Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 156 15. Chance Encounter
"Next time you need work in the Badlands, you can come to us again."

"Yes, see you next time."

After waving goodbye to V and the others who were leaving with a bunch of miscellaneous equipment, Carl and the other two returned to Night City from the Santo Domingo district with their employer.

Overall, I gained a lot from the short one-day trip to the Badlands.

I got to know V and a new middleman, it was quite profitable.

As the vehicle passed through the streets of Santo Domingo, Carl started talking to T-BUG, whose network had been restored. "This trip is a done deal. All that's left is to deliver the target to the employer. Are you interested in having a drink offline? We haven't even met in real life."

"Next time. I'm still dealing with some follow-up tracking issues. Not long after you rescued the target, some people from Militech began looking for the target's biological signals. They seemed to have something to do with the target. I'm shielding them."

"The target was fired by the Militech guys."

Carl recalled Blanca's words and said, "It should be the cleanup team from Military Technology, preparing to eliminate the target. But this is none of our business. After the target is delivered, the order will be settled. His life or death will have nothing to do with us. There is no need to block it specially, just cover it up a little. Those people from Military Technology are not stupid. After they find out that we are carrying out the mission, they will understand the rules."

"Okay, I've sent out a jamming signal. They'll probably be tracking the wrong signal for a while. Is half an hour enough?"

"That's enough. Trust my driving skills."

Oliver said this in the team channel and stepped on the accelerator.

“I grew up on this street.”

"I've been racing since I was a kid, but wasn't your car, the Sky Quartz, given to you by your sister when you were twenty?"

Karl still remembered what Oliver had said and questioned it.

"Can't you secretly drive Dad's car if you don't have one?"

"I think you must have been beaten a lot when you were a child."

"Nonsense, my father trusts me."

"In other words, I won't care about you at all."

After hearing what Carl said, Oliver was a little defensive. He chose to keep silent and ignore this guy Carl.

Jack brought up another topic: "Come to think of it, do you think every company has a department that is specifically responsible for cleaning up fired personnel? They really put a lot of effort into preventing important personnel from taking information to other companies."

"There is definitely one, but the target is only an important person."

Karl said, "If you are a low-level employee who knows nothing, I feel that the company would rather let you bear a debt that your family can't pay off for several lifetimes and then get out of the company than send people to clean you up."

"呲-"

Just as Carl was speaking, Oliver suddenly braked without warning, almost causing Carl and Jack, who were not wearing seat belts, to hit their heads against the front window of the car.

"What's wrong?!"

Jack immediately opened the unlocked car door and almost started the violent mode. When Oliver suddenly braked without any warning, his first reaction was that he might have been attacked in some way.

"enemy?"

Carl pulled out his final night in the gap.

"No."

Oliver stared ahead for a few seconds, then turned to Carl and Jack a little embarrassedly and said, "My dad seemed to be patrolling the streets today. I saw him."

"what?"

Carl and Jack followed Oliver's gaze and found that just in front of them on the street, a middle-aged man with blond hair, wearing clothes with the Six Street Gang logo and looking very similar to Oliver, was walking on the road with several Six Street Gang members.

"What a coincidence."

Karl thought about it, and finally chose the former. "This is the first time I've met my uncle. He looks very energetic."

"He's just a stubborn old man."

Oliver said, nodded to Jack and Carl, restarted the car, drove slowly to his father's side, and then rolled down the window.

"Dad, are you walking around the street?"

"Ok?"

When Oliver's father saw a strange car parked beside him, his hand subconsciously went to his waist. But when he saw that what appeared after the car window rolled down was not the black muzzle of a gun, but his son, he was stunned.

"Oliver, why are you here?"

He stared at the car in confusion for a few seconds: "Did you change the car?"

"I borrowed it. I went to the Badlands to work today. When I passed by in the morning, someone was blocking me. I didn't expect to see you in the afternoon."

"In the morning, it was the artillery."

Oliver's father obviously knew something and snorted, "He has been quite active recently."

Will Cannon is a veteran in the Six Street Gang, and his status is even now second only to the leader. It was the death of his nephew, whom he had stuffed into the mission to gild the gang, that made Oliver quit the Six Street Gang. Oliver's father obviously doesn't have a good attitude towards that guy.

"Hello, uncle."

Carl was very obedient and greeted Oliver's father in the car. He was always polite to his friends' parents.

"You are."

Oliver's father looked at Carl's black hair and recognized him. There was a hint of smile on his face: "You must be KK. Oliver, this stupid boy, is under your care."

"It's me who is being taken care of by him."

It's a bit embarrassing, but Carl really means what he said.

If it weren't for Oliver who introduced him to Night City and taught him so much, Carl might still be just a small mercenary trying to find a job on the street. And without Oliver's support in the mercenary mission, Carl wouldn't dare to take such a risk.

"Hello."

Jack squeezed on the other side of the car and greeted Father Oliver, who knew Jack.

After all, Jack used to be in the Valentino gang.

This is all Oliver's father said to Jack.

"Next time, come and have a drink together when you have time."

"of course."

Jack responded with a big smile, and the others didn't delay too long. T-BUG could only delay for half an hour. Santo Domingo was still some distance away from the agreed-upon Heywood Wolf Bar. The old man and the employer were waiting for them to send the car and the target back.

After the pickup truck restarted and drove away, a Sixth Street Gang member who was about the same age as Oliver's father walked up, following behind him.

"Will Cannon, he's been going too far lately."

"Looking at the guy above, of course the actions of the hands will be casual."

Oliver's father spoke up, "I think things are getting messy inside."

After hearing these words, the other members of the Six Street Gang fell silent.

Will Cannon is the number one person under the leader, and now he is seeing some movements from above, what does he want to do?
The Sixth Street Gang is about to get into chaos.
