The group walked through the streets of Zaun, in large groups, and with Vander's exaggerated height and appearance, he was bound to attract attention.
When the residents of Zaun saw Vander, their first reaction was naturally to be startled, but when they saw the shirtless, black-haired young man walking ahead with a smile, their tension immediately dissipated.
That's the Boss of the Lian Hua Gang, the head of the Hope Community. Everyone in this area knows him.
Vander was flanked by Jinx and Vi on either side, while Li Ke walked with Silco, followed by Sevika and Ekko's group.
What is that?
On the way, Vander pointed to a spot and asked a question. Li Ke looked up and saw that Vander was asking about a wastewater pipe with a locking mechanism. Seeing this, Li Ke explained with a smile, "That's a project we built to stop the wastewater from flowing down from Piltover."
Vander was surprised and scratched his head, saying, "Wait, are they just going to let you do this?"
"Vander, do you think Skinny Guys is that kind of person? We had a fight, and they lost. Then they became obedient and returned in a humiliating defeat. Do you understand what a humiliating defeat is? Do you think everyone can make peace with people by talking like you? Piltover people deserve to be beaten. They have to be beaten." Vi patted Vander on the back and said in a nonchalant manner.
"Hmm, it seems you really did a good job, Li Ke," Vander said with admiration. But after saying that, he looked down at Wei with displeasure, baring his teeth in a frightening manner, and said to Wei, "But you, Wei, what happened to you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Wei was taken aback, raising her eyebrows as she looked at Vander.
"Look at yourself now! I don't remember raising you to this state. Wei, dyed hair, tattoos, earrings, what haven't you done? Didn't I tell you not to get tattoos?" Vander raised his voice.
His relationship with Vie was sometimes more like that of a father and son. Vie was rebellious when she was young and would often go against him. Naturally, after their father-daughter bond deepened, Vander took on the role of a father and began to discipline Vie.
The moment he saw Wei, he felt uncomfortable with her appearance.
Why did my daughter turn out like this?
But Jinx, or rather, who's called "Jinx" now, is really pleasing to the eye.
With her smooth hair, fair skin, big eyes, and small mouth, she's even prettier and cuter than Vander had imagined. It's safe to say, Jinx has really grown up; she's blossomed!
When she was little, Vi was the prettiest child, but her hairstyle wasn't very flattering. Now, however, Vander thinks Jinx is the prettiest, though Vi is pretty too.
Both of his daughters are beautiful!
What pleased Vander most was that Jinx had no tattoos or earrings, and wearing a sweater and coat, she looked like a gentle and intellectual young woman.
What was Vander's biggest dream?
It's not about how much Wei and Jinx can achieve, but about them growing up healthy, living good lives, not going astray, not smoking or doing drugs, and not having bad habits. That's what Vander wants most.
And Jinx did it.
Thinking of this, Vander couldn't help but say, "Why don't you learn from your sister?"
"Huh?" Wei Kog'Maw after hearing Vander's words, looking at Vander with an extremely strange expression.
I learned from her?
Learn how to kill?
Or should I learn how to make terrifying weapons?
Or is it that she acts like a lunatic, throwing a tantrum because she doesn't like a dish?
The Lian Hua Gang members around him lowered their heads upon hearing Vander's words, especially Ekko in the crowd, whose lips twitched and who even stopped to stand as punishment.
Learn from Jinx?
In all honesty, although Big Sister Wei may seem aggressive, Big Sister actually very gentle and always the first to step up in dangerous situations. She may not be the kind of person who speaks kindly, but she is truly a wonderful Boss.
But what about Jinx?
To be honest, among the core members of the Lian Hua Gang, apart from Zeri, the rest are all afraid of Jinx.
Who in Zaunite hasn't heard the story of the blue-haired madman?
"What? Look at Jinx, what's so good about tattoos? I have tattoos, they're a symbol of my gang from when I was in the underworld, but what about you? Why do you have tattoos?"
"You!" Vi was furious. She stomped her foot and pounded on Vander's back with a dull thud. "What do you know?!" she shouted.
"Jinx, say something." Vi looked at Jinx.
Jinx, feeling guilty, avoided Vi's gaze, pouting and ignoring her. But when Vander looked over, she looked at Vander with her Big Eyes and gave him a sweet smile.
"Vander ~ Li Ke is cooking tonight, he's a super good cook." Jinx said, hugging Vander's big paws and rubbing against Vander hand.
"???" Wei stared at the scene, her teeth almost grinding to powder.
What does that mean?
Pretending to be innocent, huh?!
No, it's not Vander!
What do you mean I have a tattoo?
You haven't seen the Cloud Pattern on Bao Bao's body, they're so Jinx, half her body is covered in them! And she used to wear smoky eye makeup, smoky eye makeup!
She's not that well-behaved!
"Why are you jealous of your sister?"
"Damn it! Vander, listen to me, this isn't what you think." Vi took a deep breath and looked at Vander, not realizing that the distance between her and Jinx seemed to have faded because of Vander's presence.
She can joke around with Jinx instead of being afraid of her sister, afraid of making her angry, afraid of upsetting her.
Previously, Vi's feelings for Jinx were abnormal; they weren't the kind of feelings normal sisters should have.
But now, Vander's return has allowed Vi and Jinx to rediscover the feeling they once had together, with the pampered younger sister and the always-scolding older sister.
"Vander, Vi not only disobeyed you, but she also got tattoos, pierced her ears, and even hooked up with the cops in Upper City," Jinx interrupted Vi.
"You're dating?" Vander's face fell as he looked at Vi seriously. "I don't mind you dating someone from Piltover, but you have to bring her back so I can see her."
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you as you grew up, but now I'm back. Nawei, it's a big deal for you. I need to see what kind of person that kid is."
"Kid? Hah!" Jinx laughed. "Vander, don't be fooled. Vi's hooking up with a female cop, not some man!"
"!!!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Jinx, shut your mouth!" Vi was furious and reached out to grab Jinx.
Jinx nimbly dodged Vi's hand, jumped back, let out a "haha," stood with her hands on her hips, and looked at Vi with a sly expression, pouting as she said, "Hey, did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong, why are you so nervous? Or are you afraid that Vander won't approve of you being with that skinny cop?"
"If you say that again, I'm really going to get angry!"
"You think I'm afraid of you? Come on, come and hit me!" Jinx made a face at Vi.
Just kidding, she now has the backing of Silco, Vander, Li Ke.
Are you afraid of NIO?
"You!" Wei was furious.
Jinx turned and ran ahead, while Vi took a deep breath and dashed off to catch up with Jinx.
Vander was in a daze as he watched his two daughters run ahead, their noisy laughter echoing in the air.
No, my daughter... she's become this rebellious!?
Tattoos, earrings, drinking, and now even female ketosis?!
"Li Ke, is everything Jinx said true?" Vander turned to look at Li Ke and asked seriously.
"Hmm, more or less. But there's an even bigger surprise waiting for you." Li Ke reached out and patted Vander's shoulder.
"Anything else?" Vander's lips twitched.
"Exactly, Jinx isn't as well-behaved as you think. You'll find out later," Li Ke said with a mischievous grin.
Upon hearing this, Silco's lips curled into a smile.
Jinx is his pet, and now, let Vander worry about it.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Li Ke, Vander, the three of us need to find a place to have a serious talk."
Silco walked forward, glancing back at Li Ke and Vander.
"Now that you're back, it's time for us to sound the horn of counterattack."
Li Ke nodded.
Honestly, without powerful Hextech weapons, Vander could single-handedly sweep through Piltover; his current combat strength is simply unmatched by any human.
And what about Li Ke?
How about Twin Cities nuclear weapon?
"..." Vander first met Silco's gaze in silence.
Then he nodded:
"Good."
