Susanna nodded vigorously: "Sure, if you have time now, let's meet and talk. But Liz just closed, so it's best to go somewhere else."

"Then in the next life?" Leo suggested.

"Okay, then in the next life, see you later!"

Susanna was clearly a decisive person; she stood up and put her coat back on before she even hung up the phone.

Leo waved goodbye to her and hung up the phone.

Then he said to V, who was standing next to him, "Since we're just killing time, let's call everyone and go for a trip to the afterlife."

V excitedly stood up and ran back into the house to find his battle suit.

Ten minutes later, the entire Immortal Squad assembled.

Jack rode his modified Nazarei "Itsumade," his gloomy expression from yesterday completely gone.

"Look, brothers and sisters, my new car has finally arrived! Isn't it super cool! I drove all the way here from the Wild Wolf, and the number of people turning their heads to look at me was absolutely amazing!"

He twisted the throttle hard, causing the top-of-the-line racing motorcycle to roar like a prehistoric beast, the exhilarating sound echoing endlessly in the underground garage.

V pursed his lips, then briskly got into the driver's seat of the thug "Weller," demonstrating with his actions that he still preferred four wheels.

The other three people obligingly went over to check.

Leo and Sasha didn't know anything about cars; they just thought the strange bird paint job on the car was cool.

Vera is a car modification expert. She walked around the car, focusing on the engine and exhaust pipe.

She commented, "This motorcycle is great, it uses a common rail fuel injection system, no wonder it's a racing model. But you could consider modifying the exhaust pipe; with that roaring noise, people a kilometer away know it's Jack coming!"

"Huh!?" Jack scratched his head in confusion. "I specifically told the old captain to get me a really loud exhaust pipe, I'm counting on that to pick up girls. If it's changed... then..."

Seeing his good friend in a difficult situation, Leo took the initiative to help: "I'll have the old captain send over a few motorcycles suitable for missions later. We can put them in the garage and underground parking lot for easy travel."

The power of money is boundless, and Jack instantly stopped worrying.

"That's great! I'll just drive this motorcycle around normally. It's fine if I'm a bit flashy. After all, I'm a big shot who can get into this bar!"

After a few minutes of excitement, the group got into their car and headed towards the Laisheng Bar.

Leo sat in the passenger seat, glanced around, and secretly rejoiced—what does it mean to have a luxury car and a beautiful woman? This is it!

And there are three more!!

When there are more female members in the team in the future, he is considering buying a seven-seater extended luxury car to carry a car full of beautiful women, which will definitely be a very pleasant experience!

A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the Laisheng Bar.

It was not yet 10 a.m., and the bar was deserted. Even the energetic rock music had been replaced with elegant blues, so as not to disturb the sleepy mercenaries.

The arrival of the Immortal Squad garnered the attention of the entire audience.

Unlike before, this time every mercenary who made eye contact with them raised their glass in a toast, displaying a very friendly attitude.

Leo knew that this was the power of fame.

I seem to recall someone saying that a good reputation is sometimes more useful than money.

He nodded to a few familiar-looking mercenaries, then walked straight to the bar and approached the women who were chatting with the female bartender, Claire.

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 183 The Mission: Hunting Down the Monster

Claire stood behind the bar and saw the Immortal Squad from afar.

They were just too conspicuous—

L himself is a handsome man with an oriental charm. When he walks, the golden light that appears and disappears around his waist makes people's mouths dry and their minds wander.

The two twin sisters flanking him were also incredibly charming and unforgettable.

Looking further back, even the burly man with his hair in a bun and the sweet, hacker-style girl were both strikingly good-looking.

Does joining the Immortal Squad have strict requirements regarding appearance?

Even after encountering all sorts of mercenaries and clients in her next life, Claire was still amazed by this small team.

"The person you've been waiting for has arrived, Susan."

At her friendly reminder, the three members of the Mox gang turned around and looked behind them.

Leo looked them over and raised his hand to greet them: "Good morning, ladies, it's a pleasure to meet you."

His gaze lingered for a moment on Susan, the burly woman in the middle, before he looked to the left and right.

Unfortunately, the one in the Mox gang he was most interested in wasn't here.

To Susan's left is a rather daringly dressed young woman wearing only two pieces of clothing—a leopard-print V-neck jumpsuit and a matte gray leather jacket.

This outfit is perfect for a walk on the beach, but it would be a bit inappropriate for a formal occasion.

However, Leo dared not underestimate her. The traces of cybernetics on this girl's body were very obvious, and the metal implant marks on her arms were clearly from the installation of mantis blades.

The tactical goggles and the conspicuous spiked collar around her neck reminded Leo of who she was—she was a combatant from the Mox Gang who later became a cyberpsychotic after being infected while investigating Black Dream.

The woman to Susan's right looks even more familiar; she has a pink bun and is holding a yellow baseball bat. She's the pretty young woman who works as the doorman at Liz Bar.

Susan nodded in a friendly manner and replied, "Good morning, L, and your friends here. Let me introduce you. This is Anna Knox on my left, and this is Rita Wheeler on my right. They are both veterans of the Knox Gang."

Leo nodded, realizing that the Knox trio were all familiar faces from the "game".

He then gave a brief introduction of his team members.

I thought the introductions were over, since we didn't seem to have any prior connection.

Unexpectedly, Rita struck up a conversation with V: "Hey! Isn't this V? No wonder you haven't been helping us with deliveries lately, looks like you've really struck it rich~"

V, who was posing and exuding a powerful aura, was almost brought to her senses by her greeting.

She was so excited before she arrived that she completely forgot that her "good sisters" at Lizhi Bar were her former "big customers".

Rita winked at her with a grin: "Seeing how well you're doing, your sisters are relieved. Before, we used to tell everyone how efficient you were at delivering goods, just to find you more work, afraid that you wouldn't make enough money and would fall into an even worse social class."

V...Red temperature!

OK!

So that's where the culprit was!

She had always wondered where the rumors about her excellent delivery skills had started. The rumors were widespread; she frequently received deliveries from complete strangers. It turned out the source was the Lizhi Bar!

Ironically, these people were still trying to help her out of kindness, leaving her with no choice but to keep her anger inside.

Leo wanted to laugh but dared not—V might not be able to deal with others, but he was ruthless when it came to dealing with him.

After holding back for a while, he simply looked at Claire and tried to divert her attention by talking about business: "Claire, I'd like to rent a private room long-term, pay by the day is fine, could you do me that?"

Claire glanced at him, then suddenly grinned. "The famous L, you're still so polite even after becoming famous. Well, you're quite the rising star here now, you can enjoy the monthly rental service. Still want that VIP room number 12?"

Leo nodded.

"The monthly rent for a large private room is 28,000 yuan, which is 60% of the daily rate."

"Great deal! Add four more bottles of the best wine, half a dozen Cokes, and half a dozen bottled water."

While waiting, he didn't sit idle either—

【Pure White, can you be my assistant? Help with greeting clients and initial screening of their cases.】

Okay, I've registered a lot of virtual numbers. Just leave any one of them here at the Next Life Bar.

This time, Pure White didn't cause any trouble, and Leo breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly sent the number to Claire: "This is my personal assistant's phone number. If any clients want to contact me in the future, just give them this number."

"Okay, but I have to make it clear in advance that we will charge a 5% commission for any engagements we reach with Laisheng."

"Very reasonable."

Leo had no objections; he wanted his own private room, like Roger's, facing directly into the lobby so the mercenaries could see it at a glance. Sharing some profits with the Next Life Bar was only fair.

Soon, Claire neatly arranged the drinks he ordered on three trays.

Leo casually paid the bill, and with the monthly room fee, the total bill came to 3.7 euros.

His lavish spending caught Rita's attention. She kept winking at V, making the latter blush with anger, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The group then moved to a private room and discussed the commission in a soundproof conference room.

The two sat facing each other across a glass table, and after a few drinks, they got straight to the point.

Susan didn't waste any words and said directly, "L, I've heard that you're exceptionally well-informed, so I'd like to ask you to help us find someone. If you can kill that person while you're at it, that would be even better."

She handed me a separation chip.

Leo took it and inserted it directly into his slot. After a thorough inspection, a full-body image of a man and a brief introduction appeared in his line of sight.

Type of commission: Target finding/Hiring a hitman

Target: Jotaro Seiho.

Details: Tiger Claw Gang member, 44 years old, Japanese-American, is a psychopath.

Location: Unknown, but frequents nightclubs owned by the Tiger Claw Gang.

He has a nice name, looks quite presentable, and is wearing a glamorous white suit.

But this person is a complete pervert who enjoys filming himself torturing sex dolls and then selling the disgusting tapes to others with the same perverted hobby.

Leo wasn't surprised that the Mox Gang wanted to take him down.

Once the light in his eyes faded, Susan continued, "This is the man. He enjoys abusing sex dolls from the lower classes and has already taken more than a dozen lives, including some girls we were protecting."

Our hackers have been searching for clues about him, but he's elusive, and we haven't been able to pinpoint his exact location yet. So I'm trying to get you to help. It's okay if I fail; I've already tried several intermediaries for this job, but nothing's worked out..."

Leo nodded, connecting with pure white—

[Pure White, just check the club that Jotaro Shohoku has in the game. I remember it's his studio; he might be there.]

[Wait a minute, this kind of intelligence with 'data' is easy to find... Hmm, found it, the Hoo Club on Ellen Street in the Kabuki District. Hacking into the surveillance cameras and internal computers... Done... Success!]

Pure White sent a photo—a picture of Jotaro Seiho leaning against the second-floor railing, looking down at the bar.

This is clearly a selfie; he is holding a wine glass in his left hand and forcibly embracing a young woman who looks uneasy with his right.

The photo was taken last night!

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 184 Susan: "L's efficiency is terrifyingly high..."

"Is this the man?"

Leo sent the picture to Susan, leaving the gang leader completely dumbfounded.

From examining the discrete chip to providing feedback, L took less than five minutes.

She could tell that the other party had used hackers to find the information, but the question was—what level of hacker could find someone that the Mox gang had been searching for for six months without success, in just a few minutes?!

The photo was taken last night.

The nightclub stage is clearly visible in the photo. With a little more time, you might be able to pinpoint the other person's location from this photo!

L is truly amazing!

Susan put her legs down and adopted a more formal sitting posture: "That's right, it's this bastard. Don't let his good looks fool you, he's a monster in human skin! The girl next to him is probably in trouble, tsk... why does she look so familiar?"

She sent the picture to the two members next to her so they could take a look too.

Anna Knox quietly shook her head. She mainly managed Mox's auto repair shop and didn't know much about bars and nightclubs.

Rita, with her pink hair, affirmed Susan's point of view:

“I’m the gatekeeper, and I remember everyone who frequents Liz Bar. This girl looks familiar. Let me think… um, it seems like she… transferred to our bar from another neighborhood a while ago. She didn’t join a gang, but she paid her share of the profits without fail, so she’s considered one of our own under protection.”

"Damn it! You idiot, Jotaro Seifu!"

Susan was undoubtedly a hot-tempered person who didn't bother to hide her temper. She immediately started cursing and pounded her fists on the table.

"L, now that you've found the guy, could you find a suitable mercenary to take care of him? I can't enjoy my drinks as long as he lives."

Leo took a sip of his cola and said casually, "This is easy. Let's talk about the price, following the middleman's rules."

After a moment's consideration, Susan began to quote: "15 euros, I think that should be enough to buy the life of a high-ranking gang member."

Leo neither agreed nor disagreed:

“You should know that I hired some people to do some odd jobs a few days ago. 15 is just the pay for dealing with a medium-sized scavenger stronghold. There aren’t many bodyguards around Seihō Jotaro, but they are Tiger Claw gang members after all. I can take this job, but you’ll have to pay more.”
