Start in Night City

Then at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed.

A mantis knife with a cold light tore off the arm of the traffic policeman who knocked on the car window, and then penetrated deeply into the bodyguard's forehead, nailing him to the seat.

Another bodyguard was also killed by a traffic policeman standing on the other side with a gun hidden in his clothes.

Maria put her head in her hands and screamed.

Jose also panicked, and his face became as pale as paper.

Another robber disguised as a traffic policeman grabbed the locked car door with both hands. The steel prosthetics in his hands made a hissing sound and sprayed out large clouds of white steam.

I saw that he removed the door from the car body without using much force.

"You...what are you going to do? Do you know who I am?"

Jose still tried to struggle, but was punched in the face by one of the robbers.

Immediately, my nose started to bleed, and stars appeared in front of my eyes.

Then he was dragged out and pushed to the ground.

The other robber grabbed Maria's hair. Perhaps he felt that the hair was too soft, slippery and difficult to grasp. He moved his hand a little more and dragged Maria, who kept screaming, out of the car.

At this time, a van drove up from the front. Seeing this, Jose hurriedly shouted for help: "Help! Please help me! My dad is very rich, he is a basketball star! He can give you as much as you want. for you!"

As if hearing his call, the van actually came to a stop in front of him.

Jose became even more excited when he saw this and struggled even more.

As a result, the next moment, the cruel reality was like a bucket of cold water filled with ice cubes in winter, ruthlessly splashing him awake.

The robber who held him down said to the driver of the van: "Why are you here at this time? You are half a minute late."

"There was a traffic jam on the road, so we were delayed for a while."

The co-pilot sitting next to the driver said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and get them all in the car quickly."

Jose and Maria were dragged into the van, and the robbers disguised as traffic police also got into the van.

The minivan turned around, turned around, and drove away along the way it came. It quickly disappeared, leaving only the few lonely police motorcycles and the car with two warm corpses lying inside.

Chapter 226 We have received strict training (3K)

Chambi Building, VIP room.

Jack was sitting on the sofa with a middle-aged Mexican man, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, Jack is no longer what he used to be.

He put on a carefully customized suit and combed his hair like an adult. The hairstyle was a standard slicked back, meticulous and not messy at all.

The leather shoes were polished and shiny.

Only the big gold chain hanging around his neck and the big gold bracelet on his wrist still gave him a gang vibe.

The middle-aged Mexican man sitting next to him was also wearing a straight suit, but his expression gradually became a little irritable, as if he had something on his mind.

The door of the VIP room opened, and Su Xiao, V, and Lucy walked in.

Jack and the middle-aged Mexican man stood up.

"Su, you're finally here."

"Jack, this is..."

Su Xiao indicated with her eyes that Jack should introduce his companions.

Early this morning, Jack called him and said that he had a very important commission that needed to be discussed in person.

The meeting place was not in Jack's office, nor in the afterlife.

It's Arasaka's Kanbi Building.

So Su Xiao didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she took V and Lucy and rushed over without stopping.

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Dante Gonzalez. Mr. Gonzalez, this is the president of Dawn Club, Su, whom I mentioned to you."

Su Xiao and Dante shook hands with each other and then sat down separately.

Lucy, who was sitting next to Lidya Su, had a blue light in her eyes.

Then he sent all the information he found about the person in front of him to Su Xiao.

Dante Gonzalez is no stranger to the North American continent because he is a well-known basketball star.

What is even more amazing than his skills is his legendary rise.

He was born in Heywood in Night City, a city full of crime and poverty.

In Haywood, although everyone can play basketball, Dante is the best.

He was also the first son of Haywood to escape the fate of "Haywood people can only join the Valentino Gang", and he was also the son of Haywood who escaped poverty by playing basketball.

Later, after nearly twenty years of dominance on the basketball court, Dante, who was suffering from injuries, finally chose to retire.

After retiring, Dante took over a tire company that had serious problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

He is not only talented on the court, but also talented in the business.

Under his management, he not only successfully saved the tire company, but also expanded its branches to many cities in California.

"Mr. Su, I won't mince words. The priest said you are the best person he knows. I hope you can help me solve the trouble I am facing now."

"I have a son who went to a city in Mexico called Tijuana with his little girlfriend a week ago. As a result, they were kidnapped by the Salamanca Cartel."

"I want you to help me get them out."

Su Xiao and the three people sitting opposite Dante looked at each other.

"Salamanca Group?"

Jack, who was sitting next to Dante, took the initiative to explain.

"The Salamanca Group is one of the most influential groups in the country of Mexico. In Mexico, the power, power, status, strength, and money held by the group are much higher than those of the government. Compared with the group , the government is just a decoration."

Although Jack was born in Night City, Mexico is his hometown after all.

After all, I am quite interested in and knowledgeable about my hometown.

V asked curiously: "Are there no law enforcement officers in Mexico?"

There is NCPD in Night City.

Although many people feel that the NCPD is unreliable, if foreign tourists are in danger in Night City, the NCPD is still the one they can rely on...or maybe the only one they can rely on.

Dante shook his head: "Most law enforcement officers are bribed, and those who dare to resist the group will disappear without a trace."

It sounds similar to NCPD, but more serious.

Lucy asked: "What about the army?"

Dante shook his head again and said: "Because the army has been strictly trained, they are the first to be corrupted by the group and the first to side with the group."

Good guy, Su Xiao called him a good guy.

Even the military has been corrupted.

No wonder Dante has deep misgivings about the Salamanca Group.

In fact, Su Xiao has heard a little bit about the groups that influence Mexico.

The groups that control Mexico are not corporations; they are really just like the gangs in the city.

It just over-developed and expanded into a behemoth that even replaced the company.

While Jack was talking to V and Lucy, Su Xiao didn't speak.

He had been watching Dante Gonzalez.

Although the other party hid it well, Su Xiao still discovered the anxiety and uneasiness hidden under the surface.

These emotions are not worried about his son, but like he is nervous about something else.

V noticed Su

Xiao looked thoughtful: "Su, what are you thinking of?"

"Well, I found something strange."

In the VIP room, the conversation stopped.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Jack said in surprise: "What? Did you discover something?"

Dante Gonzalez suddenly came to Heywood this morning and visited in person without making an appointment by phone.

He asked the priest to help him contact the strongest mercenary to help him rescue his son.

The priest asked Jack to contact Su Xiao and prepare to discuss the matter in the office.

But Dante felt that it would be more appropriate to meet in the VIP room of a high-end hotel.

That's why they are here.

Lidya Su rested her elbows on the table, crossed her fingers, and tapped each other a few times with her fingertips.

"As far as I know, the tourism industry in Tijuana is very developed. Although it has many other industries, it can also be regarded as a tourist city. If foreign tourists who go there will be kidnapped, then who will go there? Tourism? This move by the Salamanca Group is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the goose to seize the egg."

Jack frowned.

Since being taught by the priest, he has discovered that it is not that easy to join a gang.

In the past, he always thought that being a member of a gang was all about fighting and killing, but now he realized that there were a lot of things to learn when working in a gang.

In fact, he instinctively did not think that the senior management of the Salamanca Group were fools, but it was a fact that Dante's son and his girlfriend were kidnapped.

There was no way Dante would joke about something like this.

Therefore, he asked tentatively: "Could it be that the Salamanca Group didn't think so much?"

Lidya Su shook her head with a serious expression and said solemnly.

"If you can make a group as equal as other groups in Mexico, its top management will definitely not be brainless. If you still find it difficult to understand, then let me give you a simple example."

As he spoke, he took out a tablet, clicked a few times on the computer, and pulled up a map of Night City.

"Please look at where this is."

The others gathered in front of them. The styles and characteristics of each district in Night City were very obvious. They could be seen at a glance without having to think too much.

V said without thinking: "Japan Street in Westbrook."

"Not bad." Su Xiao nodded approvingly.

"Japan Street is equivalent to the combination of Las Vegas in the United States and Ginza in Japan. It is also a must-see for tourists visiting Night City."

Su Xiao spread her hands: "Can you imagine that the Tiger Claw Gang kidnapped tourists just to ask for ransom? If so, no one will come to Japan Street soon, and the industry here will also be very fast. It will become depressed.”

"No matter how stupid the Tiger Claw Gang is, they will never be this stupid. After all, it is their own interests that are harmed, and human beings, once their own interests are involved, no matter who they are, they will become shrewd."

Jack suddenly realized.

"I understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, rabbits don't eat grass. Tijuana is the territory of the Salamanca Group. Foreign tourists who travel and spend money in Tijuana are generating revenue for the group. They shape the city. It’s not too late to build a good reputation. We will not destroy long-term and stable tourism revenue for a mere ransom.”

Su Xiao snapped her fingers: "Yes, that's the truth."

V quickly glanced at Dante, whose face was getting a little unsightly, and added.

"Is it possible that they only target those tourists who seem to have money? As long as they kill a few people, they can make money and not offend many people?"

Lidya Su waved her hand.

"Is it that simple? The clay figures still have three points of energy. These rich people have been ripped off. Will they let it go after they go back? They will go to the media and reporters to tell their own experiences and spend money to pay trolls to smear Tijuana."

"The Salamanca Group is powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they can only dominate Mexico. Well, even if they dare to extend their hands across the border, then what?"

"If those foreign tourists are from Europe and Asia, would the Salamanca Group dare to send killers across the ocean to commit murder? Especially Asia, which is a world-famous mercenary forbidden area."

"Okay, even if you put this aside, even if the rich people don't retaliate, they will never come to visit you again after being angry. Think about it, if they don't come to travel, does it mean that they have lost a person? Big customers? Rich people’s consumption is much higher than that of ordinary people. There’s no objection to this, right?”

"People spend a lot of money. They don't look at the price of what they buy. They buy whatever they like and spend money on whatever they like. It's too late for others to coax such a benefactor father. Are you kidnapping him?"

"You made him unhappy. If he doesn't come next time, won't you be the one who loses in the end?"

Sitting on the sofa, Dante Gonzalez's face gradually became ugly, and finally he couldn't bear it and interrupted everyone's discussion.
