Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 119 Now Now

Vito sent T-bug a large sum of money.

T-bug was originally watching Qiwei's appearance on the internet. She didn't send Qiwei a virus file to alert her. These kinds of hackers who roam the streets, if they're not skilled, they're all dead.

Upon seeing the transfer, T-bug sent a message to Vito.

[Did you drink too much and add a few extra zeros? But how come I didn't know you were so rich?]

[After you finish this job, go to Tahiti and live a retired life. You won't have to deal with ICE anymore.]

[Didn't you say you wanted me to take you online? We haven't done that yet.]

[Haha, I need to take a break too. I'll reconnect in a while, and we'll meet in cyberspace.]

[Did you tell Jack about this?]

[I've already told you, and I've also told you about your retirement.]

[That big oaf is probably crying in bed tonight. I need to text him, lest Jack finds some mediocre hacker on the street to be our team's hacker after I leave.]

Have a wonderful time in Tahiti.

Thank you. Just let me know if you need anything; I can still help you even after I retire.

[OK, I'll stop chatting now, I have some things to take care of =）]

After closing the chat window, Vito sent Liying a message from the clinic that evening, telling her to get some rest and not to spend the whole night watching movies with Xiao.

Vito moved the recliner to the clinic entrance, and as he watched the lights of Heywood with the night breeze in his eyes, it was the first time he had calmly observed Heywood at night.

In the morning, Gloria arrived at the clinic with dark circles under her eyes and saw Vito on a recliner.

"You've been lying here all night?"

Vito stretched and folded up the recliner.

"I wanted to lie down here for a bit, but why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

"I called David last night and I felt something was off about him. I wanted to go see him, but he refused. I asked him to come to the clinic, but he said he was too busy and made excuses. I feel like he's hiding something from me."

Gloria sighed. David starting to avoid her meant that the child was hiding something from her.

Vito gave Gloria a box and then transferred a large sum of money to her.

"Vito, what does this mean?"

Gloria frowned.

"I'm leaving for a while, and the repair shop and clinic will be closing down. Gloria, you're a good person. Take this money and leave Night City."

The box contains prosthetic capacity chips. I've been using them recently, and they've proven effective. Give them to David, and then you and Lucy can go together.

Gloria took the box.

"Thank you for the chip, but I can't take your money."

Vito refused Gloria's transfer.

"Take it, money isn't that important to me anymore."

Gloria's eyes reddened.

"So, what are you going to do now? Perform surgery on yourself at night and then sneak out for a gunfight?"

Vito was speechless.

"How could you—"

"Vito! I know you're strong! I know you're capable, I know you can handle anything, but I still worry when I help you throw away those blood-stained, bullet-hole-ridden clothes!"

I know you're involved in some rumors about the city at night. You never hide it, you just come back so openly. If you don't say anything, I won't ask. But now you're transferring such a large sum of money to me, what are you going to do with it?

"Tell me the truth, Vito, I've kept track of the clinic's accounts. You couldn't possibly have saved that much money. What are you going to do with it!"

Vito did not answer Gloria's question directly.

"I need to rest for a while, don't worry, Gloria. Have you decided where you want to go? Asia? Or somewhere else? I heard the moon is nice. I saw on GG the other day that tickets only cost 250,000 yen. You—"

Gloria hugged Vito, and this sudden action left Vito speechless.

After a while, Vito gently pushed Gloria away.

Gloria wiped away her tears.

"I had a dream where I didn't meet you, the cleaner took my prosthetic body, and the doctor just gave David an urn."

I was watching David from heaven. He joined Mann's team, and one by one, the team members died. Later, he implanted many prosthetic bodies into himself, and finally, he died in Arasaka.

"It's alright, Gloria, it was just a dream. Go back and pack your things. I'll have Jack give you a ride. He has a new partner now, and he drives incredibly well."

Vito didn't know how to face Gloria. He rescued Gloria from an accident and met David. In his time with Gloria, Vito was unknowingly influenced by her.

Gloria was kind, and her compassion made those she helped truly grateful to her.

She tried her best to lift David up and help him escape his depravity, but unfortunately, tragedy always strikes first.

During her time at the clinic with Vito, Gloria learned everything. The gang members who came to the clinic would tell stories about the Blocky Head, and her intuition told her that Vito was the Blocky Head, the one who used violence to combat violence but did not harm ordinary people.

Gloria remained silent, until Vito finally broke the silence.

"Gloria, could you help me get an external prosthetic arm for my right hand?"

Gloria nodded and went inside to put on her white coat, while Vito took out a sword-embedded hand prosthetic from a box. Once installed, this prosthetic would allow a hidden blade to pop out from the back of the hand.

This was inspired by Vito from Assassin's Creed. Regardless of how well it works, he decided to equip it and try it out. In some crucial moments, having a knife is better than gouging someone's eyes out with your fingers.

As for whether to attach it to the back of the hand or the wrist, Vito thought about his fingers and finally chose to attach it to the back of his hand.

The operating room was quiet, with only the faint sound of machinery. Gloria carefully helped Vito install his prosthetic body.

Vito felt that time seemed to pass very slowly today, while Gloria felt that time flew by.

After the prosthetic body was installed, Gloria patted Vito's prosthetic body, just like they usually did.

"Vito."

"What's wrong, Gloria?"

"I'm so glad to have met you."

"I'm happy too, Gloria."

"I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Yes, Gloria."

David's Wheel of Fortune card is about to come upright; everything is for that fateful encounter.

The cards circulated as if trying to make up for some regret, which led to Vito and David's meeting and then created a complex connection between them.

The wheel of fortune is destined to be the mechanism that governs all living beings in the torrent of time.

Under the wheel of fate, David's health is ravaged by chronic illnesses caused by his poor prosthetic habits, his love life fails to develop as expected and encounters uncontrollable problems, and some things are futile even if he tries hard to fight them.

But all of this will change completely when the Wheel of Fortune reaches its upright position.

At this time, Faraday was beginning to eliminate people associated with the cybernetic body "King Kong," and Lucy was at the top of Faraday's list.
