"I want to liberate Cloudy Peak and snatch Cloudy Peak from Tiger Claws Gang's hands."

Maiko Maeda shook his head.

"This is impossible. It seems that you don't understand Tiger Claws Gang, Judy at all. If you come to me just to say this, then I can only say that you have disappointed me."

"You should leave quickly before I call security."

Judy: "Maiko."

Maiko Maeda was too lazy to say anything else to her. She returned to her desk and pressed on the intercom. "Security, come to my office right away."

Seeing Maiko Maeda calling security, Judy had no choice but to give up.

The two of them walked out of the office and left the super skyscraper where Cloudy Peak was located.

Judy's car is parked on the roadside.

After Su Xiao followed Judy into the car, Judy slapped the steering wheel with hatred.

"She didn't even give me a chance to convince her."

"Judy, you want to use Evelyn's story to arouse her sympathy, but in my opinion, Maiko Maeda is not a very sympathetic person at all."

Just now in the office, Maiko Maeda lied.

No lie detector machine is needed, Su Xiao can determine it.

Maiko Maeda said that she only found out about Evelyn after the fact, and she didn't know it at the time.

This is impossible.

As the second-in-command of Cloudy Peak, it is impossible for Maiko Maeda to not know what happened in Cloudy Peak.

It's impossible for her not to know what kind of person the wooden man is.

Judy might believe Maiko Maeda's nonsense.

But Su Xiao doesn't believe it.

From Su Xiao's point of view, there is actually no difference between Maiko Maeda and those in large companies.

It's all about the desire to gain greater power and want to climb up.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for Judy to rely on Evelyn to impress Maiko Maeda.

"You said before that the plan couldn't proceed without her. Now that she's unwilling to do it, have you thought about what to do next?"

Chapter 315: Don't bully young people into being poor, don't bully middle-aged people into being poor, the dead will be the big ones (4K)

"I have to think of something big before I can go back to find her."

"You still haven't given up?"

In Su Xiao's opinion, Judy's plan can be described as full of flaws.

She didn't even bring Mox Gang with her, didn't even have a careful plan, she just wanted to drive Cloudy Peak's Tiger Claws Gang out.

If Evelyn were not still alive and needed her care, Su Xiao would have doubted that she was deliberately seeking death.

"Of course we can't give up. We need her. Only she knows better how to operate Cloudy Peak and how to deal with Tiger Claws Gang."

Since I have promised to help Judy, I naturally can't give up half the time.

But Judy seems to be very interested in Maiko Maeda, Su Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Okay, but Judy, even if your plan succeeds, even if Maiko Maeda succeeds in taking over, I advise you not to have too high expectations for Maiko Maeda."

"She is not necessarily any better than her predecessor."

Judy didn't know whether she heard it or not, she just nodded quickly.

"I made a note... let's separate first, and then I'll contact you when I think of a solution."

By the time Judy contacted Su Xiao again, it was already a day later.

During the day when Judy was looking for him, Su Xiao was not idle either.

He collected a lot of information about Tiger Claws Gang from Wakako and Rogge.

"Judy, have you come up with a plan?"

"Of course I have figured it out. Come to my place tonight. I will explain something to Tom and Roxanne. By the way, they are the people I said I met in Cloudy Peak."

After a pause, she continued, "Maiko will come too, I should."

Su Xiao is a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Judy could really convince Maiko Maeda.

Either Judy is as powerful as Uzumaki Naruto's Mouth Release, or Maiko Maeda can see from this that she can benefit.

"After that day, you still contacted Maiko? How did you convince her?"

"This is really exciting. I'll tell you when I get there tonight. Also, what kind of pizza do you like?"

"Vegetarian combination, artichokes and avocado, plus some zucchini for health reasons."

"It's really high-end, okay, then we'll see you tonight."

Just when Judy was about to hang up the phone, Su Xiao suddenly said.

"Wait, Judy."

"Where did you arrange to meet? Your home?"

Judy's tone was a little confused. "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What about Evelyn?"

"I will lock her in the room. It won't take long for us to talk. We should be able to finish talking in an hour at most."

Su Xiao frowned.

Then I felt something was wrong.

Forget about the two people mentioned by Judy.

But Maiko Maeda will also go.

When I think of Maiko Maeda, Su Xiao, my mind immediately

It emerged that Maiko Maeda had a strange and sinister expression when they met before.

"Let's go to the next life. I'll pay for a private room for us in the next life."

There are many types of private rooms in the afterlife, including Rogge's, which is directly in the hall;

There are also ones like Dexter which are at the back of the lobby and pay special attention to privacy.

What Su Xiao wants to rent is the one that Dexter originally discussed with them.

Talking in that kind of private room not only pays attention to privacy, but also does not disturb Evelyn.

Sometimes, mental illness is far more serious than physical pain.

So much time has passed, and Su Xiao only has sympathy and pity for Evelyn. She really asked for it, but the few of them who were involved in this matter are getting better and better now. Only Evelyn has become like this, which looks very pitiful.

For such a trivial task, Su Xiao doesn't mind helping.

"Would this cost you too much?"

Judy has never been to Laisheng to open a private room, but she knows that it is Night City's Mercenary Holy Land, and the cost will definitely not be cheap.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small amount of money," Su Xiao said directly without giving Judy time, "Then it's settled, we will meet in the next life. When you go over, just tell Emmerich who is guarding the door my name."

Evening.

In the private room of the next life.

Su Xiao walked into the private room and saw Judy and two other people already sitting on the sofa in the private room.

On the glass table in front of him, there were several boxes of pizza and some drinks.

When Judy saw Su Xiao coming in, a smile immediately broke out on his face, "You're here, great. Find a place to sit."

After Su Xiao sat down, Judy began to introduce Su Xiao: "This is Roxanne. She has been working at Cloudy Peak longer than any of us."

"This is Tom, you should recognize it."

Roxanne aside, Tom is Evelyn's friend and Sex Doll of Cloudy Peak. The relationship between the two in Cloudy Peak is the best.

When Evelyn's accident first happened, Tom thought Evelyn was on vacation abroad.

Until Judy told him the truth.

He was so sad that his heart was broken.

This is also the reason why he is determined to join Judy, a plan that seems to be full of flaws.

Because he doesn't look like Evelyn.

Su Xiao nodded to them and said hello.

Only then did Judy distribute the pizzas.

Su Xiao saw that their pizzas were not moved, obviously waiting for him.

"Why don't you eat first? The pizza is almost cold."

"It's better to eat pizza together when everyone is here."

Roxanne and Tom both heard from Judy the identity of Su Xiao.

This is the president of a company.

Although it is just a small private military company, it is still a company.

Roxanne and Tom have never seen such a big shot in their lives.

I don't even dare to dream of such a dream.

Now, such a big shot is just like them, staying in this underground private room and eating bought pizza together.

Their hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

Why eat first?

"Where is Maiko Maeda? Didn't you say she would come?"

"She's going to be late. It's okay. There's no need to wait for her. Let's eat first and then we can discuss the plan after she arrives."

It was as if the time had been calculated accurately.

Maiko Maeda When Su Xiao and the others had just finished eating pizza, they walked into the private room.

He still has the same arrogant attitude as before, especially when he looks at Roxanne and Tom, his eyes and expressions...

They are not treated as equal people at all.

However, when Maiko Maeda's eyes shifted to Su Xiao, her arrogant posture suddenly froze.

Then, that arrogant attitude quickly disappeared from his face.

Instead, there was unconcealed panic and fear.

However, Maiko Maeda is Cloudy Peak's second-in-command.

This negative emotion was quickly restrained.

It's like nothing happened.

"Judy, now you can tell me your plan."

"I modified Behavior Chip so that it can now equip any Sex Doll with a motion reflex system... In other words, it allows Sex Doll to move and fight like a top killer."

Maiko Maeda said in her usual sinister tone, "It sounds great. You can learn so many things while working as a lieutenant in Mox."

Su Xiao noticed that Roxanne and Tom's faces were a little ugly.

But none of them happened.

They all know Maiko Maeda, and they also know that Maiko Maeda is the second-in-command of Cloudy Peak.

They also know that this plan requires Maiko Maeda's help, so that they can get close to Cloudy Peak's top leader.
