The Daily Life of the Demon King

Chapter 110 - 110: The First Episode of Cyberpsychosis and Plans

Life in Night City is always bustling with events—every day something new happens. Each resident has their own problems, and more often than not, they are tied to what's going on in their lives. But if someone has a problem and the money, the solution is usually the same—hire mercenaries.

They can take on jobs of any complexity, from simple debt collection to assassination. In this city, there are those who will do anything for money. But the key point is this: if you can afford their services, life can become a little easier.

Alex had earned a good reputation among the mercs and fixers of Night City, and he was getting more and more job offers. He wasn't picky about the jobs, but he had limits on what he was willing to do. For example, he would never take a job to kill someone just because they accidentally stepped on someone's foot in a bar or punched a cheating husband in the face. Sure, there are those in the city who would take such contracts, but Alex wasn't one of them.

This time, he took a job from a girl he knew, who was being stalked by an obsessive admirer who couldn't understand the word «no.» When Alex found out the details, he was momentarily puzzled: the job involved dealing with a stalker, which seemed unusual. But since the request came from someone he knew, why not help out?

Alex didn't think he'd have to deal with someone who couldn't express their feelings in a healthy way. But when he finally met the guy, it became clear that he was just a stalker who couldn't take «no» for an answer.

When Alex finally confronted him and demanded he leave the girl alone, the guy went off on a rant about his «love» for the object of his obsession. Alex held his patience for as long as he could, but eventually, he snapped and punched the stalker in the face. Now, he stood there, looking at the guy with a bloody nose and a big bruise under his eye.

They were in the stalker's apartment—tiny, even smaller than the one Alex had once shared with Gloria. The place reminded him of Japanese capsule apartments: a cramped six-by-six-meter room that had turned into a complete mess.

Alex watched as the guy tried to stop the bleeding and frantically

«The cure is there. And I already have a plan for how to get in. We just need to prepare thoroughly,» Alex said firmly, shaking his head.

Dorio sighed heavily, realizing that Alex had already made his decision. It seemed he had this plan for a long time; the situation with Maine had simply accelerated his actions.

She understood that it would be a suicidal mission and wasn't sure that Alex could not only infiltrate Arasaka but also make it out alive. She didn't want to agree to such a risky venture, but she realized that they had little choice.
