Chapter 5 - "Your path to revenge only begins."

-Next day after the fight-

Jacob woke up and went straight to the shower, then grabbed something to eat and went to check his phone. There was one message from Dyson, he opened it. Dyson wrote that he would not be available for a few months because of urgent things he had to do. He also said that he can't contact him in any way for his own safety. Jacob was suprised but he accepted it.

-Three months later-

Three months have passed since Jacob's first fight. During these three months, Jacob had several fights, one now and the next week was supposed to be another.

He often went into the fight injured, but despite that Jacob got through it and won or lost fights as he was told. He accomplished a few things, one of them was that he gained fame mainly because of his looks. Black raven hair, light brown eyes and a muscular body was what everyone loved about him.

The second thing was money, his payout for fights was pretty high, but even so, Hiro took most of his money.

And the third thing was the women, as I said before his looks weren't bad for Night City standards, so women went after him like dogs after meat. He even got few new cyberware pieces: Bionic Lungs, Pain Editor. He could not get any more cybeware because his body wouldn't handle it.

Now because of this new cyberware, Jacob had took break from fighting and Hiro didn't like it at all because no fight means no money.

She gave Jacob two weeks to recover. It was almost the end of the second week he had been home. Jacob was leaving the clothing store when he got a message from Dyson to come to the location he sent him. Jacob didn't hesitate and went to the location that he send him.

The location where they should meet was near Dysons clinic in some alley. When he arrived to the given address Dyson was already there waiting for him.

He was standing there with a new hairstyle on his head. From an unedited hairstyle to a stunning ponytail. And another thing that changed was that he shaved his beard, he looked so young.

"Long time no see." Dyson said and reached his hand to Jacob. "Where the fuck have you been?" Jacob asked with smile on his face and he shaked his hand. "Why do you have this old red flight jacket?" Dyson said while he touched Jacobs jacket. "It looked cool so I bought it." Jacob said and pushed Dysons hand away. "Alright enough of this jokes, I have something important to tell you. But not here, we will go to Afterlife, we will have meeting there." Dyson said, "With who? And why?" Jacob asked, "You will see." Dyson answered. As they were walking away talking about what Jacob was doing these past months, what fights he had, new cybeware he got, how famous and rich he got and while talking, three nomad cars out of nowhere stopped them surrounded them. Both of them were suprised, there was something written with light blue painting on red nomad cars. The writing said "Breakers", when Jacob saw the writing he froze in place. Woman came out from the car that was parking in front of them, medium long brown hair, green eyes. "Long time no see, Jacob." Woman said with smile appearing on her face, she closed car door and sat down on a car hood. "Who is that?" Dyson whispered to Jacob with with a curious look on his face. Jacob who was covered in cold sweat answered, "Her name is Sandra, the member of nomad family with whom I was kick out and right hand of nomad family leader." Dyson looked at Sandra with his serious face.

"What do you want?" Jacob asked, Sandra pulled out her gun and aimed it at him, "What do you think? Of course we want you." "You sick bitch. Does the head of family know about this?" Jacob asked Sandra with raised tone of voice. Sandra stared laughing , "Of course...not, he really don't give a shit about you, but we are diffrent story, we want to kill you." "What? why? I did nothing to you!" Jacob yelled, Sandras expresion changed, she wasn't smiling anymore she was pissed, everyone there could feel her bloodlust. "Nothing? You risked life of every family member because you acted like a big hero and went to save your friend, because of you everyone could get killed! Sandra yelled and shot near Jacobs foot, "Jesse was part of family as well, but because everyone left him when he need us most. You don't know shit about Jesse." Jacob said, and sound sirens was getting closer, "NCPD is getting closer, you are runing out of time Sandra." Jacob said to Sandra, "Really? You know that finding someone in Night City is fucking hard and you know when we finally found you we are not letting you go. So think twice who is running ouf of time." Sandra said with grin on her face while Jacob look hopelessly. Meanwhile Jacob and Sandra had hard time talking between each other, Dyson was checking surroundings and thinking about plan how to escape, when he heard NCPD sirens getting closer, he came up with a plan, distract Sandra somehow, shoot her and run away. But there was a problem that Sandra stood up took away her jacket and on her back was kind of military tier cyberware, of course Dyson knew what it was just from one look. It was Zetatech Sandevistan Mk2. Then she load her gun and said "I'm tired of this shit, let's finish this already." ,then Dyson saw glimpse of NCPD vehicle, "NCPD IS HERE!" someone from Sandras group shouted, Sandra turned to look at it.

Dyson shoot high explosive round to Sandra from his hand and big explosion appeared. Then Dyson took his gun and gave it to Jacob but before Jacob could even took it Sandra was in front of him aiming her gun at his stomach "Too slow, fuckers." Sandra said and shoot Jacob, but he catched her after she shoot him and before she could use her Sandevistan against them and Jacob said, "Here is your plastic surgery bitch." He punched Sandra with his whole strength and send her flying. "Let's get out of here." Dyson said and supported Jacob while they were walking, Dyson called delamain to came for them, while waiting for delamain, they stayed in some old alley. Dyson tried to stop Jacobs bleeding. When delamain arrived Dyson told him to go to his clinic and delamain took him. Dyson told him to wait for him there too. They both got inside and Dyson treated him, then he gave Jacob some meds for the pain and both of them when back to the car.

"Where should I take you now Mr. Dyson?" Delamain asked, "To Afterlife." Dyson replied, "As you wish, we will arrive in twenty minutes." And Delamain started to drive. "You said, you have something to tell me, remember?" Jacob said with heavy breathing because of his wound. "Well, now is the best time I suppose. The gang you are after, their name is DoomBringers second most powerful gang in Watson right after Maelstrom, they are not big gang but they sure have power." Dyson said and from his pocket picked out a chip, Jacob looked at it and looked back to Dyson while holding his wound, "And that's not all." Dyson continued, "That woman who you working for her, name is Hiro Yang, she is daughter of Masao Yang the gang leader of DoomBringers." Jacobs look on his face was disturbing, his eyes looked dead like he lost every feeling expect anger, someone could say that he had this ominous aura that only villains have in fantasy novels.

Jacob took chip and inserted it, he saw everythink what Dyson said and knew it was all true. He took out chip and crush it with his gorilla arms, from anger, he had strained vein on the neck that went up to the chin. Dyson saw Jacobs expresion, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I know what do you want to do but you need to wait, we can't do it alone." "FUCK, It's ridiculous how she was lying to me tricking me and using me for her own good, FUCK!" Jacob said hit the window that almost broke. "Chill Jacob, right we can't do anything about it but now you know who is your target and you know how to get to her, so your path to revenge only begins."
