Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

"Huh? Me?"

Vito strolled leisurely into the living room, fiddling with the euros in his hand.

"I came in through the main gate."

Chapter 104 A Reason for Why It Came This Way

"Get out! You filthy mercenary!"

Pan Xianming's eyes were cold, as if his game had been disturbed.

Vito sniffed his clothes, then casually shrugged and said.

"Dirty? There's no smell on your clothes. But I can smell the stench of your filthy soul. Is this how you guys pick up girls? Tiger Claw thug and Old Tang are just like that, bragging."

After mocking Pan Xianming, Vito then spoke to Valerie.

“Let’s go, V. If I had arrived any later, your little golden statuette would have been turned into a specimen. His words sent chills down my spine even as an old man.”

Vito's ability to say he came in through the front door meant he had taken care of all the bodyguards outside.

He hacked into the skyscraper's maintenance elevator and went straight to the top. Then, he used his prosthetic eye to scan and mark several high-ranking Tiger Claw gang members. What followed was the assassination Vito knew best.

The six bodyguards patrolled seemingly closely, but in reality, each was watching their own area. Vito observed for a few minutes and figured out the order of the assassinations.

The first guy was stabbed in the neck by Vito with a punk knife. The second guy was patrolling around the corner when Vito walked past him and casually left the punk knife in his heart.

Vito then walked toward the next person, and the bodyguard was struck in the forehead by a throwing knife the moment he saw Vito.

Then came the fourth one, who was slacking off and smoking near the floating parking space when Vito snapped his neck.

The fifth and sixth men stood guard on the left and right sides of the doorway, and were killed by Vito with two shots.

These bodyguards look intimidating, but they're actually not even as good as the hired guards from security companies.

Vito had just sneaked into the house, intending to check for surveillance devices, when he heard Pan Xianming's nauseating remarks.

Vito didn't try to alert the freak first. He carefully scanned the area with his prosthetic eye and concluded that the pervert hadn't installed surveillance cameras or turrets in the house.

Then the scene just now happened.

Pan Xianming sat back down on the sofa, forcing a smile, but his eyes remained cold.

"Let's talk. I can give you more than you can imagine."

Vito couldn't stand the old guy showing off any longer, so he started mocking him.

"Even the security guards are thugs from the Tiger Claw Gang. We really can't imagine what you can give us. V wanted to be the leader of Arasaka, but all you gave V at most were two cans of Glitter and a plate of Black Mewtwo."

Sometimes I really admire you guys, you idiots with your tiger claws, always finding reasons to justify your perversions. You're one, and so is Jotaro Seiho.

Pan Xianming's eyes turned red as he activated the Sianweistan, and he launched a mantis blade at Vito.

Valerie, who had been watching Pan Xianming make his move, immediately released a puppet that hindered movement. In less than 0.1 seconds, Pan Xianming was pinned to the table.

Pan Xianming activated his superhuman prosthetics and forcefully broke free to continue attacking Vito, only to see a fist growing larger and larger in his eyes.

Duang!

Click!

Pan Xianming leaned back and smashed the glass table.

His cheeks were sunken, blood was spurting from his mouth and nose, and a prosthetic eye had flown onto the sofa.

Vito blew on his fist, praising Valerie.

"Wow, V, no wonder you can solo Arasaka Tower with your hacking skills."

Valerie gave Pan Xianming a disgusted look, turned and left. She needed to report to Jenkins and prepare for a real counterattack.

"Let's go."

boom!

Pan Xianming's face was shattered by Euro bullets, and his other prosthetic eye fell out.

"Let's go, the trauma team should be on their way."

In Night City, the first choice for escape is the elevator. Vito and Valerie are watching news about illegal human experiments using biotechnology inside the elevator.

Valerie broke the silence between them.

"Who sent you?"

Vito answered casually while watching the news.

“The Princess of London, she placed an order with the middleman and I just happened to take it.”

"The London princess?"

Valerie paused for a moment, then realized that Vito was talking about Anne.

"Thank you so much this time. I'll send you the extra reward. Why didn't Jack come with you?"

Ding~

The elevator doors opened.

Vito stepped out of the elevator.

"I've been enjoying being a lone wolf lately, so you'd better save this money in a little stash. Who knows, you might get fired by Arasaka someday."

Valerie watched Vito's retreating figure, and she seemed to sense that something was wrong with him.

Vito never expected that his casual reminder would be noticed by Valerie so keenly.

He drove dangerously to an underground parking garage in the city center, parked the car, opened the trunk, and then got into a Villefort while whistling.

"You did a great job. Your efficiency is so high that I've almost lost count of how many tasks I've assigned you. Here are the materials you requested."

Thomasino showed Vito the materials in the briefcase, and Vito nodded. The bodyguard then closed the briefcase and put it in the trunk of the dangerous driver.

"You're even better than I thought, but you still stubbornly want to go it alone?"

Vito did not answer Thomasinho's question.

"Has the heavy hammer been found?"

Thomasino lit a cigar, slowly taking his time.

"Stop smoking. Why do you people always pretend when you're talking about serious matters? Your cigar looks like a genuine hand-rolled one. I can even see a hair in it."

Thomasino put down his cigar with a gloomy expression. This Vito was good in every way, except for his mouth.

"Adam Hammer should still be in Night City, but he's hiding in the shadows and hasn't shown himself. We've also sent people to keep an eye on the ship you mentioned, but no one has found Adam."

Vito curled his lip, thinking to himself that the company dogs had one trick after another when it came to exploiting ordinary people, but now they were dragging their feet on finding someone like Adam Hammer.

This is why Vito misunderstood Tommasino. Adam Hammer didn't appear as frequently as Vito thought, nor was he the head of security. Adam Hammer's whereabouts have become so mysterious over the years that he has become an urban legend.

"Okay, remember to let me know if you find him. Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home for dinner."

Thomasin took out a chip.

"This is the next task. The Rome report went well. The next step is to get someone in the city council to make room for you. You know how to do that, right?"

Vito didn't take the chip and got out of the car directly.

"You brain-dead idiot, I'm not your killer. If you waste my time with this kind of thing again, I'll blow up your house."

After saying that, Vito drove off in his dangerous car.

Tommasino handed the chip to his subordinate, picked up a cigar, and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly remembered Vito's words and threw the cigar out of the car.

"Did he discover the person watching him during his mission?"

Thomasin asked his men.

"We found him. He came out and threw a scorched earth grenade into the car."

Tommasino signaled to the driver to start the car.

"Working alone, not dragging his colleagues into it, and not being monitored—tsk tsk tsk, what an unruly young man. What a pity, he's just a hothead."

Upon returning, Vito eagerly opened the materials provided by Zeta Technology and began assembling the prosthetic body's capacity chip via a connection to the robotic arm.

Night enveloped Night City, and beams of light shot into the sky, making Night City resemble a prison.

Vito suddenly had an idea: could combining prosthetic volume chips with biotechnology behavioral chips offset the side effects of behavioral chips?

Vito began to try his experiments, and before he knew it, it was already dawn.

He stretched and walked out of the room, where he saw Liying having Xiaocha accompany her for practical combat training.

Ever since Vito was injured, this girl has been training relentlessly, as if she's always preparing to help Vito.

Vito handed Li Ying a clean towel to wipe her sweat.

Liying nuzzled her head against Vito's clothes.

"Are you done with your work?"

"Now that we're done, let's go home."

After closing the repair shop door, Xiao Cha ran back to the logistics center.

Vito and Liying were driving home when they suddenly saw people racing cars on Qing Teng Road.

Vito remembered Li Ying's racing days.

"Would you like to play?"

Chapter 105 Tokyo Drift

The neon lights of Qing Teng Road were torn apart by the roar of engines, and the xenon headlights of modified sports cars pierced the night of the city.

The road surface was littered with engine oil stains and discarded parts, and the sides were crowded with street thugs, gamblers and car enthusiasts who were yelling and laughing wildly. This was the wildest underground street race track in Night City, where the rule was to win the race by any means necessary.

Vito also saw an acquaintance here; it was the person he met on his first commission in Night City.

Vito got out of the car, and Li Ying sat in the driver's seat.

"Hey, Fernandez!"

Vito called out to an acquaintance.

Fernandez, sitting on the roof of the car, heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Vito, looking quite surprised.

"It's you! Your name is Vito, right?"

"Yes, you're here to participate in the competition?"

Fernandez nodded.

"Want to join in the fun?"

Vito raised his hand and transferred five hundred euros to Fernandez.

"Send me a map of the route, and please have the host register me as well."

Fernandez jumped off the roof of the car, beaming with joy.

"No problem, what are your registered names?"

“Liying and Vito.”

"it is good!"

As Vito sat in the passenger seat, he saw Li Ying drive the car onto the track and get ready. In that instant, her usual gentleness vanished, replaced by the sharpness and focus unique to a race car driver.

Vito sent the route to Li Ying, casually adjusted the radio, and relaxed back in his chair, accompanying the girl beside him on this pure speed extravaganza.

The host's countdown was full of passion: three, two, one!
