Chapter 43 Jack's Trouble

"Why did you go to do outsourcing so well? Didn't you say that you will be a bad woman in the future? Or the kind that doesn't work."

On the way home at night, Lin Wen drove with one hand, Mann's car,

Taking David and Gloria home, Lin Wen and his party did not intend to celebrate a night of completing a task and drinking with Roger like Mann and the others did.

But the funny thing is, after Lin Wen and David left, Sasha and Lucy also left soon, and just now Lin Wen received a message from Mann, saying that it was Qi Wei who also went home. Almost half of the people were killed, and the atmosphere of Mann's team suddenly went down.

Falco hadn't decided to join Mann's team yet, and David was officially recruited by Mann now, so it's not too much to say that there are half of them.

"I originally planned to be a bad woman, but if you think about it carefully, you need money to be a bad woman." Gloria said.

"And I'm going to help you. That's all I can offer. Buy and resell to make some money." Gloria stretched her waist and said relaxedly.

She's not boasting, she does have a bit of a talent for it.

Turning her head, she looked at David in the back seat, and said seriously, "Listen, I got a chip and a prosthetic body outside later, bring them back to me, you know?"

"You want to open a store?" David looked at Gloria hesitantly and said, "Won't that break the rules of the road? Can ordinary people open a store?"

"It's enough if someone guarantees it. Mann has already decided to be the guarantor. Tomorrow he will send the finished prosthetic body and weapons to the trading point, and I will clean them up. By the way, are you and David still going to train tomorrow? "Gloria asked Lin Wen again.

Lin Wen replied: "Take him to meet someone, the person you mentioned at the wine table just now."

"Jack Wells?"

"I seem to have heard this name from somewhere." David lowered his head and muttered, and then he raised his head with an "ah", "Heywood's alley, that man named Colin?"

David remembered, the company dog ​​who was obviously sent by the company, and the Valentino gang member who was dumped by the trash can with his hand missing!
Of course he would remember that it was the night when his self-confidence was severely beaten, and it was also the night when his determination was ignited!
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward." Lin Wen snapped his fingers.

"He came back from the Badlands?" David asked excitedly.

He grew up in Night City. David has no idea what the world outside Night City looks like. Although the military news channel and some evening stations sometimes have some things about the outside world, they are all about current affairs. News, plus at a very young age, David was taught by Gloria to know the role of news.

That's just a tool used by big companies to brainwash people!

"If you want to ask anything, then you can ask him yourself tomorrow, but don't ask me."

"Because if there are no accidents, David, he will be your partner in the future, and Jack will be a very good person." Lin Wen said with a smile.

"I see." David nodded vigorously.

The car was driving on the night road, and David was still a little confused about what happened today.

Cooperating with Lucy, I easily earned six or seven thousand euros in one day, and Lucy said it was seven or three points, but in the end it was actually five or five, it shouldn't be six or four, ah, it might be seven or three, but it was him Seven, Lucy Three.

After the operation, looking at David with a pale face, Lucy took David to the prosthetic doctor, and then bought a lot of inhibitors, which were specially bought for him. David thought Lucy was doing it for him. She wanted to repay herself for saving him, but just as she was about to say no, Lucy said it was work-related compensation and forced David to accept it.

Well, in the end David had to accept it.
While drinking in the evening, David and the Legend of Night City also drank a glass of wine.

Does he now officially step into this business?
Lin Wen saw David's expression through the mirror and smiled secretly.

I parked the car in the underground garage and took the elevator upstairs from the basement. This place is indeed better than the place I lived in before. Not to mention the elevator, there is also an underground garage!

Early the next morning, Lin Wen went out to practice with David as usual, and Gloria was not at home when he came back in the afternoon, so he sent a text message to Lin Wen, and Mann came to pick her up on a special trip to see the "commodity" .

After David took a shower, Lin Wen and David walked towards Heywood.

"Lin Wen, should we buy a car?"

Because Mann came to pick up Gloria, he drove his car away, so David, who was about to walk again, couldn't help asking.

"I talked to Gloria last night, and she may come back tonight in a bulletproof car that can drive itself," Lin Wen said.

For Lin Wen, the car doesn't seem to be of much use, but having a car and not having a car are really two different things, although the general car Lin Wen really doesn't like.
Heywood Valley, Wolf's Pub—

Lin Wen and David walked into the bar. Their clothes didn't match the local area, which made all the guys in the store look over.

But the good news is that this is not the stronghold of the Valentino gang. There are some guys dressed up by the Valentino gang, but not many, just two or three here and there, sitting in the corner drinking.

It's not that Lin Wen wants to pay attention to them, but that the guys from Valentino's gang are really conspicuously dressed, and they are too eye-catching at a glance.
Soon, a middle-aged woman looked up at Lin Wen and David, then walked up and said gently, "Where did you come from, Xin Ke?"

"Santo Domingo," David replied.

"Come in, you don't look like the Sixth Street Gang. The drinks are mainly beer, and the price is written on the sign. If you want to drink, you can order yourself. There are not so many rules here." The woman went up and down first. After looking at Lin Wen and David, he said with a smile.

Soothing classical music, not so delicate decoration, but better than the warm lighting, this tavern has the opposite taste from the afterlife.

"I'm Guadalupe Alahandra Wells. You can just call me Mrs. Wells. When you arrive here, it's like arriving at home. Come on, there are exactly two seats over there."

Mrs Wells.
Lin Wen didn't take David over, but asked, "Is Jack there? I have something to do with him."

Mrs. Wells turned around and looked at Lin Wen, "What do you want from him?"

"I've already contacted him, and I need to talk to him face to face." Seeing Mrs. Wells' vigilance, Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Wells, it's just a small matter. A little business."

"You guys came just in time, he just sat there." Mrs. Wells sighed, and turned her mouth to the corner, where a guy with weird hair was punching someone.

The man opposite him was wearing casual clothes and glasses. He was strong and not very tall.

"Fuck, Lao Wei, are you fucking cheating? Why can't I beat you every time I punch you?"

"Jack, punching is a skill."

"Son, someone is looking for you!" Mrs. Wells shouted.

"Who?" The guy with weird hairstyle, wearing a leather jacket and looking like a bear from the back turned his head, with obvious prosthetic body embedding marks on his face, a big chain hanging around his neck, and a fancy sweatshirt inside, He turned his head puzzled.

Looking at Mrs. Wells, he stood up, stepped forward, and looked at Lin Wen and David aggressively.

"Looking for me? You two, do you know each other?" Jack said with a cold face.

"Hey, didn't you just send me an email last night?" Lin Wen said with a smile.

He is not short in stature, and he can be at eye level with Jack, but David is miserable. Jack walked up with his chest up. David was speechless.

This guy is shorter than Mann, but wow, he is much more fierce than Mann.

But when David was thinking this way, the aggressive guy on the opposite side turned to smile, touched his head, and laughed loudly: "Ah, it's you! Look, I said that you really have a job to come to me Lin Wen, right? Come here, come sit here, we have to have a good talk, you know my friend, I happened to be in a little trouble recently, and I just need to pick up some work."

Following Jack to the bar, the man on the side raised his glasses and stretched himself. Seeing that Jack had a guest, he got up consciously when Jack came back, and said with a smile:
"It's going to be night soon, and Misty will be too busy alone, so I have to go back, Jack, let's have a drink together next time."

"Okay, old Wei, go back and say hello to Misty and me, just say me, I miss her very much. I will go to her tomorrow." Jack whispered by Old Wei's ear.

This happened because Mrs. Wells was likely to show her face to him when she heard it.

He doesn't dare to quarrel with his mother, but he loves Misty, so he can only be so sneaky, but why is his mother so stubborn?Misty she is really a good girl!
"Come on man, let's have a good talk."

After sitting down, Jack turned his body sideways to Lin Wen. He rubbed his fingers and said with a smile, "Since you can come to me, you must know my style. Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, I'm a good talker." , My efficiency is also well-known in Heywood, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"That may be because I want to let you down." Ordering a glass of beer with the bartender, Lin Wen looked at Jack, raised the big glass and said, "You're overthinking, Jack, I'm not a middleman, I'm not alive here you are."

David ordered a glass of tequila at the side, not because he wanted to order it, but because a lot of the drinks here are related to tequila, but yes, the taste is really good, it seems to have added some lemon juice and grapefruit juice , sweet and sour, easy to drink, after drinking, David found that the wine here was much better than the wine in the next life.

"Then what did you come to see me for? If you came here to make friends, then you came at the wrong time this time. I would be very willing to make friends at other times." Jack looked at Lin Wen suspiciously.

"I came to you to ask if you are interested in joining the mercenary team?" Lin Wen said.

"Mercenary team? Whose team?" Jack asked with a raised brow.

He doesn't know who will go to any team, and he has worked with a team before, but the other party always drags him back, and he simply acts as a lone wolf in the future.

Lone wolf is also pretty good, although there is no teammate, but the mission gold can be eaten alone!

"Mann, he should be quite famous recently, but you just came back from the bad land, the news may not be very good"

"Mann? Dios (God)! Are you talking about the mercenary squad that sprang up in Night City recently? Hey, you really know them, can you help me connect with them?" Jack's face brightened, He looked at Lin Wen in surprise.

This was beyond Lin Wen's expectation. He looked at Jack and said, "I thought you've been in the Badlands for so long, so you don't know about Mann and his gang."

"Amigo (dude)! What are you kidding? I'm a seasoned mercenary. I just came back last night and just went through the recent events in Night City, okay?" Jack drank the tequila, He said loudly again: "They are famous now, and many bigwigs are paying attention to them. I heard that they went to the afterlife and had a drink with Roger last night? Is this true?"

"You mean you are willing?" Lin Wen smiled.

It's going well. I thought it would take a lot of effort to get Jack into Mann's team.

Jack is not a rookie, on the contrary, he is also a very capable person in the road, since he is one of the few guys who can escape from the gang, it can be seen that he has strength.

However, Jack's luck didn't seem to be very good. After a few years of mixing, he still didn't get any big name.

And looking closely, Lin Wen found that the degree of transformation of Jack's prosthetic body was not high. At least, he didn't transform himself like Mann did, and he still used the guns he bought.

So will it be stronger after the transformation?

But Jack, who had been excited all along, suddenly drooped his face, and said with some frustration:
"Hey, if it was any other time, I think I would have agreed very quickly, because I need money a lot recently, and the business that the Mann team does is all big orders, which are different from the sneaky things I did before. .But, I've gotten into trouble with a few guys in the Badlands lately, and they're calling me out for trouble."

Jack touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "There are a few middlemen who want to mess with me, so are you sure the Mann team will still want me?"

"Middleman? What happened?"

"A little thing, the guy who gave me the task and his deadly enemy"

Jack was about to speak, but Lin Wen interrupted suddenly.

The middleman, tell Rogge, Rogge has spoken, so you have to give her face in that way, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Wen waved his hand and interrupted Jack: "Forget it, don't say it."

"What do you mean?" Jack was taken aback.

"The kid next to me is a member of Mann's team. I already talked 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 chat?"

"Are you sure? The trouble I got into is not small. Those middlemen are well-known in Watson and Santo Domingo. Do you know Dexter? He is awesome. One of the guys I messed with was with Dexter." Kester is on good terms."

"Dexter, is he awesome?" Lin Wen frowned, and he only knew Rogge's name as a middleman.
"The most awesome kind!" Jack was a little frustrated. "Otherwise, why am I sitting here now? I didn't make a deal, and now my pockets are empty. I'm not a person who sits and eats at home. But now there is no People dare to give me goods, and those middlemen who are not afraid of them, I can't get in touch, and those big guys don't even look at me."

"How awesome? How about Rugby?" Lin Wen asked suddenly.

"What?"

"I said, who is better, the Dexter or Rugby you mentioned?"

Jack stared at Lin Wen with wide eyes, and looked at the expression of a fool: "This and that are comparable. If he wants to compare with Rugby, he will be a piece of shit!"

"You just said that he is the best." David interjected beside him.

Jack poked his head out, looked at David, and said displeasedly: "But compared to Rogby, he can only be a piece of shit, that's Rogge!"

"Then it's no problem, you join Mann's team and do three single missions for free, and then I help you settle this matter, how about it?" Lin Wen looked at Jack and said.

If you think about it, Rogge is worried about not being able to get in touch with Lin Wen right now.

Let Jack tell Roger about this matter, and she will be happy to help settle it. She needs Lin Wen to owe her a favor, although it is only a very small favor.

However, Lin Wen is also willing to deal with Rogge. After all, we are all people of the same era, so it is inevitable that there is some sympathy for each other?

Another one, Lin Wen needs Rogge's help to take care of David and Mann.

"If it's possible, then damn it would be great!"

"Three orders? I will do all ten orders for free!" Jack said excitedly, rubbing his hands.

He told Heywood's intermediary about this, including the incident and the secrets, but the priest told him that he had indeed broken the rules of the road, even if there were secrets, but Jack had no proof, the other guy They are all dead, so it stands to reason that Jack should be slaughtered now as a negative teaching material, but the priest came forward to speak out, coupled with Jack's previous gang status, and Mrs. Wells' prestige in Haywood, so Jack is not dead On the way back to Night City.

He was really scared on the way back to Night City, but now... Jack suddenly relaxed.

If it can be settled, then it would be damn good!

But at this moment, there was the sound of car horns outside the Wild Wolf Bar, not just one car, but many cars.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people walked into the Wild Wolf Bar.

When Mrs. Wells saw the person coming, her eyes turned cold, and she looked at a double-barreled Xia shotgun.

"Where's Jack Wells? Come out!"

A sullen man in a cowboy hat and biting a cigar said loudly.

Behind him, there are a dozen young men in full armor.

"Fuck you!" Jack stood up with a "swoosh".

"Squall, let us settle the matter between us. This is Heywood, and this is the Wolf Bar. What the hell are you trying to do by bringing someone in? Are you fighting with me?"

The man named Squall, wearing a cowboy hat and wearing a short gun, grinned, bit his cigar and looked at Jack and cursed: "How dare you! No wonder the priest wants to cover you, but I tell you, Wells, this piece Things are not as easy as fuck, you broke the rules, someone is covering you, I can't kill you, but you want to turn this matter over?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Taking out the short gun, Squall looked at Jack ferociously, puffed out the cigar, and said angrily:

"You dare to double-faced me? You took my job, and you still want to punish me? That Barbie guy has been killed by me. Dexter personally sent a message. You can either give me 50 today, or give it to me. I have two hands, or work for me for a year, no, I dare not accept a bastard like you."

"You fart! Didn't you fucking try to kill me first?"

"It's useless to talk, idlers, please go out now!" Squall looked around, saw the three guys with golden arms looking over coldly, and his tone became lighter, "Dexter's meaning."

"."

Soon, the bar was emptied.

Mrs. Wells and the bartender looked at Squall indifferently.

Jack also blushed angrily.

A fucking middleman, a fucking broker, a fucking Night City!

Squall is a bastard, he can tell what is black is white, and Barbie, that idiot, failed to send the evidence to himself before he died. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have believed that stupid woman at that time!

He, boarded a thief ship!
