Su Xiao guesses that Ichijo Daisho must be a member of Trauma Team.

I just don't know if it's the highest grade "platinum" or the next-level "gold".

It can't be the lowest level ordinary member.

Of course.

Blocker Chip is not a panacea either.

First of all, Blocker Chip itself is divided into many models.

The latest models are the best and are also ridiculously expensive.

Secondly, if there is a spear, there will be a shield.

If the person who was inserted into Blocker Chip has high enough hacking skills, and has a powerful enough hacker prosthesis implanted in his body.

You can also counter Blocker Chip.

Make Blocker Chip invalid.

Of course Ichijo Daisho is not such a clever hacker.

After Blocker Chip is inserted into the body, it cannot move, even if it wants to move a finger, it cannot be done.

At the same time, it can also be clearly felt that the signals sent out by the biochip implanted in the body keep reporting errors.

Ichijo Daisho, who realized that he was really in a desperate situation now, finally turned extremely ugly.

"You... what do you want? What do you want? Money... money?"

Ichijo Daisho swallowed hard, glanced at Su Xiao who looked completely Polish, and continued, "You are a mercenary, right? Mercenaries do this business for only one purpose, and that is for money.

, tell me, how much money do you want to let me live."

Su Xiao squatted down in front of Ichijo Daisho.

He patted his face with the scabbard.

"You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourself, how much do you think your life is worth?"

Ichijo Daisho glanced at Su Xiao tentatively and reported a number, "Ten... one hundred thousand?"

"Then you'd better go die." Su Xiao's face darkened, he stood up and made a show of killing someone.

Ichijo Daisho quickly closed his eyes and begged for mercy.

"No... wait, I get it! You... you make a price! Make a price! Whatever you say is the price! I will never counter-offer!"

Su Xiao put down the knife and put Muramasa back into the scabbard.

"I don't want the money in your bank account, not a penny, but I know that people like you must have prepared cash and gold bars that are difficult to trace. Tell me where they are and I will let you live."

Su Xiao's requirements exceeded Ichijo Daisho's expectations.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear it, but if he handed over all the cash and gold bars, all the savings he had worked hard for for so many years in the City Hall would be in vain.

But Ichijo Daisho's expression changed drastically, and he finally gave in.

Only if you have money can you make money again. If your life is gone, you won't even have the chance to make money.

"I... I know, but can you give me a shot first? I feel like I'm going to die."

Su Xiao said nothing.

He took out a Pneumatic Syringe and pierced Ichijo Daisho's chest.

Push directly to the bottom.

Ichijo Daisho Then I felt like I was alive.

The blood loss from the wound also began to decrease.

It's not so painful anymore.

"In my bedroom, there is a Japanese samurai armor. If you gently turn the knob on the armor, the armor will automatically move away, and the safe is underneath."

Su Xiao found the safe key from Ichijo Daisho's body.

Come to his bedroom.

This is a bedroom with a typical Japanese style.

But Su Xiao is not here to look at the house.

His attention was entirely focused on the Japanese armor in the corner.

Su Xiao walked over and turned the buttons on the armor.

The unique sound of hydraulic machinery sounded.

Large clouds of steam spurted out from the bottom of the armor.

The Japanese armor, together with the floor on which it stood, slowly moved sideways.

Revealing a safe hidden under the floor.

Take the key found on Ichijo Daisho.

Su Xiao opened the safe.

Contained inside were wads of cash and neatly stacked gold bars.

"What on earth is this guy doing at the City Hall? How does he have so much money?"

What he didn't know was that what was in the safe was actually almost all of Ichijo Daisho's belongings.

There is not much money in the bank account.

After all, with only a salary from the City Hall, how could he possibly live in a mansion in North Oak and hire bodyguards from Arasaka to protect his safety?

A lot of income that cannot be discussed in detail on the table is the use of cash and gold bars to settle accounts.

Su Xiao looked around, then pulled off the sheets.

Wrap the cash and gold bars in the safe in sheets and take them away.

Ichijo Daisho, who was still lying outside, saw the sheets Su Xiao was carrying on his shoulders.

He could guess what was inside without thinking.

An expression of pain immediately appeared on his face.

My heart felt no different than being cut by a knife.

Su Xiao gave him an injection of Pneumatic Syringe earlier.

His broken arm stopped bleeding.

Now his heart is bleeding.

However, soon he won't have to worry about money anymore.

Because he saw that Su Xiao, who had already taken all his belongings, did not leave.

Instead, he walked towards him.

"You, you, you... what do you want to do?!"

Ichijo Daisho was shocked, angry and scared.

He wants to escape.

But with Blocker Chip inserted into him, he couldn't move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Su Xiao got closer and closer to him.

"Don't come over!!!"

The shrill screams stopped abruptly when the blade pierced the head.

Ichijo Daisho's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of his head.

Looking at his dead body, Su Xiao pulled out Muramasa and shook out the blood on the blade.

From the beginning, Su Xiao was not prepared to let go of Ichijo Daisho.

This guy works at the City Hall and holds the jobs of more than 95% of Night City citizens. He actually tortured and killed Bryce's son and recorded the murder as Black Market Dream.

There are some corrupt and incompetent City Hall officials, but compared with them, Ichijo Daisho is even more perverted.

It is impossible to let him go.

There is no benefit to Night City if he is alive, but at least he will be one less scumbag if he dies.

Come out of the manor, drive away from North Oak, and return to Heywood.

In Wolf Bar's garage, Su Xiao first distributed the cash he received to the other three people.

The remaining gold bars are sold through middlemen.

And you won't just find a middleman.

Su Xiao understands that eggs are not put in one basket.

A few days later, Su Xiao received a large transfer from the middleman.

All those gold bars were sold.

The total is 700,000 euros.

Four

People will gather in a box in the next life, and Su Xiao will transfer the 175,000 euros that each of V, Lucy and Jack deserve to them.

"Get rich, get rich."

Jack was overjoyed.

He has been living on the streets since he was a teenager.

Now he is thirty years old.

Life can't be said to be about getting rich overnight, or at least it can be said that there is no improvement at all.

But ever since I got to know Su Xiao, it's been like a change of fortune.

The orders came one after another, and the wallet gradually became bulging.

V and Lucy are also very happy.

And as soon as they get the money, they pay it back.

But Su Xiao only charged them 5,000 euros.

Facing the confusion of the two women, Su Xiao smiled slightly.

"I don't want your interest, so why are you so anxious to pay me back in advance? Just keep it, you need the money more than I do."

For Su Xiao, these hundreds of thousands of euros are nothing more than a few days of helping the priest make Tech Weapons.

There is no shortage of money at all.

But for V and Lucy, it's different.

With these hundreds of thousands, they have more uses.

They need it more than themselves.

Hearing Su Xiao say this, both women felt warm in their hearts.

"Su, where should we go for fun later? Lizzie? Or Cloudy Peak? Or just stay here and get drunk?"

Jack turned on the smart appliance above his head and couldn't wait to browse.

The biggest difference between the wine in Afterlife and other bars is that there are many wines named after legendary mercenaries.

That is to say, it is more powerful than formal.

"You guys drink slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. The money is mine. I'll go say hello to Claire later."

Su Xiao waved to them and walked out of the box.

Go to the bar, point to the private room where Jack and the others are, and tell Claire that all the consumption in that private room will be recorded in his account.

And transfer 10,000 euros to Claire.
