From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

The bald, muscular man with a scar on his face nodded to him.

“Joey Durant, daughter of the Durant family patriarch, my father led a team to deliver goods up north, and I am here to see you on his behalf.”

The burly woman with a single ponytail explained.

“Cedric Mahler, I come from the Red Ochre tribe. The chief sent me to scout out the situation.”

This is a black man with dreadlocks dyed orange-red; you can tell from his demeanor that he's a member of the family's fighting force.

Leo was fairly satisfied with Thor's efficiency in summoning people from the other three families in half a day.

"I am L, and I believe Thor has already conveyed what I need to do to you."

"That's right, he showed us your 'Purge Order.' Are you sure you want to spend such a large sum of money to save the Chaotic Blade Society?"

Despite being a woman, Joey was more proactive than the two men. She raised her hand, revealing a folded poster.

Leo didn't need to unfold it to know it was his purge order, so he said, "Of course, the criminals in the eastern suburbs add up to no more than a thousand people. I think it's worth spending a little money to get rid of them."

“Little Qian…” The woman lowered her eyes slightly and stuffed the poster back into her pocket. “Okay, if your onboarding benefits are real, then quite a few people in our family would be willing to join your gang.”

"The Ashton family is the same," the bald man added.

Leo nodded slightly and looked at several familiar faces.

Saul nodded to him: "The Bright family is willing to follow you, and apart from the necessary personnel who stay behind, others are willing to join your gang."

“But they must also retain their status as family members,” Parnan added.

Leo could tell it was a good cop/bad cop game, but he didn't care.

"Work is work, and life is life. That's perfectly reasonable."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the middleman in the eastern suburbs.

Dakota sighed inwardly, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface: "I sent messages to the mercenaries I know well. They are willing to join your 'hunt,' but they will not join any gangs."

"It doesn't matter, my gang has plenty of people, it's their loss if they don't come."

After confirming the opinions of the key personnel, Leo raised his hand and waved forward.

More drones flew out and scattered around the homeless camp, causing a commotion.

"Don't worry, it's just a patrol. Avoid any disturbances."

Leo glanced around the camp a few times, then said thoughtfully,

"Let's gather around the campfire. There's plenty of space there. I have a few words to say."

The leaders nodded in unison and called to their respective tribesmen.

A few minutes later, the center of the camp was packed with people.

The Bright family already had over a hundred members, and with the addition of the other two families and mercenaries, the number exceeded two hundred.

If you want to find a reference point in Night City, the entire Mox Gang would be about this size.

Leo stepped onto the prepared podium—which was actually a small truck converted into a watchtower with a small platform that offered a good view.

Looking at the bustling crowd below, he felt both excited and a little nervous.

A month ago, he was just a programmer who could only write code, spending his days immersed in an endless ocean of code.

A month later, he rose from the ashes like a phoenix, ascending the high platform and emulating the heroic act of the mustachioed man who had once raised his arms and called out in the tavern.

Fate is truly a wonderful thing!

"Everyone!"

He shouted loudly, his voice booming like a bell, instantly piercing through the noise and drawing the attention of the audience.

The scene gradually became quiet.

"Today, we gather here to witness the birth of a brand new gang! The purpose of this gang is not for killing or fighting for supremacy, but for protecting our common home!"

He raised his hands and pointed in different directions.

The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, but all they saw were bare rocks and overgrown hills.

“You are all locals living in the eastern suburbs, and you are more familiar with the harsh environment here than I am. So I would like to ask you, are you satisfied with your current living conditions?”

The crowd whispered among themselves and quickly split into two factions.

The mature and prudent wanderers believe that they were born and raised in the wilderness, and have long since learned to adapt to their environment, so they should be content with what they have.

However, young people, especially those in their teens, clearly have a different view.

This place is so close to Night City that they occasionally sneak into the city to enjoy themselves all night, without telling their families. Having grown accustomed to the city's extravagance and decadence, they naturally feel dissatisfied with the environment of Badlands.

However, respect for elders is a crucial aspect of the family education received by homeless people, and in the controversy, the younger group quickly lost ground.

Leo certainly couldn't let this 'unhealthy trend' go unchecked:

“Look at the children around you. Their childhood is spent in this desolate and barren land. They lack food and clothing, and cannot receive a systematic education. They will never be able to integrate into normal society and can only become smugglers, temporary construction workers, or find a hard job on a farm.”

Your lives are already so bitter, do you really want your children to experience the same suffering?

Older homeless people are often already married. Under the dual pressure of a boring homeless life and harsh environment, many families have more than one child in order to share the risks.

When parents recall the hardships and pain they have endured, and then look at their innocent children, they quickly waver.

Leo seized this opportunity and launched another pursuit while they were wavering:

"Our gang is called 'Wings of Freedom,' and the first thing we'll do after its formation is to wipe out the Chaotic Blade Society and Night Wanderers in the treacherous eastern suburbs! It's the existence of these outlaws that makes the living conditions of the homeless even worse!"

City dwellers unfamiliar with homeless people often lump together robbers, vehicle attacks, and members of gangs in the suburbs with the term "homeless," which has earned you a bad reputation and made it increasingly difficult for you to deal with city dwellers.

We must unite, wipe out these robbers and criminals, and rebuild Stoneridge Mountain! There will be schools, hospitals, factories, and real shelter from the wind and rain! The homeless are far more hardworking, honest, and kind than the city dwellers; you deserve a better life!

Don't forget, Adcado rebuilt Mexico City; we should certainly emulate the great achievements of our predecessors!

Hearing him recount the glorious past of Adcado, these small families belonging to Adcado felt a sense of pride.

New Mexico City – Adcado – became famous after the city was rebuilt!

Below the platform, the clamor grew louder and louder.

Many young people were inspired by Leo's speech and became passionate and enthusiastic.

With the cheers of the Haywood lads scattered throughout the crowd, the situation gradually became clear.

Just then, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out.

"That sounds nice, but we've heard you're one of Kangtao's people! Big companies are all the same; no matter how sweet their words are, they're nothing but lies!"

People around turned to look at the woman who was openly contradicting them.

Leo looked around and spotted several homeless people who were completely covered up, with not a single inch of skin showing.

Their attire was noticeably different from the others.

A short message quickly appeared in the team's communication channel—

Vera: I asked around, and those people belong to the Red Ochre Squad that went to Night City to buy medicine. The leader is Cedric. Don't be angry, from what I've observed, they've probably been badly scammed by biotechnology.

Vera's reminder helped Leo understand the whole story.

Since they are from the Red Ochre group, it's perfectly reasonable for them to dislike big companies.

If the experiment goes out of control next year and causes a huge accident with casualties, they will hire people to retaliate against the person in charge of "Project Nightingale".

Now that they've brought up the company background, it makes it easier for Leo to continue.

"Gentlemen! I know you hate the company, and I agree with you—it is the company's monopoly and hegemony that has caused you to lose the home you depend on for survival."

But right now, we don't have the strength to challenge the company, and the threat from the Chaotic Blade Society is imminent! If your concern is about payment, then I can make a promise here—”

He waved his hand, signaling the members of the Immortal Squad to distribute the new posters.

This time, the second version of the poster includes more details.

Seeing that most people had received the poster, he announced loudly, "Anyone willing to join the gang can receive free prosthetic body modification by a professional doctor, obtain an implant kit produced by Kangtao's subsidiary 'Qianti', and receive an A-22B super smart pistol."

This is a perk the Wings of Liberty offer to new members; as long as you serve the guild for three years, these items are given to you for free.

"In addition, the second half of the purge order describes how to claim the bounty. As long as you load the NCPD file scanning program into your prosthetic eye scanner, you can accurately identify the members of the Chaotic Blade Society and the Night Wanderer."

After eliminating them, you need to upload the deceased's information to our temporary website. The hackers will compare it with the NCPD database to confirm the victim's identity. Once the identity is verified, the bounty will be paid on the spot; don't worry, I won't renege on my promise.

I must emphasize this point—killing innocent people and claiming credit for their crimes is unacceptable. If such behavior is discovered, a bounty will be placed on your own heads!

Despite his stern and domineering demeanor on stage, the audience showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Their hands trembled as they held the posters, for the wealth they contained was immense.

The smart connectivity, basic optical prosthetic eye, subcutaneous armor, brain-computer interface, and bio-monitoring are all brand-new implants manufactured by major companies.

Most experienced homeless people don't have implants that are this good.

With the addition of a smart pistol, eliminating the slash gang would be a piece of cake.

Ordinary members pay 5,000 euros, while combat members pay 10,000 euros!

Drive into the enemy camp, fire a few bursts in the direction with the most people, and if you're lucky, you can earn tens of thousands in one go!

"I'll join!"

"I want to join too! I want to join too!"

"Long live the Wings of Freedom! Long live L!!"

There was no need for any atmosphere building; the audience below the stage was already fired up, responding to Leo with thunderous cheers.

I was eighteen that year, at my alma mater's dance, standing there like a lackey.

At eighteen this year, I raised my voice and my followers flocked to me like clouds!

At that moment, Leo seemed to be possessed by "Seele," revealing the Führer's smile!

Rising to Fame: Chapter 278 Division of Labor and Cooperation

The impromptu speech was a huge success!

Watching the young people cheering and waving flags for him, Leo was deeply moved and couldn't contain himself.

The first step of the revolution has been taken, and he has finally built his own team.

As long as loyalty education continues and they are fed with money that is insignificant to him, a party-guard... gang soldiers who can charge into battle for him will be born!

He could then spread them across the streets of Tai Ping Chau, thus firmly controlling the lower classes and turning Tai Ping Chau into his "private territory."

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

After his initial excitement subsided, Leo stepped down from the platform and issued a task to the temporary leadership: "The three family leaders and Dakota, take your tablets and register the personal information of those who wish to join the gang."

"it is good."

"clear."

The group walked towards the crowd, calling out loudly to their people.

"Vera, Panan, once you've registered, the prosthetic surgery will begin immediately. You'll be responsible for maintaining order outside the operating room."

"Row."

Vera took a couple of steps, then noticed that Panan hadn't followed, and turned to look at her in confusion.

The spirited female homeless woman was gazing intently at the bustling leisure square.

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Leo walked over and gently patted Panan on the shoulder: "What's wrong, Miss Panan?"

Panan snapped out of his daze, shook his head vigorously, and tried to clear his mind of the chaotic thoughts.

"It's nothing, I just feel... it's been a long time since the family has been this lively."

Since the passing of the old clan chief, the clan's situation has deteriorated, and the clan members have been silently bearing the pressure, lacking energy even during festivals.

This lively scene is truly nostalgic, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing...

She glanced at Leo and walked towards Vera.

Compared to this mysterious and ambitious man, she preferred to stay with Vera, who was also a wanderer.

Leo didn't mind and looked at Sasha, who was eager to try: "Your equipment is all in the car. Go do your job as a hacker."
