So you're here to catch me, then it's nothing.

Lecturing?

What kind of lecture could a rough Zaunite apprentice possibly give to the geniuses of Piltover University?

Caitlyn and her group, curious and wary, slowly approached the outside of the classroom where the prisoner was located.

Hiding in the corner, they carefully observed through the window:

The criminal, Li Wei, was indeed inside.

And he really seemed to be discussing and exchanging ideas with those genius students.

Judging from the students' attitude towards Li Wei, they really seemed to regard this Zaunite apprentice as a respected and admired teacher.

Then, listening to the content of their current discussion:

Something about "technical advantages," "value conversion," "key paths," "empowerment," "entry points," "pain points," "tracks," "life cycles," and "ecological synergy."

It didn't sound like a lecture, but rather a discussion about some kind of business?

Wait, and that curly-haired man with a scholarly air who was chatting enthusiastically with Li Wei—

Wasn't that Jayce's best friend, Professor Viktor?

Caitlyn was practically Jayce's childhood sweetheart. Their Kiramman family had also been a sponsor supporting Jayce's research. The connection between the two had always been very close.

Therefore, Caitlyn also had some impression of Viktor, knowing that this unknown man was actually quite extraordinary.

But how could such a giant in the academic world be mixed up with a Zaunite violent criminal?

And even be discussing business together?

"Officer," Caitlyn couldn't help but ask the leading officer in a low voice, "Is this guy really the criminal we're looking for?"

That savage Zaunite who had caused grievous bodily harm in a fight, openly robbed property, possessed prohibited drugs, and was utterly vicious... How did he look more shrewd, capable, and cultured than her family's financial steward?

"Uh, this..."

The old officer also seemed somewhat confused by the current situation.

But the information from above was very detailed. The photos of Li Wei and Lina were both clear and recognizable. There was no way they could be mistaken.

"Miss Caitlyn, please don't let your guard down. Many Zaunites are like this. They look honest and harmless, even cultured like scholars, but..."

"I understand, Officer," Caitlyn nodded solemnly.

She gripped her rifle tightly, constantly preparing to guard against Li Wei tearing off his mask in desperation, cornered like a dog jumping over a wall, and brutally attacking the professors and students in the classroom.

"Okay, then we'll now deploy into an attack formation and prepare to breach the door and carry out the arrest!"

"Miss Caitlyn, you'll be responsible for hiding behind us... ahem, providing remote fire support."

Saying that, the old officer nodded to his subordinates.

Then, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, the Enforcers, led by the two strongest, braced themselves in front to breach the door, while the rest formed a double human wall shoulder to shoulder, tightly blocking Caitlyn.

Not to mention providing remote fire support from the rear, she would have to stand on a stool to even see the criminal.

Caitlyn: "..."

"Officer, with all due respect—what kind of attack formation is this?"

"I don't remember being taught this in the training manuals!"

"Miss Caitlyn," the old officer didn't back down this time, "Please don't make things difficult for me. Chief Marcos didn't intend for you to participate in this mission in the first place, but you insisted on getting involved..."

"Bringing you here on my own is already a violation of orders. Please cooperate with us as much as possible!"

"Sigh," those deep blue eyes were full of helplessness, "You don't have to go to such lengths. I'm not some rookie. You don't need to use your bodies to shield me from bullets."

"I know you're very skilled, but..." The old officer couldn't help but say the truth, "If something happens to you here, our fate will be worse than taking a bullet."

Caitlyn was silent.

She couldn't help but look at the Hextech-engineered rifle custom-made for her by her family. This gun possessed the highest precision, power, and stability, equipped with different types of specialized ammunition and modified accessories, and could be called the king of guns in Piltover.

This single gun alone was worth several years' salary for an ordinary Enforcer.

Perhaps her dream of becoming an ordinary Enforcer was a joke from the beginning.

"Miss Caitlyn—"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes," Caitlyn dejectedly hid behind the human wall.

The attack began.

Li Wei, along with investor representative Seraphine and technology representative Viktor, discussed the upcoming business plan in detail.

Of course, the main participants in the discussion were Li Wei and Viktor.

Seraphine was only responsible for "Mm-hmm," "Yes," "Okay," and pretending to listen attentively with her big eyes—there was no way, she really couldn't muster any interest in doing business.

And just as Li Wei had finalized the organization's fundraising plan and was still chatting enthusiastically, suddenly...

Janna reminded him that there were many more people breathing outside the classroom.

Quite a few people were approaching.

"Who is it?" Li Wei was wary, but he didn't overthink it.

He was about to go take a look when the classroom door was kicked open from the outside:

"Open up! Nobody move!"

A wall of burly men poured in.

Then 7 or 8 pistols and rifles were pointed at Li Wei's head without explanation. The dark muzzles instantly formed an invisible net, trapping him in the center of a crossfire:

"Li Wei, hands up!"

"Damn! Enforcers?!"

Li Wei was taken aback by the scene.

The Wind Takers hadn't even done anything yet, and the Enforcers were already knocking on the door. This...

Piltover Enforcers' work efficiency is too damn high, isn't it?

Their group was less than an hour old!

How did the enemy know all this?

Even Li Wei was shocked by this unexpected scene. The students were even more caught off guard by the Enforcers' sudden appearance.

Li Wei could even sense through Janna that in the short dozen seconds after this sudden change...

Several students' threads of faith had become dim, faded, and even almost imperceptible, teetering on the brink.

"Indeed... Having faith doesn't necessarily mean you can withstand the trials ahead."

"The passion when discussing grand strategies often disappears when it's time to shed blood for them." Li Wei sighed softly.

But this was human nature. He himself had been startled by the Enforcers, so of course he could understand the young students' instinctive fear of facing enemy guns and bloodshed.

Li Wei knew that what he should do at this time was not to condemn their "cowardice," but to try to show the Wind Takers' bravery and fearlessness, to bring confidence to his companions.

Even if he couldn't bring confidence, he had to at least leave a tragic story of "death before surrender" for those who came later.

Otherwise, if he, the founder, made a joke about "the water's too cold," "my scalp itches," or "saving Zaun through indirect means" on the first day of this ideal's beginning...

Then Janna's faith, the ideal he had been pursuing since his previous life, would probably die a pathetic death here.

So, while Li Wei secretly circulated the divine power within his body, preparing for a desperate fight to the death, he tried to act like a lofty idealist, calmly asking the Enforcers:

"Enforcer, may I ask... what do you want with me?"

"Hmph!" The leading officer snorted coldly, "Still pretending you don't know?"

"Li Wei, you assaulted a Piltover citizen in the street, causing serious injury, publicly robbed citizens of their property, and possessed the illegal substance Shimmer—we're here to arrest you, you violent criminal!"

"Oh, so you're just here to arrest me..." Li Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's nothing."

The Enforcers: "???"

"Wait..."

Li Wei suddenly reacted:

"Fighting, robbery? I..."

"Damn it! That bastard Aubrey really called the police?"

This Zaun gang that trafficked people, lent money at high interest rates, smuggled contraband, and ran a flesh trade, actually went to the police!

Li Wei subconsciously looked at Seraphine.

"Mr. Li Wei, don't worry—"

Seraphine's innocent and ignorant clear eyes seemed to be full of wisdom at this time:

"I've already taken these situations into consideration for you!"
