At the same time, the city government is also actively preparing for the mayor's funeral to pay the final tribute to this outstanding leader. '

"Ding."

Accompanied by the sound of the TV being turned off, the recording video of the news was turned off.

"There's nothing good to watch on TV here, Carl? Don't you watch TV? The news you recorded is all from more than a month ago."

The world-famous rock star, Clio Rodion, was lying on the sofa on the first floor of the double-story flat where Carl's team lived, complaining to Carl who was cooking in the kitchen in the distance: "And why haven't V and the others come back yet? Didn't we agree to come over for Christmas? Who are the guests?"

"Wait a little, Clio."

Carl didn't mind his friend's complaints. After all, although the other party was complaining, he was the first one to come to the party. Carl was always tolerant of friends who gave face and arrived early.

"There will be quite a few people coming today."

"Quite a few people, are they all your friends in the mercenary world? Are all those mercenaries as powerful as you and Brown?"

"Well, that's it."

Carl was thinking about how to explain, and Brown, who was helping to organize the dishes, turned around and said, "Chris, I can't be compared with Carl. Carl is now the most powerful mercenary in Night City. Your comparison has put me on a high position and I can't get down from it."

"Is that so? I feel that you are the most powerful mercenary I have ever seen, Brown. Remember the trip to Italy, when a fanatical fan wanted to pull Let's go to hell together and be a pair of lovebirds who live and die together. You took care of her in no time and controlled her there so that she couldn't move. I feel that the former Rogge was no more than this. "

"If it was Carl, he would have subdued her when she had this idea. My speed is far inferior to Carl's."

"They are complimenting each other."

Carl complained speechlessly. Now there are only three of them and T-BUG who is dressing up upstairs in the apartment. The other members of Carl's team and Brown's team are either going to buy things or helping to pick up people. The three grown men on the first floor have nothing to do and are just talking nonsense.

Carl has always been lazy, but the people who came are friends and guests, so it's not easy to ask them to help. As a result, he has been busy for a whole morning. Now he has only done some preliminary processing of the food, and he doesn't know when the rest of the people will arrive.

Just when he was thinking about this, the floor display of the elevator began to jump, attracting Kerry's attention.

"It seems someone else is coming. They are so slow."

"The agreed time is in the evening. You are too early, Kerry."

Carl complained, watching the elevator arrive. Just as he opened the elevator door, before he had time to see the situation inside, a lively voice came out of it.

"Hello, we are here."

Rebecca and others from Mann's team arrived.

"Hey, you are all here."

Carl nodded to them and was about to ask Mann to come over to help, but found that their number seemed to be wrong.

"Lucy, where is David?"

"The elevator can't accommodate so many people, the next batch."

Sasha explained to Carl with a smile, while Rebecca next to her noticed Kerry sitting on the sofa.

"This person looks so familiar, my God, he can't be Kerry, Kerry Orodion, I have heard his songs."

"Hello, little girl."

Kerry turned around and nodded to greet Rebecca, and when they saw his appearance, everyone in the Mann team who arrived was stunned except Mann.

"Is it really him?"

"Rebecca, have you forgotten Brown's current mission?"

Mann, who knew something in advance, was not surprised. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Carl at the first time:

"Do you need help, Carl? You don't seem to be able to handle it alone."

"I was just planning to call you."

The kitchen has a transparent compartment to prevent oil from spilling, which can easily accommodate four or five strong men. Seeing Mann coming to help, Carl also instructed him to go to the side to help cut vegetables.

"I'll help too."

While the younger people in the team were still making a fuss, Dolio, the older sister in the team, also came to help cook.

"Then you have to deal with the chicken here."

Carl pushed away the position and let Dolio take charge of this side. When Dolio came over, she found something unusual.

"All fresh vegetables and real meat. You guys must have spent a lot of money this time, Carl."

"Fortunately, I spent money on vegetables, but not on meat, thanks to someone's sponsorship."

After Carl said something that Dolio didn't quite understand, he watched the elevator arrive, and then David and Lucy, who were in their real appearance, came out.

"I'm here, Carl."

David looked around: "Why don't I see Brother Oliver and the others?"

"I went to pick them up, and they'll be here soon."

Carl said: "I heard that you've also made a name for yourself in the city these days, and now you're also a famous mercenary. How's it going?"

"Compared to Carl and Brother Oliver, you're still far behind, Kerry, Kerry Rodion!"

As David was talking, his attention was also drawn to Kerry. As a world-famous rock star, Kerry is definitely the most famous person in the room now. No wonder the Mann team, except for Mann who knew something in advance, were all shocked.

"Hey, nice to meet you, young man."

Watching Kerry greet David as if he were at a fan meeting, Carl felt that although Kerry didn't have much common sense about mercenaries, he was really familiar with dealing with similar fan meetings.

He is indeed a world-class superstar.

However, Carl saw that Kerry was amused by Rebecca after just a few words and smiled, and felt that Kerry was much better than other stars.

Compared with ordinary stars, Kerry was more like a person with a star status.
