"Jackie, will Alex be okay?"
V frowned as she looked out the window, worry etched in her eyes.
Jackie frowned and shook his head.
When they left, they had clearly seen the legendary figure, Adam Smasher.
And Alex couldn't escape in the car like they did.
If the two of them met sooner...
Recalling the first time they met Alex, he slapped his thigh hard:
"Damn, we pointed a gun at Alex's head."
V bowed her head in shame.
They had just received a communication from T-BUG.
The gist was that T-BUG wanted them to thank Alex for his help.
Because just as she left her hiding spot, it was taken over by the armed guards.
If it hadn't been for Alex's reminder to open Relic's safe and leave immediately, she might have been dead.
Knowing this, Jackie and V were completely convinced of Alex's goodwill toward them.
Reflecting on their experience in the building, they realized how many times Alex had saved them.
Even the 10 million he managed to grab was still lying quietly in Jackie's account.
Ten million!
A villa in North Oak was worth that amount.
How could they doubt his intentions?
Thinking that they almost died in the building and Alex had no news, Jackie opened the car door, ready to get out.
"Damn it, I'm going to find that trash Dexter and settle this!"
V quickly grabbed him: "Jackie! Alex said we should wait for him!"
"Wait for what? We saw it ourselves—it's Smasher! Adam Smasher!"
Jackie clenched his fists tightly.
Anger and remorse almost filled his chest.
Alex believed in them so much, yet they left him alone to face a legendary figure like Smasher.
It was maddening.
At that moment, a look of surprise appeared on V's face.
"Jackie! Get your weapon!"
Jackie was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked back.
He saw a police jeep from the Armed Defense Forces speeding toward them.
"Damn it, didn't we shake them off?" Jackie hurriedly got back into the car and took out his two pistols—the golden ones were quite stylish.
"Screech!"
The jeep braked suddenly and stopped not far from them.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Put the gun down."
A familiar voice called out as Alex got out of the car, raising his hands with a wry smile.
Seeing it was Alex, V and Jackie dropped their guns in surprise.
"Alex! Are you hurt? We'll take you to find the old man now."
"Padre Celestial (Heavenly Father Bless) Good to see you again, boy!"
The two quickly approached Alex, looking him over.
They seemed to want to see if he was injured.
But soon, the observant V noticed something odd.
"Alex, why are you wearing the clothes of the Armed Defense Bureau?"
Alex chuckled: "Sorry, the ones I was wearing were covered in blood, so when I borrowed the car, I picked up a set to wear."
This time, he borrowed the car and got rid of some equipment.
Alex could be considered to be following the customs of Night City.
"Alright, let's leave the car here for now. Let's talk to Dexter DeShawn first."
A sneer appeared on Alex's face.
Dexter DeShawn, Night City's most successful top fixer, or middleman.
He had the widest contacts and the best mercenaries.
This job to steal the Relic was issued to V and Jackie by him.
However, it was this black fat man who claimed to have never fired a single bullet in his life.
In the original story, after learning that V had provoked Arasaka, he turned on V and shot her in the head.
It could be said that half of the reason for the tragic ending of the whole game was because of him!
"Uh... Alex, what's your beef with Dexter?" V asked, looking at Alex suspiciously.
Alex sneered and said, "Beef? You'll find out soon enough."
"Just do as I say..."
...
"Knock knock... knock knock..."
"Let me in!" V knocked heavily on the door of room 204.
"Szz..." The door opened, and Dexter's bodyguard looked around.
"Come in, he's waiting."
V walked into the room with a cold face.
Inside, Dexter frowned and smoked a cigar, not even looking at V.
Instead, he was staring at the news on TV about Saburo Arasaka's death.
"WNS, 54... even the underground network..."
"Everywhere is talking about you!"
"Where's the kid Jackie? Still in the car?" Dexter asked V.
V replied coldly, "You don't care about Jackie's life or death at all, do you?"
Dexter frowned. "You better watch your mouth."
"The back seat of the car, lost too much blood, died..."
Dexter was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Then I'm deeply sorry... Where's my chip?"
V shook her head: "I didn't get it."
"Hey...huh" Dexter took a drag from his cigar, the smoke obscuring his thoughts.
"Arasaka Saburo is dead... Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?"
"You killed the emperor! It's a goddamn god!"
"Anyone connected to this is going to die!"
Hearing Dexter's words, V's anger flared.
"Isn't this the damn job you set up?"
"How did you do your prep work, huh? Didn't you know Saburo Arasaka would be at the building?"
"I can't see his personal itinerary." Dexter said angrily, cigar in hand:
"Besides, who told you to kill that old guy anyway?"
"That's not on us!"
"Damn it! Go talk to those Arasaka ninjas chasing you!"
After the quarrel, silence fell over the room.
After a moment, Dexter seemed to calm down first.
"Alright, calm down first, we need to discuss strategy."
"New place, new identity, but first... your face is all messed up, go wash it."
"The restroom is over there."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in V's eyes.
But she didn't refuse Dexter's request and walked into the bathroom.
Watching the bathroom door close, Dexter's face darkened completely, and he gave his bodyguard a nod.
The bodyguard nodded and quietly approached the bathroom door...
