from night city

Ken had only heard of power armor from the three Gossip families (Kangtao, Arasaka, and Military Technology), but had never seen one.

Therefore, the first thing she thought of was not the power armor, but the prosthetic body.

After all, in today's year 2077, the development of prosthetics is dazzling and endless, and it is not surprising what kind of appearance they will appear.

But this was the first time Ken saw a prosthetic body that covered the entire human body like armor.

Although he was deeply shocked, Ken was still a mercenary walking on the edge of life and death.

He quickly realized that now was not the time to be in a daze.

She forced herself to calm down and forced a smile.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know what your purpose is. How about this, I pretend I haven't seen you before, and you let me go, okay?"

"In return, I can..."

Ken still had a fawning smile on his face.

But a gun barrel suddenly stuck out from under her tongue, and an armor-piercing bullet was fired at Su Xiao.

Then, I was willing to look at the results without even looking at them.

He quickly waved his hands behind his head and threw out several grenades with the safety unplugged.

Lidya Su's figure flashed to the side.

Dodge incoming armor-piercing bullets.

Then he crossed his hands protectively in front of him.

boom!boom!boom!

Smoke filled the air.

But a figure rushed out of the smoke unscathed.

He grabbed Ken's neck with one hand and lifted her up.

A fierce look flashed across Ken's face, he pulled out a tactical dagger from his waist and stabbed Su Xiao in the face fiercely.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and Ken's eyes quickly became dim.

The arm that stabbed Su Xiao fell down weakly.

……

A few minutes later, several Tiger Claws ran into the room.

They were all shocked when they saw Ken lying motionless on the ground.

He quickly ran over to check the situation.

As a result, just as they turned Ken over on the ground, they heard a very clear sound, like the sound of some safety being opened.

That was of course the sound of the booby trap opened by Su Xiao deliberately placed under Ken's body.

boom!

There was another huge explosion, and smoke and fire rushed out from the windows of the worship hall.

Su Xiao outside the courtyard didn't even look at the explosion behind her.

He held a kinetic energy weapon in each hand, thrusting wildly.

As long as the Tiger Claw Gang appears in his sight, he will basically kill them as soon as they show up.

He came out of the worship hall and fought his way out from the courtyard.

He doesn't use his own firearms at all, but specializes in picking up guns from the corpses of dead enemies.

He killed at least dozens of people from the Tiger Claw Gang.

The rest hid in the building and shivered, never daring to show up again.

Calculating the time, reinforcements from the Tiger Claw Gang should already be on the way.

Su Xiao ignored the remaining frightened Tiger Claw Gang.

When I came to the parking shed, I pulled out a "Kusanagi CT-3X", got on the motorcycle and quickly left the shrine.

After he left, the few remaining people dared to walk out of the building tremblingly.

Looking at the ruins of the Shinto shrine, the survivors looked at each other in shock.

……

A convoy of several "Kusanagi CT-3X" motorcycles and two red muscle cars painted with the Tiger Claw logo were driving on the only way to the Shinto Shrine in Japan Street.

They were the first batch of reinforcements that set off from the nearest Tiger Claw Gang stronghold to support the Shinto Shrine.

They don't know what happened in the shrine

All they know is that the shrine was attacked and the Tiger Claw gang stationed there suffered heavy losses.

As for the enemy...

Even though they suffered heavy losses, the Tiger Claw Gang in the Shinto Shrine did not know how many enemies they had.

Only know

There were explosions, fires, smoke and gunshots everywhere.

There is no doubt that this is a gang conflict, but it may also be a precursor to a gang war.

Probably the Uzumaki Gang.

But it is also possible that other gangs are pretending to be the Whirlpool Gang, with the purpose of provoking a war between the Tiger Claw Gang and the Whirlpool Gang in order to profit from it.

"Wait, there's a car ahead?!"

The Tiger Claw Gang's convoy looked at Su Xiao who appeared on the other side of the road in astonishment, riding on a "Kusanagi CT-3X" motorcycle, heading in their direction without hesitation.

"Could that guy just be..."

Although the "Kusanagi CT-3X" is used a lot by the Tiger Claw Gang, this car is not only sold to the Tiger Claw Gang.

But the whole body is wrapped in silver-white armor, which is completely consistent with the description of the enemy in the information reported by the Shinto Shrine.

Before the commander of the convoy ordered the attack, they saw Su Xiao raising his arms.

On both arms, the armor at the elbows deformed, with two launch tubes extending out.

shhh-

Two anti-armor missiles penetrated under the hood of the muscle car, causing a violent explosion.

The shock wave caused by the explosion swept through the convoy, and the other Tiger Claws riding motorcycles suddenly fell to pieces.

Su Xiao took out a kinetic submachine gun and killed the Tiger Claw Gang who fell to the ground one by one. Until there was no one left alive, he turned the front of the car and jumped directly from the guardrail next to the highway.

It quickly disappeared along the hillside into the vast night.

……

The news that the Tiger Claw Gang's stronghold was attacked again made headlines on various TV stations the next day.

A few months ago, they were attacked once at the Phoenix Casino in the Kabuki District.

The one who died that time was Shoho Jotaro, a leader of the Tiger Claw Gang.

Although no cadres were killed this time, it was not much better.

Nearly a hundred members of the Tiger Claws died in the Shinto shrine.

Thirty members of the Tiger Claw Gang who came to support died on the road to the Shinto Shrine.

For a time, various rumors in the city seemed to have wings, spreading farther and farther, and there were many derivative versions.

Some say this is the beginning of a gang war, with the Maelstrom gang soon attacking the Tiger Claws in force.

Some people say that this is the result of military technological intervention.

Everyone knows that the Tiger Claw Gang is Arasaka's black glove. Attacking the Tiger Claw Gang and weakening their strength is actually equivalent to weakening Arasaka's strength.

Not to mention that the territory occupied by the Tiger Claw Gang is enough to make the Six Street Gang, which is supported by military technology, jealous.

Of course there is an even more outrageous version:

——It has nothing to do with gang wars or military technology.

All of this was just a young mercenary who took a job from a middleman to deal with someone hiding in a Shinto shrine.

As for the losses suffered by the Tiger Claw Gang, it was just to deceive others.

But ten people didn't believe this version of the rumor.

Are you making dumplings just for this bit of vinegar?

Dude, how much did you drink?

Not really, really not.

……

Japan Street, inside the pachinko shop.

"What whirlpool gang, what military technology..."

Okada Wakako sneered.

But then it turned into a deep sigh.

She has many sons.

But none of them seem to have inherited her intelligence.

"But, mother..."

The confused voice of the eldest son came from the phone.

"If you can't understand some things, it's useless no matter how much I say. Okay, go tell your brothers and ask them to calm down and hold their own."

"The Tiger Claw Gang's biggest problem is not outside, but inside. If you take good care of yourself and don't cause trouble, you will be lucky."

Putting down her phone, Wakako took off her glasses and placed them on the table.

Lean back on the chair.
