Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

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

Vito checked his weapons and prepared to storm in from the second floor.

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

"T-bug, prepare for intrusion."

"Invasion in progress, puppet release in progress, camera will project marked enemy highlights onto the Crossroads Division, prepare to receive."

……

Jotaro Seiho has edited another film, which is of high quality and combines creativity with visual effects.

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

He turned on the monitor connected to his computer. The Phoenix Hotel, which he had painstakingly built, was doing good business today. The guests in the private rooms were engrossed in his dream.

"Today is a really nice day."

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

He enjoys filming Mewtwo. 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."

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, the champagne he ordered still hadn't arrived. He frowned and prepared to call Kenji Koizumi to urge him.

"That idiot! He's taking so long to even grab 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 thud.

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

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

"Who are you?"

"A mercenary, you are part of my mandate."

Jōhō Jotaro fired a shot at the man's face, but the man merely tilted his head slightly without changing his stance, as if he knew the shot would miss.

Jotaro Seiho 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, and said.

"You're Square Head, no doubt about it. I've watched the original videos countless times. I can recognize you at a glance if you stand in front of me!"

Vito shrugged.

"Okay, I underestimated how twisted 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's development is too slow, 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 scumbag henchmen!"

Jotaro Seiho readily transferred the money.

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

Vito shattered Jotaro Seiho's kneecap with a single shot.

"Stop with that pretentious artsy attitude. Who do you think you are? Arasaka Yorinobu? You think you can stop the Arasaka people from coming after me? I'm going to go after the Arasakas myself."

The intense pain brought Jotaro to his senses, and he gritted his teeth to activate 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?"

Jōtaro 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 be able to go back, but do you know what I do know?"

Jōtaro Shōhō shook his head.

"I know, I've never respected you perverted vampires, and I've always looked down on Arasaka, whom you consider a god. People in suits may not be clean, but you trash are filthy. I'm not afraid of getting your filthy 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 and destroyed 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 joint.

"You vile, disgusting scum! The trashy Mewtwo you filmed is just like you—a moving pile of shit!"

Bang bang bang!

Four shots dislocated Jotaro Seiho's shoulder.

"Your filthy hideout is well soundproofed, but I don't like it. I want the whole of Night City to hear your screams, you sadistic psychopath!"

Boom!

The large steel cannon that Seiho Jotaro was equipped with was removed.

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

Jotaro Shoho screamed on the ground, too exhausted to roll around anymore.

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

"When you inflict abuse on others, be prepared that one day you will be retaliated against in the same way."

boom!

"Stop using art to beautify your inner perversion; you dark, despicable thing, you've learned a word and you're using it everywhere!"

boom!

"I don't have the power to bring the dead 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 urinated and defecated, and his body was drowned in his own excrement.

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

Having done all this, Vito began gathering 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 out anything usable and then 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.
