Capture Attempt Failed

I suddenly realized I'd gotten ripped off. Even a tiny shard was worth tens of thousands of gold coins! The one I sold to Harvey could have sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins! The market for Primal Crystal is terrifying!

Jorba continued, "In fact, the true value of the Primal Crystal is far more than that, and even at such a high price, it's still in high demand and short supply. It's all been bought up by acquaintances; we've attended several auctions without success."

"Maybe I can still find it, don't despair."

"You absolutely have to sell it to me!"

"Let's be friends, this is for you."

"Okay, I've decided to be your friend! If you ever have any trouble, just come to me. I can't speak for others, but I do have some say in Piltover matters!"

"You're the sheriff; you can't be unjust."

Of course not!

I made a joke, but he took it very seriously.

And so, a piece of crystal made a powerful friend, and I truly realized the value of Primal Crystal.

As for these things on your person, you must keep them safe. They are extremely useful, and who knows where you might need them in the future.

I was just about to leave the police station when a policeman rushed in without even knocking:

"Sheriff, this is bad! The criminals lured us into a trap in Zaun. I'm the only one who escaped. We need backup!"

Where is Caitlyn?

She's trapped too!

"How careless of me! I'll go myself!"

"Wait, Sheriff, let us lend a hand too!" I suggested.

"Alright, although I don't know your strength, you must be quite capable as Darius's confidants!"

Jorba and his men took us on their motorcycles, and we arrived in Zaun in no time. The ride was incredibly exhilarating!

As the motorcycle passes over a cliff, jet-powered wings automatically rise from both sides, allowing it to glide down like a falcon. After landing, the wings disappear automatically, creating a thrilling and exciting experience.

When we arrived at the trap where Caitlyn and the others were trapped, we were truly taken aback.

A section of the ground had collapsed into a single, clean hole, with several pillars crisscrossing above, blocking the entrance. Green flames burned on the surrounding ground and pillars, filling the air with the smell of burning chemicals.

Can you hear me, Caitlyn?

"I can hear you. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Sheriff."

"Good to know. What's the situation down there now?"

"The flames are almost burning down, and water is gushing from the ground. We're already up to our waists. Once the water and fire collide, we'll die in the line of duty."

"Since you have water, why don't you use it to put out the fire?"

"The flames burn even brighter after being doused with water; nearby residents have already tried it."

Jorba was at a loss for what to do. If he had enough time, he could think of many ways to put out the fire, but he didn't have time to do so now.

Just then, a bomb flew from a high spire, heading straight for us. Jorba pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the bomb, which exploded in the air and scattered like fireworks.

However, the streaks of fire that followed the detonation of the bomb were not ordinary flames; they were the green flames burning on the ground!

The affected Zaun people screamed and scattered, but many of the bolder ones remained to watch the spectacle, some even laughing.

Then another bomb came flying, and Jorba had no choice but to blow it up again. By this time, there were far fewer people around; they didn't want to risk their lives to watch the spectacle!

After detonating the second bomb, Jorba rode his motorcycle toward the spire, but quickly turned back.

"Damn it, he ran really fast."

"Who is this person, daring to be so insolent?"

"Her name is Jinx, and she's crazy."

Actually, I already suspected it was her, but I asked Jorba to confirm, and sure enough, I got a positive answer.

At that moment, cries for help came from below again; the flames were almost reaching the bottom!

"There's no other way, we can only try our best!"

After Jorba finished speaking, he instructed the subordinate who had escaped. The two of them tried to pull the pillar apart from both sides, but they didn't know if the motorcycle had enough power.

These pillars were charred black, making it impossible to tell what material they were made of, but the tops were tangled with all sorts of wires, so the chances of them being pulled apart were slim.

If it were accidentally destroyed, the people below would be in trouble. Jorba had considered this as well, and fired a shot before the operation, finding that it was made of metal, which reassured him considerably.

They connected the motorcycle to the central pillar with chains, then started them simultaneously. The tangled threads were torn apart, gradually creating a gap!

"Seize the opportunity, Caitlyn! When the gap widens, rush out!"

"Yes!"

Soon the gap widened, and many flames fell down, like fire falling from the sky. However, Caitlyn and the others were already floating in mid-air on their motorcycles.

When the gap above was big enough for one person to fit, someone rushed out, then a second, a third... When the sixth person returned to the ground, only Caitlyn was left below. That's when the accident happened: the motorcycle's towing chain burned through!

The taut pillar suddenly relaxed and began to sway wildly. Since the metal chain had been burned through, the pillar probably wouldn't last much longer.

I can't stand by and watch any longer. I'm going to try using the gale force. As long as I can shield the flames, there are plenty of gaps I can squeeze through.

Just then, a person flew down from the sky. She fearlessly rode her motorcycle towards the fire pit, and then punched the pillar with her Iron Fist, creating a hole in it!

Caitlyn quickly seized the opportunity to rush out, grabbing Vi in the process. Unfortunately, Vi's motorcycle fell into the fire pit, followed by the collapse of all the pillars, which engulfed the area in flames. Fortunately, everyone was rescued.

Vi's arm was still burning, so Riven quickly pressed the Ice Dragon's Tooth on it, and the frost immediately extinguished the flames.

"Let's go back first," Jorba said coldly.

Back at the police station, everyone was disheveled and humiliated. Jorba gave them a dressing down, leaving only Caitlyn and Vi behind.

Although there were no casualties in this operation, a Hextech Motorcycle was lost, and Vi's boxing gloves are also Hextech Weapons, making them very valuable.

"You've been completely outmaneuvered by a criminal! You've really given the police chief a lot of face!"

"You have no right to criticize Caitlyn. If you hadn't ordered her capture alive, Caitlyn would have shot her dead long ago."

"Don't think you're absolved of responsibility just because you saved someone. I won't ignore the damage to the motorcycle and boxing gloves!"

"Do whatever you want. I don't want to do it anymore anyway. I don't care if I stay in jail for a few more years."

"Stop arguing! Vi's injuries have been controlled by Ice Dragon's Tooth, but she needs immediate medical attention, or she'll lose her arm!"

Riven noticed Vi's severe burns on her arm while helping her, which interrupted their argument.

"I think it's beyond saving; I can't feel any pain in my arm anymore."

Caitlyn quickly called the doctor, and just as Wei had said, her arm had to be amputated immediately due to burns and chemical corrosion!
