"Unable to do anything else, Chihana, a former soldier, had no choice but to do dirty work for the Tiger Claws Gang to repay her debt."
"After she finally spent several years paying off the debt, the Tiger Claws Gang refused to let her go because Chihana was such a useful tool."
"When threats and inducements both failed, the Tiger Claws Gang even tried to use her daughter, Ryoko, to blackmail her."
"Unable to endure it any longer, Chihana decided to defect from the Tiger Claws Gang. That was why she came here, hoping I could remove the trackers they had implanted in her and her daughter's bodies."
After patiently listening to Victor's long explanation, Su Xiao could not help rubbing his forehead and sighing.
"So that's why the Tiger Claws Gang came knocking. You... Ah, Old Wei, what am I supposed to say to you?"
There was an unspoken rule for living in Night City.

"So many days have already passed. The Tiger Claws Gang only came looking now. Perhaps they've already left Night City."
Victor nodded. "Let's hope so."
