You, Hiemerdinger and Ekko were currently crawling through the vents of Hiemerdinger's laboratory. Hiemerdinger seemed to enjoy sneaking around and was acting like a spy. You chuckle at his behavior.

"Don't you.. Essentially own this place?" Ekko smiled at his antics.

To which Hiemerdinger kept sneaking until they reached a corner and he exclaimed very proudly:

"The brambleback has left the jungle!"

Ekko smiled and just followed after him.. They eventually crawled up so they reached the entrance..

And had a Hex-Tech weapon pointed right in your faces.

After some explaining, You learnt the man's name was Jayce. He was one of Hiemerdinger's old pupils.. Ekko and Jayce silently judged each other.

"Hm."

"Hm."
