The Virtuoso
PiltOver, Shurima continent
Inside an office of a mansion, two figures could be seen sitting across from each other. One is the fame councilor of PiltOver, and the other is a hooded figure with a smiling mask.
"You got the goods?" a heavy voice came from behind the mask. His murderous aura engulfed the room, making the robotic-looking councilor, BolBok paled, sweat-drenched his back.
"Ye....yes... sir...I..have..it." Bolbok stammered, although he had experienced battles and dealt with many underground activities. The aura of this person in front made his knees weak, like a lamb staring at a hungry lion.
With haste, BolBok reaches under his desk, taking out a briefcase.
Seeing the briefcase, the murderous aura from the masked figure receded, like a tide.
'Phew' BolBok breathes a sigh of relief. He can breathe normally again.
"The items that you requested are inside, Sir. Virtuoso." BolBok turns the briefcase around, facing the other person, and opens the lock.
*swoosh* Once opened, frigid air rushed out from the case, revealing two pieces of equipment. One is a short-looking handgun; the other is a long sniper gun.
Seeing the two masterpieces, the masked figure nods with satisfaction.
"These are the two modification weapons that you requested. They are imbued with our newest magic-breakthrough technology, Hex-Tech!" BolBok said, with his head held high. Hex-tech is PiltOver's invention, even if he had no part in creating the technology.
"Who else knows about this?" The masked figure ignored his remarks and asked.
Seeing that he was being ignored, BolBok felt embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down.
"There are three other scientists who help me create these weapons, but rest assured, they had been taken care of." He nonchalky said, his tone sounded as if the lives of the three scientists were ants and could be easily disposed of.
"Hehe, but you are still alive and well, I wonder..." The person said, his aura leaks out and he gazes at BolBok, like a predator.
*Gulp*
"Sir....pl..please..I...did...what you asked for. Please spare my life.." Bolbok perspires under the other murderous intent, begging for mercy.
Seeing that his plan works, the figure receded his aura and spoke.
"Mhm. You are still of use; I will spare you of your dirty life this time. Now tell me what it is that you requested of me?"
"*Phew* Ah yes, there's a troublesome individual that might threaten our future plans, I kindly ask you sir to get rid of him in a battle 3 months from now," Bolbok said with a solemn expression. The appearance of Jayce is truly unexpected for him, he never would have thought that the small kid is such a pain in the ass, now that he joined the League, BolBok couldn't carelessly touch the boy.
"Why three months from now, I can just kill him right now?" The masked figure asked.
"because *sigh* He joined the League."
*shing* Hearing the response, the eye of the figure shone with a glimmer, his thoughts are unknown.
"I see..."
"You can get out now." The masked person said.
Even though it's his mansion, he didn't dare to delay and ran out of the room. Who is he kidding? Does he dare to complain? NO!
After several seconds, the figure then stood up and walk toward a Piano within the room.
* ♩♪♫♬♫* Fingers flew across the piano; melodies rang throughout the room.
"Hmmmhmmmh hhmmmphhh." He hummed along with the tune.
"The League huh? Hehehe; One day, they will understand my genius-eventually"
….
Grand Cayon, shurima's desert.
"OWWWW! I SAID SORRY ALREADY, STOP!" Jayce exclaimed as he opened the doors to the mansion. On his back is the wild lioness, Caitlyn. With his high defense stat, this amount of pain wouldn't even itch him, but if he wants to tame this wild lioness, he has to play along.
"HMMPH! YOU DARED TO GROPE MY THIGHS!? YOU PERVERT!" With a flushed face, Caitlyn continued to yank his hair.
"Now, now, what is this commotion, guys?" A wild Ximena appeared. She was preparing a big feast but heard the commotion coming from the front door.
Seeing her figure, the two pairs of eyes lit up, as if seeing their savior.
"Mom, he-…" Before Jayce could say anything, he was mercilessly pushed away by Caitlyn, who ran toward Ximena with a pitiful expression.
"WAHHHH! *sobs* Mrs. Talis, Jayce bullied me!" She said and hid behind Ximena, showing a scared expression toward Jayce.
"Aww, honey, come here..." Ximena knelt and hugged the pitiful Caitlyn, she quickly turns her head and glares at her son.
"Jayce, what's wrong with you!? Why is a boy like you bullying a little girl?" Looking at the scared Caitlyn, her maternal instinct kicked in, she has truly treated Caitlyn like her own daughter, how could she tolerate her daughter being bullied!?
Hearing his mother, Jayce was flabbergasted!
'Even my own mother...' He really wants to cry of grievance!
"I said I was sorry..." He shrugs, he can't argue with his mother now, can he? So, like a wise man once said, women are always right!
*Rustles* The front doors opened. The figures of Poppy, Soraka, Ezreal could be seen, followed by... Orianna?
"Well, well, well, did I miss a party here?" Poppy said, originally, they were supposed to train the kids like usual, but Orianna called them, saying it was an emergency, so they left the kids to their own devices.
"Hey guys, welcome back!" Ximena greets them, even the actress, Caitlyn, stopped her crocodile's tears, straightens her body, and bowed toward them.
"Oh, we seem to have a visitor. Hello Ms. Orianna, welcome!" Ximena greets Orianna. She has mixed feelings toward this robotic woman, on one hand, she saved her son from the councilors, but she also puts her child into a battle! That might even risk his life! That's why it's awkward for her to be meeting with Orianna.
"Hello Mrs. Talis, I heard a lot of things about you. It's great for me to see the mother of the chosen one." Orianna robotically said and performed a posing bow. Then she turned toward Jayce and spoke
"Jayce, we need to talk."
"Your opponent has been chosen."
