Bai Ye and Ilsa sat on the comfortable sofa in the box. The holographic screen in front of him was showing the life-and-death battle between the two players, and the audience below was still cheering.

At this time, the two players could see that they were already a little tired, their physical strength was gradually exhausted, and their speed was a little slower than just now. I was sweating a lot.

Bai Ye's gaze withdrew from the game and looked at the entire box. In front of them were freshly opened champagne, which had been prepared for them by two strong men just now.

"Some?" White Night asked Ilsa.

Ilsa nodded, and Bai Ye poured a glass for herself and Ilsa, and slowly tasted it.

White Night has been using alcohol to suppress Johnny Silverhand for a long time, and he is very used to this kind of thing.

He watched as the two strong men in the ring fought frantically. It was so calm in the box. Suddenly there was a wonderful feeling.

At this point, Ilsa suddenly spoke.

"The Black Blood Gang is the gang that controls this entire neighborhood."

"In addition to this neighborhood, there are quite a few other places. The Black Blood Gang also got involved. However, this is a special place, it is the base camp of the Black Blood Gang. That's where they started. ”

"As you should have seen earlier, similar to the animal gangs in Night City, they also like to hone their bodies, inject steroid potions and even more violent potions to turn themselves into more powerful creatures."

"They're passionate about sparring and fighting, and of course that happens with just cold weapons or on a hand-to-hand basis. Otherwise, the Black Blood would have been left without anyone for a long time. ”

"These people are constantly fighting in the streets, fighting with their own people, fighting with people from other gangs, fighting with sparring robots...... It's part of everyday life for them. ”

"These traits are too similar to those of the Animal Gang in Night City. Therefore, there are many people who think that the Black Blood Gang is a branch gang developed by the Animal Gang. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ye nodded secretly. He had speculated in his mind, almost identical.

"But there are some differences between the Black Bloods and the Animal Gang. These people from the Black Blood Gang are not particularly rejecting cyberprosthetics, and they will still install them when needed. For example, the two people fighting in the ring below. ”

Also, I finally got a lot of prosthetics from Night City, and I was able to experience the latest technology, so there must be a lot of people who can't help but install it. Bai Ye remembered that the people who had damaged their prostheses just now outside probably had broken their prosthetics during the discussion and were going to the prosthetic doctor to repair them.

"The previous leader of the Black Blood Gang, his name was Joel."

"Joel used to be the same as you, a person that Su Jingtai admired very much."

"At that time, when he appeared in the 21st district, he was just a poor gangster, poor and white, no different from the beggars he saw on the street. No one notices him, and no one cares about him. is such a person at the bottom. ”

Joel mingled with a crowd of ragged refugees. When Su Jingtai's car was driving, he saw Joel and fell in love with him at a glance, thinking that he must be a talent. Joel was then picked up and returned to the company. ”

Ilsa suddenly said this, which made Bai Ye stunned.

What does that mean? Why did you suddenly introduce Joel, the Black Blood Gang and the former gang leader? It does have something to do with what they are doing today. But it's not that big.

Ilsa doesn't talk very often, and it was really hard for her to say so many words suddenly.

Bai Ye looked at Ilsa in surprise: "Why did you introduce this kind of thing at this time?" ”

About the Black Bloods. If Ilsa wants to introduce her, there are opportunities along the way. In the apartment of the Hongxing Building, there is also a lot of time to talk.

Why didn't you say it then, but choose now?

And, why was the former gang leader Joel introduced, and not the current gang leader? There's a good chance they're dealing with the current gang leader.

The white night was full of questions that Ilsa said. I feel that Ilsa suddenly said this to herself, which is somewhat inexplicable.

Ilsa did not answer his words directly. just looked at Bai Ye calmly, and said lightly, "Don't you want to hear it?" ”

Bai Ye thought in his heart: "What kind of little sunflower class has started?" ”

However, he was still a little curious about the Black Blood Gang, after all, it was the first gang he came into contact with after coming to District 31.

Anyway, the waiting time is nothing to do, and it's good to listen.

Bai Ye nodded, motioning for Ilsa to continue, "You speak." ”

Ilsa continued: "What happened later was that Joel changed from an outcast gangster to a subordinate of Su Jingtai's key training point. ”

"He is smart and quick to do things, and it didn't take long for him to become Su Jingtai's right-hand man from an ordinary employee. and made great contributions to Su Jingtai. ”

"By Su Jingtai's side, Joel learned a lot and helped Su Jingtai a lot. Later, Su Jingtai's business empire was already very solid, and Joel proposed at this time that he wanted to return to his hometown and create his own business. Su Jingtai agreed. ”

"In the end, Joel returned to his hometown of District 31, after a long absence, with a large sum of money and equipment."

"Here, he established the Black Blood Gang, controlled a large area, and became a force to be reckoned with in District 31."

This story can be regarded as telling the history of Joel's fortune.

After a lot of hard work and twists and turns, Joel successfully completed a magnificent transformation from a refugee to a gang boss.

"It's quite inspiring." White Night commented.

He didn't expect that behind the creation of such a seemingly reckless organization like the Black Blood Gang, there would be such ups and downs.

It seems that everyone who can mix up in the troubled times should not be underestimated.

And this also shows how the Black Blood Gang and the Su family are related. It turned out that their former leader was Su Jingtai's assistant. No wonder the gatekeepers respected them as soon as they saw the Su family's badge. It seems that this is one of the Su family's connections in District 31. And the relationship is very hard.

Ilsa continued: "It's not over yet. ”

"A lot of people know about it. Some curious people asked why Su Jingtai chose Joel. Among so many refugees, all of them were ragged and thin-skinned, and they couldn't tell each other apart. Why did Su Jingtai choose Joel? ”

After Su Jingtai heard this, he laughed heartily.

He said that he liked Joel's eyes.

"Joel's eyes are very special. It was a deep look that stood out like a wolf, even in the midst of the crowd, among the refugees suffering from hunger and misery. It was this kind of look that made Su Jingtai like it very much. ”

Hearing Ilsa say this, Bai Ye's heart moved slightly.

This story is really legendary.

Joel was a refugee, and was appreciated by the nobles because of a look, and then ascended to the sky in one step, which is something that only happens in the dreams of many people, but it really happened to Joel.

From nothing, to high status. This is the turnaround life that many people dream of. It's just that those people are fantasy and Joel's is real.

In addition, Su Jingtai is also very discerning. The so-called hero doesn't ask where he comes from, Su Jingtai can not care about Joel's refugee status, directly choose him, and train him as his deputy, which can see that he is indeed magnificent.

Thinking of Su Jingtai taking the initiative to help Bai Ye, Bai Ye admired this person's strength even more.

To be honest, Bai Ye couldn't do anything to Su Jingtai now. The relationship between the two of them is just that Bai Ye knows his daughter Su Wan.

But the two only met and said a few words. Su Jingtai decided to help Bai Ye. There is no need to pay anything for the white night. And Su Jingtai paid a lot here, not only helping him prepare supplies, but also letting Ilsa, who has the ability of [Transformation], to help Bai Ye.

Is this kind of behavior the same as helping Joel at that time, investing in White Night?

Ilsa looked at Bai Ye: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

There was a slight hint of questioning in her sea-blue eyes.

Ilsa rarely took the initiative to talk to Bai Ye like this, let alone her opinion on this kind of story, and her behavior made Bai Ye slightly stunned at this time.

"Is this testing me?" Bai Ye thought in his heart.

Maybe Ilsa suddenly said this, is it what Su Jingtai meant? Or maybe it's Ilsa's test of her partner, whether she can trust herself in all aspects.

Bai Ye thought about it a little and recalled the impression of Su Wan's father, the richest man in the sea, and the old fox Su Jingtai with an impenetrable layout.

This person is indeed very good at reading people. Before he met him, Su Jingtai had already chosen to help him, which showed that he had already judged Bai Ye and thought that it was completely okay to help Bai Ye. It will even pay off in the future.

There is also Johnny Silverhand on White Night, Su Jingtai is nominally a member of Johnny Silverhand's wildfire organization, but he also sees that Johnny Silverhand is basically a madman who wants to destroy everything, and he can't be trusted.

In addition, Su Jingtai knew very well how innocent his daughter was, and he didn't tell Su Wan at all about becoming a player, all kinds of plans, and even Ilsa. Facts have proved that he is indeed very accurate, if he tells Su Wan any secret, the consequences may be unimaginable.

There are also all kinds of things that can become the richest man on the coast. can show that he has an unusual vision and sees people very accurately.

In this way, Su Jingtai is indeed a master of reading people. Even if it is a bit exaggerated to say that the eyes that value Joel are a bit exaggerated, there should be no problem in valuing Joel's temperament.

After all, Joel, a person who is unwilling to accept his fate, must have a very firm and extraordinary temperament.

"I think Joel should have really had the temperament to fight and fight at that time, so he was favored by Su Jingtai."

Bai Ye thought for a while and said.

Ilsa was noncommittal and continued to speak: "The truth, in fact, is like this. ”

Joel was actually the illegitimate son of a powerful person in District 31, and there was chaos in District 31 at the time, and his identity was almost known by the powerful family. The powerful could no longer protect him, so they could only let him take refuge in others. ”

"The powerful and Su Jingtai used to have a good relationship, so they asked Joel to go directly to Binhai City to join Su Jingtai."

"Joel could only bring letters from powerful people and millions of dollars to Su Jingtai."

Su Jingtai saw the face of the powerful, of course, he chose to take Joel in, and promised to let him develop well enough. This is not only for the sake of feelings, but also for the sake of Joel's father's connections, which is very important. ”

"Su Jingtai is such a high-status person, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him around him. Suddenly there is an extra person who has never appeared, Su Jingtai must also give him an important position, how can this be said? ”

"Joel's true identity must be kept secret. Then he can only make up a story to cover up his secret. ”

"For the sake of face, adding the purpose of publicity, Su Jingtai made up such a story and let Joel officially come to the forefront."

"After all, there's no one who doesn't love legends. Isn't it? ”

After Ilsa's truth was spoken, Bai Ye was speechless for a while, and almost choked on his lungs with a sip of champagne. He coughed a few times before he recovered.

It turns out that this is the case behind the legendary story?

Bai Ye thought to himself: "Su Jingtai, this guy is really an old fox, and he is very scheming. In order not to be caught with flaws and tricks, even this kind of thing has to make up an illusion. ”

He couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and when he heard Su Jingtai's words in the future, he had to distinguish himself. There is not much truth in this man's mouth. The real purpose of doing things is also confusing and incomprehensible.

At this time, he looked into Ilsa's eyes and found that when she said this, when she saw Bai Ye's cough and embarrassment, her eyes and expressions did not fluctuate, and she was still so indifferent and quiet.

Only then did Bai Ye remember that Ilsa was really like an emotionless doll, without any expression and tone of voice.

But when she said this, she obviously meant to be teasing.

Otherwise, could it be that she said this in order to make herself wary of Su Jingtai?

She could tell Bai Ye the truth of the matter directly, but she chose to tell the truth first, let Bai Ye guess, and then tell the truth.

was obviously joking with Bai Ye, but I don't know why, seeing Bai Ye's embarrassed appearance, not only did she not laugh, but she also acted as if nothing had happened, indifferently.

If someone else had made this kind of joke, they would have laughed a long time ago.

Looking at Ilsa's crystal side face, Bai Ye's heart suddenly rose to the meaning of teasing, could it be that she was really unmoved by anything?

During the period of time he and Ilsa, no matter what happened, Ilsa was able to remain calm and indifferent, and there were hardly any mood swings.

They encountered a lot of things along the way, and Ilsa's attitude towards these emergencies was only one: calm.

She seems to have a calm emotional shell all the time, hiding her true self and real emotions in the deepest part of her heart, and only using the prepared mask to communicate with others.

What exactly must happen for Ilsa to break her shell and reveal a hint of mood swings?
