Yes, I am his person

"Ekko, you, what, what's going on!"

Seeing Ekko raise his weapon to confront the Lian Hua Gang members, Zeri, not knowing what had happened, immediately became tense.

Was a fight about to break out?

But, but there were so many of them!

If a fight broke out, would it be me and Ekko against this large group of them?

But, Ekko and I just met!

But. I just said I wanted to be friends with Ekko. If a fight really broke out, I, I should help Ekko, right?!

Zeri was extremely conflicted. On one hand, she felt a connection with the friend she had just made today. On the other hand, there was the organization she admired and desperately wanted to join. Zeri truly didn't know how to choose.

As soon as she spoke, Li Ke also looked at her.

When he saw the Sparkling Hair and that Cute face, Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then instantly delighted.

Holy crap.

Is this a buy-one-get-one-free deal?!

Zeri and Ekko delivered themselves to my doorstep?!

If you were to talk about the only two young people in Zaun who could change its future, it would have to be Zeri and Ekko. One, relying on her own magical abilities, dealt with the Alchemical Baron and even led the community and her neighbors to resist the tyranny from above. She was a magical girl. The other was directly designated by the authorities as the Son of Zaun, a guy who was righteous to the core, with terrifyingly high Charm and charisma. Li Ke didn't like Nigga, but he had to admit, he quite liked Ekko.

And now. Both of them had appeared before him.

To put it in game terms, like an Easter egg – Children of Zaun, unite!

Both of these talents from Zaun had appeared before him!

Li Ke instantly became happy. The slight gloom he felt from spending dozens of Gold Coins on Jinx for research that yielded no results immediately vanished completely.

"Zeri, run quickly, leave me alone!"

Ekko forcefully waved his hand towards Zeri and shouted, "This is all a trap! They're all Silco's people, all the Alchemical Baron's people!"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Ekko said loudly. He didn't intend to drag Zeri into his affairs. From what he could see now, this was a conspiracy!

Silco. Damn it!

"But, but..." Zeri was at a loss, unsure whether to listen to Ekko or believe what she was seeing.

Ekko's behavior didn't seem fake. His current expression was like that of a ferocious wolf, very frightening.

But what Zeri saw in Hope Community wasn't fake either.

So who should she believe now?

Just then, Li Ke looked at Zeri and gave her a gentle smile.

Zeri looked at Li Ke's face. He was tall and thin, looking gentle and handsome, especially his smile, which was exceptionally tender, like Spring Sunlight. Although Zeri hadn't seen the sun much in Zaun, her face suddenly turned red at that moment.

He's so handsome.

This was Zeri's thought at the time.

She had never met a boy with such a beautiful smile before!

Oh no, Grandma said I've reached the age to start falling in love. No way. Could Grandma be right?!

Li Ke didn't know that the ability he got from Ahri was working on Zeri at this moment.

With the increase in Charm and Affinity, people who already knew Li Ke would only find him more pleasing to the eye. However, strangers who met Li Ke would subconsciously develop a good impression of him.

Although it wasn't as direct as Ahri's ability to make someone open up completely, any hostility would definitely be impossible to generate.

Because of this, Zeri felt dizzy and her face turned red.

Jinx: "?"

Jinx, who was waving at Ekko and provoking him, saw this scene. She immediately stopped paying attention to the furious Ekko. Instead, she turned around, stood on tiptoe, reached out, and blocked Li Ke's eyes with her hands. She said in a very displeased voice:

"Li Ke, you're not allowed to flirt with other women!"

"Or I'll dig her eyes out!"

Li Ke: "."

After speaking, Jinx tilted her head and looked at Zeri, her expression blank but her eyes full of danger.

Her beautiful Big Eyes were filled with lifelessness, and she looked at Zeri as if she were looking at a dead person.

Zeri: "!!!"

This look scared Zeri greatly, and she immediately sobered up.

But, wait, why would she dig my eyes out?!

Zeri trembled!

"Stop messing around." Li Ke grabbed Jinx's hand and pulled her forward, hugging Miss Jinx into his arms.

Li Ke was already used to physical contact like this with Jinx.

Because Jinx was someone who only showed affection through "actions" and expressed liking through physical contact, the best way she showed she liked someone was by hugging them and clinging to them.

Because of this, Li Ke also learned how to get along with Jinx.

Jinx refused, pouting and saying, "You have to promise me first."

Petty, jealous, and prone to losing control from time to time, that was Jinx.

But... Li Ke had to admit, it was precisely this kind of Jinx who had a lot of Charm.

Of course, if possible, Li Ke still hoped Jinx could become a bit more normal.

"Okay, okay, I'll only look at you. I promise," Li Ke said, looking down at Jinx.

Jinx was satisfied. She released her arm around Li Ke's Neck and stood beside him, spreading her legs. She propped her right elbow against Li Ke's side, lifting herself slightly, and looked at Ekko with eyes full of provocation.

Before Jinx could further provoke Ekko, Li Ke looked at Ekko and spoke:

"Ekko, I know you have many questions right now, but I promise you, the things you're worried about won't happen."

"This is my territory, and Jinx is my person."

"That's right, his person," Jinx said, nodding her Small Head. Leaning against Li Ke, she raised her left hand towards Ekko. Her fingers moved as if playing a musical instrument; her fair skin and slender fingers were quite beautiful.

She couldn't hide the smug little expression on her face.

"Who are you? Someone from Silco's side?" Ekko looked at the honest-looking Jinx in surprise, barely believing his eyes.

To be honest, Ekko's feelings for Jinx were complicated, filled with unspeakable regret and unwillingness. But at this moment, Ekko felt more hatred towards Jinx.

He was not just Ekko, but also the leader of the Wildfire Gang. He represented more than just himself, and therefore, Ekko would not change his view of Jinx because of personal feelings.

If necessary, he would kill Jinx.

As long as she was still Jinx.

"It's me, Li Ke. Did you forget the jar you sold me? You lied to me then, saying it was a treasure from Shurima. Turns out, after I showed it off everywhere, I was told the jar I'd been bragging about all afternoon was Old Brown's spittoon," Li Ke said.

"..." Ekko froze immediately.

Zeri, standing nearby, looked at Ekko with a strange expression.

Ekko had done something like that?

He didn't seem like the type of person who would do such a thing?

"Ekko, calm down. We have nothing to do with Silco. We even confronted Silco not long ago," Vi said from the side, holding up her hands to soothe Ekko.

Li Ke found this amusing.

Is it really okay?

Big Sister, the money you're using to eat now is all sponsored by Silco.

Ekko looked around at his surroundings. The newly established Lian Hua Gang stronghold was in ruins, lacking everything, imperfect. But there was one thing: hope. Every member of the Lian Hua Gang looked healthy, showing no signs of being poisoned by Glow, and everyone's eyes held hope.

Among them, there were many familiar faces. Although he couldn't call them by name, they were very familiar.

Thus, Ekko withdrew his hand and looked at Li Ke.

"Wildfire Gang, Ekko."

Ekko said, his tone becoming calm.

Li Ke looked at him and extended his hand:

"Lian Hua Gang, Li Ke."

"Come on, Ekko, I have a lot to talk to you about."

Li Ke turned and walked towards a house. Jinx quickly followed him, making a face at Ekko before reaching for the hand Li Ke had behind his back.

It was a hand Li Ke had intentionally left for her to hold.

Yes, besides Isha, it was her exclusive privilege.

"Little Brat, come on."

"If you don't come, you're scared!" Jinx stuck out her tongue, gave him the middle finger, and yelled.

Ekko's mouth twitched, his mind in a daze.

What the hell was going on today!

He met Zeri in the morning and earnestly invited her to join, but she didn't want to join the Wildfire Gang at all. In the afternoon, he met Vi, who had been missing for many years, and a group of friends he grew up with. And then... there was this Jinx, still crazy, but not dangerous?

This wasn't right!

When had he ever encountered Jinx before without it being a life-or-death battle?

Guns and cannons were the sounds of their conversations.

Not like this!

But, taking a deep breath, Ekko followed.

Zeri stood in place, hesitating.

"Zeri, you come too."

Hearing Li Ke's voice, Zeri's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.
