"But I can't refuse, at least I can't get rid of Arasaka right now."

V shook his head bitterly, and his original heroic face also brought a little sorrow, losing the appearance of a strong woman before.

How she didn't know she was working for the devil, but if she didn't, she would lose everything she had now and start from scratch.

If she loses everything she has now, then what are the two years of hard work that she has been working hard for after graduating from Arasaka Gakuin and joining the company directly?

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and at this moment, the waiter came over with a drink, and when he saw someone coming, V stopped complaining and said casually: "Okay, don't talk about these troubles, let's make a few glasses first." ”

"That's right!"

Jack nodded approvingly, and said to the waiter who had put down his glass, "Gracias, mamita. ）”

Then Jack picked up another glass of wine and gestured: "Old-fashioned agave, with pomegranate juice and lime, and forget about this bad thing after drinking it." ”

Then Jack looked at Xia Yu again and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ordered three glasses of wine, but it should be okay to have a drink." ”

"You've said so, can I still refuse?"

Xia Yu spread his hands, opened the mask on his chin with his left hand, picked up a glass of wine with his right hand, and gestured to V and Jack.

Seeing that Xia Yu was willing to give himself face, Jack was even happier, and he also turned his head to look at V.

V picked up the wine glass weakly, thought about it, and didn't come up with a suitable toast word, so he could only say casually: "That...... For this. ”

"What are you talking about? That's a toast. ”

Hearing V's bizarre toast words, Jack babbled, "You can raise a glass to your mom, your sisters, and the sexy little wildcat you met in the bar, but 'this' - which one is special?" ”

"Maybe that's what it's for!" Xia Yu gestured to the wine in his hand: "Raise a glass for this wine." ”

V didn't follow the two of them to talk about this, she had already drained the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Jack and Xia Yu had to look at each other helplessly, and then toast together.

"For this!"

The two drank the wine in the glass together, Jack slowly swallowed the wine, and exhaled a mouthful of wine comfortably: "It still tastes like this spirit with fruit juice, which can make people forget the bitterness for a while." ”

"It's a pity that it's only for a moment, and now it's back to the reality of this bullshit." Jack put down his glass heavily, picked up the chip that was placed on the table, and gestured.

Looking at this chip, V was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have a choice, if I refuse, they will take everything away, leaving me with nothing." ”

After determining that V could not refuse the task, Jack looked at Xia Yu again.

Facing Jack's silent inquiry, Xia Yu said in a brisk tone: "I don't care, because I am fearless, even if I am asked to assassinate Arasaka Saburo, I dare to go, but unfortunately no one can afford to pay this price." ”

"Awesome!"

Jack only thought that Xia Yu was bragging, but the other party at least dared to think about it, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

"This job is not a lot of money, after all, this is a fatal task, the fewer the number of people, the better, and it is not to assassinate others, but to investigate secretly."

Jack played with the chip in his hand, and said while thinking: "A driver who dares to race in hell, a hacker with good skills, and a lone wolf killer who is willing to be the queen......"

As he spoke, Jack's voice lowered, and then he looked at Xia Yu beside him: "This task...... It's as if you can do it alone......"

He remembered that this man was not only a lone wolf killer, but also a powerful hacker, a stealthy actor who was like a ghost.

This is an all-round mercenary!

So he's now an intermediary?

Jack was in a trance for a while, the middleman was not involved in the commission, if he didn't go to this mission, then he would really become the middleman between V and Xia Yu.

It was completely different from his wishes, he didn't want to be an intermediary.

Thinking of this, Jack looked at Xia Yu a little nervously, if the other party really wanted to take on this task alone, then he had nothing to say.

Xia Yu on the side was reminded by Jack, and suddenly reacted, he seemed to be able to complete this task alone.

And the reason why he became a lone wolf is also because one person can complete the actions that the team can complete, so he will always be a lone wolf at ease.

If he didn't know the truth about Taipingzhou, and Metal Gear wasn't a company he secretly established, then he might really take on this task alone.

After all, even if the mission fails, he can escape smoothly alone, and it is not so convenient to form a team.

"Ahem, I'm not as powerful as you think, you can still take care of you when you go together, there is a lot of power in numbers."

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Xia Yu waved his hand and said modestly, if he really wanted to go alone, then he could swagger into Taiping Continent and ask the handsome guy Jack for information.

But to do so is tantamount to revealing the information of your own company to the enemy, isn't that purely adding to the blockage of your own employees? Although he is a boss who doesn't care about things, he won't make trouble for his own company.

Therefore, the mission of this investigation must fail, and it must fail more smoothly.

Jack, who didn't know what Xia Yu was thinking, was relieved to hear that the other party was willing to take him, and at the same time had some secret joy.

It's steady, it's steady.

With the basis of the last cooperation, Jack can be said to be full of confidence in Xia Yu, even if he can only be a driver, but if he can mix a big task, what is not satisfied.

And if you can get a share of the payment, then you should be even more grateful.

"Hermana, a bottle of champagne."

Thinking of this, Jack waved to the nearby waiter and said that he should drink champagne when he celebrated.

V looked at Jack's sudden change of mood in surprise, and asked a little strangely, "Open the champagne now?" We haven't started yet, let alone succeeded. ”

"You don't understand, our hand is already stable, hahaha, tomorrow I will let you feel what it means to lie down and win." Jack laughed.

Of course, that's what he said, but he certainly wouldn't really lie down on this mission, and he wasn't so shameless yet.

"Drink, after drinking, go and prepare, and gather and set off early tomorrow morning!"

Infected by Jack's emotions, V's originally sullen mood gradually dissipated, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a relaxed smile.

Xia Yu, who opened the champagne together, felt the atmosphere gradually lighter, and his conscience couldn't help but ache faintly, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

My brother plays with me sincerely, I play with my brother with my brain, brotherhood is stronger than water, and I pretend to be deaf when my brother has an accident.

Fortunately, he didn't have Wei Wu's legacy, otherwise it wouldn't be so simple.

When my brother was there, I called my sister-in-law, and my brother didn't shout treasure when I was there, I'm sorry, brother, it was my sister-in-law who took the initiative.

……

The next day, dawn.

Entrance to Taiping Chau.

At this time, Taipingzhou has long been different from what it used to be, and no one cared about the loose gate that entered and exited casually, but now there are security measures, and the loose gate has been tightened again.

"It's so tight, it's inconvenient to get in."

Jack drove V and Xia Yu to the former entrance of Taipingzhou, and then looked at the security guard at the gate of Taipingzhou with some embarrassment.

The security guards were all members of the Animal Gang, as they could tell from their size.

But there's no doubt about it, as the members of the Animal Gang are strong and proficient in all kinds of martial arts, making them ideal for serving as security guards and janitors in clubs and bars.

They don't have a specific scope of activity, but their usual "business" is to defend the various locations in Night City.

"I didn't come here very often before, because this is the territory of the Voodoo gang, and the Haitians here don't welcome any outsiders."

Jack explained to the two behind him as he parked the car in front of the door, and the members of the Animal Gang who were security guards walked over, as if to check the car.

"Tsk, I have to think of a reason, I hope I can fool the past."

Looking at the approaching security guards, Jack had a headache, he didn't know how to make up reasons, he just hoped that these stupid big guys had bad brains.

"Let me do it."

V, who was sitting in the back seat, said, and at the same time opened the car door and got out of the car, as an employee of the company, she often overwhelmed people, and she was the most suitable for this situation.

"Who are you? What do you want to do here? ”

Seeing V get out of the car, the security guard walked over directly and questioned V.

"Hurry up and open the fucking door!"

The unceremonious words directly stunned the questioner for a moment, and then replied unhappily: "Which green onion are you?" Who did you date? How did I not know there was such a person as you? ”

"Heh, it's better to tell me your name first, and then I'll go to your boss to complain about you, my affairs are not something that a small role like you can get in the way."

Looking at V's swaggering appearance and wearing a suit that only employees of the company wear, the security guard who came to question was really frightened, and was a little speechless for a while.

V took the opportunity to launch an offensive and stretched out his finger and tapped at the security guard who came over: "What's wrong?" Do you want me to give it a call? If you delay the cooperation process, you don't want to stand here anymore. ”

"Me, uh...... I'm not ......."

"Then get out of the way and stand your guard well."

Under V's continuous attacks in one go, the security guard, who was completely crushed by the momentum, had to move sideways: "Of course, yes, I ...... Uh, sorry, really. ”

Then the security guards who were blocking the way got out of the way, and V got back into the car and quietly gave Jack a look.

Jack, who received the signal, did not speak, started the car directly, and then drove into Taiping Island under the gaze of those security guards.

After walking a distance, Jack turned around and admired V excitedly: "It's so majestic, V, you look like those real company executives, do you see the appearance of those security guards?" It's so funny hahaha. ”

"I was originally a senior member of the company."

V's mood is also much better, it's a good sign that the start is going well, and it would be even better if it could go so smoothly in the future.
