Damn, what the hell is going on... Jostar! Jostar! How the fuck did you fire that?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jostar hurried over to the car, pulling open the mangled door, reaching in to pull out his boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I don’t know either, Doom Doom said something about unstable voltage...

Come out in a couple of years, and you’ll still be a hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You squat in a cell, same as I squat in a cell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I surrender today, tomorrow the company will have me killed in jail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the NCPD’s sirens grew closer and closer, making Qian Chuan’s head throb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it all over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten years of hard work and careful management, he finally turned Westbrook into All Night City’s \"safest,\" most prosperous service area, providing a place for everyone to be entertained...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, the uncrowned king of Japan Street, was he now going to be choked to death on the street by a bunch of... fucking sex dolls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brick added, \"Or maybe you should just give in to those chicks behind you if you don’t want to get caught by the NCPD. You’d better move quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really like a stupid idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chuan raised his hands, ready to surrender to the Mox Gang that he once looked down upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he lifted his hands and peeked out from cover, he witnessed a horrifying scene:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cyborg who was just there suddenly grabbed his own good sister, and ferociously smashed her head into his groin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A watermelon hitting a giant rock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chuan shrank back, breaking out in a cold sweat: \"Fuck, better run for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brick and Jostar were just about to take the opportunity to run away with Qian Chuan surrendering, but Qian Chuan peeked out and then pulled back suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cyborg chick has gone cyberpsycho.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car behind them exploded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reaver: Yes, an alert has gone off in Japan Street.
