The side income you earn privately is yours, but taking private jobs shouldn't harm the team's interests.
If the money is earned through the team's reputation or channels, 20% must be added to the team fund to expand and strengthen the team."
Mercer's lengthy explanation made V feel dizzy, so she asked directly, "Just tell me, if I officially join your team, like this job Wagako gave you, how much can I get after it's done?"
"The job you're doing is worth a total of 90,000 Euros. It depends on how many people you need to get it done and how much each gets—take what you need."
After Mercer finished speaking, V couldn't help but gasp.
Even Rebecca and Pira's eyes lit up at the sum, if not for their remaining sense, they might have already wanted to kneel and bow.
90,000 Euros?
If it's just them sharing it, each would get a couple of tens of thousands!
My god... is this how fast a big shot earns money?
"Don't get excited, let's talk about this later, V. First, take care of your work for tonight."
After Mercer spoke, V couldn't help herself: "Damn, so much money, how can I not be tempted? What exactly is this job? Robbing a company?"
Mercer nodded: "Something like that."
"Damn... is the real boss this bold?" V couldn't help but tremble a bit, feeling both excited and a little scared, which was what kept her from impulsively joining right then.
For kids from the streets, the so-called company... really does seem intimidating.
Back at the car, Qiwei, sitting inside V's car, hurriedly rolled down the window and whispered to Mercer: "I feel like someone's watching me!"
"Your instincts are good; you were recognized as soon as you got here... I didn't expect you to be quite famous in the Tiger Claw Gang."
Mercer's tone was relaxed: "Wagako didn't say much, it seems your trouble is over, probably no one will be following you to cause issues anymore."
"What?" Qiwei was stunned for a moment.
"Wagako thinks you're one of mine, so as long as she wants to collaborate with me, she definitely won't let your information leak; if anyone tries to trouble you, she would inform me."
Mercer paused, then said: "Yesterday, I took a look at the server data in passing; the store belongs to a small leader of the Tiger Claw Gang.
Whatever the Tiger Claw Gang wants to do, it can't escape Wagako's eyes. I'm leaning towards the idea that once I finish the job, those you're worried about won't bother you anymore.
Wagako will block those fools for us, or inform me beforehand, and then we'll act first and eliminate anyone trying to cause us issues.
Qiwei, you're free now, no need to worry about those who bullied you in the past coming back to trouble you, that's how it is."
Merce's words left Qiwei momentarily speechless; she opened her mouth, finally only able to say: "Is... that so..."
"Yeah, don't bother wondering why those idiots keep staring at you, I figure it's just their lustful desires acting up.
Alright, V, let's head to your place first, I need to go over the night's plan with you in detail, and I need to have a good talk with Qiwei, she's decided to join me after all, so I have to take responsibility.
As for you two... get in the car first."
After Mercer finished, he casually returned to his own vehicle.
Pira was about to approach when Rebecca pushed her away: "You get over there, I'm talking to the boss."
"Don't go crazy!" Pira warned.
Rebecca rolled her eyes: "I know! Don't need you to tell me!"
As soon as Mercer sat down and closed the driver's door, Rebecca climbed into the passenger seat, staring straight at him: "Brother A, about my dad's situation..."
"I can tell you, but don't get stupid with excitement again, can you handle that?"
Mercer's words made Rebecca nod vigorously, her pigtails flying behind her.
"I can!"
Mercer remained unconvinced by her assurance, truth be told, a kid who hasn't been disciplined finds it hard to mature.
But no problem, if she dares to mess up, Mercer will give her a punch at the critical moment.
"The one who cleaned out your bank account was your dad's mistress, she worked with someone from the Tiger Claw Gang.
She took the money, and her partner killed her, then that partner also didn't last long before he died.
The guy who cleared your house is called William James, currently hanging around with the Sixth Street Gang, running casinos and lending money. Your dad borrowed some money and didn't pay it back, so he came to collect the debt..."
Before Mercer could finish, Rebecca shouted excitedly: "Bullshit! He came to rob us! Didn't even say how much my dad owed, just hauled away everything valuable from the house!
My dad's storage cabinet had a sniper rifle custom-made from Marlorian, which alone could sell for over 200,000, plus all the other things, and the art pieces my dad collected at high prices, and the safe...
I don't even know what's in the safe, they just took the whole cabinet away!
My dad might have been a scumbag, but there's no way he borrowed that much and didn't repay! If it weren't for Pira's quick thinking, hiding some small gold and silver pieces and watches, we would've starved in the street!"
Mercer scratched his ear: "I said, don't get excited."
"I..." Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes, but filled with killing intent, she gritted her teeth: "I want to personally twist his head off and ask how much my dad really borrowed back then!"
Mercer made a sound of agreement, Rebecca waited a second before realizing: "You, you're not going to stop me?"
"Why would I stop you if you want revenge?"
