"Good morning~ Mmm, make some room for me, I need to brush my teeth too."

"Mmm!"

Two women, one large and one small, appeared before Li Ke, their eyes still heavy with sleep. He was brushing his teeth when he saw Jinx appear before him, her eyes half-closed.

Her beautiful blue hair was scattered loosely behind her, with a few strands falling messily over her eyebrows. She tilted her small face up, yawning lazily at Li Ke, rubbing one eye with one hand while the other small hand slipped into her pajamas, revealing her snow-white belly as she scratched it.

Beside her, Isha let out a little "Mmm!" to indicate her presence.

Little Isha's hair was a mess, looking like a large bird's nest.

With naturally curly hair, even if she bathed and washed her hair every day, it would always become this messy after a night's sleep. Wearing her bird's nest hairdo, she looked at Li Ke, holding a small cup in one hand and a toothbrush in the other.

Li Ke moved aside, and Jinx immediately squeezed in. Standing next to Li Ke, she picked up his cup, took a sip of water, swished it around, and then started brushing her teeth in front of the mirror.

Little Isha stood outside, a little displeased. She squeezed her way between Li Ke and Jinx, hugged Li Ke's leg, and stood on tiptoe, poking her small head over the sink to watch herself brushing her teeth in the mirror, imitating Jinx.

"Are we taking action today?" Jinx mumbled indistinctly while brushing her teeth.

"Mmm, the agreed time is 4 PM this afternoon. I've already asked Vi to get people ready. Malson also took a group of people over yesterday," Li Ke replied.

"Li Ke, will anyone on our side get hurt? I mean, are you really not planning to go yourself?" Jinx suddenly asked, her big eyes looking at Li Ke in the mirror.

Hearing this, Li Ke turned his head slightly, looking at Jinx with surprise.

What was going on?

Jinx was actually showing concern for others?

No, if it were the Jinx of the past, she would never have asked such a question. She simply didn't care about "others." Besides Vi, Isha, and himself, there was no one in the Lian Hua Gang that Jinx would care about.

Not even partners like Malson and Manzu, who had grown up with Jinx and known her since childhood.

But now, Jinx was different. She seemed to have learned to care about others.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to Silco. I don't want to see any casualties on our side."

Li Ke smiled. He thought for a moment and then added, "Besides, with the weapons and armor you made, and Silco's help, as long as Vi and the others are careful, no one will get hurt."

Actually, there was one more thing Li Ke didn't mention: Zeri was among this group.

If Zeri weren't there, Li Ke might have gone to check himself to ensure no one on his side was injured. But with Zeri present, Li Ke really didn't need to personally intervene.

Because in a sense, Zeri's speed was the fastest in Zaun!

Faster than Li Ke!

Of course, if abilities were categorized by numerical levels, Zeri would probably be something like: Defense 1, Speed 5, Damage 2?

Li Ke's words were 545, and in terms of total value, Zeri and Li Ke were incomparable.

The reason Li Ke didn't mention Zeri was naturally because he was afraid Jinx would be jealous.

Jinx was very prone to jealousy, and recently she had learned some new tricks from somewhere. Now, when she got jealous, she no longer sulked with a low-pressure atmosphere. Instead, she would smile at Li Ke in a passive-aggressive way.

It was just that her smile was even more terrifying than when she was sulking.

It was a kind of morbid, crazy beauty, sarcastic and passive-aggressive. Heaven knows what terrifying things Jinx was thinking in her head when she smiled.

In short, with Raven stepping down, and Silco agreeing to join, this matter was a matter of timing, location, and unity. There would be no accidents.

Therefore, Li Ke did not intend to make an appearance. Although as long as he appeared, he could easily take down the Alchemical Baron's operation by himself and win with ease, as Li Ke had said to Silco – he wanted to train his troops.

To change Zaun, Li Ke's personal strength might be enough, but for Zaun to be strong, Li Ke alone was not enough.

Therefore, Vi, Malson, Manzu, and even Ekko and Zeri all needed to grow.

Picking up the cup that Jinx had just spat in, Li Ke took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and then bent over the sink, spitting out the foamy water.

"We'll have the answer tonight."

He reached out and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.

"Big Sister, aren't we going to hide ourselves?"

On the wastewater streets of Zaun, looking at the nearly empty street, Zeri excitedly followed behind Vi. The clothes she wore were painted with the exclusive patterns of the Lian Hua Gang – blue and pink interspersed floral petals, which looked very beautiful.

Vi walked ahead, a dry blade of grass in her mouth, and fingerless gloves on her hands. Hearing Zeri, she replied, "No need. Malson's men are already ambushed inside. We'll attack from both inside and outside, catching them off guard. Those guys are dead!"

"Am I... are we going to kill them?" Zeri looked up at Vi's back and hesitated.

"What else?" Vi stopped when she heard this, turned around, and looked back at Zeri. She rolled her eyes and continued, "This is a fight to the death, Zeri. I don't know why Li Ke insisted on having you follow me, but if you're not ready to kill, you can leave now. Don't worry, I won't tell Li Ke."

Zeri swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shrunk her head timidly, and nodded at Vi like a quail.

She really wasn't ready to kill.

Before this, Zeri had dealt with the Alchemical Baron in private, but each time she only taught them a lesson or caused some minor damage, such as destroying the equipment in the Alchemical Baron's factory or using her abilities to disrupt their electricity.

Killing. Zeri had never done such a thing, she had never even thought of it!

But Vi looked at Zeri, and seeing her shrink her head, she didn't know what she was thinking, but her eyes softened, and her tone became much gentler. "Of course, if possible, we don't want to kill anyone."

"But Zeri, this time is different from before. This time we're going after the Alchemical Baron. Their subordinates aren't just thugs forced to join the gang for money and survival, but a group of desperate criminals who have already taken lives. We were just playing small games before. As long as they surrendered, the war would be over. But they are different."

"One of us has to leave, disappear from Zaun, between them!"

Vi reached out and patted Zeri's shoulder.

Zeri nodded, and then Zeri saw Vi's expression turn fierce again, a savage aura appearing on her.

Vi whispered, "For Vander, they have to pay the price they deserve."

When Vander was still around, these rats wouldn't dare show themselves. After Vander died, the rats carved up Vander's territory, making everything he had created in Zaun disappear without a trace.

Vi took a deep breath and looked at Manzu.

"Take ten people and enter from the west. Zeri and I will lead our people in through the main entrance."

Manzu held a pistol and nodded. He looked a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down. He selected ten people and led them away.

Vi pulled down a hood. The hat was pink, with serrated patterns on the edge, looking like a pink shark with its giant mouth open.

And as Vi lowered her head, the pink hair revealed from underneath became the shark's tongue.

She reached for her waist and took off a white mask, putting it on her face. The mask had special holes on either side.

Zeri was doing the same thing. She also put a mask on her face.

With a signal to act, Vi charged out first.

The group quickly followed Vi, their target aimed directly at a casino.
