Cyberpunk:Gained a body of steel

Whole Foods Factory

Luo Yi Si sat back in his exclusive room, enjoying the services of a luxury sex doll from Genting. He felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life. Just a week ago, his good friend Brick was killed by mercenaries, and Luo Yi Si had seized control of the Maelstrom Gang through sheer force. Now, he had taken over the majority of the Maelstrom Gang's resources and property, making him one of the most influential figures in Night City.

"Ugh~"

Luo Yi Si sighed in satisfaction. His life had taken a dramatic turn for the better. However, the peace was short-lived.

"Boss! It's not good! They're calling again!"

A panicked voice broke into his room. It was one of his underlings.

"What? The mercenaries from last week?" Luo Yi Si snapped, suddenly standing up, his moment of pleasure completely shattered.

"Yes, boss! The mercenaries are back. I've confirmed it. The only image we captured from surveillance shows that it's them."

Luo Yi Si's stomach dropped. His earlier confidence was replaced by a growing sense of dread.

"F**k! These guys just don't know when to quit! Are they trying to take down our Maelstrom Gang?" Luo Yi Si cursed. He felt like a fool, but at this point, he couldn't back down. He had come too far.

"You've got to be kidding me!" he growled. "I've worked hard for this position, and now these mercenaries want to ruin it all? Damn it!"

The underling stood by, waiting for orders. Luo Yi Si gritted his teeth, refusing to let go of everything he had worked for.

"Boss, what should we do now?" the underling asked, panic in his voice.

"What should we do? We take military tech! We're going to fight them to the death!" Luo Yi Si shouted, his eyes burning with determination.

Meanwhile, Outside the Whole Foods Factory

Peter's team had already arrived at the Maelstrom Gang's headquarters. Jack, his grin wide, cracked his knuckles. "Haha! Peter, this gorilla arm is amazing!" he said, excited after smashing a Maelstrom gang member into the wall.

"Jack, stop showing off. You can play around later. Today, we're here to handle business," Peter said, reloading his weapon with a calm expression.

The situation was intense. The Maelstrom Gang had fortified their position since the last encounter. At least fifty members were now firing at Peter's team. The overwhelming firepower created a strong deterrent effect, though Peter wasn't fazed. Jack and V, on the other hand, had to dodge the incoming fire.

"Get ready, boys!" shouted Luo Yi Si from above, manning a heavy machine gun and spraying fire in Peter's direction.

"These mercenaries don't know their place! I'll show them what I'm made of!" Luo Yi Si yelled as he fired wildly.

The powerful firepower forced Peter's team to take cover. The Maelstrom Gang's weapons, equipped with military-grade technology, were far more advanced than what they had used before. It was the toughest battle they had faced yet.

"Damn, Luo Yi Si's firepower is insane," V muttered, trying to keep her head down behind the bunker.

"This is worse than the Tiger Claw Gang's stronghold," Jack agreed, scanning the battlefield.

Peter, however, remained unfazed. "Forget it. I'll take care of this," he said with a resigned sigh.

In an instant, Peter sprang into action, moving with such speed that it felt like the world around him had frozen. He pulled out his kinetic pistol and took aim, shooting a Maelstrom member in the head from the first floor.

His objective was clear: he needed to neutralize Luo Yi Si, the man causing the chaos from above. Without hesitation, Peter darted toward the heavy machine gun nest where Luo Yi Si was stationed.

Inside the Factory

The gunfire abruptly ceased. Peter's team was stunned. From their perspective, it seemed as if Peter had done something incredible in mere seconds.

Luo Yi Si, who had been arrogantly firing his heavy machine gun moments ago, was now lying on the ground beneath Peter's boot. A pistol was pointed at his head, and he looked utterly confused.

"What the hell just happened?" Luo Yi Si stammered, disoriented. He had no idea how he ended up here.

Peter glared down at him, his voice cold. "Where are your men? Call them. Now!"

Luo Yi Si's voice shook as he screamed, "Where is everyone? What's going on?!"

He noticed the eerie silence in the factory. The sound of gunfire had stopped completely, and his frantic shouting echoed throughout the empty building.

Peter's team watched in stunned silence as they surveyed the scene. Every Maelstrom member who had been firing at them moments ago now lay motionless on the floor, all with gaping holes in their heads.

Jack's voice trembled as he whispered, "Peter... you're a freak."

David, who had been silently observing, felt a shiver run down his spine. The precision and speed Peter displayed were unlike anything he had ever seen before. He had never imagined that a single person could end a battle so quickly.

Peter turned his attention back to Luo Yi Si. "Are you the boss of the Maelstrom Gang?"

Luo Yi Si's heart raced, but he had no choice but to respond. "Yes! Yes! I'm Luo Yi Si, the boss of the Maelstrom Gang! Please don't kill me! I'll do anything!"

Peter narrowed his eyes. "Dexter sent us here. He said you hacked one of his prototype robots called Xiaopingtou. Is that true?"

Luo Yi Si's eyes widened in panic. "Yes! Yes! I did! I'll take you to it right now! Please, just let me go, and I'll give you everything in our warehouse! All the Curry military tech—everything!"

Peter wasn't interested in bargaining, but Luo Yi Si's desperation was palpable. He had no other option now but to comply.

The three of them followed Luo Yi Si to the warehouse. He quickly led them to the prototype robot they had been sent to retrieve: Xiaopingtou.

Inside the Maelstrom Gang's Warehouse

Luo Yi Si led them to a high-tech vault where Xiaopingtou was kept. The robot stood motionless in the center of the room, its design sleek and sophisticated.

"Here it is," Luo Yi Si said, his voice shaking. "Take it. Just... just don't kill me."

Peter glanced at the robot before turning back to Luo Yi Si. "We've got what we came for. Now, you stay out of our way."

Luo Yi Si, trembling, nodded. "Of course. Of course. You have everything you want. Just... please don't kill me."

Peter motioned for his team to take the robot, and they made their way out of the warehouse. As they left, the factory was eerily quiet, the only sound the soft hum of machinery in the background.
