Su Xiao doesn't think Dexter is

Good stuff, but sometimes, the most basic bottom line has to be talked about.

Unless Dexter is a scam like Faraday.

And if you want to get rid of Dexter, you have to deal with the aftermath.

The aftermath here refers to making Dexter no longer able to cause trouble to them.

Otherwise, following Evelyn's idea will lead to endless troubles.

Evelyn held out five fingers. "I can give you 50%. With so much money, it is enough for you to leave Night City and start a new life elsewhere."

Su Xiao didn't say no.

Instead, he decided to stabilize Evelyn first. "I want to think about it."

He was worried that if he refused too simply, the woman might go crazy again.

Evelyn nodded.

She opened the utility room door and made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, you have my number. Call me when you think about it clearly."

Su Xiao leaves Lizzie's Bar.

Return to Delamain Taxi.

"Let's go and pick up Lucy first."

After getting Lucy into the car, Su Xiao told the three people the information obtained from Evelyn.

At the same time, Evelyn also expressed his intention to kick Dexter out.

V, Jack, and Lucy are all our own and worthy of trust.

There is no need to hide it from them.

I will kick Dexter away when I hear it.

Jack was stunned immediately as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

V and Lucy also fell into deep thought

Even Jack, who wanted to make a lot of money, couldn't help but question Evelyn's proposal.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Jack is a native of Night City.

Night City is his home.

He just wants to make more money and leave Heywood.

Go to North Oak or Charter Hill and buy a house that belongs to him, Misty, and their children in the future.

If Dexter is tricked.

Then he can only run away and leave Night City.

Evelyn can do that without any scruples.

He can't.

Don't forget, it's not just Misty.

His mother Mrs. Wells is also at Night City.

"Even if it's out of interests, I think it's better not to go back on your word."

V, who had been thinking for a long time, slowly expressed his thoughts.

"Not to mention that Jack has many bonds with Night City. It doesn't mean that they can be broken by cutting them off."

"Let's just talk about whether this relic is really that valuable, and whether Evelyn can be successfully sold, we don't know yet."

"In anything, you can't just think about the good things without considering the worst consequences."

"For example, "The Great Sage and the Holy Master" Ram, even if he uses the exhaustive method and takes all possibilities into consideration, the result is still failure."

"It would be the worst if the relic makes us unable to make any money at all and offends the middleman."

Su Xiao nodded.

V's ideas coincide with my own.

As a mercenary, credibility is very important.

Although it seems ridiculous to say this in this increasingly degenerate city, the more morally corrupt it is, the more important credibility becomes.

Unless Dexter is unkind first, they must not be unjust first.

Moreover, that woman Evelyn·Parker gave Su Xiao a very unreliable feeling.

It was obviously the woman who was looking for Dexter.

As a result, before the matter is completed, you are already thinking about kicking people and reducing the share?

In addition, there is a core problem.

It was after they took out the chip and gave it to Evelyn.

How to ensure that Evelyn will not kick them out as well?

Don't forget, the reward Evelyn promised them was a full 50%.

That's a lot of money!

If Evelyn didn't care about money, she wouldn't risk being killed by Arasaka by stealing Arasaka's chip.

Since Evelyn can even disobey the rules on the road, how can we expect that Evelyn will give them the full 50% of the money as promised?

After discussion, the last few people unanimously decided to ignore Evelyn's so-called proposal.

Jack hesitated. "Do you want to tell Dexter?"

"It's better not to tell Dexter." Su Xiao shook his head.

Evelyn wants to get rid of Dexter.

Dexter is so silly and sweet.

All I can say is that each has its own merits.

It's best not to say anything. Who knows how many variables will be added if you say anything.

"By the way, you guys go through this Mewtwo video first, and then I'll show it to Dexter."

Half an hour later.

Jack took off Tactical Goggles and looked shocked. "Raijin Arasaka's bodyguard is actually that legendary figure, Adam Hammer?"

Su Xiao nodded.

In fact, he had already discovered it when he was watching Mewtwo at Lizzie's Bar's place.

Adam Hammer is a legendary figure of the same generation as Johnny·Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, and Andrew Weiland.

But the difference is that the latter only left the name.

The former not only survived, but also became Arasaka's dog.

He is also a legendary figure, and the latter is respected by everyone, but when the name Heavy Hammer is mentioned, there is only deep trembling and fear.

killed by him

The number of people who lost their money was not only one thousand, but also eight hundred.

Even Johnny·Silverhand died at his hands.

He is the only living legend of Night City.

"But it's not a big problem. Heavy Hammer should be Raijin Arasaka's personal bodyguard, and he will never leave. As long as we sneak in while Raijin Arasaka is not in the penthouse suite, we won't encounter Heavy Hammer."

Jack When I think about it, this is also the case.

They were there to get things, not to fight.

Just be careful and don't set off the alarm.

How did Heavy Hammer know they were here?

Afterwards, several people discussed some details.

Until it was confirmed that there was nothing to add, Su Xiao asked Lao De to drive to the Afterlife Nightclub, go down alone, and hand the Mewtwo chip to Dexter.

Dexter said that he would make good use of this information.

Then he and T-BUG will come up with a plan.

Just ask Su Xiao to go back and wait for news.

Come out of Dexter's box.

Su Xiao frowned.

It's not that I'm worried about Arasaka's revenge.

But I was thinking about another thing.

It's about your own strength.

"Murphy's Law said - 'Whatever you are afraid of will come true'. Although the plan is to take action when the heavy hammer is not in the penthouse suite, as long as there is a plan, there will be mistakes."

Information about the heavy hammer quickly emerged in Su Xiao's mind:

Adam Hammer is a fairly typical social scum, a little-known New York gangster.

After his gang was kidnapped, he chose to enlist and join the army of New America.

After several years of military service, he was forcibly discharged due to misconduct and found a job as a hired gun in New York.

For him, this life is not bad.

Because his unscrupulous and cruel style brought him enough errands to earn enough money to allow him to indulge in guns, equipment, drugs and promiscuity.

Then, just like everyone in this business, they will face disaster.

Zhonghami finally got the job that ruined everything for him.

During a dangerous commissioned mission, several Rockets bombs exploded him into a blur of flesh and blood.

Strictly speaking, Heavy Hammer is actually quite lucky.

Anyone else would have died long ago.

But he was still able to survive.

His friends stuffed the remaining parts of Adam into their bags and took them back to New York.

Then, Arasaka contacted him and gave him an offer he couldn't refuse:

--Either accept the transformation of the whole body except the brain, and then serve the company until the world is destroyed;

Or die.

There is no doubt that Hammer chose the latter.

In the seven years since his rebirth, the new Adam Hammer has made a name for himself on the East Coast.

The transformation of his whole body into a prosthetic body means that he has combat power that far exceeds that of other Cyber Mercenary.

Arasaka provided him with high-quality products from the genuine company, as well as supporting prosthetic body maintenance services, coupled with Heavy Hammer's own cruel and bloodthirsty character and iron-like will, which kept him away from Cyberpsychosis.

If anyone else had implanted so many prosthetic bodies into their bodies, they would have gone crazy.

But Heavy Hammer showed no signs of going crazy.

After rebirth, the heavy hammer is ready for all tasks.

As long as it's not an obvious suicide mission, or a trap to betray him.
