Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"Hey, Vito, we've made progress on those two people you're looking for."

Where?

"They took their girlfriends to the Phoenix Nightclub next to the seaside canal in the Kabuki district."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I can confirm it. My men have checked it several times."

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you once I find the person."

"Since you still have some sense of justice, I can give you a discount."

"Stins, are you now linking even your sense of justice to money?"

"There's no way around it. When you're a cop in Night City, you can't be a simple, honest, unlucky, poor guy."

After ending the phone call, Vito walked toward the location Stins had given him.

"Phoenix Nightclub? What the hell does this bastard have to call himself a phoenix?"

Once he arrived in the vicinity, Vito carefully investigated the nearby alleys, the back door of the nightclub, and the surrounding buildings.

Vito found three infiltration points, and he found a power grid interface nearby, connected to it, and uploaded a magic puppet.

beep~ beep~

"Hey T-bug, did you see the Grid data I sent you?"

"I saw it."

"Help me analyze the abnormal electricity usage and unauthorized wiring at Phoenix Nightclub."

"OK, wait half a minute. Hmm, okay, I'll send you the data."

Vito immediately noticed the warning message on the third floor of the Phoenix Nightclub indicating an abnormal power consumption of a high-power processor.

It seems they recently moved the location where they filmed the Mentos movies here.

"Bug, hack into all the cameras at Phoenix Nightclub. Don't worry about getting caught, these guys won't live past tonight anyway."

Two minutes later, T-bug replied.

"The security cameras on the third floor were deliberately turned off, and I found that there was something obstructing the view on the third floor, so there must be something important there."

"Okay, stand by and wait for Jack to finish."

Chapter 60 Crime and Punishment

“It’s all set, Vito. Susanna just put the drill in that peddler named Lenny’s knee and he confessed. He said the person filming these things is called Jotaro Seiho, and he’s at the Phoenix Nightclub right now. I’ll send you the location.”

Vito checked his guns, preparing to storm the second floor.

"Okay, Jack, drive to Phoenix Nightclub, I'll clean up this mess."

"T-bug, prepare to hack."

"Invasion in progress, puppet release in progress, camera highlights marked enemy on the Crossroads Division, ready to receive."

……

Jotaro Seiho has edited another film. This film is of very high quality, combining creativity and visual effects.

He stretched, took a sip of his now-cold coffee; work always made him lose track of time.

He turned on the computer-connected surveillance; the Phoenix Hotel, which he had painstakingly built, was doing well today, and the guests in the private rooms were engrossed in his Hyperdream.

"Today is a really good day."

Jotaro Seiho felt today was a day to celebrate. He was going to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate the official birth of Phoenix Nightclub and his new career.

He loves filming Dream, and if his hobby and career can go hand in hand, then Night City is paradise for him.

He got through to Kenji Koizumi on the phone.

"Hey, bring me a bottle of champagne, then come up and take the data so we can start production downstairs."

Jotaro Seiho lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his office chair. The song he loved to hum slowly came to a tune; it was the classic music from the last century, "Singin' in the Rain."

"I'm singing in the rain~"

After finishing the song, he frowned, noticing that the champagne he had ordered hadn't arrived yet, and prepared to call Kenji Koizumi to urge him.

"This idiot! He's taking so long to even get a bottle of wine!"

squeak~

The sliding iron gate was opened.

"Why are you so slow? Don't you think you're being inefficient, Koizumi?"

Boom!

Something was thrown onto the table in front of Jotaro Seiho with a muffled thud.

When Seiho Jotaro opened his eyes, he saw it was Koizumi Kenji's head.

He quickly took out a letter of humility from the drawer and pointed it at the uninvited guest.

"Who are you?"

“A mercenary, you are part of my mandate.”

Jotaro shot at the man's face, but the man just tilted his head slightly and didn't even change his steps, as if he knew the shot would miss.

Jōhō Shōtaro stared intently at the person in front of him, his voice trembling slightly.

"You, you're Square Head?"

Vito could hear the suppressed excitement in Jotaro Seiho's voice amidst the trembling.

"No, I'm just a mercenary."

Seiho Jotaro dropped the gun, his eyes burning with determination as he spoke.

“You’re Square Head, no doubt about it. I’ve watched the original video countless times. As long as Square Head stands in front of me, I can recognize him at a glance!”

Vito shrugged.

"Okay, I underestimated how perverted you are. Have you seen a doctor about your illness?"

Jōtaro Shōhō was taken aback.

"Illness? No! This is the pursuit of art. Everything we do is creating art! It's just that the public is developing too slowly, otherwise my work would be enough for me to stand on the Palme d'Or stage and give a speech!"

Vito didn't want to waste any more words with the madman in front of him, so he grabbed Jotaro Seiho by the neck and shoved him in front of the computer.

"Transfer the money to the chip, damn it, it cost me a fortune to find your two lowlife henchmen!"

Jōtaro Shōhō readily transferred the money.

"Work with me, and you'll have more money than you can spend. You have a certain quality, that aura of death that's captivating! With me mediating, the Arasaka people won't bother you anymore."

Vito shattered Jotaro's knee with a single shot.

"Stop with that pretentious artsy attitude. Who do you think you are? Arakawa Yoriyuki? You're telling the people from Arakawa not to come looking for me? I'm the one who's going to go and cause trouble for Arakawa."

The intense pain brought Jotaro to his senses, and he gritted his teeth and activated the pain modifier.

"You can't beat the company, that's Arasaka! Their Tiger Claw Gang can give you a lot of trouble. You'll be afraid they'll break down your door and kill your family in front of you, even when you're sleeping!"

boom!

Another shot shattered the kneecap of the other leg.

Vito released Jotaro Seiho, who knelt down and leaned on the desk.

"You said you've watched the original video countless times, so did you see that I was scared?"

Jōtarō Shōhō shook his head.

Vito crouched down and slapped Jotaro Seiho's face with his sidearm, Euro.

"I don't know how I got here, nor do I know if I'll ever go back, but do you know what I do know?"

Jōtarō Shōhō shook his head.

“I know, I’ve never respected you perverted vampires, and I’ve always looked down on Arasaka, whom you worship as a god. People in suits may not be clean, but you trash are filthy. I’m not afraid of getting your blood on me; I’m afraid you’ll hide in some stinking sewer and I won’t be able to find you.”

After saying that, Vito punched Jotaro's pain modifier, and Jotaro lay on the ground writhing in pain.

"Tiger Claw Gang? Shit Swamp Gang!"

Boom!

Two shots shattered Jotaro Seiho's elbow joints.

"You lowly, disgusting scum, the garbage Mewtwo you filmed is just like you, a moving pile of shit!"

Bang bang bang!

Four guns ripped off Jotaro Seiho's shoulder.

"Your filthy burrow is well soundproofed, but I don't like it. I want the whole of Night City to hear your screams, you sadistic pervert who loves to torture others!"

Boom!

The large steel cannon mounted on by Jotaro Seiho was removed.

"Come on, tell me how it feels now."

Jotaro Seiho screamed on the ground, too exhausted to continue rolling around.

Vito gave Jotaro a powerful stimulant injection, letting him enjoy the moment.

"When you abuse someone, be prepared that one day someone will retaliate in the same way."

boom!

"Stop using art to beautify your inner perversion. You dark bastard, you've learned a word and you're using it everywhere!"

boom!

"I don't have the power to bring people back to life, but I do have the power to send you to hell!"

Boom!

Jotaro Seiho died. This trash who liked to torture and kill others was in so much pain that he vomited and defecated. His body was drowning in his own excrement and urine.

Vito coldly watched all this, then took out the Saratoga "Captain" and smashed Jotaro's body into pieces as if venting his anger.

After doing all this, Vito began to gather clues and information.

The girls from the Mox gang were kidnapped by Koizumi and Kawaguchi. They were taken to the second and third floors of the Phoenix Nightclub to film Mewtwo. There was no savior, and no one survived. After they died, the cleaners called by Jotaro Shoho emptied them of anything usable and stuffed them into the incinerator like firewood.

This disgusting criminal machine, fueled by human lives, carried criminals like Jotaro Seiho through the streets of Night City.

Chapter 61 Worry gets worse

None of the people at the Phoenix Nightclub today are clean; they're all perverted enthusiasts from gangs.

Vito suppressed his anger and unpacked Jotaro Seiho's files.

Beep~ Beep~

"Hey, Vito, I've arrived."

"From the front, use Dragon's Breath Bullets. Don't miss any guests or bartenders. I've already cleared the second and third floors. Watch out for the stairwell; I'm coming down from there. Avoid accidental injuries."

"it is good!"

The Kabuki district was a bit noisy tonight, with two faint screams in the air, but the mournful cries of wronged souls rose and fell.

After dealing with the Phoenix Nightclub, the two drove back to the Liz Bar. In the car, Jack looked at Vito, who was relaxing and listening to music, and smiled.

"Mano, we finally caught this madman! Otherwise, we two brothers would have developed chronic illnesses!"
