I Don't Care Who You're Playing With, But You Want to Die by Targeting Me?

"Who's causing trouble!"

At the Blackfire Stone Tavern, a group of people whose attire clearly identified them as members of the Bilgewater gang appeared. As soon as they arrived, the crowded tavern immediately dispersed, making way for them.

Li Ke waved to Jinx, who had stopped and was looking at him, signaling her to come to his side. Then, Li Ke raised his hand and threw the woman's companions away one by one.

Jinx clapped her hands, a satisfied expression on her face, seemingly having enjoyed beating the woman up. But before leaving, she kicked the woman hard in the stomach with her boot.

With that kick, Celia winced in pain and curled up like a shrimp on the floor.

Jinx clenched her Riot Games, puffed out her cheeks, and leaned forward, angrily walking towards Li Ke with movements like an anime character.

"Why did you hit her so hard?" Li Ke muttered, looking at Jinx and then at the woman lying on the floor groaning.

Jinx was displeased upon hearing this and looked at Li Ke: "Are you feeling sorry for him?"

Hearing her words, Li Ke laughed in exasperation. Ignoring the group of people approaching, he reached out and tapped Jinx on the head, saying to her irritably, "What are you saying?"

"It's all her fault anyway, Li Ke. Didn't you see the way she looked at me when she came over? This girl was provoking me. She did it on purpose, and she deserves it!" Jinx said, crossing her arms in a defensive stance.

Yes, it wasn't her fault; it was that woman's problem!

When the woman approached, she was smiling, but that smile was mocking and disdainful. Could Jinx tolerate that?

Jinx has actually changed a lot in the past two years. After confirming her relationship with Li Ke, she is no longer jealous of everything. Before, she would get angry and furious if Li Ke talked to a woman and had a lively conversation.

They felt that Li Ke was their own, and that Li Ke couldn't talk to other people.

But now she doesn't get angry or upset over things like that. It's not that she doesn't get jealous anymore; she still gets jealous and feels uncomfortable, but she can tolerate it.

Jinx, who is possessive and insecure, found the security she needed in Li Ke, and therefore, she could tolerate this unpleasant feeling.

Jinx was certain that Li Ke wouldn't abandon her.

But this woman is different!

Her expression at that moment practically screamed to Jinx that this guy was going to steal Li Ke away, and her eyes were full of disdain for her.

You dare look down on me?

I'll beat you to a pulp!

Hmph, it's only because they're in Bilgewater that Jinx is afraid her actions will cause trouble for Li Ke. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just beating someone up. Vi is the one who beats people up, but Jinx just shoots them, okay?

When Jinx first met Isha was being chased by several Zaunite. Without even asking why, Jinx fired several shots, killing the entire group.

They didn't care about any trouble afterward, nor did they care whether those people had a legitimate reason to chase Isha; they just wanted to kill them first!

Did you know?

A madwoman suddenly develops rules, not because she has developed moral principles, but because she has people she cares about.

All she cared about was that person's opinion and whether it would affect that person; she ignored all other worldly logic.

"Are you two the ones causing trouble? Are you outsiders?" Among the group of islanders who appeared, the leader was a bearded man with a black hat on his head. His left hand was only half-armed, but attached to an iron hook. He walked up to Li Ke and asked.

Looking at him, Li Ke felt an overwhelming sense of antiquity and pirate style.

What Caribbean pirates?

"Yes, Mr. Rell, it's those two," Celia's companion immediately said from the side.

Celia also got up from the floor, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Jinx, her mouth still stained with yellowish-green grime—bile that Jinx had just made her vomit—and she gasped for breath as she said:

"Mr. Rell, please help me get justice! These two outsiders have broken the rules of Bilgewater, and besides, I... I just wanted to befriend them!"

Want to be friends?

Rell gave Celia a meaningful look; this woman was well-known throughout Bilgewater.

Therefore, when Rell saw the black-haired youth's appearance and demeanor, he immediately understood what Celia must have done. However, knowing this didn't mean Rell would seek justice.

It's true that these two outsiders broke the rules of Bilgewater, but Celia is a Bilgewater native, so why wouldn't she help her own people?

"Tell me, where are you from?"

However, Rell asked the question first, without directly putting pressure on the two outsiders.

The fact that these two remained calm even when facing his group surprised Rell and made him somewhat wary.

In Bilgewater, wealth can't compare to power, but if someone is from a powerful family, you still have to show them the respect due to their connections to the businesses of many influential figures on the island.

The people of Beacon Island need wealth because the place is so poor.

Therefore, although Rell was very powerful in the Upper City, he wouldn't be foolish enough to offend a few powerful families from other countries. If this affected the business of the other big shots outside the island, it wouldn't be surprising if he were to be slit in the throat while walking at night or have his body found hanging from a street lamp early in the morning.

He wasn't afraid of the powerful foreign families, of course; what he feared were the big shots on the island. Who knew that these people had business dealings with those families in private?

If he were to foolishly offend several powerful families because of the rules of Bilgewater, his fate would be to make those powerful figures accountable to the entire family.

Anyone who can make a name for themselves in Bilgewater's Upper City is a shrewd and calculating individual.

Standing up for Celia and upholding the rules of Bilgewater is fine, but only if the other party is a helpless victim. In Bilgewater, the so-called rules are nothing more than shit that big shots excrete in a cesspool!

"Mr. Rell, you're asking this?" one of Celia's companions couldn't help but ask.

Rell merely gave her a cold glance, which made her silently swallow what she was about to say.

You can't say it. If you do, his death is imminent once the barbecue festival is over.

Li Ke looked at Rell and saw that this man was someone in charge. He thought for a moment and was about to say that he came from Zaun and would be leaving Bilgewater in a few days, not wanting to cause trouble.

Li Ke isn't afraid of trouble, but he and Jinx were out having fun, so naturally they didn't want to cause any trouble.

But before Li Ke could speak, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd in the tavern.

"Mr. Li Ke?" The speaker was an elderly middle-aged man who squeezed through the crowd, looked at Li Ke, rubbed his eyes, and said in disbelief, "What are you doing here?"

Rell saw the man, paused for a moment, then bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Rogge, do you know him?"

Li Ke looked at the newcomer with amusement and said, "Hey, old Rogge, stop with the formalities. You used to call me 'little brat' all the time. Seriously, are you really the Pirate King?"

"Haha, what kind of pirate king am I? I'm just a merchant ship captain. As for what happened before, wasn't it because I was ignorant? You're very magnanimous and forgave me. I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet." The man immediately changed his address to Li Ke, replacing "you" with "you," which was less respectful but more familiar.

The person who appeared was none other than Rogge, who had escorted Li Ke back to Zaun a few months ago. He looked at Li Ke with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thanks to your help, my smuggled goods were successfully sold. I was saying, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Bilgewater beforehand? I would have been happy to treat you. You're my benefactor."

"And what happened?" Rogge asked, turning to Rell.

His positioning was interesting. As a Bilgewater native and a big shot in the Upper City, he stood in front of the two outsiders and questioned Rell, who was also from the Upper City.

Seeing this, Celia's companions fell silent, standing there with their heads down, not daring to breathe.

Celia went even further, closing her eyes and "fainting" on the floor.

Rell hesitated for a moment before speaking, "He made a move in my tavern, Mr. Rogge. Fighting is not allowed in the Upper City, and besides, today is the Barbecue Festival."

"Snap--"

A slap landed on Rell's face. Old Rogge was thin and not very tall, only about 1.6 meters, two heads shorter than Rell. But at this moment, he slapped Rell hard across the face, glaring angrily at Rell, and shouted:

"You motherfucker, Rell, do you even know who he is?"

Do you know where you get your drinks from?

"Do you know who sold us the weapons on our ship and the medicine in the pharmacy?"

"Do you know how many people on the island depend on him for their livelihood?"

Rell covered his face, staring blankly at Rogge, then at Li Ke, and then a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he looked at Rogge respectfully.

Deep down, Rell was thinking, even if this person was a young master or princess of Noxus noble family, did Rogge really have to treat him like this?

After that slap, how is he ever going to work in Bilgewater again?

However, Rell dared not retaliate.

Because his tavern business—no, all the taverns in the entire Bilgewater Upper City —was run by Rogge.

This old man who used to bicker with Li Ke, constantly referring to himself as the "Lord of Zaun" and the "Pirate King," may seem like just a middleman and businessman, but in reality, he is Bilgewater's largest liquor supplier.

On the Isle of Bilgewater, water is not the source of life, but alcohol is. You can go without water, but you absolutely cannot go without alcohol. That's the Bilgewater spirit.

Therefore, Rogge was highly respected in Bilgewater.

Li Ke blinked, somewhat confused about the situation, but Jinx next to him was quite different.

Jinx's face was flushed, and she was trembling as she gripped Li Ke's arm.

Cool.

She felt so good!

It feels like I'm back in Zaun. No, Zaun doesn't follow that anymore, but Jinx just really likes this feeling!

Li Ke might not be much of a show-off, after all, Li Ke's gentle by nature, but Jinx isn't.

Little Jin, he loves to show off!

"He must have had his reasons for hitting people," Rogge said seriously to Rell.

"But it wasn't him who hit him, it was the girl next to him," Rell paused before speaking.

Rogge turned to look at Li Ke, who put his arm Jinx Li Ke smiled, "Old Rogge, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, and also Silco's daughter."

Jinx grinned at Rogge, looking cute and beautiful. No one would have guessed that this was the same girl who had just picked up a bottle and then grabbed someone's head and kicked him hard!

"!" Rogge's eyes narrowed.

"What?" The one who asked this was Rell. His eyes widened as he looked at Jinx, then at Li Ke, his lips moving slightly before he managed to ask with difficulty, "You... you just said she's whose daughter?"

"Silco of Zaun," Li Ke said.

Li Ke now understands that Rogge was standing up for him.

Furthermore, Li Ke also knew one thing: the people of the Isles might not know who the Lord of Zaun was, but they definitely knew who Silco was.

Even if Li Ke doesn't manage Zaun's business and leaves everything to Silco, he still knows that half of Zaun's business, the business run by Silco, involves transactions with the Isles.

After all, Zaun wasn't like Piltover before; it didn't have as many high-end customers and couldn't sell its goods all over the world. The new trading city-states were formed this year by leveraging Piltover's reputation.

At that time, Bilgewater was Zaun's best partner for decades. In other words, many of Silco's men came from Bilgewater to join him. Although he was in Zaun, he also wielded great power in Bilgewater.

After all, the name Silco is Bilgewater's cash cow.

The bigwigs in Bilgewater all have dealings with Silco and are willing to give Silco face.

The reason they didn't reveal their identities was because Li Ke thought he and Jinx would only be on the island for a while before leaving and not staying long.

Therefore, he never considered exposing his identity for convenience. After all, he and Jinx had snuck out. What if they had just arrived on Pixnet and Silco had brought people after them the very next day?

As for Jinx, she genuinely knew nothing about these things.

Now, she blinked and noticed that the woman lying on the floor suddenly twitched her leg.

Seeing this, Jinx sneered, shrugged, shook off Li Ke's arm that was around her, and walked straight ahead, passing by Rogge and Rell.

Jinx reached Celia, who was lying on the floor, and casually raised her foot towards Celia's arm, which was resting on the floor. She said, "Get up, you bitch. I'll count to three, and if you don't get up, I'll stomp on you."

Jinx said coldly, and then she began to count, but on the very first count, she stomped her foot down hard.

"Three!"

"Ah!!!" Celia screamed instantly as Jinx pinned her arm to the floor. Her other hand pressed hard on Jinx's boot, but she dared not push her away or slap Jinx's leg.

All they could do was scream in agony.

Li Ke watched quietly. Seeing this, Rogge leaned closer to Li Ke and whispered, "Your fiancée is really fierce."

"Right? She was a bit ruthless," Li Ke said, but before he could say "I really liked it, Rogge interrupted:

"It's alright. I know what kind of person this woman is. Several of the minor nobles she targeted before were ruined by her. What she likes most is to play with married men. She plays with a wife's man in front of her, and then sees the wife's pained expression. When she's happy, this woman will even force the wife to push the man's buttocks."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke looked at old Rogge in shock. "Do you Bilgewater people play such elaborate tricks?"

"Ha, our island is even more chaotic than your Zaun, plus it's poor and destitute. There's nothing here, so we have no entertainment other than drinking. Naturally, sex becomes the main theme at night," Old Rogge said with a hearty laugh.

He said these things to tell Li Ke that there were no good people on the island, not even himself.

Over the years, the number of crew members thrown into the sea by Rogge to feed the sharks has been in the hundreds, but this is the way of life on Beechcraft Island.

But Li Ke is different, because of Li Ke background. On Bi Island, no one dares to touch him.

Even Gangplank is no match for him. Although he is the most powerful pirate in Bilgewater, there are many other powerful groups on the island. These people cannot defeat Gangplank, but what if these big shots unite for the sake of interests? Gangplank would really not be able to handle so many people.

Furthermore, Zaun is not far from Bilgewater, and the Zaunites' military strength is not inferior to that of the Bilgewater Zaunite.

Meanwhile, Jinx had one foot on Celia's arm and one hand on her lower back. Looking down at Celia, she said, "Listen up, I'm smart. I know you're a repeat offender, and I don't care whose men you sleep with. Even if you've slept with every man in the world, it's none of my business."

"But how dare you target my people?"

Jinx said calmly, word by word, "Do you want to die?"

"I was wrong, I won't do it again, I apologize. I really didn't know you were Mr. Silco's daughter," Celia said, tilting her head towards Jinx.

She truly regrets it now.

Judging from their clothes and the number of people, Celia initially assumed they were minor nobles, since the two of them had only come to the Blackfire Stone Tavern without even a guard.

She looked around for a while before choosing her prey.

But who knew? This wasn't some minor noble family at all!

This is the daughter of the God of Wealth!

This time, Rell did not step forward to dissuade them; he simply stood silently in front of Li Ke and Rogge.

But deep down, he had already figured out who these two people were.

So this seemingly refined man is actually a gigolo who relies on women?

That makes sense, being Silco's daughter does give her an unfair advantage in Bilgewater.

But just as Rell was thinking this, he heard Rogge next to him ask Li Ke, "How come you, the Lord of Zaun, have time to come to Bilgewater?"

Rell: "???"

Wait, what master?

"Don't go around telling everyone about our honeymoon. I don't want Silco sending people to find me later."

"Rogge, I need your help with something. Let's just pretend this never happened. As for those guys... well, don't make things too difficult for them."

Rogge nodded. "No problem, but that alone isn't enough to repay your kindness. How about you stay at my place for the next while?"

"Okay, I haven't found a place to stay either."

Rell, who was standing to the side, finally reacted and shouted, "Men, throw all the members of Celia Hunter Squad out! And spread the word that for the next three months, no one is allowed to take any business from Celia Beast Hunting Team. Anyone who does will be an enemy of Blackfire Stone!"

Those who understand the times are wise.

Rell

They grabbed the rope that was pulling them up.

Anger?

That's all!

Old Rogge is saving himself!

If Silco found out that his daughter was being bullied on Rell's territory, the worst-case scenario would be that Rell would quit the tavern and go out to hunt sea monsters, and he would still survive.

But what if the person you offend is the ruler of Zaun?

To make enemies of the entire Zaun?

Stop kidding me.

If you send Gangplank, would he dare?

He dares to fight Noxus because Bilgewater doesn't rely on Noxus for its profits, but do you expect him to fight Zaun?

Haha, the big shots in the Upper City will flock to oppose Gangplank!

All the daily necessities, furniture, drinks, and food on the island are sold from Zaun!

With shining eyes, Rell looked at Li Ke, this god of wealth.
