After convincing Tamara, Swain added another person to his business team.
Although Tamara herself has little combat effectiveness, as an ace spy, she can help Swain fill in many gaps in intelligence by checking for gaps.
For example, after Tamara joined and learned a little bit about Swain's plan, she quickly became aware of a key figure.
"Miss Mel is the actual helmsman of the Myrdalda family, and Mr. Jagu has passed away now."
"He said he has been operating in Piltover for many years and holds many patents?"
"As the old calendar goes, Councilman Mel Myrdalda and Jess Tallis are an unmarried couple and are about to get married - and Jess Tallis is the founder of Hex Technology." Tamar
La quickly clarified the internal relationships among these wealthy Piltover merchants and nobles, "So, if we need to rely on the power of the Myrdalda family to control Piltover, we need to hold Miss Mel in our hands."
After getting the news, Swain immediately called Jagu.
When Jagu Myrdalda saw Swain, the old man was already sweating profusely - judging from his restless expression, he didn't seem to be in a good state.
"Didn't you attack Ms. Mel?" Relying on the information provided by Tamara, Swain deceived him as soon as he opened his mouth. "She ran away?"
"You... how do you know?" Jagu sweated profusely as his thoughts were revealed. "Dear Sir Swain, that was just a small accident."
"So, is the Myrdalda family under your control?" Swain didn't care about Jagu's excuses. "Gunojia has already shown his strength. Is it possible that all Myrdalda can do is provide a few maps?
"
Swain's words made Jagu extremely anxious - he never expected that a team of people he sent to arrest Mel and Jace would fail?!
"That was just an accident." In this case, all Jagu could do was reassure repeatedly, "Jace's combat effectiveness exceeded expectations - but it doesn't matter, we have forced them away!"
……………………
Was Jace forced out?
Yes.
Let's turn back the clock a little - to the end of that special meeting of parliamentarians.
As a pacifist, Jess does not want Piltover and Zaun to launch a full-scale confrontation. Although he himself has always been biased against Zaun, this does not mean that he wants Piltover to use this approach that is almost
The means of war broke out with Zu An.
On the one hand, this is because the joint cooperation experiment between the two cities is related to the life and death of his friends. On the other hand, Jace also has absolute confidence in himself.
Maybe the Zaans have mastered some new technology, but the potential of Hextech is endless!
We can also win in upright technological and commercial competitions, so why should we engage in such a confrontation that may injure the enemy a thousand, damage ourselves eight hundred, or even trigger a violent war?
But it is a pity that among the Piltover Council, only Jess is a technical and pacifist in the true sense.
In front of all the votes in favor, Jess's persistence alone has no meaning.
Jess had no choice but to leave the parliament building, feeling depressed.
In this way, the depressed Jess decided to get into work to relieve this unhappy mood.
The Tallis family has always been engaged in tool processing - in other words, their family used to forge hammers.
Although he studied all the way to the Piltover Academy of Science and Progress as a genius, Jess spent a lot of time by the fire during his teenage years. For him, the means of making a living finally became a kind of
A unique hobby.
In his spare time, Jace has been forging a hammer - only, this is not a simple hammer, but a high-tech hammer that uses all the Hex science and technology that Jace has mastered.
In Jace's plan, this hammer will have a variety of functions and uses, including transformation attacks, energy shocks, shield generators, and acceleration fields.
With a kind of inventor's romance, he decided to use this hammer as his first prototype.
Now that he was in a bad mood, Jess simply went to the private forging workshop and remade his own hammer with no shirt on his back.
After hearing the news, Mel hurried over and wanted to relieve Jess who was in a bad mood. As Jess's "political mind", after hearing about the council's decision, Mel knew that this decision was irresistible.
, she just wanted Jace to accept this matter calmly.
Then, before Jace's anger subsided, the assassins of the Myrdalda family followed the trail.
Objectively speaking, as the former head of the Midarda family, the assassins recruited by Jagu Midarda are all very good in terms of strength and equipment.
They were using Hextech weapons that had flowed into the black market and were tacitly approved as the private weapons of various families. To ensure safety, they also took Noxian military-style low-light diluting potions - since Singed was caught
After that, the price of shimmer has skyrocketed. Even a tube of shimmer thinner costs more than twenty gold hex.
The Midarda family can qualify as patent vampires, and this secret assassin team has also put in a lot of effort.
But the problem is that these assassins are good at killing, but not good at Hextech - they can use the tools they have at hand, but they have no idea about the principles of these tools.
So, just as they arrived outside Jace's private laboratory, Jace inside the laboratory received an alarm.
Jess didn't know who these people were.
But Mel only took one look through the Hexoscope to realize that something was wrong.
"They are Jagu's men!" Mel's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is he planning to attack me? Damn it, how dare he!"
Realizing that something serious might have happened, Mel urged Jess to leave, but Jess, who was already unhappy, also became stubborn - run? Run with a hammer!
Although there is still a big gap between Jace and Heimerdinger in terms of automation design level, this private laboratory still has partially automated security. When these killers are looking for the best place to climb over the wall, they are hiding
The coil at the corner suddenly charged up, giving a guy who was too close to the wall a feeling of electric shock in his body.
Seeing their companions twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and scars caused by arc burns appearing on their palms, how could the other six people not know that they had been discovered?
It seems that the stealth assassination has failed... Then let's change the method and do it directly!
The next moment, the leading assassin took out the spare battery of his energy weapon, then carefully disassembled it, took out a Hex core, and stuffed it into the keyhole of the laboratory door.
With a rumble, the door to Jace's private laboratory was opened.
Six assassins swarmed in - then, they didn't see Mel, the target of their trip, but they saw Jace, who was fully armed and holding a war hammer.
