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

Mercenaries inevitably come into contact with alcohol, sometimes for socializing, sometimes for relaxation, and sometimes for disinfection or anesthesia.

She has tasted all kinds of good and bad wines produced in Night City.

But this... definitely can't be brewed here.

The aromas of tropical plants and citrus fruits mixed together, repeatedly attacking her taste buds and nose.

This stuff is one thousand percent good wine!

"Huh...Fuck, this is what the Euro tastes like..."

That’s right, this is drinking money, at least that’s what V thinks.

Leo smiled, took out a few more glasses, and asked her to taste all six kinds of wine.

V’s reviews were pretty consistent – all great wines!

Leo took the opportunity to tell her the price he had set and asked for her opinion.

When V thought about the fact that the first two glasses of wine were worth three or four hundred euros, he felt guilty and thought he was wasting money.

"I think... drinking Coke is fine. Since this wine is a high-priced product, we should not waste it."

Leo discovered her thrifty side and was very pleased with it.

However, this wine is actually quite cheap, so there is no need to care.

Knowing that V had been waiting for him and had not eaten yet, he took out roast chicken, sausages and other cooked food bought from the supermarket from the space, and had a simple meal with her along with the bottles of wine.

V kept his CPU in overloaded state throughout the whole process and felt that he might still be dreaming, because these were all fine wines and delicious food that only existed in dreams.

Real meat, real fruit, salads that look like organic vegetables. If they are really organic food...they may be more valuable than an ordinary person's life.

And this wine, made from 100% grape juice, didn't exist in the little bar she went to...

After eating and drinking, Leo unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and lay comfortably on the sofa.

“V, let’s talk business. I want to invite a few people from our team, as well as Old V, Misty, and Mrs. Wells, to dinner tomorrow.

In addition to building relationships, I also want to ask Mrs. Wells to help me build a bridge and meet with the priest to discuss this deal. Do you think this plan and these candidates are feasible?"

When it came to business, the daze on V's face quickly disappeared. Maybe because she drank too much, her cheeks were a little red, and her eyebrows and eyes looked much softer.

After a moment's silence, she gave her answer:

"I've been keeping an eye on Sasha for you these days, and there's nothing wrong with her. She's a very reliable girl.

I know Mrs. Wells, but I don't know her well. Considering that Jack is here, it should be okay.

Old Wei and Misty... they are the rare good people in Night City. If it's just a meal instead of performing magic for them, I think it's fine. "

Leo could hear the key point in her words and immediately assured her: "I'm not stupid. I can't tell outsiders about this super technology."

"Then what were you showing off just now? If it were you, you shouldn't have shown off this ability. Night City is full of lies and betrayal. You'd better not trust anyone here."

"Your concept is similar to that of the big shot I met. He doesn't trust anyone, not even himself. But that would be very tiring, V. I don't want to be alone, so I choose to share the benefits.

What's more, this is a little secret that only you and I know. As long as you don't betray me, no one else will know it."

V's breathing was interrupted for a few seconds, and he suddenly turned his head away and didn't look at him.

"I don't understand... Are we very familiar with each other? We've only known each other for a few days? You... Oh, forget it, you should be glad that I'm the kind of person who keeps my mouth shut and values honor. Unless I'm caught and brainwashed, I'll help you keep the secret."

She said a lot in one breath, but her eyes didn't meet his. It was unclear what she was thinking or... avoiding something.

Chapter 90: Leo: "I can't teach him, there's no hope..."

The atmosphere became a little subtle.

Leo admired V's soft yet resolute profile, and his heart beat uncontrollably when he saw the charming pink color.

Since his body returned to youth, his primitive desires have also returned to the peak of his life.

After experiencing half a month of an exciting life with ups and downs like a roller coaster every day, he sometimes really wanted to indulge himself and use physical pleasure to relieve the tremendous mental pressure.

What's even worse is that V, who completely meets his aesthetic taste, keeps swaying in front of him every day...

The air in the room seemed to be filled with her wonderful body fragrance.

It made him...very uncomfortable.

Seeing V not saying anything and shyly turning her head away, he really had the urge to kiss her.

It's a pity that his mind told him that he would die...

The silent standoff continues.

He suddenly had an idea and remembered Chunbai's teachings - you need to be more sincere and it's okay to express your feelings directly.

Just say it...what?

I love you……?

It feels a bit too radical and might scare V.

Yes, be gentle.

"V——" he called affectionately, "Didn't you see it from the beginning? I fell in love with you at first sight, seriously!"

The color of V's face deepened rapidly, soon changing from pink to bright red.

The two had only known each other for half a month, and they were already saying such things... If it were someone else, she would have struck back with an iron fist, letting the other person know that there would be a price to pay for being so talkative.

But Leo… this guy was very strange from the beginning. Others were not as crazy as him when they took drugs. And he was smart at one moment and stupid at another, which made her confused.

Her intuition told her that the other party's feelings were real.

But I couldn’t figure it out rationally. It felt like I had skipped life and fast-forwarded to the ending.

The burning gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over, but they lived under the same roof and had nowhere to run.

Say something,

Say anything...

"I've never thought about this kind of thing, and I don't plan to consider it for now. It's useless for you to say this. I am... that is right, I am a lone wolf!"

Since her mother passed away, she has been living alone for nearly six years. She doesn't even watch romance movies and has never thought about such a thing.

Men... are so annoying, can't they just talk about business seriously instead of messing around with all this nonsense!

Leo was not angry after being rejected. Instead, he felt that V's attitude was much softer than he had imagined.

He had prepared for the worst-case scenario, with the other party sternly refusing or even engaging in a fight, but he didn't expect this to happen?

It's just like acting coquettishly, or just add some fuel to the fire and try a kiss!

Just when he was about to make a move, troublemakers came again -

[Don't mess around! This level is just right, don't push her too far. Human emotions are like springs, the harder you press, the harder they bounce back. Give her some more time, I can see that she has no past emotional experience, so she's easy to deal with! ]

Leo came to his senses after being scolded by her: What she said makes sense. You can't use force to deal with a girl like V.

But he still wanted to ask: [Are you sure? I think if we kiss now, maybe we can get it done in one go.]

[I think it was a punch to the stomach - she punched you hard and knocked out the food you just ate.

Just listen to me. I am floating on the Internet of both worlds. The amount of information I receive in a day is enough for you to study for a year. In my opinion, you are all stupid bipedal carbon-based creatures...】

How come you learned to curse?

Leo felt that she had become a bad person and was showing signs of moving towards Skynet.

He was busy fighting against Pure White, while V was already chewing a watermelon, trying to relieve his tension with the food.

The two were silent for a while, and tacitly skipped the topic of personal feelings and talked about business.

"You must not show your subspace technology in front of others. Once it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. Of course, it's fine to just do business. I still say that -

The best middleman for the wine business is a priest, who used to be a Catholic priest and is very familiar with wine. "

Leo nodded in agreement: "That's what I think. With Jack and Mrs. Wells as a buffer, the probability that the priest will do serious business with us instead of cheating on us is much higher than with other middlemen."

"Hmm... I think it's OK. How much did you bring back? Are all these goods yours, or did the 'big shot' ask you to sell them on his behalf?"

Hearing this, Leo's eyes lit up.

coming!

He had left a handwritten purchase order in his space just to show off. He finally got to the point.

"See for yourself!"

A palm-sized white sticky note was thrown lightly towards V and caught by her.

"3750 bottles... Yeah, that's a lot. If we sell them all, there will be a..."

Seeing V frowning and calculating over there, Leo sighed: "Look at your lack of ability, the unit of wine is box, and there are twelve bottles in a box!"

V choked...

"How much does that cost?"

"It's hard to say. The total price is definitely more than 10 million, but the middleman will take a share. I don't know how much the priest will take."

Ten million……

V couldn't even imagine how much such a large sum of money was. It was an amount she would never be able to earn in her lifetime.

Then she thought of the middleman's share, and her brows suddenly frowned:

"I have never done business, but I have worked for middlemen. The most common rule they use is the [532] rule.

The middleman withholds 50% as maintenance fees for the intelligence network; the mercenaries receive 30% of the basic action remuneration; the remaining 20% is used as floating chips to manage the NCPD, buy off company informants, etc.

Top mercenaries or those doing particularly dangerous or special jobs can break this ratio, but the middleman should take at least 30%."

"50%, absolutely impossible. 30%...we can talk about it later." Leo touched his chin, lost in thought.

Before he could make up his mind, V got anxious: "No, are you really going to give it to me? You are also a middleman. You can never cooperate with other middlemen at this rate. What's more, you have brought the goods to Night City and assumed the greatest transportation risk. How can you give it to others for free!"

"You are right, but you are too narrow-minded."

“What!?” V was unconvinced.

"This batch of goods is my personal property. The purchase price is much lower than the lowest price you can imagine. To be honest, I can make a profit even if I only take 10%. So my bottom line is 70%, and the rest is completely negotiable."

Leo did not lie, this batch of goods was ordered by Ah Fu, so of course it was at the lowest price, and the total amount was only 39.

It is impossible to make a loss, it just depends on how much you can earn.

"But... the priest didn't do anything, and he was given so much money for nothing. How unfair!"

"No, no, no, V, you think things are too simple." Leo picked up an unopened bottle of wine and pointed at the bottle to reason with her, "For something like a commodity, the most important thing is the channel. Not only the channel for buying goods, but also the channel for selling goods."

"You see, this is good wine. I can't sell it cheaply. I need a middleman with many connections to distribute this batch of wine to bars, rich people, and company executives."

"Our team of four is simply incapable of doing this. Instead, because the benefits are huge but we don't have the ability to hold on, we become the root cause of the disaster."

"The priest is different - he has channels to sell his products. I chose wine because it is the 'blood of Christ', which is a perfect match for the priest who used to be a priest and the predominantly Latino area of Heywood!"

V muttered in a trance: "Haywood...Catholic!?"

Leo nodded. "Yes, Catholics, Christians, Orthodox Christians, people of these religions all like wine because it is an essential part of the Eucharist. As long as my wine has the best value for money and tastes the best, I can even sell it in Night City and other cities in New America."

"Unfortunately, I'm too busy to devote my time and energy to selling alcohol. So, we need a spokesperson."

Yes, a spokesperson, not a middleman.

As long as the benefits are big enough, Leo is confident that he can develop the priest into a subordinate rather than a partner.

"V, don't be too concerned about money, and don't be too concerned about temporary gains and losses. What I want, what we can get, is far more than the insignificant 10 million. First use benefits to tie others to our chariot, and then seek more. Do you understand?"

V turned his head and swallowed the fruit in his mouth faster with his stuffed face. "I'm just a thug, what are you nagging about? It's fine if you think it's okay..."

Leo understood - it was fucking like talking to a cow!

He is crazy to try to teach V who has an IQ of 5!!

First Show of Strength: Chapter 91 Leo: "Haha, look, I get that V Zhentian drunk and do whatever I want to him!"

V Zhentian's re-education plan failed miserably.

Leo could only look at her and sigh, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
