Chapter 161: Who Cares What He Thinks
Was Dogtown KK's Dogtown? Would Night City become KK's Night City too?
"Then it's settled."
During the KK Squad's dinner, although Johnny was absent, the squad—accustomed to deciding matters by majority rule—still successfully reached a decision.
"So we've decided to support Jefferson Peralez, right?"
Oliver summed up the conclusion they had reached at the table. The result did not surprise him.
The squad members had all heard Carl personally recount what had happened to her recently.
Personally, Jefferson Peralez had Zechi as a connection, making him half one of their own. Publicly, his political ideals truly benefited Night City. The KK Squad had no reason not to support him.
After all, the team lacked someone with a voice in politics, and Jefferson was the perfect choice.
In fact, the KK Squad had once considered backing Mr. Johnson's entry into politics. However, Mr. Johnson himself lacked enthusiasm for politics, and if he left, there would be no one in the Night City Police Department who could immediately take his place—Andy was still young and remained somewhat inexperienced when handling complicated matters.
After weighing everything, the KK Squad had temporarily abandoned the idea of getting involved in the mayoral election because they had no suitable candidate.
But all that changed after they came into contact with Jefferson Peralez. Following their discussions and decision, Jefferson had now become the mayoral candidate backed by the KK Squad, giving them ample reason to intervene in the election.
After all, the integration of Dogtown and Night City would ultimately require someone official to push it forward. Compared to those calculating politicians, Jefferson Peralez had at least always acted in the interests of ordinary residents.
"So our next course of action is to help Jefferson Peralez win the election, right?"
