Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 105 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 interrupted.

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 statue would have been turned into a specimen. His words sent chills down my spine even as a grown man."

The fact that Vito could say he came in through the main gate 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 then figured out the order of assassinations.

The first guy was stabbed in the neck with a punk knife by Vito, and 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 on 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, positioned on the left and right sides of the doorway, 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, preparing to check for surveillance equipment, when he heard Pan Xianming's disgusting remarks.

Vito didn't alert the perpetrator first. He carefully scanned the house with his prosthetic eye and finally concluded that the psychopath hadn't installed surveillance cameras or turrets inside.

Then the scene I just witnessed happened.

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

"Let's talk. I can offer you things you can't even 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. What you can give us is truly unimaginable. V wanted to be the leader of Arasaka, but all you could give V was two cans of glitter and a plate of black sunglasses."

Sometimes I really admire you guys, you idiots with tiger claws, always finding excuses for your perversions. You're one of them, and so is Jotaro Seifu.

Pan Xianming's eyes turned red, and he activated the S'anweistein, unleashing a mantis blade as he charged towards Vito.

Valerie, who had been watching Pan Xianming make his move, immediately released the Impediment Puppet, and in less than 0.1 seconds, Pan Xianming was pinned to the table.

Pan Xianming activated his cybernetic body's limit and forcefully broke free, wanting to continue attacking Vito, but he saw a fist growing bigger and bigger 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, that's awesome. No wonder you could solo the Arasaka Tower with your hacking skills."

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

"Let's go."

boom!

Pan Xianming's face was smashed 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 elevator is the preferred mode of transportation for escaping. Vito and Valerie watched news reports 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."

"A London princess?"

Valerie paused for a moment, then realized that Vito was referring to Anne.

"Thank you so much this time. I'll send you an extra tip. 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. You'd better save this money in a little stash, because you never know when Arasaka might fire you."

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, who keenly observed his change.

He drove recklessly 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."

Tommasino showed Vito the materials in the briefcase, and Vito nodded. The bodyguard then closed the briefcase and put it in the trunk of the dangerously driven vehicle.

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

Vito did not answer Thomasino's question.

"Has the heavy hammer been found?"

Tommasino 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."

99

Tommasino put down his cigar with a gloomy expression. 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 corporate 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 shows that 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."

Thomasino took out a chip.

"This is the next task. The Romano report went smoothly. The next step is to get someone from 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.

"Cerebral palsy? 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 a dangerous manner.

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 then threw the cigar out of the car.

"Did he discover who was watching him during his mission?"

Thomasin asked his men.

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

Thomasino 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, just a hothead."

Upon returning, Vito eagerly opened the materials provided by Zeta Technologies and began assembling the prosthetic capacity chip by connecting it to his robotic arm.

Night enveloped Night City, and a beam of light shot into the sky, making Night City resemble a cage.

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's injury, this girl has been training relentlessly, as if she's always preparing to help Vito.

Vito handed Liying a clean towel to wipe her sweat.

Liying rubbed her head against Vito's clothes.

"Are you done with your work?"

"We're done with work, let's go home."

After closing the repair shop door, Xiao Cha ran back to the clinic to watch a movie.

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

Vito remembered Li Ying's racing experiences.

"Would you like to try it?"
