from night city

But it was Mayor Ryan.

The webmaster's expression changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

And it is.

Mayor Lane's first words were.

"I heard that the Uzumaki Gang from the Whole Foods Factory used trucks to smuggle in glitter. Is this true?"

The webmaster felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Only then did I realize that among these border guards there were the mayor’s spies.

It must be the mayor's spy who tipped the mayor off.

In this case, it was impossible for him not to admit it.

There is no army in Night City.

In addition to the NCPD and the Terrorist Mobile Team, they are also under the control of the city hall.

Everything else has been outsourced to companies.

For example, border inspection stations are staffed by military technology personnel.

Of course, the webmaster is also a military technology person.

As the webmaster, he was directly appointed by the company, and the city hall did not pay him a salary. Of course, he was not afraid of Mayor Lane.

But if the mayor goes to military technology.

I wanted to rip off Brick before, but I couldn't.

It's hard.

"You have done a good job on this matter. You have worked hard. However, you don't need to worry about the next thing. I will let the NCPD handle it. You can just have a good rest."

Chapter 22 No one knows NCPD better than me

The webmaster vomited blood.

It was the last thing he wanted to see.

He didn't let his subordinates report it to the company because he didn't want the company to get involved.

Unexpectedly, the company did not come, but Mayor Ryan came.

The process is different, but the result is still the same.

If you do nothing, not only will your wishful thinking fail, but the credit will also be taken away by others.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Wait a minute, Mayor Lane, I think there may be room for change."

"Huh? You talk about it."

"Whole Foods Factory has been providing food to the bottom of Night City. Their interests are already high, so there is no need to take risks. I guess there may be a few dirty guys under Brick who hide this from Brick. Did it secretly.”

"so what?"

"I don't think we need to send people to raid. We can call Brick out and let's talk about it together. Since it's his men who did the bad things, let him clean up the house on his own. Of course, he has to pay a fine as a warning. Follow suit."

Although the webmaster's words seemed like he was begging for mercy.

But if you use your brain a little, you will know that it is impossible for a border inspection station chief to intercede for a gang leader.

This was actually a tactful reminder to the mayor.

Being too tough will only result in a broken situation.

It's better to ask Brick for a favor.

Of course, the webmaster knew that if Mayor Ryan got involved, the mayor would definitely take away the bulk of the money.

Not to mention eating meat, if you can chew a bone, that's pretty good.

But even so, it's better than getting nothing.

You eat the meat, I gnaw the bones, and let old boy Brick drink the soup.

Hello, me, hello, everyone, is really good.

On the other end of the phone, Mayor Ryan's voice came slowly.

"I understand what you mean."

The webmaster couldn't help but feel excited: "Then mayor..."

"But I refuse! As the mayor of Night City, I am inseparable from evil. How can I be complicit in it?"

Mayor Lane was impassioned and his righteousness seemed to burst out from his eyes.

"Since you cracked such a big deal and provided important clues, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. But next time, don't ask me to remind you."

After saying that, Mayor Lane ended the communication.

Inseparable from sin?

The webmaster twitched the corners of his mouth with a mocking expression on his face.

He, the webmaster, also climbed up through the bloody power struggle within Military Technology.

How can we not know what Mayor Lane is thinking?

Although Night City is an independent city that does not belong to any country.

But it is not a dictatorship city after all.

Ryan has been in the position of mayor for quite some time.

More than once, he was accused of taking money from companies.

In fact, during the last election, it had already lost the support of the people and should have gone away long ago.

It was New America that "helped" him.

The last election in Night City happened to be during the Unification War.

New America attempts to capture the city and re-integrate Night City into its sphere of influence.

It was Ryan who "led" the heroic resistance of the citizens, and also invited an aircraft carrier from Arasaka (the latter is the key point).

Only then did they defeat the New American army and safeguard the independence and freedom of Night City.

Because of this incident, Ryan was able to avoid any danger in that election, reversed the decline in one fell swoop, regained the support of the majority of people, and was successfully re-elected.

Now, the mayoral election is half a year away and will be held again.

But not this time, the army of New America came to "help" him.

Not only that, but a new political star named Jefferson Peralez jumped out.

That guy either went to TV and participated in the popular program "Tonight's Talk", or appeared on the streets and appeared frequently.

Even the webmaster admits that Peralez's eloquence is contagious and provocative.

Even the webmaster's own family members planned to vote for Peralez.

The emergence of Peralez seriously threatens and shakes Ryan's foundation.

Therefore, it is not difficult to wonder why Mayor Lane insists on wiping out the Whole Foods factory.

If he can destroy a drug den during his term of office, it will still be a big den.

This is undoubtedly a great political achievement.

It can attract a lot of votes.

Thinking of this, the unwilling webmaster thought a little.

In fact, he has some dirty information about Ryan. Should he use this to threaten Ryan and make him change his mind?

But his mind soon changed.

Because when he takes off other people's underwear, his own underwear will also be taken off.

Moreover, Ryan will never tolerate others holding him back during elections.

The webmaster carefully weighed the pros and cons and couldn't think of any good solution, so he finally had to give up.

……

Watson District, North End.

The Whole Foods factory can be seen from the viaduct.

Su Xiao and V were sitting in the car.

Jack was lying on the guardrail of the viaduct.

After returning from Santo Domingo, the three of them first went to a roadside stall and bought some food.

Then I drove directly and came here.

On the way here, Su Xiao explained to Jack the intention of doing this.

To put it simply, they deliberately framed (it doesn’t seem to be said to be framed) the truck of the Whole Foods factory, and then caused the NCPD to target the Whole Foods factory.

But Jack didn't believe it.

He has been living in this garbage heap since he was born.

What kind of virtue is NCPD? He still doesn’t know?

They would only use this to blackmail and threaten the Uzumaki Gang in Whole Foods Factory, forcing the Uzumaki Gang to share the profits from selling Shining to them.

How could they send troops to attack the Whirlpool Gang?

Have you ever seen a crow with wings that are not black?

Jack came over and put his hand on the car window.

"I said, Su, how long do we have to wait here? They won't come."

"They'll come, just be patient, Jack."

Jack exhaled and said no more.
