Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"David, where did you get such a great gun?"

Rebecca put her arm around David's and asked him in her usual coquettish tone.

"Uh, this is from Vito. He's a gun expert. Uh, I'll go ask him how much it would cost to modify another one."

Rebecca cheered, then reluctantly holstered the gun back into David's holster and asked.

"David, what's the name of your gun?"

David replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"Short, short and sharp, even ghosts fear it."

"Tch! That sounds awful. Don't forget to ask David for me too~"

After saying that, Rebecca left the shooting range to buy a soft drink.

Mann walked over to David and continued to instruct him on how to shoot.

“I spoke with Vito on the phone today and told him that the project was completed.”

David aimed and replied to Mann at the same time.

"What did Vito say?"

Mann corrects David's movements.

"He asked about your situation, and I said everything was fine, and you're currently undergoing special training."

David fired two shots, getting one step closer to the bullseye.

"Thank you, Mann. How's Vito doing lately? I haven't been able to talk to him much these past few days while I've been staying at the Cherry Blossom Market."

Mann paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said...

"His name is all over the valley; he's now the most efficient mercenary in the valley."

David was also taken aback, and after missing the target with his shot, he asked again.

"Mann, could you tell me more details?"

Mann showed David Vito's intermediary message.

Name: Vito

Team: Doctor-Patient Dispute Mediation Team

Team members: Vito, Jack Wells

Team prosthetics: The Pathfinder prosthetic eye, the ballistic co-processor, and subcutaneous armor (self-proclaimed, no record of prosthetic implantation).

Evaluation: Highly efficient and precise, adept at small-team infiltration and hostage rescue; team leader Vito is skilled in infiltration and assassination; the team possesses formidable firepower and powerful weapons of unknown origin.

Mann continued.

“I’ve met many edge walkers who suddenly appear, but without exception they all have the support of a company. I’ve never seen anyone like Vito before. They took on five commissions the day before yesterday, and as a result, all five commissions were completed and delivered yesterday.”

David tightened his grip on the gun; he needed to focus on training and make sure he didn't hold Vito back.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Jack, what is the goal of this commission?"

Jack's eyes were red, a sign that he was searching his brain.

"Annie Cornwall went missing 37 minutes ago. She was last located at the Fuji Bar, which is controlled by the Tiger Claw Gang. She is suspected of being kidnapped by the Tiger Claw Gang. The team needs to infiltrate the Fuji Bar to rescue the target. If the target is dead, bring back the body and clear out the Fuji Bar."

Vito examined the guns he had brought and asked, puzzled.

"Having made plans for his death after only 37 minutes of being out of contact? Who commissioned this?"

Jack didn't bring his hand saw, but instead brought two beginner pistols, both of which Vito had modified and named "Golden Fierce Woman."

"The middleman didn't say who the client was, but judging from this approach, it seems like something a company specializes in."

Vito had his weapons ready.

“Then let’s do it our way. Since the client has expectations, let’s not hesitate. After we finish this job, we have another one later. Both jobs are well paid. You can buy a new motorcycle.”

Jack carefully put the gun away.

“I think we need to find a hacker, otherwise we’re just playing blindly, relying purely on gut feeling.”

Vito handed Jack two electromagnetic grenades.

“That makes sense. We’ll have the old captain find someone for us and send them to you later. If that doesn’t work, I’ll place an order with Mann’s team in the next few days to borrow a hacker.”

The two got ready and headed towards the entrance of Fuji Bar.

"Hey, the bar's closed, get out of here."

The Tiger Claw Gang henchman guarding the gate showed off the weapon on his waist.

Just as Jack was about to speak, Vito swung a modified Shigure submachine gun from behind his waist and blew his underling's head off.

"What's the point of visiting a place if it's not open for business? Jack, the usual routine: go in, fire, find the people, retreat."

Jack pulled out the golden, fierce woman.

"Let's go! Mano, we're getting closer and closer to becoming a legend!"

Upon hearing the gunshots, the Tiger Claw gang members at Fuji Bar immediately went on high alert. Just as they pointed their guns at the door, an electromagnetic grenade flew in through the doorway.

Thump! Sizzle~

The electromagnetic grenade exploded, and those nearby fell down with arcs of electricity igniting their prosthetic bodies and weapons, while those further away had their prosthetic eyes flashed.

"Watch your eyes, Wuhu~"

Vito slipped into the bar, and Shigure unleashed a barrage of firepower. Vito modified his 50-round magazine to 125 rounds, enough to suppress a large group of enemies. Meanwhile, Jack's golden-haired ruthless woman took down the gang members who were standing there dumbfounded.

"Clear the enemy on the first floor. I'll break in from the left staircase. Jack, you go to the right!"

"Just you wait and see."

"Clear the stairs to the left, I'm moving towards the manager's office!"

"Enemy on the right flank. Electromagnetic grenade thrown. Vito, what's for dinner?"

"Anyway, I'm not eating fried noodles. I've arrived at the manager's office."

"The enemy on the right has been cleared and has reached the side door of the manager's office."

"Received, simultaneous intrusion in three seconds."

Just you wait and see!

Chapter 20 save yourself

It's a long-standing habit of the Night City gangs that when you raid a bar, the item or person you're looking for is most likely hidden in the manager's office.

Jack and Vito burst through the door, and the manager of Fuji Bar, who was being interrogated in the manager's office, immediately knelt down.

"Don't shoot! I didn't hurt her! I didn't hurt her!"

Jack stepped forward to inspect the target's condition, while Vito stepped forward and kicked the person in charge to the ground, saying...

"You can't say for sure. You'd better not try to hide anything about Anne Cornwall's situation!"

The person in charge fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands.

"She's fine, just that her signal was blocked. I haven't had a chance to ask her anything yet."

Vito restrained the person in charge and asked Jack.

"Jack, what's going on?"

"Jack released Anne," he replied.

“The target is not dead, and it doesn’t seem like a big deal. I have released the target.”

Anne Cornwall loosened her hands and feet, which were tied sorely, and thought to herself that it was a relief. In another hour, she would be transferred to the Tiger Claw Gang's stronghold, where she would probably be subjected to severe torture.

Anne looked around and asked.

"Just the two of you?"

Vito pursed his lips.

"Of course not, your Royal Guard is on its way from London, Your Highness."

Anne was speechless for a moment, then said something dryly.

"Kill him!"

Vito smiled.

"As you wish."

"no, do not want!"

boom!

The bullet pierced the man's palm and then pierced his skull.

Anne pulled out the inserted shielding chip and then made a phone call.

beep~ beep~

The call was answered quickly.

“Hey, Valerie, I messed up, this is a trap.”

Jack looked at Annie, while Vito connected to the computer in the manager's office of Fuji Bar, preparing to hack their Euro account.

"The scene has been cleared. I heard gunshots, so there shouldn't be any survivors."

"But! Uh, I understand, I'll go back right away."

After chatting for a few minutes, Annie ended the call and asked the two of them.

"Who's the leader among you?"

Vito answered casually while working on his black account.

"I am Vito, head and executive director of Vito Medical Dispute Mediation Group. Is there anything else?"

Annie's lips twitched.

"You did a good job. My boss wants your contact information. You can get a good bonus."

Vito's lips curled into a smile after he finished embezzling the money.

"Looks like I'm out of luck today. I should have taken more orders."

Vito handed over his business card, which Anne gently picked up between her index and middle fingers.

drop~

Vito's address book has two more contacts: one is Anne Cornwall, and the other is V.

Vito's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the familiar contact. It seemed this order was from the company's V team. He had just heard Anne mention Valerie, so she must be a female V.

"I don't usually take jobs from Arasaka, but rescuing a beautiful princess is an exception. It was a pleasure working with you. Jack, I'm off tonight to go check out the car."

Anne's first thought was that the middleman had leaked the information, but upon closer reflection, she realized that her boss wouldn't hire such an unreliable middleman, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

How did you know?

Vito opened the door and walked out of the manager's office; his voice drifted into Annie's ears.

"Your standard bows to Saburo Arasaka have created wrinkles in your clothes!"

Annie glanced down instinctively and immediately realized she'd been tricked.

"asshole!"

……

As Vito stepped out of the Fuji Bar, Valerie's bank transfer arrived, totaling three thousand euros. He couldn't help but whistle.

The two sat down in Delaman, and Jack asked.
