Chapter 197: The Golden Scale Was Originally a Pond Thing, When Will It Transform into a Dragon?

Mr. Hands realized there was no danger and acted interested. Ling Luxian had been active around the city center and seldom came to Taiping Island often.

Therefore, Mr. Hands was not familiar with Ling Luxian. He had only hired him a few times. Judging from his efficiency, Mr. Hands was quite satisfied.

He likes mercenaries who are efficient and won't cause trouble.

Moreover, Ling Luxian's name is quite famous in Night City, and he is even listed as one of the top ten lone wolves of the new era. This is of real value.

You have to know that other lone wolves are more or less in collusion with the company. Ling Luxian is the only one who is not, which is a rarity among the top ten lone wolves.

He will do any job as long as there is work, no matter what company it is, as long as you can pay the price.

He doesn't lick the company's stinky feet and even causes a stir, so companies like to assign him tasks. Isn't that strange?

As for why he was rated as one of the top ten lone wolves, since he has his own mercenary group?

Don't be ridiculous. Although his mercenaries are all top players in Night City, their level is still far behind his. This terrifying dominance is of a fault nature.

There is a saying that his team members are top mercenaries just because they are affiliated with him.

This statement is undoubtedly nonsense in Mr. Hands's opinion. Their strength, even in the eyes of the picky Mr. Hands, can be ranked T1.

Now this ruthless man came to him without contacting him, which made Mr. Hands very curious. What on earth was it that made him come all the way here?

And the little girl next to him, Mr. Hands could tell at a glance that the little girl was not a person who would keep quiet. From the information, we could also learn that this little girl's fighting style was extremely fierce.

Under Ling Luxian's command, they can be as obedient as quails, which also shows Ling Luxian's control over the mercenary team.

Ling Luxian knocked on the table and said, "First, I need a few ID cards that allow me to enter and exit Dog Town at will."

Mr. Hands narrowed his eyes, not knowing what Ling Luxian's intention was.

Although Dog Town is a paradise for smuggling, Ling Luxian is not one of those people. For him, coming to Dog Town is not necessary.

It would be even funnier if he said he was here to take on commissions from Dogtown. Night City isn't big, but it's not small either, so he can take any commissions he wants. Dogtown wouldn't have such a big charm to attract him.

Why is this? We need to ponder the deeper meaning behind this.

"No problem. I still have some reputation in Dog Town, so I can still get a few ID cards."

Mr. Hands had a smile on his face, but you couldn't tell any emotion from it; it was just a professional smile.

Perhaps only in front of family members can the true side be revealed.

"But I'm curious, what do you want an ID card for? You don't look like a frequent visitor to Dogtown," asked Mr. Hands.

Ling Luxian really didn't like Dog Town, the atmosphere here was too "free". Although there were good things to be found here, for Ling Luxian, they were all things that were easily accessible.

But there is an old saying that goes, you can do without it, but you can't live without it.

It is because of the mixed crowds here that we can collect some information that is difficult for ordinary people to collect.

Ling Luxian had another reason to come here: the new American Black Hawk was about to fall.

If he could seize this opportunity, he could eat as much as he wanted, even until he was full.

It would be great if we could do something to Miles.

Ling Luxian glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "There are some things I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that Dog Town is going to change."

Mr. Hands was startled. Is it so easy for Dog Town to change? If so, it would be great.

Mr. Hands had long been tired of being just a middleman, and he had long wanted to go further.

As a middleman, Mr. Hands seems to be able to call the shots in Dog Town, but in fact he is the master of Dog Town, and Kurt Hansen does not take him seriously.

A real man cannot stay under someone else for long. Mr. Hands also has ambitions to fight for the position of the king of this dog town. Now he has the way, what he lacks is an opportunity.

It can be said that the establishment of Dog Town was entirely due to Kurt Hansen. His control over Dog Town was so strong that Mr. Hands could not find any opportunities.

Judging from Ling Luxian's tone, this opportunity seemed to be coming soon.

It doesn't matter whether he thinks it is what he wants, what matters is that he has to do it. If he doesn't go to the gambling table, he won't lose, but he won't win either. If he wants to win, he can only gamble.

"Is that so? Well, I won't ask you any more questions. What else do you have to do? I don't believe you came all this way just for a few ID cards."

"Gou Town is a mixed bag, with quite a few agents mixed in. There are agents from New America, Su Petrochemical, and Europe." Ling Luxian said in a complicated tone, "Mr. Hands, as the local boss here, I'm sure he can collect some information, right? I hope Mr. Hands can help me keep an eye out for this intelligence."

Mr. Hands nodded to show his understanding. He knew that Ling Luxian's work often required him to face various dangerous situations, and the accuracy of the information was crucial.

This target group is interesting though, as they are all agents from major companies. I guess Ling Luxian is planning something big.

"No problem, I'll prepare the best for you." Mr. Hands assured, pounding his cane.

Ling Luxian nodded slightly, "Thank you very much, Mr. Hands. In addition, I hope you can start collecting as soon as possible, maybe it will be helpful to you, sir."

"I understand. Time is running out..." Mr. Hands' eyes flickered. "I'll arrange for someone to pay attention to it as soon as possible."

"By the way, let me remind you that these people are very sensitive. I hope your people can be more cautious."

"Your Excellency need not be concerned about such matters," said Mr. Hands.

The old fox is very tight-lipped. Ling Luxian has said so much but he doesn't even know how to talk about the information he has. He wants to get something for nothing.

Knowing that they would not be able to get much out of Mr. Hands, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Ling Luxian took Rebecca and left Mr. Hands' office.

Mr. Hands looked at their departing figures, thinking. He sensed that a storm was coming, and he had to be fully prepared. As for whether it was an opportunity, he had to seize it first.

He had been waiting in this position for several years. When he learned that the company was going to develop Taiping Island, he was ready.

Unexpectedly, the new United States came with its army and destroyed everything. Some companies left, some fled, and the big companies that were not afraid of the new United States also saw that things were hopeless and evacuated the Pacific Ocean.

When Hansen built Dog Town, it was not prosperous, but it had its own unique flavor. Unfortunately, Kurt Hansen was not a pushover, and Mr. Hands would never be able to make a name for himself as long as he was around.

At his age, he didn't want to wait any longer, nor did he have the time to wait. He knew that he had to seize this opportunity, even if it meant risking his life.

It’s not for anything else, I just can’t swallow this!
