In American comics, all your teammates are the main characters and bosses

Chapter 166: Soha is a kind of wisdom

As Armstrong's arm, which was thicker than his waist, fell on his shoulders, Cannon felt a tremendous pressure all over his body.

This pressure was not only because of Armstrong's shoulder on him, but also because of Armstrong's words and the fear in the eyes of the people around him.

Almost immediately, Cannon asked: "I'm fine, but I just came back and don't know what happened here... Why did Morton die like this?"

"I don't want to either." Armstrong shook his head in disappointment, came to Morton's body, lit a cigar helplessly and said:
"To be honest, I am still very interested in the Sixth Street Gang. The reason is that they are, like me, pure patriots—and they are soldiers!"

"You know, I was in the U.S. Navy, and it reminded me of my youth. So I pitched my idea to this guy named Morton."

"But unfortunately, he rejected me mercilessly."

Armstrong sighed, as if he was somewhat frustrated by Morton's decision. He then raised his foot and crushed Morton's head, which was still filled with fear and confusion.

As the head exploded, the red and pink brain matter and the prosthetic part of the head exploded all over the ground. The sudden noise made everyone present shrink their necks involuntarily, but no one dared to act rashly.

"This guy called NCPD gave him a lot of confidence."

Armstrong said calmly, "I asked, and it seems that NCPD means the Night City Police Department? This guy is the director? I don't know much, but I don't know why he has the courage to face me."

"They seemed to want to negotiate with me? In the name of Ye's Company or something like that. This made me irritated, so I showed my reasoning and ideas."

Armstrong took out a cigar and rubbed his fingers to light it. Then he looked at the cannon and said calmly:

"Now they are all dead, and you are the biggest boss of the Six Street Gang. So, do you still remember what I said to you yesterday?"

What did you say last night?
Of course, Cannon remembered it, because less than a day had passed. You know, it was already evening when David sent his mother to the black clinic. And it was late at night when the doctor finished the operation. It was only about ten hours since Armstrong and Cannon were separated.

And if I remember correctly, Armstrong's idea was simple... to become the boss of the Six Street Gang.

As he was thinking about it, a strange look appeared on Huopao's face, and he seemed to be unsure whether he should say some words or not.

Seeing Armstrong's nonchalant expression, Cannon took a deep breath and said, "Of course, sir. If you want to take control of the Six Street Gang, you can do it at any time with your power... But this is also what I am puzzled about."

"explain."

"Why do you value the Sixth Street Gang so much?" Cannon asked. "Compared to other gangs in Night City, the Sixth Street Gang is only a medium-sized gang. Although most of the Sixth Street Gang is composed of veterans, with your current reputation, it's just a matter of words for you to establish a gang."

"I don't have time to select, so I'll just use what's available." Armstrong smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Are you trying to tell me what to do if the Sixth Street Gang isn't what I thought it was?"

"......Yeah." Cannon nodded.

When it comes to who to work for, Cannon has a flexible moral bottom line. Or, in other words, the style of Night City is whoever is stronger is the boss. Cannon doesn't like Morton's way of doing things, so he also finds a backer for himself. But judging by the destructive power shown by Armstrong... Cannon doesn't mind that his real boss becomes Armstrong. But Cannon is more worried that if the Six Street Gang is not as good as Armstrong imagined, will Armstrong abandon them directly? Or even destroy them directly?

Armstrong could sense the artillery's concerns, but he didn't care. He just grinned and said, "Wasn't what I said in the residential area obvious enough?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the cannon was stunned. Armstrong was still smiling, but this smile looked so cold, even full of numbness and boredom.

"I don't care what the Sixth Street Gang is like. I am just very satisfied with the overall attitude and personnel composition of the Sixth Street Gang."

"So you don't have to worry, because if the Sixth Street Gang is different from what I imagined, then the Sixth Street Gang will be optimized soon."

Armstrong said: "Members who don't fit my philosophy will be eliminated naturally in the process. In the end, naturally, it will become what I want."

"Well, the name Six Street Gang is too bad. Let's change it to the Desperadoes and announce it to the outside world as the World Marshal Company. I don't intend to live in the shadows of this city."

"..."

Looking at the indifferent Armstrong in front of him, and listening to the name Armstrong changed for the Six Street Gang, there was silence for a moment, but in the end, Cannon just took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

It was obvious that Armstrong didn't care what he thought. He only asked because of their brief encounter yesterday.

If I continue to be so ignorant...

Thinking in his heart, Cannon said: "Of course there is no problem with you being the boss, but Sixth Street... But as far as I know, there are many spokespersons for other companies in the Sixth Street Gang, just like Morton, he is the spokesperson for Ye's Company, so the relationship between the Sixth Street Gang and NCPD is so good."

"how about you?"

"I work for military technology... or more precisely, I cooperate with it." Cannon explained:

"In addition to military technology, Kantō and Arasaka are also connected to the Six Street Gang. If you don't deal with them, I think it will be difficult for you to completely control the Six Street Gang and become a desperado or a world marshal."

Will Cannon directly confessed his backers and did not hesitate at all on this matter.

Experience tells us that if you play both sides, you will end up being in trouble. Instead of doing this, it is better to just choose one side and go all in.

As for the power displayed by Armstrong, as long as this power is real, then there will be absolutely no problem for me to go all in.
