Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"Tell me, I'll definitely help you, but you have to help me too!"

"Okay, I need the citizen data from the NCPD database, the one specifically for frontline police officers to scan with their prosthetic eyes."

Stins immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow. Aside from confidential information, you can scan everyone in this city. So, what about the favor you're owed me?"

“Tell me his name, and I’ll blow his brains out within two weeks.”

Stings thought for a moment and then said.

"I don't need you to kill people for me, I just need you to find out who Dutt's real superior is."

"The real upline? Who was his original upline?"

"A guy called Woodman, that guy is in charge of Genting, but there are rumors that Woodman is just a dirty worker."

Vito recalled the plot of 2077.

“I happen to know this information. Give me the data tomorrow, and I'll tell you about the person behind it all.”

"Okay, it's a deal."

After the two finished talking, Vito tied up the surviving Tiger Claw gang members and threw them into the trunk, then drove east into the desolate wilderness of Badlands.

Boom!

He threw people off the car one by one, and then woke them up one by one.

"Come on, let's play a little game where I ask you questions and you answer them."

Chapter 54 As long as you live, you will become dirty.

"Come on, let's start the game, beginning with you. What's your name?"

Vito shoved the euro into the face of the first thug.

The thug kept wriggling on the ground, muttering curses under his breath.

"Oh, sorry, my problem, I forgot a crucial step."

Vito pulled out his knife and stabbed the thug's pain modifier to pieces.

"Now, do you want to answer my question?"

The thug was writhing in pain, but he kept cursing, and his words were transmitted to Vito's ears through the translator.

"You despicable bastard, you'll be torn to pieces by the Tiger Claw Gang! Your family will be hunted down one by one, and they're all dead!"

Vito directly destroyed the thug's synthetic lungs, and his face slowly turned red, then purple, and finally black.

Just as the thug was about to die, Vito restored his synthetic lungs to normal.

"You're eliminated. Wait for the notification. Hold on a bit. I'll roast you a couple more times later and see if you can still spew nonsense."

Vito walked up to the next person and stabbed the pain modifier to pieces with the same move.

"And you? Want to play a game with me?"

The thug was sweating profusely from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted.

Long live Tiger Claw!

Vito scanned the thugs.

"Hey, no wonder you're so confident, you didn't install synthetic lungs, did you?"

Vito drew some alcohol 2 and injected it into the thug's vein, then gave him a shot of a powerful stimulant. The thug rolled on the ground in pain, screaming in agony.

Vito then walked up to the third thug, pointed at his eye with the euro, and asked.

"Thirdly, I've lost two games and I don't want to lose a third. What about you? Do you want to play this game with me?"

The thug swallowed hard. He often participated in kidnapping and torturing others, but he had never seen a ruthless person like Vito. In his eyes, Vito was a terrifying interrogation master.

"I...I'm willing!"

He was different from those two hotheads; he himself often tormented others, so he knew best how painful it was.

"Great! What's your name?"

My name is Ueno Hajime.

"Oh? And you're a genuine Japanese import? What's your position in the Tiger Claw Gang?"

"I, I'm just a button man, an outsider."

boom!

Euro bullet pierced Ueno's calf.

"Excuse me, I misfired and didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."

Ueno yelled.

"Ahhh! I'm a full member, and my superior is Sasaki Narusei! This time it's for real, I'm not lying!"

"Okay, okay, Ueno-kun, one point for you. Oh wait, Ueno-kun, you can turn on the pain modifier now. I'll take care of the first tough guy first."

Vito then blackened the synthetic lung of the first thug who had just recovered.

"Aaaaaah! I don't have the pain modifier!"

Vito was a little embarrassed. He plugged Ueno's bleeding wound and then continued to ask.

"Did you know that the Tiger Claw Gang has been kidnapping people lately?"

Ueno nodded vigorously.

"I know! I know! We kidnap people every day, especially women!"

Vito continued to use euros to hold off Ueno.

Why are you tying them up?

“We forced some people to become sex dolls, extorted money from their families, and kidnapped some to film Mewtwo!”

"Let's talk about the Mewtwo part."

"Someone in the group supplies the Mewtwo crew; sometimes it's props, sometimes it's women."

"Do you remember the Mox Gang?"

"I don't know, I really don't know! I'm responsible for tying up those drug addicts on the street, and most of the gang members carry weapons, so I don't dare to touch them!"

Vito removed the gun from Ueno's eyeball.

"Ueno-kun passed the game! Let's move on to the next person."

Vito restarted the first person's synthetic lung and then walked up to the last person.

"And you? What's your name? Want to play games?"

"I, I, my name is Mukai Sakura, and I am willing to cooperate with you."

Sakura Mukai was terrified and stammered as she spoke.

"Very good. Do you have anything to add to Ueno-kun's answer? Hurry up, my time for answering is limited."

"Yes! Yes! I know who wants to film Mewtwo. His name is Jotaro Seiho. I once gave him a modified Mega Gundam!"

Vito frowned when he heard the name Jotaro Seifu. This was the second time he had heard the name. Previously, Vito had only focused on the main quest and did not know much about the side characters of the Tiger Claw Gang.

Has he asked you for any goods recently?

“He contacted my superior. I heard he’s been looking for that madman, you know, that blockhead.”

"Oh? Did he find it?"

"No, no one in the gang has ever seen Square Head alive. He seems to have lost patience. I heard that the higher-ups really like watching his Mewtwo. He can't possibly keep waiting to catch Square Head. He must have gone to film something else."

Vito asked a few more questions, and Mukai Sakura answered them truthfully.

"Mukai-chan got the highest score of the round! Let's give her a round of applause!"

Everyone else was tied up, and only Vito's lonely applause and the screams of Tiger Claw's number two member echoed across the wasteland.

boom!

Vito blew the head off Tiger Claw Gang's number two, and the screams stopped abruptly.

"Aren't we celebrating you screaming in pain right next to us? Isn't that just causing trouble?"

Vito returned to the car, put on the facial disguise, and then went back to the three of them.

"You, the legendary breath-holding king, what's your name?"

Tiger Claw Gang Leader Number One had been tortured to the point of losing his temper, and he forced his voice out of his throat.

"My name is Hirata Shin."

Vito untied the three men.

"Right now, Mukai-chan is in first place, Ueno-kun is second, and Hirata is third. Hirata, you better do your best! We're going to play a second game now, called 'Don't Laugh.' You won't be able to pass the second level either. Now, enjoy the game!"

After saying that, Vito removed his facial disguise, revealing the iconic Night City night view screen of the blocky-headed man.

The three survivors were all cold-blooded; the mercenary in front of them was none other than the infamous Square Head.

"Run! I'll start shooting from third place. The survivor will win the grand prize!"

The three turned and ran, and Vito once again hacked Hirata Shin's synthetic lung.

Hirata Shin collapsed to the ground, now regretting that he had installed a synthetic lung, and also regretting that he had listened to the bullshit orders from above and come to find Stings to have a bad time.

boom!

Vito fired a shot right in front of Ueno, who was running wildly, startling him and causing him to speed up.

boom!

This time, Vito stopped toying with him and shot him in the head.

He shouted as he watched Sakura Mukai run out of his pistol's range.

"Congratulations, Mukai-chan! Your reward is 2,400 euros, and I'll transfer it to you right now!"

The Sany heavy machine gun on the vehicle sprang out, and Vito's remote-controlled machine gun aimed at Sakura Mukai and fired a burst of ten bullets.

Sakura Mukai was smashed into a cloud of blood.

Chapter 55 Courage

Vito didn't even bother to deal with the bodies of the four Tiger Claw gang thugs; these utterly wicked scum didn't deserve a grave.

Vito drove the Magician back to the city. On the way, he saw the newly built experimental site for biotechnology. The sky was dimly lit, and the workers were like small machines, using large machinery to build the company's facilities.

It seems that Romano's reports are being ignored, and biotechnology continues to advance new projects.

drop.

Vito received a message from Channel 54.

"Heavy hitter Lei Long gave high praise to the amateur boxing match held in Night City the other day. He held a press conference to announce that he would fight the civilian champion of this match in Night City. Lei Long's team called this battle Lei Long's journey to find his roots."

Lei Long himself and his sponsors promised to set a prize of 100,000 euros and donate all ticket revenue from the competition to Night City Animal Protection Association.

This move has caused a huge reaction in the boxing world, with many boxing legends saying it will help the development of the entire boxing industry.

Razor Hughes, Razor's arch-rival, said that Razor's move was a publicity stunt. Here are Razor Hughes's original words.

"Screw you, you sissy! If you can't beat the professionals, you go fight the amateurs. Be careful you don't break your secondhand prosthetic body and have to take out a loan to repair it!"

Upon entering the city, Vito headed straight for his destination, intending to use the time difference to upgrade his skin system before he arrived at the city center.

The upcoming battle with the Tiger Claw Gang will be anything but easy; such a powerful gang likely has a few members equipped with advanced cybernetic implants.
