From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

"Ahem, well, this citizen, thank you for your help to the NCPD. If you'd like, I can give you the identification number of the criminal you shot down, and you can go to the NCPD official website to claim the reward money in one day."

Leo shook his head: "I heard that you are in financial difficulties, so this money can be considered as my donation. Speaking of which, I saw the news interruption on News Channel 54 yesterday. What position are you in now?"

Stings' cheeks twitched, hesitating for a moment, but he still answered honestly: "I am now a police inspector, still responsible for the law and order management of Watson District, and the jurisdiction has expanded a lot."

"It's still a little low..." Leo waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, I get it. I'll help you if something good happens. If you want to compete for a position of real power, your position is still too low."

Stings was speechless: He really didn't know that he was competing for a position of real power, and...what is real power? Does the next level of police inspector count as real power?

While he was distracted, a female police officer glanced through the rear window that had not yet been closed and caught a glimpse of the scene inside the car.

There was a beautiful woman who was cleaning a gun, and another woman... who was handcuffed and had blood on her face and seemed unconscious.

Kidnapping!?

This scene really looks like a kidnapping!

"Sir... look at the back of the vehicle..."

Stings looked over subconsciously, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

With his eyesight, he could of course tell that the woman was not in good condition. She seemed to be injured, and the injury might be serious.

"…What's her situation?"

After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked this question that might intensify the conflict.

As a policeman, he can turn a blind eye, but he cannot close both eyes.

Leo glanced back calmly, raised his hand and pressed the button on the center console - raising the rear window.

"A patient. I happened to see her having an attack when I passed by, so I kindly helped her. I'm taking her to see a doctor now. What's the problem?"

Any questions?

Of course there are problems, and they are big ones.

This looks like a violent kidnapping...

Stings was in a dilemma.

Leo ignored him, waved his hands a few times, and said goodbye: "She is still waiting for the doctor's treatment, I won't stay any longer. If you have any difficult problems, you can come to the Next Life Bar to find me."

After saying that, he closed the car window and started the car again.

Stings did not give any instructions until Thrace 388 completely disappeared from sight.

The female subordinate seemed to have forgotten what she had just seen and started chatting with other colleagues as if nothing had happened.

To survive in Night City, even if you have an official identity, you must understand one thing - if something is out of your control, don't get involved and just pretend nothing happened!

First Show: Chapter 174 V: Conquer others with virtue! (Pointing to stick the gun out of the window)

The vehicle ran smoothly, leaving the "war zone" far behind.

Pedestrians appeared on both sides of the street again, talking in the direction where the gunshots came from.

V turned around reluctantly and said with an exaggerated expression: "Did you see Stings's last expression? He looked so confused and hesitant. Haha! I really should take a photo as a souvenir."

Leo concentrated on driving and replied leisurely, "He is pretty good. He dared to ask a question even though he was under my control. He is quite courageous."

"So you plan to push him to be the chief of NCPD in the future?"

Leo pondered for a moment and shook his head quickly: "When the day comes when we can really control NCPD, let him be a deputy director and that's it. We still have to find someone who has a closer relationship with us to be the director."

"Someone who is closer to us? Is there anyone like that in the NCPD?"

V thought about the people he knew, but still couldn't find anyone who met the requirements.

Leo nodded: "There really is one. Sasha's sister, Stella Ramos, is a police officer of NCPD. However, she is currently in Dog Town and her position is not too high."

V found it incredible that Sasha's sister was a police officer.

"So you want her to be the NCPD chief?"

"If she is capable and willing to obey my instructions, then it's fine."

Leo thought about it and said,

"I've just arrived in Night City and I don't know many policemen. In addition to the two I just mentioned, I know two other good policemen."

"One is River Ward, the other is Anna Hamill, both are detectives.

But both of them have some flaws. The former has a strong sense of justice. If he really becomes the director, he may not follow my orders 100%. The latter is ambitious but incompetent. His ability and wisdom are not worthy of the position of director.

In short, we will take it one step at a time, and there will always be a suitable candidate. "

V stared at him intently, and felt that the way he talked had a special charm.

"You sound as if you have the final say in the NCPD. Be careful that your overconfidence turns into arrogance."

Leo chuckled: "With greater ability comes greater power. Once I really take NCPD into my arms, I will only want more."

While chatting, we arrived at our destination.

Riot Nightclub is just as its name suggests - it obviously doesn't open during the day.

Fortunately, their purpose of coming was to send someone off.

On the side of the nightclub is a dedicated loading and unloading area with two large dumpsters and some broken furniture. For convenience, there is space left for small trucks to enter and exit.

Now, parked inside is the ubiquitous Hera family sedan.

What can I say about this car - it's for poor people only. There are at least two or three of this car out of ten on the road in Watson District. When it goes out, the turning heads rate is 0%. Even the police don't bother to take a second look at it.

Seeing the Thracian 388 driven by Leo, the woman with a ponytail standing next to the car knocked on the door twice and asked the driver to continue driving in to leave parking space for his car.

Leo drove the car into the empty space, turned around, stroked the crazy woman's wrist with his right hand, and put the handcuffs "given" by Batman back into the space.

This is a technological creation from 2010, so it’s better not to leave it in Night City.

After completing the inspection and finding no other problems, he got out of the car with V and went to meet the woman.

"Regina, I didn't expect you to come in person. It's a pleasure to meet you."

He took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with the local boss in Watson District.

"I should say nice to meet you. After all, you are the hot topic right now - the famous L."

Regina said polite words while her eyes were wandering around Leo's face.

There is no doubt that it is definitely Chinese, not Japanese.

Look at this little face, you can tell at a glance that he has never suffered any hardship, especially never experienced outdoor work or activities, he looks younger than a woman.

Judging from his handsome appearance, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the illegitimate son of some important figure.

Kang Tao threw such a young master into Night City and made such a high profile. What on earth did he want to do...

After the greetings, Leo asked V to take the crazy cyber girl out of the car and hand her over to Regina's men.

He warned, "This woman's identity is not ordinary. I did some research when I came here. Her name is Huang Tao, and she is one of the female leads in the hit TV series Saigon Sisters. When you deal with her, don't let too many people see you, or you'll get into trouble."

Regina looked at the woman, focusing on her face and the slightly ugly implants on her body. After a while, she turned back to look at Leo: "Regardlessly, such a person should be considered an upper-class person. How did she become such a horrible appearance?"

"It's a boring, melodramatic drama." Leo spread his hands. "The general plot is - the younger sister ruined the older sister's wedding and made her a laughing stock in Night City. The older sister retaliated by transforming the younger sister into this half-human, half-ghost appearance. The younger sister retaliated again and attacked the older sister at her second wedding. There was nothing wrong with it originally, but unfortunately the younger sister was allergic to tannins and remained unconscious. When she woke up, she was a little confused and couldn't tell the difference between the filming plot and reality."

Regina shook her head when she heard this: "This isn't a melodrama, this is a bloody horror movie. Never mind, I'll try my best. I don't have any experience before, so I can't say what the result will be."

Leo shrugged nonchalantly.

For these cyber-psychopaths, it's good that someone is willing to try again, which is much better than treating them directly with bullets or sending them for microtomy.

He took out the empty syringe from his suit pocket and tossed it to Regina: "I gave her an immunosuppressant produced by Dinara Technology, the dosage is 100ML, I leave this for your reference."

"Thanks, that's very detailed."

Regina caught it swiftly and waved goodbye to him.

"I would really like to talk to you more, but this patient can't wait. I have to deal with this matter first. Let's talk next time."

"Okay, see you later."

Leo also took V back to the car and drove onto the main road again.

V returned to the passenger seat and put his left arm on Leo's shoulder, not feeling tired.

When they drove onto the elevated road, Leo belatedly asked, "What's the speed limit on Night City roads? I'm going fast and slow, am I breaking the rules?"

V didn't expect him to ask such a question. He frowned and thought for a while. "The speed limit in the Civic Center is 60 kilometers per hour, and in other areas it's 80 kilometers per hour. But as long as you don't speed under the eyes of the NCPD and don't get into an accident, they usually don't care about such trivial matters."

Leo understood what he meant, stepped on the accelerator, and sped through the streets of Night City.

Speeding all the way back to the Haywood area, he ran red lights, crossed solid lines, and liked to overtake with a knife-like slash. During his driving, he inevitably attracted some road rage drivers who yelled at him and chased him.

But after V kindly thrust the gun out of the window to apologize, everyone calmly stepped on the brakes and expressed understanding for his behavior.

V's laughter never stopped along the way, and it seemed that he really enjoyed this lawless and exciting experience.

"I feel like we are like the Bonnie and Clyde, writing a crime legend in the crazy Night City!"

Leo denied it, "No, we are civilized people, law-abiding citizens. What we did was not a crime, but justice, or...self-defense!"

"I knew rich people like you were much worse than me!"

V looked at the garage door not far away, and seized the last bit of time to leave a trace of himself on his face...

First Look: Chapter 175: Nether Dog Armed Escort Service

V kissed him on the face from time to time along the way, and Leo really couldn't control himself.

He parked his car on the side of the road and was about to try to make some excessive little requests to V, who was in a good mood, but he saw a black van driving into Vera's garage.

From the half-open car window, he saw a man with a determined expression, a cigarette in one hand and half of a gun barrel exposed in the other.

mercenary?

It seems to have a bit of military temperament...

"V, did you see that?"

"Of course, they don't look malicious, more like armed escort security personnel. To be on the safe side, let's follow them in and take a look."

The two of them quickly gave up the idea of playing around, kept a distance from the car in front, and drove into the garage.

While the two were out, the old captain's car delivery crew had apparently come again and filled the small parking lot to the brim.

Vans can only be parked in the open space in front of the garage.

On the other side, Vera and Jack came over with a few familiar members of the Valentino gang.

Woo——woo——

Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the truck.

[Warning, the security procedure has begun, unauthorized personnel please stay out of the way! If there is any attack, we have the right to launch an unlimited counterattack in accordance with the Second Amendment! ]

Amid the sound of an electronic synthesized alarm, the sound of the pressure relief valve turning came from the rear door of the truck, like rusty gears crushing glass.

Two small baffles suddenly rose up from the side of the car, and then two drones that were extremely similar to the "Wyverns" of military technology flew out from the hidden grooves.

The two drones flew towards the two groups of people in front and behind respectively.

The drone flew towards Leo and hovered outside the car window. A cold female voice came from the speaker: "Please lower the window, extend your right hand, and accept the identity scan. We need to confirm the basic information of the people present."

"Fuck... is it someone from Militech?"

V's hand has already touched the gun bag, ready to take out the gun at any time.

"Wait, don't be impulsive." Leo reached out and held her arm, then turned his head to take a closer look.

The LOGO on the outer shell of this drone looks familiar. It’s not military technology... it’s the Hellhound!

Why did the soldiers from Dogtown come to Heywood?

"Pure White: Don't be nervous, they are here to deliver goods. The largest black market in Night City is at the EBM Petrochemical Stadium in Dogtown. We want to buy contraband that can be used against big companies, and buying from them is the best choice."

The information coming from the internal communication channel eased the tense atmosphere.

V put the gun bag back at his feet.

Leo lowered the car window a little bit, stretched out his right hand, and let the drone verify his SID chip.

The information in this built-in chip is changed every day, so there is no need to worry about exposing one's identity.
