Chapter 24: Want to be our LA company’s dog?

"He is the president of LA Company, Li Ang!"

Hei Mei was so excited that the cigarette in her mouth dropped. She had seen reports about Li Ang in the news, but the photo of Li Ang was a bit blurry, and it took her a long time to recognize him.

"What? He is the big arms dealer who sells awesome weapons?" Rita gasped in shock. It was the first time she spoke to a big shot face to face.

"What kind of awesome weapon is that? It's called a kinetic weapon, a technical weapon. How uncultured."

"It all means the same thing, just do it with a bang!"

……

As soon as Li Ang entered the bar, he heard rhythmic music coming from inside. When the members of the Triad saw Li Ang coming, they respectfully led the two of them to a private box.

At this moment, Chen Tao was playing the mouth-to-mouth wine-passing game with a sex doll dressed as a geisha. Seeing this scene, Lucy frowned and held Li Ang's hand even tighter.

It was as if he was telling Leon that he was extremely resistant to this dirty environment.

After seeing that Li Ang really came, Chen Tao was overjoyed. He hurriedly pushed the sex doll away and asked the two of them what they wanted to drink.

"Just regular soda will do."

Leon sat down with Lucy and ordered two drinks from the bartender.

"Open three more bottles of Champagne Paradise. All right, all of you, get out of here. Stand outside and don't let anyone in. Be smart."

After Chen Tao sent away the sex doll, his younger brother and the bartender, he said to Li Ang excitedly:

"Haha! Mr. Leon, do you know that just two days ago, the Tiger Claw Gang came to me and said they wanted to negotiate with me and asked me to return the Kabuki District to them?"

"Oh? Then have you paid it back?"

This incident was a little beyond Li Ang's expectations. He didn't expect that the arrogant Tiger Claw Gang would actually surrender and become a grandson in front of the Triads.

This is somewhat inconsistent with the Tiger Claw Gang's domineering temperament.

You have to know that this gang relies on the Arasaka Corporation behind it, and even dares to provoke the NCPD. They are the real bullies of Night City.

Not only did Chen Tao slap the Tiger Claw Gang several times in a row, he also took over the Kabuki District. The Tiger Claw Gang did not think about how to take revenge, but actually took the initiative to apologize.

This is interesting.

"Haha, I'm nothing!"

Chen Tao said with a grim smile: "I wish I could send all those bastards to hell, but considering that they gave me 10 million euros, I will let them go for now."

"I want the money, but people should go back to where they came from."

By taking the money and not doing the job, Chen Tao has completely offended the Tiger Claw Gang.

But this is also good, because the Triad’s money will be spent on LA companies sooner or later anyway.

"I agree with you, Mr. Chen. There shouldn't be so many gangs in Watson District. Who doesn't want to run a small business in peace and stability?"

Li Ang smiled and said.

"That's right! That's right!"

Chen Tao grinned excitedly, this was exactly what he was thinking, the Tiger Claw Gang, the Whirlpool Gang, all of them must die. From now on, there can only be one big gang in Watson District, and that is his Triad!
"Mr. Li Ang, my gang has gained a lot of manpower recently, and we have placed a lot of weapon orders with your LA company, but I still don't feel reassured. Do you know why?" Chen Tao looked at Li Ang "affectionately". Just with one glance, Li Ang knew the purpose of Chen Tao's invitation. It seems that he is planning to recognize him as his father!
Technology is advancing and the times are developing.

Traditional gangs can no longer gain a foothold in Night City. If they don't rely on the powerful company, they will be doomed sooner or later.

The Tiger Claw Gang is rampant in Night City, isn't it because they rely on the power of Arasaka Corporation? Even the Uzumaki Gang is so arrogant and domineering, relying on the interests of some wanderer tribes and scavenger groups.

As the only Chinese gang in Night City, the Triad can neither connect with many Mexican family forces like Valentino, nor has a decent Chinese company to support it.

Now, the strong rise of LA companies has given Chen Tao hope of gaining a real foothold in the Watson District!
"Mr. Chen Tao, I understand your feelings, but our company just wants to do business in Watson District and has no interest in interfering in gang affairs."

"but……"

Just when Chen Tao was about to lose hope, Li Ang suddenly made a turn of events, which gave him some hope.

"Our company is committed to creating a brand new Watson District, a paradise without gang fighting and where everyone can live and work in peace."

"Mr. Chen Tao, do you have this great aspiration?"

The meaning of Li Ang's words was very simple, just literal meaning, but to Chen Tao, it sounded like a test of his own abilities!
Want to be our LA company dog? Sure!
But you have to kill all the other wild dogs in Watson District, including the Tiger Claw Gang, the Whirlpool Gang and other messy forces, and kill them all!
"Mr. Leon, I understand what you mean! I will definitely not let you down."

After saying that, Chen Tao toasted Li Ang with a glass of wine. Li Ang was a little confused by this scene.

"What a disappointment! This guy seems to have misunderstood what I meant. I didn't say I wanted to get involved in the affairs of the triads!"

Just as Li Ang was thinking about whether to say a few more words to Chen Tao, the triad brother outside the door suddenly shouted: "Boss, there is something important!"

"Come in."

Immediately, the younger brother opened the door of the box and whispered something to Chen Tao. After hearing it, Chen Tao couldn't help but frowning.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Ang, my father asked me to go back. It seems that I can't play with you until dark."

"See you next time."

"If you like any girl here, just order and play with her as you like. Just put it on my account. Just have fun."

"Oh, right! This is the currency chip of the Tiger Claw Gang. It contains 10 million Euros. During this period of time, our Triad has taken over all the weapons of the LA company."

Chen Tao said generously: "If the money is not enough, just consider it as a deposit, and I will make up the rest later."

After he finished speaking, Chen Tao hurriedly left Lizzy Bar with a few of his brothers. Leon and Lucy looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

The bartender had just delivered the champagne paradise into the box, and this private luxury box still had a long time to be used. It would be a bit of a waste to just leave like that.

"Leon, do you want to have a drink with me?"

Lucy pried open the bottle cap and poured the golden liquid into the glass. The sexiness in Lucy's every move, mixed with the sweet smell of wine, was particularly alluring.

"Okay, let's have a drink then."

Li Ang was quick and decisive. Under Lucy's fixed gaze, he poured the champagne down his throat and felt tipsy immediately.

It's not that Le Ang can't drink, but the liquor in Night City is made in a very crude way. This bottle of Champagne Paradise can be used as disinfectant.

"Damn... this is fake wine!"
