Chapter 138: Looking for trouble
In the end, Ke Ling still couldn't refuse the old captain's help. The old brother was too enthusiastic and couldn't shirk it.

However, Ke Ling also understood that it was not easy for the old captain to maintain his enthusiasm, and favors should not be wasted on such things.

How much help can the old captain and his people provide in the battle?

To be honest, Ke Ling is not optimistic. He does not need too many people to intervene in the battle.

If too many Saint-Domingue people died in a battle, the loss of favor would undoubtedly be huge.

Ke Ling did not doubt the loyalty of the old captain and his brother workers in Santo Domingo. They were willing to fight and even sacrifice their lives to return his favor.

But Ke Ling hopes that this sense of loyalty will always exist and that these favors can be repaid in a safer way.

The old captain is a man of great personal charm and charisma, and his brothers all recognize his ideas, which is very rare.

At least in Ke Ling's view, it is much more useful to let these veterans of Saint-Domingue continue to live and continue to work hard to save Saint-Domingue than to let them die in a fight with gangs and butchers.

Therefore, Ke Ling hoped that they would be on standby first. If the situation went wrong, he would call for support. He told the old captain that he did not want to make things too tense when he first came up. Maybe he could also talk about cooperation with that Klee Hall. .

Ke Ling's idea is actually very simple. He, V, and Jack are enough to handle the battle. If there are fewer people, he can still take care of it even if something goes wrong.

The two sides can finally talk formally, instead of being in the same tense situation as before, shouting and killing each other.

Before V and Jack could say anything else, four armed and strong men walked towards them, their eyes full of hostility.

This was approved by the old captain. As a middleman, solving the problem by hand was undoubtedly the last option for him.

"Come in, Mr. Hall is waiting for you."

The old captain and his Santo Domingo brothers waited for Ke Ling's call, while Ke Ling went to the meeting with V and Jack Sandao.

Looking at the unfinished building in front of him that had been transformed into a military bunker, Jack couldn't help but sigh.

In Taipingzhou District, under an unfinished building, Jack Wills got off the Thracian.

"Oh! It's so impressive."

Ke Ling finally got out of the car and made his comment, which made both V and Jack look at him, "You guys are still good at showing off."

V added, her eyes scanning the surrounding automatic turrets, and those scarlet aiming rays shone on them.

So the old captain contacted Klee Hall again and began to mediate, hoping that things would turn around.

"Why else would you be so domineering? Just name the two of us and kill us?"

The leader said, the old captain still has a lot of face. If the old captain didn't act as a guarantee, they would have taken action long ago.

"It seems like this business is really profitable."

He really doesn’t have much Rc cell inhibitor left and can’t save more people.

After the old captain's efforts, this meeting was facilitated, and the smell of gunpowder became lighter.

"Those who are just like chickens and dogs are not worth mentioning."

V curled her lips and obviously didn't care much about these people. If they were all the same as those guys before, she wouldn't be afraid of how many people came.

"Hmph, let's see what they are capable of."

Jack's face was serious. He felt that these people should be given more attention. After all, they have been established in Night City for many years.

"Lead the way."

Jack Wells, V, and Ke Ling looked at each other, and then Jack spoke.

The four people turned around and led the way, while Ke Ling and the other three followed them into the unfinished building.

The scene these butchers were creating was pretty big. The guards in this unfinished building were very strict, and there was a lot of firepower at the entrance downstairs.

Ke Ling, V, and Jack observed the surrounding situation, marked the route, and were ready to start fighting at any time.

In addition to armed personnel, there are also many transporters in this unfinished building. They carry goods and distribute them to stores in various locations.

Just as Jack and V thought, the place they solved before was a subordinate regional sales point, and this was their headquarters.

It is indeed safer to set up the headquarters in Taipingzhou. After all, for Night City, Taipingzhou District is a no-nonsense area.

A group of Haitians, together with the hacker organization Voodoo Gang, and the ubiquitous scavengers, separated the Taipingzhou District from Night City.

No company is willing to take over this hot potato. The companies' operating principles are very easy to understand. When the price paid is not proportional to the benefits, there is no need to act.

The value of the Taipingzhou District was clearly demonstrated during the "Unification War" a few years ago.

This is the frontline and war zone of Night City. As a free city, they always face threats from Southern California.

Once the New United States, which was forced back by Arasaka in the last "Unification War", causes trouble again, the Taiping District will still bear the brunt of it like last time.

Any investment or industry will be wiped out once war comes. This is the main reason why Taipingzhou District is in such a situation.

This was supposed to be the seaside tourist area and shopping area of ​​Night City, but now there are only various unfinished buildings left here, which serve no purpose except to prove that construction was once in full swing here.

The "Unification War" launched by Rosalind Miles completely destroyed the future of the Taiping District.

The forces here are complex, and the main ones are the xenophobic Haitians and the Voodoo Gang. They are the largest in number and control most of the Taipingzhou District.

Others include scavengers who do all kinds of evil, stowaways with unknown origins, escaped criminals, agents from all walks of life, and "Dog Town", a legacy of the last war.

As long as you have the strength and can gain a foothold in Taipingzhou District, then at least you don't have to worry about threats from NCPD and companies, because they are too lazy to enter Taipingzhou District.

Now that Kangtao is still trying to squeeze into the urban area and has not given up, no company will pay attention here.

For companies, this place is like a cesspit, full of smelly and hard rocks. Unless they really can't find opportunities in the city, they won't even look here.

Ke Ling, V, and Jack were observing the situation in this unfinished building. It must be said that these guys have indeed turned the organic meat business on the black market into an industry.

Someone is responsible for receiving the goods. They collect the goods from the wanderer tribe, Haitians, and Dog Town outside Night City, and then transport them to the headquarters for storage. They have a complete organizational structure. Some people are responsible for slaughtering, some are responsible for processing, some are responsible for storage, some are responsible for transportation, and some are responsible for sales.

If I have to say it, in fact, these butchers in this unfinished building can also be regarded as a company.

Ke Ling and the three of them observed their surroundings, and the people they met on the road would naturally look at the three of them.

Those who knew the inside story looked at the three of them with hatred. After all, they destroyed a sales point and swallowed up the money.

As for those who don't know the inside story, they will have some curious eyes, and their eyes will mainly focus on Ke Ling and V.

After all, now that Ke Ling and V are walking together, they can be regarded as a combination of handsome men and beautiful women on the street, with Jack Wells walking in front like a bodyguard.

This building is indeed an unfinished building, but after these butchers took over the place, they renovated it. The six-story building even installed several elevators.

One of the elevators is dedicated to the boss, Klee Hall, and is the only elevator that can lead to the top floor.

Several people got on the elevator and soon reached the top floor. As the boss, Klee Hall was clearly above everyone else. The entire sixth floor was his private domain and ordinary people were not allowed to enter at will.

These four people were obviously Klee Hall's confidants. After arriving on the sixth floor, they greeted the guards guarding the elevator entrance, and they looked very familiar at first glance.

"Wow~"

When they reached the sixth floor, Jack Wells let out an exclamation, and V also looked surprised, obviously surprised.

The decoration style of the entire sixth floor is different from that downstairs. The decoration style downstairs has no style and is just an unfinished building. The decoration style of the sixth floor is absolutely luxurious.

"It's more about personal enjoyment."

Ke Ling commented, it is obvious that this sixth floor is the palace belonging to Klee Hall.

This is not Ke Ling's exaggeration, but that guy Klee Hall thinks so himself. Otherwise, how could he make this place so magnificent?
Everyone walked through the splendid corridor, and under the gaze of the surrounding guards, they came to a door that looked like an auditorium.

"Report to the boss, people are here."

Standing in front of the gate, the leader said to the guard at the gate.

The guards nodded and then asked for instructions inside. After receiving the answer, they opened the door of the auditorium and let Ke Ling and others in.

"."

Looking at the layout in the auditorium, V and Jack Wills were a little stunned. It was really decorated like a small palace!
It can only be said that this Klee Hall really knows how to enjoy himself, which also makes V and Jack Wills even more convinced that this bitch must have earned a lot. How can he earn so much and enjoy himself? Even more hateful!
"Please come in, I'll be waiting for you."

The waiter in the palace came forward and said to Ke Ling and the others.

Some tables were placed in the palace, with many delicacies on them, and maids shuttled around to provide services to people.

Obviously, this was a banquet, and the guests at the banquet were the three of them.

"Is this a show of force?"

V squeezed out a sentence through her teeth, her face was not very pretty.

There are only three of them. What does this guy mean by putting on such a big show? Deliberately trying to squeeze on these country bumpkins who have never seen the world?
"If someone wants to treat us, let's eat. Can they eat us to death?"

Jack Wells was very open-minded. He walked up and brought two glasses of wine first, and gave V one. Ke Ling couldn't drink it.

Under the leadership of the waiter, the three of them finally met the real owner, the Klee Hall. V thought it was ridiculous, this person had quite a large pedigree!

"Are you Clay Hall?"

V was holding the wine glass. She saw that this Klee Hall was already full of dissatisfaction.

She has been working on the streets since she was a child, and she really has never been to a higher level. This Klee Hall is just a butcher, and everyone should be on the same level, but this guy has set up a show for them.

V didn't feel that she had any fault in this matter. After all, these bastards were the ones who started looking for it. If they didn't want to take advantage of others, she and Jack would not take action.

Coupled with the condition that Klee Hall had asked her and Jack to die by name at the beginning, and now Klee Hall's deliberate staging, she looked at the Klee Hall in front of her in a suit and tie, who looked like a successful person, and how did she naturally react? See how unhappy it is.

"You should call me Mr. Hall."

V's attitude was obviously noticed by Klee Hall. He looked at the sassy street girl and said very dissatisfiedly.

This guy does look like a successful man, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with shiny black hair. Although there are many wrinkles on his face, he looks very energetic.

"Okay, Mr. Hall, maybe you should explain why your people are attacking us?"

V laughed, and then continued to speak. Her smell of gunpowder made Jack Wells secretly sigh something bad. This street girl had a bad temper, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Klee Hall.

V's attitude had an immediate effect, and everyone around Klee Hall glared at her, looking like they were ready to take action at any time.

The entire banquet hall was full of their people, and it was hard for them to imagine that V would dare to talk nonsense to Mr. Hall under such circumstances. Is this woman going to die?
"Miss, it was you who killed my people. I can't answer your question now because they are all dead."

Klee Hall stopped the riot by his men. His old face was smiling, but his eyes were already flashing coldly, obviously he was very dissatisfied with V's offense.

V's behavior didn't look like what the old captain said. She didn't look like she was here to calm the trouble, but rather like she was here to cause trouble.

"You mean we're talking nonsense?"

Of course, V heard what Klee Hall meant, and obviously didn't believe what she said.

This is indeed the truth, because all the parties involved on Klee Hall's side are dead. What is going on? Isn't it her right to say whatever she wants?
"You obviously know that."

Jack Wills couldn't help but interjected, "Why is this Clear Hall pretending to be confused here?"
If Klee Hall knew nothing, how could he know that V and he had killed those people?
"You young people, some of you take yourselves too seriously and are too aggressive. Maybe I should teach you a lesson."

Looking at V, Ke Ling, and Jack, Klee Hall sighed. These are the young people in Night City who never know how high the sky is.

"."

Ke Ling was speechless for a while. Before he said a word, V and Jack had already broken down the matter in just a few words.

But he could understand it. After all, Jack and V were the two people involved, and they were also the people directly named by Klee Hall to be killed. These two people had a confrontational mentality from the beginning.
