, I carried the antidote with me, but I wanted to see if they had any good methods to deal with Warwick.

"An antidote? Dr. Warwick doesn't bite people randomly. Although he sometimes loses control, he's mostly a kind person."

Wei's answer surprised me. Considering how fierce Uncle Wolf was, I couldn't imagine that his brother was such a kind person!

Of course, it was mainly Warwick in the game that left me with a ruthless impression.

We rode the conveyor belt down for quite a while before reaching the bottom. It was hotter here than up, and filled with an unpleasant smell. The people's eyes were strange, sinister, and lewd.

Wei's expression contrasted sharply with the atmosphere; she looked nostalgic as she exclaimed, "Ah, it's been so long since I've been back! The smell here is so nostalgic!"

"Then you don't need to go back later, which will give me some peace and quiet," Caitlyn quickly added.

"That works! As long as you're willing to stay here with me!"

"I'm absolutely fed up with you. I hope Sheriff Jorba won't let you work with me again next time."

Caitlyn always loses, but in these situations, Vivian always wisely shuts up.

Ignoring the stares of passersby, we rushed to Warwick's house, a dilapidated place where even the door couldn't be closed properly.

Vi seemed to know Warwick well, and walked straight in. "Hi Doctor, I've come to see you. Did you miss me?"

"Oh haha, it's Vi! Didn't you go to Piltover? What are you doing back here?"

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that guests from other places need to speak with you."

Since Vie had already made the arrangements, we all went inside. The Warwick we saw was quite different from what we had imagined.
