Chapter 59 - 18: New Players Logging In
3W
For a mercenary squad like Mann’s, this number isn’t particularly high. He’s taken on higher-paying jobs before, but those often involve stealing corporate secrets or assassinating executives.
Offending the Night Wanderers... the risk is not even on the same level.
For instance, this time Falcon is letting Mann and his team steal technical data from Zeta Technology’s building, and the commission is only 2W. Of course, the middleman himself takes at least five times that amount as commission.
If stealing data or hijacking transporters from major companies is like committing crimes under the watchful eyes of an armed military, any mistake could lead to death.
Fight the Night Wanderers?
It’s almost like kicking a stray dog on the street. Although this stray dog is certainly fierce and their numbers are overwhelming, Mann would surely be overwhelmed if it came to a fight. However, as long as he doesn’t leave Night City, they can’t do anything to Mann. After some time, they’ll probably forget about it themselves.
Even if they enter the city, on other gangs’ turf, second-rate groups like the Night Wanderers wouldn’t dare act too brazenly. If they come with fewer people, they are just asking for trouble.
But this guy actually called in Adcardo, indicating it’s no small matter. Mann doesn’t want to lead his team into a trap just for some money.
