Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 330 92. Prepare to Solve
"Brother Oliver, Brother Jack, Carl, V, you guys are really awesome!"

In the hovercraft, David, whose face was flushed with excitement, was still recalling the thrilling battle between Carl and Adam's Hammer. He was deeply immersed in it and only regretted that he did not bring the Super Dream Recording Equipment and did not record the battle just now:
"It's incredible that you almost killed Adam Sledgehammer. That's Adam Sledgehammer! Mann said that just dying at his hands can be called a legend!"

"It was just a near-kill. There's no need to get so excited."

Being praised by David, who was also from Saint Domingo and was younger than him, and who was like a younger brother to him, Oliver was already a little inflated in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface:
"Adam's Hammer obviously still has the potential to counterattack. If we continue to fight, we may not be his opponent. It's just a matter of quitting while we are ahead. It doesn't matter."

"But you, brother Oliver, destroyed Adam Sledgehammer's eyes and opened his skull. If it weren't for Adam Sledgehammer's second layer of protection that no one had expected, the legendary crusher, Adam Sledgehammer would have died there!"

David was still excited and regretful:

"I really should have thought of carrying a device to record Mewtwo earlier. If I sell the Mewtwo recorded in this battle, it will definitely become the best-selling item of the year. Although I can't really sell it because it involves Brother Oliver and you, it must be an extremely enjoyable experience to replay it and enjoy it by myself. This unique Mewtwo record, as a personal collection, is exciting just thinking about it!"

"You really like Mewtwo."

Oliver looked at David, and glanced at Carl, who was sitting at the base of the open car door, overlooking the Night City in the afternoon: "Just like Carl."

"It's like you don't like it."

Hearing Oliver's words, Carl, who was originally thinking about his mistakes in the previous battle, turned his head:

"Don't you also like watching those Mewtwo in your room?"

"Ok?"

Oliver listened to Karl’s words and couldn’t believe it: “How did you know I was hiding in the room and watching.”

What surprised Oliver was not that Carl knew he liked watching those Mewtwo. After all, when he went to the Ritz Bar, he experienced Mewtwo in front of Carl and the others. He was surprised how Carl knew he was watching it in the room.

"Be careful when you buy Mewtwo."

It was not Carl who answered Oliver's surprise, but T-BUG who had been ignored by David and had not said much in the communication: "Don't always buy things with viruses, or when you are experiencing Mewtwo, don't let it connect to the room. There are small data invasions in your room every few days. Can I not check it?"

"Uh"

Oliver was a little embarrassed to be told off by T-BUG. David was listening beside him, so how could he put his face aside? "Did you see everything?"

"Ah."

T-BUG didn't answer directly, but a "ha" said it all.

Oliver's face instantly turned as red as David's, but not out of excitement.

"Anxious?"

"I will definitely pay attention next time."

After speaking word by word with almost gritted teeth, Oliver took a breath, looked at David, and changed the subject: "How is Mann's health?" "The other members of the team are already waiting for Mann to come out. He is fine, but he may need a prosthetic arm installed later."

After hearing Oliver talk about Mann, David slowly came out of the memories of the previous battle and told Oliver the news about Mann.

"That looks good."

Jack sat in the seat of the hovercraft. Hearing that Mann was fine, he felt relieved: "Tell him to come to the Wild Wolf Bar or to the Afterlife. I will treat him to a drink."

"I'll talk to Mann about this."

David smiled and nodded, but when he thought about the drink, he remembered the culprit who had put them in danger during this mission: "Wait until we deal with Faraday."

"That guy Faraday."

When Oliver heard David talking about Faraday, his mood, which was originally a little depressed because his companions knew clearly that he watched pornographic Mewtwo, changed, and he didn't know what to say.

In Carl's team, Oliver has always been the member who has the deepest dislike for Faraday, because among all the middlemen he has come into contact with, Faraday is undoubtedly the most greedy one. However, Oliver never expected that Faraday would now begin to sell out mercenaries at will.

Which middleman today doesn't try to maintain a good relationship with capable mercenaries so that they can help him handle more affairs? Some are extremely enthusiastic like the old captain, and even call them brothers intimately; even some are as indifferent as Wakako, and will give them enough face and benefits in various matters, but guys like Faraday,
A fool who can't even see whether the benefits of selling out are worthwhile, no wonder he can only run around various regions looking for mercenaries to take jobs. Even his original base, Saint Domingo, is almost squeezed out of Saint Domingo by the emerging old captains.

"This idiot."

In the end, Oliver just made this comment about Faraday. He was too lazy to say more to a guy who was about to die.

Mann's team would never endure such betrayal in silence.

It is only natural for mercenaries to seek revenge on the middlemen after being betrayed. In today's Night City, there are not many mercenary teams that can rival Mann's team, and those mercenary teams of the same level are often the most trusted partners of certain middlemen, and rarely accept tasks from other middlemen. Therefore, if Faraday, who is being targeted, does not find a way to escape Night City now or spend a large amount of money to hire bodyguards from the Animal Gang, his death is almost certain.

As for how Mann's team will retaliate and deal with Faraday, that is no longer Carl and his team's business.

After all, this is a matter of middlemen and betraying the team. Carl and his team are only responsible for delivering goods and rescuing people. If they are involved further, it will not be a simple friendship and is not in accordance with the rules.

In any case, Faraday never betrayed Carl and others.

The escort mission he offered, the rewards and risks were all agreed to by Carl and his team in advance. It was a consensual thing, because it was a negotiated relationship and there was nothing to say. What Oliver was dissatisfied with was just the fact that Faraday paid with his personal connections but only took half of the commission. There was no need to pursue anything. At most, he would stop cooperating. There was no such thing as killing the middleman because of dissatisfaction with the commission agreed at the beginning.

Of course, Carl and his team were very happy to see that Mann and his team were going to kill Faraday, and their team would not help, but it didn't say that they couldn't act as matchmakers for others.

"I have the old captain's phone number here. Give it to Mann later."

Oliver said so.
