Chapter 352 114. Kerry's Security Matters

"Ah, so those weren't special effects edited Mewtwo, but Mewtwo recorded in person?"

While the waiter of Lao Mo Xiao Chao Rou was serving coffee, Kerry explained in Carl's chat that he understood that the Mewtwo he saw was not extracted and modified through technical means, but a real live recording. Carl and his friends were not big stars in the field of Mewtwo, but a group of mercenaries.

"It seems that you don't usually watch Mewtwo, Mr. Kerry. This kind of Mewtwo is quite easy to distinguish for experts."

Carl took out his cell phone and showed it to Kerry. "If you don't mind, Mr. Kerry, you can write down my number. I'm a professional mercenary and have some reputation in Night City. If you have any special commission, you can come to us."

As the captain of a mercenary team, being able to attract business is obviously a skill, and Carl has never forgotten this.

Faced with a super rock star like Kerry, Carl could tell at a glance that he was not only financially strong, but also must have a lot of troubles to deal with. He must need mercenaries to deal with some of the troubles. In addition, Kerry did not understand the mercenary industry and had no concept of the industry standard prices, which made him a potential client with huge potential for cooperation. For Carl, it would be a waste if he did not leave contact information when he had the chance.

"Would you like to leave your contact number for future cooperation?"

Chris subconsciously wanted to refuse this behavior, which was equivalent to handing out a business card, just like he refused those strange collaborations at various concert venues. However, the words were already in his throat when he suddenly remembered something that happened recently.

Kerry has a mansion in North Oak, which is his residence in Night City. He has collected all kinds of musical instruments in it. Recently, a group of thieves set their eyes on his guitar, broke through the security team he hired, and secretly took the guitar out. If the automatic alert robot had not dealt with them, Kerry's precious guitar would have been taken to the market by the thieves. After this incident, Kerry has lost trust in the high-paid security team he hired.

Kerry is not the kind of person who is afraid of death, but he will not take avoidable risks unnecessarily.

MSM Media Group, the record company that Kerry signed with, has many competitors in the industry, and these competitors have long been eyeing this legendary rock star.

Although they dare not take action against Kerry in public, they may secretly send people to quietly make Kerry commit suicide or be kidnapped;

In the face of such threats, can Kerry only rely on the highly paid security team? Especially when this team has a record of failure, such reliance does not seem to be enough to make him feel safe.

As the saying goes, different types of people have different ways (rats have their own ways, snakes have their own ways). Since Carl and his team claim to be a relatively well-known mercenary team in the city, do they also know some qualified security guards?
Kerry was not completely unfamiliar with mercenaries. The ex-girlfriend of one of his good friends was a famous mercenary in the past. These mercenaries often did criminal things, and because they had to do those things, they knew very well how to break through security and what kind of security was difficult to break through.

What Kerry was thinking now was that since Carl claimed to be a famous mercenary in the city, if he asked Carl and his men to introduce a team of security guards that they felt were troublesome and could not break through,
"Do you know any famous people who you think are difficult to deal with and would give up the security of the mission if you encounter them?"

Kerry's question stunned Carl and the others.

They looked at each other. They couldn't be said to be dumbfounded, but they were definitely looking at each other in astonishment.

Kerry's question really stumped them.

Is this the kind of security that makes Carl and the others feel so difficult that they want to give up their mission when they encounter it?
It can't be said that there are none. Adam Heavy Hammer plus Kenichi Saburo, Kenichi Shiro plus Chiyo, and a series of Arasaka ninjas and action troops form a luxurious group. Carl and his friends would definitely turn around and run away when they see this escort force, but this level of personnel serving...
Apart from Michiko, let alone Night City, even in the entire Americas, perhaps only the new US President or the CEO of military technology has such guards around him, and guards of this level are not enough to be Kerry's bodyguards.
“Maybe, it’s a little difficult to find.”

Carl gave a rather tactful answer: "Security guards like this have basically been hired. Even if Mr. Kerry wanted to hire one, there is no way to hire one."

"Is that so?"

Kerry felt a little regretful. It was indeed difficult to find a professional bodyguard team. No wonder the professionals he hired from the security company were so incompetent.

"but."

When Kerry thought that it was not that easy, Karl's words did not end there:

"I do know a lot of good mercenaries. Although they are not originally security personnel, they also accept long-term commissions and are quite experienced in escorting personnel. They have protected many important figures. If you are willing to hire them long-term, Mr. Kerry, I can introduce you to each other. Then, Mr. Kerry can meet them and judge whether they are suitable for you."

"Instead of selecting security personnel, you're using mercenaries as security?"

Chris thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. Letting the mercenaries who knew the most about breakthroughs and had experience in escorting people be the security personnel, wouldn't that mean they could be both good at offense and defense?

Kerry was a little tempted, but he did not forget the current situation. He and Carl just met for the first time, and they chatted a little because of their identities. A security mercenary introduced by someone he just met for the first time was obviously not reassuring in terms of safety, but Carl also said that he could come to meet him to judge whether he was suitable.
"What is the price of the mercenaries you mentioned? If there are too few people and they are too expensive, then there is no point in talking to them. I am not that kind of stupid rich man, right?"

Although he was already tempted, Kerry still tried to maintain an experienced appearance, although in fact, he had never really participated in any street fights and had no idea about the specific market conditions of mercenaries.

Kerry didn't expect that his performance completely exposed the fact that he was just a newbie.

I haven't asked anything clearly yet, but I'm already discussing the salary. You have to submit your resume before you can have an interview.

But not exposing potential customers is also a virtue.

Carl told Kerry about the mercenary team he knew.

Team Brown has nothing to do right now, and they are also willing to take on long-term commissions.

We are all friends, so naturally we have to help them get good opportunities.
