Chapter 40: Jack's Trouble(2/2)
"Mercenary team? Whose team?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.
He doesn't go to anyone's team. He has worked with other teams before, but the other team always held him back, so he ended up being a lone wolf.
Being a lone wolf is also pretty good. Although you don’t have any teammates, you can get the mission money by yourself!
"Mann, he should be quite famous recently, but you just came back from the bad land, so the news may not be very..."
"Mann? Dios (God)! Are you talking about the mercenary team that has suddenly emerged in Night City recently? Hey, do you really know them, can you help me get in touch with them?" Jack's face was filled with joy,
He looked at Lin Wen with some surprise.
This was beyond Lin Wen's expectation. He looked at Jack and said, "I thought you wouldn't know about Mann and his gang after staying in the bad land for so long..."
"Amigo! Are you kidding me? I'm a seasoned mercenary. I just came back last night and sorted out the recent events in Night City, okay?" Jack drank up the tequila,
Then he said loudly: "They are famous now. Many big bosses are paying attention to them. I heard that they even entered the afterlife and had a drink with Rogge last night? Is this true?"
"You mean you are willing?" Lin Wen smiled.
It went somewhat smoothly...I thought it would take a lot of effort to get Jack to join Mann's team as a cowboy.
Jack is not a rookie, on the contrary, he is also a very capable person on the street. It can be seen from the fact that he is one of the few guys who can escape from the gang that he has strength.
However, Jack's luck doesn't seem to be very good. After several years of working, he still hasn't made a big name.
And... at a closer look, Lin Wen found that the degree of transformation of Jack's prosthetic body was not high. At least, he did not transform himself like Mann, and he still used purchased firearms.
So will it be stronger after the transformation?
But Jack, who had always been excited, suddenly drooped his face and said with some frustration:
"Hey, if it were any other time, I think I would have agreed happily, because I am in need of money recently. The business the Mann Team does are all big orders, which is different from the sneaky things I did before.
.But, I have recently offended a few guys while doing business in the Badlands, and they have sent messages to cause trouble for me."
Jack touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "A few intermediaries have sent messages to get rid of me, so are you sure the Mann team still wants me?"
"Middleman? What happened?"
"A little thing, the guy who gave me the mission and his nemesis..."
Jack was about to say something, but Lin Wen suddenly interrupted.
The middleman... Let's talk to Rogge. Rogge has spoken, so we have to give her some face on the road, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Wen waved his hand and interrupted Jack: "Forget it, stop talking."
"What do you mean?" Jack was stunned.
"The kid next to me is a member of Mann's team. I had an agreement with Mann last night. As long as you are willing to go, he is willing to accept you. I will send you Mann's contact information later. You and him
Let’s talk?”
"Are you sure? The trouble I got into is quite big. Those middlemen are quite famous in Watson and Santo Domingo. Do you know Dexter? He is awesome. The guy I got into is the same as De
Kester has a good relationship."
"Dexter, is he awesome?" Lin Wen frowned. He only knew the name of Roger...
"The most awesome kind!" Jack was a little frustrated. "Otherwise, why would I be sitting here now? My business has not been completed, and now my pockets are empty. I am not a person who just sits around and eats at home. But there is no one on the road now.
People dare to give me goods, but I can’t contact the middlemen who are not afraid of them, and those big bosses don’t even look at me.”
"How awesome is it? How about Rogby?" Lin Wen suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Let me ask you, Dexter or Rogby, who is more awesome?"
Jack stared at Lin Wen with his eyes wide open, with a look of fool on his face: "This and that are comparable. If he wants to compete with Rogby, then he is a piece of shit!"
"You just said he was the most awesome." David interjected from the side.
Jack stuck his head out, looked at David, and said displeasedly: "But compared to Rogby, he can only be a piece of shit, that's Rogby!"
"That's no problem. How about you join Mann's team and do three missions for free, and then I'll help you settle this matter?" Lin Wen looked at Jack and said.
If you think about it, Rogge is worried about not being able to get involved with Lin Wen.
Jack should tell Roger about this matter, and she will be happy to help settle it. She needs Lin Wen to owe her a favor, even if it is only a very small favor.
However, Lin Wen is also willing to deal with Rogge. After all, we are all from the same era. It is inevitable that... there will be some sympathy for each other?
Another thing, Lin Wen needs Rogge to help take care of David and Mann.
"If it really works, that's a damn good thing!"
"Three orders? Ten orders, I'll do them all for free!" Jack said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
He told Heywood's intermediary about the incident, including the incident and the secret behind it, but the priest told him that it was indeed him who broke the rules on the road. Even if there was a secret, Jack had no evidence. The other guy
They are all dead... So it stands to reason that Jack should be killed now and used as a negative example, but the priest came forward to speak, plus Jack's previous gang identity, and... Mrs. Wells's prestige in Heywood,
That's why Jack didn't die on the way back to Night City.
He was really scared on the way back to Night City, but now...Jack suddenly felt a little relaxed.
If it can be settled, that would be a damn good thing!
But at this moment, the sound of car horns sounded outside the Wild Wolf Bar. There was not just one car, but many cars.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people walked into the Wild Wolf Bar.
When Mrs. Wells saw the visitor, her eyes turned cold and she looked at a double-barreled shotgun.
"Where's Jack Wills? Come out!"
A man wearing a cowboy hat and chewing a cigar said loudly with a gloomy face.
Behind him were a dozen heavily armed young men.
"Fuck you!" Jack stood up immediately.
"Squall, let us resolve the matters between us ourselves. This is Heywood, this is the Wild Wolf Bar. What the hell do you want to do by bringing people in? Do you want to have a fight with me?"
The man named Squall, wearing a cowboy hat and a short gun, grinned, chewed a cigar, looked at Jack and cursed: "How brave! No wonder the priest wants to cover you, but I tell you, Wells, this
It's not that fucking easy. You broke the rules and someone protected you. I can't kill you, but you want this to end?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Taking out the short gun, Squall looked at Jack ferociously, puffed out his cigar, and said angrily:
"You dare to be double-dealing with me? You took over my job, but you still want to mess with me? That guy Barbie has been killed by me. Dexter personally spoke, you either give me half a million today, or you
Give me two hands, or work for me for a year, no, I don't dare accept a bastard like you."
"You fart! Didn't you fucking want to kill me first?"
"It's useless to talk. We're all waiting. Please get out now!" Squall looked around and saw three guys with golden arms looking over coldly. His tone became lighter and he said, "What Dexter meant."
"..."
Soon, the bar was emptied.
Mrs. Wells and the bartender looked at Squall indifferently.
Jack's face also turned red with anger.
Fuck the middlemen, f*ck the brokers, f*ck Night City!
Squall, that bastard, was so evil that he could turn his evil into white. That idiot, Barbie, didn't even give him the evidence before he died. Now that he thinks about it, he shouldn't have believed that stupid woman at that time!
He boarded a pirate ship!
