As Alex Carter expected, the contact found him as soon as he arrived at the church.
He then made his way to the butcher shop, as per the plot, and met the Voodoo Boys' second-in-command—Placide.
Looking at the imposing figure in front of him, Alex couldn't help but feel the urge to punch him in the face.
To be honest, these Voodoo Boys could be quite irritating.
Following Placide to the Voodoo Boys' hideout at the Batty Hotel, the two sat down to discuss the Animal Gang.
However, as soon as Alex sat down, Placide reached over and grabbed Alex's personal link.
In this world, a personal link is akin to one's ID card and phone number.
Placide's action was equivalent to reaching into someone's pocket and forcibly grabbing their ID and phone.
How annoying is that, and how low is his emotional intelligence?
Even though Alex knew the plot, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
As soon as Placide grabbed his wrist, Alex twisted it in return.
"Crack..."
"Ah... What the hell..."
With a cry of pain, Placide clutched his twisted forearm, his dark face turning pale.
Hearing Placide's screams, the surrounding Voodoo Boys rushed over with guns.
Despite the commotion, Alex remained calm.
"Sorry, just an instinctive reaction. Who told you not to give a heads-up?"
"Damn..." Placide cursed angrily, then grabbed his wrist with his other hand and snapped it back into place.
"Quack."
The hand that Alex had twisted and dislocated returned to normal.
However, the friction injury from the dislocation would take a good ten days to heal without pain.
Alex sneered, "If there's a job, just say it directly. Can't you speak, or do you think I can't understand your language?"
Facing Alex's mockery, Placide's expression shifted repeatedly.
But ultimately, he held back.
He couldn't afford to turn on Alex just yet.
The Voodoo Boys had limited contact with the outside world, and finding a mercenary was challenging.
Besides, Alex was just a pawn, a victim of this operation.
"Hmph... Some things aren't clear," Placide said, sitting down, clutching his arm.
Alex crossed his legs, smiling disdainfully: "Can't tell? Isn't it because a network monitor appeared in the Animal Gang, and you need someone to check it out and eliminate him?"
"What's the matter? Is your language so lacking that you can't even understand this?"
Hearing Alex's words, Placide's forehead throbbed with veins.
But as angry as he was, he was equally shocked.
How did Alex know what they were planning?
"Surprised, are you?" Alex leaned back in his chair.
"What the Voodoo Boys know, others don't? Are you too confident or too dismissive of others?"
Placide was nearly choked by Alex's retort.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal.
Eventually, he could only dodge the topic: "I need to install the subnet Poseidon to understand what you've seen and heard through your perspective."
"Your hacking skills aren't great; we need the most professional data analysis."
"Couldn't you have just said that?" Alex smiled and plugged in his personal link.
In reality, he knew well that the subnet Poseidon's role was far more extensive.
But what of it?
He was perfectly prepared for this.
Soon, Placide's voice echoed in Alex's mind, followed by a string of personal data.
"Your ripperdoc is Viktor?"
"Yeah, but if you dare target him, I promise your head will be the first to go," Alex said indifferently.
Placide frowned, continuing to check.
Soon, he discovered the Relic inside Alex.
"What is this chip?"
Alex played with his gun, bored: "If you're clueless, ask your boss. Don't embarrass yourself here."
"You..."
"What? Either take me to Brigitte now, or stop wasting my time."
Placide's fists clenched tightly.
If it weren't for the hassle of finding another mercenary, he'd love to smash Alex right then.
Suppressing his anger, after handling everything, Placide stood up.
"The exit is at the end of the lobby, and my people will let you through."
With that, he turned to leave.
He seemed unwilling to look at Alex any longer.
"Tsk tsk, look at him sulking. Alex, are you sure this won't affect our plans?" Johnny asked, amused.
He was quite impressed by Alex's sharp tongue.
He guessed Placide would be stewing over this for a while.
Alex shook his head: "Whatever, if it really doesn't work out, I'll go to Kang Tao."
"The main reason I came to the Voodoo Boys is that I find them annoying and wanted to stir some trouble."
Johnny almost felt sorry for the Voodoo Boys.
Of all the people to provoke, they had to choose the troublemaker Alex Carter.
