Chapter 198 Great Empire Mall
Chapter 198 Great Empire Mall
"Oh my, it seems you have been tricked by the old fox."
Ling Luxian heard Johnny Silverhand's annoying voice in his ears.
"What do you think of this person?" Ling Luxian asked.
"Old fox, huh~ You never tell the truth." Johnny Silverhand said with some disdain.
"Oh?" Ling Luxian asked curiously, "In your eyes, does he have no merits at all?"
"That's not the case." Johnny Silverhand paused and said, "He is careful enough in what he does and never leaks anything when he speaks. What's more, he is good enough to his family."
"Ha!" Johnny Silverhand said mockingly, "Since when has being good to your family become a virtue? In this fucking city."
Yes, family affection in Night City is really abstract. A father can sell his son for a little money. A son can kneel down and beg for mercy to the enemy who killed his father in order to survive.
While Ling Luxian was thinking about this ridiculous scene, Johnny Silvershou changed his expression.
But Johnny Silverhand said seriously: "Iron Pilot, this old guy is a cunning opponent. You must be vigilant when dealing with him."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Ling Luxian knew very well that Mr. Hands was a cunning old fox.
Compared to a middleman, Mr. Hands is more like a leader of power, so he can sell mercenaries without hesitation. Looking at the crappy commissions he sent, you can tell that most of them are used to build connections for himself.
This old fox is very slippery, and Ling Luxian has no intention of cooperating with him in depth.
"That's it?" Rebecca looked up at Ling Luxian.
Rebecca didn't understand. Was it just such a trivial matter, was it worth Ling Luxian making a long trip?
It doesn't matter if you don't have a broken ID card. You can still go the smuggling route.
The news about those company agents was not worth a hair in her eyes. According to her philosophy, she didn't care whether they belonged to a company or not, she would shoot them to death.
Ling Luxian touched Rebecca's head and said, "You can't do this anymore. You need to use your brain before doing anything. Don't just think about fighting and killing."
"Don't always treat me like a child." Rebecca turned her head and broke free from Ling Luxian's hand.
Ling Luxian smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows.
'You are not a child in age, but you still think like a child.'
Ling Luxian knew. This was because Pyrrha and Mann had protected Rebecca too well, so her mental age had not grown at all.
Maybe she has mature ideas, but her childish temperament ruins it.
As a mercenary, it is not enough to just fight and kill, sooner or later you will fall flat on your face. Is it really necessary to sacrifice a relative in order for Rebecca to mature?
That’s all.
Ling Luxian put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. If Rebecca changed her personality, would she still be herself? Anyway, as long as Ling Luxian was around, Rebecca would be fine, so let her be.
"Of course not only that. I came to Taiping Island to settle a grudge."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Ling Luxian's eyes.
After getting in the car, he took Rebecca to the entrance of Dog Town again.
The big man with the Nether Dog saw from a distance that it was Ling Lu's car, and wanted to come up and take advantage of it, so he walked over happily.
But this time, Ling Luxian didn't give him another chance. He rolled down the car window, held the Dog Town ID card between his fingers, and shook it in front of the big man.
The big man saw Ling Luxian had an ID card and his eyes were full of disappointment.
"Let go."
The checkpoint inside Dog Town was opened to let Ling Luxian pass.
The big man never thought that Ling Luxian would be able to get the ID card so quickly, and he missed an opportunity to take advantage of him.
He muttered, "If I had known earlier, I would have ordered more. It's not a loss at 100,000 Euros."
Although he said this, who knows what's really going on inside.
When Ling Luxian was driving past Jingxin Bible Church and saw a ritual being performed inside, he knew that the traitor of the Voodoo Gang was dead.
"Heh~ blind man, your eyes are not blind but your heart is blind."
The code name of the high-ranking traitor in the Voodoo Gang is Blind Man, but Ling Luxian doesn't think it is Slider.
Although Slide is a real blind man, don't forget that Slide is a rebel against the Voodoo Gang and has formed his own faction. He moved to Dog Town a long time ago and cooperated with the Hellhound.
How stupid would you be to use your own physical features as a nickname? Are you afraid that the Voodoo Gang won't be able to find out?
Moreover, he is a high-ranking member of the Voodoo Gang and can obtain important intelligence, so he must live near the Subnet Sea God. It is even more impossible for Slide to be far away in Dog Town.
As for why this blind man betrayed, it probably depends on Bridget's thoughts. Isn't that too extreme?
What a terrifying thought it is to dedicate the souls of all Haitians to the existence outside the black wall.
Even Prachide, Bridget's loyal supporter, had some doubts about his decision, let alone this rebel.
Perhaps in the eyes of this "blind man", Bridget was a traitor who betrayed the Haitians, and betraying her was a matter of course.
It’s just that this blind man is not blind in his eyes, but in his heart. He was stabbed in the back by his most trusted subordinate. It’s such a pity.
"What are you looking at? Are you a believer in religion too?"
Rebecca saw Ling Luxian driving a car and suddenly stopped. He looked at a Bible church with a complicated expression and asked with some confusion.
Don't be ridiculous. Religion will only make people stupid. The meaning of the scriptures is good, you can read it. But you must not believe in religion. God knows if those bishops who interpret the meaning of the scriptures have evil intentions in their hearts.
"I'm not a religious person, but I feel a little sad. A man who works for the welfare of his people is actually stabbed in the back by his own people. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Ling Luxian said half-jokingly, "Will you stab me in the back in the future?"
"Bah! What are you talking about? I won't backstab you!" Rebecca scolded, "But that guy is really unlucky to have encountered such a thing."
Ling Luxian smiled, started the car and drove towards the destination.
Soon after, the car stopped in front of an abandoned shopping mall. Ling Luxian got out of the car and stared at the mall with a cold gaze.
"Is this the place where you want to settle your grudge?" Rebecca followed and asked curiously.
Ling Luxian nodded, then shook his head, "It doesn't really count, this is just a place you have to pass through. How about it? Do you want to go and take a look together?"
Looking at the completely abandoned Grand Empire Shopping Mall, Ling Luxian felt very sorry. He could see that the design of this place was absolutely thoughtful.
The area is very large, and it must have cost a lot of money and effort to build it like this. Unfortunately, when the war broke out, all of it was in vain.
Just last week, the construction of this building was announced to be completely stopped. Ling Luxian had never thought that the builders of this shopping mall would not stop construction until now since the beginning of the war. It must have been a lot of hard work.
You have to know that the unification war started in 2069, and it has been eight years since the construction was stopped in 2077. There is a bit of obsession. I don't know who will benefit in the end.
Ling Luxian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Animal Gang members stationed here. Anyway, these big-breasted and brainless guys would not get away with it.
