20demayo Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Ali shrugged. He didn’t care about the shock in Jack Wells’ heart. He had said everything he needed to say.
“I…you……”
Jack Wells looked at Ali in shock. Something was wrong. Didn’t V say that her brother didn’t have implants, just slept at home, didn’t know anything, was weak, pitiful and helpless?
How could his shooting skills be better than his, a veteran who had been in Night City for many years? Was V cheating? Probably not. She had no reason to do that. That was to say, Ali was hiding too deeply. Even V, his own sister who lived under the same roof, didn’t know that this boy was so capable.
As an experienced cyberpunk, Jack Wells figured out many things in an instant. He looked at Ali in front of him in surprise.
At this moment, in Jack’s eyes, Ali’s face, which seemed to have never experienced the vicissitudes of life, became mysterious.
“Snap, snap~”
Ali snapped his fingers twice in front of Jack who was in a daze, bringing him back to his senses.
“A Li, my brother……”
Jack Wells reacted, he exhaled, and took out his”Golden Bitch” with a look of defeat, but his expression was a little painful when he handed it to Ali.
Ali looked at Jack Wells'”bitch”. If the”Uniform” in his hand was considered green fine grade, then Jack’s”Golden Bitch” was at least blue military grade, and the second-hand price was about 2,000 to 3,000 euros, which was also considered a good thing in Night City.
“Forget it, a gentleman does not take away what others love.”
“Just treat me to a meal.”
Ali did not take over Jack’s”wife”. After all, she was kind enough to teach him skills and was thinking about him from beginning to end. He also signed”Advanced Gunner” from Jack, the most useful combat skill in Night City. It would be unreasonable to take someone else’s beloved gun.
“Really, this is a good thing. I, Jack Wells, am known for my willingness to accept defeat. Don’t worry about me. Just take it if you want.”
“Well, since you don’t want it, I’ll take it back. Brother Ali, just tell me what you want to eat. How about I take you to the best gangster restaurant in Heywood? The tacos there are famous for their delicious flavor. Thinking about it now, my mouth is watering.”
Jack Wells didn’t give Ali a chance to take it. He stuffed the gun back into the holster beside his pants while talking to himself. Ali saw the ridiculous scene, but didn’t point it out. He just nodded.
“Okay, but I want to make one thing clear to you. My name is Ali, and I don’t have a”brother”. In this world, except for my sister V, I don’t want to hear anyone call me”brother”.”
“This… this is a bit strange, isn’t it? Your sister and I are of the same generation. She calls you brother and I am her buddy, so what should I call you?”
Jack Wells obviously didn’t think straight. He would be more naive in front of friends and relatives, and he didn’t like to think much. This was very similar to Female V, who always let down all his defenses in front of his family.
Obviously, his relationship with Female V was so good that he treated Ali as his own brother. You know, in the game, Female V was fired from the company and was about to be captured by people sent by the company, but it was Jack Wells who stepped forward to stop the company personnel.
And after Female V was fired and fell into poverty, it was Jack who took her to do tasks and stepped into the cyberpunk industry step by step. During this period, Jack stood up to settle many of the problems that Female V caused because of her incompatibility.
It can be said that this relationship is no longer family, but better than family, so Ali asked him not to call him”brother”. He thought Ali meant that he, Jack Wells, should not make random connections. After all, Female V is now a ministerial-level figure, and he, Jack, is just a low-level mercenary.
This feeling made his heart suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. He felt like he was abandoned by someone he regarded as a family member. Jack Wells was obviously stunned, and his expression became a little lost.
“Don’t think too much!”
Ali patted Jack’s shoulder.
“My sister is your buddy, so I can be your buddy too. I call her sister and you call me brother. We are equals and there is no conflict between us.”
Ali’s words made Jack Wells feel better. He nodded and realized that Ali just didn’t want to be looked down upon by others.
“But why do I call you brother? I am much older than you.”
“Hey, don’t worry about these details, age is not a problem, if it doesn’t work, just call each other by name, you call me Ali, I call you Jack.”
Jack Wells suddenly reacted, but was quickly blocked by Ali. He nodded, and it seemed that he didn’t find any other flaws. Jack also felt that the feeling of being friends of the same generation would indeed be much more comfortable.
“By the way, Jack, don’t tell my sister that I’m a great marksman for now. Let’s continue training as usual, and you should report as usual. Just say that I’m practicing my marksmanship with you, and I’m making good progress. This way, my sister can be relieved and can go to work without worrying about my safety.”
Ali said seriously, and Jack Wells was puzzled after hearing this. You know, Female V is Ali’s biological sister, so why should he hide it from his biological sister?
“How many things have you been hiding from your sister?”
Jack Wells asked
“A lot, but this is all for her good. Anyway, I don’t know how to tell you. Anyway, without me, her future will become a legend. If I am with her, her future will become confusing.”
A Li knew that Jack Wells didn’t understand at all, so he simply added:”Just remember one sentence, female V is my sister, I won’t harm her.”
“”Oh, if you had said that earlier I would have understood. Although it’s a bit profound, I see. I believe you.”
Jack Wells nodded pretending to understand. Ali knew that he didn’t understand but was pretending to understand. Anyway, Jack promised to keep Ali a secret and provide cover, so that was enough.
Jack also knew that Ali’s shooting skills were better than his. He looked at the shooting practice field in the abandoned factory that he had spent two or three days cleaning up and could only feel a little pity.
Since there was no need to practice shooting, it would be meaningless to stay here. Jack Wells drove his ARCH motorcycle directly to the Haywood area with Ali, intending to take him to taste the best gangster restaurant there.
After all, Jack Wells had said that he would take Ali to eat the best tacos in Haywood, so he must take Ali to Haywood to eat tacos!
“But before that, I have to take you to my house. After all, the Arasaka school uniform you’re wearing is too hateful. I have to go back and find some clothes for you to change into.”
“”Okay.”
Just like that, the motorcycle carrying the two of them whizzed through the streets of Night City. With Jack’s skilled driving skills, they sped steadily towards Jack’s home.
