Although Horizon Corporation had contacted this batch of unemployed cops, Reaver heard the workplace was not in the city but outside in the Stone Ridge Mountain and Big Sur areas, so he didn't agree to apply. After all, he had a nephew to take care of. If he went, who knows if the orphan and widow might be bullied by thugs.
Later, he heard that the company had a fierce fight with the Night Wanderers, and many people died. Reaver mourned for them in his heart; that company had good people, and their deaths were not worth it.
It turned out that, by a twist of fate, Horizon Corporation grew bigger and moved into Taiping Continent with great fanfare, once again sending him an offer. This ti, economic distress left Reaver with no reason to refuse, so he readily accepted.
Reaver just never expected that the NCPD veteran mbers, once accused of being corrupt cops, now seed too clean and soft-hearted in the security force Horizon Corporation ford.
"Captain, we seem to be moving in without a search warrant. This could cause large-scale chaos. Those thugs might open fire at any mont…"
Reaver also had experiences of solo investigations, but never barged into soone's bar so blatantly before — that was courting death.
Do they really think the Night City gangs don't dare kill cops?
Sweat dripped from his forehead, the red prosthetic eye constantly scanning the surrounding bar thugs slowly closing in on them, his hand unconsciously resting on the handle of the gun at his waist.
But the cop leading the team was unhurried.
"Hey, we're not here to make trouble. Which law in Night City says cops can't enter a bar just to use the restroom?"
The cop, changing his previously casual attire, was sharply dressed in a neat suit, flaunting slicked-back hair and a neat appearance, even wearing silver-frad glasses, looking refined.
According to him, now that he had an official position in the ga, he couldn't be as casual as before.
Although he still wanted to go to work when he felt like it and go offline when he wanted, moving freely where ever he wished, Lin Miao could not control the players' freedom.
Even this captain position was given by Lin Miao due to his real-life status.
As for a search warrant?
Players not kicking down your door and ransacking your house is giving you face.
The team leader's nonchalant expression made the forr NCPD detectives look uneasy.
"Officer, may I ask why you're here?"
The bar owner held back his n, warning them not to act rashly, and greeted these uninvited guests with a bright smile, blinked, and feigned ignorance.
"Or are you here to relax? No problem, I'll arrange it right away…"
The officers clearly underestimated Horizon Corporation's recent reputation in Night City's gray areas. When these lethal entities speak nicely to you, you'd better not get any funny ideas, or you'd end up dead in a very unpleasant way.
"Relaxing is unnecessary."
Born in Kowloon, the cop knew better than the NCPD officers what the gangs were like; they were used to bowing down, like the cops in xico, had never felt the power of a centralized governnt's iron fist, and were still weak.
Just a bunch of capital toilets. Do they really think they matter?
He smiled, took out two photos from his pocket, and placed them in front of the bar owner.
"I heard two guests ca here. I'd like to et them. Could you introduce ?"
Kaud glanced at the photos and imdiately recognized them.
This is trouble; they are here looking for issues.
He signaled to his n to disperse the surrounding onlookers and took a wad of cash from his waist pouch, hiding it in his palm.
"Officer, we run an honest business here; we can't just casually disclose custor information. If word gets out, I won't be able to do business. Please do a favor."
"Is that so?"
Seeing the gesture, the cop smiled gently and extended his hand as if preparing for a handshake.
"Then it's really unfortunate."
"No problem."
Kaud also extended his hand, thinking this would be settled with money, but unexpectedly, the cop's hand, like magic, quickly pressed the gun on Kaud's waist, swiftly removed the magazine, engaged him in a brief push and pull, and within two seconds, the cop stepped back, rapidly drew another gun and aid it at Kaud's head, saying with a shocked expression.
"What are you doing?"
"Assaulting an officer?"
"Attempting to snatch a gun?"
"Do you believe I can shoot you dead right now without even writing a report?"
???
The cop's quick action left the NCPD officers dumbfounded. They usually only bullied civilians or low-level thugs, never daring to speak like this to the local big shots.
Even Kaud was stunned holding an unloaded gun.
When he ca to his senses, his face flushed like a tomato, wishing he could shoot the shaless GZZ in front of him.
But…
He knew if he really fired, even the king of heaven couldn't save him or his bar.
Could he bear it?
Of course not.
The higher you climb, the more you cherish life and wealth. Given any chance, people like them would prefer to survive.
If you're as mighty as Du Yuesheng, would you dare not sweep the streets when asked?
Kaud gritted his teeth.
Fine… You're great.
We'll see about that...
Thinking this, his hand obediently returned the gun to the cop.
"A misunderstanding, officer, just a misunderstanding, I'll take you over imdiately."
"Eh, cooperating well makes you a good comrade. You won't be treated poorly in the future."
Damn!
Kaud looked at the harmonious cop, as if everything earlier was an illusion, unable to voice the curses.
With no choice but to sullenly instruct his n to keep an eye on the place, he led the cop and the officers inside.
