Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 122 100. Six Street Gang Takes Over

At 8:44 in the evening, Karl sat in a restaurant in Li Scenic Area.

Open the communication.

Jack, Oliver: It will take us a while to finish this job. You order first and wait for us. We will come when we finish at nine o'clock. Nothing happened today and the people from the Sixth Street Gang didn't come. It went pretty smoothly.

I wonder if Jack ever met his ex-girlfriend.

Starting from the morning when Jack and Oliver took them to school, the two of them had been watching the place for almost twelve hours. They didn't know if the people from the Sixth Street Gang saw them and that was why they didn't dare to cause trouble.

According to the address Jack sent later, the bar they were watching was a new place that had opened on the border of the Sixth Street Gang and the Valentino Gang. As long as they were a little cautious, the people from the Sixth Street Gang would know that this new bar was opened by the Valentino Gang. Since they hadn't organized anyone to cause trouble in twelve hours, they probably agreed.

Do you plan to do anything else afterwards?

Carl didn't know, but anyway, the commission Jack accepted from his ex-girlfriend was just to watch the place for one day, and what happened after that had nothing to do with them.

It was the most difficult day, and Jack and Oliver had helped us get through it. What else could go wrong? It was impossible for someone to come at the last minute.

Carl, who was waving flags like crazy, sat in the corner of the restaurant, looking through the glass window at the bar opposite. Looking inside from the wide open door, he seemed to be able to see Oliver's dazzling blond hair.

Did this bitch rub some messy stuff on her hair?

After placing an electronic order for macaroni with tomato sauce and real water for himself, Carl was reading the menu, thinking about what to order for Oliver and Jack, when the door of the restaurant opened.

"Kaka."

Amid the sound of old glass, a guest that Carl knew walked in.

'David?'

Carl was about to say hello, but stopped halfway when he raised his hand because he noticed that there was someone behind David.

A middle-aged woman with fatigue in her eyes and traces of time left by hard work on her face followed David into the restaurant.

Carl knew this man. He had come across his family information when he opened David's box.

Gloria Martinez, David's mother, is an emergency medical technician at Night City's medical center.

Looking at David, who was constantly saying something to his mother with a look of joy on his face, and then looking at Gloria, who was smiling at David tiredly and responding to him, Carl silently put down his half-raised hand.

The fastest way to get back to Santo Domingo from the city center is to take the Li Scenic Area route. Judging from the situation, David should wait for his mother to get off work, and the two of them plan to have a meal at a restaurant in Li Scenic Area on the way home. It is better for an outsider not to disturb this rare dinner time between mother and son.

Gloria, who usually works until the early morning, will get off work at around eight o'clock today. She must have made an appointment with David.

Carl shrank his body and was glad that he was in the corner. With the help of the seat back, David hadn't seen him yet. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would definitely pull him to eat with him.

As a street hustler, it’s better not to get to know people who do serious work. I’m not wearing an Arasaka uniform now, and I don’t have Gaius’ face. If they really meet, Mrs. Gloria might think that her child has been led astray.

If Carl and David were not friends, he would certainly not care about this, but as friends, he could not help but consider David.

David's mother expected her son to become an employee of Arasaka Corporation and protected him so well. She certainly didn't want him to get involved too much with people on the street. At this time, a mercenary dressed in street clothes greeted and talked to David enthusiastically. As a mother, could she feel at ease?

Fortunately, David didn't notice Carl.

After looking around the restaurant, he took his mother to sit next to a seat near the window, which was exactly in front of and behind Carl's seat.

This is one of the best spots in the store to see. David did learn a lot from Carl and the others. 'It will take some time for Oliver and Jack to come over. David and his mother should be able to finish their meal by then. If not, ask them not to come over for the time being.'

As Carl was mumbling in his heart, David and his mother began to order.

"I'll just have some macaroni with tomato sauce. What do you want to eat, mom?"

After David ordered the same food as Carl, he looked at his mother.

"my words"

After hesitating for a long time, Gloria also ordered a plate of macaroni with tomato sauce.

Carl, who was listening to them talking, flipped through the menu and found that macaroni with tomato sauce was the cheapest food in the restaurant.

In the decent restaurants in Li Scenic Area, the price is only three euros. Li Scenic Area is indeed a poor place.

Carl, who basically doesn't care much about prices when placing orders now, except for a quick glance at the three-digit numbers, didn't really pay attention to the prices on the menu.

While waiting for the meal to be served, Gloria talked to David about the sudden transfer of money he made to her today.

"David, how did you get so much money? Five thousand euros. You're not going to do anything bad, are you?"

"No, mom, I'm just selling Mewtwo in the academy. Real Mewtwo, you know I used to help a cyborg doctor I know sell Mewtwo, I just made more money recently because the sales have been good. Don't worry, it's not against the rules to sell regular Mewtwo. What do you think I'm looking at at home all the time? I'm just checking out the goods."

"Can you make so much money by selling Chaomeng?"

"Of course, no one else in the academy can buy it, so I have to bring it."

"Will this affect your studies?"

"No, don't worry, I was just selling during the break. I was always listening carefully in class."

"Is this so"

Seeing that his mother was still a little worried, David acted as if it was nothing. "Don't worry, there will be another monthly test this week. Just keep an eye on me then. I promise I can be in the top ten in the school."

"As long as it doesn't affect your grades."

"It definitely won't affect me. By the way, mom, since I can already make so much money, you don't have to work so hard in the future. Just get off work at this time. I think I can take care of my own tuition. You see, I'm already this old, and it's time for me to take care of myself."

Gloria shook her head at David's words:
"It's great that you can make money, and I'm happy too, but there may be many more places to spend in the future. For example, if you are admitted to a university, there may be extra expenses. How can you stop working hard just because you have made temporary money now? There will be many places to spend money in the future."

“There will be scholarships at university.”

Just as David said this, the door of the restaurant was kicked open, and then several people wearing entropy clothing with the Six Street Gang logo tattooed on their clothes walked into the restaurant with guns.

[Entropyism]: One of the main styles of clothing in Night City, it emphasizes practicality over appearance. The Six Street Gang and some street mercenaries are very fond of this type of clothing.

"Prepare some food. We, the Sixth Street Gang, have taken over this restaurant."

Hearing this sound, David looked out the window and found that without his knowledge, more than 20 members of the Sixth Street Gang had come outside and occupied the street.
