After all, he had Haywood blood in his veins, and even if he quit the gang, the friendship of the Valentino Gang would follow him to his grave.

To some extent, the Valentino Gang is also the most loyal gang in Night City.

"But thank you, David. If it weren't for you, those kids from Valentino would have been beaten badly by the bastards from the Sixth Street Gang."

"Well, it's okay. I just happened to receive a mission from the headquarters."

David smiled, picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

"Tsk, tequila with pomegranate juice and lime again..."

The sourness flowing through his throat made his face twisted.

"Haha, you're still not used to it?"

"Of course, you're the only one who likes this taste."

David put the glass back on the table and waved to the waitress, asking her to bring a bottle of whiskey.

Of all the drinks, whiskey was the only one that gave him greater satisfaction.

Although the taste is equally strong, he likes the mixed caramel, vanilla or toffee flavors.

"Tell me about yourself. You look very tired. You must have been very busy in recent months, right?"

"Yeah, very busy."

David rubbed the bridge of his nose and slowly relaxed his body leaning back on the sofa.

"Maybe some company is going to make some big move, so the security is being strengthened."

"Well...I heard some gossip about this."

Jack hesitated for a moment and decided to tell him what he had heard: "I heard that recently, Saburo's son Arasaka Yorinobu will come to take over the business of Night City."

"Is this true? Is it really Arasaka Yorinobu?"

He was no longer sleepy when he heard the name Arasaka Yorinobu.

This guy is here, which means we are not far from relic.

"Of course I'm not kidding. I have first-hand inside information."

"Your insider information is your good buddy V, right?"

David glanced at the burly man next to him, but Jack was not embarrassed and admitted it openly.

"Yes, it's V."

"Ah...."

David couldn't help but laugh, and then he seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "Wait, you're not looking for me today because of V, right?"

"Don't blame me for not telling you. You know about the mess between Arasaka and I. It's not over yet. I don't want to get into any more trouble, otherwise the captain won't let me go."

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you..."

Jack scratched his head with a silly smile: "But don't worry, V's job will definitely not be difficult, and he's generous!"

"Really?"

"Really! I'm not asking you to kill Saburo or Lai Xuan, don't worry."

"...It would be great if we could really kill these two, and kill Arasaka Hanako and Arasaka Michiko at the same time."

In this way, all the troubles will disappear and you can leave the rest to other companies.

However, he did not say this to Jack, he just thought about it in his mind.

At this moment, the waiter had brought the wine, and at the same time a beautiful woman came down from the stairs of the Ritz Bar.

It's just that her dress didn't fit in with the people here, and even people passing by looked at her with disgust. But the woman didn't seem to care about other people's looks and walked straight towards here.

"Hey, V, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you!"

Jack opened his arms to welcome the approaching woman.

However, V's expression was not so good.

"Why, you have so much lawsuit on your mind, come and tell us about it."

"..."

V did not answer, but cast his gaze to David beside him, frowning slightly: "Why is he here?"

"What, aren't you welcome?"

David poured himself a glass of wine and responded with a polite smile.

"V, don't be like this, we are all brothers, and I called David here to help you."

Jack acted as a peacemaker in the middle. To be honest, the conflict between V and David mainly came from Arasaka.

If Arasaka hadn't been in the middle, he estimated that these two would definitely become good friends.

And V also gave Jack face. After looking at David for a while, she stretched out her slender legs again, her sharp high heels tapping on the floor, and walked to the booth and sat down.

"Long time no see, Jack."

"It's been a long time indeed. We haven't seen each other since we had a drink here a few months ago."

The two began to exchange pleasantries.

David had no intention of joining in, he just sat there drinking silently.

From time to time, he looked at the door leading to the private room in the bar on the first floor and thought.

Should I go say hello to Judy?

But I gave up after thinking about it.

If we look for Judy now, she will definitely not be able to come out for a while, and there is also V’s matter here.

"Okay, today we are not here to chat, let's talk about your business."

The two ended their pleasantries.

But V gave a warning: "Let me make it clear... this matter can only be known by the three of us, and no one else can know."

While speaking, V did not forget to glance at David a few times, and his words were very clear, he was speaking to David.

"Por supuesto." (Of course.)

"I'm serious... This could ruin me."

Seeing Jack's relaxed expression, V's voice became a little heavier.

"Are you worried about me? You know me. I've helped you keep secrets before."

"Remember that incident at the Mexican border? If I missed a word..."

"I know, you saved my life..."

V ended up switching his words and looking at David again, "But you know I'm not talking about you."

She could definitely trust Jack, but David...

To be honest, she and David had too little contact, and the last incident delayed her in Night City for a long time. She failed to resolve the Frankfurt issue in time, which resulted in her boss not getting the position of Director of Special Operations, but that bitch Abernathy succeeding in taking the position.

It was because of this incident that she appeared here.

It can be said that David indirectly influenced her.

"Oh, you mean David..."

Jack showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "But don't worry, you know him too. There is a big conflict between him and Arasaka. Besides, David is a good person, he will definitely keep the secret for you."

"Dear Jack, don't you believe me when I vouch for you?"

Although Jack looks silly on the surface, he sees things very clearly.

In particular, he understood V's vigilance and concern for David, so he never said it out loud.

The most important thing is that Jack asked David to participate in this event, actually hoping to reconcile the conflict between David and V.

He didn't want his best friends to become mortal enemies.

For Arasaka, it's not worth it.

"All right..."

V chose to compromise, took out a separation chip from his arms and handed it over, "Data chip - take a look."

Jack took the chip, but did not insert it immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked, "How about...you take a look first?"

"Forget it, you should read it first."

David waved his hand, declining the offer.

"Well, let's let your dear Jack see what's inside..."

Jack inserted the chip into the slot, his eyes glowing blue as he looked up the data.

"Well...well...I'll go..."

After taking a quick look at the contents, Jack pulled out the chip and handed it to David: "Take a look too."

Then he turned around and said, "The money for this job can't be small, and it has to be done secretly - no wire transfers, only cash."

Seeing Jack become a little serious, he was also a little curious about the contents inside.

However, this chip seems to have an inexplicable fragrance and body temperature. Could it be from V?

He glanced at the beautiful woman in work clothes, then inserted the chip.

What can I say about the content inside...I can only say that V is really bold.

The data inside is all about Arasaka's top brass, Special Operations Director Susan Abernathy.

These included biometrics, trauma team cards, and even Abernathy's accounts at Night City Credit Union, Marmo Bank, and Matterhorn Swiss Bank.

In addition, there are security arrangements around her and information about her lover and husband.

A 25-year-old named Claudette Daliso, who was the department manager of Contao's continental US branch, had been in a lover relationship with Susan for two years.

The other is Rafael Daliso, 35, the department head of Zeta Technologies' special operations division, who had been married to Susan for four years and discovered she was having an affair.

These two people look like relatives or brothers.

I have to say, this woman is really amazing, no matter from which level.

One is Kangtao, the other is Zeta Technology, both of them have people...

"What do you think, David?"

When he took out the chip, Jack had finished talking to V and everyone turned their eyes to him.

"Emmm...Should we kill her? It would be a little tricky if we did."

"Right, right? So it's thanks to you, a professional, that we found this. But I guess we still need a hacker with a super brain and a driver who dares to race in hell..."

Jack's words were already clear.

This is not a job for humans. No one would dare to take it.

If this really happens, it will not only offend Arasaka, but also Kantao and Zeta Technology.

"I'm sorry, Jack. The situation is very delicate and this matter is indeed very difficult. I know that. That's why we need to find someone we can trust." V also looked embarrassed.

"So, how much are you going to pay?" David suddenly interrupted, leaving V a bit confused: "What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, how much are you going to pay to get rid of this Susan Abernathy? A conservative estimate is at least several million, because that's the price a special operations director is worth."

David took a sip from his wine glass to moisten his throat and continued, "Besides, this is just an assassination. There's no need to think too much. Just rush through it."

"Yeah, Así es (That's right), there's no such thing as a subtle relationship, sister." Jack also echoed.

But even after saying this, the melancholy on V's face never disappeared: "Jack, you also know the rules of Arasaka... Oh, OK, maybe you don't know."

"When an order like this comes my way, I can't refuse it."

"But I can, and so can David. And if I refuse now, you should refuse too."

Jack didn't give V any face at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a job that will get you killed.

The special operations director who assassinated Arasaka?
