Chapter 39 NCPD Bureau
The cigarette butt that had burned to ashes between Lucy's fingers fell quietly. The subtle sound of it was particularly obvious as their eyes met, like a note striking at the heartstrings.

For the mercenaries of Night City, survival is a necessity and fairness is an ideal that they long for.

In Lucy's mind, Leon is now the chosen one who creates survival and ideals for Night City. This alone is enough for her to give her life for Leon.

"Lucy, I'm glad you said that."

Leon reached out and held Lucy's hand, then stuffed two chips from the emergency team into her palm.

"I can't make any promises to you right now. The only thing I can make sure of is to keep all of you as safe as possible."

"These two emergency team chips are for Lao Wei and Misty. Please help me deliver them. I have to go to the NCPD station with Morgan now."

"Just stay here for now. I'll contact you if anything happens."

Looking at the micro biochip in her palm, Lucy raised her eyes to look at Leon, who seemed cold on the outside but was actually very warm to others, and couldn't help but rush over to hug him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

……

Watson District, NCPD Division.

District Mayor Lucius, who had just finished a press conference, had to run to the conference room to receive guests before he could even sit down to rest.

"Is that thing ready?"

Lucius asked Detective River beside him as he walked towards the meeting room.

"It's ready. It's very obedient. I believe Mr. Leon will like it!" River responded.

In order to repay Leon for saving his life, Lucius spent a lot of money to customize a cyber pet from a biotechnology company.

That is a Doberman Pinscher that has been bred through special genes and enhanced with prosthetics. It has better eyesight and sense of smell, and can recognize humans' pupils to identify their owners.

Although the "dog content" of this type of Cyberdog may be less than 70%, its lifespan is quite long, reaching more than 50 years. The key is that it is obedient enough!

Just this Cyberdog would cost Lucius hundreds of thousands of euros, so it's no exaggeration to say that it's a luxury item at a sky-high price.

"That's best."

While the two were talking, Lucius walked into the conference room. The person sitting on the sofa was Leon, and Morgan Blackhand was standing beside him, acting as a bodyguard.

"Oh! Mr. Leon, I haven't seen you for a few days. I missed you so much." As soon as Lucius saw Leon, he forced a smile and greeted him cheerfully.

"Hello, Congressman. Congratulations on being alive."

Li Ang nodded and smiled at Lucius, "Our company's emergency services are pretty good. The rescue team arrived in the blink of an eye."

"Good! Great!"

Lucius spoke in a friendly manner.

After exchanging a few simple greetings with Leon, he brought over what Leon wanted most.

That is the infrastructure contract for the Watson District, as well as the operating rights agreement for the northern industrial zone and the seaside port!
As long as Leon and Lucius sign this contract agreement, every brick and tile in the Watson District will become part of LA Company's property.

The status that Leon enjoys in Watson District is just like that of Arasaka Corporation in Westbrook District. He is the veritable "local emperor"!
"Mr. Congressman... Oh no, Mr. Mayor, I believe that from now on, the cooperative relationship between us will be even closer."

Soon after Leon and Lucius signed the agreement, the two sides drank a glass of wine with each other, which was considered as a formal achievement of a fairly solid alliance of interests.

Although it is hard to say whether this can continue forever, Lucius and Leon are now friends on the same warship, and both sides can get what they need.

"Hahaha! I'd like to thank you for your good wishes, Mr. Leon. My current mayoral vote rate is much higher than before. Those cyber thugs of the Whirlpool Gang actually helped me to canvass votes." Lucius finally realized what it meant that there will be blessings in the future after surviving a disaster. As long as nothing unexpected happens, his position as the mayor of Night City is basically stable!

"Mr. Li Ang, what are you going to do with those thugs from the Whirlpool Gang? Do you need me to call some NCPD police to cooperate with you?"

Lucius looked at Leon and asked.

As early as last night, Leon had informed Lucius and basically explained the reason why the Whirlpool Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang were colluding.

Although Lucius was very angry, he had no good way to deal with the matter.

The reason is very simple, that is, the Uzumaki Gang is impossible to kill all of them, and it is futile to launch a retaliatory attack against them.

The composition of their gang members is quite complex. Some are wanderers who have left their families, some are scavengers, and some are local street kids.

If it's a gang like the Tiger Claw Gang, which has obvious characteristics and is relatively xenophobic, then it's easy to deal with. Just arrest those with fluorescent tattoos.

One catch one accurate!

"As for the people from the Whirlpool Gang, I will naturally send people to deal with them. At worst, I will send out the company's troops."

Li Ang said calmly.

Corporate forces are basically security forces that only giant corporations are capable of possessing, such as Arasaka Corporation and Militech, as well as trauma teams.

In fact, only companies that control independent corporate forces or can form an army at any time can truly be considered as so-called giant enterprises!

For example, biotechnology, which seems low-key but has great power, does not seem to have many security forces on the surface, but as long as they are willing, they can form a large team at any time.

"That's good! That's good!" Lucius nodded. As long as he could ensure his own promotion, he didn't care about the death of a few street thugs.

"Mr. Congressman, speaking of the NCPD, I have a good idea. You might want to listen to it."

Li Ang said with a smile that what he was going to say next was the real purpose of this trip.

"Really? Tell me."

Lucius nodded to show that he was all ears.

"Do you know who he is?"

Li Ang kept the topic of NCPD in suspense for the time being, allowing Lucius to focus on Morgan Blackhand.

Seeing the silent black-armed man with his hands in his pockets not far away, Lucius couldn't help but frowned: "He looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere."

"Mr. Congressman, he is Morgan Blackhand, the legendary mercenary who has done many jobs for Militech and New America!"

Detective River, who was well-informed about all kinds of information in Night City, recognized Morgan's true identity at a glance as soon as he entered the door.

"He is Morgan Blackhand? He looks quite ordinary." Lucius said bluntly. River looked at Morgan nervously when he heard it.

He was afraid that the other party would rush up to him if they disagreed and strangle Lucius's fragile neck with his strong arms.

You should know that in the ranking of mercenaries in Night City, Morgan Blackhand has always been ranked in the top three, and has been ranked first for many years. Moreover, this guy is also a resourceful lone wolf.

The so-called lone wolf is a mercenary who has no teammates to help him and has to rely on himself to take on various jobs.

A ruthless character like this is not easy to mess with no matter where he is!
