Looking at the hand she extended to him, Leo suppressed his embarrassment and shook hands with her.

But then he felt her holding his hand tightly and scratching his palm twice with her fingertips.

Speaking of which…since the conversation just now, he felt something was strange. Was this an attempt to seduce him?

Judging from the "plot", Rebecca doesn't seem to have this kind of personality...

While he was thinking, Rebecca generously extended her hand to him: "Now that we have exchanged gifts, we are friends, right? Can you lend me your pistol to play with?"

Leo followed her gaze to the smart pistol in the holster and declined, "My gun is locked with personal information, so others can't use it."

"Eh~~~ Are the rich people's guns refused to be used by the poor? How arrogant. Well, I can take a look, I have never seen such a shining gun~"

As she spoke, she reached forward with her hand.

Leo originally thought it was no big deal and planned to let her play with him, but he was soon rubbed by her restless hands until he almost cried out.

"Oh...hiss!--Hey! What are you doing!!"

Encountering a female hooligan in broad daylight, Leo took two steps back in panic and avoided her hand.

Rebecca seemed to have confirmed something and smiled wickedly: "I thought rich people had long been desensitized to this, but I didn't expect there are people as innocent as you. Well, don't worry, I just want to confirm something."

She no longer had the frivolous look she had just now, and her eyes were full of scrutiny as she looked at him:

"From the first moment you looked at me, I felt that you seemed to be interested in me, the kind between men and women. Don't refute me. The most important skill for a street mercenary is to read people's expressions. I believe in my judgment.

Also, don’t be fooled by my childish appearance. I am actually 20 years old, maybe even older than you, and legal. I tell you this because I want to… make a deal with you.”

"trade?"

Leo quickly calmed down. It seemed that what had just happened was just her "performance" and the highlight was what she would say next.

"Yes, I want you to help me investigate something, and preferably kill a few people. In return, I will give you myself."

Her tone was extremely calm, as if she was saying that the weather was nice today and she had hamburgers for lunch.

But the amount of information was quite a lot, which shocked Leo anyway.

"You want to... use yourself as payment?"

"Yes, I'm still a virgin, and you like me, so I'll use myself as a reward in exchange for you doing something for me. Isn't that fair?"

"Don't you think your request is a bit abrupt?"

"I know, but I can't think of another chance for me to be alone with a rich, powerful, and willful upper-class person like you.

Since you are willing to spend 300 million just to become famous or vent your anger, and spend 150 million to buy two flashy guns, then it is reasonable for you to spend a little more money to buy a woman you like.

How about this, just consider this as a commission I issued to you. Mr. Middleman, what is your answer? "

Looking at Rebecca slowly approaching, Leo once again felt the magic of Night City.

As the first commission I received as a middleman, this was a bit too outrageous...

"While there is still time, do you want me to show my sincerity first?"

Rebecca's little hands stroked the barrel of the shotgun, with a devilish grin on her face.

Leo didn't dare do this on the street. If V saw it, it would be hard to say who her sniper rifle was aimed at.

He quickly recalled the plot and suddenly asked, "Do you want to investigate the murder of Father Sunrise?"

Showing Off the Cuff: Chapter 147: The First Gunshot!

Rebecca seemed to be under a spell that made time stop. Her raised right foot stayed in the air for a long time before slowly landing on the ground.

The smile on her face disappeared, turned into a deep sorrow and hatred.

"You...know about my father?"

Leo sympathized with her and said frankly, "I am a cautious person. Before I seek cooperation with you, I must investigate your background and reputation in advance."

"I don't know much about Sunrise Daddy - some say he was attacked by his enemies and thrown into the trench west of Night City. Others say he was accidentally involved in a factory accident while on a mission and was dissolved in a barrel of chemical acid. Anyway, the final result is that he evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared without a trace."

Rebecca listened quietly. This information was the same as what the two siblings had collected. She couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Considering that this is Night City, she is more inclined to believe that her father was assassinated by his enemies.

"Yes, most of the information we collected is of this style, but I have an important piece of information that can -"

Leo raised his hand to interrupt her and continued: "Your apartment was occupied by a stranger on the pretext of 'paying off gambling debts'. The savings that Sunrise Father had deposited for you in the bank also disappeared. All that was left for you was a nearly scrapped Falcon MZ2 sports car without even a wheel."

"You can find out this too!?"

Rebecca was so shocked that she was speechless. She knew that L in front of her was no simple person, but it was too horrifying that such "old stories" that had never been told to anyone could be dug up.

It is normal for big shots and public figures to have no privacy, but how come even homeless people living on the streets have no privacy! ?

Leo smiled mysteriously: "I am the middleman, so I must have some special channels."

After a pause, he continued, "To be honest, those strangers who occupied the apartment and the mysterious hacker who stole money from the bank may be related to your father's 'disappearance'. If you really want to investigate, there are clues to follow."

Rebecca saw a ray of hope again.

She knew it!

People are different, and the information that big people and small people can access is completely different.

Same thing,

She complained to Pyrrha, but the asshole brother would only tell her to give up and not pursue the matter any further;

She sought help from Wakako, and the famous "Mrs. Westbrook" also advised her to give up and not get involved in the storm again;

She sought help from Mann and Dolio, and they said similar things, hoping that she could live a good life and not dwell on past grudges;

But how is that possible!

That was her beloved father!

As long as she is alive, the hatred for her father's murder will be irreconcilable——!

As long as L wanted to, he would definitely be able to find out something.

As a low-level mercenary with barely adequate combat power, the only thing she could use to impress him was her body...

Rebecca's shaken heart became more resolute than ever before, and she threw aside her concerns and reserve.

This might be the closest she has ever been to the truth of that year, she must seize it!

She approached quickly and said, "I know that rich people get bored quickly and can only focus on one thing for a short time, so I will give you some compensation first so that you don't forget my commission."

Leo, who was immersed in his memories, was caught off guard by her attack. He subconsciously reached out and pressed her shoulders, trying to calm this legal loli down.

But then he discovered... Rebecca was so strong, even stronger than him!

what the hell! ?

Is physical potential 12 such a weak value?!

He was pushed into an alley by Rebecca and looked around guiltily.

This is an abandoned dead end alley. Apart from a few vending machines, there is only some trash that homeless people don't want scattered on the ground.

[Hey, Onii-chan, can you use the brain-computer interface I gave her to charge her and let her calm down? Or do you want to relax? I see you've been feeling pretty uncomfortable lately~]

Chunbai imitated Rebecca's voice perfectly, even the tone was almost the same as the real person.

When Leo thought about the three hackers looking at him, he immediately decided to show his gentlemanly side - "Calm down, Rebecca, I will investigate this matter, and we will talk about the rest after we get the results!"

Rebecca shook her head vigorously and walked quickly to the vending machine beside her: "What I need is not 'investigation', but full investigation! Of course, in return, I will also do my best!"

She quickly scanned the various merchandise and found a prop that would leave a lasting impression.

A piece of heart-shaped jelly that looks quite unconventional.

Leo then saw what Rebecca was holding and his eyes widened in horror.

In desperation, he could only ask Chunbai for help: [Block Sasha and Qiwei for me...]

[I knew it would be like this, boring carbon-based creature. Don't worry, I have always been solely responsible for you, otherwise how could Sasha be so quiet.]

When he came to his senses, Rebecca was already in front of him, extending her evil hand to him: "There is still a quarter of an hour before the battle begins. Close your eyes and relax..."

*

A quarter of an hour later, the quiet communication channel became lively again.

"Pure White: The mercenaries are in place, everyone cheer up."

“V: These guys are so lazy, they have to wait until the last few seconds to get into position. This is the level of mercenaries in the next life…”

"Pure White: Please bear with me. Some people were not in good condition the first time, so it took some time the second time."

"V: What are you talking about? There are newbies among the mercenaries hired in the next life!?"

"Pure White: Yes, the biggest rookie is in our team, right, L?"

The channel was silent for a while.

"V: L, where are you? Are you really going for a walk?"

"L: Here I come, I'm ready. V, you fire the first shot, remember to turn on the public channel so that the mercenaries can hear the gunshots."

"V: Aren't you going to fire the first shot? Let me have it?"

"L: Yes, I'll give it to you. Aim your sniper rifle and shoot. Don't miss..."

"V: Who are you looking down on? Look, I'll kill two of them with one shot!!"

"L: Huh!? Oh, it's okay, it's okay, come on..."

Public Channels——

"V: Everyone, please pay attention!"

The artificial eye scanner turned on, and Krenzikov turned it on, holding his breath, and took the two guards walking back and forth on the watchtower into the Hellcat's sight.

The technical sniper rifle begins to charge.

A faint blue light quietly appeared from the muzzle of the gun, and its brightness rapidly increased over time.

Wait patiently——

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

The two figures overlap...right now!

boom!

A beam of blazing blue light burst out from the muzzle of the Hellcat, instantly piercing through the sky.

The light beam accurately hit the first guard's head, and with its remaining force it penetrated the second guard's chest.

The powerful energy knocked the two men flying, and they hit the railing of the watchtower with a dull sound.

Blood and mechanical debris splattered in the air!

The first gunshot.

The battle begins——!

Chapter 148: The Great Purge (I)

The alarm on the watchtower flashed once, and the red alarm light just lit up and then went out quickly.

But the unique penetrating whistle of the sniper rifle still attracted the attention of the patrol.

Plus--

The two bodies fell down on top of each other.

Bang!

The body fell to the ground, and the splashing blood dyed the mask of a scavenger red.

He wiped his face with his hand blankly, and suddenly felt his palms were sticky and warm, which was indescribably strange.
