In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

"Well, I'll have to get a big one."

Jack picked up the "Ice Storm" sniper rifle with envy in his eyes. This thing is more like a sniper cannon than a sniper rifle. With one shot, even if it just touches the edge, it can blow the enemy into a pool of blood. It is a perfect choice for snipers with poor accuracy.

Jack picked up a few more magazines and put them on his waist before continuing.

"I'm in this alley. I have a clear view and can see into the parking lot. I'm right here, ready to support you at any time. As long as you detonate the explosives, I'll rush in at any time."

"Okay, then the plan is finalized. I'll go in and see if I can resolve this peacefully. If not, I'll take action when I come out."

"OK!"

At the entrance of the "Royal Flush" Casino, V, wearing a blue hoodie with a hat on and his hands in his pockets, walked to the entrance of the casino under the gaze of the guards.

"Hey, new face, I don't know you."

When the two thugs saw V was indeed walking towards them, they dropped their burning cigarette butts and stood up quickly.

"Why, don't you welcome new guests?"

V stood in front of the two thugs with his hands in his pockets, not looking at them at all.

"That's not the case, but we need to make the rules clear first. You have to change your money into chips or coins before you come here. You can play at your own level. If you think the money you play is too little, just go and tell the service staff."

Finally, the gangster looked at V before continuing.

"But I guess you don't need it. Go in."

The two thugs made way and behind them was the door to the casino.

V kept his expression unchanged and walked in.

Behind the door, the noise of the casino suddenly hit me in the face, with eager roars everywhere and groups of people gathered at tables. There were rows of slot machines along the white walls, and the screens were colorful, with incomprehensible icons scrolling and making electronic beeps.

However, this is the first floor, which should be a place for ordinary people to play, because V saw the magnificent decoration of the second floor in the surveillance, and those guys in suits playing quietly at small tables. That should be the VIP area.

"Hey, new customer, come here to exchange chips!"

A smiling waiter was behind the bar and waved to V who had just walked in.

"Hey, customer, come and have a look. What do you want to play? Slot machines? Or some Texas Hold'em? Or something classic, like exciting roulette?"

As the waiter spoke, he showed a pile of colorful plastic chips stacked high next to him.

"I'm not here to play."

V frowned under the hood. She didn't like the weird and frenetic atmosphere in the casino, so she stopped the waiter and prepared to get straight to the point.

"I'm here to see your boss, Bamond."

"Forehead......"

After hearing what V said, the waiter's smile froze on his face for a moment, but after he came to his senses, his face wasn't much better and fell immediately.

"Hey, no matter where you heard this name, don't make things difficult for yourself, okay? Leave here. Balmond doesn't like people coming here to mess around. He really doesn't like it."

The waiter had an unpleasant look on his face and stretched out his hand to signal V to leave. At the same time, at his signal, two thugs who were watching the place came over from behind, looked at each other, and prepared to kick this tactless guy out.

"You heard me, get out now!"

The gangster reached out and was about to grab the woman's shoulder.

But V glanced at the two people behind him.

The body suddenly moved.

With his body as swift as a swimming fish, V dodged the gangster's outstretched hand by turning his body, then twisted around and threw out a swift punch, which was like a stabbing blow but he stopped at the last moment, barely stopping in front of the gangster's eyes, and the wind from the fist even blew him in the face.

V put his fist in his face but didn't hit him.

At this point, according to the rules of Night City, he had already lost.

The opponent was also stunned in a very martial manner, so V also stopped his other fist that was about to hit the opponent's kidney.

"I'm from the 'next life'. I'm here to discuss business matters with your boss, Bamond. You just need to tell him that some things can't be resolved by delaying. He must give an explanation."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, V used the name of "Next Life" without hesitation. After all, it was "Next Life" who negotiated the deal with this group of guys, so it was just right to use it now.

"...There's a guy here who talks about 'the afterlife'."

Seeing this situation, the waiter did not dare to delay and immediately dialed his superiors in his mind.

"Okay, okay, yes, I understand."

After the waiter finished speaking, he looked at V in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Our boss is ready to see you. He's on the third floor."

"Thank you."

V responded casually and walked leisurely towards the elevator under the resentful eyes of several biker gangs who had rushed over.

As for that group of gamblers, it must be said that they were so addicted to gambling that even after such a commotion, they didn't even turn their heads back and continued to immerse themselves in the crazy secretion of dopamine brought by gambling.

These guys are totally hopeless, V shook his head at this.

After getting on the elevator, V checked the surveillance footage in his mind.

Now, she could hack into the building's surveillance system as easily as returning to her own home. She could just adjust the footage she needed. Next, she adjusted the footage to a luxurious office.

Inside, a burly man in a white suit was sitting on a leather sofa and talking behind a long desk.

I saw him leaning back in the chair, with a cigar in his mouth, giving instructions to his men.

"... Damn, the people from 'Afterlife', these bastards are really haunting us."

Balmond complained a few words, and seemed to be troubled by the matter of "afterlife".

Who said no.

After all, "Last Life" is a big force in Watson District, and it is also the place where various gangs negotiate business. Now that the business of "Last Life" has been offended, this is why Balmond is so annoyed.

Those guys took their status too seriously, thinking that they would just give up if they made a phone call to scare them. Now they sent another guy who they didn't know who he was, showing that they didn't take their "motorcycle gang" seriously at all.

Balmond's eyes gleamed fiercely in the smoke.

At this moment, the door opened.

Amid the resentful gazes of the gang members, V walked in generously. As soon as he came in, he went straight to the chair opposite Balmond and sat down, without any of the nervousness that one would have when entering the enemy's lair.

"So, 'Afterlife' sent a character like you here."

Seeing V's ignorant look, Balmond behind the mahogany desk laughed disdainfully.

"Yeah, let's see why you guys don't get out of here."

V also fought back against the other party's impolite words.

She took off her hood and shook her blue hair before leaning back in her chair and looking at the big white man sitting behind the desk, his white suit bulging out.

In this modern society, hackers are like ducks in water, and V has never felt so comfortable before.

The moment she entered the room, everything in the room connected to the LAN was indirectly controlled by her. In just a few seconds, the puppet virus software in her brain had been implanted into the air conditioner, computer, and TV with just one command from her.

Boom.

This room will be blown to pieces in an instant.

That's why she is so confident.

The other party thought this was his territory, but he was wrong. Now this place is under the control of her V.

"Hehe, you are worthy of being from the 'next life', you have such a bad temper."

Balmond did not have much doubt about V's origins. After all, he did receive a unilateral warning from "the afterlife" recently.

It is normal for people to come now.

However, Balmond also discovered something strange at this time. He squinted his eyes and looked at the mercenary in front of him, especially her blue hair, which was even more noticeable.

Female, blue hair, "afterlife", Balmond always felt that it sounded a little familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered the news that had caused a sensation in the city not long ago.

"You are...V, right."

Balmond pronounced the name.

As the name came out, his expression began to become serious.

He didn't expect that this guy would come.

Chapter 101 There is a gun on the table, so it will definitely be used!!!

"Yes, I am V."

When V heard Balmond reveal his name right away, he didn't seem surprised. He just folded his hands and nodded confidently.

To be honest, the heyday of the Gambi Building has only just passed, so it is normal for others to know my name now.

After all, in Night City, information security is a joke.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that 'Next Life' thought so highly of me that they would send out a mercenary like you."

Balmond knew that the person in front of him was V, the one who had caused chaos in Arasaka Company. He was very casual. He leaned his feet on the desk, took out a new cigar and lit it with the cigarette lighter.

"Since you are a somewhat famous person, I will reluctantly give you some support. Don't be a fool to be teased by others."

Balmond spoke in a veiled and blunt manner, and V kept silent, waiting to see what the other party would say.

"My guess is that the owner of the land below sold the building to some unlucky person, and 'Laisheng' acted as the middleman."

Balmond exhaled a puff of smoke, pointed his finger at the ground with satisfaction, and said, pointing at the building.

"Yes, almost."

V folded his hands and waited to see how the other party would explain.

"I say, are you blind?"

Balmond frowned and looked displeased at V's indifferent attitude.

"Did you see clearly what this place is when you came in? A casino, understand? I opened a casino."

"You don't even know how much money I make. Every idiot in this city is willing to hand over money to me. Do you think I'm short of money?"

Balmond looked at the table, talking about money as if it were a pile of waste paper.

"Now you can think a little about why I don't want to pay the owner of the property."

"What do you mean?" Looking at the cruel smile on the other party's lips, V frowned and began to guess in his heart.

"You mean, it's a case of black eating black?"

V thought for two seconds and expressed his guess.

"Yes, you must have been to college, you guessed it right!"

Balmond clapped his hands in a very formal manner, as if praising V's "cleverness".

"Because I was about to kill that loser, and that guy can't hide for much longer."

"It should have been like this..."

Balmond held a cigar in his mouth and looked at V opposite him.

"As a result, you idiots from 'Next Life' didn't even consider the situation and broke into my plan. You bought this building from that idiot, and that idiot hid the truth from you. Don't you understand?"

After hearing what Balmond said, V frowned.

I seem to have a pretty good idea of ​​the whole story.

The owner of the property had a conflict with the tenant. No, to be more specific, Balmond unilaterally wanted to kill the owner of the property. As a result, at this time, Bai Rui rented this room by accident.

No wonder the price is so cheap, it turns out there is such a big pit inside.

All I can say is that if you hunt geese all day long, you will eventually get pecked by them. Her clever Bai Rui didn't expect that she would fall into this trap.

Night City is full of traps, and you can get trapped in them if you are not careful.

Also, doesn’t this Rogge do intelligence work?

I don’t even know if the house is in someone else’s hands.

V complained in his heart, but finally looked up and prepared to finish the matter.
