Cyberpunk:Gained a body of steel

Sensing David and Jack's strange stares, Peter turned to look at them.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?"

"Nothing."

"It's okay, no problem."

David and Jack responded, both of them clearly deciding not to provoke Peter, and they turned to look out the window.

"I said, Peter, I asked you to steal some data, not to take over someone else's stronghold," Okada Wakako said, giving Peter a flat look. Her expression made it seem as though Peter had just scavenged a garbage dump, not taken over a Tiger Claw Gang stronghold.

"He Gezi, I didn't want to do that either. One of our new team members was discovered. Otherwise, the Tiger Claw Gang's stronghold would have been fine," Peter replied with a mischievous grin.

Seeing Peter's nonchalant attitude, Okada and Kako were so frustrated they could feel their teeth aching.

Why was it that when Peter worked for other intermediaries, everything went smoothly, but when he came here, he made such a huge mess?

"Forget it, I'll pay you your reward now."

"Thanks, and remember to find me again next time you have a job, Obasan," Peter said, flashing a smile before walking out.

Only Okada Wakako, with black lines all over her face, was left standing there.

Ding!

"Moses, it's Okada Wakako. Who's this?"

Okada Wakako answered the phone.

"Okada! I know it's the mercenaries you hired! Tell me who they are! If you dare mess with our Tiger Claw, make sure you make them pay!"

On the other end of the phone, a bald man's furious voice came through.

He had just received a call from his son, who said that their stronghold had been taken over by a few mercenaries, and they had blackmailed him for 300,000 euros.

Upon hearing this, Miyagawa Iris became so enraged that he was practically at risk of a heart attack. No mercenaries had dared to offend the Tiger Claw Gang like this in Night City for many years.

Most of their strongholds were destroyed due to direct battles with rival gangs, but the situation where three or four mercenaries had taken control like today had never happened.

This was a direct blow to the Tiger Claw Gang's reputation, making it seem as if they were nothing more than a paper tiger, and even mercenaries could take over their strongholds. Not only was Miyagawa Iris furious, but so was another big boss in the gang, Xiaopu Weixin.

The two gang leaders were determined to drive Peter and his mercenaries out of their stronghold. Otherwise, the face of the Tiger Claw Gang would be completely tarnished.

After searching around, Miyagawa Iris discovered that Okada Wakako had initiated the commission, so he called her for an explanation.

"Look at what you're saying, I would never entrust mercenaries to destroy your stronghold. This has nothing to do with me, just hang up already," Okada Wakako responded, and without waiting for a reply, she hung up the phone.

To be honest, while she was also angry at Peter and his group for destroying the Tiger Claw Gang's stronghold, she knew it wasn't her fault. However, Miyagawa Iris had managed to trace the commission back to her.

"Looks like there's a rat around me," Okada Wakako muttered to herself, narrowing her eyes slightly as she glanced outside her office.

"Ugh! Uh! David, get up and join in! Don't sit there like a statue!"

Jack stood in the middle of the dance floor, dancing with a hot girl next to him and shouting.

David, on the other hand, sat in a booth, feeling a bit out of place, unsure where to hide his awkwardness. He could only sip on beer, which he didn't even like, one sip at a time.

Meanwhile, Peter had already gone to Judy's studio to record today's Chaomeng session.

"Peter, did you go to the Chaomeng game studio yesterday?" Judy asked, looking at Peter, who had just finished recording Mewtwo.

"Yeah, I perfected that Mewtwo game and bought the studio for a small amount of money," Peter replied casually.

Peter didn't deny it. After all, things like this couldn't be hidden for long.

"Peter, you did this a little too quickly, didn't you? You just finished the complete version of that semi-finished Mewtwo game for them?" Judy asked, a little surprised.

"It's okay, I know a little about programming," Peter replied, his tone almost as if he were downplaying his abilities.

Judy was left speechless. Could something like this really be done with just "a little" programming?

Even though Judy was a talented Chaomeng expert, she knew it would take her at least two or three months to make any headway on the semi-finished Chaomeng game. It would require someone else's help to get it done.

Yet, Peter had somehow managed to come up with the completed game in just a week.

That morning, the game studio Peter had renamed Beyond Game Studio had already begun selling the Chaomeng game APEX to the public.

As a Chaomeng expert, Judy naturally bought a copy. After playing it, she realized that this game was the same one Peter had worked on a week ago.

After making a quick call and confirming with Philip, the chief designer at Beyond Game Studio, Judy learned that Peter had actually completed the semi-finished Mewtwo game.

"You really hid this well. Why don't you come over and show me how to edit this super dream?" Judy said, teasing Peter as she pulled out a more difficult-to-edit Chaomeng and placed it on the table.

"Okay, let me take a look, but it might not be as good as your cut," Peter said with a grin, moving over to stand next to Judy.

A few minutes later, under Judy's astonished gaze, Peter had completed the difficult-to-edit Chaomeng.

"Damn, if you came to cut Mewtwo, you'd definitely be more popular than Jimmy Kurosaki," Judy said, staring at the perfectly edited Chaomeng in front of her.

She couldn't help but sigh. How could someone have such outrageous talent?
