On the contrary, Knight’s dream city, Night City, emerged precisely because of these tumults:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night City, a port city in Northern California, replaced the former San Francisco and Los Angeles to become the most important city in California and even became independent after the split of Mei Country and connected with Mexico.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Unification War, Southern California was reclaimed by New America. Because the trade with Mexico was cut off, Night City’s independent attributes greatly decreased, forcing it to depend on continuously bringing in corporations and allowing them the utmost freedom, letting chaos flourish and turning it into a city battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The Wanderer’s Adkaduo was a large clan of wanderers active on the borders of New America and Mexico, originating from San Francisco. With the rise and fall of Night City, they took root here and were greatly affected when this trade route was controlled by New America—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Adkaduo is our trade maintainer, with over five hundred thousand Adkaduo wanderers active in the wilderness, organizing this batch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bunch of bums.\" Hansen directly interrupted Lille, \"I find your plan full of spineless politicians, brainless hooligans, and hungry wanderers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille stared at Hansen and retorted directly, \"Right, and now we’ve added a deserter who threw away his armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your mouth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hansen’s subordinate, Bennett, directly lashed out angrily, but was scared back with a wave of Hansen’s hand— from the outside, it seemed like he might even pee his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was obvious that Hansen was also very annoyed, his face darkening...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille slowly raised a finger, rhythmically tapping his wheelchair lightly: \"All the people you look down upon, what they lack is me:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The politician’s courage, the gang’s brains, the tomorrow for the wanderer, and... you know soldiers throw away their armor because they lose courage, especially those who turn to being second-hand dealers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet if you were in my position then, you’d definitely pull down your trousers, stick up your ass, and expose your ASShole to the corporations, because you’re a damn coward—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins on Hansen’s forehead were visibly throbbing, every muscle in his body tensed up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you’re so tough, you little...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coward!\" Lille raised his voice—technically elevating the sound inside his throat, which was already capable of delivering lossless rock music to an open-air concert hall, shattering eardrums!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Hansen was baffled, but even Jack and V were shaken by this sudden high-decibel sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, right at the center of the stage, with the conclusion of the introduction by the Netherworld Dog host, the grand curtain opened, and Kerry made a dazzling entrance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the leisure or elegance to appreciate what kind of ingenious performance it was, the rock king’s raspy voice rose together—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We’ve lost everything—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kurt Hansen!\" Lille’s voice shook the room’s noise-canceling system to near overload, \"You got used up by Military Technology like a bit of BYT, proudly smearing the leaked bodily fluids you’re carrying on your face, emasculating yourself... telling others you’re a big, important, used-up whore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll tell you why I’m here: Military Technology, Arasaka, and the corporations’ tacit assassination of Ryan, trying to push a compliant mayor: either Hot or Perares, and I refuse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot is Arasaka’s lapdog, Perares is a puppet produced by Ye Group’s brainwashing, so your assumptions are right:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve taken control of Night City, I’ve slapped the corporations’ faces, I—I run this city now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either you, the deserter who threw away his armor, pick up your weapon, or you keep on—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We had to pay a price—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hansen could no longer endure Lille’s high-intensity output: \"If only wars were won with loud voices, you’re just a dreaming madman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The flames you ignited devour my hatred—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the madman! You really think by giving up the AI project in Dog Town and relying on Military Technology, you’d turn the tables?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hansen’s rage abruptly stopped, replaced by shock in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he know!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[yeah—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge rock stage on the holographic projector collapsed instantly, with Kerry exerting all his strength to scream, and the whole stage projection distorted and shattered along with it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille knocked on the table, an instant of red current flashed across Hansen’s prosthetic eye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Colonel, surprised?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An exaggerated current surged through the entire Night City nightclub, and the network monitor in charge was instantly ejected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prolonged buzzing sound mixed with Kerry’s roar turned into an aggressively piercing scream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests at the party all stopped what they were doing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Phantom and Iron Hand, the two hackers standing next to the wires, snapped to attention:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Netherworld Dog soldiers aimed at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Netherworld Dogs had all entered combat mode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Lille’s springboards outside, executing the tasks Lille had assigned them through the tapping, identifying the access points Lille had indicated through the tapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hacking response a moment ago was too intense and directly exposed them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That electric spark was brighter than a damn sunlamp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Phantom kept her eyes on the outside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her prosthetic eye, used for battlefield photography, could capture the light of an electromagnetic sniper rifle in the dark night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Csshh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside the private booth, two dark bullet holes were left on the sofa next to Lille:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sniper struck as promised; the bullets, moving at an unseeable supersonic speed, hit directly on a Mantis Blade, shattering it into two incomplete pieces...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: My calculation was correct, you’re really lucky.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phantom’s observation and Lille’s hacking would pinpoint the Netherworld Dog sniper’s exact location, Munemasa then concerning himself with the Tsunami Defense System’s super sniper rifle \"Rakshasa\"——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a retro-futuristic electromagnetic sniper rifle. In other words, a weapon manufactured by digging up, studying, and combining advanced technologies from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munemasa had a hand in contributing those advanced technologies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place unseen by the Netherworld Dogs, the woman holding the Mantis Blade, V, left a large patch of sweat on the back of her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was outrageous, the Netherworld Dogs in the booth, including Hansen, staring at the black holes left by the shards, almost completely losing control of their expressions—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of prosthetics, what kind of software, what kind of person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could have pulled off that sequence of operations just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we talk now?
