After learning the information, V called Jack. There were some things she couldn't do alone.

"Jack?"

"This is Jack Wells. This is a recording call. Please leave a message after the beep..."

"Jack, this isn't funny."

Listening to Jack's fake synth voice, V crossed his hands and rolled his eyes, feeling speechless at Jack's humorless sense of humor.

"Hey, wait, it's V!" When Jack in the video saw clearly that the person on the other side was V, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"V, come to the Wild Wolf Bar, you have to save me!"

In the video, Jack lowered his voice and spoke anxiously, looking around furtively, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Seeing Jack like this, V frowned and realized that things were not simple.

Chapter 97 Jack Kairun!!!

Jack Wells, the boss of Heywood (self-proclaimed), the future legend of Night City (self-proclaimed), has now unexpectedly fallen from grace, and it was at the hands of his mother.

Regarding Jack's participation in the Arasaka Tower mission, which was almost like playing with his own head, Jack's mother, Mrs. Wells, the boss of the Wild Wolf Bar, said that she was so angry that she almost passed out due to her high blood pressure while watching the news.

After Jack fled back to the city, Mrs. Wells somehow got the news that Jack was hiding in the Old Victoria Clinic, so she drove from Haywood to Little Chinatown.

He rushed into the clinic with clenched fists and caught Jack, who was watching a boxing match with Dr. Victor and was sweating profusely.

After that, it was a tragedy.

Jack was packed up and escorted to the Wild Wolf Bar by his silent mother, who then closed the door and severely scolded Jack for not taking his own life seriously.

Finally, Jack received a big gift package of house arrest and was locked up at home for a week.

Jack was reluctant at first, but he could only say that this mission scared him, especially if Arasaka Company really didn't intend to let them go. Jack might be able to escape, but his mother and the Wild Wolf Bar, which was inherited from the Wells family, would be doomed.

Therefore, Jack was speechless and could only acquiesce to the house arrest. He thought that as long as it could make Mrs. Wells calm down, he would just hold it in for a few days.

But it was less than two days.

Jack completely regretted his decision. He simply couldn't stay at home. He was so bored that he was almost suffocated before the halfway point of the week.

Even if V doesn't find him, he's ready to run away.

"So, that's all?"

In the car, V, who was holding the steering wheel, raised his eyebrows after listening to Jack's tragic experience.

"Fuck, sister, what else do you want? You can't push me into a desperate situation."

Looking at V who was just watching the fire from the other side and saying that that was it, Jack rolled his eyes helplessly.

"By the way, why did you call me?"

Jack then realized that he had been complaining for a long time but still had no idea what V was calling him for.

"I want you to help me. After all, Xiao Bairui is in trouble and I have to go out. I was thinking if you can lend a hand when you are free."

V said this with certainty, looking at Jack slumped in the chair.

"But it seems that you are not free now, so forget it."

"Hey, hey, I'm free. I'm free, buddy."

Seeing V was about to leave, Jack quickly reached out his hand to keep him.

"V, you have to help me. If I really stay at home for a week, I will go crazy, absolutely."

Listening to Jack's earnest request, V smiled helplessly.

"Jack, this Mrs. Wells..."

V didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

She didn't dare to offend Mrs. Wells.

If she dared to release Jack secretly, Mrs. Wells would be the one to deal with her.

"Hey, V, your brother is in trouble, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"

It seems that Jack really can't stay at home, and he has already played the friendship card with V.

"Huh..." Looking at Jack's miserable appearance, V let out a sigh helplessly, as if he had made some decision.

"Well, Jack, I'll help you find a way to sneak out. What do you plan to do? Do you have any plan?"

"Yes, yes!"

As if he was afraid that V would refuse, Jack responded quickly.

"Ahem, let's do this. You drive to the alley behind the Wild Wolf Bar. I'll try to pry open the window, and you can find me a ladder nearby. It's simple and effective. Most importantly, as long as we move fast enough, Mom won't notice."

Jack swore solemnly, and it seemed that he had been thinking about running away for some time.

"Okay, I'll contact you when I get there."

V shook his head helplessly and hung up the phone.

This Jack is sometimes reliable, but sometimes he is really unreliable.

After a period of time.

V drove into the Highwood district and arrived at the back alley of the Wild Wolf Bar.

Starting from the Watson District and crossing the Civic Center is the vast Heywood District.

The Heywood district is considered to be a relatively less bad area in the entire Night City, and the Night City Police Department has also set the current threat level of Heywood as: "partially dangerous".

Therefore, Heywood is also known as "the largest livable place in Night City."

The public security here is good, and it is bustling with people and there are many tall buildings. Night City's City Council is also located here. This place has the largest middle-class group in Night City, who are the cornerstone of Night City's stability and an important voting base.

Latinos (mostly Mexican) are the main ethnic group in Haywood, but there are also many people of other ethnicities, and Haywood is generally a diverse area.

If you only look at the Heywood district, Night City can be considered a normal city.

Mrs. Wells also had complaints about this. V and Bai Rui did not stay in the Heywood district, but instead moved to the mixed Watson district. "This is simply asking for trouble," these were Mrs. Wells' original words.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on V's lips.

V did not object to Mrs. Wells's affection for them. Rather, he respected and appreciated this fierce mother-like character. After all, in Night City, it was rare to meet someone who truly cared about you. Mrs. Wells was such a good person in the traditional sense, possessing the enthusiasm and generosity that were rare in Night City. At least to V and Bai Rui, she was very good.

However, Mrs. Wells is so concerned that she sometimes forgets that neither she nor Bai Rui are idiots. They make a living as mercenaries.

Back to Haywood.

If you live a normal life, Heywood is indeed a good place, but Heywood is not entirely a good place. After all, one of the chronic diseases of Night City, the ubiquitous gang members, can also be found here.

The main gang in the Haywood area is the Valentino Gang, a gang that makes a living by money laundering, vehicle smuggling, arms, and gang robbery. At the same time, they also run some legal businesses such as restaurants, nightclubs, and car shops. Of course, the purpose of the latter is mainly to cover up the former.

The impression given by the Valentino gang members is their golden prosthetic bodies, exaggerated vests, glittering jewelry and tattoos of Jesus Christ. They are also characterized by a strong Catholic atmosphere. Of course, this is brought about by the Mexicans who make up the majority of the gang members.

However, although the Valentino Gang is very powerful in the Highwood District, it still has disputes with another major gang in Night City on the streets, that is, the "Six Street Gang" composed mainly of veterans and New American fanatics.

The Highwood District is subdivided into three districts: the Scenic Springs District, the Valley District, and the Beauty District.

Among them, the Meiquan District and the Valley District are the territories controlled by the Valentino Gang, but the most barren area, the Lijing District bordering the "Six Street Gang", is the territory fought over by the two gangs.

V stepped on the brakes, looked at the familiar scene around her and turned off the car. She had arrived.

"Hey Jack, I'm here, how are you getting ready?"

V dialed Jack's video call again.

"Oh, it's V. It's almost done. It's almost done. I'm struggling with this broken window..." Jack was sweating profusely. He was biting his tongue and concentrating on using a small saw to saw open the steel frame of the window.

"Like I said just now, help me find a ladder, I'll be there in no time!"

Jack tried his best to keep his voice down while sawing the steel frame, for fear that his mother would discover him if he ran away.

"Okay, a ladder, right?"

V hung up the video call and got out of the car.

The somewhat old street facing the side of the car was the back alley of the Wild Wolf Bar. V skillfully climbed up the iron gate at the door and flipped over.

Landing easily, V clapped his hands.

"Well, ladder... where can I find a ladder?"

Thinking about where to find a ladder, V walked around the alley several times before he found a half-built iron ladder at the entrance of an alley.

It should work.

Looking at the rusty ladder, V expressed some doubts.

But there's nothing else available, so just make do with it.

After convincing himself, V nodded, picked up the ladder with peace of mind, and went to the back of the Wild Wolf Bar.

"Hey, V, over here!"

Before V walked in, he saw Jack's half body and huge head sticking out of the window on the second floor of the Wild Wolf Bar, which was covered with graffiti on the back wall.

"Okay, okay, finally I don't have to stay at home anymore."

Seeing V coming with the ladder as promised, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jack, I'll hold you up, come on down!"

V leaned the ladder against the wall, and seeing that the distance was about right, he told Jack to move quickly.

She was afraid that Mrs. Wells would push the door open and see the big fool Jack, which would ruin her plan of escape.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Jack, who was eager to escape, didn't care about all these. He climbed onto the windowsill with his butt facing outwards and stretched his feet to reach the ladder.

As soon as he stepped on it, the rusty ladder creaked. However, there was no time to be picky at this point, so Jack continued to go down.

Follow the ladder and climb down the wall.

However, at the very end, when there were only five or six steps left, the creaking and shaking ladder finally couldn't hold on anymore, and it broke into two pieces with a crisp snap.

"Fuck me!"

When Jack was halfway up, he felt his body go empty. He suddenly widened his eyes in a bad feeling, and he felt that he had lost his grip on the half ladder and fell down.

"day!!!"

With a puff, Jack's butt fell cleanly to the ground, raising a pile of dust.

"I'm sorry, Jack."

Looking at Jack sitting on the ground holding onto a half ladder, V scratched his face embarrassedly.

Jack was so big that she didn't dare to try to catch him just now.

"Stop talking! Run!"

However, Jack didn't feel like complaining now. When he heard the loud noise he had made, he stood up with a grimace, covered his butt and was about to run away.

If you don't run now, the people from the Wild Wolf Bar will come out after hearing the noise, and you won't be able to escape then.

"Okay, my car is outside, hurry up!"

Seeing Jack so anxious, V also gathered his thoughts and led the way, acting as a guide.

Chapter 98 Persuasion and Physical Persuasion!!!

"Phew, it worked!"

Sitting in the car, Jack turned his head and looked back from time to time, fearing that several cars would rush out to catch him.

Only after the car drove away and confirmed it was safe did Jack relax and collapse on the chair.

"Thanks, V."

"You're welcome."

Jack acted as if nothing had happened, as if he was not the one whose butt was almost broken in two ten minutes ago. But V felt a little guilty, after all, she was the one who found the broken ladder.

"By the way, did you say that Bai Rui needed help with something? I do seem to have heard that."

At this time, Jack, feeling relieved, looked at V who was driving and raised his doubts.
