Chapter 33: Two Months Later
An Jie chatted with a few people for a while and then left.
This time I came here mainly to see if Jack was seriously injured and nothing else.
What he didn't expect was that Jack would introduce his friends to him, though.
This move is obviously treating An Jie as his own.
But he'd love to have a few more friends.
At least we might be able to get together for a drink or something when we have some free time in the future.
And Jack also passed Regina's test.
After last night's battle, he successfully gained a firm foothold in the Watson District, but it would not work without An Jie's guarantee and recommendation.
Because middlemen generally don't give foreign mercenaries some decent work.
Therefore, with Anjie's recommendation, Jack can win the status with his own strength.
Otherwise, Jack would have no business when he came to Watson.
And he didn't want to steal business with the brothers of the original Valentino gang, so it was better to start over in a different place.
also happened to meet An Jie and got in touch with him.
So Jack's luck is pretty good.
……
In this way, two months passed in a hurry, and it can be said that no middleman has ever approached him for business during this time.
Even the unruly middlemen on the street did not dare to approach.
It can be seen that Rogge's energy is also large enough......
The Vortex and Tigerclaw Gang, as well as the Kidney-Cuttering Party, were all happy when they heard the news, because they knew how much they had done in this time.
How many people reward their lives, there will be no An Huang to take the order~
Greatly increases the safety factor of gang members.
But the NCPD officers were out of luck.
During the period when Anjie was not taking on business, the crime rate increased very quickly!
There are several street fires almost every day.
There have been countless casualties, and even the probability of police officers being killed has nearly doubled...... And the Watson district has also been made miserable, and the citizens are complaining.
This situation was soon known to the higher-ups.
even alarmed a certain boss of the NCPD and called Regina specifically.
Asked An Jie why there was no movement during this time.
It makes Regina uncomfortable......
However, Anjie is gone, and some other mercenary opportunities in Watson are coming, and Jack is also appreciated by Regina, who often sends business.
However, Jack didn't disappoint Regina either.
Although every time I came back, I was scarred, but the business was also successfully completed.
Jack gets fame and money, and Regina fulfills her employer's commission.
Even in addition to the fact that his own strength is not as suffocating as An Jie's, the other Jacks are more appreciated by Regina.
Because he never does things, he only does his own job~
Don't be impulsive to mess with anything.
It can be said that Regina thinks that there are almost no more troublemakers in Night City than Anjie, and everyone is strictly following the rules.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Ritz Bar......
"Oops! It's really not me blowing with you, mano~ I was really fierce at that time! ”
"My two guns are like smart weapons that shoot the enemy's head with the same precision! It's so overwhelming that they don't even dare to raise their heads~"
Jack picked up his glass and bragged.
His face had turned a little red from the alcohol.
Because he has taken orders a lot during this time, he has accumulated a lot of money, so he dares to come to Liz's side to drink.
This is not just a business done today.
In the evening, he pulled Angel out to drink and chat.
"Then you're not the same, you're still shot~ Victor has asked me to persuade you more than once."
"Don't take orders too hard, take a break for a while."
"Every time you come back alive, you always have a scar all over your body, and you have to remember that you have a mother on your head to take care of."
An Jie took a sip of wine and said lightly.
He didn't think Jack had made a mistake in his choice.
It's okay to pay some price for yourself to be able to live a good life, if one day death suddenly befalls you.
That's at least enough of addiction~ It's not in vain to come to this world.
But that's not for someone like Jack.
Because he has a mother alive above him.
"You're right, mano...... I haven't been back for almost two months. ”
"I should rest for a while and go back to see my mother."
"Why don't you come with me? My mom and I absolutely warmly welcome you as a guest~"
Jack smiled and extended a warm invitation.
However, An Jie smiled, waved his hand and refused to invite:
"I'll forget Jack, your mother is so polite that I can't accept it."
"I used to be able to keep me for breakfast when we didn't know each other, so it would be terrible if I went back with you~"
Jack also knew about his rejection.
His mother was indeed warm and polite to her friends.
After all, friends are the son's support when he is away.
After the relationship is better, maybe she can save her son's life~
"Okay then~ By the way, today should be the last day for the middlemen to boycott you together."
"I'm here to wish you a prosperous business, mano ~ Rogge is really bad."
Jack picked up his glass and smiled in congratulations
"That old woman Rogge really has a lot of energy, and she really has the ability to directly make me unable to do anything for two months."
"Of course, this is not her initiative to make a request, it is initiated by the intermediary people."
"So I can't kill all the middlemen in Night City, can I~"
An Jie shrugged her shoulders and clinked glasses with him and smiled.
From the words, it is clear that he never took these intermediaries seriously.
He doesn't care if he makes money or not.
It's just that repeating something every day makes him feel a little bored.
Talk to Victor when you have nothing to do.
Or hit a target at Wilson's shooting range and fight Jack for two rounds.
In the evening, I went to the Ritz for two drinks.
These are the things An Jie has done the most in the past two months, how can such repetitive things make him feel not bored......
"That's right~ If we kill the middleman, we won't even have to eat."
"Those guys are still somewhat useful, aren't they? Haha~ But you're also the first person who dares to make trouble in Rogge's territory. ”
Jack smiled and said to An Jie next to him.
And An Jie immediately heard the metaphor of this......
"What do you mean...... Is there really anyone who learns that I don't give Rogge a little face? Haha~"
An Jie laughed out loud in surprise.
"I didn't lie to you~ At that time, Rogge was so angry that he directly asked people to bury the short-sighted guy alive in the garbage mountain outside the city."
"No one has dared to emulate you since, after all, you are special."
Jack also laughed in response.
Don't do that stupid thing if you don't have the strength to break all the rules.
It's like An Jie, although there is nothing wrong with people.
But it was also boycotted by the intermediary for two months.
"Okay~ It's almost okay to go home and rest, and the bartender comes to settle the bill!"
An Jie waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"Sir, Susie told me that she came to treat her, do you want to ......"
"Don't! It's the wine money, and we're gone, Jack. ”
An Jie didn't wait for the bartender to finish, put down the banknotes and left directly, he had money and didn't need others to treat him.
