Wei is still alive? Is she looking for me?

"You followed me all the way here?"

"That's right. We saw you take care of Vi. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here talking to us right now."

Caitlyn stopped in her tracks upon hearing Malson's words, frowning as she looked at him. "You dare lay hands on an Enforcer?"

Malson chuckled. "Normally, we wouldn't dare. Who would dare lay hands on you? But this is different. The Gutter is in chaos. If an Enforcer were to go missing in the Gutter by accident, who knows who would be responsible?"

Malson emphasized the word "accident," sending shivers down Caitlyn's spine.

She rubbed her arms uncomfortably, then mumbled a couple of things under her breath before following them.

Next, she saw these people bring Vi to a location. Then, a girl about five feet tall approached them. Malson said something to her, and she anxiously took something out of her pocket.

Seeing this, Caitlyn immediately stepped forward to stop them. "Wait, is that Glow?"

"You're going to use Glow on her?" Caitlyn couldn't understand.

Isn't this the very thing that's turned the people of Zaun into neither humans nor ghosts?

"What else?"

"This is a drug!"

"That's because they misused Glow. Glow isn't just a toy for addiction. If used properly, it can be a life-saving medicine. Get out of the way. Don't make me say it a second time." Malson frowned at Caitlyn.

If it weren't for the fact that she had taken care of Vi earlier, he would have dared to lay hands on her.

Just as he had told Caitlyn, when the Gutter is in chaos, is it strange for one or two Enforcers to go missing?

A while ago, Piltover had an explosion that killed six Enforcers. The higher-ups didn't know what happened, but didn't they, who were in the Bottom City, know the situation?

It was probably that crazy woman Jinx again. But what was the result of that incident? The result was that Silco managed to pass it off as an accident, and it was vaguely swept under the rug.

And at a time like this, for a cop to come to the Black Alley alone, who knew what this cop was thinking.

Should she be called brainless?

Malson raised his hand, and Weila and Manzu stepped forward to block Caitlyn.

Then, Malson dripped some Glow into Vi's mouth, just a little, not daring to give her too much.

As Vi inhaled the Glow and the effects took hold, she began to cry out in pain. Her pupils dilated, then began to shrink.

"Vi?"

"Vi!"

Malson spoke. As the purple light in Vi's pupils faded, her gaze shifted to Malson's face, and then she saw Caitlyn, who was being held back.

In an instant, Vi directly extended her hands, grabbed Malson's arms, and pulled, restraining Malson with her arm locked around his throat.

"Wait!" Malson patted Vi's arm forcefully with his hand.

He felt difficulty breathing and surprise.

He wasn't Vi's match when he was younger, but he never expected that after so many years, Malson thought the difference between men and women would allow him to defeat Vi now. But he didn't expect to be subdued by Vi in just one move.

Malson didn't think he was that strong, but he had been in Ci Mu Gang for many years and had fought in quite a few brawls. Yet now, he was being held by Vi like a chick.

If it weren't for the cop who came with Vi being held back by Weila and Manzu, making Vi hesitant, would her arm have snapped his neck with just a little more force?

Malson felt shocked.

What kind of freakishly strong woman was this?

Neither of these sisters was normal!

"Make them let her go," Vi's voice rang out.

"Vi, it's me, Malson."

"It's me, Malson from Black Alley!"

"You damn..."

Malson said painfully.

Vi paused, the strength in her hands lessening slightly. She then carefully looked around and saw Weila and Manzu.

"Weila?"

"It's me, Big Sister." Weila nodded at Vi.

"You, why is it you?" Vi released his arm.

Malson immediately coughed towards the ground. After recovering a bit, he turned and sat on the ground, looking at the standing Vi, and said speechlessly, "We should be asking you that. Why is it you? Vi, aren't you dead?"

"Why did you suddenly appear here and cause such a commotion?"

"That's a long story," Vi said, rubbing her head. Caitlyn walked to her side and stood behind her without a word.

"But compared to that, Malson, I have something to ask you." Vi looked at Malson and then anxiously asked, "Where is my sister? Jinx? Where is she?"

"Jinx? Uh, yeah. She's with our Boss right now," Malson thought for a moment and said.

"Your Boss?" Vi was stunned at first, then recalled the information she had gathered these past few days and what Sevika had told her.

Her expression instantly turned furious, her pupils reddening. She lunged forward, sitting on Malson and grabbing his collar, roaring angrily like a mother leopard who had lost control, raising her right fist and yelling, "Are you working for Silco?"

"Damn it, who told you my boss was Silco?"

"Are you still like this? Can you let me finish speaking?" Malson complained.

Ten minutes later, Malson told Vi everything he knew, only to be met with disbelief.

She rubbed her head with both hands, her mind a mess: "Li Ke? Wasn't he your henchman before? How did you switch places?"

Malson was about to explain.

Vi interrupted him, not caring: "Forget it, none of that is important. Malson, I need your help now. Take me to Li Ke. I have to find my sister."

Caitlyn, standing nearby, heard this and hesitated to speak.

She wanted to ask Vi what her purpose was for coming down here and doing nothing.

Caitlyn had come down here and had neither met Silco, the suspected mastermind, nor found the wanted criminal who had blown up the building in Piltover.

"Now?"

"Vi, do you think we're the only ones who saw you?" Malson shook his head. He continued, "Silco's people are looking for you everywhere. You can't go anywhere right now."

Vi quickly shook her head: "No, I have to go find Jinx."

"If you go out now, you'll not only be causing trouble for yourself, but also for us, understand? Stay here, and I'll help you pass a message to Jin. Jinx." Malson placed his hand on Vi's shoulder.

"I'll go up and tell the Boss and Jinx you're here right now, don't worry."

"You don't understand, I can't wait a single second! I have to see her with my own eyes. I've waited years for this day. I have to go find my sister."

"You've already waited so long, what's another half a day or a day? At this time, if Silco's people find you, it'll all be over! Vi, wake up, we wouldn't lie to you." Weila, unable to hold back any longer, stepped forward and stood beside Vi.

He looked at Vi and continued, "I understand how you feel, but think carefully about what I'm saying."

Vi calmed down, and Malson breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted Vi's shoulders forcefully and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, she's very safe now. The Boss is taking good care of her. And you, don't we know how important she is to you? You used to fight us a lot because of her when you were little."

"Sorry, Malson, I lost my composure." Vi nodded with a wry smile.

"Okay, I'll go deliver the message for you now." Malson got up.

Vi watched Malson. She saw him say a few words to the people on either side, and then he left the stronghold alone.

Seeing this, Vi became dejected.

During her years in prison, she had truly believed that Jinx was dead.

Mid-level Plaza.

In the living room on the first floor of Li Ke's house, Isha sat on the ground wearing a hat, holding a blueprint and looking at it intently. The blueprint depicted something resembling a can, which appeared crudely constructed but was actually designed with great ingenuity.

To create the most whimsical things with the simplest materials – this was Jinx's philosophy.

Right now, Isha looked at the blueprint, then at the can beside her. She tried very hard to dismantle the can but couldn't open it. However, with this blueprint, Isha felt that learning to open the can was only a matter of time.

As she fiddled with the iron can using a screwdriver, Isha's small ears twitched. She heard movement from upstairs.

Her hearing was naturally extremely acute, which was why she had repeatedly managed to escape the adults' pursuit.

"What? Vi is looking for me?"

"Where is she? Where is my sister?"

"What do you mean calm down, how can I calm down? Vi is looking for me, my sister is looking for me right now! I thought she was dead!"

"No, I have to go find her now!"

Jinx's sharp voice made Isha look up involuntarily.

"Don't rush, Jinx."

It was Li Ke's voice. Isha put down the can and listened more intently.

"I'll go down with you."

"We need to avoid Silco's sight."

"Right, Silco lied to me. Why did he lie to me? Li Ke, he clearly told me Vi was already dead!"

"Malson, are you sure you saw Vi? Are you sure?"

"Jinx, it's Vi, I'm sure it's her. But there was someone with her."

"Shut up, Malson."

"Yes, Boss."

Isha didn't quite understand this conversation, so the little one tilted her head and looked at the ceiling.

But soon, she heard footsteps.

Then, it was Jinx, Li Ke, and that man Isha didn't care about. They came downstairs together.

"Little one, come here quickly, we have to leave." Jinx saw Isha and beckoned to her.

She wasn't smiling, and the expression on her small face was extremely complex.

But Isha didn't say a word. Hearing Jinx call her, she quickly picked up the blueprints from the ground, then grabbed the can and rushed towards Jinx.

Li Ke followed behind, his expression also very complicated.

The plot had deviated.

And it had deviated greatly.

Perhaps from the moment he met Jinx, the plot of the War of Two Cities had already changed, and now, Malson and a group of Lian Hua Gang members had encountered Vi and Caitlyn.

This matter was beyond Li Ke's expectations, but it was a good thing.

Because rather than letting Vi and Jinx meet under various uncertain factors, it was better for him to control their encounter.

Li Ke remembered very clearly that in the story, after Vi was released from Stillwater Prison, there was only one thing she was wholeheartedly focused on: finding Jinx. But various accidents later caused a growing rift between her and Jinx.

And these rifts were the fuse that officially ignited the war between the two cities.

Li Ke had interrupted Malson just now because Jinx's mental state clearly became unstable after hearing Vi's name.

If not for the trust she had developed in Li Ke these past few days, and the presence of little Isha, Jinx might have already gone mad and run to the Undercity to find Vi, instead of listening to Li Ke. Although anxious, she had still held back.

But what if Malson had said the rest of his words?

He said Vi was accompanied by someone else. Did Li Ke not know who was accompanying Vi?

It was Caitlyn.

If Jinx knew her sister was bringing a Piltover cop to find her, Jinx would most likely start overthinking. After all, she had just blown up a building, killed six Enforcers, and stolen a Hextech crystal and a notebook. If Vi suddenly appeared with a female police officer to find her at this time, it would be strange if Jinx didn't misunderstand!

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke looked at Malson.

"Let's go, Malson. Lead the way."

"Take us to see Vi."
