There is a tenseness in the air as the Hacker spoke, though Sunny broke it with a chuckle which turned into a small laugh.
"Mr. Yoshida I am flattered that you would state that a small club as ours would do so much damage to the cardamine trade to the point of wiping out the great Lane Hackers, but I know as well as you know that this is not the case. Please... *chuckling further* I would expect that such an apparent weakness would be shielded better?
"Rather... I would think my expectations are correct, Mr. Yoshida. Based on what you are saying you should be dead by now." Sunny shrugs and reaches into his jacket and lights another spiff of weed. "But that is not the case, is it? We have not seen cardamine smugglers for a while. Is that becasue we have wiped them all out, or is it becasue they are leaking through without us knowing? The Lane Hackers are the largest suppliers of the drug in Liberty. Is that not correct? Would you also state we have stopped a Lane Hacker shipment in all our time we had prosperous business relations?"
Sunny shrugs.
"As for income, might I remind you, you have access to the markets on this station."
