Chapter 39

"Royce, Royce, Royce..."

I shook my head and walked over to him. No, I wasn't going to mock him, and when he opened his mouth to say something I just kicked him in the head and knocked him out.

"Girls, work hard. get everything you can out of that asshole..."

"Malstrom might not like it... after all, one of the first after Brick, he must have a lot of information and extensive access..."

"That's it. we'll sell the info through a fxer. If they don't want the information to fall into the wrong hands, they'll buy it back themselves, and they'll pay us... and they'll pay us a lot."

"A lot of problems will come too..."

I sighed.

"Nah. No one but Royce is gonna die. I'm gonna drag them out of the building before we go boom."

"So can Royce..."

"Bookwoman. Is there something I don't know?"

"Б... A friend of mine used to hang out in Malström, and he talked about Royce too. And even if he spoke in a foul tone, but this foul tone was still admiring."

I sighed.

"All in all. a lot of Fixers already know my face. and in Postmortem we shone a couple times, so it's really not necessary to clean up everyone who saw me, and I've never done such a thing..."

"See..."

"Except Royce is a vindictive asshole... he's gonna get his revenge and he's not gonna give a shit where or how... so it's easier to eliminate him."

I looked thoughtfully at the body of the Malström gang representative. As I did so, I thought very hard. What would I gain by keeping him alive? The fact that it would preserve some line of canon I do not take into account... I've been on butterflies a lot already, not even stomped on, but jumped on... so.

"Scribner ..."

"Quiet?"

"Are you asking for him or not?"

"А?"

"Are you asking me to let Royce live or are you just bringing it up?"

"Well, I guess I'm asking..."

"Okay, then I'll honor your request..."

"А?"

"I say okay, let him live..."

I stepped away from Royce and went downstairs, turning on the sandi again I entered the last room, there were ten bandits in it, each holding a machine gun and all those guns pointed in my direction.

However, they had neither advanced optics to see my approach through the door, nor the experience and skills and asshole instincts to start shooting in time. So these ones, unlike Royce, didn't stand a chance. Although Royce didn't stand a chance either.

"Working girls..."

While the girls were hacking everything they could get their hands on, I was introducing substances into the reagents that were here, substances that were supposed to start decomposing them. Just because after the second day it turned out that the explosions didn't destroy everything, some of the substances still poisoned ordinary people and I turned to Vic, who helped me to make a plan of action.

While the girls worked, I started carrying bodies...

Rough man's work...

When I moved all the bodies I had nothing to do, and the girls asked for at least fifteen more minutes, because there was more information, and the accounts were much more. In short, we were going to make an unbelievable amount of money.

Anyway, I just started mining everything a lot better. The building was an emergency building, so you could tear it down and bury everything in the basement underneath.

"We're done..."

"Got it... I was already on the first floor and calmly walked out of the building and being near a bunch of Malstremovs pressed the detonator button..."

Explosion...

As far as I know it must be a branch of hell inside now because of the heat that's destroying everything that was in there. And after the building started folding inward...

Beauty...

I shook my head.

"Girls give me the data that downloaded..."

The data was immediately forwarded to me and I immediately put our connection on hold and contacted Regina.

"Quiet..."

"Regina, there were some Malstroms here at the last site... they're generally alive, although Royce has lost the chrome on his arms and legs, but these lunatics will find a replacement and put it up quickly... unless, of course, after a high-profile failure, they scrap him. Anyway, I've got some data from their network here...

"Do you want to sell?"

"Yeah... I think you know what to do with this data, but I wish you would offer to buy it back first... I don't want to get in really big trouble with these nutcases, neither I nor I think you do... and they might just do it out of principle..."

"That's right... well forward it. you seem to have destroyed all the labs, the other solos, although not as successful as you, have cleaned up the outlets... I even got Dorio and Pilar involved at your request..."

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome... they've done a pretty good job overall. so I don't mind throwing them a job every now and then. at least as long as they're willing to work with me. But as long as it's nothing serious. they may have a good reputation, but the team is clearly incomplete right now..."

I nodded my head.

"Are we free?"

"So far, yes..."

"Regina?"

"Tell me, if anything, are you willing to fit in a problem case?"

I sighed.

"Well, you know me, anti-corp I don't really want to work against, but in general, I'm going to have to take that path sooner or later. So.

I covered my eyes for a couple seconds.

"I think so. just warn me in advance... it will be necessary to buy chrome, and to put upgrades for girls... because I'm afraid there only on skills and a small amount of chrome will not go out..."

"Well, according to the information you've already given me, it's not an Arasaki or Militeh level corporation, more like one of the subsidiaries. But you're right, you'll definitely need an upgrade... But I'll check it out first, and there's no rush... They're not gonna be able to get back up to speed on glitter or any of the other stuff. so we're gonna hit them hard."

I nodded my head.

"Catch the payment, as well as a bonus from the customer... and yes, I'll contact Malstrom, have them pick up theirs..."

"Thank you..."

I ended the conversation and started talking to the girls again.

"Okay, talked to the fixer, everything's fine, but it looks like we're due for an upgrade..."

"Quiet..."

"Cherry, I know you're anti, but if what fixer warned me about comes true, the upgrade will be necessary. But either way, it's all negotiable..."

"Okay, we'll talk at home..."

"Uh-huh... Thank you all.

I plugged into the account and sighed. After that, I shuddered.

"Mother of God..."

"What's there..."

Kiwi showed interest and I just covered my eyes and dropped four hundred and fifty thousand on her, Lucy and Judy.

"Kha..."

The girls coughed, however, Becca and Panam also started coughing as I dumped their shares on them.

"Yeah. good money."

I was a little confused, too. We had already made over a million dollars on the chumba this week... with Panam and Becca, who had the smallest shares, earning more than a million, and our rancheros earning more...

"Uh, listen, uh. what are your next plans?"

"Mentor, has our Tychon captivated you?"

"I was rather captivated by the earnings... I in our team could not earn so much in a year... and here in a week... I'm about to pay off half my debt to F...fixer!"

"Let's talk a little later..."

I covered my eyes.

"I'm calling tomorrow a day off. But we will definitely get together. Celebrate such a successful week and yes, Mentor, this is the first time we've had such successful orders. So don't expect to make this kind of money working with us forever. On average, I think we'll be able to raise fifty to a hundred thousand per plague in two day's work... if you count the current roster, of course."

Having made conversation I took out all the chips from the Malstremovs, after which I made my way to the road, where I was soon picked up by Tortie next to whom Kiwi was riding her motorcycle.

"Here we go..."

Bestia's call was very unexpected...

"Can I congratulate you?"

I sighed and raised my hand to stop the conversations in the salon, and I put the Kiwi connection on hold when I saw who was calling me.

"I see you get information VERY quickly..."

"Owning information is my job..."

The image of Bestia grinned.

"When you start my assignments."

"The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is our day off, and after that I'll fulfill your orders."

"Okay... then get the data..."

I blinked, and my image nodded signaling that the data had come to me.

"Study it and when you're ready get to work."

"Roger that..."

The connection broke and I breathed a sigh of relief as I reactivated the link with Kiwi so she could hear exactly what I was saying.

"The Queen of Postmortality is, as usual, very informed and shows a modicum of impatience..."

"B-bestia?

Becca was very much surprised by my words.

"Yeah... she already gave me an assignment, but she agreed to postpone it until the day after tomorrow... so tomorrow, like I said, it's a day off. we'll go on a picnic."

"A picnic?"

Kiwi was very much surprised.

"Literally. I'll grill a shish kebab. I'll feed you deliciously... We'll relax in nature... the main thing is to find a place not in the sands..."

"Well, uh. there's a place I've got."

Judy joined the conversation.

"A cabin near the lake..."

"Uh. you mean the lake near town?"

"Yeah, there's no others around."

Judy looked slightly irritated at Becca, who had asked the question.

"I come from a town that used to be on the site of a lake, and when the town was flooded, a townsperson built his cabin next to it... and I used to vacation there a lot. I haven't been out there since I met David. But it's pretty nice."

"Okay, so we'll pack up and go there tomorrow morning. for a vacation. so the girls to the town so they can get ready, and we have to get ready. to buy deck chairs, I also need to put together a normal barbecue and make skewers, because you can't buy that here..."

"I see you've got it all planned out."

Kiwi was surprised.

"And you're against it?"

"No, uh. It's just a little sudden. I'm used to celebrating in the afterlife. so I'm a little confused."

I shrugged.

"Get used to it, if you work with us, I won't take you to bars. I prefer to cook my own food on these occasions. Well, you should know that by now from the snacks I've provided you all."

"Uh-huh... that's unusual. hitting on all of us?

I was about to reply, but she beat me to it.

"I'm sorry, David, but you're not my type. I prefer a more mature man."

"Pilar?"

"Kmh..."

"Is that a guess?"

I was very surprised to see that I'd hit the nail on the head. And Pilar's a personality, and I just called him to tease him, and it turned out to be... Yeah.

"Well..."

"Fuck, no way, you're into my asshole brother?!"

"Well. crush is too strong a word. I'm more interested in him."

"Well, fuck..."

I even turned around to see Becca's fucking face, and Lucy looked confused and incredulous. But at least she was keeping it all to herself, whereas Becca didn't seem like she was going to stop.

"He's a degenerate! Totally unreliable! Cretin! Asshole! Chromium-addicted, dumb-ass motherfucker!

"Becca, we hear you... Kiwi understands you."

I stopped her from continuing to insult her brother.

"I just don't understand..."

"Becca, there's an expression. Love is evil, love a goat..."

"Yep...like my brother..."
