Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 482 95. Big Brand
"Halala, what a weird way of saying hello, Maki."

Carl naturally stepped forward to greet his good friend when he arrived.

I have to say that Carl always has a strange sense of friendliness towards Mahi. Perhaps it is because Mahi always makes him feel the intimacy of his desk mate he met in school. Carl subconsciously complained about Mahi.

"I just thought of a way to say hello. How do you feel about it? It's very interesting, isn't it?"

"Rather than being interesting, it's very novel. I've never seen it before."

Karl responded, looking at Maki who had obviously dressed up today, wearing a lavender pleated skirt that matched her purple prosthetic eye and made her blue ponytail very eye-catching, and nodded slightly: "But your outfit today is quite beautiful, it's quite novel."

"Yeah, I came here well prepared. I didn't even let it go too fast on autopilot because I was afraid it would mess up something. Oh, I almost forgot."

Ma Xi was talking and laughing when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked behind the elevator she was in, then picked up a super huge paper container from the ground with both hands.

"I brought the Christmas cake as promised. It took me a long time to make it. Have you been looking forward to it for a long time?"

"Of course, I've been thinking about eating it for a long time."

“But there seem to be a lot of people here today.”

Ma Xi held the cake in both hands and handed it to Karl. Karl naturally reached out to take it. After Karl took it, Ma Xi let go of her hands and looked at the scenery inside the flat. After counting the number of people, she said, "Maybe everyone can only get a small piece."

"I am satisfied with just a small piece. After all, this is made by you, Maki."

"You seem to be particularly good at complimenting people today, but no matter how much you compliment me, I will still have a portion. I won't give my portion to you. It would be too pitiful for someone who works so hard to make a cake to not even have a portion of it."

".Sharp as always, Maki."

Carl found that his plan had failed. This friend of his was really exceptionally perceptive.

Mashi and Carl's interaction and conversation were not concealed or lowered in voice. Although the sound was not clear in the noisy room, if you paid a little attention, you could hear what they were talking about. Blanca was chatting with Misty who came out from helping in the kitchen, while listening to their entire conversation at the same time.

'Mashi.'

Carl had occasionally mentioned before that he had met a good friend when he was studying at the Arasaka Academy, which was already known to him. Could it be her?

Arasaka Academy student.
Blanca was calm and didn't care much.

A little girl whose appearance could only be considered pretty. Even if she dressed up, in the eyes of Blanca, as a woman, she was just that.

Among those present, Blanca was still very confident in her appearance.

This young girl is not as good as Oliver's sister. That sister is very attractive to little boys in terms of appearance, and makes Blanca feel more threatened.

Blanca's mentality was very calm, but there were people present whose mentality was a little hard to describe.

This person is the same person who felt regretful for not bringing a gift when he saw Blanca bringing a gift.

"David, why are you hiding behind?"

David seemed timid at this moment when hearing Rebecca's somewhat curious voice. He wanted to ask Rebecca not to speak, but Rebecca's extremely penetrating voice still attracted many people's attention to David, including Ma Xi who had just entered.

"You are."

Maki turned her head slightly and saw David, who looked very familiar, trying to hide behind Lucy who looked helpless. After blinking a few times, she recognized him. "You are David, right?"

Ma Xi's voice was like a verdict, causing David's body to freeze. Then, looking at the motionless David, Ma Xi confirmed it.

"I remember you. Although we were not in the same class, you seemed to have always been at the top of the transcript list. I remember you."

Maki said, smiling again, "I didn't expect to meet a second classmate today."

"Uh"

Today, David used his real face because he thought that they were all acquaintances and friends of Carl, so he was directly exposed in front of Mahi with embarrassment written all over his face. The current situation made him inexplicably feel embarrassed, as if he had gone out to visit a place and was accidentally recognized by unfamiliar classmates.

And this feeling of embarrassment became even stronger with Maki's next words.

"I thought you were only interested in Mewtwo, David. Turns out you're friends with Carl, too."

It was even more embarrassing. David now really wanted to dig a hole in the floor and crawl into it.

She even knew what she was doing in the academy.

It’s not scary if you’re familiar with them, and it’s not scary if you’re not familiar with them at all. The scariest thing is to expose your true situation in front of someone you know a little bit. It’s so embarrassing that you’re going to die.

"Uh"

Looking at David now and Ma Xi, who seemed a little naive and had no idea how embarrassing her words would make David, Carl put himself in David's shoes. If he were in David's current situation, he would also want to cover his face.

Come to think of it, isn't Maki a little too innocent?

As a woman, it's not nice to talk about Mewtwo in public.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with Mewtwo as an entertainment device, but Mashi obviously knows what Mewtwo David is selling, so it is natural to say in this case.
Just when David really wanted to find a hole to crawl into amid the amazement and admiration of the other people around him who were originally unaware of the situation, a voice saved David who was about to be humiliated today.

That's the prompt sound.

"There is a request for a floating car to dock. Do you want to grant permission to dock?"

The resounding reminder sound made all the guests in the large flat more or less stunned.

Is there anyone coming here by hovercraft at this time?
This is really a big-name event, there are a lot of people present, including a rock star, the deputy director of NCPD, the boss of the Sixth Street Gang, and a rich lady. None of them came in the hovercraft, so no one knows who is here.

"Oh, it looks like the last guest has arrived."

In Karl's very normal voice, he took out his mobile phone and controlled it a few times to release the authority.

Then, as everyone watched through the bulletproof glass, a floating vehicle slowly approached the building.

That floating car is
Every car lover present recognized the model of the hovercraft at a glance.

Despite the modifications, and despite the fact that this model was only recently introduced, this car is simply too iconic.

Rumor has it that only those with bank account balances close to infinity are eligible to ride in truly luxurious cars.

Renfield Holy Sword.
