Chapter 19: Six Tigers of the Shinto Shrine!
"I will soon take over the unfinished hospital in Little Chinatown. When the time comes, I hope you can come to the hospital to help. I will open an independent prosthetic clinic just for you to receive your old customers."
Li Ang didn't beat around the bush with Victor and got straight to the point: "If you can come, that would be great. Of course, all this depends on your personal wishes."
During this period, Leon has learned that many unfinished buildings in Little Chinatown are causing District Mayor Lucius a lot of headaches.
It just so happened that he decided to gain a foothold here first, obtain the large-scale construction contracting rights in Little Chinatown, build up his own company's influence, and taking over the hospital was his next goal.
In addition, this is also a good opportunity for Li Ang to get in touch with senior figures in Watson District!
"Wow! You're really generous. It looks like you're planning to build the headquarters of your LA company in Little Chinatown."
Facing Leon's invitation, Victor thought seriously for a while, but finally shook his head and said:
"I'm used to being lazy. If I leave like this, I'm afraid my old customers won't be able to find me. Besides, I need to help take care of Misty, right?"
Victor waved his hand, smiled and sighed: "Actually, I'm very happy that you can come to me."
"I am not interested in the lives of big shots, nor do I want to get involved. For ambitious young people like you, I just hope you can live a good life. Nothing else matters."
Victor's words made everyone in Mann's team feel quite emotional.
The real big shots of Night City are gathered in the cemetery. Who can guarantee that you, who are so glorious today, will be buried in an abandoned site tomorrow?
The world is impermanent.
Li Ang nodded. He understood Victor's thoughts and respected his wishes. "Okay, anyway, I will keep a place in the clinic for you. You are always welcome to come."
"You kid..." Victor smiled and shook his head.
"That's enough for today, Lao Wei. We won't disturb you from watching the boxing match. See you next time."
"Okay, let's go slowly."
"Goodbye, Uncle Victor~!" Rebecca blew a kiss to Victor before leaving.
After Leon and his group left, Victor suddenly found a piece of letter left on his desk. He opened the letter and saw two boxing tickets and a letter inside:
[The world heavyweight championship finals will be held this weekend, Sivits vs. Blanco, you and Misty should go and watch it together.
The position I have chosen for you has a golden perspective, I hope you enjoy the show.
Li Ang stayed. 】

Westbrook, North Image District.
As the most prosperous and glamorous district in Night City, the bright and bustling Beixiang District is definitely a luxurious city that will make you linger.
The city’s richest people, smartest elites, and most glamorous stars are all located here.
The bright neon lights flashing all day long make the passing sex dolls, luxury cars, and dignitaries in strange costumes look extremely gorgeous.
A simple and elegant temple located in the prime location of Beixiang District stands out in this noisy and extravagant red-light district. It is one of the bases of the Tiger Claw Gang, the Shinto Shrine!
Outside the elegant and simple bamboo corridor, the maid's white jade feet stepped lightly on the floor as she walked forward slowly.
Immediately, she opened a shoji door and placed the plate of sashimi, wasabi, and sake in her hand on the floor.
In this empty dojo, six big bosses of the Tiger Claw Gang were gathered together to discuss matters concerning Little Chinatown.
Hiromi Sato, Ryoume Miyagawa, Jotaro Masahiro, Shuren, Taketo, and Obata Isin are the core leaders of the Tiger Claw Gang and control the various industrial areas of the gang.
For example, Jotaro Masaharu, this guy controls most of the production chain of Black Mewtwo in Night City. From kidnapping to finished product production, he is an indispensable link in it.
These bosses make so much money every year from running casinos, nightclubs, brothels, dream clubs, smuggling contraband, and collecting protection money that they can't stop grinning.
But this year, some unhappy things happened to them, such as the rise of the Triads, and Chen Tao was plundering the Tiger Claw Gang's territory in Little Chinatown and Kabuki District!
"Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
The person who spoke was the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, and he could be considered the big brother of everyone present. His name was Hiromi Sato.
He has purchased many penthouse villas all over Night City and can be considered a gang member who loves money like his life. Faced with the provocation of the Triad, Hiromi Sato was of course furious.
Silence, stillness, suffocating speechlessness.
Seeing that no one said a word, Wu Dong snorted angrily: "What? Are you all fucking dumb! Watson District is not just mine, your share is also in it!"
Wu Dong's rage did not attract the indignation of the crowd. Instead, Jotaro Masahiro, who was dressed in a suit, sneered at Wu Dong:
"Wu Dong, I remember that it was your little brother who provoked the Triads, right? Now that you've angered their boss Chen Tao, you want us to clean up your mess. Why?"
Jotaro has always looked down on people who make money by fighting and killing. He thinks it is too unskilled and not at all elegant.
Unlike him, who directly asked the scavengers to kidnap people, and then created the violent and bloody Black Super Dream, and then dismantled the prosthesis and sold the organs. It was a one-stop production, that was clean and neat!
"Humph! Why? Just because your Black Super Dream den was taken down by Chen Tao's people, isn't the profit from my nightclub and bar to the gang enough every year?"
Wu Dong wanted to grab the bottle and hit Jotaro on the head.
This beast in human form only knows how to do sneaky things all day long, and colludes with that bunch of disgusting scavengers.
There were a few times when the scavengers under Jotaro Shoho actually captured and dismembered the sex dolls in the Muto nightclub, and they even tried to pretend that they were ignorant and get away with it!
Even among the top leaders of the Tiger Claw Gang, there are many people who think that Jotaro Masaharu is a living beast and a damn bastard.
In response to Wudong's counterattack, Jotaro Zhengfa stopped talking and just stared at him fiercely.
Wu Dong was right. After his Black Mewtwo den was busted by the Triad, the monthly output had indeed dropped significantly, and buyers from other regions were already urging for delivery.
In short, without Little Chinatown and the Kabuki District, the Tiger Claw Gang would lose a large part of their profitable industries, which was something the six of them would never allow.
In addition, the Watson District is also the next operational focus of Arasaka Corporation. Letting the Tiger Claw Gang clear out the local gang forces in advance is also a decision made by the company's top management.
As a result, the Tiger Claw Gang not only failed to kick the Triads out of Little Chinatown, but also lost the Kabuki District. This is not good news for Arasaka Corporation!
