Chapter 454 67. Learn from Me

Knowing that someone wants to provoke a fight between Arasaka and Militech by targeting Kurt Hansen, what should be done to prevent this from happening?
The answer is, find Kurt Hansen.

No matter what the purpose of the group of people carrying the unidentified equipment of the Terrorist Mobile Team is, there is one thing they cannot avoid, and that is Kurt Hansen.

Kurt Hansen is the person they want to deal with, so why not just talk to Kurt Hansen about this matter.

This sounds like a very simple thing, but it is certainly not that easy to do.

Who is Kurt Hansen? He is the king of Dogtown, the man who tore off a piece of flesh and blood in a corner of Night City to build his own private kingdom. If any street kid runs up to him and tells him that he is in danger and someone is going to attack him, he will probably just laugh and “kindly” send the idiot out. As for where he will be sent, that depends on whether Kurt Hansen is really amused by the clown.

Of course, that was the case with the street kid.

Kurt Hansen still maintained a certain degree of respect for KK’s visit.

During the previous contact, KK’s performance obviously left a deep impression on Kurt Hansen. For a person of this level, no matter what he has to say, he always has to listen, not to mention what he said when he made an appointment to meet before the meeting.

“This concerns your life, Kurt Hansen. If you are interested, you’d better listen. If you are worried about me coming, you can ask everyone to watch over you.”

After hearing what KK said, Kurt Hansen naturally couldn’t make a big fuss and prepare a large number of people around him to protect himself. However, he didn’t give KK many places and only allowed KK to bring two people.

The meeting place was not Kurt Hansen’s old lair. The Baoshiqing Building was a good place, but if you meet someone in your own territory every time, it would be too disrespectful.

Although Kurt Hansen didn’t care much about face, he was after all a former colonel of the New America who had fought his way through gunfire and hail of bullets, so he still had some courage. Moreover, in his opinion, even if it was KK, with only two people, it would be a pipe dream to capture him without him even being able to escape.

The appointment was made at a small street restaurant. The owner of the restaurant had already been sent away by the Nether Dogs with some money, and the other houses around were also controlled by the Nether Dogs. Under such circumstances, KK arrived at the agreed time.

To Kurt Hansen, the people KK brought with him this time looked unfamiliar, a burly man and a woman with glasses and fluffy blonde hair, completely different from the KK players he had seen the last time they met.

However, after looking at it for a while, Kurt Hansen quickly identified who the strong man was through the database accessed in the prosthetic eye.

Mann, a former New United States Warrant Officer and current Night City mercenary, leads a well-known mercenary team in Night City, with a completion rate of over 90% for missions.
Former new US Warrant Officer?

Kurt Hansen, a former New American colonel, looked at Mann a few more times.

According to his information, he retired during the Unification War, which is about the same time as he left the New America.

However, Kurt Hansen did not find any information about the other woman with fluffy blonde hair and glasses in the database.

As his eyes swept over the face, Kurt Hansen already had some guesses in his mind.

Is it some latest military technology that can change one’s appearance?
Kurt Hansen had already guessed some of the reasons why KK and his friends came this time.

This speculation was confirmed by Kurt Hansen after KK sat down and told him his purpose.

“The former military technology guy is planning to attack me, and the country is going to protect me?” Kurt Hansen was indeed amused. “Listen, it feels kind of ironic. Aren’t I a traitor in their eyes? How come now that they have the opportunity to get rid of a traitor like me, they are rushing to ask you to protect me?”

Kurt Hansen’s words were obviously directed at Carl, but Carl’s attitude was very calm:
“To be precise, the mission is not to protect you. We just need to get rid of those people and make sure they fail. However, your safety is crucial if you want to avoid failure in this mission, so I think it’s better to talk to you so that you can learn how to protect yourself.”

Carl stared at Kurt Hansen’s face: “After all, if my life fails because of others, I will always be a little frustrated.”

“Listen to what you said, KK, don’t you think I can protect myself, even though I have received your reminder?”

Listening to Carl’s words, Kurt Hansen really felt something strange this time. It had always been others who stood in front of him and worried about their lives. This was the first time he stood in front of others and had them worry about their lives.

“I didn’t say that, but if you want to think that, that’s right.”

Carl said with a hint of meaning: “It is easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.”

Kurt Hansen is naturally a very capable person. Even if Carl wants to take him down head-on, he will have to spend some effort. However, it is obvious that both sides are well prepared. If Carl is given the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, then the only time Kurt Hansen can survive in front of Carl is because Carl is generous enough to give Kurt Hansen time to prepare for death.

And this is the current situation. If the elite soldiers of Military Technology attack Kurt Hansen head-on, it will not be a big problem. But if they plan to do something with the dangerous equipment they got from the Terrorist Mobile Team, it will be hard to say.

Moreover, some people within New America and Military Technology want to promote their own people from among Kurt Hansen’s subordinates to control Dogtown after Kurt Hansen’s death. It is hard to say who are the trustworthy people around Kurt Hansen now.

Kurt Hansen restrained his smile.

Obviously, he knew more about this matter than Carl, but before that, he had to confirm KK’s true attitude first.
“I think we can talk.”

Kurt Hansen stared at Carl: “I think KK, you shouldn’t mind a protection commission that can earn you a little extra money.”

A protection commission that allows you to earn extra money at the same time?
Hearing this, Karl’s expression finally changed.

He smiled.

A smile that is well-known in the city’s dark dream circles.

“of course.”

Carl said this.

This is not just earning one more share, but earning three shares at once.

“As expected, V and the others need to learn from me when it comes to business talks.”
