But what happens after that?

This evidence may make Joanne fall into the quagmire of verbal and written criticism, and thus be abandoned by Biotechnology.

But even then, there is no way to bring myself back to Biotechnology.

Without the company's protection, I might not be able to survive in this city for even a month.

Just when Emilia was thinking wildly.

A communication suddenly came in.

Emilia took a look.

This is an unfamiliar number.

"Who is it?"

On the other end of the phone was a young man's voice. "Emilia Morton?"

"Who the hell are you? If you don't tell me, I'll die."

"If I were you, I wouldn't hang up the phone. I'm here to help you. I heard that Biotechnology kicked you. They took away the authority of your house and froze your account. Let me guess, are you hiding in some slum right now, trembling?"

"I'm going to kill you! Did that son of a bitch Joanne send you to humiliate me?"

"No, didn't I tell you? I'm here to help you."

"How can I help?"

"You have worked with Joanne before, so you should have some evidence of Joanne on hand.

According to it? I want that thing."

Emilia became suspicious.

"You said you have to give it to me if you want it? Why should I give it to you?"

"You can bring down Joanne, that - in your words - son of a bitch. Don't you think this alone is enough for you to cooperate with me?"

The other party paused and continued, "Not to mention, I can also give you a job."

Work?

Emilia Got it.

Although I don't know where the other party got his phone number.

But if the other party thinks that he will obey him obediently, he is totally wrong.

Emilia sneered.

"I will not work for Scavengers."

"Scavengers? No, no, no, you made a mistake. I asked you to work for a middleman."

Emilia was stunned. "Middleman?"

Originally she thought it was either a gang in the city or Scavengers.

After all, they also have a precedent of picking up Corp Dog in distress.

But...

Yes, why did you forget about the middleman?

Their sensitivity to information is much better than that of the gang/Scavengers group.

"The queen of the next life, the top middleman - Rogge, does this name sound familiar?"

"Roger?"

Even for company employees, this name is enough to ring in their ears.

But...

Emilia grinned.

"I thought you were also from the company, but I didn't expect you were just a mercenary. Did Rogge send you to convince me?"

If it's a middleman, it's not difficult to get your own phone number.

However, if the other party is from the company, Emilia may not think much about it and will agree.

And the middleman...

Even for Rogge, Emilia feels that this level is still a bit low compared to the company.

"Emilia, are you qualified to be picky now?"

The young man on the other end of the phone seemed to have seen through Emilia's inner thoughts, and sneered, "You are not the general person in charge, nor are you Director of Research and Development, you are just an ordinary genetic engineer, and you want other Mega Corporation to call you in person? Do you think too highly of yourself?"

Emilia was choked up when he heard this.

Indeed.

If there are company executives like Diana·Cuno or Joanne·Keqi, other Mega Corporations still have value in wooing them.

After all, senior executives at their level must have a lot of information on Biotechnology.

Of great value.

And the only useful thing I have on hand is the black material about Joanne.

This thing is of little use to other Mega Corporation.

As for my own working ability...

Just put it like that.

If we compare a Mega Corporation to a huge machine.

Then you are just a cog in it.

Maybe my gear is of better quality and more wear-resistant.

But gears are gears.

No one will spend a lot of money on just a gear.

"It's no problem if I want to work for Rogge, but I have to discuss the salary and remuneration with Rogge face to face. Furthermore, Rogge must pay me 200,000 euros as remuneration."

"No problem, let's meet offline. You can negotiate with Rogge and hand over the dirty information you have. But I don't think you need to worry about it at all. This is Rogge."

"That's impossible to say."

Emilia shook his head.

Now she no longer trusts anyone.

"Then where shall we meet?"

"Since you want to meet Rogge face to face, of course it will be in the "afterlife". You don't know this place, right?"

Emilia hesitated. "On Rogge's territory?"

"What? Are you scared? Of course, if you want to be in the wilderness, it's not impossible, Silent Motel? Or Sunset Motel, or Stone Ridge Mountain Town outside the city, it's up to you."

"Then Silent Motel, I want Rogge to come in person, without anyone else."

"... Obasan, we are all adults, can we stop acting like children and saying ridiculous and ignorant things?"

"O... Obasan? Who do you call Obasan?"

"Do you underestimate Rogge too much, or do you think too highly of yourself? You are just a drowned rat. I asked you to choose a location, and you are so angry, right? Are you going to open a dyeing workshop even if I give you some dye? Do you know what Rogge's identity is? Rogge is not allowed to bring guards? Have you ever thought through your words?"

Emilia was scolded bloody by the other party.

She was speechless.

The request just now was indeed too much.

After some wrangling, Emilia finally agreed and let Rogge bring a few guards.

And she will be waiting for Roger in Room 106 of Silent Motel.

In the box of the next life.

Mann and others were sitting on the sofa in various postures, and saw Su Xiao finishing the phone call.

They were all pulled into the same communication channel by Su Xiao.

Therefore, they also heard the conversation between Su Xiao and Emilia.

"Are you really going to alarm Rogge because of this?"

Mann is a bit confused.

It's not just him.

Everyone else had the same reaction as him.

That's Rogge.

The most fucking awesome middleman in town.

Man

Well, they are qualified to enter the afterlife, but it does not mean that they are qualified to contact Rogge.

Being able to be let in by Emmerich can only be regarded as barely having a place in the mercenary world.

As for Roger...

They are not qualified to deal with that adult (Cyber Widow).

And Su Xiao not only seems to know Rogge.

The relationship between the two seems to be pretty good.

This greatly refreshed the level of shock among Mann and others.

"There's no need to trouble Rogge about this kind of thing."

"But you just clearly..."

Su Xiao No explanation.

Instead, he turned his attention to the strange figure sitting next to Rebecca.

She has a blonde bob hair style.

Wearing a red coat.

The most conspicuous thing is.

She was clearly wearing a pink iron mask.

But he stuck the cigarette into the gap in the iron mask.

"Kiwi, that's the right name, right?"

Kiwi nodded.

She is a new hacker who was pulled into the team after Sasha was injured.

She is not a very enthusiastic person herself.

But I heard about Su Xiao's story from other team members.

Su Xiao not only introduces them to better prosthetic doctors.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Mann team are also purchased from Su Xiao.

Su Xiao even allows them to get the goods first and pay later.

You should know that when Kiwi first joined the team.

Tech Weapons, who was completely exposed by Mann and others, was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Not to mention the conspicuous Power Gauntlet of Mann and Dorio.

And Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit in everyone.

Thanks to this, when Su Xiao talked to Kiwi.

Kiwi was still very friendly and took the initiative to extend his hand to show his goodwill to Su Xiao.
