Within Durin's line of sight, the figure of a tall, red-haired woman staggered closer.
Janet?
She looked quite disheveled, with multiple marks of severe damage on her body, and her right acromion was completely empty, with her mechanical arm nowhere to be found.
However, Janet's left hand firmly clutched a parchment scroll tied with a rope, and from Durin's perspective, he could see the Spencer Family's emblem on the back of the scroll.
Durin was immediately overjoyed; he hadn't expected Janet to actually retrieve the weapon blueprint from the Chem-Baron. He had been ready to leave Zaun immediately once the time was up, not lingering at all.
Anyway, his objective with Powder had been achieved. If Janet failed, he would just pretend he hadn't accepted this mission and find other ways to make money.
But now it seemed that, although Janet's trip hadn't been very smooth, she had still obtained what he wanted.
It looked like those 100 silver lun coins were definitely his!
Thinking of this, Durin's mood brightened considerably.
He carried the organ cryo-suitcase in his hand, walked over to Janet, and said with a smile, "It seems you didn't deceive me."
His gaze met Janet's, and he could clearly sense that her eyes at the moment were like… a wounded lone wolf?
No!
To be precise, it was a wounded stray dog that trusted no one.
There's a difference between a stray dog and a lone wolf. A lone wolf, pushed to the brink, will fight back, determined to bring its enemy down with it or severely injure them.
No matter how fierce a stray dog is, one brick or one shovel will directly reboot its brain, send it to meet its great-grandmother, and let it be reborn as a dog.
"You promised me, I give you the blueprint, and you return my organ," Janet said, slightly nervously.
"No problem, after this, we part ways," Durin readily agreed.
Thus, the two parties successfully completed the transaction.
Durin looked at the weapon blueprint made of parchment in his hand, his fingers tracing its thickness of no more than two centimeters. Lifting the bottom right corner, there was indeed a signature.
Hmm… it's real!
As for whether it was a replica, Durin didn't care.
Whether the technology on it had been leaked, he cared even less.
As long as he got the Hextech Longbow weapon design blueprint as per the mission request, that was enough!
This trip to Zaun was extremely fruitful!
After watching Janet quickly leave the area, her silhouette completely disappearing from view, Durin began to pack his things, changed into a new outfit, and then hurriedly left.
He now needed to take a shortcut to return to Piltover as quickly as possible, not lingering in Zaun for a moment. The longer he stayed, the greater the chance of exposing himself!
Durin traversed numerous steel frame sky-bridges and climbing walls, or ran cross-country on rooftops and beams. After more than an hour, he finally returned to Piltover's cable car district.
He had forgotten to ask Wes, the Spencer Family's butler, for his private communication channel last time, making it impossible to contact him now.
So, he decided to find Aqii, the broker on Hundred Wine Street; she would definitely be able to contact Butler Wes.
Due to its unique geographical location, the cable car district was full of cliffs and precipices. Road construction was very backward and difficult to carry out, and the narrow streets were packed with noisy crowds.
Pedestrian and vehicle traffic were all mixed on the narrow streets, whether it was human-powered rickshaws, trams that ran on laid tracks with bells ringing, or human-powered bicycles.
Under the scorching sun, the colliding pedestrians spewed profanities, with all sorts of greetings to each other's parents erupting from their mouths. Fortunately, the Enforcers in blue uniforms forcibly drove them away with rubber batons, preventing fights from breaking out.
Durin was in a bad mood and suddenly decided not to walk as he used to. Instead, he hailed an unoccupied rickshaw, planning to take this human-powered vehicle to Hundred Wine Street.
The rickshaw puller, wearing a short-sleeved cardigan and full of muscle, pulled the rickshaw, casually tossed a towel over his shoulder, and asked with a slight bow and fawning tone, "Sir, where are you planning to go?"
Durin asked, "How much to Hundred Wine Street?"
The puller nodded and said, "Uh, it's a bit far, several kilometers! Sir, how about 7 copper circle coins?"
"Alright." Durin found the price acceptable, as there was indeed some distance from the cable car district to Hundred Wine Street, so he got into the rickshaw.
"Hold on tight, we're off!" The puller shouted, grasping the handlebars and slowly accelerating into a run.
This rickshaw puller was clearly familiar with the road traffic in various districts. He didn't take the narrow two-way two-lane road but instead passed through road barriers into various small alleys, which was a route exclusive to rickshaws.
Because the journey was quite long, Durin began to observe the scenery along the way in Piltover.
