Cyberpunk: 2075

The negotiation place is on the fourth floor. Perhaps the people in the company have an inexplicable obsession with climbing to the top. Even for negotiations, the preferred location is the top floor.

In addition to the ten members of the Uzumaki Gang who should be serving as security for the other party in this negotiation, there was also a male company dog ​​in a suit and leather boots. Unlike Blanca, who was wearing regular clothes and trying his best to suppress his nervousness. , this company dog ​​in decent clothes almost expresses Night City’s usual stereotype of company dogs on his face.

He has an arrogant demeanor, his nostrils are turned upward, and there is a certain contempt in his eyes when he looks at him. Looking at him, you want to take a gun and shoot him in the head.

'A guy who deserves a beating. ’

After making a mental evaluation of the twenty-seven or eight-year-old company dog ​​sitting at one end of the conference table, Carl had to admit that compared to the company dog ​​opposite, Blanca, the company dog ​​of his employer, was the most At least there are some advantages, and that is the advantage in appearance.

Well, I also gave myself a commission.

"Sit down, Blanca."

The company dog ​​on the opposite side of the conversation seemed to be quite familiar with Carl's employer. He spoke to Blanca in a very relaxed tone. In his posture and the way he looked at Blanca, he seemed to have regarded him as a person. meat on the chopping board.

"Juanito...."

Speaking in a rather complicated tone, Blanca sat at the other end of the conference table facing the male company dog.

"Don't be so nervous Blanca."

Juanito smiled, and his smile revealed a sense of confidence and accomplishment: "We are just talking about a small matter that both of us can accept, aren't we?"

"Little things?"

Listening to Juanito talking about trivial matters, Blanca clearly showed an angry look, but in front of Juanito's smile, she suppressed the anger: "Tell me, what do you want?" Only then can I hand over that thing.”

"It won't be very demanding."

Juanito's expression turned into a sneer: "After all, when I was your subordinate, you took good care of me."

When he talked about taking care of her, he emphasized his tone. It seemed that the past between him and Blanca was not as beautiful as words.

'It looks like the company dog ​​is dog eating dog. ’

Karl commented in his mind as he listened. His eyes swept through this temporary conference room with a total area of ​​120 square meters that was connected to the room through the wall. After determining the weapons and location of each Whirlpool Gang member, Wei Kecha nodded.

The employer's information was not very accurate. There were actually eleven people on the other side, including fourteen at the door and the driver. However, this was also within the unexpected acceptable content of the commission. Overall, this task was not too difficult.

When Carl was looking at the members of the Whirlpool Gang, those members of the Whirlpool Gang who seemed to have been invited by Juanito were also looking at Karl, but at least ten against one, they did not detect much threat from Karl, and As a result, the posture became a little more relaxed.

They had previously heard from this partner that the other party they wanted to negotiate with had no subordinates to rely on, so they could only recruit some low-level mercenaries on the street to help. At first, they thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that it is really true. In this way, what can a mercenary wearing a body armor, no subcutaneous armor, and only a pistol do.

These ten people did not recognize Karl as the person who had become the devil before. Firstly, the devil was a small cadre. People like the Uzumaki Gang were dying every week. It was really not worth paying attention to. Secondly, This group of Whirlpool Gang members are all partners who use euros. They are free manpower obtained from higher-level cadres. Few of them are familiar with them, let alone exchange information.

Due to this information gap, in their eyes, Karl was just a young boy who looked seventeen or eight years old and could even be considered young to join a gang.

While Carl and the Whirlpool Gang were sizing each other up, the conversation between the two corporate dogs did not stop. Juanito was so angry that he sneered at Blanca, causing her arms to suppress the trembling frequency of anger. After it was enlarged to the point where it was almost reaching its limit, it seemed that I had finally vented all my past anger, and I felt refreshed and got to the point.

"I want you to hand over all your assets, resign voluntarily, and get out of the company. Oh, the assets I am referring to here include all the money for the garage."

Then, Juanito only used these words to completely ignite Blanca's anger.

"This is impossible!"

Blanca patted the conference table that had lost a layer of paint and stood up: "What you have mastered is not enough for me to pay for this."

"Isn't it enough to pay for this?"

Juanito sneered: "Do you think you can yell in front of me just because you destroyed the evidence that you privately sold the company's transportation line to the Whirlpool Gang? I'm not afraid to tell you, and I'm not afraid of what you did. It's being done, and it was done earlier than you. Even you participated in it because I contacted the people above the Uzumaki Gang and asked them to give you this opportunity. If you destroy the transportation evidence this time, you will destroy it. I am As much as you want.”

Juanito raised his little finger, and then tapped the table with his little finger:

"Otherwise, how do you think I found out about your betrayal of the company's transportation lines, and how did you get this evidence? Do you think I had to give money to the Uzumaki Gang before you did? Recognize the reality, Ms. Blanca, you Apart from the fact that you graduated from a better school than I did, so that you can sit in the position that I should have got, what else do you have that compares to me."

"You are the one who is plotting against me throughout the whole cooperation?!"

"Otherwise, don't worry, Miss Blanca. I have already asked my friends from the Whirlpool Gang to set up a jammer in this place. Don't think about secretly turning on your recording device. Do you think I didn't notice that you pretended to be irritated by me and actually turned on the device secretly? Words here will not be transmitted to the company."

Listening to Juanito's arrogant words that sounded like the final judgment, the angry expression on Blanca's face froze, and then she became calm again as if nothing had happened. She sat down again silently, looking at her company subordinates in front of her, now her mortal enemy.

"We can talk again if you relax the conditions."

"Sorry, Miss Blanca, I'm not negotiating with you. I'm just informing you so that you can hand it over voluntarily so that I don't have to spend more time. Oh, of course, there's also a little revenge in it."

Juanito looked at Blanca with a cold face and laughed: "I've always wanted to see your expression, the expression of resentment towards me, hahahahahaha!"

It's just as refreshing as drinking an iced Coke in the summer!

"Are you very happy?"

Blanca's sudden words made Juanito's smile stop. He didn't quite understand why the other party could still say such words at this time.

Wasn't she going to collapse?

In such a strange thought, he looked at Blanca, and what he saw was a black muzzle of a gun.

"Stupid."

Playing corporate power gamesmanship, don't you play with guns?

"Bang."

The sound of a gun rang out.
