from night city

While raising the question, Su Xiao looked at Mr. Hands carefully.

He didn't know what Hanz looked like when he was still in the company, but now he looked a bit like Pedro Pascal.

It’s the actor from The Red Viper , The Mandalorian , and Joel .

"I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry for the shootout you encountered on the viaduct in Santo Domingo a few days ago."

"The mastermind behind the Animal Gang, turned out to be you?"

Lidya Su couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

As mentioned above, he had never had any dealings with Mr. Hands, so theoretically, there was no enmity between them, let alone Mr. Hands hiring a murderer.

Moreover, if it was really Mr. Hands who instigated it, then what was he doing here alone at Stoneridge Mountain now?

Schizophrenia?

Seeing that Lidya Su had misunderstood, Hanz was so nervous that he hurriedly explained.

"No, you misunderstood. I did not instruct the Animal Gang to attack you. This is actually what happened..."

After Mr. Hanz's explanation, Su Xiao finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that before they used an armed drone to send Hector into the sky, Hector contacted Mr. Hands, hoping that Mr. Hands could help Hector get in touch with the most powerful animal gang. Telephone.

What Mr. Hands originally prepared for Hector was the force of the Savage King, currently the strongest member of the Animal Gang.

But unfortunately, they now have an employer. As for who the employer is, Mr. Hanz cannot reveal it to Su Xiao, because it has nothing to do with what they are talking about now. In short, the Savage King cannot spare time.

So Mr. Hands found Hector, the Animal Gang, currently the second strongest force after the Savage King.

That was the animal gang that attacked them.

However, Mr. Hands was only responsible for contacting them, and he had no idea what the specific conversation between Hector and the animal gang was.

Although this is very inconsistent with the rules of Night City, it is the fact.

Chapter 2 Sixty: Although you have nothing, you have freedom (3K)

In Night City, employers and mercenaries communicate through intermediaries. Depending on the situation, they may meet or not.

But no matter which case it is, the middleman responsible for matchmaking knows the entire content and all the details.

But Hector just regarded Mr. Hands as a 114 directory counter. After getting the number, he threw Mr. Hands aside. What Hector said to the Animal Gang next, Mr. Hands did not know. Not aware either.

It was only today after watching the news that Mr. Hands learned what happened on the viaduct in Santo Domingo.

When his subordinates told him that among the attacked, there was Su Xiao, Mr. Hanz's heart almost stopped.

He never expected that this deal would involve Lidya Su.

You must know that Su Xiao is now very famous in the underground world of Night City.

Since Night City was founded by Richard Knight, many mercenaries working in this city have become legends.

But like Su Xiao, he is the only one who did not want to become a legend, but chose another path - to establish a company.

To build a company, especially a military security contractor, you need not only money but also connections, both of which are indispensable.

Therefore, the middlemen and mercenaries in the city were discussing quietly in private, suspecting that there must be someone behind Su Xiao, and they didn't know which big boss was standing behind him.

Therefore, when Mr. Hanz learned that Su Xiao was attacked, he was so frightened that he even did not hesitate to expose his true identity and hurried over from Taipingzhou.

Just to apologize in person to show sincerity.

After listening to Mr. Hanz's explanation, Su Xiao suddenly realized.

That's what happened.

Hector is really a good guy. He didn't repeat his old trick and send the Salamanca Group's killers over. Instead, he directly found a middleman in Night City to solve the problem.

very smart.

But unfortunately, this is the last time he plays conspiracy.

As for Mr. Hanz's words, Su Xiao is more inclined to believe that he did not lie to himself.

Because he has always maintained an image of "repaying grievances directly", if Mr. Hands knew about it, he should run away as soon as possible instead of throwing himself into a trap with a sense of luck.

They all have reached the position of top middlemen. They are not fools, and they will not regard others as fools.

The kind of person who treats others as fools and treats others with simple words that are easy to fool is the real fool.

However, even if Mr. Hands does not know, what has happened, especially

No matter how you describe this matter, it is related to Mr. Hands and cannot be brushed aside with the word "uninformed."

More importantly, Su Xiao didn't want to give people the impression that he was a bad guy who was "easy to talk" and "easy to bully".

"I know the whole story, but... Mr. Hands, no matter what, this matter still has something to do with you, so I don't think you came here with just a mouth, right?"

Hanz smiled and said sincerely: "Of course not, I am willing to pay [-] euros for your mental damages."

When Su Xiao heard this, she almost laughed out loud on the spot.

A mere hundred thousand euros, who are you looking down on?

Or, in the eyes of Mr. Hands, his life is only worth [-]?

"One hundred thousand euros? If I was just a small mercenary, this one hundred thousand euros would be enough to buy my life. But in this situation, Mr. Hands, if you are only willing to give out one hundred thousand euros, is that right? Too insincere?"

After hearing Su Xiao's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat visibly oozed out on Hanz's forehead.

He quickly changed his words: "You said, then 20... No! 30 for mental damages!"

At 30 euros, this price is indeed much better than before.

However, if Mr. Hanz had offered to pay 30 euros in compensation from the beginning, Su Xiao would have accepted the money, and the matter would have been over.

But he was only willing to take one hundred thousand at the beginning. This kind of tentative attitude, like sending a beggar away, made Su Xiao very unhappy.

What he hates most is others testing him.

I don't like being played like a fool.

"50, give me 50, and I'll just pretend that this didn't happen, and we can still have fun in the future."

"50 million, this..."

50 million is not a small number.

Although Mr. Hands will not empty out his family just because of 50.However, the amount of compensation was still far beyond Mr. Hanz's expectations.

Originally, before he came, he had already prepared that Su Xiao would ask for compensation from him.

This is normal. If his position with Su Xiao were changed, he would also ask Su Xiao for compensation.

At this time, don't talk about human feelings or relationships, or relationships.

Because, if they are really brothers/buddies/friends, there is no need to talk at all, and they will do their best to satisfy you without saying a word.

Only those who are unwilling to give money will take advantage of favors and relationships.

This is just like the boss who always likes to make a fuss about the company's prospects only if the money is not enough.

However, Mr. Hanz’s estimated compensation amount is about 30 at most.

You must know that although Su Xiao was attacked, he was not injured.

This is 30 euros, which should be enough.

But he didn't expect that Lidya Su would ask for 50 yuan in compensation.

This made Mr. Hands unable to resist bargaining.

"Mr. Su, is this 50 yuan compensation too much?"

Hanz felt a little wronged.

He is just a middleman, or a microphone.

It was not him who instigated the Animal Gang to attack Su Xiao.

But as soon as he got the news, he rushed over immediately.

Hands thought he had given enough sincerity.

But Lidya Su still has to spend so much money on her own, which is a bit overwhelming, right?

"Don't call me Mr. Su, you can call me Boss Su, or President Su."

Mr. Hands was stunned.

Then I understood Su Xiao’s intention of emphasizing the title.

He had just been focusing on the difference between 30 and 50, but he had forgotten that Su Xiao was no longer just an ordinary mercenary, but the president of a company.

Although the address of this company is still just a construction site, although this company is not famous at all, and its scale is pitifully small.

But it is a company after all.

Perhaps giants like Arasaka and Military Technology can look down on such small companies, but middlemen like me don't dare to look down on them.

Therefore, although it is a bit heartbreaking how much money was spent, it is not an injustice.

"Sorry, I was confused just now. What you said makes sense. 50 is 50. However, I don't have that much money with me now. I will have someone send the money to you in a few days. You can see it ?"

Su Xiao, who was aggressive just now, suddenly showed a smile like a spring breeze and said kindly.

"Of course there's no problem."

He is not afraid of Hanz. This is a temporary solution. 50 yuan makes him feel heartache, but it is just heartache, nothing more.

Hanz stood up: "I still have something to do there, so I'll leave first."

Just when he and Su Xiao passed each other, he only heard Su Xiao's voice ringing beside him.

"Wait a minute, one more thing, Mr. Hands, although you said you didn't know the contents of Hector's deal with the Animal Gang, but since you were the one who helped Hector find it, you must know about the Animal Gang. Where is the lair, am I right?”

Hanz was shocked and quickly realized what Su Xiao wanted to do.

On the one hand, he felt lucky for his decisive surrender just now, but on the other hand, he sold the animal gang without hesitation.

After nightfall, Santo Domingo looks particularly quiet.

This is the edge of the Coronado Farm in Santo Domingo. There are only two areas in Santo Domingo, one is the river valley and the other is the Coronado Farm.
