Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Klee Hall gave the instructions, partly out of respect for the old captain, whose behavior made him realize that this group was highly valued by the old captain.

The Santo Domingo district is a large market, and he didn't want to fall out with the old captain unless absolutely necessary. If that guy really wanted to cause trouble, their business would be impossible to continue.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Gunshots rang out. Although Klee Hall had given the order, whether or not they would be spared depended on whether Ke Ling, V, and Jack knew what was good for them.

Clearly, V was not sensible; she was the first to fire, and when she did, she was aiming to kill.

Several bodyguards immediately fell to the ground, shot in the head, while V rolled behind cover immediately after firing the shot.

Jack Wells kicked over a long table, pulled out his two pistols, and fired several shots without hesitation.

Gunshots rang out continuously, and the bodyguards began to return fire. Bullets kept flying towards Ke Ling and his two companions. After V launched the first attack, the bodyguards obviously didn't care about "leaving a life" anymore; they didn't have the ability to do so.

Given the ferocity of these three men, they were thinking of sparing their lives, but the men were there to kill them. Between killing and being killed, the bodyguards clearly knew which choice to make.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling drew out "Blood Cry" and "Mending the Prison" from the shadows and activated Sianwistan.

He took a deep breath, his figure flashed, his twin blades danced in his hands, and his feet moved with the agility of flowing water as he chased straight after Klee Hall.

Ke Ling's action naturally attracted the attention of the bodyguards in the banquet hall, and he immediately became the focus of attention, drawing even more fire.

V and Jack were suddenly relieved of pressure and began to unleash their attacks. Ke Ling was like a "taunting follower," and all the bodyguards attacked him.

V took off her Ajax, put away her pistol, and charged after Ke Ling. Her Ajax was spitting fire, and her subcutaneous armor was more expensive than Ke Ling's, so she was naturally full of confidence.

Jack Wells elbowed a bodyguard who charged at him with a katana, knocking him down. Although he was a sharpshooter with two guns and could never miss a shot, he was also a powerful boxer.

In close combat, he's not afraid of professional boxers; this has been acknowledged by Old V, a legendary figure from Night City.

"Come on! Let me show you Grandpa Jack's iron fist!"

Jack Wells trailed behind alone, while some bodyguards who had avoided Ke Lingfeng rushed towards him, ready to capture him alive.

Jack, having emptied his magazine, didn't bother to reload. He simply put away his two pistols, raised his big fists, and started fighting with the bodyguards.

The breathing technique chip was operating, amplifying Jack Wells' physical abilities. He swung his fists, one to the left and one to the right, weaving through a group of bodyguards.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

Ke Ling brandished his twin swords, deflecting the bullets. He adjusted the direction and bounced the bullets back, causing several bodyguards to fall to the ground.

The banquet hall was now a complete mess, with tables overturned, food and drinks scattered everywhere, and maids and waiters fleeing in panic.

In just a few steps, Ke Ling caught up with Klee Hall. His bodyguards came forward, but Ke Ling chopped them down like vegetables.

S. A.S ...

"Buzz!"

The two bodyguards who had been thrown and kicked out by Ke Ling rushed back up. They seemed to be the strongest men under Klee Hall.

“I told you you were just a bunch of worthless scoundrels, and that’s exactly what happened.”

In a single exchange, Ke Ling severed the heads of the two men, while their attacks, though hitting Ke Ling, failed to penetrate his defenses.

With a layer of shadow armor to slow down attacks, a layer of subcutaneous armor, and the [Absolute Domain Force Field Lv3] after fusing with Rc cells, Ke Ling now has a thick "turtle shell" in addition to his powerful regenerative abilities.

The two bodyguards clearly underestimated Ke Ling's defensive capabilities. They tried their best to stop Ke Ling, but in the end, they couldn't even break through Ke Ling's defenses.

"Boom."

Ke Ling kicked Klee Hall to the ground. Of course, he held back 99% of his strength in that kick, otherwise the old man would probably have been kicked to death.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Klee Hall was no longer as confident as he had been at the beginning, and his expression as he looked at Ke Ling was one of fear and confusion.

Ordinary mercenaries and butchers could not possibly be as good as Ke Ling. V and Jack are at least within the realm of understanding, but Ke Ling is clearly a combat force of another dimension.

Klee Hall understood perfectly well that this bastard in front of him was clearly not someone a small, civilian force like his could handle. Without heavy weapons, he wouldn't even be able to hurt him.

"It's your colleague."

Ke Ling narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile, but his words clearly caused Klee Hall to misunderstand.

"People from a biotech company?! Why?! Why didn't anyone notify me?! I clearly spent a lot of money bribing people!"

Klee Hall questioned Ke Ling, clearly losing his composure. From his words, it was clear that his business had grown so large because of his connections with the biotechnology company.

Come to think of it, biotech companies certainly wouldn't care about or be able to manage small-scale operations, but when an industry grows to the scale of Klee Hall, even the most ambitious biotech companies certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

Ke Ling rolled his eyes. He hadn't even used any of his abilities yet, and he was already being mistaken for someone from a biotechnology company?

Despite his complaints, Ke Ling carefully recalled the game news and suddenly realized that even without his appearance, this Klee Hall probably wouldn't have much time left in his glory.

Klee Hall's businesses will be destroyed, the biotech company will create a massive malaria outbreak in the Valley, and the scapegoat will naturally be the illegal organic meat trade. The biotech company will take the opportunity to deepen people's prejudice against organic meat, and they won't care how many people die.

"If a company wants to destroy you, do you think it will notify you in advance?"

Ke Ling sighed. This was Night City, the world under the control of the company. Klee Hall had worked hard to become the black market organic meat tycoon, but if the company made a single move, he would lose everything in an instant, dragging countless others down with him.

""

The light in Klee Hall's eyes disappeared. Of course, he had thought about this day. After all, what he was doing was constantly exploiting the company, and once things came to light, there was no way he would survive.

He knew, of course, that small-scale tinkering wouldn't amount to much, but he also had ambition, and that ambition had driven him to where he was today.

By constantly eliminating competitors and seizing others' channels and markets, he made himself an organic meat tycoon on the black market, but he also sowed the seeds of his own future disaster.

The initial accumulation of capital is never clean, and Klee Hall never considered himself a good person. He built his business to its current state by killing countless people and destroying countless families along the way. It is a bloody path.

"Pfft!"

Klee Hall's eyes widened after Ke Ling plunged a knife into his heart.

"He deserved it, I suppose."

These were Klee Hall's last thoughts, a kind of summary of his life.

But there is one thing he can be sure of: he has very strict quality control and has never sold any problematic meat or caused any outbreaks of infectious diseases. Although he did this for the long-term benefit of the business, he can indeed be sure of his conscience on this point.

"Klee Hall is dead!"

Just as Ke Ling stabbed Klee Hall to death, V started shouting. She had been following Ke Ling's charge and had seen everything clearly. She started shouting as soon as Ke Ling killed Klee Hall.

The street girl screamed at the top of her lungs, and Jack Wells heard her clearly. He wiped the blood from his face and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your boss is dead, are you still going to fight?"

Jack Wells looked at the bodyguards around him. Seventeen or eighteen of them were lying on the ground beside him, all of whom he had punched to the ground, their fists covered in blood.

There were at least seventy or eighty bodyguards in the room, but less than half of them were still standing. Now that Klee Hall was dead, there was naturally no need for them to continue fighting.

That's the logic, but some people still didn't give up the fight because their friends and brothers had been killed by Ke Ling, V, and Jack, and they wanted to avenge their loved ones.

Ke Ling, V, and Jack showed no mercy to these people; those who deserved to be killed were not spared.

Soon, only about twenty bodyguards who had given up resisting and Ke Ling, V, and Jack remained in the banquet hall, and the battle ended there.

[Ding! Experience]

As the battle ended, the system popped up to calculate the experience points, which were pitifully small, even though Ke Ling had killed at least twenty or thirty people.

As strength increases, gaining experience becomes more difficult. Some resources no longer grant experience, and some that were originally worth 5 experience points are now worth only 1.

"Old captain, bring your men over here."

Ke Ling stopped looking at the experience-related matters and notified the old captain to bring people to clean up the mess.

"What should we do with this place? Should we take it over?"

V approached Ke Ling, the street girl looking excited as she gazed at Klee Hall's corpse, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

What's even more satisfying is that they not only killed your people, but also seized your property. Now they can take over this place with ease.

"Can we control this?"

Jack Wells also came over. He wasn't quite sure about this. The bodyguards, who were already terrified, looked at them with nothing but fear in their eyes. The workers probably wouldn't like them either.

"There is no need for this place to exist anymore, but it is necessary to find someone to continue this business."

Ke Ling slowly began to speak, explaining that Klee Hall's business was entangled with the biotechnology company, and that the company would be liquidated within two years, making it unsuitable for him to continue operating here.

However, it cannot be denied that Klee Hall's business is not a shady business; his organic meat business is mainly aimed at the general public.

For families who want to eat meat but can't afford synthetic meat, organic meat is indeed a good alternative. Although it has risks, it's still better than protein chunks with unknown ingredients and terrible taste.

Moreover, Klee Hall has always maintained strict quality control and has never caused any major problems, which may be the best source of protein supplementation for his customers.

They have a conflict with Klee Hall, but that's between them and Klee Hall, and there's no need to disrupt someone else's lifestyle.

This organic meat business should continue, but in a different way—a longer-lasting, less conspicuous way.

The biotechnology companies are paying attention here for two reasons: firstly, the scale is so large that it seems disrespectful; and secondly, the business is indeed generating considerable profits, which are squeezed from the companies themselves.

Although the profit from this business is negligible to the company, the company absolutely cannot allow others to keep exploiting them like this.

To avoid being noticed by the company, one must either diversify the scale or give up profits. Obviously, the second point is more difficult.
