Chapter 746 The Hard Gang
Since Guest City is a truly lawless place, many criminals who are wanted in other places and cannot survive will come here. It can be called a gathering place for scum in the void.
Apart from anything else, its biggest problem is that it is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
Even a well-connected bounty hunter with great hands and eyes is unlikely to catch someone here. Killing someone is relatively easier, after all, no one is taking care of it when there is a fire on the street.
It is even more difficult for ordinary people to go out.
After all, the people who come to this hellish place are usually pirates, smugglers, arms dealers or contraband dealers, etc. who use criminal laws to make money. If you take a ride on their ship, what do you think is the probability of arriving safely in other galaxies or colonies with good security? How about high?
Among the people who come to Star City, the ones who are relatively private are the recyclers, but don’t think that the recyclers are all good people.
Recyclers are positioned between mercenaries and pirates, like hunting dogs that gather wherever they smell meat.
If An Yun got on the ship of a recycler and met someone with some conscience, he would sell her to the military to earn an intermediary fee. If he met someone with a bad reputation, it would not be strange at all to send her to the red light district of a prosperous city. It might not be too long before the 'rare psykers at your service' gimmick comes along.
This is why it has been two years since Sophia found An Yun, and they are still staying in the cesspool of Guest Star City without getting out.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t get out.
Although Alyssa is also a recycler, since Sophia trusts her, An Yun also feels that she can be trusted, so she is very happy to show her value. She must seize this opportunity.
Alyssa also wanted to understand this. Although being a navigator is a job that relies heavily on experience, the talent of a psyker is enough to make up for all experience requirements.
In addition to Sophia, Alyssa now needs to recruit one or two more commandos, and the manpower is basically enough. The biggest problem...
Sure enough, it's still a boat.
At the very least, there must be a light cruiser or a heavily armored gunboat, and preferably a high-speed destroyer.
But no matter which one it is, it is impossible for Alyssa to afford it with her funds, unless the money from the recycler's account is transferred to her account, who knows how long it will take.
The longer time passed, the more worried she became about what Carlos wanted to do with her starship, and she had to do it as soon as possible.
Then, now is the time when you need financing.
So Alyssa thought about it and said to Sophia: "I want to meet your current boss and discuss a business deal with him."
"He's not an easy talker."
"I know."
Sophia shrugged:
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Those who make it big in Guest Star City are not easy to make money, and Sophia's current boss is the leader of the Hard Gang, the real boss of this lawless city.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Returning from the chaotic slums to the wide and clean avenue, walking along this road to the end, you can see the largest building in the entire guest star city.
It is eighty stories high, with a pair of huge golden horn-like decorations stuck on the top.
This is the headquarters of the Hard Gang.
Sofia works for the Hard Gang in the name of a wrestler. Due to her outstanding performance, she has some friendship with the boss of the Hard Gang.
After speaking to the secretary at the door, the other party told them that the boss was already waiting in the office on the 60th floor.
At first glance, this place looks like a luxurious office building. Of course, that is provided you can ignore the large number of arrogant and armed men, as well as the aboveboard contraband trade here, as well as some unseemly things. .
Everyone got on the elevator and kept their eyes open all the way, pretending they didn't see anything. Fang Lanyin covered her face the whole time and almost hit her head on the elevator door when they got on the elevator.
"You all should be quiet for a moment and try not to interrupt."
Alyssa whispered:
"Based on what I know about Jimmy Hard, the current leader of the Hard Gang, this grandson has a very weird personality. Don't attract any unnecessary attention from him."
"The captain is right. Although he pays me a generous salary, I have to say that this man is the most perverted scum I have ever seen."
Sofia and Alyssa have dealt with Jimmy and know what kind of virtue this grandson has and how many perverted things he has done. An Yun and Fang Lanyin nodded quickly, nodded violently, and just wanted to be transparent later.
The elevator soon reached the 60th floor. When we stepped out of the elevator, there were already several etiquette ladies waiting at the door.
"Is this Captain Alyssa? This way please, the boss is waiting for you in the office."
"You can lead the way."
Some of these hostesses have a mechanized transformation rate of over 60%, some have three legs, and some look like a ball of gel barely forming a human form.
These are Jimi Harder's masterpieces and, in his own words, another form of beauty.
——Fang Lanyin was almost scared to tears.
For a rural girl, the impact of this scene was too great, but seeing everyone else following the etiquette lady, Fang Lanyin hurriedly followed, for fear of being left behind.
Not long after, everyone came to an office, and the etiquette lady made an invitation gesture.
To be honest, Alyssa is also a little nervous. After all, she used to deal with Jimi Hard as a recycler with a starship as a backing, but now she has nothing.
Taking a deep breath quietly, Alyssa opened the door and walked in with her head held high.
The office is spacious and simple, with the main body made of black marble reflecting fine lights. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow people to overlook the entire guest city as soon as they enter.
"Welcome, Miss Alyssa, please take a seat. Would you like some rye whiskey?"
A tiefling with a slicked back hair sat on the sofa with his back to everyone.
The pair of horns on the headquarters building of the Harder Gang is a symbol that the boss is a tiefling. Compared with the demons who only move in the demon domain, the tieflings have a much wider footprint.
"It seems like you're doing well lately."
"That's natural. The batch of goods you sold me last time was a big help."
The tiefling stood up, turned around, and saluted Alyssa as briskly and gracefully as possible.
His skin is not the maroon color of ordinary tieflings, but a whitish beige color, and the completely dark whites of his eyes are dotted with star-blue pupils.
The smooth and slim-fitting little dress made him look less like a gang leader and more like a cowherd selling drinks in a bar.
"Please sit down, it's boring to stand and talk."
There is one thing to remember when dealing with Jimmy Harder.
When he is polite to you, don't be disrespectful, otherwise it may sting a neurotic part of him and cause even greater trouble.
Alyssa walked to the sofa and sat down. Others did not dare to sit, so they all stood in a row behind the sofa.
Jimmy Harder took two steps back with stage-like steps and sat opposite Alyssa.
"Want to try the cigars from the Iris Galaxy? I heard they are still offered as tribute to the royal family."
"Then I won't be polite."
Even though Alyssa doesn’t smoke at all, she can’t refuse Jimmy Harder’s courtesy at this time.
Cut off the end of the cigar and light the cigar with a click of a long match.
"Very good. I like this about you, Miss Alyssa, and you won't be hypocritical. So, do you want to come here in person to discuss business with me?"
"Of course, there's a big deal."
Alyssa exhaled the smoke as smoothly as possible. The next step was the more troublesome part.
