Start in Night City

Isn’t it beautiful?

But Jack saw Lidya Su's intention, shook his head and refused.

"No, Su, thank you for your kindness, but I can't have it."

Jack knew about the deal between Su Xiao and the priest.

He couldn't help at all with this deal.

How could he have the nerve to join in and pay for nothing?

"Security consultant"?

The goods were all produced by the priest's men. Last time the Sixth Street Gang tried to do something evil and ended up leaving so many corpses in Heywood, this was enough to scare the other gangsters.

Where else do you need a security consultant?

Jack knew that this was actually Su Xiao's intention to give himself money in this way.

But I was afraid that I would lose face, not be able to stand on stage, and be embarrassed to accept it, so I came up with this trick.

Jack just looks like he has well-developed limbs, but he's not really simple-minded.

Moreover, some money is free if you don't take it, but you can't take it casually if your brothers give it to you.

Get money without any effort.

Doesn't that mean letting your brother raise a useless person?

Finally, Jack sighed.

"Sorry, Su, you, V and Lucy should quit. You are right. This job is very risky, and you all have a bright future, so you should not be involved."

"What about you, Jack?"

"I still want to take a gamble. Maybe this is an opportunity given to me by the Lord. If I don't seize it, I may never have such an opportunity again in the future." Jack thought for a while and added, "We are friends, so Stop trying to persuade me."

How much is a biochip that only the rich can enjoy?

Jack didn't know.

But he knew that the box office of the Mewtwo blockbusters filmed in New America could easily reach hundreds of millions or more than a billion.

No matter how good a biochip is, it can't be less than the box office of a movie, right?

Even if it is calculated as one billion, if Dexter split it 30/70 with him.

Then he also has a full 300 million.

It was enough for him to let Misty and his mother live a good life.

He forced a smile.

"Hey, don't worry about me. When I followed Valentino's gang to fight life and death, I couldn't kill Jack. This trip was just to get something. Arasaka is nothing, he's just a bigger guy. Just a gangster."

Su Xiao and V looked at each other.

They all saw the same thoughts as themselves in each other's eyes.

Then, Su Xiao made a call to Lucy.

Tell her briefly what happened and understand her thoughts.

"Jack, have you really made up your mind and won't change your mind?"

"certainly."

"Okay, then V and I won't advise you."

Jack inevitably felt lost and lonely in his heart.

But he still tried to look nonchalant.

Pretending to be strong.

"Then I'm going to find Dexter now. While he's still at the bar, I might be able to buy him a few drinks for free. So, will you go back now?"

Jack said it deliberately.

He didn't want Lidya Su and V to see his true inner thoughts.

But what Jack didn't know was that he was really bad at disguising his emotions.

Fortunately he didn't go into acting.

In addition, for some reason, Su Xiao felt that this brave Jack was inexplicably a bit naive and cute.

"V, do you think it's too early to go back now?"

V also nodded in agreement: "It's indeed too early."

Jack was stunned.

"you……"

"What are you still waiting for? Didn't you say that Dexter will be back soon? Then why are you using his wine for free? Hurry up, GOGOGO!"

One hand held V, and the other held Jack.

Lidya Su, who was walking at the front, sighed silently in his heart.

Even if he and V and Lucy don't work together, Jack is still determined to do this big deal.

Lidya Su doesn’t blame Jack.

There is this sentence in "The Great Gatsby":

——Whenever you want to criticize others, remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages you have.

The same applies to Jack.

Unlike himself, he has other ways to make money, so when this opportunity comes, he doesn't want to make a mistake

Pass.

To put it bluntly, even if I force him to let this opportunity go, won't he live with regrets for the rest of his life?

Since Jack wanted to go, then he and V would accompany him.

…

Luckily they came out quickly.

I happened to see Dexter struggling to get down from the booth at the bar.

Judging from his more than 300 kilograms of fat, this behavior is no less difficult than the difficult moves in the Olympics.

Seeing Su Xiao and others coming over, Dexter smiled and said: "Mr. Su, have you...all discussed it?"

"Yes, we will accept the job you mentioned, but before that, Dexter, if you don't mind buying us a drink."

Dexter spread his hands: "Of course I don't mind. Just order whatever you want to drink."

Su Xiao smiled: "Since Mr. Dexter has said so, V, Jack, you don't have to be polite."

Jack was not polite and found a seat to sit down: "Then give me a glass of old-fashioned tequila with some beer and chili."

V didn't go over to sit down, but continued to stand next to Su Xiao, gesturing: "Johnny Silverhand, right? Give me a drink like this."

This time it was Lidya Su's turn to be confused: "What slang are you talking about?"

"It's the recipe of the regulars. As the name suggests, Johnny Silverhand is the rock kid who rebelled against Arasaka decades ago. Of course, if you say this to the bartender in the afterlife, it means the unique recipe he left here. "

Jack was in a good mood, patted the counter table and said, "Su, do you want to make an exception today?"

Su Xiao waved her hand and said to Claire: "Just give me a glass of ice cream."

Behind Dexter's sunglasses, a flash of light flashed: "Mr. Su doesn't drink?"

"I don't like tobacco or alcohol."

"That Mr. Su is really a saint."

"No, it's just different personal preferences."

…

After drinking, they returned to the box and sat down again.

"Since you all agree to join the team, we can continue talking."

"The robot is the key to getting the relic, but it is not the whole key. The rest of the matter is also crucial."

"Mr. Su, I need you to go to our client. She has all the information about Relic. She wants to see you by name, and you alone."

she?

Lidya Su frowned.

I vaguely felt that I might know this person.

"What's this customer's name?"

"Evelyn Parker, does that sound familiar?"

"It sounds a bit familiar."

Dexter plays with the taste: "Is it just a little bit?"

Su Xiao heard something in Dexter's words: "Dexter, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just that when Ms. Parker mentioned you, she gritted her teeth and her tone was twisted like an abandoned woman."

Dexter took off his sunglasses and said, "With all due respect, Mr. Su, are you having an affair with that woman?"

Before Su Xiao could speak, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the side.

Snapped! ! !

The cup on the table was smashed to pieces by V.

Everyone else was shocked.

"Look at you, your hands are bleeding."

Su Xiao took out water and bandages.

V turned away and put his bleeding hand to the other side.

"Why are you still making trouble? Stop making trouble."

Although Dexter was as strong as a bear, he was still frightened by V's sudden move.

From beginning to end, V was very low-key.

Just like Lidya Su's shadow.

Therefore, Dexter doesn't pay much attention to V.

But when he just mentioned Evelyn Parker, V suddenly behaved inconsistently with his usual behavior.

Could it be that……

Dexter glanced at Su Xiao, who was helping V treat his wounds.

People in the same team often perform dangerous missions and fight side by side for many times, so they fall in love with each other and have a good impression of each other.

Finally together.

This kind of thing happens all the time, it's not uncommon.

It seems to be called the suspension bridge effect.

Misstep, really a misstep.

Dexter didn't mean it.

If he knew what kind of relationship Su Xiao had with V, he would not be stupid enough to mention it in front of V.

In order to cover up, Dexter said dryly: "Miss V has very strong hands."

Jack laughed a few times too.

Seeing V's cold face, Su Xiao was busy treating her wounds.

Jack scratched his head.

"Dexter, I have a question, when can we talk about this thing that we all care about."
