Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest
Chapter 22 The plot begins to accelerate
As for the club's affairs, it was just as Wu Guang expected. The frequency of the Tiger Claw Gang causing trouble did not decrease with the passage of time. Instead, it became more and more serious.
In the beginning, they just played around without paying, but now it has become even worse. The protection fee that was originally collected once a month is now always being made difficult.
The most frustrating thing is that the employees left without saying goodbye.
Even though the boss lady Elizabeth was very fair to her subordinates, she had a very good reputation in the neighborhood and was even coveted by many prostitutes.
But this could not stop the increasingly frequent harassment from this group of people.
Inside the bar, Elizabeth sat at the counter, her face full of sorrow.
In just three months, the company's performance dropped by 80%. First, the number of customers gradually decreased, and finally, the employees were afraid to go to work.
Then there was the bullying from the bastards of the Tiger Claw Gang. We had received the required protection fees by next year, but they were still not satisfied and continued to come and harass us every day.
I don't know what's wrong with these people.
"Sister, if we really don't work out, let's just fight these bastards." A woman with slightly dark skin was filled with righteous indignation. If Wu Guang was present, he might be able to recognize that this person was the later owner of Lizzie Bar.
"Susie, we are here to do business. If we get involved in gang affairs, our shop will be finished." Elizabeth rubbed her brows. At this moment, she felt more exhausted than ever.
She really couldn't understand what these people wanted, money? Women? Or a place?
Money, she gave all the money she earned over the years, women? Women were the most abundant thing here, but the other party did not ask for anything, and she even hinted several times that if he wanted her, it was not impossible as long as he stopped making trouble.
As a result, this group of people continued to do as they pleased, as if they regarded this place as a place to vent, and they vented all their dirty thoughts here.
And the facts were just as Elizabeth thought.
Maybe at the beginning a few members of the Tiger Claw Gang wanted to seek justice for their brothers who died in gang fights. Although there was no solid evidence pointing to the club betraying them, the gang didn't care about evidence and would think it was you, even if you cleared yourself of all charges.
The result is an outlet for the weak and vulnerable.
It was at this time that Wu Guang came to the club. He looked at this lonely club and saw that it was declining over the past three months.
"You're here?" Mira, the receptionist, was sitting at the table bored. When she saw Wu Guang, she also looked listless.
"The Tiger Claw Gang came again yesterday?"
"Yes, these guys have become lawless. The sisters are afraid to go to work. Look, there is no business." Mira was also very angry at the moment.
It is really difficult to find a stable job in Night City where you won't be bullied.
"Little brother Wu Guang, are you guys still short of people? Do you think I can help you?" Mira began to promote herself.
"Is it already so serious?" Wu Guang frowned.
Mira nodded: "It's more than serious. If I don't leave now, I will be dragged away by those guys and played to death. A few days ago, a sister was dragged away by them, and guess what happened when she came back?"
Before Wu Guang could ask, the other party said it himself.
"The sisters' prosthetic bodies are gone! Can you believe this? They came back with a human stick. Oh my god! What's the difference between this and the gang of thugs?"
"Hiss, what on earth do they want to do?" Wu Guang frowned after hearing this. It has only been three months, and he thought the situation had not deteriorated too seriously. He did not expect it to be so outrageous.
"Who knows! If Sister Elizabeth hadn't persuaded me to stay, I would have skipped work. The danger of working here is no less than that of participating in a gang fight." Mira shook her head.
Wu Guang said nothing more and strode inside.
As a result, I saw the conversation between Elizabeth and Susie.
The result was naturally that Susie left in anger.
"You're here?" Elizabeth looked tired, but she still forced a smile at Wu Guang.
Wu Guang shook his head when he saw the other party's expression: "Why don't you agree with Susie's proposal? Why don't you just do it? Although the crime rate is very high now, there is still order."
Elizabeth shook her head. "Order is something only the rich can enjoy. For people like us who are in the flesh trade, order is not on our side. And if we resist, we will be purged by the Tiger Claw Gang. How many clubs have been destroyed just like that?"
Wu Guang listened and nodded. Indeed, as far as he knew, many bars and clubs did not follow the Tiger Claw Gang and disappeared as a result.
It can be said to be very miserable. In a sense, Elizabeth is right. After all, this is the reality of Night City.
Wu Guang originally wanted to wait and see what happened, and then contribute to the post-disaster reconstruction so that he could have a place in the community. But obviously his idea was good, but the reality is often not as perfect as one might think.
During these three months of getting along, Wu Guang has developed some feelings for this place. These people are all living at the bottom of society and they have no choice. If they had a choice, who would be willing to engage in the flesh trade?
"What if this happens? How can this club continue to exist?" Wu Guang raised the question.
And Elizabeth was silent.
They have reached the edge of the cliff. If they go back, they will be facing the Tiger Claw Gang, a group of ruthless guys. If they continue forward, they will only face death.
Elizabeth's life savings and inheritance will also disappear.
"Do you want this to happen?" Wu Guang asked again.
However, the answer was Elizabeth guzzling wine, but no amount of alcohol could make her feel relaxed or numb at the moment.
boom!
"What do you know? You're just a child!" Elizabeth said angrily, "Why would I want to do this? Although this club is not something that can be put on the table, it is also my savings and the result of my hard work for half my life.
I worked hard from being a prostitute to becoming a boss. I thought I could enjoy my old age in peace, but in the end, it was ruined by these bastards. Soon...soon my shop will be gone, and I will be reduced to my original state..."
At the end, Elizabeth Borden also lay on the counter, sobbing silently.
At the same time outside the door.
Two women supported a man who was covered in bruises, had one leg missing, and whose face was unrecognizable, into the club.
"Mira, come and help."
Mira, who was standing at the counter, couldn't recognize for a moment who the person whose face was beaten beyond recognition was.
"You two weren't yesterday...she...was Lizzie? Didn't she skip work a long time ago?"
"We found her next to a container. She said that she cursed those guys and then..." The other woman shook her head and sighed.
At this moment, Susie stood directly in front of the two of them. When she saw Lizzie's appearance, anger suddenly burned in her heart.
"Damn, these bastards! No wonder I haven't contacted Lizzie these days. It seems that she was kidnapped and tortured by these guys! Where are those bastards?"
The two girls looked at each other and sent Suzy a location.
Then Susie came to the counter, took out a kinetic spray gun from the drawer, and left without saying a word.
When several people saw this, Mira went up and pulled the other party: "Sister Su Xi, are you going to fight to the death? Are you crazy!"
"I'm not going to kill these people who planted them today!"
