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

Leo was very satisfied with the results. It seems that the combat mode of combining smart weapons with drones is indeed very effective and is more than enough in low-intensity warfare.

Of course, the roles of Pure White and the hacker team must also be acknowledged.

They roasted dozens of pig brains and won a major victory in the cyber war as well.

"Such an astonishing casualty ratio, this can be considered a resounding victory!"

After a moment of smugness, Leo shook his head dismissively.

"However, we can't be complacent. The Voodoo Gang is a gang with a serious imbalance. They pose a very high threat in cyberspace, but their threat level in street fighting is low. They are completely countered by us. If the opponents were the Tiger Claw Gang or the Sixth Street Gang, the battle would not have gone so smoothly."

After reading the post-war summary several times, Leo looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and there was still a short time before dawn.

Tomorrow is the big day for the founding of Lanmeng Company; bloodshed is out of the question. Anything that needs to be resolved today is best left unresolved. So… let's continue the killing.

Let all those who deserve to die die!

Let all the blood that should be shed flow!

Only then could he establish a new order on the purified land!

Encrypted Channel —

"L: All units, listen up! New mission is now being issued!"

"L: Based on intelligence seized from the voodoo gang and enthusiastic reports from citizens, all units immediately launched operations to eliminate scavenger strongholds, drug manufacturing dens, and human trafficking dens within the controlled areas."

"L: I don't need prisoners. The evidence is conclusive, kill them on the spot! Send rescued civilians to medical vehicles and provide free treatment. The kill reward is equivalent to the 'Purge Order,' but don't be greedy for credit and act rashly. Pay attention to your own safety and that of your comrades!"

He had barely finished speaking when he approached the hacker team and assigned them a task.

"Leo: Send text messages to all citizens of Taipingzhou, offering a reward for information on the hideouts of the above three types of criminals. Upon verification, informants will be rewarded with cash: 300 euros for the first place, 200 euros for the second, 100 euros for the third, and 50 euros each for the fourth to tenth places. All rewards will be deposited directly into personal accounts."

That's right!

Today he is going to wipe these scumbags out of Taipingzhou and restore a peaceful and stable social environment to Taipingzhou!

V, who had witnessed the whole thing, clicked his tongue in surprise and said uncertainly, "Isn't what you're doing a bit too radical? Although you're dealing with the worst bastards, they also have backers and collaborators, like other gangs."

Leo scoffed disdainfully, "So what? If you're so capable, come to Taiping Continent and see if I can break their necks! I'm going to use this bloody bloodletting therapy to let all the scoundrels in Night City know—from now on, in Taiping Continent, my rules are the only rules!"

V looked at his cold profile, her heart pounding like a deer's, but as a native of Night City, some of her deeply ingrained ideas were not so easy to change.

"But this is Night City. In this godforsaken place, you can't completely eradicate the kind of people you despise. They're like cockroaches; you kill one nest, and a new one will pop up from who-knows-where in a few days..."

"No, kill them all. As long as I issue a ban and provide long-term bounties for them, all the evildoers who dare to set foot in Taiping Continent will become walking money, hanged on the roadside like dogs!"

"But…"

"No buts. Night City used to be a cesspool. People couldn't survive there, so they chose to break the law and commit crimes. That was the fault of the government and big corporations!"

But now that I'm here, at least in Tai Ping Chau, I will try my best to create jobs so that people have the opportunity to live honestly through their own hard work. Those who choose to be cleaners or drug manufacturers under these circumstances do not deserve my mercy, nor do they deserve to live in my Tai Ping Chau!

Hearing his resolute words, V suddenly smiled nonchalantly: "Alright, great Lord of Taiping Continent, since this is 'your Taiping Continent,' what can anyone else say? Anyway, we're just idling around, why don't we join the hunt?"

She only fired one shot tonight, with a score of 1, which is likely the lowest in the team. This must be incredibly embarrassing for the former MVP.

Leo nodded and flatly refused: "No way!"

"why?"

V's smile froze, and his eyes began to look dangerous.

“Listen carefully, the answer is in the wind~” Leo said mysteriously.

V glanced at him suspiciously, then listened intently to the wind.

What's in the cool night breeze?

There were the roars of engines piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, the sporadic gunshots, and the energetic shouts and cries—all sounds emanating from the soldiers of Wings of Freedom.

Leo chuckled and said, "Did you hear that? The good young men and women who are about to settle in Taipingzhou are counting on this operation to earn their first pot of gold for city life. You're not short of money, why are you competing with them?"

"Then you'll make up for the kills I'm missing..."

V slumped back in his chair, feeling utterly bored and devoid of joy.

Boom—Boom—

Just as Leo was about to tease her, he suddenly heard a deafening roar rapidly approaching.

He wasn't nervous at all, because the voice was familiar; it came from the limited-edition top-of-the-line racing motorcycle, the Nazaré "Izumaden," Jack's beloved ride.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Jack appeared in sight.

Behind him were the thug "Weller", the Mackintosh "Warhorse", and several other high-end modified cars.

Leo called back the members of the Immortal Squad and the Mann Squad.

Team Channel —

Leo: Everyone's here, so come with me. I heard the main force of the Animal Gang is holed up in the Great Empire Shopping Mall, which is my company headquarters. How can I let them occupy it!

Let's try negotiating first. If that doesn't work, we'll just knock the heads off those pointy-headed bastards!

V perked up instantly upon hearing this: "If there's a battle, say so now! I'll be the vanguard! Does the Animal Gang have any famous, powerful figures? I mean, the kind whose kills are impressive enough to show off!"

Leo chuckled: "There really is one. The leader of this animal gang is known as the 'Wild Queen,' and she's quite a fighter, plus she's a woman!"

"Pretty good at fighting...a woman!" V's eyes lit up. "Leave her to me. I've been killing small fry lately. In this underworld, these nobody's nothing!"

Leo waved his hand dismissively, signaling her to hurry up and drive.

Boom—Boom—

The Batmobile's engine roar was equally impressive, thundering through the streets of Taiping Island alongside Jack's heavily armored motorcycle!

Still not enough excitement, he turned on the car radio and, after some searching, found a high-energy Latin song. The lyrics were strikingly similar to the lyrics sung by the beer-bellied idiot boss he met at the beginning of his time travel: "My money is overflowing, and my bullet glasses are filled with ice."

"The number of banknotes is skyrocketing."

"Countless, countless, countless riches."

"The account is always receiving funds."

"Countless, countless, countless riches."

"The zeros after the bank balance are so numerous, it's like a 5.0T Type 66 roaring."

What a cheesy song, all it talks about is money, and it keeps repeating the Spanish word "Mucho" (lots, a lot).

Surprisingly, Leo felt that the song suited his persona perfectly!

To be rich—his ideal at the beginning of his transmigration has been realized.

The next goal is to become a person with power and stand on a higher stage!

V was speechless at Leo's taste, but another listener had the complete opposite attitude, making up for Leo's emotional loss with double the enthusiasm.

"Valentino's hit song 'Dinero'! Mano, you have such great taste! This song has won the Valentino's annual song award multiple times, and many people think it's suitable to be the Valentino's 'anthem'!"

Leo found a kindred spirit, bumped fists with his good brother Jack, and continued to enjoy the strong wind blowing in his face!

Today is April 2nd, the first day after April Fool's Day.

Tai Ping Chau will bleed for a day, but it's worth it because after the blood is drained, the dying patients will be given a new lease on life with the help of medication!

Chapter 399 Then let me ask you, why are the heads of the animal gang pointed!

They sped along and arrived at the northwest corner of Taiping Island in just a few minutes.

Just a few blocks away, you can see the giant Ferris wheel by the sea, and if you walk closer, you can see a slightly shorter roller coaster slide.

In the original blueprint for the tourist resort, the Grand Empire Shopping Mall and the seaside amusement park were supposed to be the jewels of Taiping Island.

But now... to say that this place is being overrated is an understatement.

This place is truly a place that can only be admired from afar, not approached up close.

As the convoy approached the area, Leo's brow remained furrowed, due to the ubiquitous illegal buildings, large piles of garbage, and roadblocks.

The intersection directly opposite the Grand Empire Department Store was a particularly hard-hit area.

To the east is the gate to Dog Town, which is heavily guarded year-round.

To the north is an underpass under a bridge, which has now become a slum. The wide four-lane road has been blocked off and reduced to a single lane, filled with the poorest homeless people and their makeshift tents.

South is the direction Leo and his group came from. This side is slightly better, with only an abandoned NCPD police station, currently occupied by the Cleaners and under heavy attack from the Wings of Liberty warriors.

As for the huge plaza area directly in front of the mall, let's just say that the wreckage of cars scrapped during the unification war is still left in the parking lot, which gives you an idea of ​​how dilapidated and desolate the place is.

Leo observed the situation and felt that the most urgent task after occupying Taipingzhou was to carry out a thorough cleaning, removing the car wrecks and various construction debris to make room for usable space.

Oh... we still need to fix the pipes. There's a natural gas pipe here in the parking lot that should be buried underground, but someone dug it up and broke it, so it's spewing gas out.

It's safe to say that these two are truly formidable members of the "North Watson, South Pacific" duo; their rivalry for last place among all areas of Night City is no accident...

Upon reaching the front, Leo looked out into the distance.

Several of the lettered signs on the Grand Empire Mall were missing, and there was a huge sign in the center of the building that appeared to depict... two men entangled together, one of them holding a whip...

It's pretty flashy... but also quite an eyesore.

Of the entire front area, only the oversized stone lion on the left side of the main gate, which has a very Chinese style, impressed Leo. He felt it could be polished and kept.

"Stop next to that outdoor food stall; it looks like some of our people are there."

Leo looked around and found a relatively spacious parking spot.

After the convoy passed, they indeed saw two small teams, a total of eight Freedom Wings warriors.

"Hello, Chief!"

As soon as he got off the vehicle, the soldiers shouted slogans in unison.

Leo was taken aback. He wondered which person, skilled at "reading the mind of the superiors," had come up with this slogan. It sounded strange, but he liked it nonetheless.

He smiled and nodded, then asked, "Is there any commotion inside the mall?"

The squad leader reported loudly, "In response to your question, the animal gang has been very well-behaved. Apart from initially trying to come out to investigate but being stopped by us, they haven't come out again."

"Hmm... You've worked hard. You guys should also join the raid. There are quite a few cleaners around here."

The soldiers were somewhat tempted, but still refused: "Commander, please allow us to follow you and provide protection!"

"No need. Don't underestimate us just because we're outnumbered. Dealing with this animal gang is a piece of cake." Leo confidently patted the squad leader on the shoulder. "Alright, go ahead and clean up the 'dirty stuff' as soon as possible so that the extra space can be allocated to our own people."

Seeing his insistence, the soldiers no longer hesitated, loudly agreed, and quickly set off to help the nearby friendly forces.

During their conversation, members of both teams stood in the back row as spectators.

The Immortal Squad was relatively better off, having grown accustomed to large-scale events. The Mann Squad exchanged glances discreetly, surprised by the increasingly powerful aura emanating from Leo.

According to rumors, L has only been in Night City for less than two months, so this speed of development is simply outrageous.

After watching the soldiers leave, Leo turned around with a flourish and waved casually: "Let's go too. I saw two big guys from the Animal Gang guarding the mall entrance. Let them announce our arrival, and we'll go straight to see the leader of the 'Primates'."

V perked up and hurried over to his side, leading the way together.

After a moment's hesitation, Mann couldn't help but ask, "Just the two of us?"

He looked around and found that there were four technicians in the team, but it seemed that there were only eight people who could actually fight.

Leo walked forward nonchalantly, his voice relaxed: "Don't be afraid, our team alone can wipe out the entire Animal Gang."

The members of the Immortal Squad chuckled, while only Lucy, a reserve member, blinked blankly.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Mann could only send a private message to his teammates, telling them to stay on high alert and to protect Leo if a fight broke out.

Three minutes later, the group of twelve people arrived at the main entrance of the mall.

The two burly men with pointed heads exchanged a glance and opened the metal roller shutter door for them.

Leo cut to the chase: "I am L. Take me to see the Savage King."

The muscular man with a bald head and strange spots on his body swallowed back the question he was about to ask and replied in a simple and honest voice, "Oh... alright then, the leader is in the gymnasium on the third floor, I'll take you there."

He didn't test him or ask any further questions; he just believed it.

Leo couldn't tell for a moment whether Leo had good insight and realized his identity, or whether he was simply brainless and believed whatever others said.

Considering that these are members of an animal gang whose brains are all muscle, he suspected it might be the latter.

In any case, they successfully entered the Great Empire Mall and, led by the big guy, took the stairs to the third floor.

On the north side of the third floor, half of the floor is an indoor gymnasium, and you can see an unbeatable sea view through the slightly old floor-to-ceiling windows.
