Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 489 102. Internal Fighting of the Whirlpool Gang

"Royce, you bastard, how dare you betray me!"

Brick, the boss of the Vortex Gang, was shooting at another group of Vortex Gang members in the distance with his modified and loaded pistol, while cursing Royce, the leader of that group of Vortex Gang members.

As the boss of the Whirlpool Gang, today, Brick faced a test that every Whirlpool Gang boss will face every now and then after taking office.

The people under him wanted to get promoted and were planning to make room for him, the boss.

This was not something particularly rare in the Whirlpool Gang. Brick had used similar means to get to the top. Now it was just his turn to be tested in this way. Winning or losing was just a matter of life. It was nothing to the people of the Whirlpool Gang. But what Brick found hard to accept was that the person who betrayed him was Royce.

Royce is a special one in the Whirlpool Gang, not only because of the stylish set of fiery LED optical devices on his face, but also because of his eccentric personality.

As a member of the Vortex gang who is widely believed to suffer from mental illness, his moods are volatile. He may be calmly discussing business with you in the last second, and in the next second he may pull out a pistol and put a hole in your head just because he thinks it's fun.

If the other lunatics in the Vortex Gang at least have some predictable patterns of madness, and you know when to stay away from them, then Royce is a dangerous person who seems to be able to have a normal conversation, but you can never predict when he will suddenly go crazy. When dealing with such a person, even if you are cautious and carefully prepared, you may not be able to escape safely.

And people like Royce happen to have a decent relationship with someone inside the Whirlpool Gang, and that person is none other than Brick, the boss of the Whirlpool Gang.

As a member of the Vortex Gang, Brick is also quite special. Even in the eyes of street people, Brick is a guy who understands and abides by the rules. Even in the company's internal judgment of his danger, a comment was given, that is, he is a smart man, and 'he has more friends than enemies'.

He has more friends than enemies. As a member of the Vortex Gang and the gang's boss, this evaluation is quite valuable. In fact, after the red era of the Vortex Gang, Brick has always been more reformed and has chosen people who are more capable of fighting as bosses. The reason why he can become the boss is because of his ability to make friends.

As I said, the Whirlpool Gang is just a group of lunatics on the verge of insanity. They are not fools. They all understand how much care they can get if someone with a good relationship becomes the boss. No matter what, Brick's taking the position is better than running a marathon that makes you vomit blood, constantly strengthening the transformation within the gang to eliminate internal strife, and always having to be on guard against their own people.

Brick was once the boss recognized by Royce, but today, it is obvious that the meager feelings between them are no longer enough to support Royce, one of the best fighters in the gang, to continue to maintain this position of superiority.

There can only be one boss, and the only boss Royce can now obviously recognize is himself. It is precisely because of this that he led those loyal to him to attack Brick.

"It will be over soon, Brick. Your end is already determined. After this is over, I will tell everyone that you are dead!"

As Brick's former friend, Royce obviously understood why Brick was able to become the boss of the gang. In order to prevent possible support, before the raid on Brick today, he sent out all the surrounding Vortex Gang groups to attack the transport convoy.

Brick himself may not be a good fighter, but he has many more people supporting him than Royce. If he were to say something in the name of the leader of the Whirlpool Gang and call some people over, then the group of followers that Royce brought with him might not be enough to beat them.

Fortunately, the grouping problem of the Vortex Gang did help Royce after all. As long as Brick was dealt with, no matter how loyal other people in the gang were to him, they would have no one to be loyal to. By then, there would be only a few people in the gang who were qualified to have the final say, and Royce was obviously the one who had the final say.

Anyway, the people in the Whirlpool Gang are crazy enough that they can survive even if their eyes are replaced without sedatives when they join the gang. It's just a change of boss, but it's not as painful as replacing eyes that have been with them for more than ten or twenty years. They just need to get used to it.

"Damn it, don't think you can hide it from everyone, Royce!"

Brick looked around, watching those members of the Whirlpool Gang who were still loyal to him fall one by one, and regret surged in his heart. He regretted not listening to the advice of a subordinate named Ellis Carter to deal with Royce earlier and get rid of him.

If Brick had listened to his advice, it wouldn't be Royce's turn to usurp his position now.

"Hahahahahaha, I didn't intend to hide it from everyone, but I just need to get rid of those who don't listen to me. Brick, don't worry, for the sake of our past relationship, I will spare your life. But... that depends on my mood. Do I want to take good care of you?"

"You're a psycho Royce!"

"I hope I catch you later. You can still call me Brick like that. If you want to run, go ahead. I'll catch up with you soon anyway. You can't run away!"

The sudden attack, coupled with the numerical disadvantage of one side being prepared and the other side being unprepared, meant that when there were only more than fifty people left among the people Royce had summoned, Brick and the two people around him were the only ones left out of the thirty or so people who were acting as a group around him.

It was difficult for the people led by Brick. After one third of them were killed in a sudden attack, they were still able to replace almost the same number of people under the more than 80 people led by Royce with only more than 20 people. They were definitely the elites of the Whirlpool Gang, but no matter how elite they were and how willing they were to risk their lives for Brick, now it was three against fifty, and the leader of the other side was Brick, one of the best fighters in the gang. The outcome was already doomed.

"Ahhhhh!!"

After Brick screamed and tried to struggle, but his limbs were broken, and the Uzumaki gang hacked into and shut down his prosthesis, he was brought to Royce.

And there was not a single member of the Uzumaki gang left around him, all of them were lying on the ground.

Taking a deep breath in the air filled with the smell of blood, gunpowder, and synthetic meat, Royce looked at Brick with a ferocious expression on his face: "It's over, Brick."

"Are you done?"

As Royce said this, all the living members of the Uzumaki Gang present heard a simultaneous voice.

Royce subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and found a man on a high steel beam in the Whole Foods factory, staring down at them.

Judging from his posture, he had been sitting there for a long time, watching the two groups of people fighting below.

This person's face is not unfamiliar, but to the people of the Uzumaki Gang, his identity is not that of a member of the Uzumaki Gang. If things are reasonable, the Uzumaki Gang should take action immediately and kill this person who appeared at the scene of the power seizure.

But what can I do is that the other party is right.

"KK"

Royce almost spat out the name through gritted teeth.
