Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 430 43. Smuggling
When everyone thinks you have evidence, it doesn’t really matter whether you have evidence or not.

Nottingham-Winrio's previous old-fashionedness and persistence paid off in a rather ironic way.

Even his biggest rival, Will Cannon, believed that he really had the evidence, but Nottingham Winrio did not.

Everyone in the upper echelons of the Six Street Gang thought that Nottingham-Winrio was just old-fashioned and rule-abiding. However, a truly old-fashioned and rule-abiding person could not survive in a gang full of disputes, let alone raise a son like Oliver. Will Cannon, who failed to see this clearly, ultimately failed by a step.

"I guess I have to congratulate you on becoming the prince of the Sixth Street Gang."

"Get lost Carl."

Oliver looked back at the barn, which was now bustling with activity as a new leader was chosen. "I quit the Sixth Street Gang a long time ago. I don't want to be in the Sixth Street Gang anymore. I'm not familiar with it."

"It seems that the prince still remembers that I was kicked out less than two weeks after joining."

Jack also laughed and joked, and then said: "But I'm lucky today. I just wanted to come here to help, but I didn't expect that I would come at the right time. My friend's father became the boss of the Sixth Street Gang. Just thinking about it makes me feel inexplicably excited."

"Come on, even though he's the boss of the Sixth Street Gang, I don't think my dad can do anything too awesome."

Oliver said, "Gangs are just like that. They just keep on living like they were before. What else can they expect to change?"

"That's better than Will Cannon asking for protection money from the people in St. Domingo who used to support the Sixth Street Gang."

V pointed to Oliver's father's car parked in the distance, "Go back to your house. T-BUG and your sister are waiting for good news from us."

"T-BUG should have informed her in advance. The hacker was caused by T-BUG. Maybe she is already drinking tea now."

Oliver said, turning to look at Carl: “Speaking of which, Carl, what mistake do you think Will Cannon made this time.”

"We're holding a review meeting to evaluate our opponents' mistakes and improve ourselves, right?"

After Karl finished his joke, he went on to state the reason why he thought Will's artillery failed: "From my personal point of view, the reason for Will's artillery's failure is very simple. It's really very simple. That is, he really did it, and he was guilty, but he didn't have enough strength."

If the death of General Rick had nothing to do with Will Cannon, Will Cannon would obviously be the almost undisputed successor to the Six Street Gang. If he had not been involved in this matter, then Nottingham Winrio's so-called "evidence" would not have had any impact on him at all. He could even turn around and ask Nottingham Winrio what the evidence was like and use it to successfully turn the tables, but he did just that.

And this thing was done, his influence and strength were not enough.

The gunmen were unable to kill Nottingham-Winrio, and not all the forces present supported him wholeheartedly. When he could no longer bring benefits to his supporters, the group of supporters who were maintained by interests dispersed much faster than expected.

Taking all these factors into consideration, if Will Cannon could still win, he would not have been just a candidate for the top spot in the past. He would have found a better opportunity to get rid of General Rick and complete his legitimate succession.

"You need skills to do things. The more I think about it, the more true this statement is."

Jack got in the car and looked back at the barn: "Is it okay for us to drive your father's car away?"

"Why worry? It's not like he can't walk home. What's more, he's going to be the boss soon. Is he afraid that no one will pick him up? There are so many people who want to support him." Oliver sat in the driving seat without caring. His father was not a lone hero. He also had people under him. Although those people were not as many as Will Cannon, after the death of General Rick and the disappearance of Will Cannon's power, his father's people had the most people in the entire gang. With so many subordinates, would he be afraid that there would be no car to take him home?

"We can go anywhere we want in Saint-Domingo."

V still sat in the back seat and said, "I remember that you were warned before, Oliver, not to return to Saint Domingo. Although we no longer take that so-called warning seriously, now that your father is in power, this matter will be easier to deal with."

"It's hard to say."

Oliver put his hands on the steering wheel: "If they still have the guts to cause trouble to us, then I will look down on them."

"If they really had that kind of guts, they would have done it while Will's artillery was still there."

As V spoke, he realized something: "Now that your father, Oliver, is in charge of Saint Domingo, and the deputy director of the NCPD is Mr. Johnson, does that mean that if we want to do any transportation business from the Badlands to Saint Domingo, we can do it easily now."

As a former wanderer after all, after realizing that the geographical connections had been opened up, V's first thought was transportation.

"Officials collude with gangs, huh? That's a good idea, V. But it's really common in Night City."

Carl asked curiously, "So you have thought of what goods can be transported? If you want to open a smuggling route, and we act as the middleman, it will really make everyone rich.
By then, not only will the Sixth Street Gang have a source of funds and no longer need to collect protection fees, but Mr. Johnson should also be able to continue to arm NCPD officers. However, now that things in the city have been sorted out, we must also find a tribe of wanderers in the Badlands to be responsible for transporting goods. "

"I happen to know a tribe right next to Night City."

V's words made Carl think for a moment, and then he remembered something.

He still knows some of the recent intelligence in the city.

"Adecado?"

Carl recalled in his mind the things related to the wanderer tribe of Adecardo.

Adecardo is a huge clan among the wanderers. It is said that its clan members are as high as one million. They are divided into many factions. Each faction can be regarded as an independent tribe. Recently, it seems that a faction of the tribe has come to the outskirts of Night City.

"V, you mean, we should talk to Adecado about business?"

Carl had a normal impression of vagrants, as he only knew a few of them. He did not express his opinion on this matter, but only sought the opinions of his experienced companions.

"We can try."

V said: "Adecado is a very honest tribe with a good reputation."

Try
Is it the Night City smuggling operation that the NCPD is doing with the Sixth Street Gang and Adecado?
