"I don't remember when we met, I said you needed to bring so many people."

The meeting with Wilton Holt was achieved not long after Kenichi Kazuya arranged and contacted him. In a private room of Heywood Restaurant at night, the fat Wilton Holt used his eyes with glasses. After examining Karl and others who came in, they spoke with slightly dissatisfied words.

‘Then you didn’t say, I can’t bring so many people, Mr. Deputy Mayor.”

He specially emphasized the word deputy mayor. Karl naturally pulled out a chair opposite Wilton Holt's dining table and sat down. At the same time, V followed behind him and they also found a seat on the dining table. After taking their seats, the four mercenaries immediately surrounded the lonely Wilton Holt.

Fortunately, the space in this suite was large enough, otherwise it would have been a bit crowded with just five men sitting there. But even though the space in this suite was large enough, when Karl and the others sat down, Wilton Holt felt the surrounding people The air seemed to solidify all of a sudden, and breathing seemed to become a little difficult.

His heart skipped a beat, and Wildenholt himself couldn't explain why his breathing suddenly became heavier, but his body's instinct was telling him that his current situation was very dangerous.

This is the kind of suffocation that ordinary people can feel when they are next to a beast without any isolation.

Even though Wilton Holt knew that Karl and the others would not do anything to him, and the two parties were technically partners, his body still began to beat faster uncontrollably.

But after all, Wilton Holt was an old politician for many years. He had never seen what kind of person he was, so after taking a breath, he forcibly suppressed his body's discomfort reaction and concentrated on what was going to happen next. Talking about things.

What he was going to talk to this group of mercenaries next was so important that if even a few words were exposed, it would be a major leak that would cause an uproar among the citizens of Night City, so he had to be careful.

Wilton Holt looked at Karl, who was sitting there, seemingly not nervous at all, and his mood became much more stable.

No matter what, at least the people who came to help this time are the best mercenary team in the city. If there is any team that can do things well in the mercenary circle of Night City, then they are the only ones. .

Thinking about the information he had obtained about the 100% completion rate of the KK team, Wilton Holt carefully considered his words and said, "I have always been arranging Lucius's schedule, and recently, he will be there because of Taiping Prefecture. This matter went to the city council for the signing of documents,

If you want to do it yourself, I can provide you with the vehicle's itinerary. "

"Do you want to do it on the way?"

Listening to Karl, he felt that this assassination method sounded so familiar. It seemed that a certain American president and a certain Austro-Hungarian crown prince died in this way. However, the familiar assassination method does not mean that it is not easy to use. Its success is enough to show that it is used in As for the practicality of assassination, people tend to be more relaxed when moving on the road, which has a higher success rate than waiting for an assassination at a fixed point.

However, this common assassination method was rejected after Karl thought about it for a while.

"no."

The reason is very simple, just like the reason why Carl's team rejected this assassination method when they wanted to attack the former NCPD director. This kind of assassination gunman is not easy to escape, and Wilton Holt may not be implicated when chasing him, but It would be too easy to find their KK team.

Karl looked at Wilton Holt:

"None of us are fools, Mr. Deputy Mayor. Please remember that we are not entrusted by you. We only have the obligation to assist you. It does not mean that we are your subordinates and need to obey your orders unconditionally. This It’s better not to talk about treating us as victims, otherwise I don’t mind letting you, the deputy mayor, as the mayor’s good partner, accompany you when the mayor dies.”

Without any worries, Carl spoke with a simple threat to his life. The job he received from Kenichi Shiro was to assist the deputy mayor in finding a way to get rid of the mayor. The entire task only required the death of the mayor, but did not say anything about it. To ensure the safety of the deputy mayor, tie a bomb to the deputy mayor, and let him and the mayor die together, that is to help the deputy mayor kill the mayor. Karl doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

After Karl told him about his possible death in a calm tone, Wilton Holt felt cold all over his body.

Although Karl's words were plain, his tone was very serious and there was no trace of falsehood. As long as you listened, you could feel the sincerity of his words.

If he continues to say that he intends to use the KK team as a victim, K will really let himself and the mayor die together. This guy has no worries at all.

Wilton Holt cursed secretly in his heart.

Among the information collected by his subordinates about KK, there is a text that describes it like this.

KK is an unexpected person who is actually very easy to talk to. In order to complete the task, he will take appropriate risks. When communicating, you can try to ask whether he can perform radical tasks.

There seems to be no problem with the data. The only thing missing is that the collected data does not say whether the communicating party will get a warning from KK if the communicating party says some offensive words when trying to communicate.

But I didn't really want KK and the others to take the blame. Wilton Holt's approach was actually just a negotiation technique.

At the beginning, put forward a request that the other party is unlikely to accept. When the other party refuses, gradually lower the conditions and finally achieve your real goal.

This method is easier for the other party to accept than directly putting forward the real intention at the beginning. Wilton Holt often uses this negotiation technique and often achieves good results, but it turned a little wrong today.

Fortunately, Carl did not turn his face directly, but just threatened verbally, so there is still room for negotiation.

Wilton Holt changed his expression instantly and smiled: "It's just a little joke, KK, I have someone who is really suitable for the task, but I need your help."

Is there another candidate to take the blame?

Carl watched Wilton Holt calmly without saying much. He just tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a sound and then said, "Speak human language."

"Lucius often goes to some private places...some accidents happen there. For the sake of Lucius's reputation, some things are not easy to make public, so no one will investigate them in detail."

Wildon Holt said his real purpose.
