Chapter 227: Sir, You Wouldn't Want Anything to Happen to Your Son, Would You? (3K)
"Mr. Su, forgive me for being blunt, but aren't you getting off topic? I don't care what reasons they have. This isn't what I hired you for. I only want you to rescue my son and his girlfriend. That's all."
The discussion in the VIP room was interrupted.
Everyone stopped talking.

His incomplete intel had gotten dozens of mercenaries killed, if not a hundred.
And in the end, he had died in an underground parking garage somewhere in Santo Domingo.
Night City had plenty of fixers, but only a handful made a name for themselves.
Mercenaries might work for fixers, but they weren't their slaves.

Su Xiao figured Dante probably had some sort of bad blood with the Salamanca Group, which was why they had targeted his son
