Sakura Street – Genting
Genting, one of the top pleasure establishments in Night City, was once firmly controlled by the Tiger Claw Gang.
But that had all changed.
After the destruction of the Tiger Claw Gang's main headquarters overnight, the gang was left in chaos, leaderless and vulnerable.
Seizing the opportunity, Susie, the leader of the Mox Gang, along with Judy, Jenny, and a squad of Mox enforcers, stormed into Genting without hesitation.
Inside the manager's office sat Oswald Foles, known as the "Wooden Man." He barely had time to react before the Mox Gang barged in.
"You… What the hell do you Mox want?!" Oswald stammered, his fat face contorted in shock and anger. "Genting is under Tiger Claw's jurisdiction! You have no right—!"
"Hmph, and you're still clinging to that?" Susie scoffed, twirling the gun in her hand with a smirk. "Your so-called 'jurisdiction' burned down with your bosses. The girls in Genting have suffered under you scumbags long enough!"
She took a step forward, her voice sharp as a knife.
"From this moment on, Genting belongs to the Mox Gang!"
Oswald's face turned pale, but before he could even protest, a group of Mox members surged forward, pummeling him without mercy.
For years, the Tiger Claw Gang had exploited the women working at Genting, treating them as little more than disposable property. Those who resisted were beaten or sold off, their bodies augmented and repurposed.
The Mox Gang had sworn to protect women from exactly this kind of abuse.
With Tiger Claw in shambles, they wasted no time in taking control.
Oswald was thrown out onto the street, bleeding and humiliated. The women who had been forced to work under his rule cheered as he was driven away.
Susie stepped onto the main stage of Genting, raising her voice for everyone to hear.
"Ladies! Genting is free from Tiger Claw now!" she declared. "No more forced work, no more abuse! From now on, you decide what you do here!"
The crowd erupted into cheers.
"Long live Mox!"
"Long live Mox!"
Among the celebration, Judy exchanged a satisfied smile with Susie and Jenny.
"Never thought I'd see the day those bastards got what they deserved," Jenny laughed, raising a bottle in triumph.
"Feels damn good," Susie agreed, sipping a drink with a smirk. "Poetic justice, don't you think?"
"More like a miracle," Judy said, her eyes narrowing. "That black fire that wiped them out? We saw it all the way from Lizzie's Bar. What the hell was that?"
"Military tech, maybe?" Susie guessed, crossing her arms. "A weapon like that would have to be top-secret."
Judy took a drag from her cigarette, exhaling slowly. "Whatever it was, it burned all night. NCPD couldn't even put it out."
As the three of them speculated, one of the women from Genting hesitated before stepping forward.
"Actually…" the woman said quietly.
Susie turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"I was there that night," the woman admitted. "Me and a few others. We saw what happened with our own eyes."
Judy, Jenny, and Susie all froze.
"You saw it?!" Judy asked sharply. "What exactly happened?"
The woman hesitated, then took a deep breath. "It wasn't a military weapon. It was a person. A young Asian man."
The three Mox leaders exchanged stunned looks.
There was only one person they could think of who fit that description.
David.
David had clashed with Tiger Claw just days before. He had special abilities, unlike anything they had ever seen.
And now, the entire Tiger Claw headquarters had been reduced to nothing but ashes overnight.
"You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?" Susie asked cautiously.
The woman shook her head. "No. We didn't say anything to Oswald either. We were afraid of what would happen if Tiger Claw found out."
"Good." Susie's expression hardened. "Make sure it stays that way. No one talks about this to anyone, got it?"
The woman nodded quickly.
As soon as she left, Jenny turned to Susie, smirking. "You're really looking out for David, huh?"
"Of course," Susie replied matter-of-factly. "He helped us without even knowing it. He did what no one else could. The least we can do is have his back."
Jenny chuckled. "Or maybe you just like him?"
Susie didn't deny it. Instead, she gave a slow, knowing smile.
"Why wouldn't I?" she said playfully. "A man like that doesn't come around often in Night City."
Judy laughed. "I gotta admit, he's pretty damn impressive. But I'm guessing you wouldn't want to share?"
"Giggle… Why not?" Susie teased, glancing between Judy and Jenny. "We're sisters, aren't we? Sharing is caring."
Jenny gasped dramatically, pretending to clutch her heart. "Susie, you're so bad!"
"Oh, you love it," Susie purred, flipping her hair. "Besides, wouldn't it be fun?"
Judy rolled her eyes but smirked. "You're impossible."
"But I'm right," Susie said, winking.
The three women burst into laughter, enjoying the moment.
After a while, Judy's expression grew more serious.
"Jokes aside," she said, "if David really did wipe out the Tiger Claw Gang, he's in serious danger. Every major corp in Night City is going to be looking for him."
"True," Jenny nodded. "Arasaka, Militech, Kang Tao… they're all going to want to know what happened."
Susie thought for a moment, then smiled.
"That just means we need to get closer to him," she said.
Judy raised an eyebrow. "And how exactly do you plan on doing that?"
Susie's eyes sparkled mischievously.
"Giggle… Come on, Judy," she cooed. "We're women. We have plenty of ways to get close to a man."
