"Quick! Jump down with me, the drone is coming!"
Seeing the rapidly approaching armed drone in the distance, Alex Carter's heart raced.
This was the crucial moment that would determine whether Jackie could survive!
To save Jackie's life, he had orchestrated a special time difference.
Otherwise, they would have waited for Yorinobu Arasaka to leave the room before departing.
However, according to the original plot, T-BUG would die after being discovered by the network monitor.
Jackie would also be hit in the liver by the drone, bleeding to death.
But now, it was all different!
As the alarm blared and Adam Smasher and Goro Takemura were about to enter the room, Alex acted quickly, kicking Jackie in the rear.
"Don't argue! Jump down!"
"Ah! What the hell!"
With Jackie's scream, Alex jumped down with V, who hadn't reacted yet...
"Crash"
"Thud, thud, thud..."
After a loud noise, the three of them barely landed safely.
At that moment, the armed drone overhead whizzed past, failing to detect them.
"Cough cough... Alex, can you give a heads up next time, damn it?"
"Ugh, if it weren't for me, we'd be toast here... Cough, V, can you get off me first, I can't breathe."
"Uh... Are you alright?" V's face flushed as she looked at Alex beneath her.
No wonder she hadn't felt uncomfortable falling from such a height.
There was a human cushion beneath her, after all.
Temporarily safe, the three of them leaned against the wall to catch their breath and chatted.
"Alex, you really pulled it off. We made a huge profit even without the Relic!" Jackie said excitedly.
There were still 10 million euros in his account.
That's a whole ten million euros!
"By the way, after getting the money, why didn't you chop up that idiot Yorinobu with one swipe or hijack him to leave the building safely?" Jackie asked suspiciously.
In his opinion, hijacking Yorinobu and leaving safely seemed much safer than forcing their way out later.
Alex smiled and shook his head: "In that case, things would get out of control."
In other words, the plot would spiral out of control.
Alex silently added in his heart.
In fact, up to now, he had done many things, including the conditions for negotiating with Yorinobu Arasaka.
All of it was to ensure that the plot could develop according to the original course once it appeared.
This way, he could maximize his advantage.
At this point, V, who was still calm, suddenly asked, "Alex, what's your purpose for doing all this?"
Alex shrugged and shifted to a more comfortable position. "You heard me. I want to see the two companies go to war."
"And then?"
"Then we can wait for opportunities and capitalize on them," Alex said matter-of-factly.
Hearing Alex's words, V couldn't help but twitch an eye.
"Us?"
Alex nodded, looking at Jackie and V with determination:
"That's right, us. Don't you want to be a real big shot, a living legend?"
"You lunatic..." V muttered.
He was trying to provoke a war between the two major companies, intending to take advantage of it.
If that's not crazy, what is?
"So, do you want to do it?" Alex's words were somewhat provocative.
Facing Alex's invitation, both V and Jackie fell silent.
After a while, Jackie gritted his teeth and said, "Mierda! (damn) If it weren't for you today, V and I definitely wouldn't have escaped so easily."
"For something big, count me in, Jackie Welles!"
Seeing Jackie agree, a satisfied smile appeared on Alex's face.
As for V, he wasn't worried.
If her personality was similar to his, she would never refuse his offer after considering it.
Thinking of this, Alex picked up "Kue" and stood up.
"Alright, V, there's still time to decide once we leave the building safely."
"Well, let's go!" The two stood up upon hearing his words.
Under Alex's lead, the three left the air-conditioning room and continued to find a way out of the building.
Alex was quite familiar with this route.
Even if nothing else, he knew exactly when and where the security guards were and what weapons they carried.
Sneaking downstairs, they eliminated two guards.
After opening the door, while one checked the meditation room, Alex quietly broke the other's neck.
And V cooperated by using her prosthetic body to remotely turn off the surveillance that was about to catch them.
"You're very professional."
Seeing Alex's efficient technique, V couldn't help but be impressed.
Alex smiled and said, "We've all been colleagues before."
"You were a mercenary too?" Jackie asked in a low voice.
There was doubt in his eyes.
As far as they knew, Alex had no prosthetic body, not even a personal link.
How had he survived on the battlefield with just flesh and blood?
"Well, it was in other places. I'll tell you more some other time. Let's focus on getting out."
With that, Alex led the way toward the meditation room.
And then Alex's performance completely shocked V and Jackie.
It made them realize he wasn't just "professional."
Throughout the journey, Alex displayed his previous assassination experience and knowledge of the game to the fullest.
So much so that V and Jackie barely had a chance to do anything except occasionally help close a surveillance black eye.
"If he knows so much about the building, who is he?"
The two were completely dumbfounded.
They were even more convinced of Alex's abilities.
It could be said that the three of them reached the elevator leading to the parking lot with little effort.
At this point, Alex couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason he chose to sneak all the way over was mainly to avoid awakening the mech in the building's hall.
God knows how powerful that thing was in this real world.
The three of them were still mortal.
They definitely couldn't withstand a few rounds of large-caliber mech fire.
"Hahaha, Alex, you're amazing! We'll be able to get out soon," Jackie said excitedly, holding the Relic.
While checking the rifle in his hand, Alex said, "Don't let your guard down; it won't be so easy with the guards in the garage later."
According to his past experience, the guards in the underground garage couldn't be stealthily assassinated.
That is to say, the three of them were about to face a head-on confrontation.
