Hearing the name Bilgewater, the reactions of everyone present varied. Caitlyn frowned slightly, a flash of surprise appearing between her brows, but after a brief astonishment, there wasn't much surprise.
In contrast, although Zeri and others were similar, they were still bewildered and confused about the unknown—mainly not knowing how to handle it. After all, this was related to another city-state, and before this, Zaun had almost never communicated with city-states other than Piltover.
While Faen looked curious, rubbing his chin and asking: "Bilgewater people? Whose fleet? Miss Fortune?"
"What Miss Fortune?" Hearing Faen's words, Vi on the side looked at Faen somewhat suspiciously, seemingly never having heard of this name. Then she said with a completely indifferent face: "Seems to be a guy named Gangplank, seemingly coming here with some purpose. I don't know the specific situation either; you go ask Camille yourself."
"Let's go."
Faen patted Caitlyn's buttocks gently. Under the female officer's somewhat helpless gaze, he withdrew his hand and turned to say: "Time to do some business too."
"Thank heaven for that." Complaining, she then set off together with Faen. But not long after leaving, Caitlyn asked curiously: "Who is Miss Fortune? You know her?"
"Not really, a girl. I know her, but she doesn't know me~" Faen shrugged, not feeling the slightest nervousness because of Caitlyn's inquiry. And after hearing Faen's answer, Caitlyn also froze, then said thoughtfully: "You know her but she doesn't know you... that is to say, you have seen the future related to her."
Faen's ability of prophecy wasn't a secret, because Faen basically never thought about hiding it—and, Faen wasn't worried about anyone thinking he was a liar.
Because he was originally a liar, originally didn't have the ability of prophecy. The so-called prophecy was more of related inferences based on League of Legends background stories combined with information and data collected after coming to this world. Based on this point, even if someone thought Faen was a liar, it didn't matter. Because Faen didn't rely on this to make a living at all.
But looking at the current situation, it seemed the less Faen cared about the authenticity of this matter, the more people thought so. Developing to now, it seemed even if Faen stood up himself to prove he wasn't a prophet, didn't have divination magic and talent, probably no one would believe it either...
Thinking this, Faen said calmly: "More or less, possessing a blood feud with Gangplank. Calculating the time, if even you haven't heard of her, she should have just made her debut now."
"Is her future achievement very outstanding?" Hearing this, Caitlyn blinked and said: "To get your attention like this."
"Future Queen of Bilgewater."
"Queen of Bilgewater? That's really quite an achievement..." Hearing the answer given by Faen, a flash of surprise passed through Caitlyn's eyes. To this, Faen shook his head and said: "Just a queen on the surface. You know what kind of hellhole Bilgewater is; full of conspiracies and tricks everywhere, full of outlaws everywhere. Not to mention those who obey orders on the surface, just those who rebel openly won't be few."
"Saying so... you don't favor her?" Caitlyn asked, and Caitlyn's inquiry also made Faen cast an interested gaze at Caitlyn on the side:
"What, you seem to care about my opinion very much?"
"Of course, you are the master of the Twin Cities now." Caitlyn shrugged as a matter of course, then said: "Bilgewater is only separated from Piltover by a sea. If you think that guy called Miss Fortune is very valuable, then reasonably I won't let go of this good investment opportunity."
"Aren't you worried about investment risks?"
Hearing this, Caitlyn didn't answer immediately, but stared at Faen for a while, then continued: "Although it's weird to say, based on my understanding of you, if this matter really had great risks, you would definitely warn in advance, instead of watching me fall into a fire pit helplessly."
Saying this, Caitlyn smacked her lips, then said somewhat helplessly: "After all, the current me has already fallen into a deep pit impossible to escape."
"That should have nothing to do with me." Faen's face was frank.
Caitlyn rolled her eyes, not speaking.
And after this, Faen just rubbed his chin and said: "Miss Fortune is still very worth investing in. Invest with confidence; this will be a profitable business."
"Then I'm relieved." Caitlyn nodded with satisfaction.
And on the side, listening to the conversation between Caitlyn and Faen, Vi scratched her head, then said with a face full of suspicion: "Wait... wait a minute, why do I feel this scene is a bit familiar? Are you guys secretly doing some insider trading?"
If Vi remembered correctly, in Piltover's exchange, similar news trading was strictly prohibited. Especially Enforcers and representatives of major families; legislation even stipulated prohibiting communicating in advance and falsifying in this aspect of trading.
To this, Caitlyn just glanced at Vi, then shook her head and said: "This kind of thing... forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, no problem."
"Oh, okay." Although feeling something was wrong somewhere, since Caitlyn said no problem, Vi tilted her head and didn't take this matter to heart.
And amidst conversation, everyone also arrived at the Piltover Council Tower.
When arriving at the periphery, everyone saw countless onlookers and news reporters from afar. And when they got closer, or rather after someone discovered Faen's group, a slight commotion occurred in the crowd. Fortunately, the Enforcers on the scene should have been given strict orders before arriving, so before the chaos appeared, Enforcers holding Hextech crystal batons one by one strangled all bad signs before they ignited.
Arriving at the entrance, under the guidance of reception personnel, Faen and others went straight to the conference center. The huge circular conference room was full of people from all over Runeterra, different in both image and skin color.
And standing in the center, after noticing Faen's arrival, Camille also bowed and greeted.
"Greetings to you, Mr. Faen."
"You're welcome." Finding a seat randomly to sit down, Faen leaned back in the chair, putting both feet on the table, asking casually: "What happened on Bilgewater's side?"
