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

Small scavenger stronghold.

Danger level: low to medium.

Number of enemies: 5 spotted, estimated to be no more than 10.

Equipment level: Low, cheapest pistols, rifles, shotguns.

Mission requirements: Annihilate, leaving no one alive.

Remuneration amount: 80 Euros.

Note: All spoils and rescued personnel belong to the mercenaries. After completing the mission, take photos of the enemy's death and upload them to the responsible hacker.

That’s the information, very concise.

But it is enough for mercenaries, as this is a very common scavenging mission.

Sometimes it is to save people, sometimes it is because the family members want revenge.

No one cares about the reason for attacking them. Scavengers are just like wild monsters in the game. If you eliminate a batch today, another batch will appear in a few days.

After all, in a place like Night City, as long as you give up your conscience and put on a mask, everyone can be a scavenger...

Mann quickly checked several other locations and found that they were all scavenger bases, including medium-sized bases with a reward of 15 and large bases with a reward of 30.

Considering the difficulty and type of the mission, the reward is very generous, but I don’t know how much the middleman will get.

When he finished reading, he took out the separation chip and turned around to see Rebecca's eyes glowing with brilliant blue light, obviously because he had secretly taken a chip to check.

Mann sighed inwardly. This was the bad thing about children: their over-vigorous curiosity, too much energy, and occasionally, their excessive sympathy.

Back then, he and Dolio were persuaded by Wakako to accept this pair of local siblings who were "familiar with the rules of the street". They thought it was a strong alliance, but unexpectedly, it was like they had become parents directly...

He shook his head and was about to put the separation chip back into the box when he heard the mysterious L speaking.

"Keep it. Soon the information on it will be outdated and will no longer be of any value."

Hearing this, an absurd guess flashed through Mann's mind.

"You...are going to deal with these scavengers?"

"Yes, I'll get a group of people from the Laisheng Bar and kill them all. It's their fault for offending me."

"So that's why you called us here?"

"Yes and no." Leo changed to a more comfortable sitting position and crossed his legs. "My team needs to use a large base for training, but we are a bit short of manpower, so we plan to find a few temporary teammates. Sasha recommended you, that's it."

"Sister Sasha... was supposed to be the hacker on our team!"

Rebecca suddenly interrupted the conversation, her tone a little dissatisfied.

"Rebecca, children should not interrupt when adults are talking!" Dolio covered her mouth and pulled her back to the sofa.

Leo looked at her round legs kicking randomly, then turned his gaze to Mann's face, "Two teams working together, the reward will be half and half, 15 Euros, do you want to do it?"

This reward is already very generous, and it can also establish a good relationship with L.

Mann only thought about it for a few seconds before deciding to agree. Out of caution, he still asked, "You are the middleman and the client. How much do you want to take?"

"This is my own commission. I don't need to share the profits. The marked remuneration is the actual remuneration."

Mann was excited inside, but he had to remain calm on the surface.

15 euros is not a small sum of money. It is the largest order their Edgewalker team has received since its establishment.

"Okay, we'll join."

Leo had anticipated his answer and asked casually, "Come to think of it, are all the members of your team here? No hackers?"

"Mmmmm ahh ...

Rebecca mumbled something, but unfortunately her mouth was covered so no one could understand.

Mann replied: "We have found a temporary partner. If necessary for this mission, we can bring her in."

When Leo heard the word "she", he had a vague guess in his mind.

"Please bring us in. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. I need to get to know you better."

This was a reasonable request and in their best interest, so Mann quickly contacted his temporary partner and asked her to join the mission.

Leo asked Sasha to create a new team channel and bring in the five people from Mann's side.

Later, the hacker spoke in the channel -

"Qiwei: I am Qiwei, please give me your guidance."

"Sasha: I am Sasha, hello everyone (>^ω^

"Rebecca: Sister Sasha!"

----

With the active Rebecca, the team channel instantly became lively.

When Leo saw that it was Qiwei and not Lucy, he quickly stopped paying attention.

Compared to Qiwei who has a "criminal record", he prefers her appearance...ah, no, it's Lucy who has a better character!

Since she hasn't joined Mann's team yet, he'd better find an opportunity to poach her.

Now that the team has been formed, it won't be a problem to protect Lucy.

After being distracted for a while, he turned around and said to Jack, "Call in the friends from Valentino's gang. They are half of ours. Let them choose the mission first."

Soon after the order was issued, more than 20 mercenaries from the Valentino gang walked in. Their appearance was very recognizable, with gang tattoos all over their bodies and faces, and various gold-plated jewelry with religious characteristics inlaid on their hands and faces.

Jack greeted them in a friendly manner and seemed to know some of them.

Leo knew that these people were the most capable ones in the gang, and were sent by the priest to support him, so he said a few polite words and let them choose tasks first.

When several leaders found out that this was just an ordinary scavenging task and the reward was very generous, they broke out into a quarrel.

The reason is that several teams want to take on the task of clearing the large stronghold.

In the end, it was Leo who intervened and merged a team of four and a team of six to take on this most lucrative task together.

Afterwards, several other teams also quickly selected their mission targets.

Leo originally thought that they would choose the simplest strongholds, but he didn't expect that they would choose the more difficult ones.

"Father, you asked us to help you. You have given us such a generous reward. Please leave these tough tasks to us. I promise that you will not be disappointed."

The leading brothers took on the heavy responsibility out of loyalty and showed him goodwill.

First appearance: Chapter 144: Mercenary gossip: L is a vengeful and super rich lunatic!

The Eternal Squad, the Mann Squad, several squads of the Valentino Gang, and all the real insiders are in place.

With these people, Leo has the confidence to mobilize more peripheral mercenaries without worrying about them becoming the masters.

"Okay, Jack, go call the mercenaries in."

"Ah."

Jack maintained a serious and stern demeanor and strode out of the meeting room.

Not long after, chaotic footsteps approached rapidly from the corridor.

Leo looked out through the glass and saw a large group of mercenaries with different styles rushing into the room.

There were too many people and the corridor was too narrow, giving them the appearance of an overwhelming force.

Due to limited space, only a few captains of the Valentino gang's mercenaries stayed, and the rest withdrew.

Mann hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Leo didn't say anything, he took his team and sat inside, next to the Eternal Life Team.

Immediately, the captains of the mercenary teams rushed into the conference room. Those who arrived first could still get a seat, but those who came later could only stand behind the sofa.

Leo took a closer look and found that the number of people coming in was far less than he had imagined.

There were only sixteen of them.

There are sixteen teams, but there are still twenty strongholds left.

"Why are there only so few people? I think there should be a lot of mercenaries outside."

As soon as these words came out, the mercenary captains looked at each other in bewilderment.

The number of people they brought with them plus the people already in the box must be over a hundred. Is this not enough? What kind of work requires so many people?

Leo was too lazy to explain and pointed to the separation chip on the table.

After checking, the mercenary captains found out that the so-called 300 million euro job was actually to eliminate the scavengers...

They had been discussing from yesterday to today, and had been thinking of extremely difficult tasks such as attacking the company's convoy, but they did not expect the result to be the exact opposite.

This job is a bit too simple, so simple that it doesn't seem like the job for the big brothers in the Laisheng Bar.

Leo knew from their expressions that these people were complaining in their hearts and felt that they were committing title fraud.

But he had a plan to make them obey.

"I am the client. This is a personal matter, so I won't use a middleman. The reward marked on the base is the actual reward you will receive. I will also pay the 5% commission of Laisheng Bar for you.

If you want to do it, just choose the task. If you don’t want to do it, you can leave.”

Before he could finish his last sentence, more than a dozen tasks had already been picked up.

The attitudes of the mercenary captains changed 180 degrees - this job should be done by the big brothers in the raw bar!

The commission per person is 2 to 3 euros, and it's such a simple task to bully the scavengers. This is just picking up money!

The only five medium-sized strongholds were snatched away in a flash, truly a case of the swifter the better.

The mercenary captain, who had a large number of people and failed to seize a medium-sized stronghold, even made a suggestion to Leo - let them split the team so that they could clear two small strongholds at the same time.

Leo agreed, on the condition that each team must not have less than three people.

This request is too simple.

The mercenary captains had been hanging around the Next Life Bar for a long time, each showing off their skills. They soon found a group of reliable lone wolves in the hall, formed a new team with the original mercenaries, and took on all the tasks.

At this point, things have entered the final step - the oath-taking ceremony!

Leo calmly pulled out his two pistols and crossed them on the table.

The golden light once again blinded the mercenaries' eyes.

Many people turned on their artificial eyes to scan and carefully looked at the golden guns.

"Now that the tasks have been assigned, let me talk about the specific action plan."

"First of all, the mission time is now. After I tell you the action plan, take action immediately!"

Unsurprisingly, this sentence caused a commotion because it was said too hastily.

Leo did not give them a chance to ask questions and continued, "I think everyone knows about the scavengers. The relationship network of those people is intricate. Maybe they can hear some news from somewhere and escape. And my goal is a big purge, and no one can be spared!"

"Once you leave this door, I will only give you half an hour to reach the mission location. After arriving, wait for my instructions and launch a full-scale attack after the first gunshot."

"My hacker team has blocked the nearby network signals. Neither the street cleaners nor the surrounding residents can call the police. You have one hour to complete the task and evacuate safely."

"Now, you still have one chance to quit. But remember, if someone leaks information to my enemy, he'd better pray that I don't find out, otherwise my next commission target will be the leaker."

His tone was calm and indifferent, without even much ups and downs, but the threat contained in it made the mercenary captains feel nervous.

A man who spent 300 million just to buy the lives of a group of scavengers... If he wants to buy the lives of everyone present, it probably won't be difficult...

Those who originally had some ideas in their minds also stopped their anger at this time. It was not worth it to offend a rich and willful middleman for a group of scavengers who only had occasional business dealings with them.

Seeing that no one spoke, Leo picked up the gun with satisfaction and stood up.

"Since no one has any objections, let's go. Once I fire the first shot, you will start to act."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door, attracting the mercenaries' surprised looks.

Finally, a curious mercenary captain asked, "L, you want to go to the front line as well? Ah, I don't mean anything else, I just mean... just wait here, we can clean up the garbage for you, you don't have to take risks."

The others also followed suit and advised him a few words. Leo felt that they were afraid that something would happen to him, resulting in the promised reward being wasted.

But this was exactly the topic he deliberately led to. Even if the mercenary didn't ask, he would arrange for the mercenaries from Valentino's gang to ask this question.

Thinking of this, he smiled and raised the golden weapon in his hand: "I spent 150 million to customize these two guns, just to personally make a few holes in their bodies and appreciate their expressions before they die. Who dared to pay attention to me and even attack me."

"They... still dare to attack you?"
