"Dak'er, what are you doing here?"
Duke raised an eyebrow in surprise. Dak'er waved friendly at Jayce and Viktor, and they returned polite smiles.
"Can't I come?"
There was a hint of sorrow in Dak'er's eyes. Noticing this, Duke walked out the door. "Come on, tell me in detail. From your look, it doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Excuse me for a moment!"
Dak'er was not as casual as Duke; her every word and action carried an elegance that ordinary people could not match. After all, she had been trained as the Family Head's successor for so long and had only recently officially become the Family Head.
But after becoming the Family Head, she realized how agonizing this position was.
Not only did she have to deal with others coveting the Ferros Family, but she also had to consolidate the family's status and expand outwards. In just a few days, she felt like she was going crazy.
Moreover, Camille did not choose to interfere with family affairs; instead, she handed everything over to her, calling it training for her. What was even more infuriating was that Duke, who was supposed to be her exclusive secret agent, was nowhere to be found.
He had been missing for almost a week, with no news at all.
If she hadn't come to find him, he probably would have disappeared for an even longer time.
After leaving the laboratory, Duke came to the coast outside the workshop, looking at the fluctuating tides.
"What happened? Your face doesn't look so good!"
Duke, who had turned around, looked at Dak'er. Dak'er rolled her eyes: "So, if I didn't come to find you, you'd just keep ignoring family matters?"
"I'm just doing research!"
Duke spread his hands, shrugging his shoulders, looking extremely innocent.
"So, in your eyes, research is more important than everything else?"
Dak'er's temper was not small. Duke nodded as a matter of course. Dak'er covered her forehead and sighed heavily: "Oh my god, you really make people grit their teeth in anger."
"Alright, stop talking about that. I know you're feeling bad. Seeing your Grand Aunt strangle your Grandpa with your own eyes, anyone would be scared."
"What happened? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it!"
Looking at Arrogance, who had followed and was on alert not far away, Duke seemed full of confidence. When Dak'er heard Duke speak, she went straight to the point: "A batch of materials we transported from Ionia has been detained."
"Noxus?"
Duke raised an eyebrow. He was annoyed whenever he heard Noxus now, the reason being that dream about Mordekaiser. In the dream, Mordekaiser silently watched him, as if reminding him not to forget something.
"No, it was seized in Bilgewater!"
"Bilgewater?" Duke's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: "It couldn't have been seized by Gangplank, could it?"
"Exactly, it's Gangplank, the uncrowned king of Bilgewater, the overlord of the seas, the Scourge of the Ocean—Gangplank!"
"This is really a headache!"
Duke rubbed his temples with both hands.
In Piltover, the Ferros Family is the undisputed uncrowned king, capable of controlling the operation of the entire Twin Cities.
Furthermore, for Ferros, anyone can be eliminated.
As long as they affect the operation of the Twin Cities and the Ferros Family.
Those who affect the operation of the Twin Cities are called broken gears and need to be removed from the massive body of the Twin Cities before they trigger a chain reaction.
This shows the strength of the Ferros Family, which possesses Camille.
But that's as far as it goes!
In Piltover, the Ferros Family's word is law, but in other places, people might not give them face!
In the port city of Bilgewater, Gangplank is the undisputed uncrowned king; what he loves to do most is nail his latest bounties to the bulletin board, letting people know his power and terror.
And his strength is also extremely terrifying; his ship was the Leviathan he seized from Crow, and the moment its black sails rose, no one on the sea dared to contend with this overlord of the ocean.
Moreover, this old man is ruthless, heartless, and backed by powerful strength; besides that, the Kraken Priestess Illaoi was his girlfriend—well, ex-girlfriend!
This is also key to his dominance of Bilgewater.
