From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

Second, contact Mrs. Wells and see if there are any of your family or acquaintances who are willing to join the new gang. We can't let the Rangers dominate our gang, we need some Heywood people as well."

Jack stood up and patted his chest twice. "No problem. Our family has some reputation in Heywood. It will be easy for us to find dozens of people. I'll talk to Claire first. She's well-informed and may know the right person."

After he left, Leo looked at Vera and said, "Vera, you are also a wanderer, so it's mainly up to you to deal with them."

"Leave it to me." Vera nodded gently, her golden hair shining charmingly under the light.

"Sasha, cooperate with Pure White and go to the online black market to select the various equipment needed for the operation."

"Understood!" Sasha nodded quickly.

Finally, he looked at V, who was full of fighting spirit:

"You are our vanguard, just responsible for fighting and killing..."

V's eyes lit up. "I love this job! Just tell me who the enemy is and where they are, and I'll take care of the rest!"

Leo nodded silently: This is the correct way to use the Living King of Hell - only use your hands, not your brain!

That’s it, everyone is clear about their respective responsibilities, and the next step is to find external help.

If he wanted the Wanderer Family to surrender, he had to treat them with sincerity and show them authority. The latter could be achieved with his huge financial resources and Kang Tao's tiger skin, but the former would require more arrangements...

Rise to Fame: Chapter 258: Old Captain: "Oh no, L really can read minds..."

It goes without saying that a family of wanderers who migrate around like migratory birds every year must not have much money.

They have no fixed homes or jobs, and all their belongings are stuffed into one or two cars, which they drive around in. From this point of view, vehicles are undoubtedly their "must-have goods".

Coincidentally, Leo knew such a reliable second-hand car dealer who could provide relatively cheap modified cars to meet the needs of vagrants.

“Buzz…Buzz…”

The phone rang only twice before being quickly connected.

"Good morning, the famous L!" Muammar Reyes waved to him warmly while leaning against a fence, cigarette in hand. "It's only been a week, I'm sure there's absolutely no quality problem with the car I sold you. So... you're looking for me for good things again?"

"You guessed it, I need to buy another batch of cars."

Leo raised his chin towards him as a greeting.

How could the old captain refuse such a good thing when the sponsor took the initiative to come to him? He immediately agreed: "No problem, leave it to me. Do you have any specific requirements?"

Leo was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly: "Your garage is on the edge of the Santo Domingo area, right next to the bad land of the eastern suburbs. I guess you must have had a lot of dealings with vagrants."

"uh-huh."

The old captain nodded, his mind became active, and he began to guess his purpose.

It seems that these cars are related to the wanderers?

"Since you know them, I won't waste any more words. Bring me a batch of off-road vehicles suitable for driving on the badlands, and modify them to use the style that the wanderers like."

"Rover style..." The old captain was very familiar with this. "The Colby and Mackinaw produced by Thunderway should be equipped with a large-capacity cargo box, and the suspension and engine should be modified. They should also be equipped with puncture-proof tires and light armor. I guarantee they will drool when they see them."

"It sounds good. Both of these models are fine. In addition, I also want a large truck that can be used to haul goods and also as a motorhome. Remember to make the chassis stronger for me."

"Of course, that's what I do!" The old captain smiled confidently, "How many do you want this time? You won't ask for 20 directly like last time, right?"

"of course not."

Hearing this, the old captain breathed a sigh of relief. He was really busy last time.

Although I also earned a lot of pension~

"Large trucks are more expensive, so just prepare the 20 million."

"Okay...wait, how much!?"

The old captain subconsciously thought that he had misheard and heard 20 million as 20 million.

"Twenty million. You heard it right. This is a long-term deal. There is no rush. You just need to modify the vehicles that meet the requirements and send them to Stone Ridge Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Night City."

"Stone Ridge Mountain... that deserted ghost town? I remember there was no one there..."

"Yes, I plan to occupy it. I will renovate it and turn it into a rest stop for wanderers and caravans to use."

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

The old captain couldn't understand his thinking. Just buying a car would cost 20 million, and other supporting facilities would be even more. In other words... L might have to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild a small town...

Is there any point in doing this?

There are no supporting facilities in the eastern suburbs, what is the point of that damn place...

"L, are you sure? As far as I know, there are many random swordsmen and night-walking ghosts in the eastern suburbs. They are all lawless and cold-blooded. If you want to renovate the town there, they will come to cause trouble every few days."

"I know, so I plan to unite with the homeless people and clean up those stinky rats."

"Uh... I have to remind you that the stinking rats you mentioned are everywhere in the Badlands. There are hundreds and thousands of them, and they run very fast. Even if we eliminate them temporarily, they will migrate from other places and we can't kill them all."

"Simple. I'll issue a 'Purge Order'. The price for each ordinary gang member is 5,000, and for each senior gang member with combat prosthetics, 10,000. Do you think it will work?"

"..."

The old captain took a long puff of his cigarette to calm himself, and then licked his lips which had suddenly become dry.

"Did they... offend you?"

"That's about right. I don't like lawbreakers messing around in my territory."

The old captain remained calm on the surface, but something was moving in his mind: calling the bad land in the eastern suburbs "my territory"?

If I remember correctly, the middleman in charge of that piece was Dakota Smith.

However, comparing the financial resources and power of the two middlemen, he felt that his colleague should either surrender or leave, as he could not defeat L anyway.

Giving the old captain some time to think, Leo urged: "Anyway, I will take care of the matter in the Bad Land. You just need to provide me with the vehicle. I'll give you a 50% deposit first. Remember to help me check it out."

Before he finished speaking, he had already started transferring money.

[You are transferring money to the car middleman 'Old Captain', please confirm that it is you who is doing it. ]

【confirm. 】

[Waiting for the other party to confirm...]

After hesitating for a while, the old captain chose to accept it.

When a huge sum of 10 million yuan arrived in his account, he even had the absurd idea of simply running away with the money and moving to another place to be a wealthy man for the rest of his life.

Leo also knew that it was best not to test human nature casually, so he used his ultimate move against the old captain: "Old Captain, I know you are acting as a middleman for other purposes - you want to solve the water pollution problem in the Santo Domingo area, right?"

"...How did you know that?" The old captain was shocked. "I haven't told this to anyone..."

"I can read minds."

"I think so, otherwise it doesn't make sense... Oh, forget it, what do you mean by bringing this up?"

"It's simple. I can solve your little trouble."

"What are you going to do!?"

"I'll tell you in half a month. Take care of my business first."

After saying that, Leo hung up the phone.

With the two carrots of money and dreams hanging, there is no need to worry that the old captain will not take the bait.

What's more, he is a pretty good person. Next time, if I lower his seniority, I can take him as my subordinate.

The ladies in the conference room heard his uncensored conversation and were impressed by his wealth and ambition.

V looked at him curiously. "Why do I feel like you have some feelings for this old captain? Do you want to recruit him into the team?"

Leo shook his head: "This man has good character. I want to bring him into the company and appoint him as the head of the automobile production department. In the future, he will be responsible for the production and modification of our own brand vehicles."

"Your environmental protection company also produces cars?" Vera became interested.

"To be precise, I want to build a super enterprise that is involved in various fields. Environmental protection is just a reputation building in the initial stage. Naturally, other departments will be needed in the future to be responsible for profits."

"Is that so... Then I can go to the R&D department, too!"

"That's a bit of an overkill, but I did find a prototype car and a prototype plane, as well as the corresponding production drawings. I'll show them to you when I have time."

"Yeah!"

Vera's smile was as bright as the sun, which made Leo smile too.

But soon, a blow to the ribs from the side wiped away his smile.

Rise to Fame: Chapter 259: Panam Palmer

"V... stop joking, let's talk business..."

Leo rubbed his waist and expressed his dissatisfaction with V.

But not only did she not repent, she also gave me a provocative look as if to say "I'll show you what's happening to you tonight".

Lord Leo did not bear grudges and quickly changed the subject, "Well... there is no need to go through border security to enter Night City from the eastern suburbs. The wanderers should not be short of basic supplies and medical supplies, but they must be short of prosthetic doctors."

As he spoke, he looked towards Vera, asking the former wanderer for help.

Vera nodded. "You are right. The wanderers are in great need of doctors. Often, small families band together to form tribes in order to share medical care and education. Even so, the only one or two doctors are unlicensed and cannot perform major surgeries."

This is actually good news for Leo.

[Chunbai, I remember that you taught yourself basic medical skills. Can you perform minor surgeries? ]

[Yes, I can open a small clinic in Stone Ridge Mountain, or put a remote-controlled prosthetic doctor's operating chair with a built-in mechanical arm in the homeless camp, and I can pretend to be a prosthetic doctor and provide remote medical care to patients. ]

[Then let's do this. I'll call Lao Wei first and have him help the homeless people who are willing to cooperate install the implants. You split off a few threads, pretend to be a medical student still interning in the hospital, and learn the technology from him. Once you have learned everything, you can split off more threads and migrate with the homeless family to various parts of the United States.]

[I see, they are called cyborg doctors, but they are actually spies, right? I think it's okay. Not only can I practice with their bodies for free, but I can also earn some pocket money. I can do this job! ]

[Very good, go to the Dogtown black market and buy a few surgical chairs. The company can provide telemedicine services in the future. As long as it is cost-effective and safe enough, unmanned clinics will soon be able to open all over Night City and even other cities.]

After discussing with Chunbai, Leo quickly called Lao Wei and extended a job invitation.

In the picture, Lao Wei had just finished a small job and was disinfecting the operating table.

Hearing Leo's invitation, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "As a doctor, I am willing to provide services to patients. The problem is... one thousand operations in half a month, an average of more than sixty operations a day, I am afraid of being exhausted to death in the operating room."

"We can provide several medical students to serve as your remote assistants. You can teach them a few times and then let them come. You only need to be a mentor and correct their mistakes.

Oh, by the way, in addition to the regular surgery fee, there are also consultation fees and teaching fees, 50,000 euros a day, this job is not bad, right! "

"Oh, that's not bad. This job will earn me enough for my pension."

Lao Wei thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, but you have to provide a clinic and medical equipment, and those students must listen to me. I don't want to take human lives lightly."

"No problem! We will have a special car to pick you up and ensure your safety!"

After talking with Lao Wei, Leo felt that the preliminary preparations were almost complete. They just needed to find a guide, and then they could try to contact the wanderer family.

This opportunity came faster than expected.

Just as they were discussing what to eat for lunch, Jack walked into the box and brought back some good news:

"Brother, we are really lucky. Claire knows a suitable candidate. I will pass the information to you right away."

Jack lowered his head slightly, and his prosthetic eye glowed orange.

The next second, Leo received the information - a half-length photo of a woman and a brief text introduction.

【Name: Panam Palmer. 】

[Female, a wanderer from the Adecado family, currently looking for work in Night City, good at smuggling and transporting goods...]

Isn't this a coincidence?

There is no need to screen, the first person he finds is the one he likes.

He suspected that Jack had some hidden attribute of great luck, as he had found very suitable candidates both times he went out.

Leo pretended to lower his head to drink water, so as not to let V, who had amazing intuition, "interpret" his eyes.

He pretended not to know Panam and thought for a few seconds: "From the information, it seems okay. Let me check her information and then decide whether to contact her."

"Her?" V's intuition always worked in strange places. "Jack, upload the information to the team channel so we can take a look."

Female Tyrannosaurus...ah, no, the mistress had spoken, so of course Jack chose to obey her.

Then, the three ladies also saw Panam's photos and information.
