Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 174 33. Old Captain

"Hey, Carl, you're here."

There were not many people in the box reserved for the next life, or to be more precise, there were only the leaders of two teams of mercenaries inside. Seeing Carl coming, Mann raised his glass and greeted Carl.

"Is this drinking?"

Carl smiled and nodded, greeted him and Brown, and sat down on the sofa in the box: "I thought you would be nervous."

"Didn't you say the mission didn't have to start today? I haven't seen Brown since last time, so of course we have to have a good drink."

Mann said, draining his glass. "Isn't that right, Brown?"

"As a mercenary, I agree with you. Long time no see, Carl."

"Well, it's been a while, Brown."

Carl took a sip of the drink in the box and said to Brown, whom he had only met a few times in his next life after that mission: "Have you discussed the job you are going to take with the team?"

Brown, who is 46 years old this year and has scars all over his face from his mercenary career, nodded slightly when he heard Carl's words:

"Everyone agrees to help you. After all, they all got through life and death together. They trust you more than those middlemen who just randomly assign jobs. Besides, the reward you offer is too generous. There is no reason to refuse."

Speaking of rewards, Brown also smiled: "160,000 euros per team, are you getting rich?"

"No, this money was given to me by others. You can think of me as a middleman in this job."

Karl tapped his temple: "Speaking of what we have to do on this trip, I think you all have a general idea of ​​what we have to do."

"It's quite challenging to take down a ninja from the Arasaka Lone Wolf Hundred. "

Mann nodded. "But it can be done."

"Besides the personnel information, is there any intelligence on his whereabouts, Carl?"

The Browns came here to do the work, and he wanted to know more from Carl about the specific details of the mission. After all, the more information there is, the more stable the work will be and the less likely accidents will occur.

"Although I really want to say yes, the person behind me can't give me this information openly. He requires that at least for the sake of face, this is an 'accidental' attack, so no."

Carl said, "But I believe that with your team's ability to work together, we have his face, his name, his identity, and his approximate address. It shouldn't be difficult to find out where that guy is and get rid of him."

Speaking of this, Carl remembered something, data flow.

"The 160,000 euros for each team has already been transferred to you."

"Do you collect money before you start working?"

Mann looked at the 160,000 euros that had arrived and grinned, "How generous, Carl."

"I need a deposit to do my work, and of course you need a deposit first if you want to cooperate. 160,000 is the deposit for each team. When you are done, come to the Wild Wolf Bar to get together and help look after the place. I will treat you to a meal, and that will be the subsequent payment."

Carl said, and gave a warning: "This is not an easy job. After you take the money, remember to buy equipment or ask the people in the team to change their prosthetics first."

"Karl's treat is indeed a real reward."

Brown received the money, but he understood clearly: "Karl, this 320,000 should be all the money given to you by the superiors, right? Don't you want to keep some? According to the rules, as a middleman, you can get more or less."

"Come on, I'm just a part-time middleman. I'll deal with this kind of thing after I become a real middleman."

Carl waved his hand indifferently: "If you feel sorry, just handle this matter perfectly. That way, I might be able to get a higher salary from my other job. Oh, and you can come to the Wild Wolf Bar more often to drink. This will prevent some blind thugs from causing trouble here. Recently, the Sixth Street Gang has been hanging around here." "Don't the Sixth Street Gang rarely go out of Santo Domingo?"

Brown was surprised to hear what Carl said and asked, "And isn't the Valentino Gang in Heywood watching the Wild Wolf Bar?"

"Recently, Heywood has expanded out. In the Lijing District area, they fought with the Sixth Street Gang together with the Tiger Claw Gang. All the personnel were transferred to that area to be on guard. The Sixth Street Gang was very angry, so, you know, I heard that some of the Sixth Street Gang members who don't know what's good for them are planning to cause trouble for the priest."

"You are so brave to cause trouble for the priest."

Brown was aware of the most famous middleman in Haywood, even though he usually hung out in Watson.

Most mercenaries have their own fixed areas to work in, just like middlemen, but the mercenaries who can get in are naturally different in level. In addition to their fixed areas, they will also take jobs in other areas. In the process, they will naturally become familiar with middlemen in other areas, just like Mann, who usually works in the Saint Domingo area, will take on the tasks of a middleman named Cormac when he is not taking jobs from Faraday. (Middleman in the comics)
The level has been raised and everyone is familiar with it.

Brown, who understood the priest's ability, said, "Is the Sixth Street Gang planning to start a large-scale gang conflict?"

"In fact, it is more likely an internal struggle, relying on external struggles to deplete the opponent's strength and gain power."

Carl said, "But this matter has nothing to do with us mercenaries. Just be careful about the Six Street Gang's work. Also, you can come to the Wild Wolf Bar more often to drink with us. With more people, I think even the dumbest guys will understand something."

"Isn't the famous KK a good place? I think as long as the Sixth Street Gang finds out that you often hang out in that bar, no one will dare to cause trouble."

As Mann spoke, his artificial eye suddenly lit up.

"There's a call coming in, wait a minute, it's from a stranger, let me see who it is"

Mann said, answering the communication.

Carl and Brown remained quiet, but Carl felt inexplicably familiar with the scene.

The mercenary received a strange phone call
This won't be the case.
After almost a minute of communication, the light in Mannyi's eyes disappeared. He nodded to Brown and Carl and said, "A new middleman came to me and said that he was going to start working as a middleman recently. He was also from the Santo Domingo area. He wanted to get to know me and give me a task. But after all, I had just accepted your task, Carl, so I declined."

"Who is the new middleman in the Santo Domingo District? Is he another low-level middleman?"

Carl asked, and then got a somewhat familiar word.

"It's the old captain, the one who sells used cars and stolen cars. It seems that in addition to selling cars, he is now planning to be a middleman."

"Is it him?"

Carl still had an impression of the old captain. He bought his Sky Hera from the old captain. He didn't expect that the car dealer would now become a middleman.

Most of the business of Santo Domingo is still done by Faraday, the middleman who runs around everywhere. I don't know if the old captain can
Make a name for yourself.

Just when Carl was thinking this, he received a call, and the call was not unfamiliar. It was the call he made when he bought the car.

This won't be
Carl gestured to Brown and Mann and connected the communication.

"Hello, is the call through? I'm an old captain. I'm planning to work as a middleman. I wonder if the famous KK would be willing to have some pity on a newcomer like me and use your noble hands to hold a gun to help me do some small jobs. The price is negotiable. I guarantee you will have a lot of money to spend."

Well.
Did he call himself right after calling Mann?

Carl was in a complicated mood. He didn't know why, but when he saw the old captain, a new middleman, looking for mercenaries everywhere, he inexplicably thought of the situation when he, Oliver and Jack were asking around when they couldn't get any work.

It's not easy to mix.
Thinking of this, Carl formally stated his name and introduced himself.

"I'm KK, I heard you."
