Chapter 123 101. Three-party powder keg

"Six Street Gang, why are they here?"

David looked out the window at the main gathering place of the Sixth Street Gang and found that most of them were standing in front of the bar opposite the restaurant.

The target is that bar, was this place just occupied incidentally?
After thinking about it, David turned around and glanced at his mother sitting in front of him, and found that his mother looked quite nervous and frightened.

Mom, I'm afraid, why?
Yes, you should be afraid.

Only then did David react in a daze and realize that his concept had changed a little.

In the past, if I saw the Sixth Street Gang with guns in front of me, I would probably react like my mother, with fear on my face, wondering when the NCPD would come. But now.
David was surprised to find that he had not much fear in his heart for the Sixth Street Gang members who started walking around the store with guns.

No. It was not just fear. When I saw their postures and movements with the guns, I was actually wondering how long it would take them to raise their guns, and whether they would be able to react if I drew my gun.

Why do I have such thoughts? What's wrong with me?
Is it because of the teachings of Carl, Jack, and Oliver? Is it because they said that the teachings were enough for dealing with ordinary street thugs?
David, I feel a little bold.

When facing official gang members, he actually had the courage to treat them equally.

"Mom, it's okay."

David comforted his mother: "It has nothing to do with us."

Gloria looked at David with a calm face and found it hard to imagine the maturity her son had shown.

That kind of confidence and maturity was something Gloria had never seen in her son.

“David.”

"Don't worry, mom."

David's hand quietly touched Kenshin under his clothes at the waist.

"I will protect you."

David already has the courage and strength to protect his family.

There were six people from the Six Street Gang who entered the store. Two of them were checking the kitchen while chatting with the owner. The remaining four were standing at the four corners of the store in a state of alert. Judging from their actions, they were probably thinking that if a fight broke out in the bar opposite, they could quickly occupy the restaurant and use it as a position to shoot at the opposite side.

One only needs to look at the arrangements of the Six Street Gang to understand why they were able to occupy Saint-Domingo with only 2,300 men and even reach out to Heywood. They are elite personnel and are extraordinary.

In terms of the overall quality of street personnel, other gangs may not be as good as the Sixth Street Gang, whose main members are former military personnel.

A member of the Sixth Street Gang was standing in the corner when he noticed the guests who were eating at the table next to the corner. He stared at the other person with his head down, and only the back of his head could be seen. He looked quite timid, and after his eyes swept over the other person's black hair, he no longer cared.

"It seems that he is just an ordinary guest having dinner. As long as he does not disturb things, he can stay away."

Holding the Ajax assault rifle, the Sixth Street Gang member stood in the corner of the restaurant. [Military Technology M 251 S Ajax]: The assault rifle of choice for soldiers around the world, a durable and reliable weapon.

While standing in this corner, this member of the Sixth Street Gang was looking out the window at the situation in the bar opposite.

The guys from the Valentino gang opened a bar right on the 'default' border between the two factions. This was definitely a provocation, and no one knew what would happen in the end.

If there is a war to be started.
Thinking of that possibility, the Sixth Street Gang member felt his hand holding the gun go a little stiff.

The Valentino Gang is the gang with the largest number of members in Night City. If we officially go to war with them, it will undoubtedly be a tough battle. Will I really be able to survive?

Except for the conversation between the owner and the Sixth Street Gang members, the store was quite quiet. The only customers were silent. Faced with the conflict between gangs, they did not dare to get involved at all.

The silence did not last long, because after the Sixth Street Gang surrounded the bar across from the restaurant, a group of Valentino Gang members arrived shortly afterwards.

'Is a gunfight going to happen?'

Looking at the members of the Valentino Gang and the Six Street Gang confronting each other on both sides of the street, David had a very ominous premonition. He and his mother were next to the glass window of this restaurant. If they exchanged fire and stray bullets flew in, the glass window would not be able to protect them at all.

In this tense street confrontation where shooting could take place at any time, a third group of forces arrived driving all kinds of strange-shaped motorcycles.

'Even the Tiger Claws are here'

Li Scenic Area is the intersection of the Valentino Gang, the Tiger Claw Gang and the Six Street Gang. Now that the Valentino Gang and the Six Street Gang are about to clash, there is really no reason for the Tiger Claw Gang not to come and take a look. Maybe this is the opportunity for the Tiger Claw Gang to extend its hands into the Li Scenic Area.

The Tiger Claw Gang members attracted the attention of both parties after their arrival. Apparently, the Valentino Gang and the Six Street Gang both wanted to exclude this third party that had rashly inserted itself into the place. It was enough to have two gangs like them in this place, and there was no need for another one.

But the situation changed after a negotiation officer from the Tiger Claw Gang had a few words with someone from the Valentino Gang.

After receiving a nod from the Valentino Gang member, the Tiger Claw Gang members joined the Valentino Gang and pointed their weapons at the Sixth Street Gang.

This time, the situation was reversed.

David was in the store and couldn't hear their conversation clearly, but he could guess what was going on. It was nothing more than that the Tiger Claw Gang and the Valentino Gang had reached some temporary agreement and were preparing to make the Six Street Gang suffer.

It's very much like the company behind the Tiger Claw Gang and the Six Street Gang. As long as they can disgust Military Technology, Arasaka is willing to help with anything, just like as long as they can disgust Arasaka, Military Technology is willing to help with anything.

Originally, there were only more than ten people from the Valentino Gang who arrived, while there were more than twenty people from the Sixth Street Gang. The Valentino Gang was at a disadvantage so they were still maintaining a standoff, but now with the addition of the Tiger Claw Gang, the people from the Valentino Gang and the Sixth Street Gang on the opposite side are just about evenly matched.

Seeing the Valentino Gang and Tiger Claw Gang members gradually approaching, every Six Street Gang member in the store clenched their weapons. If things went as expected, the exchange of fire would only be a spark away.

"Bah."

A gunshot from an unknown source ignited this powder keg.
