Chapter 279: Jess in Action
Generally speaking, a man like Jace is either very elegant or well-dressed, exuding the aura of a greasy, high-quality man.
There is nothing to say about his appearance. Even the future handsome guy Ezreal is just a little kid in front of Jayce.
Not to mention that the other party is talented at a young age and possesses strong scientific research capabilities.
But unfortunately, Jace now is not as calm as he used to .
Now he looked panic-stricken, giving people the feeling that he was suppressing his fear. His clothes were tattered and he was said to be a beggar, but his appearance had nothing to do with neatness.
The most critical thing is the opponent's fingers. Several of them are obviously stiff and there are obvious signs of frostbite.
Everything else is fine, but the frostbite on the finger must have made the other party panic, like a frightened bird.
"I have no interest in your idea. Although it is painful to reject a woman like you, there is no doubt that I have no interest in the activities of your group of pirates."
Li Ke looked at Miss Good Luck who introduced herself. If he remembered correctly, in the plot, it was this girl in front of him who overthrew Gangplank and became the master of Bilgewater.
So there is no need to say what the other party wants to do by coming to you.
"In fact, my interest in you is definitely not greater than that of the guest on your ship. I am sailing this time just for him."
Li Ke stared at Jace, and the other party looked at him blankly. Jace had no idea who this person named Li Ke was, but he didn't want to know why Li Ke was looking for him.
Now that I have lost my reputation and am disabled, I am no longer of any value.
"Don't underestimate yourself, Jace. I want you to return to that city just because of your talent."
Li Ke stretched out his hand to Jace, but Jace just shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but even if I wanted to go back, the council has banished me forever, so I don't have much choice."
Jayce shook his head and refused. He didn't know Li Ke, so he naturally thought that Li Ke would not be a big shot. He felt that even if such a person had some influence in Piltover, he would definitely not be able to help him.
"Oh? What do you want with this fellow I rescued from the ice?"
Miss Luck looked at Jace in confusion. When she first saw him, he was dragging a cart carrying his mother on a broken surface, trying to find a safe place.
So she sent people to rescue the mother and son.
After knowing Jayce's identity as a so-called scientist and scholar, he wanted to take him back to Bilgewater and let him serve him, to make some artillery for Piltover, or to repair some things in Piltover.
But to her surprise, Li Ke, whom she met by chance and whom she still admired, actually came to find him.
What's different about this kid?
Sister Good Luck thought about the pros and cons. She found Li Ke just for a certain desire in her heart. In this desire, it didn't matter whether Jayce was a scholar from Piltover.
So, without waiting for Li Ke to give any reason, she directly grabbed Jace, and in front of Li Ke's puzzled gaze, she proudly puffed out her chest towards Li Ke.
"But I'm afraid you have to listen to me no matter what you want to do. I'm the captain of this ship, and everything on this ship belongs to me, so... if you want this little fellow to be called Jace, you have to listen to me too."
Her tone became ambiguous and revealed something unclear, which made Li Ke quite confused.
"What's the meaning?"
"Have dinner with me and I'll give him to you, how about that?"
Jace was completely stunned. This brutal pirate... or bounty hunter, had told him that he would take him to work in Bilgewater. He looked at the other party's beautiful face and figure and had some fantasies in his mind.
In addition, he was rescued by the other party when he was at his lowest point, so his gratitude made the relationship even more complicated.
But in the end, the other party used it to make a deal with Li Ke? !
What a waste of his energy.
Li Ke looked at the other person's chest and thought for a while.
"OK!"
Just like that, Li Ke boarded the ship of Miss Good Luck Sarah. The other party also sent their men to board Li Ke's passenger ship. Although they were surprised why Li Ke froze the passenger ship, most people remained silent. Only Jace looked at the statues that were frozen to lifelike and couldn't help asking.
"You did all this?"
He couldn't help but think of the frozen ocean in Bilgewater. His family was asked to leave Piltover, so he had to leave on the sea with his mother in a trailer.
Because of this, my mother fell ill and my fingers were severely frostbitten.
Now looking at the ice sculptures on the ship, especially those wearing ordinary people's clothes, he couldn't help but think of the strange frozen coast.
There is no doubt that some force did it, and...
"That's right. You guessed it right. I was the one who froze the coast of Bilgewater. In fact, if something hadn't happened, you would have been brought back to Piltover by me and lived the life of an inventor again."
Seeing Jace's suspicious look, Li Ke admitted it directly.
He was the one who did it, there was nothing he couldn't say, especially for Jace...
"You mean, magic?"
Jace's face lit up with excitement, but it quickly dimmed.
"Whatever. Your magic caused me to lose a few fingers, and I can't do any research now. I don't know what you asked me to do, but I guess I can't do it ."
He has now lost everything: his reputation, money, status, and his way out.
As for talent?
If he was really talented, why was he kicked out?
"It's actually not as bad as you think. Don't you want to think about why I want to freeze Leather City, and what I can bring to you with this power?"
Li Ke was a little helpless. If he met Jace first, he would definitely take him back without saying a word, and then he could say whatever he wanted.
But the bad thing is that the other person was found by Miss Luck.
Damn Zoe!
Li Ke was a little angry.
"Okay, let's talk about your stuff later. Now it's my turn, right?"
After dealing with the supplies on another ship, Sister Good Luck had no intention of letting that ship go. Instead, she walked to Li Ke and threw a big bag of something that made a crisp sound to Li Ke.
Li Ke took it casually, but was shocked by its weight.
"What's this?"
"Gangplank's bounty."
