The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 224

Valeric, V’s real name, but almost no one calls her that.

And her last name is even more interesting:
winters.

The same surname as the Ethan family in "Resident Evil 8".

The protagonists of the two worlds have a subtle connection at a very strange point.

"What are you laughing at? Is my name funny?"

V twisted the ear of the man in his arms and asked angrily.

Li Ang explained: "No, I just remembered something interesting."

"I guess you don't dare either." V let go of his ears and pinched his face again and again, feeling like he couldn't put it down.

"Why are you so good-looking? If it weren't for this face, I wouldn't have been fooled by you."

Li Ang said proudly: "Surface women just say that they are attracted by sex, so they don't have to give themselves so many reasons."

V said plausibly: "I can't help it, how noble can I be as a mercenary who came from a wanderer? Besides, it's hard not to like a handsome and rich man."

Li Ang smiled and asked, "Does that person like me?"

"I like your face and your money, but as for you as a person" V lifted his chin with his finger: "I have to think about it again."

While the two were exchanging glances, a ghost dog was stopped outside the box by Li De.

"What's the matter?" V asked on behalf of the man in his arms.

Who knew that the ghost dog was coming to find her.

"Ms. V, there is a man named Hanz among the guests who wants to meet you."

Mr. Hands, the middleman in Taiping Prefecture, has always been mysterious and secretive. He usually only communicates with the client through phone calls. Not many people have seen him in person.

It was also through this party that V saw his true face for the first time.

"I guess he saw me here just now. Want to come to me to plead for mercy? Do you want to meet?" She asked Li Ang for his opinion.

"You can just decide on such a small matter." Li Ang replied.

Considering that he still had some friendship with Hanz, V decided to meet him.

"Come with me for a walk?"

"Okay." Li Ang got up from her lap.

The two immediately left the Sapphire Blue Club and came to the previous reception room.

A few minutes later, the most mysterious middleman in Night City, Mr. Hands, was brought in.

This man looked about 50 to [-] years old. He was wearing a red suit, his black and white hair was meticulously combed, and even his beard was neatly trimmed.

"Hi V, my favorite mercenary!"

"Why don't you tell me when you come to Dog Town? Let me entertain you well."

Hanz's state was calm and unhurried, without any consciousness of being a prisoner. Instead, he gave people a sense of deja vu that he was the master of this place.

V also responded very enthusiastically: "You're so polite, Mr. Hands. I didn't even thank you for the voodoo gang thing last time."

The last time she came to Taiping Prefecture, she asked Hanzi for information about the Voodoo Gang.

"Let's sit down and chat first. Do you want something to drink?"

Hanz followed his kindness and sat across from V: "There's no need to thank me. You think highly of me when you ask me for help."

"By the way, who is this...?"

V glanced at Li Ang beside him: "My boss."

Hanz saw that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue to ask, but through these words, he understood who was the one who made the decision.

"Hello, sir, nice to meet you!"

The middleman stood up and wanted to shake hands with Li Ang very politely.

Leon smiled and responded: "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Wade Bleecker."

Hanz was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, but he immediately returned to normal.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you two."

V looked confused, what the hell, what are you talking about?
Her reaction made Hanz pay more attention to Li Ang and explained: "This is my real name, V."

"I used to be a member of Petra Petrochemical, and I worked hard to climb to a high position. As a result, I became a victim of the company's reorganization. Although I escaped pursuit, the large bounty on my head forced me to change my appearance and become what I am now. Mr. Hands."

Hanz told his past very frankly, because he knew that since his past identity had been found out, it would not do him any good to hide it any longer.

V suddenly realized: "It's really surprising."

She knows that Pezo Petrochemical is a global super company. Although it cannot compare with Arasaka, Military Technology, and Kangtao in terms of market value, it is still one of the most influential companies in the world.

This company has a very exaggerated advertising slogan:
[Our planet continues to progress because of Pezo Petrochemicals]
Through cooperation with another company, 'Biotechnology', on bioengineering projects, Pezo Chemical was able to convert genetically modified wheat planted on hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land around the world into biofuel CHOOH2 (alcohol two).

As the global standard fuel after the oil crisis, the importance of CHOOH2 goes without saying.

By controlling the production rights of Pezo Chemical, it is equivalent to seizing the energy lifeline of the cyber world. In other words, if you want to live in this world, you will inevitably be affected by Pezo Chemical.

Being able to reach the position of a senior executive in such an influential company also proves that Hanz's strength cannot be underestimated.

Anyway, V has become a little more wary of this seemingly kind old man.

She knew that she was not good at playing with her brains and could easily say the wrong thing, so she simply left the matter to Li Ang to handle.

Li Ang did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Mr. Hands, tell me the purpose of your visit."

"Sir, please speak quickly!" Hanz said with a smile: "I just want to ask, what do you two and Han Sen want? I don't know the reason, I really don't know."

Li Ang also smiled and said: "I thought you wanted V to let you go."

Hanz said: "I don't dare to make such excessive demands. It's good to stay here. With Colonel Hansen at the front, I don't have to worry about anything else. But if I were let out, I would easily lose my life inexplicably."

"Since the colonel didn't kill us directly, it proves that there is a need for us, and I can try my best to cooperate."

As a pure businessman, Hanz only really cares about one thing, and that's money.

He wants to make enough money so that one day he can leave Night City, this hopelessly rotten ghost place, so he knows when to bow his head. After all, if his life is gone, then there is nothing.

As for retaliation for offending the company, that is something Han Sen should consider.

Who makes him the king of Dog Town?

Li Ang was not surprised that the middleman chose to cooperate. These guys are the most slippery people in Night City.

"To be honest, I really need Mr. Hands. How much do you know about CHOOH2 technology?"

Hanz hesitated for a moment and said: "CHOOH2 is essentially a biotechnology technology. It just licensed this technology to Pezo Chemical. Although I was a management before, I didn't have much contact with the technical department, so..."

Li Ang raised his hand to interrupt: "I don't want to hear this, I just want CHOOH2. Only if you hand over the technology to me will we have a basis for cooperation, do you understand?"

Hanz was silent for a while and said, "Don't you need to tell Colonel Hansen?"

The implication is, who is the boss, you or Han Sen? I will listen to whoever makes the decision.

"No need." Li Ang replied firmly.

Hands understood what he meant and said, "I'll figure it out."

Li Ang waved his hand: "Go down."

Hanz stood up: "Sir, Ms. V, I'll take my leave now."

Then, the ghost dog took him away.

When there were only two people left in the reception room, V asked curiously: "I don't think he will hand over his technology obediently."

Li Ang leaned against the back of the sofa and said in a casual tone: "Of course, he doesn't really want to join us, he is just hedging his bets."

"He will help whoever wins."

V was not as relaxed as he was, and said guiltily: "I seem to have caused trouble to you, if he hadn't known me."

Li Ang ruffled the girl's hair: "This is not like the V I know. Besides, it was me who made you the opposite of everyone. I am the one who should be sorry."

V pretended to sigh: "I can't help it, who made me like your money?"

The two were talking when there was a knock on the door.

Li Ang looked at the door: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Sen walked in with a man and a woman.

"Sir, these are the Cassel brothers and sisters, cyber hackers. They used to work in military technology. They are members of the Little Beidou Project. They hold the secret key to the neural matrix."

Li Ang raised his eyes and glanced at the red-haired twins.

My younger sister, Aurore Cassel, is good-looking and full of bad-girl looks, but like V, she has no breasts and is extremely vicious.

The older brother, Eymeric Cassel, is a man and has nothing to say.

The brother and sister look young, but in fact they have rich resumes. In addition to being employed in military technology, the elder brother also worked at Petra Petrochemical for several years, while the younger sister served five years in prison and secretly has some dealings with the French mafia.

Coupled with their status as network engineers, they can be regarded as junior ruthless people in Tongliao Universe.

Because he knew how to use the neural matrix, Han Sen paid to find the two of them. They were two guests at the party. They had been frightened just now, and now they could clearly see that they were a little uneasy.

Li Ang is quite interested in the brothers and sisters, but not now.

"Tell them to see Somi, she knows what to do."

"Yes." Han Sen replied respectfully.This scene made the eyes of the brother and sister look strange, especially the younger sister Aurore, who kept staring at Li Ang, but did not say anything and allowed Han Sen to take them away.

The reception room fell silent again.

V twirled the wine glass and said meaningfully: "She seems to be very interested in you."

"It's perfectly normal." Li Ang stretched and said, "A man as charming as me always attracts all kinds of women."

"Oh, really?" V put down the wine glass, straddled him directly, and looked condescendingly into his eyes: "I would like to see your charm."

Li Ang held the girl's waist with both hands and said, "I wish for you."

The charming atmosphere began to permeate the reception room, and V slowly lowered his head.

But just when the two were about to have close contact, she stretched out her index finger and pressed it on the man's lips, and said with a narrow smile: "What a beautiful thought. Office romance is not allowed here, boss."

Li Ang put his hands behind his head and asked with a smile: "Shouldn't I have the final say on this kind of thing?"

"No, no, no." V put his finger on his chest, and then slid downwards little by little: "The initiative is now in my hands."

Li Ang was caught and unable to resist.

"Okay, you have the final say today."

V smirked and picked up the cup on the coffee table with his free hand.

He held the amber wine in his mouth and kissed Li Ang's lips.

A few minutes later, the slightly breathless girl asked coquettishly: "How is it? Does it taste good? Do you want another drink?"

Li Ang told the truth: "It's a little slippery, a little soft, but overall it's not bad."

V smiled even happier, and then jumped off him happily: "Then you drink slowly, and I'll go lie down in the bathroom."

After she left, Li Ang shook his head helplessly.

Is this some kind of jealousy?

Having a premonition that V would not come back, Li Ang simply called Han Sen again, and the two talked about business.

Dog Town was suddenly put into complete lockdown, and something strange might have been noticed outside.It won't be long before someone comes to check on things, both physically and online.

The spies who were originally hiding in the dark will also become active.

Li Ang asked Han Sen to take this opportunity to thoroughly clean the dog town inside and out.

In addition, a presidential auction is held every two hours. Of course, there is no real intention to sell Miles, but it is just to toss the big shots and keep them busy and stop thinking all the time.

Just like an eagle, wait until they are tired and succumb before letting them contact the outside world.

At the same time, a press conference was held to let people in Night City and even the world know about this matter. The bigger the news, the better.

The last thing is to wait patiently and implement the next plan according to the reaction of all parties.

After talking about this, Han Sen went to prepare for the next thing, while Li Ang went to the suite next to the reception room to rest.

It was foreseeable that Dog Town was about to face a big war, and he had to recharge his batteries.

As soon as he entered the suite, Li Ang heard the sound of gurgling water in the bathroom and a beautiful tune. It was V singing while taking a shower. The song he sang was the same song that Lizzy Weisz performed tonight.

"Do you need to find Miss Liqi to sing another song for you?" he joked.

"No need!"

"Then can I go in?"

"roll!"

"okay."

Li Ang shrugged and entered the suite bedroom.

Not long after he lay down, V appeared outside the door covered in moisture.

She leaned against the door frame, and the bright moonlight outside the window spread all over her body, and through the thin bath towel, she outlined beautiful lines.

"I'm going to find Zhao Mei. Do you have anything to explain?"

"No." Li Ang turned over and faced him: "If young people don't stay up late, they will get wrinkles."

"Hey, it's boring." V turned and left.

Li Ang didn't take it seriously, the method was too immature, and he didn't even bother to mess with her.

There was nothing to say all night, and the time soon came to the next morning.

Unsurprisingly, there was a bedmate next to Li Ang. He smelled of alcohol and was fast asleep. He didn't know how late he and Song Zhaomei had been drinking last night.

He felt that it was necessary for V to change some bad habits.

Especially alcoholism.

Patting her round and plump buttocks: "I'm out."

V hummed vaguely to show that he understood.

Li Ang moved his legs away from his body, got out of bed, washed and got dressed.

Walked out of the suite 10 minutes later.

Agent Li De stood outside the door with a tired look on his face.

"Did you stay awake all night last night?" Li Ang asked.

The agent nods.

Li Ang patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li De immediately said: "It's not hard, sir."

Afterwards, the two walked towards the club while chatting, and he was always half a step behind Li Ang.

"How is Miles doing now?"

"It's not cooperation. I tried to go on a hunger strike, but I gave him a dose of nutrient solution."

"Good job."

"You reward me, I should do it."

As soon as the agent finished speaking, Li Ang stopped and said, "Go find Alex. If you can convince her, I can spare her life."

Li De bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity."

"Go, go," Li Ang urged.

Li De was a little moved: "What about your side?"

Li Ang said arrogantly: "Nothing in this world that can kill me has been invented yet."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving the agent stunned in place for a long time.

On the stage of the Sapphire Blue Club, a simple conference venue took shape.

Arif Iqbal and Gillian Jordan, the hosts of WNS News and N54 News, two well-known media companies, sat behind the studio with low eyebrows, with the word "uneasy" written on their faces.

Unfortunately, as two of the biggest celebrities in Night City, they were also on the invitation list for last night's party.

Although WNS News and N54 News are competitors, the two anchors have a pretty good personal relationship, but this is the first time they sit together to broadcast news, let alone that they are also parties to the news.

From time to time they looked at each other, and the bitterness in their hearts almost overflowed from their eyes with their eyes.

Not long ago, they were allowed to have contact with their families and companies.

The person in charge of the company did not say whether they could be rescued, but they had to catch this extremely explosive news, so the two of them turned into special reporters and had to follow up the entire Dog Town hostage-taking incident that was about to shock the world.

"Don't look so sad. This is not the expression you usually wear when broadcasting news!"

Han Sen, who was supervising the work at the scene, yelled loudly, making the two hosts tremble in fright. They couldn't help but glance at the corpse in the corner.

When the corpse was alive, his name was Josie Kavorkin, the host of the famous financial program "I Care About Your Business". He was shot to death not long ago because he annoyed Han Sen.

The blood is probably still warm now.

Thinking of this, the two hosts tried to force out an extremely forced smile.

Han Sen nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"And you guys, be smart with your hands and feet. If you waste any time, you'll have to chop them all into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

When the King of Dog Town was showing his lustful power, Li Ang appeared.

His spine softened instantly, and he stepped forward to greet him diligently: "Sir, you are here."

Li Ang looked at the venue not far away: "Well, how is the current situation?"

Han Sen said: "It's pretty much what we expected. Several smaller companies and most of the gangs said they could negotiate. As for the rest, they told me to wash my neck and wait for death."

Li Ang said: "Have you written down all the companies that made you wait for death?"

"Of course, I remember it clearly!" Han Sen replied with a sinister smile.

Then, he looked at the time: "Also, the NCPD and the Night City government issued a joint statement half an hour ago, saying that Dog Town will be destroyed before [-] noon today."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "Interesting, what does military technology say?"

Han Sen replied: "Still waiting, probably waiting for the results from the NCPD."

　I couldn't help but be too lazy yesterday, so today I present a 5000-word chapter.

　　In addition, we will start adding more updates tomorrow~
