Santo Domingo, Valle District, Super Skyscraper H4.

Gloria woke up early in the morning and just opened the door and walked out, only to find Sasha coming out of the next bedroom.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Early~"

After saying hello, it was time to start a new day.

Gloria saw Sasha walk to the cooking area, picked up an apron and tied it around her body, and expertly took all kinds of ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare breakfast for the day.

She couldn't help but sigh a little, Sasha was too well-behaved.

Gloria, still dressed in light pajamas last night, got up and walked over to Sasha to help prepare breakfast.

Since being arranged by Tang Yu, Sasha has lived in Gloria's apartment these days, and the two have quickly become acquainted.

Since the apartment was small in size and had only two separate bedrooms, Gloria gave up her room to Sasha while she took David's room and borrowed it for a few days.

David hasn't been back for a while, he lives in the company when he's busy, and stays in a hotel when he's not busy.

Gloria asked as she peeled off the skin of the synthetic ham sausage as she looked at Sasha, who was chopping vegetables next to her.

"Are you self-taught?"

In the last few days of living together, Sasha would wake up on time every day, pack up and go to prepare breakfast.

Gloria, who was originally a little lazy, was embarrassed to continue sleeping, so she had to get up early to make breakfast with her.

So Sasha was fully dressed, and she was still in her pajamas.

She actually has a good impression of Sasha, not only is her hacking skills super good, but her combat ability is also very strong, but she didn't expect that she also has a good set of life skills, plus a young and delicate beautiful face, she can be called a perfect assistant.

Gloria is curious about her past and wonders how such a perfect girl grew up, but out of respect for Sasha, she never mentions it.

Sasha nodded seriously: "Well, Sasha's cooking skills are all self-taught, and he learned them step by step according to the materials and cooking procedures." ”

Gloria nodded thoughtfully, put the peeled synthetic ham sausage on the plate, and raised her hand to pull down the somewhat loose silk strap.

Sasha turned her head to see that Gloria was still wearing pajamas, so she smiled and reminded her, "Sasha can prepare breakfast." ”

When Gloria saw Sasha's smiling face, she inexplicably had a feeling of wanting to touch her cat's head, and she remembered that Tang Yu seemed to have touched her head like this.

As Mr. Tang's company assistant, only someone as good as Sasha can do it.

Gloria returned to her room, changed into her regular clothes and came out to help.

With the cooperation of the two, it didn't take long for a hearty breakfast to be prepared.

Sasha put two cutlery on the table, and when she saw Gloria washing up and coming over, she took the initiative to greet her.

"Let's have a meal."

Gloria smiled and said, "We're together." ”

The two of them sat down at the table and began to enjoy today's breakfast.

Gloria had just picked up a small piece of bread and put it in her mouth when she received a request for communication.

She smiled and apologized to Sasha politely, then turned her eyes and answered the phone.

Sasha couldn't help but think of Tang Yu when she saw the red-haired beauty in front of her answering the phone while eating breakfast.

She also sees Tang Yu answering the phone and dealing with some instant messages every day at breakfast.

Sasha took a few casual sips, feeling a little bored.

"I don't know what Mr. Tang is busy with?"

"Who's going to make breakfast for him?"

"Will it be at home again?"

She lives well in Gloria's place, and usually goes out to run missions and is responsible for protecting Gloria's personal safety.

Tang Yu considered Sasha's identity, and specially asked Lao Wei to prepare a pair of electronic fluorescent cat masks for Sasha, which can block the reading of facial information.

Every time Sasha goes out, she wears a cat mask to avoid being recognized.

She was actually very curious about the relationship between Gloria and Tang Yu.

Sasha can see from the incident entrusted by the Badlands last time that Tang Yu and Gloria have known each other relatively early, and their relationship is not ordinary, and the number and time of calls to each other are at the forefront of contacts.

She saw that Gloria's brows were a little furrowed, and it was estimated that this call should not be Mr. Tang, if Mr. Tang called, Gloria would signal her in advance.

Gloria receives a call from Mann.

Mann tells her that the commission to capture Jotaro has been completed, and it is up to her to deal with the rest.

Previously, Gloria had found out that the mastermind behind the disappearance case was Shoho Jotaro, but because there was no trace of the other party, she couldn't catch the victim.

After Tang Yu learned about it, he went to the Phoenix Club to gamble, which led to the shotaro of the law, and then he learned that he usually likes to hide in the secret base upstairs of the club, recording the dark super dream that cannot see the light.

Because Shoho Jotaro has a strong sense of secrecy, he has installed secrecy equipment in the secret base to isolate signal searches, so few people know that he is hiding there.

Tang Yu then transferred this information to Gloria and asked her to arrange the follow-up matters by herself.

After Gloria got the information, she communicated with the client of the Mox gang again, and the other party was willing to pay a high price to kidnap Shotaro Shotoro.

So, Gloria contacts Mann's team to work together to kidnap Jotaro Shobo.

And today.

Mann's team has completed the commission for the kidnapping of Jotaro Shoho, and is in the process of communicating with Gloria about the follow-up.

On the phone.

Mann said in a deep voice, "We have successfully captured the target, stunned him, and transported him to the designated location. ”

"In order to prevent being tracked, a shielding chip was inserted in his biological neural slot, what are you going to do next?"

Gloria asked, "Is the diving equipment still usable over there?" ”

Mann: "It's all ready. ”

Gloria thought for a moment and said bluntly, "Okay, I'll come over right away." ”

According to Mox's commission, after kidnapping Shoho Jotaro, he was transferred to a secret settlement site, and then handed over to Mox for processing.

Preparing the diving equipment is also a request from Mox, and Gloria guesses that they are most likely trying to hack into the Shoho Jotaro's neural network system to dig up more information.

After hanging up the phone.

Gloria immediately dialed the phone number of the Mox Gang to inform them of the successful kidnapping of Shoho Jotaro, and made an appointment to meet at a secret settlement.

After all this is done.

Gloria looked at Sasha and said seriously, "The matter of the Shotaro has come to an end, and we will set off now." ”

She had already told Sasha about Mox's commission, which was the reason for her stay in the house.

It was a quiet time, and the two did not encounter threats or retaliation from the Tiger Claw Gang.

When Sasha heard that he was leaving, he immediately got up and sorted out his equipment, put on a tactical uniform, put on a cat mask, and activated the anti-recognition function, and an electronic blue fluorescent cat covered all his face.

After the two of them cleaned up, they hurried to open the door and set off.

They took a taxi to a secret settlement in an abandoned apartment building on Watson's North Side.

After getting out of the car, they walked up the stairs.

Sasha paid special attention to the surrounding surveillance probes, and directly invaded and took over the surveillance system, so as to detect the surrounding anomalies in time.

The two arrived at a steel gate in the three-story corridor, and after the access control identification authentication, the door automatically opened.

This place is a settlement that Gloria has deliberately paid for to carry out inconvenient transactions, such as kidnapping.

She has been working as an intermediary for some time, and has found that many of the commissions are related to people, and in order to facilitate the placement of the target objects, several abandoned apartments in some areas have been selected and transformed into secret settlements, and this is one of them.

As soon as she entered the house, Gloria saw the large Mann and the shoho Jotaro tied to a stool, who had already fainted.

"How's the operation going, is it going well?"

Mann looked at them, especially the one wearing the cat mask next to Gloria, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Everything is going well, Qi Wei and Lucy hacked into the security system on the second floor of the club, and we took the opportunity to touch it from the path."

"I just saw that Shotaro Zhengfa finished recording Black Chaomeng and came out to smoke, so he was stunned and tied up."

"After the goal was achieved, everyone retreated in time and succeeded."

"Now this guy's subordinates should have reacted and are looking for people everywhere, probably alarming the Tiger Claw Gang."

Hearing that Mann's team was going well, Gloria was relieved that as long as their whereabouts were not leaked, everyone was safe for now.

"Okay, just leave it to me, and I'll deal with the follow-up things here."

After saying that, Gloria's eyes turned, and she transferred money to Mann to pay the commission fee.

Mann received the honorarium, looked at Sasha wearing a cat mask, and said boldly, "If you need help, just look for me." ”

Gloria thanked her and explained, "It is estimated that the Mox Gang is going to dive into the Shotaro of the Dharma. ”

"When we dig up the information about the missing people, we may trouble you to save people."

"Mox helped himself with the hackers and is on his way."

Mann nodded: "No problem, this guy should be able to dig up a lot of things in his head, you guys pay more attention to safety." ”

After the handover of the mission was completed and the commission was successfully completed, Mann couldn't help but look back and ask as he walked to the gate to leave.

"The one next to you was arranged by Mr. Tang, right?"

Apparently.

Mann has recognized Sasha and knows that she is wearing a cat mask to hide her identity.

Gloria gave him an affirmative answer.

Sasha's gaze was on Mann through the fluorescent mask, and she had already recalled some of her memories, but she couldn't say a word.

This is Tang Yu's order, and it is to protect her.

Mann replied in the affirmative and turned away, the rest of the matter was between the intermediary and the financier, and he was not fit to be present as a mercenary.

Sasha glanced at Shotaro and scanned his biological, revealing that he was not in danger of life, but was only in a state of fainting temporarily, and the shielding chip was still working normally.

The two waited for a while at the secret settlement, and the access control alerted someone to visit.

Gloria checked that the other party was coming, it was the three girls of Mox, led by the little sister with two balls on her head and a baseball bat on her shoulder.

Next to her stood a beautiful woman with short rainbow hair, wearing a one-shoulder camisole and four roses tattooed on her neck and arms.

The floodgates open.

The three Mox girls walked straight in, and the baseball girls glanced around the room and saw Gloria and Jotaro shotaro tied to the chair.

"Good job, this scum is what we're looking for."

With that, the baseball girl turned her gaze to them, looked back and forth between the two of them a few times, and then looked at Gloria steadily.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be Lady Gloria."

It was also the first time that the girls of the Mox Gang had met Gloria herself, and their commissions had been communicated by phone before.

When Gloria saw that the principal had arrived, she said bluntly: "That's right, someone has already brought it to you." ”

The baseball girl gave up her position and introduced Gloria to the rainbow short-haired beauty next to her.

"This is Judy, and she's asked her to talk to you about the rest of this matter."

Judy took two steps forward and thanked Gloria.

"Thank you this time."

After saying that, Judiyi's eyes rolled and he paid Gloria the commission fee.

After paying, she turned to look at the fainting Shoho Jotaro and said coldly.

"How many innocent people have been killed by this scum, this is what he deserves, and today is the day when he should repay the price!"

In the course of her investigation, Gloria also learns of what Jotaro has done, and is disgusted by his despicable and dirty bloody methods, so she agrees with Judy's words.

"You're right, this scum deserves a taste of hell."

"He has so much innocent blood under his hands, and he must pay for it with blood."

"I've investigated, this scum picks on the unarmed street girl to attack, the methods are extremely cruel, and it's not a pity to die."

Judy looked at Gloria in some surprise, but she didn't expect that she hated this scumbag too.

In fact.

Before Judy found Gloria, she also found several intermediaries to investigate the girl's disappearance.

But those middlemen either don't take it, or they just give up half of it.

Only Gloria's side not only accepted the commission, but also successfully investigated the truth and caught the culprit Shoho Jotaro.

She also understands that there is indeed a relatively high risk in investigating the commission of the Tiger Claw Gang's top management.

Because the Tigerclaw Gang is notoriously protective of their shortcomings, even the lowest members of the gang will suffer strong retaliation from the entire Tigerclaw Gang if they are bullied.

This is also the reason why many people would rather go to the scavenger territory to get people than provoke the Tiger Claw Gang.

Compared to grudge-prone but loosely structured scavengers, the Tigerclaw are more of a group gang in the strict sense of the word.

This made Judy's affection for Gloria can't help but add a few points.

The most important thing is that she feels that Gloria is bloody, unlike ordinary middlemen who are full of money and power.

At this time.

The five girls unanimously decided to give the righteous law Jotaro some ruthless color.

The little lady held a baseball bat in her right hand and poked Jotaro Masa's face.

Soon.

Shoho Jotaro, who was slapped in the face by a hard object, opened his eyes in a daze and gradually woke up.

He saw the five girls wearing fluorescent masks in front of him, his brain was a little dazed, and he remembered that he seemed to be recording Mewtwo on the second floor of the Phoenix Club just now, and he was suddenly attacked and fainted, and then he opened his eyes and came here.

Shoho Jotaro glanced around, and immediately realized that he had been kidnapped, and the biological signals in his body were blocked, and he could not get in touch with the outside world.

He smiled contemptuously, "You guys belong to Mox, but anyone who has done a little bit of backtracking should know the consequences of doing this." ”

"If you don't want Mox to suffer more severe revenge, I advise you to stop now, otherwise."

Boom!

Before Shotaro finished speaking, a baseball bat smashed into his face, knocking out a few of his teeth, and his mouth was full of blood.

The little sister said coldly: "This stick is for Mox." ”

Shoho Jotaro slowly twisted his head, forcibly endured the pain, smiled sinisterly, and was just about to speak with blood foaming in his mouth.

Another blow came and smashed into his arm.

Click!

The sharp pain from the broken bones made his facial expression extremely distorted.

The stick was wielded by Gloria, and she said coldly, "This stick is for the girls." ”

Next, several people took turns holding baseball bats and bombarded the non-lethal parts of Shotaro Shobo.

After a long time, he had already beaten him to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he looked dying.

Sasha scanned to confirm the situation, and said in a deep voice: "His biological signs are still fluctuating within the normal range, and he can be injected with adrenaline to enhance his vitality." ”

Shoho Jotaro's face was full of blood, and he said vaguely: "Heh, then, those girls, they died miserably. ”

"With your little means, it's impossible to find the missing white strip."

Obviously, Shotaro didn't intend to explain the details at all.

Judy took the baseball bat, put it in her hand and turned it upside down, aimed directly at his roots, and said coldly.

"Very good, your mouth is indeed hard enough, but we will have to see if your brain is so hard later!"

After speaking, she raised her stick high and slammed it down, hitting the vital point.

Eggshells shattered.

Shotaro's whole body was pierced by severe pain, his eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't even make a sound in pain, and he fainted again, keeping his head down and motionless.

After teaching Jotaro the Shoho, Judy decided to move on to the next step.

She had long expected that Shotaro might not explain anything, so she specially arranged for Mox to help hackers dive into his brain neural network to find relevant information.

Gloria had already prepared her diving equipment in advance and plugged in the data connection cable for Jotaro Shoho.

The other side.

Mox helped the hacker undress and lie down in the icy bath, with a fiber optic cable attached to the deep dive interface behind his head.

Soon.

The dive begins.

Shoho Jotaro may not have expected such a day, the loading ICE level is average, the deep diving process is relatively smooth, and with Sasha watching from the side, it is basically impossible to have an accident.

Waiting.

Judy folded her hands in front of her, looked at Gloria and asked, "How long have you been a middleman, I've never heard of a good player like you in Night City." ”

Gloria admitted: "I haven't been in this business for long, and I'm still a little worse than a real middleman. ”

She felt that this was also telling the truth, after all, from the beginning to the present, she couldn't do without Tang Yu's support.

Without Tang Yu, there would be no her today.

And she feels that she is far from growing to the point where she can independently support the title of middleman.

Judy couldn't help but smile a little: "Don't be too modest, this just shows that you have the talent to do this." ”

"You're not the same middleman who gets into the money, at least in my opinion, you're really good."

Seeing Judy praise herself without hesitation, Gloria was a little embarrassed.

The baseball girl next to her added with a smile: "Judy is Mox's baby, and the person who can be recognized by her is definitely good." ”

Gloria just smiled, and then asked, "Shoho Jotaro is a high-ranking member of the Tiger Claw Gang, and kidnapping him may attract retaliation from the Tiger Claw Gang." ”

The little sister said angrily: "They dare?!" Mox wasn't afraid of them. ”

Judy looked a little worried, but in fact, it was mainly her idea to kidnap Shoho Jotaro.

At that time, when Susie refused to take in those girls standing on the street, Judy realized that the disappearance case might involve the Tiger Claw Gang, but she didn't expect it to be the scum of Shotaro Shoto.

Judy didn't want Mox or Lizzy Bar to be hit, but she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.

Even Aveline had advised her not to meddle in the affairs of the girls outside, as they were not Morx's people.

Judy also understands these truths, but she really can't stand by and watch, and every day when she hears the news that the girls are missing one after another, she feels that her heart is pinched.

"Let's take one step at a time, but this scum must pay for what he did!"

Gloria nodded.

If you don't get rid of people like Shotaro, those girls won't be at peace for a day.

This scum is like a cockroach in Night City, killing one will soon create a new litter.

But at least the girls will be safe for a moment before they pop up.

Suddenly, Judy receives a request for communication.

Evelyn?

After signaling to everyone that there was a call, she walked out of the gate and answered after making sure that there was no one around.

Aveline's tone was a little reproachful, and she asked eagerly, "Judy, is the matter of Shotaro related to you?" Now the Phoenix Club and the Tiger Claw Gang are all on the move, searching for him everywhere! ”

Judy also held back a breath of anger in her heart: "What about the righteous law Jotaro, Night City has one less scourge for him, what impact can it have?" If they can find it, let them find it, anyway, there is no one like this in Night City! ”

Aveline said anxiously: "Judy, you don't know how deep the water is here, Shotaro has a lot to do with the upper echelons of Night City, he has too many secrets, you will kill yourself!" ”

She seemed to feel that what she said was not clear enough, and the other party did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so she added again.

"Now it's not just the Tiger Claw Gang, but even the NCPD is out to look for clues about Shotaro Shoto."

"And the Tiger Claw Gang has already taken Susie Q away, and it is estimated that they will find out about you soon."

"If you don't want to involve Mox, Lizi, and yourself, hurry up and clean up the tail and let the people go!"

Judy was so angry that she didn't want to say anything when she heard this, and hung up Aveline's phone.

She saw a message from Lizi's boss Susie Q in the contact list, asking her to keep the life of the righteous law Jotaro, otherwise no one would be able to hold it back if the matter became bigger.

"Damn!"

"The dregs of a Night City have disappeared, and so many people are stirring up."

"The girls are missing, and I don't see any of you moving your compassion!"

Judy felt a desperate irony.

After a moment of silence.

She got up and returned to the house, and the dive was over.

The Mox gang of hackers stepped out of the icy bath and told everyone all the information they had dug up.

It turned out that there were still a number of missing girls, who were being locked up in an abandoned factory container, where some of Shoto's subordinates were watching.

When Gloria learns, she contacts Mann and asks them to get to the container's destination as soon as possible to rescue the kidnappers.

After doing all this.

Everyone's eyes fell on Shotaro Shotoro, and how to deal with him became the final problem.

Judy said in a deep voice: "You guys go first, just leave this scum to me to deal with." ”

The little baseball girl asked puzzledly, "Judy, is something happening?" Let's kill this scum directly and go back to Lizibei. ”

Judy explained a little helplessly: "Xiao Ai got the information over there, and now the Tiger Claw Gang is looking for the Right Law Jotaro everywhere, and Susie has gone to negotiate with the Tiger Claw Gang and wants to save this scum." ”

The little baseball girl scoffed: "Damn, Susie is still so soft-boned, it's a big deal to fight with the Tiger Claw Gang, who is afraid of whom?" ”

Gloria on the side immediately heard the clue, and she knew that the current owner of Lizzie Bar was Susie Q.

In other words, this commission caused a split within the Mox Gang, with one group supporting Judy and the Tiger Claw Gang, and the other group of people representing Susie who wanted to compromise with the Tiger Claw Gang.

She then said, "But if you kill this scum, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to go back to Lizzy, and the Tigerclaw Gang won't let you go." ”

The little baseball girl immediately said indignantly: "Just because of this scum? The Mewtwo of Lizzy Bar is all supported by Judy, and Lizzy would not be called Lizzy without her! ”

Judy also knows the consequences of killing Shoho Jotaro.

The meaning of Suzie's message is that if she doesn't let Jotaro survive, she will be sold to the Tiger Claw Gang to calm the situation.

Judy didn't want to involve the other two Mox sisters, so it was a big deal that she killed Shoho Jotaro alone and hid in another place.

Just as Judy hesitated, Sasha suddenly noticed something unusual.

She found that the surveillance probe downstairs of the apartment captured the footage, and the street gradually gathered crowds, among which there were many Tiger Claw Gang, with tattoos on their arms, and fierce looks.

"There's a situation, the Tigerclaw Gang has found here."

Everyone was taken aback.

Not tonight
