-93- Who is she?
Vi is resting today, so her little brother Claggor has to take over Vi's duties.
Right now, standing tall at a whopping 1.9 meters and sporting the same physique as Vander during his youth, Claggor is in the streets wearing the uniform of a Zaun Enforcer, looking quite intimidating.
He is also the most formidable fighter in the small group besides Vi, easily capable of taking on ten Mylos now.
Carrying a massive Hextech greatsword on his back, Claggor is on patrol.
Then he spots someone running swiftly.
Two blue braids dance in the air as the girl runs quickly.
"Powder!"
Seeing Powder, Claggor quickly greets his little sister, shouting from a distance, "Where are you going? Slow down!"
"Hey, Claggor?"
Powder doesn't stop, but she turns around, running backward, waving her hand. Her face is bright red, and she smiles.
"I have something to do, Claggor, so I won't stop and chat with you!"
Powder has a good relationship with both Claggor and Mylo.
Unlike Mylo, who always bullies her verbally but has a good relationship in reality, Claggor is exceptionally gentle. In Powder's eyes, her brother is like a simple and honest big bear. However, when necessary, he can turn into a fierce beast, protecting Powder.
So Powder likes him a lot.
And to Claggor, Powder doesn't behave rudely like she does to Mylo. She just smiles and says, "I have to go first!"
In theory, Powder shouldn't do this.
But Claggor can only shout loudly, "You better watch the road, Powder!"
"Okay, okay, I know!"
Powder turns around after saying this and runs ahead again.
She's extremely excited at the moment!
————————
Running from the White Dove Tavern to the Council Center in Zaun, the former location of the Last Drop Tavern, is not actually far.
Powder only took about ten minutes to run there.
As Vi's younger sister, with her sister's extraordinary physical qualities, Powder's own physical condition is certainly not inferior.
Powder steps into the door and proceeds inside.
Along the way, a staff member notices Powder and tries to stop her, saying, "Hey, you can't....."
But before the staff member can finish, someone next to him grabs him.
"Shut up!"
"Why? Mr.Vander and Mr.Silco are having a meeting right now! It's you who told me that Mr.Silco hates being interrupted during meetings!"
"That's true, but she's different. She can go in."
This Zaunite, originally following Silco, looks at Powder's figure and explains, "She's Powder."
"The one who drew graffiti on Silco's cup and also drew on Silco's face while he was napping? That Powder?"
"Yes, it's her, Vander's daughter."
"."
The two glance at each other and simultaneously shrug.
Powder, ah, she is the most favored girl in Zaun.
In Zaun's political center, perhaps some people haven't seen Powder, but they have definitely heard her stories.
If they didn't know Vander was Powder's father, many would think that Silco was Powder's father.
——————————
"Whoo..."
"Mm, um, maybe I should wait."
"I need to think this through."
At the gate, Powder, who was so excited just now, suddenly stops.
She stands outside the closed gate, lowering her head.
The idea of kicking open the gate and appearing in front of Linwin has disappeared.
After all, when it comes down to it, Powder suddenly feels a bit timid. She really, really wants to see Linwin.
But, but, so many years have passed, her hair has grown so long, is Linwin still the Linwin she knows? Has he changed in any way?
Walking back and forth outside the gate, Powder touches her chin, lost in thought.
"Hey, Linwin, it's me, I'm Powder!"
"Didn't expect it, right? I've grown up now. Am I super beautiful?"
"Uh, this won't do. This will seem too narcissistic."
The initial plan of meeting face to face is vetoed by Powder.
"Linwin!"
Outside the gate, Powder makes a hugging gesture and then lifts her head. "You're finally back, I missed you so much."
Before finishing her sentence, Powder lets go of her hands, hugs her arms, and shivers.
"No, no, no. I can't do it."
"I really want to hug him."
But, after not seeing each other for so long, doing such a thing feels extremely embarrassing!
Clearly, she used to just pounce on Linwin and then put her arms around his neck.
Now she can't even give a hug?
"Mm!"
Her fingers hurt from biting, and various plans come to mind.
————————
Powder suddenly realizes something.
That is... she might not be as brave as she imagined?
But the desire to see Linwin is unquestionable.
She really misses him.
So, after nearly a hundred rounds of internal struggle, Powder finally gathers the courage.
Unbeknownst to her, she's been standing outside the gate for over half an hour!
Taking a deep breath, Powder places her hands on the door.
Then, with a strong push, she opens the door.
"This matter doesn't need further discussion. I've said it countless times. Ordinary people and middle-class families in Piltover are never our enemies; they are our compatriots. Our real enemy is only one – the major families that control Piltover. Whether we drive them away or kill them, in any case, I don't want to hear you talk about an all-out war against Piltover again."
"Zaun will take action, but we need to choose the right direction, slap the right people. Before, I would definitely disagree with Linwin's idea, but now, I support Linwin's idea. Going into an all-out war with Piltover, we may not necessarily win. In fact, I prefer to maintain the current situation, but I deeply understand that it's impossible."
"Silco, you've changed quite a bit."
"Take a look at yourself now, then talk to me about that."
The door is slowly pushed open, and Powder hears voices from inside.
Powder hears Linwin's voice.
She feels her heart beating faster.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Damn it, it's like when she's crafting little rockets.
She thinks her heart is like a little rocket ready to launch.
Then the door is fully opened.
Everyone's gaze, Vander, Silco, all turn towards the door, with a hint of disapproval.
But when they see a little head peeking in from the door, eyes filled with a bit of timidity.
————————
"Hey."
Powder greets everyone.
Then, Powder sees him.
He has changed a lot, standing there just a bit shorter than Vander.
Clearly, Vander used to tower over him!
The handsome young man with black hair looks at her face in astonishment and blurts out, "Jinx..."
"No, Powder?"
Powder excitedly nods.
Yes, it's me!
It's Powder!
Next, Powder notices someone standing behind Linwin.
Closely following Linwin.
It's an incredibly beautiful woman.
Powder: "?"
Who is she?
