Holding the documents, Jinx and Zeri began to discuss the next development of the Twin Cities with Camille and others. Called discussion, but actually everyone present knew clearly that the final interpretation right of all this was in Faen's hands. Coupled with Camille's bias, they simply didn't have much capital to negotiate—the guys Faen crushed to death just now were right in front of them. They knew without thinking that the families of these guys would also plummet with what happened today.
And just as they were worrying whether Zaun would make them become the past Zaun too, accompanied by the release of relevant regulations, a look of surprise also appeared in everyone's expression—although some clauses were harsh, they were also profitable for them. It was just that before they could earn eighty percent, leaving twenty percent, ten for executives, ten for maintaining operations. And now they also took ten percent, while the rest belonged to Zaun.
Although less, at least there was income, right? Under such thoughts, accompanied by the first councilor actively agreeing, soon everyone, realizing Faen who possessed absolute power possessed absolute reason here, obediently passed this series of proposals and clauses.
And in this process, at the very beginning, Faen still sat there with the thought of 'seeing which kid is disobedient'. But slowly, finding everyone already knew what they should do, Faen also started to get bored. Simply, when the meeting process reached the middle stage, Faen stood up and said: "You guys chat first, don't forget to send the results to my place later, I'll go busy with other things first."
Hearing this, Camille nodded: "As you wish." The subsequent Faen waved to Zeri and others, then turned and left. And glancing at everyone staying here, following behind Faen, Riven didn't linger much either. Instead, after following Faen to the terrace outside, she asked: "Are you planning to... go find those pirates next?"
"Of course, after all there's nothing else to do." Faen moved his shoulders twice, saying with slight thought hanging between his brows: "Although Zaun is not bad, it doesn't completely conform to my interests. A place closely connected with everywhere in Runeterra, but not so tight... Bilgewater is a good choice."
Although life in Zaun was very comfortable, to be honest, Faen didn't intend to live in Zaun forever. Because Faen knew very well that the future of this world was full of various crises. Wanting to survive and choose his destiny freely, he needed power. And now, his power originated from the 'joy' among all life emotions in Runeterra. Then, living in Zaun forever didn't conform to Faen's interests.
In fact, it could be seen from the many situations Zaun faced now that Faen staying in one place in the material realm for a long time, even if Faen himself didn't care, people would produce different emotions because of Faen's arrival. And after leaving, a corresponding sense of loss would more or less be produced... In this way, finding a place where a bowl of water could be held level became a necessary thing for Faen.
Before, although realizing this, Faen wasn't very anxious. After all, although Zaun was on the right track, Piltover, the other half of the Twin Cities region, hadn't followed onto the right track yet. Wait until dealing with Piltover's matters completely, then incidentally see if he could find a satisfactory place to be his future 'home'.
And now... Bilgewater was undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Maintaining distance from the entire Runeterra, but able to quickly link every corner of Runeterra through developed routes, knowing all news of Runeterra. And more importantly, Bilgewater was one of the few places where Faen completely didn't care whether people here were happy or not.
Harbor city, Bilgewater, the most notorious lawless place in Runeterra. Serpent hunters, dock gangs, smuggling, dark mercenaries, human traffickers, arms dealers. Various professions that shouldn't appear under the sun in people's impression could be said to be everywhere in Bilgewater. And besides those people from various known regions and city-states of Runeterra, many people from some areas unknown to outsiders would also regard Bilgewater as their first foothold.
Precisely because of this chaotic personnel composition, in Bilgewater, whether rich enough to rival a country or family ruined and people dead, it's only in an instant. Similarly, for those escaping judgment, debt, and persecution, this city was equivalent to letting them have a chance to restart—never mind if this restart was a hell start, at least a restart chance was given to you. The root cause was that on the winding streets of Bilgewater, there weren't many clean people at all, so naturally no one would care about your past.
Unless your head is very valuable.
Under these circumstances, Faen knew deeply that there were damn few clean people in the entire Bilgewater. And producing joy also had difficulties—like Zaun workers, letting them eat a full meal would make them happy to death, able to truly feel joy and excitement. But for those people in Bilgewater...
Although couldn't arbitrarily say everyone there was a villain, shooting every other one, at least half would be fish slipping through the net. And wanting to make such villains happy... doing too many illegal and criminal things, the threshold for producing joy naturally increased. Just like people used to eating lantern chili and shabu-shabu spicy hot pot could hardly feel stimulation from Erjingtiao chili, making these people happy required making many people feel pain.
Thinking this, Faen licked the corner of his mouth, immediately saying to Riven on the side: "Get ready."
"Ready? Ready for what?" Hearing this, Riven looked puzzled.
"What ready? Of course fulfilling your duty." Faen poked Riven's chest helplessly, but was slapped away by Riven in shame and anger. To this, Faen didn't mind, just spreading his hands and saying: "You are my guard, have to protect me well next."
"Me? Protect you?" Hearing this, Riven curled her lips somewhat disgustedly: "Me being able to protect you is the best joke I've heard during this period..."
Although saying so, Riven still obediently activated the Joy Mark to take out her weapon.
"Although don't know what ghost thing you are doing again, I will obey your orders."
