Chapter 796

MaxTac—Night City’s infamous Maximum Force Tactical Division—was the kind of name that made even hardened gangsters flinch. The entire unit consisted of just ten elite squads, keeping its active roster somewhere between sixty and seventy operatives.

For a megacity whose population had recently swelled past eight million, that number was microscopic. And yet, it was precisely that artificial scarcity that made MaxTac so terrifying.

Because every one of its members was a tamed beast. Almost all of them were captured cyberpsychos—top-tier killing machines driven insane by neural overload—rehabilitated through lobotomy-level surgeries and chemical suppression.
