Chapter 35 Certificate of Surrender
Faced with Royce's tearful begging for mercy, instead of expressing any sympathy, Mann's team responded with even harsher ridicule.
"So, you're not even the leader of the fucking Whirlpool Gang now, so how can you be considered a dog of our LA company?"
Pyrrha grinned wildly.
"Oh my god! Look at what kind of people Mann has brought here. It's just a small fry like this. It's better for me to shoot him. At least I can have more fun!"
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Leon remained calm and just stared at Royce silently, as if he was conducting a silent death trial.
"I...I will soon be the boss of the Uzumaki Gang! When the time comes, I will immediately destroy Brick and bring all the gang members to join the LA Company!"
At this point, Royce no longer cared about his inner secrets. He just wanted to save his life first.
"interesting."
Li Ang smiled. His indifferent smile seemed like the expression of a hunter when he saw his prey taken the bait. Things developed as he expected.
"Okay, Chen Tao, Mr. Brick, and Miss Susan Quay, you can come out now."
After he finished speaking, Brick walked out slowly from the other side of the room with a complicated expression in front of Royce and Doom's shocked eyes.
The remaining man and woman are Chen Tao, the boss of the Triad gang, and Susan Kui, the owner of Lizzie Bar.
Most of the underground gang forces in Watson District are here. Even Brick, the leader of the Whirlpool Gang, was invited here by Leon.
Chen Tao from the Triad, Susan Kui from the Mox Gang, and Brick from the Whirlpool Gang!
"Boss, why are you here?"
Doom knew that something was wrong. Just based on what Royce had just said, Brick would shoot him a hundred times with a gun!
Before Brick could speak, Chen Tao burst into laughter and said, "Mr. Li Ang is really thoughtful. He specially invited us to watch such a dog-eat-dog show."
After saying that, Chen Tao did not forget to give Brick a critical hit, and said sarcastically: "You people from the Whirlpool Gang are really interesting. You just kill your own brothers without any hesitation."
"You guys understand brotherly love and respect."
Faced with this scene, Susan Kui seemed very indifferent. She remained apathetic throughout the whole process and just silently acted as a passerby spectator.
She has seen too many scenes like brothers fighting and killing each other in the purgatory of Night City.
At this time, Brick was already filled with grief and anger. He thought he could treat Royce and Doom with sincerity, but he did not expect that what he got in return was alienation and betrayal.
How can it be repaired?
"Mr. Brick, these two guys have put your Vortex Gang on the spot. From now on, you may be hunted by those cops from the NCPD every day."
Li Ang spoke.
Originally, he had thought about cooperating with the Whirlpool Gang, or even directly cooperating with Royce, who had greater ambitions and stronger abilities.
But after discovering that this guy couldn't even do the kidnapping job properly, and not only killed so many innocent passers-by, but also made a mess of the scene and caused a sensation in the city, Leon decided to give up on Royce.
He doesn't need brainless careerists.
Le Ang can accept a partner with desires and ambitions, but he will never cooperate with a two-faced fool.
If you take in a "Lu Bu-like" cyber thug like Royce, you never know when he will stab you in the back.
Although Brick is also a member of the Uzumaki Gang covered with prosthetic devices, at least his brain is normal and he can see the situation clearly.
If you can't win, just give in. It's no big deal. Unlike a madman like Royce, even if he can't win, he will deliberately disgust people before dying.
"Brick, I have a knife and a gun here. This steel blade sword can be used to cut the rope and release the person, and this gun can be used to help you clean up the mess."
"It's up to you to choose the path."
As Leon finished speaking, Lucy placed a brand new silver samurai sword in front of Brick, and on the other side was a powerful [Prelude] kinetic revolver.
Brick's shoulders trembled slightly. He knew that Leon was forcing him to hand over the "letter of allegiance" to the Vortex Gang, or cooperate with the LA company and become a watchdog, and then there would be peace in the world.
Otherwise, you can accompany your two best buddies, Royce and Doom, to the underworld together!
As for the Vortex Gang's territory, the worst that can happen is that Chen Tao will have to work harder and let the Triad brothers kill them all and take it all away. It's not a big deal.
Brick knew very well that on the surface Leon was making a choice for him, but in reality he had no choice at all. The only way out was to cooperate with the LA company.
The other way is a dead end!
"Ok, I see."
Brick seemed to have made up his mind. He reached out and grabbed the samurai sword, then slowly walked towards Royce and Doom.
Seeing that Brick picked up the samurai sword, everyone in Mann's team immediately took alert. Lucy stood with her hands behind her back, the single-molecule wire in her wrist was storing energy, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
Rebecca's gorilla clenched its arms slightly, and also made a fighting posture eager to try.
Leon calmly watched Brick walking slowly with a knife in his hand. Regardless of whether the Vortex Gang was willing to be the watchdog of LA Company or not, the stray dogs in Watson District had to be cleared out.
When Doom saw that Brick was holding a knife, he was so moved that tears started streaming down his face: "Boss! I knew you wouldn't be so cruel, wuwuwu!"
"Help me cut the rope quickly, it's so uncomfortable for me to be tied up like this. From now on, you are my only big brother!"
"..."
Doom kept chattering on the side, and only Royce felt the murderous aura coming from Brick, which gradually spread out along the cables in his prosthetic device.
"Brother, I..."
Before Royce could finish his words, Brick raised his sword and instantly cut off the opponent's red prosthetic eye and half-flesh and half-iron head.
The half of the wire was flashing with small sparks, and brain matter and blood mixed with an unknown green liquid flowed out of the bionic plastic blood vessels.
At that moment, even the gang boss Chen Tao couldn't help but frown and make clicking sounds.
"How disgusting! Is this guy even a human being?"
Bright red blood, yellowish brain matter, and dark green industrial liquid fell on Doom's half prosthetic eye as the samurai sword was swung.
Boom!
Half of Royce's head fell in front of Doom. Before Brick could continue to swing his knife, Doom convulsed and fainted. It seemed that the scene in front of him frightened him so much that his prosthetic device suddenly malfunctioned.
"Boss, this guy's brain seems to be burned out. It may be because he is too emotional, which causes the temperature of the electric circuit to rise. Even if he doesn't die, he will probably become a fool."
Pyrrha used her artificial eye device to scan Dum Dum, who was lying on the ground and twitching, and gave Leon her own judgment.
