"Would you like a drink then?"

"No need, I have something to ask Roger."

"Roger, she usually only stays in her own exclusive box, but I'm not sure if she is willing..."

Claire didn't go on to say anything else.

But Su Xiao understands the meaning.

"It's okay, it doesn't cost any money, just give it a try."

Su Xiao said goodbye to Claire.

Then he walked straight towards the box opposite the bar.

At the door of Rogge's exclusive box, stood a mercenary.

Anyone who has been around for a long time in the next life knows him.

He is Roger's subordinate.

The name is Crispin·"Pangolin"·Weyland.

That's right.

He was the son of Andrew "Old Snake" Wayland, a famous legend back then.

Seeing him coming, Crispin subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Please stop. This is private property. You are not allowed to enter without an invitation. If you are looking for fun, go to Claire. She has all kinds of drinks to satisfy you."

Su Xiao glanced inside, then his eyes fell on Crispin, and said seriously, "I'm here to see Rogge."

A woman's voice came from the box. "Let him come in."

Crispin stopped blocking and moved aside.

There is a woman in yellow clothes sitting in the box.

The woman's face looks weathered, but the years have left no trace on her figure

He was obviously a mercenary who was in the limelight more than fifty years ago.

After so many years, she is now in her seventies or eighty, but her figure is still the same as that of a thirty-year-old woman.

Rogge crossed his legs and took a good look at Su Xiao who walked into the box.

"Sit down."

Su Xiao was not polite and sat down on the sofa to Roger's left.

Rogge put one hand on the sofa, turned sideways, and stared at Su Xiao.

"Do I know you?"

"I don't think I know you, but I know you, Night City's most powerful middleman, a famous former mercenary who owns and operates the afterlife."

Rogge nodded slightly. "I am very useful, but if you only want to see me specifically to compliment me, then you can leave now."

"I would like to trouble you to buy some things for me."

Victor told Su Xiao before.

If you want to help Lucy, replace all the areas marked in red with the best genuine products...

Only the most knowledgeable middlemen can do it.

And Rogge, who is sitting in front of Su Xiao now, is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable middleman in Night City.

If Regina, Okada Wakako, Father, Faraday and Old Captain are the top middlemen in their respective districts...

Then Roger is the top middleman in the entire Night City.

This can also be seen from the fact that she is the owner of Mercenary Holy Land's "afterlife".

"Gun? Or prosthetic body?"

"It's a prosthetic body."

"What kind of prosthetic body do you want?"

Two golden lights lit up on Su Xiao and Tactical Goggles.

Send Roger a list of items you needed in the past.

Rogge's eyes were also shining with brilliance.

"Hmm."

She glanced briefly, showing no emotion on her face.

Su Xiao can't see through the mind of this woman who has supreme power in Night City's mercenary world and middleman business.

She did not reply immediately to Su Xiao.

Instead, he pointed in the direction of the bar and snapped his fingers, "Here, two glasses of tequila."

"Thank you, but I don't drink."

"Then do you want something to drink?"

"Ice Cola."

"Coke and ice, you came to my place to stay healthy, right?"

Complaints are complaints, but Rogge still placed a new order for Su Xiao: "One cup of tequila, one cup of Ice Cola."

What Roger ordered was served quickly.

Claire put down the tequila and Ice Cola cups. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Rogge say, "Leave the bottle."

So Claire left the bottle on the table again.

Su Xiao picked up Ice Cola and saluted Rogge: "I wish you good health."

Rogge raised the tequila and also saluted Su Xiao: "I also wish you good health, my child. You can use it no matter you are young or old."

After drinking all Ice Cola in one gulp, Su Xiao put down the cup and said, "Excuse me, can you get me what I want?"

"Are you serious about this list of items?" Rogge lit a cigarette and said slowly, "These are all Fourth Generation Cybernetics. Even if it is Mega Corporation, only the most elite field agents and soldiers will add a full set of Fourth Generation Cybernetics to themselves."

After taking only one puff of cigarette, Roger put the cigarette down.

She no longer crossed her legs and her hands were no longer resting on the sofa.

Instead, he sat upright and looked at Su Xiao seriously.

"With all due respect, the money you spend to buy these prosthetics is enough for you to rent a villa anywhere in North Oak and live happily and spend a lot of time. Can you really afford so much money, kid?"

This shows that it is not unreasonable for Rogge to become the queen of middlemen.

If it were Okada Wakako, he would have made fun of him long ago.

But Roger didn't.

She just calmly stated her interests for Su Xiao.

Even in her opinion, buying Su Xiao as soon as it comes out is enough to replace a full set of Fourth Generation Cybernetics for one person, which is a bit unreasonable.

But Rogge still didn't mean to look down on Su Xiao at all.

At least it doesn't show up on the surface.

Faced with Rogge's questions in person, Su Xiao chose to use practical actions to dispel her doubts.

He transferred the money directly to Rogge.

Rogge took a look at the transfer he received.

The face is only slightly discolored.

And there was a turmoil in my heart.

Where did this young man get so much money?

Rob Arasaka's vault?

Rogge is not

What I do know is...

Su Xiao cooperated with the priest, he produced Tech Weapons, and the priest was responsible for the sales channels, which was a huge profit.

In addition, he keeps a clean mind and does not engage in prostitution or gambling, and he will not even touch that thing that shines.

At most, I play games occasionally, catch up on TV series, and read movies, animations, and novels.

Except for necessary expenses, most of the money earned is saved and will not be spent randomly.

Now that Su Xiao has given all the money, Rogge has nothing to say.

"I do have the ability to get you what you want, but it will take some time."

Su Xiao felt relieved.

As long as Rogge agrees, there is nothing she can't do.

"If possible, I hope it will be as soon as possible. I am anxious to use it."

Su Xiao will come out of the next life.

Delamain Taxi is still waiting outside.

Just when Su Xiao had just opened the car door and was about to get in the car.

A shout suddenly sounded from behind.

"Stop!"

Accompanied by a burst of messy footsteps.

When he entered the next life, he saw those gangsters who didn't like Su Xiao and chased him from below.

When nearby passers-by saw this scene, they hurriedly stayed away with a tacit understanding.

The gangsters saw Delamain Taxi next to them.

There was a surprised expression on his face.

But what emerged immediately was an increasingly greedy look.

The two gangsters surrounded Su Xiao on both sides, blocking Su Xiao's escape route.

"Hey, you still came here by Delamain Taxi? Where did you get so much money?"

Su Xiao's face darkened, but considering that the transaction with Rogge went very smoothly, he still gave these gangsters one last chance.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm kind enough to allow you to get out now."

"Boy, I think you haven't figured out the current situation yet, you idiot..."

Before the next words could be spoken, he was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot.

Either don't do it, or do it.

Su Xiao quickly pulled the triggers of the two guns.

Two Large Caliber Revolver fire alternately.

The muzzle flash illuminated Su Xiao's cold face.

Pedestrians nearby heard the exchange of gunfire.

Either they ran away screaming, or they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

When the gunfire stopped, the gangsters who had just tried to attack him were now corpses on the ground.

Turn the revolver a few times in your hand and insert it back into the holster.

Su Xiao It was as if nothing happened.

Sit back in the car.

The next moment, Delamain Taxi walked away.

Only the bodies of the gangsters were left with expressions of shock and astonishment on their faces.
