Chapter 81 - 80: More Money Is Needed!
To put it nicely, this was nothing more than a mutually beneficial exchange.
Arthur, however, had no desire to get involved in this matter. If he did, it would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention from certain powerful individuals. The risks far outweighed the benefits, and for a mere profit from a chip, there was no reason to take such a gamble.
"I'm just joking. The Internet Monitoring Company is famous. It's just a few hackers who don't know their limits. You just need to pick up your magic wand and cast the Unforgivable Curse on them. Isn't that the end of it?"
Arthur's casual remark made the Animal Gang's boss fall silent for a moment. He chose not to respond. Instead, from a small room next door, a man with a body that showed a high level of cybernetic transformation stepped out.
He sat beside the Animal Gang boss and spoke in a calm, measured tone.
"As a cyberpunk relic, you should understand that we focus more on defense. Those bastards are like cockroaches in Night City. If you crush them in one place, they just crawl out from another. I need someone to get something inside for me—only then can I wipe them out completely."
The reasoning was simple. If this were a direct fight, even a hundred Voodoo Gangs wouldn't stand a chance against the Internet Monitoring Company.
These companies had been around for so long and had even resolved the initial network collapse incident left behind by the so-called God of the Internet. They didn't survive just because they had some skills—they had extraordinary capabilities.
But the Voodoo Gang wasn't stupid either. They knew better than to engage in a head-on battle.
Instead, their strategy was hit-and-run. It was like tunneling through the Black Wall—if they were discovered, they would log off immediately and disappear. Then, when the opportunity arose, they'd return to dig again.
This cycle had forced the Internet Monitoring Company to create a special task force to deal with the Voodoo Gang's sabotage. But even that wasn't enough.
