Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 486 99. Whirlpool Gang Mission

After Mann had the foresight to temporarily leave this place, Carl took the data chip handed over by Rogge. According to Rogge, all the requirements and information were in it.

Carl inserted the chip into his modified mobile phone and read the content. Rogge did not let him go into the box to discuss things during the communication, but gave the information openly in front of others next to the bar, which was actually quite beyond Carl's expectations.

Few people in the city don't know Rogge and Carl's current appearance, especially in Laisheng, a mercenary holy land, it is impossible for someone not to know them. In this case, Rogge directly gave the chip, which made others know that Rogge had business to entrust KK.

Although it is not a big deal for a middleman to entrust a mercenary, it is not a simple matter for the city's top middleman to entrust the top mercenary. It can be expected that many forces will secretly guard against this information in the future, fearing that the person who will be found by KK entrusted by Rogge in the future is him.

After Carl inserted the chip and took a quick look at the task, he understood why Rogge would commission it so openly.

Because this job must be done openly, or let everyone know that it was Rogge who hired KK to do it, which was Rogge's purpose.

The matter is not complicated, and it is even too simple.

In short, Brick, the boss of the Whirlpool Gang, has done some wrong things recently. They actually robbed Rogge's goods, so Rogge plans to let KK teach him a lesson.

It is obviously not a particularly strange thing for the Whirlpool Gang to rob goods, or if the gang announced one day that they were not interested in the company's transportation and had never touched the company's transportation goods, it would make people wonder if they were preparing to make a big move. It's just that they shouldn't touch Rogge's goods, or they shouldn't touch the goods that the transporter said were Rogge's things and then robbed them.

If they just robbed Rogge's goods, Rogge could not care less about it because they were all a bunch of idiots. But after reporting her name, they also robbed the goods and killed the transport personnel, and even did not delete the dashcam. This naked provocation was not something Rogge could tolerate.

Rogge could turn a blind eye to the previous things. After all, it might not be worthwhile to clash with the Whirlpool Gang for a trip of goods. This kind of small loss was taken, and more mercenaries could be assigned to target this group of idiots. But the following things involved Rogge's reputation and middleman status.

Rogge was able to become the top middleman in the city, but she never relied on a good temper. If she could tolerate such things, she might as well retire early. Anyway, there would be new people to replace her soon. A middleman who was useless after reporting her name, wouldn't she be dead on the street?

If you do something wrong, you must learn a lesson, and it must be fair and aboveboard. Everyone must know that it was Roger who taught the lesson. There are obviously many candidates who can teach the Whirlpool Gang a lesson, but you must choose someone who can satisfy Roger, do good things, and cover the bottom line even if there is an accident. There are only a few people.

Roger originally thought that if KK's rest was not over, she could entrust V and others, but since she met KK, the sucker who planned to order fried chicken nuggets in the next life, it would be unreasonable not to give him a job.

"This job is not easy to do."

After looking at the task, Carl chose to lie with his eyes open: "You have to go in alone, not kill Brick, but just teach him a lesson. This job is too difficult."

Half of what Carl said was true. It was a troublesome thing for one person to go into the Whirlpool Gang's lair. He couldn't kill Brick, but just gave him a shameful lesson. This job was indeed quite troublesome.

"Can't we just kill him? That would be easier."

"If we kill Brick, the Whirlpool Gang will have another idiot. Brick is already one of the few guys with some brains in the gang. I don't want another guy without brain tissue to come to me in the name of revenge for the former boss."

Rogge's words were very clear. She just wanted to teach the Whirlpool Gang boss a lesson for the sake of face, so that he would understand some things and know where to touch and where not to touch. She didn't want him to die and replace him with someone stupid to continue to oppose her. She wanted to do business and didn't have the time to waste more things and mess with a crazy gang.

"I thought you would care about the dead transporter, Rogge."

"I have already paid compensation to his family. I think this is enough in Night City."

Looking at Rogge's obvious interest-oriented appearance, Carl was not too surprised.

Rogge might have some friendship with people, but it was unlikely that Rogge had some friendship with people.

A middleman like her has seen all kinds of things. It is unlikely that she would get angry and start a war with a gang just because one of her subordinates died. That is obviously unrealistic. She might send KK to teach Brick, the boss of the Whirlpool Gang, a lesson, and then she would talk business with Brick. The reason why she asked KK to work was just to maintain her reputation as a middleman and her street status.

‘Rogge, that stinky old woman.’

I suddenly thought of Panam's words. In Carl's impression, Panam seemed to have cursed Rogue with even dirtier words. Maybe for Panam, a pure Bad Land wanderer, people like Rogue are very annoying to her, but for Carl.

Blinking, Carl said: "Let's talk about the reward."

For Carl, there is nothing wrong with Rogue's work. Rogue is better than Faraday and Cormac. At least she will give some compensation for her work, which is better than 99% of street middlemen.

If you really expect a mercenary to have a friendship with the middleman, it depends on the specific relationship. For example, Rebecca and Pira's father 'Sunrise' often worked for Wakako in the past, so after their father Sunrise mysteriously disappeared, Wakako took care of Rebecca and Pira a little. Without that relationship, Rogue's work is something that most mercenaries can't hope for in their lifetime.

In response to Carl's suggestion to talk about compensation, Roger still asked: "Do I need a life insurance policy for you? You pay me, and if something unexpected happens, I will give your friend compensation."

"Don't do business so hard, Roger. Are you short of money recently? You're introducing a new menu and doing insurance business again."

Carl was a little speechless, but still asked.

"How much is the insurance?"

"If you're talking about it, 10,000. If something unexpected happens, I'll pay 100,000."

"I'm not an idiot."

One to ten, only idiots will insure.
