20demayo Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Arriving at Jack Wells’ home, Jack Wells’ mother”Guadalupe, Alayhandra, Wells.” has been waiting for a long time. Of course, because her name is too long, everyone calls her Mrs. Wells.
This is a gentle and kind woman, and also a respectable mother. It is recognized by the masses that no matter who enters her house, their confession will be listened to, and they can also have a delicious meal. Like all mothers, she is willing to give everything, even her life, to protect her children.
Ali once met her in the game, but that was after Jack Wells died, at his funeral. In short, the atmosphere of the meeting in the game was not very pleasant.
According to Jack Wells, her mother is an important figure in Heywood, and even the most sturdy members of the Valentino gang have to give way to her.
The priest once even said that Mrs. Wells is not only kind-hearted, but also more powerful than all the gang members in this city.
It seems that Mrs. Wells was also an incredible ruthless character when she was young. No wonder she was able to raise a son like Jack Wells who is so tall and has a good character in Night City.
“Jack, who is this little fellow you brought?”
“Fair and tender, looks very pleasant, a bit like your late father.”
Mrs. Wells looked at Ali with a smile. Her family liked to call young people”little guys”, but Ali felt that he was not little at all.
“Hello, Mrs. Wells. My name is Ali.”
“Although Jack and I haven’t known each other for a long time, I can be considered Jack’s… uh… friend.”
Ali introduced himself, but Mrs. Wells recognized the standard school uniform he was wearing. Arasaka, the largest bandit group in Night City, at least Mrs. Wells thought so.
But since it was Jack Wells who brought him, Mrs. Wells naturally believed in her son’s vision. She didn’t give Ali a cold face because of the Arasaka school uniform. Instead, she continued to talk to Ali gently.
Jack went to the room to look for the clothes he wore when he was young. After all, his current clothes were too big and too wide for Ali. Mrs. Wells asked Ali to find a seat at will, and then she went to the inner room to bring out some fruit. Ali entertained the guest.
Of course, these fruits are also the result of technology and hard work, but Mrs. Wells’s background cannot be underestimated since she can afford to eat fruits in Night City.
Ali remembered that after Jack died, the funeral was crowded with many gang members who came to commemorate Jack. Some people came to pay tribute because they were impressed by Jack’s personal charm, but more people came because of Mrs. Wells’s face.
Ali guessed that Mrs. Wells was most likely the middleman who took office in the Heywood area, and the priest succeeded her position later. Of course, this is just a guess.
“Damn, where are my clothes?”
“”Mom, do you know where my old clothes are?”
Jack Wells’ voice came from his room, and Mrs. Wells said unhappily:”The clothes are on the high shelf of the locker, and if you keep using dirty words, I, your mother, will get mad!”
“Thanks, Mom. I was wrong.”
Jack Wells admitted his mistake quickly. Of course, under the command of Mrs. Wells, Jack also quickly came out with the clothes from his youth.
He brought the clothes to Ali, a combat jacket of the same style as his, and a pair of tough jeans:”Try it on, Ali, the clothes I wore when I was young, although they are a little small for me now, they seem to be a little big for you. You can still try them on yourself and hope they fit you.”
Ali didn’t dislike it. He took off his Arasaka school uniform, and under Jack’s guidance, he went to the room to change into Jack’s clothes when he was young. It must be said that it was quite fitting.
After all, Ali’s physique was also very well-proportioned. His height of 1.82 meters was only ten centimeters shorter than Jack Wells. He took off the frivolous Arasaka school uniform and put on the tattered”wasteland” clothes with a cyberpunk flavor. Not only did it not feel out of place, but on the contrary it was very fitting, making Ali look a bit like a bohemian street boy.
After Ali came out of Jack’s room, Jack Wells was dazzled by Ali’s new outfit and exclaimed,”Ali, it’s a pity that you don’t go out on the streets, otherwise you will definitely attract a lot of beautiful girls.”
After changing clothes, Jack Wells took Ali out for dinner. Mrs. Wells also specifically told Jack to be careful when he went out.
After leaving Mrs. Wells’s house, Jack complained to Ali, saying that he would move out when he had money in the future. He said that although his mother was very good, she was too nagging and his ears were almost calloused from listening to her.
Ali didn’t know what to say about this. After all, these were Jack’s own feelings and thoughts. Jack took Ali for more than ten minutes and finally came to the gangster restaurant not far away.
Because it was relatively close, Jack Wells and Ali did not take a car but walked. They were located in the gangster restaurant because the restaurant was Tacos are very popular among nearby gangsters.
The location is in the middle of the dividing line between the Six Street Gang and the Valentino Gang in the Haywood area, so it has become a bit like the Peace Hotel. The gang members tacitly agree not to fight here, but just come here to enjoy the delicious tacos.
What kind of tacos are so popular among the gangsters? Ali didn’t know, and Ali couldn’t taste it. He sat at the table and chairs in the restaurant, leaning against the window and shining the light on the two big men who were waiting for the food.
Jack Wells looked at the young Ali. He didn’t know why Ali, who looked delicate and tender, had such superb marksmanship, especially his hands. As a gunman, How come there aren’t even any calluses?
Ali didn’t care about Jack’s gaze. He drank his tea calmly and enjoyed the cyberpunk technology tea. The good news was that it tasted like tea, but the bad news was that there was neither real tea nor real water in it.
Flavoring, coloring, and some filtered water from sewage, such a pot of tea only costs 2 Euros, which is really good value for money.
Soon the corn roll was handed up by the waitress.
The lady had earrings and lip studs, and wore a sleeveless T-shirt that revealed two big flowered arms.
It was worthy of being a gangster restaurant, and she looked really wild.
The corn roll was emitting heat, and it looked a bit like the chicken roll before Ali traveled through time.
The aroma of corn filled the taste buds after taking a bite, and the taste was really good.
The truth is surprisingly good.
According to the boss of the gangster restaurant, although their food also uses a lot of black technology, the corn kernels they use are genuine because he has special channels to smuggle real corn.
No wonder it is so popular. Real food is not affordable for ordinary people. However, the corn rolls here are only sold at a friendly price of 19.9 euros. After deducting the cost, the boss only makes two or three euros. No wonder it is so popular among the gangsters at the bottom.
Bang!
Just then, an extremely embarrassed man and woman broke into the restaurant. The man was wearing a standard biotechnology lab coat and looked terrified. The girl’s face was pale. Her leg was shot and her whole leg was covered with blood.
“Save us, please, the scavengers are hunting us, please help us.”
