Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 120 98. Difficult

"Ha, three hundred thousand euros a month?! Carl, you said you had no relationship with the eldest lady of the Arasaka family!"

The next day, after learning about the content and matters related to Carl's signing of the contract, Oliver slapped the steering wheel of the Sky Hera hard, unwilling to believe that Carl was actually favored by a rich woman.

I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brother will be with a rich woman, but it is not to that extent, but
"Karl, you're not going to be kept by someone and won't be a mercenary with us anymore, right?"

This is what Oliver is really worried about.

"What maintenance? Don't talk nonsense. It's a serious contract signing and a serious bodyguard job. This kind of work will only be done at critical moments. Of course, it's just a part-time job. Besides, I feel that I may not be used normally. I may be used as an emergency measure in certain situations."

Carl said, having a thorough understanding of this contract.

“It does look like it.”

Jack, who was not as emotional as Oliver, nodded: "After what happened last time, he probably wanted to spend some money as a precaution."

After hearing what Jack said, Oliver put away his funny look and began to analyze Carl seriously:
"Not only does she have bodyguards protecting her on the surface, but she also has street mercenaries as backup in private. The eldest lady of the Arasaka family seems to be very scared after what happened last time. But under normal circumstances, with the protection of Arasaka's group of company dogs, it's not your turn to execute this kind of things, right?"

"That's true. Ordinary people can't really break through Arasaka's security and attack her. But in other words, if something really happens that requires me to be called over urgently, then it's very likely..."

"At the very least, are they all opponents of the same caliber as ACPA?"

Oliver put his hands flat on the steering wheel: "This money is not easy to take."

"Look at it in a positive light. Generally, no one would think of attacking the Arasaka family. Moreover, even if they did, they would at least have to break through the protection of the Arasaka security personnel. The probability of such a thing really happening is too small. According to the normal probability, I basically get 300,000 yuan a month for free."

This was considered a somewhat optimistic view for Carl. Oliver originally wanted to say that the attack had just happened last month, but before he said it, he felt that it was too unlucky, so after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Jack finally said this:
"If you need to, don't face it alone."

"I know. I'm not stupid. If there's any danger, I'll definitely ask you to go with me."

Just as Carl answered with a smile and sat on the Sky Hera, Jack's prosthetic eye flashed and he made a communication.

Then, Jack's expression changed, revealing a somewhat complicated look, which was rarely seen on Jack's face. Naturally, it attracted the attention of Oliver and Carl who were sitting in the car, but before they could ask, Jack had already told them what happened.

"My ex-girlfriend Camilla has something to ask me."

After saying this, Oliver and Carl were silent.

Camilla, at the party, the drunk Jack talked about something related to her.

She was another childhood sweetheart who joined the Valentino Gang with Jack. Compared to Jack, who later quit the Valentino Gang due to some things, Camilla, who has always stayed in the Valentino Gang, is now considered a senior member of the Valentino Gang.

Camilla is obviously quite capable to have reached the top of the Valentino gang, which has 6,000 members, at the age of 28, but now she has turned to Jack for help.
Did something big happen in the Valentino gang?

Although Jack and Oliver have both quit the gang, they are still somewhat tied to it. If something big happened in the gang and involved someone they cared about, there is no way they would not help.

For example, Mrs. Wells has a background in the Valentino Gang, and there is also Oliver's sister and father who are in the Sixth Street Gang.

The ex-girlfriend is also my childhood sweetheart, and there is some unforgettable friendship between them after all.

"Jack, what happened? If it's serious, I'll take today off."

Carl's words made Jack shake his head. "Don't think about skipping school, Carl. It's nothing."

Jack, who had read the entire message and understood the general situation, smiled and told Carl and Oliver, who were looking over with concern, to be more at ease. "She just wanted me to look after the place. The people at the Li Scenic Area are too busy, so they're in need of someone they can trust for the time being."

Jack glanced at Oliver: "A conflict with the Six Street Gang."

“That place in Lijing District”

When Jack said this, Oliver understood immediately.

That piece of land was the most fiercely contested area between the Six Street Gang and the Valentino Gang. Although the Lijing District was generally poor and not very profitable, there were always people willing to start a dispute over these scraps.

"As for what's going on there, I'll go with you after I send Karl to school. If the person who comes is someone I know, I'll see if I can persuade him."

"It's impossible to persuade him, Oliver."

Jack did not refuse Oliver's suggestion, which was obviously well-intentioned, but he was not optimistic about the so-called persuasion.

Oliver was kicked out of the gang after only one week of joining it. Even if he grew up in a gang family environment, how many current members of the Sixth Street Gang could he know? Oliver couldn't even go back to Santo Domingo. He relied on his identity as a former member of the Sixth Street Gang to persuade those high-ranking members of the Sixth Street Gang. Jack didn't see how it would work.

"It's okay as long as it's not a big deal."

Carl returned to his limp state of going to school, but regarding Jack's plan to help his ex-girlfriend Camilla, Carl still mentioned an important point:
"It's just that you went to help your ex-girlfriend, and you passed a communication. What if Misty knew about it?"

When he said this, Jack's body froze a little. Oliver, who hadn't expected this, suddenly realized what was going on and started looking at Jack with a look that said, "You're doomed."

"It shouldn't be that serious if we're just going to watch the show for a day."

Jack forced a smile and said, "Besides, I'm not going to do anything bad. I'm paid for it, just like a commission. And as long as you and Oliver don't tell anyone, no one will know."

"really?"

Carl was skeptical.

Even if he helped Jack conceal it, with Misty's tarot divination that was unusually accurate for some reason even though business was obviously not going well, would she really not be able to predict anything?

Carl always felt that Jack was going to suffer.

　ps. Today I replayed V's three origins, and then I saw an interesting point in the company dog ​​line. Let me briefly explain it. Abernathy is the special operations director that V's boss wants V to find a way to get rid of. In the information given by the boss, there is some of her bank card information, and the euros in it are:

　　Night City Credit Union: 8343.1 Euros

　　Marmo Bank: 5023031.3 euros

　　Matterhorn Swiss Bank: 2543432.5 euros

　　The total amount is 7,574,806.9 euros.

　　This is the money of a director. Then let's look at the deposit of Company V, whose office is a two-person office instead of a five- or six-person office for ordinary employees. Another colleague also has to ask for his signature. His status should have reached the level of section chief or department head.

　　121994 euros, plus the 45800 euros in cash given by the boss, totals to 167794 euros, or nearly euros, which is about times the difference between the money in some of Abernathy's bank cards. If V didn't save much money, then I can only say that there is a gap between the company dogs.
