"Cannon? What kind of name is that? Why don't you just call yourself Collapse... Cannon, are you the new leader appointed by the Clementi Family?"
"How did you know? You planted a mole in my organization."
"No, but it doesn't take much thought to figure out that if you weren't the new leader replacing the Clementi Family, you wouldn't have any reason to call me."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're very clever, Mr. Jack?"
"Mr. Cannon, I think we should stop beating around the bush. I'm not a patient man, and I especially can't be bothered with small talk with strangers. Get to the point. Why did you contact me?"
Cannon shifted his position.
"Mr. Jack, I hope to stop the fighting between the Clementi Family and your people. We're willing to pay a price for it. You can propose a compensation plan first. As long as it isn't excessive, we can accept it."
Jack did not answer immediately.
Instead, he turned and glanced at Su Xiao, who was sitting beside him.
Su Xiao smiled.
He had heard the entire conversation between Jack and Cannon.
Now that Cannon had taken the initiative to call Jack and seek reconciliation, there was no doubt that the Clementi Family had been beaten badly enough to beg for mercy.
The gang wars in Night City had not happened for many years.
Now, the Clementi Family had gone to war with several factions at once and suffered heavy losses.
Although the fighting had only lasted half a month, the Clementi Family had lost more than it had over the past several years combined.
They could not hold out any longer.
That was why they wanted a ceasefire.
Su Xiao wrote a few words on a sheet of paper and showed them to Jack.
