Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 175 34. Meeting in person
"Are you still arguing? I've already met the new middleman and I'm back."

Coming out of the afterlife and getting in the car, Carl had a headache looking at his three companions who were still arguing on the communication. "Is it so difficult to decide on a name for a dog? If it were you, we should just hold a vote or call it whatever you like. Anyway, a bionic dog like this only needs a connection, and there's no need to call it by name for it to respond."

"This matter needs to be carefully decided, Karl, how can you just vote casually?"

Having said that, Oliver's attention was still drawn to Carl's words: "Aren't you going to deliver work to Brown and Mann? How come you suddenly know the new middleman?"

"You know, old captain, he has been acting as a middleman recently. He wants to make a name for himself and is looking for mercenaries to do work. He called me and said that he wants us to do some work for him in the future and there will be a large sum of money as a reward."

"Old captain, why is he doing this?"

As a native of Saint Domingo, it was Oliver who introduced Carl to the old captain's car selling website. Hearing that Carl was now going to act as a middleman, he was inevitably a little surprised.

"The middleman business is all about connections and money. As a famous second-hand car dealer, he has both. Maybe he just got excited on the spur of the moment and thought he could do it."

Jack said, glancing at Carl who was sitting in the back seat: "What do you mean, Carl, do you want to take the job?"

"It's considered a promise that you can send us any work that interests me in the future."

Carl said, "And the old captain is not the only new middleman I know. My boss in my next life, the middleman king Roger, is here today. She saw me coming and asked me if I was going to take the job."

"Rog?!"

Hearing this name, whether it was Jack, Oliver, or T-BUG who was listening in the communication, they were all surprised, and then Jack, who reacted faster, asked:

"Is that the living legend?"

"more or less."

"She is in the afterlife now?"

Oliver asked.

"It's inside. Why, are you going to meet him?"

"Forget it."

Listening to Karl’s words, Oliver was somewhat moved, but he still shook his head: “I’m just surprised that someone who grew up listening to legends is now interacting with us.”

"This is what happens when you become famous as a mercenary."

T-BUG said in the communication: "I have heard about Rogge's ability. It is said that as long as she wants, she can get you anything you want. She can even get the most confidential information within the company."

“That means you have a wide network of connections.”

Karl shook his head: "I've met more and more middlemen recently. This time, I'm afraid I really will have too much work to do."

"That's a good thing, Carl." Oliver said, starting the car. "It's better than always running into people like Faraday."

Oliver was still upset about Faraday taking a large sum of the hiring money. Although as a mercenary he had agreed to take whatever amount of money he wanted, the middleman took so much of it that there was no way he could expect Oliver to work for him again.

"Faraday has become smart. I guess he knows that we have found out the truth about the commission from Mann, so he doesn't call us anymore and expects us to work for him. This is a way of making a profit from every order."

Jack was also a little annoyed with Faraday: "You don't understand at all. By comparison, I now understand why the priest and Kako can become the most famous middlemen in a region, while Faraday, who has a lot of experience, can only run around in a few regions. No one really wants to work for such a person."

"Middlemen like this are the norm." T-BUG has worked with more middlemen and knows more about this: "It's better to say that most mercenaries work under guys like Faraday, who are even greedier than Faraday and have no skills. Have you heard of Cormac? That guy even sells out the rumors of the mercenaries he has been working with for many years."

"I heard Mann chatting about this. Mann also helped him do work. He said he was the same kind of guy as Faraday. If you think about it, even Mann's team is like this. This seems to be the norm."

Carl said, feeling a little unbelievable: "So, mercenaries like us who are only greedy for money by Faraday are still lucky?"

"In other words Carl."

T-BUG, who joined the team last, saw it more clearly: "It should be said that it's not that you didn't encounter them, but those guys who are incompetent and greedy know how to find us, and they can't control it."

If the powerful mercenaries are really pissed off, the middleman will have to think carefully about his own life. If you provoke the KK team, you can't just lose your life that way.

After saying this, T-BUG added, "So, people should do their jobs according to their abilities. I think Oliver and Jack have no control over naming. You have to listen to me. Let's call him Qiuqiu."

"Call Bella!"

"Sir Wangwang!"

I took it.

Seeing that the topic that he had finally diverted with the help of the new middleman was instantly back on track after T-BUG's words, what could Carl say? He could only lie down in the back seat obediently, lean his head on the back of the bionic dog lying in the back seat, and close his eyes to rest.

Contact your supervisor.

Carl: Now that the team has been commissioned, do the relevant personnel need to review it?

Kenichi Shiro: No need. There aren't many teams that you're familiar with in the intelligence. I know all the members. The leaders are the mercenaries Mann and Brown who have carried out escort missions with us, right?

As expected of a detective agency employee, his investigative abilities are indeed strong.

Carl: So, it's up to me to decide on this matter, right? Do you want to report it?

Kenichi Shiro: We cannot leave any obvious traces, but it is necessary to report. You must come to the Kanbi Building at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

You say that no obvious traces can be left, but you still have to follow the process and report the purpose of the funds after they are released, right? You might as well leave a written explanation.

The program is fully loaded for you.

Carl: I'll be there. Which floor are you on?

Kenichi Shiro: The 100th floor of the Blue Bi Building, Tavernier Suite. When the time comes, you will be outside the security circle of the Blue Bi Building, and a special person will take you into the Blue Bi Building. After entering, another person will lead the way. You can follow the instructions and take the special elevator to arrive. I will ask the people in the building to release the authority. Also, the person you need to report to is not me, and you should not ask where I am.

Not Kenichi Shiro
Hearing this, Karl opened his eyes. He already understood something, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Carl: What do you mean?

Kenichishiro: Ms. Haruko, I plan to meet you in person.

Haruko Arasaka wants to meet Carl.

　ps. I am going to try to update three times. There will be more later.
