Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 214 73. Our Own People

"Welcome to visit us next time. No, I should say welcome to entrust us again next time."

After clearing out the attacking Voodoo Gang, Carl's team headed home, driven by Oliver. Before leaving, Carl waved goodbye to his employer for the last time.

“Maybe next time, KK.”

The network monitor looked at the bodies scattered all over the ground, and finally, he just smiled back at Carl and others who were far away.

Five minutes, just five minutes, the attacking Voodoo Gang was all lying down, not even one person came back to report the news, and this was what Carl's team did without Carl.
Fortunately, I have the video footage on hand. I will send it to the organization later and tell other people that there is nothing special and it is best not to offend them.

Hiring a mercenary team like this who is fair in price and easy to talk to will provide many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

The network monitor sighed as he thought about the time he watched a movie with Carl.

Unfortunately, the people in KK's team acted too quickly, so he and KK only watched the beginning and then the movie ended. He had originally wanted to discuss the plot of the western movie with KK.

There may be another chance in the future.

"This crazy team."

The Savage King slowly walked to his employer and spat on the corpse of the Voodoo Gang next to him: "Destroying him is as easy as crushing a bug. Now I understand why they are so famous in the city."

"This time it's your subordinates who are not clean and have implicated me."

The network monitor glanced at the Savage King, but did not intend to pursue the matter any further. He just said, "In your opinion, if they must kill me, how many people do you need to protect me?"

"how many people?"

The Savage King watched the vehicle go away and nodded his head with his thick fingers:
"I was taking medicine, but that doesn't mean my brain is broken. When I'm not using the violent type, my mind is still quite clear. That team almost killed me without even using KK. Don't even mention how many people were sent to protect you. You should ask how many people would dare to accept the commission to protect you when you are recognized as a target."

"Then do you dare to answer it?"

"I dare."

The Savage King hit the palm of his right hand with his left fist: "I haven't even competed with KK yet, how can you say you don't dare."

Having said that, the Savage King added: "But I'm not sure if others dare to do so."

"other people."

The network monitor looked back at the Animal Gang who were cleaning up the bodies of the Voodoo Gang, and understood something from the way they looked at the departing vehicles in the distance while they were busy.

"A gang that respects the strong must have some warriors among them, right?"

"There are people like me who always want to try, but they are not many."

The Savage King said one last thing, ending the conversation: "At least among the people I met this time, there should be no one else who has the courage to do this, except me. Ha, the Animal Gang boss, what a bullshit boss."

"He is only the temporary boss of this place and has not yet taken office."

The network monitor watched the vehicles in the distance disappear around the corner and turned back to the Grand Empire Shopping Mall.

I should go and do my work. The hackers from the Voodoo Gang welcomed me so well right after I arrived. I had to give them a welcome back.

Among the two vehicles that disappeared from the network surveillance sight, Carl was sitting in V's Viper, chatting with V about the party in the evening.

The job was done and the money was divided, but a party after the mission was inevitable. This was V's first time in Night City, so he had to be treated well.

Originally, wanderers from outside had to pass through the checkpoint outside Night City to enter the city, but as everyone knows, Taiping State is a no-man's land;
If outsiders do not want to enter from the Badlands Highway next to Saint Domingo, but choose to go around the Pacific State to enter the Night City Saint Domingo, they can also avoid the checkpoint. The only problem is that outsiders need to bear the danger of the Pacific State area by themselves.
We also have to be on guard against gang members in Santo Domingo who like to target outsiders.

However, the gang members in Santo Domingo who like to attack outsiders are even less of a threat to Carl and his team.

Who do they want to target, who do they want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob and blackmail, Oliver or Carl?
Even Will Artillery's most elite men, who were eyeing the Valentino Gang in the west of Santo Domingo, didn't have the guts to do so, not to mention the Six Street Gang in the south of Santo Domingo, which borders Pacific State.

"Oliver, are they saluting us?"

Carl, who was chatting with V about food, accidentally noticed the Six Street Gang members on the street. After seeing them, the group of people did not run away, but saluted them on the spot. The gesture looked like a salute to Carl.

"It's really a salute. How strange! We are just driving past them, why are they saluting?"

Jack listened to Carl's words on the communication and also paid attention to the situation around him. He looked carefully at the person they were saluting and found that it was Oliver.

It's really strange. In terms of deterrence, isn't Carl much more terrifying than Oliver, the guy who was kicked out after joining for only a week? Even if he is panicking and trying any possible means, he should still salute Carl.

Oliver didn't seem surprised. It was obvious that he knew the reason very well. He didn't mean to keep people in suspense and simply explained it to the others:
"Do you remember the time when the Six Street Gang was beaten up by the Valentino Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang? Jack's ex-girlfriend asked Jack for help. All the people who died in the Six Street Gang were from Will Cannon's gang. With fewer people, they simply gave up on Taiping State, which had no lucrative land except Dog Town, and focused on the west. Now, all the people here are my father's."

"your dad?"

Carl had an impression: "Isn't your father just a small leader of the Sixth Street Gang?"

"He is indeed a small boss. He took this place in the south by picking up things that others didn't want. How could he not be a small boss? Ignore their salutes. Pay close attention to their direction. They are saluting towards the car behind us. The person in that car is most likely my father."

Oliver said, looking at the rearview mirror and snorted, "I just told my sister I was passing by here. This old man just said hello a few days ago, but he wanted to come and see me again. He made a big show and even saluted me. He was so impressive. Why didn't he join the New America at that time? If he had done that, Johnny Silver Hand would have saluted you more than 60 years ago."

Listening to Oliver's words, which seemed like he was complaining but were actually quite happy, Carl looked back at the vehicle that was silently following behind him, but he saw something else behind it.

Is this because he has a piece of territory and wants to support his son?
When Carl and his friends went to the Badlands for the first time, they were blocked on the street by Will Cannon's men. Although the fact was that Will Cannon's men were afraid that Oliver would bring Carl Jack to cause trouble for them, so they gathered a group of people to ask questions, they were indeed blocked.

And the place where the traffic jam happened at that time seemed to be here.

This territory now belongs to Oliver's father. This uncle is telling Oliver that now that his father has someone to rely on, you can pass through Saint-Domingo without any worries in the future. I don't think anyone dares to drive you away.
Or was he simply thinking that he wanted his son, who was kicked out of the Sixth Street Gang, to also experience the feeling of being saluted?

It was hard to figure out what the elders were thinking, but Karl saw something else in it.

That is Oliver's father. Although he has recently become the person in charge of this place, he was definitely not a small leader in the Six Street Gang before.

A small leader who is at odds with Will Cannon has no way to occupy the territory after Will Cannon's personnel withdraw. Although this place is not profitable, if Will Cannon wants to stay, he will definitely leave it to someone in the gang who is closer to him. No matter how you think about it, he will never leave it to Oliver's father who has a personal grudge against Oliver.

The only way to get it is by some means.

so.
Think about it this way, in the Six Street Gang, they also have their own territory under their control.
