from night city
Page 368
One time he finally plucked up the courage to call, but hung up in a hurry before the first call rang.
In a movie like this, the protagonist and his group could have succeeded in evading the enemy, but the sudden ringing of the phone revealed their location, resulting in casualties.
Dante doesn't want the plot in the movie to happen in reality.I don't even want that potentially exposed phone call to be made by him.
Therefore, even though he was worried about his son, Dante could only continue to wait.
Ever since he saw the news about San Diego, Dante had locked himself in his room. Except for eating on time and going to bed at midnight, he never left the room.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally...
"Drip-drip-"
Dante almost jumped up, and when he looked carefully, it was Lidya Su's name on the caller ID.
He hurriedly answered: "President Su, how are you? How is my son? Is he okay?"
"We are all fine, Jose is safe, you don't have to worry."
"That's good." Hearing that Su Xiao's voice was very calm and did not sound like he was in danger, Dante finally let go of his anxious heart.
At this time, he slowly asked another question: "President Su, I saw the TV report about the terrorist attack in San Diego. Is that..."
Dante still had a glimmer of luck.
Maybe, maybe, probably... maybe the tragedy that happened at the airport has nothing to do with the Salamanca Group?
It's just a coincidence?
After all, only fiction talks about logic, and reality does not talk about logic.
Dante had such luck.
However, Su Xiao's next words completely broke his illusion.
"Yes, you guessed it right. The terrorist attack was deliberately caused by the Salamanca Group to prevent us from flying back to Night City."
For a moment, Dante felt that his hands and feet were cold, and even his blood seemed to be frozen.
If he hadn't been sitting on the chair, he might have fallen down by now.
"Are they crazy? Haven't they thought about the consequences of doing this? That's San Diego, San Diego, California, not Tijuana!"
Su Xiao didn't speak, but waited until Dante calmed down.
Realizing that yelling wouldn't solve the problem, Dante wiped his face with his thick, rough, calloused palms.
"President Su, where are you now?"
"I can't tell you right now because our calls may be monitored."
"It should, it should. Then when will you be able to return to Night City? By the way, how do you plan to come back? Are you going to change cities and take a plane back or..."
At this time, Lidya Su suddenly changed the topic and changed the topic.
"Mr. Gonzalez, did you know that Hector Salamanca hates you to the core?"
Dante didn't understand why Su Xiao suddenly said this, but what Su Xiao said was also true, so he admitted it honestly.
"Yeah, I know."
Su Xiao shook his head. This was a video call. Dante on the other end of the phone could also see his movements.
"No, you don't know. If you did, your tone wouldn't be so calm."
"After discovering that Jose had been rescued by us, Hector first asked the Tijuana Police Department, which he had corrupted, to close the airport. Then he also sent people to the city of San Diego, risking the wrath of the western states, and wanted to kill him. Jose stayed.”
"Obviously, in the eyes of Hector Salamanca, he could drag the whole group down in order to kill your son."
Dante was silent for a moment, his fingers nervously caressing the ring on his other hand.
"President Su, do you mean to add more money? I can understand, I completely understand. I can give you another 300 million, what do you think? Of course, if you think it's not enough, I can add more."
Of course money is not enough, who would think there is too much money?
Even if the money is so much that it is just a number, the more the better, more is better than less, and rising is better than falling.
But Su Xiao did not agree, but said with a righteous look.
"Mr. Gonzalez, you misunderstood. I'm not calling you to ask for money, but to suggest that we can cooperate again."
It sounds so ugly to ask for money.
Moreover, raising prices on the ground will make people feel bad. Su Xiao will not do such stupid things.
Helping others makes you feel resentful. That's what idiots do.
What he wants to do is: money, he wants it.And have Dante Gonzalez to thank himself for.
"Even I know that Hector is completely crazy now. In order to keep Jose, he will do anything. Even if we send Jose back to Night City, Hector will not Give it up and let it go."
"Then you mean..."
"Mr. Gonzalez, you don't want to wake up suddenly one morning and find yourself in a strange place, right? You don't want to open your eyes every day and be glad that you finally lived another day, right? You don’t want your tire company’s branch to be blown up, right?”
Dante fell silent.
If it were anyone else, Lidya Su's words would be useless.
He would only think that Lidya Su was alarmist.
However, Hector is no one else.
Hector Salamanca is a cruel guy. This kind of person never acts rationally, let alone has any conscience.
Even describing him as an egoist is not appropriate. If you have to find a suitable metaphor, he is more like the Tijuana version of Amin/Bokassa/Mobutu.
Therefore, it is really possible for a person like Hector to do such a thing and send people to hunt him down in Night City.
Just look at the terrorist attack at San Diego Municipal Airport.
In fact, Dante didn't think he was safe before Su Xiao proposed it.
His idea was that after his son came back, he would try to get rid of the company in the shortest possible time, and then move to Asia with his son.
Whether it is Siris or Japan, the gun control and public security environment of these two countries are unmatched, and they are also forbidden areas for mercenaries.
It's safe to go there.
But Dante's eyes lit up, because since Su Xiao raised this issue, it meant that Su Xiao might have a way to solve it.
"President Su, what do you mean..."
"If you want to live in peace, hiding alone is useless. There is only one way, kill Hector."
"Kill Hector?" Dante guessed that Su Xiao might have a way, but he didn't expect that Su Xiao's method was so bold.
That's Hector Salamanca
If he was that easy to kill, others would have done it long ago.
From Dante's tone, Su Xiao could hear Dante's distrust, but it didn't matter, he was not familiar with Dante, and Hector Salamanca had a notorious reputation, so it was normal to distrust him.
Su Xiao was not angry either, and just said: "I already have a plan to make sure I will kill Hector."
Chapter 249 If you are willing to give up, you will gain something if you give up (4K)
Hearing Su Xiao's reassurance, Dante realized the gaffe he had just made.
Although the relationship between him and Su Xiao is very unfamiliar, Su Xiao is recommended by Jack, and Jack is the successor of the priest. He and the priest have been friends for a long time.
Being able to protect his son all the way until now, even if there are dangers, but still not hurting his son, is enough to prove the ability of Su Xiao and his party.
Dante apologized hurriedly and sincerely, and then said: "Then what does President Su need from me?"
"Mr. Gonzalez doesn't need to do anything, just..."
"It's just?" Dante was stunned for a moment, and then responded immediately without Su Xiao's prompting, "I understand, then I'll trouble you, President Su. As for the reward, I'm willing to pay another 1000 million euros."
Su Xiao smiled slightly: "Mr. Gonzalez, please wait for our good news in Night City."
……
"1000 million?" V raised his eyebrows, "These rich people are really willing to give up."
V was always on the communication channel, so Su Xiao called Dante, and V could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
Su Xiao smiled.
"If you are willing to give up, you will get something. In our eyes, 1000 million may be a lot, but don't forget that he is an entrepreneur. This little money is nothing to an entrepreneur."
He paused for a moment, and then added: "Okay, it may feel a little painful, but after all, it can be regarded as spending money to eliminate disasters."
, if we really kill Hector Salamanca, then the 1000 million will actually be well spent for him. "
V nodded, then counted on his fingers.
"Hector's head is worth 1000 million, plus Jose is worth 800 million. When we return to Night City, there will be 800 million waiting for us. Then the three of us can each share almost 600. All right?"
Su Xiao shook his head and said: "It's not the three of us, it's the four of us. Although Jack is not here, don't forget the share given to him."
V pouted instantly and retorted unconvinced.
She rarely does this little girl-like gesture. She always looks like a royal sister on weekdays, but occasionally she does this kind of thing, which is quite cute.
"Of course I included him in it. Jack can divide the money to save Jose, which is 800 million, into four parts, and give him his share, which is 200 million."
"As for the 1000 million to kill Hector, of course only the three of us will share it. Three people share 1000 million. One person is more than 3303 million. If you add 200 million, isn't it almost 600 million? Where can I get it? Miscalculate?"
Su Xiao was stunned.
He was really stunned this time.
Because he didn't expect V to be so thoughtful...
He doesn't look like a street kid at all.
If you give her a decent high-end suit, she will be a business elite galloping in the mall.
Su Xiao touched his chin and said: "Didn't we divide 800 million equally?"
V glanced at him, as if he understood what he was thinking now, and spoke softly and gently.
"If it were before, of course there would be no problem, but don't forget, Su, you are no longer a mercenary, but the president of Shuguang Society."
"I know that your relationship with Jack is unusual, but when it comes to money, it's better to make a clear distinction. After all, even brothers can settle their accounts clearly."
Lidya Su understood what V meant.
