Hearing Stevan's proposal, before Emistan could react, everyone around let out a surprised exclamation.
Noticing everyone's abnormality, Emistan also cast her gaze at Jago Medarda on the side. Seeing this, Jago Medarda explained: "Among the main industries of House Ferros, besides the Hextech Crystal-related industries, there is also the Piltover Wardens..."
Hearing Jago's words, a trace of surprise flashed through Emistan's eyes. Seeing this, Jago glanced at Stevan again and said in a low voice: "But it seems the power of House Ferros in this aspect is commanded by the Principal Intelligencer..."
Although he didn't say much more, combining the current situation, Emistan also quickly understood what Jago wanted to express.
To this, Emistan naturally wouldn't have any objections. She then nodded with a face full of smiles, saying to Stevan: "I didn't expect Piltover to actually have a great person like you, willing to make sacrifices considering the big picture. Please rest assured, when everything returns to its original right track, Noxus will definitely assist House Ferros in building a more magnificent Piltover Wardens headquarters on the ruins!"
Hearing Emistan's guarantee to accept House Ferros in the name of Noxus afterwards, a smile also appeared on Stevan's face.
On the side, looking at everyone conversing, although not very clear, it wasn't the first time attending such a banquet as the poster child of the Runic Blade Legion; Riven could more or less realize some interest exchanges within.
Especially after knowing Stevan's purpose seemed to target a certain existence within the family, she couldn't help but frown, her expression filled with heartfelt incomprehension.
"Tsk tsk, his own sister is out there fighting tooth and nail, taking the lead. The result is that before any situation happened outside, I didn't expect his own brother to start playing this backstabbing game."
Hearing the casual voice, Riven also followed the direction of the voice and looked over. What entered her vision was a tall man. Not overly burly, but displaying excellent proportion. Even through his thin clothes, Riven could clearly feel the explosive power hidden in his body.
A tough face, clear eyes. A head of short, choppy black hair looked exceptionally capable, which gave Riven, who originated from the military, a very good first impression.
Feeling Riven's gaze, Faen also greeted with a familiar face: "First time meeting, you must be Riven, right? I can tell, as a warrior, the atmosphere here is simply a kind of torture for you."
"It's okay." Although not knowing Faen's identity and name, Riven didn't feel nervous and guarded because of this—this was Bluewind Manor in Piltover, and a banquet scene gathered with dignitaries. Subconsciously, Riven also regarded Faen as a guard or mercenary of some trade noble.
Thinking this, Riven also shrugged and said: "It's exactly because I can't play mind games that I chose to join the army, speaking with strength and military exploits. Speaking of which, who are you? Which family are you from? You have a good build, not joining the Noxian army to make a name for yourself, what's the point of staying here as a guard?"
"I am a security guard, protecting the family's safety~" Hearing the words in Riven's words that she couldn't bear to see him buried so she gave advice and provided a way out, the corner of Faen's mouth didn't show anxiety. He just leaned to the side saying with a face full of interest:
"I don't know where I'm going next, but frankly speaking, good thing I came in time, otherwise I would definitely miss this good show."
While speaking, Faen also cast his gaze behind him: "See, heard it all, right? This is the conclusion drawn by you Piltovians yourselves. Even I only just found out now."
Hearing Faen's words, the face of Jinx, who came along, hung a thick wicked taste. In contrast, Caitlyn's face was full of anger.
"See, I told you we had to bring her." Jinx looked at Faen proudly and said: "Otherwise we would definitely miss the current good show!"
Caitlyn originally wouldn't have appeared here, but after Jinx conveyed the news about Emistan's public speech, Faen temporarily decided to cut the Gordian knot and directly solve the messy things in the Twin Cities here.
Considering the banquet was already underway, Faen just notified Zeri and others to make preparations for the later stages, and then took Jinx directly to the banquet scene.
As Caitlyn's jailer, Jinx also requested to bring Caitlyn along, the reason being that having grown up in Bluewind Manor, Caitlyn should be able to provide help during the infiltration process—pure bullshit. Faen bet that the actual Jinx just wanted to make Caitlyn feel pain and torment through this attack.
Who would have thought, before the battle even started, the backstab from within Piltover left Caitlyn dumbfounded and unable to accept it.
As the top student of House Kiramman, Caitlyn had met Stevan more than once. She also knew very well that as the biggest financial backer of House Kiramman and the Piltover Wardens, the help House Ferros provided to the Piltover Wardens, besides the most superficial wealth investment, was also a large number of Hextech Crystal powered weapons.
These power equipment allowed the Enforcers of the Piltover Wardens to occupy an almost overwhelming equipment advantage when facing the same number of Zaun thugs. Besides this, as the top student of House Kiramman, Caitlyn heard her mother say more than once that the truly most precious sponsorship from House Ferros was the intelligence channels—this allowed the Piltover Wardens to often grasp all situations happening in Piltover in the first time.
Under these circumstances, let alone ordinary Enforcers, even Caitlyn herself was exceptionally reliant on the news provided by House Ferros—and delegated to the grassroots Enforcers, this trust simply reached the point of blind obedience.
And now... House Ferros wants to backstab the Piltover Wardens?
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears—even saying, even having heard it with her own ears, the current Caitlyn still felt a burst of thick disbelief.
And just when Caitlyn couldn't hold back walking towards everyone, wanting to publicly question Stevan, on the other side, Emistan raised her wine glass, aiming at the direction of the Piltover Wardens from afar and said: "So now, friends, let our plan officially begin~!"
