Start in Night City

But what happens after that?

This evidence may allow Joanne to fall into the quagmire of verbal criticism and be abandoned by biotechnology.

But that would not allow me to return to biotechnology.

Without the protection of the company, I might not be able to survive for even a month in this city.

Just when Emilia was thinking wildly.

A communication suddenly came in.

Emilia glanced at it.

This is an unfamiliar number.

"who is it?"

On the other end of the phone was a young man's voice: "Emilia Morton?"

"Who the hell are you? If you don't tell me, I'll die."

"If I were you, I wouldn't hang up. I'm here to help you. I heard that biotech kicked you in the ass. They took away access to your house and froze your account. Let me Guess, you're hiding in some slum right now, shivering, right?"

"I'm going to kill you! Did that son of a bitch Joanne send you to humiliate me?"

"No, didn't I tell you? I'm here to help you."

"How to help?"

"You have worked with Joanne before, so you should have some evidence of Joanne on hand.

According to it? I want that thing. "

Emilia became suspicious.

"You said you have to give it to me if you want it? Why should I give it to you?"

"You can bring down Joanne, that—in your words—son of a bitch. Don't you think that alone is enough for you to cooperate with me?"

The other party paused and continued: "Not to mention, I can also give you a job."

Work?

Emilia understood.

Although I don’t know where the other party got his phone number.

But if the other party thinks that they will obey the other party, they are totally wrong.

Emilia sneered.

"I wouldn't work for a scavenger."

"Scavenger? No, no, no, you made a mistake. You are asked to work for a middleman."

Emilia was stunned: "Middleman?"

At first she thought it was either a gang in the city or a scavenger.

After all, they have a history of picking up company dogs in distress.

but……

Yes, why did you forget the middleman?

They are much more sensitive to information than the gang/scavenger group.

"The queen of the next life, the top middleman - Rogge, does this name sound familiar?"

"Roger?"

Even for company employees, this name is enough to ring in the ears.

but……

Emilia grinned.

"I thought you were also from the company, but I didn't expect you were just a mercenary. Did Rogge send you to convince me?"

If it is a middleman, it is not difficult to get your own phone number.

However, if the other party is from the company, Emilia may not think much about it and will agree.

And the middleman…

Even for Rogge, Emilia feels that this level is still a bit low compared to the company.

"Emilia, are you qualified to be picky now?"

The young man on the other end of the phone seemed to have seen through Emilia's inner thoughts, and sneered: "You are not the general person in charge, nor the R\u0026D director, you are just an ordinary genetic engineer, and you still want other giant companies to give it to you personally. Call? Do you think too highly of yourself? "

Emilia was suffocated upon hearing this.

really.

If there are company executives like Diana Cuno or Joanne Koch, other giant companies still have value in wooing them.

After all, senior executives at their level must have a lot of biotechnology information.

of great value.

And the only useful thing he has on hand is to hold Joanne's dirty information.

This thing is of little use to other giant companies.

As for my own working ability...

Let's put it that way.

If a giant enterprise is compared to a huge machine.

Then I am nothing more than a cog in it.

Maybe my gear is of better quality and more wear-resistant.

But gears are gears.

No one will spend a lot of money on just a gear.

"It's no problem if I want to work for Rogge, but I have to discuss the salary and benefits with Rogge face to face. Furthermore, Rogge must pay me 200,000 euros as remuneration."

"No problem, let's meet offline. You can negotiate with Rogge and hand over the dirty information you have. But I don't think you need to worry about it at all. This is Rogge."

"That's impossible to say."

Emilia shook her head.

Now she doesn't trust anyone.

"Then where shall we meet?"

"Since you want to talk to Rogge face to face, of course it will be in the "afterlife". You don't know this place, right? "

Emilia hesitated: "On Rogge's territory?"

"What? Are you scared? Of course, if you want to stay in the wilderness, it's not impossible. The Silent Motel? Or the Sunset Motel, or the Stoneridge Mountain town outside the city, it's up to you."

"Then stay tight-lipped about the motel. I want Roger to come in person, without anyone."

"...Obasan, we are all adults. Can you please stop acting like children and saying ridiculous and ignorant things?"

"O...Obasan? Who do you call Obasan?"

"Do you underestimate Rogge too much, or do you think too highly of yourself? You are just a drowned rat, and I asked you to choose a location, and you still slapped your face, right? Are you going to open a dyeing workshop even if I give you some dye? You Do you know who Rogge is? Are you not allowed to bring a bodyguard to Rogge? Have you ever thought before what you said?"

Emilia was scolded bloody by the opponent.

She was speechless.

The request just now was indeed too much.

After some wrangling, Emilia finally agreed to let Rogge bring a few guards.

And she would be waiting for Roger in Room 106 of the Keepy Motel.

…

In the box of the next life.

Mann and others, who were sitting on the sofa in various postures, saw Su Xiao finish the phone call.

They were all pulled into the same communication channel by Su Xiao.

Therefore, they also heard the conversation between Su Xiao and Emilia.

"Are you really going to alarm Rogge because of this?"

Mann was confused.

It's not just him.

Everyone else had the same reaction as him.

That's Rogge.

The most fucking awesome middleman in town.

Man

Well, they are qualified to enter the afterlife, but it does not mean that they are qualified to contact Rogge.

Being able to be let in by Emerick can only be regarded as barely having a place in the mercenary world.

As for Roger...

They are not qualified to deal with that adult (Cyber ​​Widow).

And Su Xiao not only seemed to know Rogge.

The relationship between the two seems to be quite good.

This greatly refreshed the level of shock for Mann and others.

"There's no need to trouble Rogge with this kind of thing."

"But you just clearly..."

Lidya Su did not explain.

Instead, he turned his attention to the strange figure sitting next to Rebecca.

She has a blonde bob hair style.

Wearing a red coat.

The most obvious one is.

She was clearly wearing a pink iron mask.

But he stuck the cigarette in the gap of the iron mask.

"Qiwei, is that the right name?"

Qiwei nodded.

She is a new hacker who was pulled into the team after Sasha was injured.

She is not a very enthusiastic person herself.

But I heard about Su Xiao's deeds from other team members.

Su Xiao not only introduced them to better prosthetic doctors.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of Mann's team are also imported from Su Xiao.

Su Xiao even allowed them to get the goods first and pay later.

You must know that when Qi Wei first joined the team.

Mann and others were so shocked by all the technical weapons that they were speechless for a long time.

Not to mention Mann and Dorio’s conspicuous powered gauntlets.

And the customized bulletproof combat uniforms worn by everyone.

Thanks to this, when Su Xiao talked to Qi Wei.

Qi Wei was still very friendly and took the initiative to extend her hand to show her goodwill to Su Xiao.
