, actually not much.

First of all, Westbrook is definitely not possible.

The base camp of Tiger Claws Gang is at Westbrook.

Moreover, Westbrook's middleman, Okada Wakako, and Tiger Claws Gang are also inextricably linked.

Her several husbands were all senior cadres of Tiger Claws Gang.

Her nine sons are also from Tiger Claws Gang.

Go to Westbrook, it's just Kennedy riding in a convertible - it's so boring.

There are only two real options available.

Santo Domingo and Heywood.

Santo Domingo has two top intermediaries.

One is a veteran middleman who has been working for several years.

The name is Faraday.

This guy Faraday, Su Xiao has never cooperated with him.

But from the mercenaries of Santo Domingo, I learned that this guy's reputation is not very good.

As a middleman, Faraday can get you high-paying jobs.

But unlike other middlemen, he will try his best to reveal information to you.

Instead, it is always hidden and tucked away.

Moreover, Faraday has many stains.

More than once, he treated those unknown low-level mercenaries as cannon fodder and abandoned sons.

Feel free to use it.

In comparison, another middleman named Muammar Reyes has a much better reputation.

He only recently started working as an intermediary.

I used to be Corp Dog, but for some unknown reason, I left the company.

People of Santo Domingo prefer to call him "Old Captain" than his real name.

If Chihana wants to make money to support his family in addition to living, then there is nothing wrong with working for Old Captain.

Besides Santo Domingo, another option is Heywood.

Su Xiao and Jack live in Heywood.

Moreover, the middleman priest of Heywood is a man who pays attention to the old-school style.

As long as you are willing to work for him, he will take care of you and protect you.

This can be seen from the fact that the priest did not hesitate to go to war with Sixth Street Gang and rescue his men.

Su Xiao analyzed his considerations to Chihana.

"A middleman?"

Chihana shook his head, "I don't know, to be honest, I'm actually a little tired of this kind of life."

"I understand." Su Xiao nodded to express understanding.

"Hey, I have a good idea."

Jack suddenly made a sound, attracting everyone's attention.

He looked at Chihana.

"Since you don't want to fight anymore, how about going to Wolf Bar?"

Su Xiao was stunned. "Wolf Bar? Jack, isn't that your mother's place?"

Jack patted his own thigh. "Yes, my mother always complains that there are only two people in the store, her and Peppy, and it can't be busy when there are many people. But in Night City, you also know how difficult it is to find a reliable person."

Jack shook his head and continued.

"Well, maybe in terms of salary, I can't compare with the priest or Old Captain, but at least I can stay away from the days of licking blood... although I also stay away from the opportunity to become famous."

"Anyway, what do you think, Chihana?"

V, who had been silent until now, now said, "I think Jack's idea is quite reliable. Heywood is Valentino Gang's territory."

"Although they have been competing for territory with Sixth Street Gang recently, no matter how arrogant Tiger Claws Gang is, no matter how rampant Seihou Jotaro is, there is no way they dare to provoke Valentino Gang."

"And Mrs. Wells has a very good reputation. If something happens to her, she can get several trucks of bread from Valentino Gang with just one phone call."

Chihana thought about it carefully.

If she wants to wash her hands in a golden basin, then she really can't find a better proposal than going to Wolf Bar.

She has also heard of Mrs. Wells's reputation.

That lady is very kind to her own people.

If you work for Mrs. Wells, you don't need to worry that she will treat you badly.

As for Ryoko's schooling and future work...

Since I can't go to Europe, I can only do other things slowly now.

After several discussions, they were ready to leave immediately for Wolf Bar.

But just before leaving, Su Xiao suddenly asked again.

"By the way, one more thing. How much do you know about the smuggler who betrayed you?"

Su Xiao was not prepared to let it go and sold Chihana's information to Tiger Claws Gang's smuggler.

Although what the snakehead betrayed was not Su Xiao.

But it would be a good thing if there was one less traitor.

"I know what you want to do, but... I'm afraid I don't know any more than you do."

Chihana also wants to kill the snake head.

If it weren't for the help of Su Xiao and others, she would have ended up being betrayed by the smuggler.

Unfortunately, she doesn't know where the smuggler is hiding now.

He might even have left the city, maybe.

"That's it."

Su Xiao sighed.

If you don't even know Chihana, there is nothing you can do.

"What a lucky shit."

Jack looked disdainful.

Traitors are despised no matter where they are.

Just then, a phone call came in.

A familiar figure appeared on the screen of Tactical Goggles.

"Su, how are you? How have you been lately?

How is it?"

"McCoy?!"

Su Xiao looked surprised.

"Why did you contact me?"

The voice of McCoy coming from the other end is quite energetic.

This somewhat relieved Su Xiao.

"Why, can't I call you if nothing happens?"

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Of course I know," McCoy smiled, "How about it, are you here Night City now?"

"Of course, my friend is now in Night City. He is doing well and has made new friends... They are true friends who can treat each other with sincerity, not fair-weather friends."

"That's good, that's good. No matter what age you are, you all need friends, especially now."

"McCoy, how are you doing there?"

"Just so so."

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows.

McCoy said helplessly.

"What's that expression on your face? You don't think we're having a bad time, do you?"

After hesitating for a moment, McCoy sighed, "... Okay, you are right, Su, you are right. Serpent Nation excludes those of us who were formerly Buckle Family."

Su Xiao stared wide-eyed. "Then you are still working for them?"

McCoy sighed.

"Buckle Family is no longer here. If we betray Serpent Nation again, no other Nomads Tribes will be willing to take us in. Moreover, there are so many of us, and there is no way we can find work in Night City like you."

"Besides, although Serpent Nation doesn't treat us as one of their own, at least they don't treat us as cannon fodder. Otherwise, if we have guns in our hands, they won't be able to bear it if we do something to Serpent Nation at any time."

Su Xiao sighed, knowing that what McCoy said was the truth.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

"Okay, if you really can't survive at Serpent Nation, just call me."

"Thanks, Su, don't worry, I will definitely contact you when the time comes, and I won't suffer the consequences to save face."

"Then what do you have to do with me now? We are so familiar with each other, so we don't have to talk about what is and isn't. We can just talk about it."

"It's really something. As I said just now, Serpent Nation has been unkind to us, so we will naturally be unjust to Serpent Nation. In a previous operation, we secretly detained a batch of goods. The reason why I came to you is to ask you to help us get rid of these goods."

"That's it? Isn't this difficult to handle? Why not use the previous sales channels of the Buckle Family?"

"After Serpent Nation annexed Buckle Family, those channels were also controlled by Serpent Nation. If they are used, Serpent Nation will know about it... You know, we don't plan to leave Serpent Nation yet."

"That's it, okay, then let me ask you, by the way, what are the main items?"

"It's a batch of prosthetics, mainly second-generation models, with a small amount of third-generation prostheses."

"Second and third generation? Can you rob such an armed convoy? Are the security guards just freeloaders?"

Su Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.

It's not that he doesn't believe what McCoy said.

But shouldn't the convoys transporting this kind of goods generally be tightly guarded?

Nomads can handle it with just a few broken guns?

"Not everyone is monolithic, even Mega Corporation. There will always be traitors and traitors. There is a person in the convoy who was the nail we planted in the car before."

"After the goods were sold, the money given to him was more than if he made a hundred trips."

Su Xiao understood. "Then don't hang up yet."

He dialed the priest's number.

Soon, the kind face of the priest appeared on another screen.

"Lord bless you, my child. What do you want from me today?"

"Hi, Father, I have a batch of prosthetics here, the second and third generations, do you want them?"

"Are they all first-hand goods?"

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I'm not Scavengers. I don't know how to dig things out of dead people."

"Okay, I will send someone there who can represent me. I will let him contact you later."
