"Alright, I've taken care of it for you."
"Oh wow, if it weren't for our Night City big sis, my small-time mercenaries wouldn't have been able to handle this big assignment, and I'd definitely make a fool of myself in front of my employer."
Reyes eagerly went in for a hug, which Rogers deftly sidestepped.
"Cut the crap, have you thought about the price?"
The two had only crossed paths a few times, not really close. Reyes returning for assistance surprised Rogers.
"Last time, those guys didn't bother those mercenaries. Now you're stirring things up again. Are you really willing to go down that dark road with Lin Miao?"
Ideally, middlemen are a bunch of opportunists, exploiting mercenaries, avoiding risks—the least unprincipled group.
But Reyes daring to take Lin Miao's job at this moment was easy to get noticed, and once he caught their attention, even if Reyes survived, he'd be heavily scarred.
