"That really took a lot out of me."
Luo Huan took a deep breath, restoring her magic power.
Even with the physical qualities of five people stacked together, it didn’t help her magic power much.
After all, without a renowned teacher or specialized training, she could only rely on bodily instincts to convert magic power for now.
Just activating Reverse Life Triple once nearly drained her.
What kind of new model Kakashi was this?
But using some demon fire and opening the Three Tomoe Sharingan wasn’t an issue.
As for those Five-Element Ninjutsu—forget it, the hand seals were way too slow.
"Not sure if I can beat the Scissor Legs. By the way, is there really something called Scissor Legs? I’ll have to ask Silco later."
Luo Huan compared her strength, but since she hadn’t fought for real, she wasn’t very certain.
As for Scissor Legs, it referred to a techno-enhanced human from the noble Piltover Ferros family, based on primitive Hextech.
Spy of the Blue Light—Camille Ferros.
But Luo Huan felt this thing might not even exist.
After all, the backstory had changed, and the origins of Hextech were different now.
Just classic League of Legends things.
"Come to think of it, Piltover doesn’t really have any freaks at this time."
Luo Huan pondered carefully.
Although Piltover and Zaun were just side streets compared to the whole of Runeterra—
They were at the bottom rung of the power rankings.
Still, there were a few, though each had their own thing going on at this point.
The strongest power? Still unclear if it was even alive. Right now, almost only the faith god believed by some Zaunites and elderly Piltoverians remained—Janna, the Storm’s Fury.
Even now, it was uncertain if they could win the resurrection round.
Then there were those Piltover Hextech-enhanced humans who may or may not exist, top-tier spies of the Ferros family—Camille, the Steel Shadow.
She gained extraordinary power through a Hextech core and could even live forever.
But right now, Viktor and Jayce hadn’t even graduated from Piltover University yet, and Hextech hadn’t even started!
Luo Huan felt it was very sketchy. If it really existed, Vander wouldn’t even be able to charge the bridge—heck, getting out of Fogen Tavern would be a problem.
And that god-level Viktor?
Lunatics step aside. If he did show up, Luo Huan would definitely run away first.
Damn time-warping supermodels!
If he showed up, she’d bolt straight to Noxus and have that combo-heavy Iron Man go fight him.
And if no cross-dimensional antics had happened, then right now, Viktor was just a limping freshman!
"Mm, I’ve got to go ask Silco and have a proper talk about how to charge."
Luo Huan shook her head, choosing not to dwell on those bizarre thoughts.
She turned and walked upward, weaving through various pipes.
"Hm? Was that something just now?"
A breeze passed.
Luo Huan turned her head and looked behind, her eyes glowing red to scan.
All she saw was the broken alchemy lamp she’d stepped on, leaking all over the ground.
A disgusting green.
The mossy pipes were growing glowing mushrooms.
All standard sights in Zaun.
Luo Huan sensed for a while longer but found nothing wrong, then shook her head and continued upward.
"Scaring myself."
…
"Boss lady, are we really going for another charge?"
Sevika was helping the mobility-impaired Zaun residents move their things with her boys when—
One of her underlings spoke up.
"Two of our brothers were just killed by that Enforcer, even Stan and the others are dead."
His eyes held some fear. After all, Luo Huan’s father had charged ahead of him with a metal pipe back then.
Blood had sprayed right onto his face.
"You scared or what?"
Sevika glared fiercely at the underling.
"If you're afraid of dying, then scram—scram into the gutters and wait to die, go be a useless coward!"
Her good mood vanished instantly.
She turned with a stern face to look at the underling, then swept her gaze over the others.
She found that the eyes of the other underlings also held traces of fear, more or less.
"Tsui! Spineless!"
Sevika spat on the ground and cursed with a dark expression.
"Think about what Luo Huan said. Even a kid like her, who just lost her parents, dared to stand up. Why are you all so gutless?"
"You don't even dare to die in battle—do you even deserve to call yourself a Zaunite!"
Sevika grabbed the underling by the collar, locking eyes with him.
Then she directly threw him to the ground.
"Move!"
"Eh, Boss Lady, wait for me!"
…
"So these are Piltover's nobles… seems like the number of Enforcers has gone up too…"
Silco frowned and pressed his temple.
He was sitting at the bar, sorting through the intelligence his underlings had gathered.
All of it was about the Piltover side.
After all, before the bridge charge, they had also collected some basic information about Piltover.
But it was only a very superficial portion.
Now that they had sent people out again, the situation turned out to be even less favorable.
"Uncle Silco, how’s the info gathering going?"
Luo Huan walked in, her cat ears perking up with vivid energy.
Wearing a short top that showed her belly and a pair of shorts, she strutted in with the elegant swagger of a delinquent kitten.
"Little Stan, the situation doesn’t look good. Here’s the intel on those Piltover nobles you wanted."
Silco didn’t sugarcoat it and directly handed over a small stack of papers to Luo Huan.
"Mm."
Luo Huan took it and immediately began flipping through it page by page.
The old cake Gilamann family and a few other councilor families were listed clearly, along with all the nobles in Piltover with even a bit of influence.
But it was all just shallow info—positions, names, and a few details about the pillars of their families.
"New nobles, Mel from the Medarda Trading Company."
Luo Huan turned to one name—Mel, that woman who had nothing to blackmail her with except being from Noxus’ Medarda family.
Currently just a minor business noble.
"New noble Ferros family, pillar of the family is a new mining machine patent?"
She found her target on the last few pages—the Ferros family.
They were currently just like Jayce’s family, barely climbing into the noble class through minor patents, fitting the profile of a tech-noble unique to Piltover.
She nodded.
"Uncle Silco, is this information reliable?"
"Most of it is stuff they published themselves to attract students and investments. Usually not too far off."
Silco explained.
He had done some research on how Piltover operated and knew that this kind of info was typically accurate.
After all, in Piltover, if you didn’t put out something that attracted people, talents wouldn’t come your way.
"That’s enough then."
Luo Huan nodded.
If that was the case, then the Steel Shadow probably didn’t exist.
Her heart settled down.
"Uncle Silco, anything else worrying you?"
Hearing this, Silco pointed at the intel and spoke.
"Little Stan, we’re running out of time."
