The next day, Piltover Parliament Building, top floor parliament hall.

When Mel walked into the parliament hall with her elegant steps, she could clearly feel that this regular meeting was different from the past.

In the past, as the legitimate daughter of the Myrdalda family, she could always gain everyone's respect, kindness, and even flattery when she appeared.

As for the several members of parliament who had arrived, except for Professor Heimerdinger and Mrs. Gila Mann who greeted her politely, the rest of them were staring at her with subtle and complicated looks.

In particular, they noticed that next to her bun decorated with gorgeous gold ornaments, there was a blue bird standing quietly on her shoulder.

The protection of the blue bird and the blessing of Janna have always been the symbol of Levi, the chosen one.

And now, Mel appears in such a public manner?

The atmosphere became increasingly subtle.

In addition to everyone's attitude, a bigger difference is that this time the regular meeting was attended by not only the seven permanent members of the Supreme Council, but also by many representatives of major business families who were not non-permanent members.

There are 20 of them in total.

Among them was Mel's old acquaintance, Piltover's most dazzling scientific star, Jess Tallis.

He was standing next to Heimerdinger, chatting with his teacher.

Seeing Mel entering the parliament hall, everyone kept a distance from her with subtle expressions. Only Jess was enthusiastic when he saw her and waved to her cheerfully:

"Congressman Meyer, you are here."

"Jace." Mel also walked towards him with a smile: "I have told you so many times, you can just call me Mel."

She shook hands with Jace as usual, and then asked casually: "I thought, Jace, you were not interested in politics. Why did you suddenly become interested and come to the parliament to observe?"

"Oh, I didn't come here on my own." Jess replied without hesitation: "It was Mrs. Camille of the Philos family who sent me an invitation and invited me to attend this regular meeting."

"Sure enough." Mel knew it well.

As expected, these representatives of the big Piltover families were all invited by Camille.

After all, the Supreme Council only has 7 seats in total, and among the seven permanent members, she, Heimerdinger, and Gila Mann are all the Leader's sympathizers, collaborators, and even their own people.

Three of the seven votes were from the natural pro-Jana faction, so there was almost no suspense about the outcome of the vote.

So Camille invited 20 of Piltover's most powerful family representatives to dilute the leader's votes.

This is actually illegal.

After all, these representatives of large families are not permanent members. In theory, they are only qualified to observe and do not have the right to vote.

But as Heimerdinger learned, titles never give people power; people give them meaning.

Piltover is the Piltover of plutocrats.

Without the unanimous approval of more than 20 representatives of the big families, including the permanent members, even if Mel pushed the Piltover Council to make a decision, the decision would not be implemented at all. It is just a piece of waste paper.

"Well, Jess." Mel worriedly looked at Jess's thick eyebrows, big eyes, honest face, which was very different from other family representatives: "You know the reason why Mrs. Camille invited you here this time is...

Discussing something?"

"Well, this." Jace really didn't understand anything: "It seems like we are going to discuss the matter of the leader inciting riots and trampling on human rights in Zaun a few days ago, right?"

Mel raised an eyebrow: "Trampling on human rights? Jess, do you really believe this?"

"That's what the Piltover Daily said. I also know the author of the article. He is a knowledgeable and moral writer, and a freelance writer with a very good attitude." Jess is quite cool.

Confuse:

“How could such a highly respected public intellectual still tell lies?”

Mel was silent for a while, just staring at Jace.

"What's wrong?" Jace felt that she was looking at him a little strangely.

"It's nothing." Mel smiled happily: "You are so cute, Jess."

Jess: "???"

Somehow, he felt as if Mel was trying to squeeze him out.

But Mel really didn't.

To be able to make a fortune all the way to sit in this parliament hall, and still maintain such a simple mind, in her opinion, Jace is really a very cute baby.

"So, Jace." Mel asked again: "What do you think of the Wind Leader?"

It’s hard for Jess to answer this question.

He was very repelled by the Wind Leader at first, because his friend Victor changed from normal after joining the Wind Leader and became a "dangerous element" obsessed with weaponizing Hex technology.

This was completely contrary to his and Heimerdinger's ideas, so Jace gradually distanced himself from Victor and the Wind Leader.

But later, Jace noticed the amazing changes that had taken place in the Zaun community, and began to unknowingly develop a fondness for the leader.

But later, now.

"The Windleader Association committed such cruel atrocities in Zaun, ignored business rules, plundered our Lady Piltover's important investment in Zaun without any spirit of contract, violated our sacred private property, and refused to

Not returned”

"There is no doubt that they are not much different from Silko. They are both thug organizations that may undermine the social stability of the Twin Cities."

"Wait a minute." Mel frowned slightly: "Jace, did you also invest in Takeda Saito?"

"No." Of course, Jace had nothing to do with that scumbag, and he didn't know about the dirty underground dealings between Takeda and Piltover.

"Then you still say that?" Someone really had a cow taken away, and that's why he was crying out in pain. Why are you complaining too?

"That's what everyone told me." Jace pointed to the family representatives next to him.

"." Mel stroked his forehead helplessly.

Jess's social activities in the past few years have really been in vain. Apart from drinking tea and chatting with her and developing personal friendships, the rest of the time is spent being surrounded by smart people from major families and spinning around like a top.

"Since you think the Wind Leader Association is a thug, how are you going to deal with them?" Mel asked in a subtle tone, "Are you going to start a war?"

Jess was speechless for a moment.

He was just disgusted with the leader and never thought about starting a war.

Not to mention that the war itself is cruel, he hates it. Even for Victor, he can't give this answer.

Naturally, what Mel wanted was not the opinion of this great scientist whose intelligence was 100 and politics was 20, and his ability was seriously partial to science.

She turned her head and slowly scanned the entire audience with a disdainful gaze:

"What do you think?"

When Mel just spoke to Jess, she didn't deliberately lower her voice.

She knew that she was the central character in this meeting, and everyone was quietly paying attention to the conversation between her and Jess.

She also knew that the opinions Jace had just expressed were instilled in him by these people, and were the opinions of the Piltover plutocrats.

So Mel went straight to the point and asked these people: "What are you going to do?"

"To fight or not to fight?"

Everyone was shocked by her firm attitude that was different from the past.

Coupled with the power of the Midarda family and the inherent hesitation in their hearts, for a while, no one dared to come forward to answer this question.

But at this moment, there was a crisp and regular sound of footsteps at the door of the parliament hall.

That was no ordinary footsteps, but the sound of the crisp collision of steel and marble.

Ta, da, da, da

Finally, that person appeared.

The chief spy of the Philos family, Qinggangying Camille, stepped into the parliament hall under the gaze of everyone.

Her youthful face that has remained unchanged for decades, her cold eyes glowing with blue magical light, and her elegant figure transformed by Hex machinery are all clearly presented to everyone.

"Congressman Mel." Camille's voice was calm and calm, like an absolutely precise machine.

"My opinion is - start a war." She answered Mel's question.

"Yes, yes." With Gray Lady taking the lead, the representatives of the big families who had long been dissatisfied with the leader became agitated:

"We kindly tolerated the development of the Windleader Association, but they quietly killed our partners in Zaun, and even swallowed up our assets in Zaun."

"If we can even tolerate this, then if they get involved with the Zaun people in the future, they will be in trouble?"

"Mrs. Camille is right, we must teach them a lesson this time!"

The crowd was excited.

Jess looked at Mel for a while, and then at his group of distinguished friends. For a moment, his head was extremely big, and he was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Gila Mann finally couldn't help but speak to cool down the atmosphere:

"I think everyone should calm down."

Someone interrupted her without shame: "Mrs. Gila Mann, your daughter Caitlin is now a senior executive of Leader, and your family is doing business in partnership with Leader, making a lot of money. You
