Are you tired of living?

"Okay, let's have a few drinks and talk about life, okay?"

Jack picked up the glasses that had been placed on the table and handed one to V. "Double tequila, with pomegranate juice and lime. Drink this and forget about it."

"But...."

V didn't take the wine glass, and hesitation still remained on her face. She wanted to try again.

But at this moment, David spoke again: "Don't say but. No one in Night City will take this job, even me. It's too difficult and hard to do. I might get myself into trouble."

He wasn't afraid of fighting Arasaka, but he didn't want to be dragged into Arasaka because of something like this.

What's more, this woman has a husband from Zeta Technology and a lover from Kang Tao.

This is really a case of the whole body being affected by a single thread.

"And... do you think that the assassination of Arasaka's special operations director by someone inside Arasaka can be foolproof? You have to know that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. You might be sunk to the dock in Watson District tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" V expressed confusion.

"It's very simple... Look over there, someone is looking for you."

David gestured to the side.

The two of them looked over there, and saw a few men in suits walking in and heading towards their booth.

"?Dios mío! (Oh my god!), sister, it seems they really came to find you."

"Your name is V?"

The agent sent by Arasaka walked straight up to V and asked.

But V didn't answer. He looked at the agent in front of him for a while and asked, "You are sent by Arasaka headquarters. What's the problem? Is it about Frankfurt?"

Until now, she still didn't believe what David said that it couldn't be airtight.

After all, she had only accepted this for less than two hours, how could it be so fast...

"We're here to find you."

"Jenkins has a mission for you today, and we need to know all the details about it."

The Arasaka agent said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Your name and department, can you please tell me again? I didn't hear you clearly just now."

However, the moment the words fell, V's vision began to blur, as if an old TV had malfunctioned and the picture in front of him was being torn apart.

"...Ugh...Shit..."

"How do you feel? Are you feeling dizzy or something? Hmm?"

The Arasaka agent's eyes were glowing orange.

But this is not uploading a puppet, it is just a simple permission operation.

"Your access to the company network has now been officially revoked."

"In two minutes, any of your company-related network devices will also be forcibly stopped. Finally, hand over the data that Jenkins gave you to us, and the dismissal process is officially completed."

The man's voice was devoid of emotion, and it fell like a heavy hammer, delivering the final judgment on the woman in front of him.

However, V's head was still dizzy and everything felt unreal.

But when she tried to access the Arasaka network, it showed that access was denied.

All of this is true.

In just a moment, she lost everything.

Including his former position in Arasaka, platinum membership of the trauma team, and all bank accounts were cancelled.

Although V is also an Arasaka agent, and a senior agent at that, it is obvious that the guy in front of her has a much higher level of authority than her.

"How the hell did you find out?"

"You don't need to know that."

The man slowly bent down, "Hand over the data, quickly!"

"..."

V hesitated for a moment, but chose to hand over the data chip obediently: "The information is all in here."

"Hmph, you're smart."

The Arasaka agent snatched the chip and handed it to his men for confirmation.

After reading it, the subordinate nodded, indicating that the content was the same as in the intelligence.

"...Is it okay?"

"Procedurally, yes."

The man said perfunctorily, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "If we help Abernathy get rid of a scum like you, she should give us more compensation..."

"Hey, that's enough."

David suddenly interrupted the man and grabbed the hand that the man stretched out to V: "Let's be merciful. You've already got what you wanted. Let her go, how about that?"

"Who the hell are you?"

The man broke free from David's restraints, and his two guards each pulled out their pistols and pointed them at David.

"Wow wow wow, have you guys forgotten whose territory this is on?"

Jack also pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the forehead of one of the guards. "The food here is not suitable for your taste. It may be bad for your health if you eat it. ?Queda claro? (Do you understand?)"

At the same time, the people who were just twisting their bodies on the dance floor dispersed immediately after seeing the tense situation here where a fight was about to break out.

The members of the Mox Gang also ran in, pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the three guys from Arasaka.

"How about it? Are you still going to do it?"

David was still sitting in the booth, looking at the gun-wielding man in front of him jokingly.

"Of course, you can also choose to shoot, but when you shoot, you will also be shot into a sieve by others. What will you choose?"

In his eyes, pistols have become toys.

Unless it's some weird large-caliber pistol, there's no need to be afraid.

What's more, even if the man chose to shoot, whether he could be killed is another matter.

"You dare to threaten me?"

"What about threats?"

"..."

This time the man did not respond, but fell silent, thinking about weighing the pros and cons.

However, the calmness of the young man in front of him made him a little unsure. Such a calm guy must have some background and was not someone they could easily provoke.

After a moment's thought, the man retracted the pistol.

"Humph, I'll let you go today. Let's go."

So after saying something harsh, he left without looking back.

Seeing them leave, everyone put down their weapons.

"Sorry for causing you trouble."

David thanked the Mox gang members, but the girls just waved their hands and said, "You're welcome, David. You've helped us even more."

The girls offered their smiles one after another, then turned and left, leaving the place to them.

"Oh my god, you're so familiar with the girls from the Mox Gang?"

Seeing their graceful postures and captivating voices, Jack's voice was filled with envy.

"Okay, stop being envious. Be careful or I'll tell Misty."

"Don't! Don't do that!"

Jack was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, and suddenly changed the subject: "Since you are so familiar with the Mox Gang, why didn't you leave those bastards behind just now?"

"..."

David rolled his eyes at the big fool and sighed helplessly, "Ah... Are you stupid? Some of those people have higher status than your good sister V, and they were sent by Abernathy. If you really leave them here, do you think Lizzie can still run?"

“Haha, that’s right…”

After hearing this, he finally realized that this was indeed the case.

However, at this moment, V, who had been fine just now, suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the ground with a thump!

"Hey, V, are you okay? How are you feeling?"

"I...I can't breathe..."

She covered her throat with her white hands, as if this would make her feel better.

"Don't worry, she's fine. She's just been disconnected from her hormone circulator, biological monitoring, and data analysis systems. Her body needs some time to adapt. Now it's just a similar withdrawal reaction. She'll be fine after a while."

David, who was squatting next to V, said as he checked on the woman's condition.

But the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth: "Look, Valerie, I said a long time ago that we would meet as both cyberpunks, was I right?"

"...Don't...Don't call me by that name...We are not familiar with each other...Call me V..."

Even though it has become like this, V is still obsessed with this.

David shrugged helplessly when he heard that, reached out and grabbed V's hand and pulled her up.

"Well, V, then welcome to join the Cyberpunk family."

"What are you talking about?"

Jack, who didn't know the truth, was stunned.

96. Why not take the vacation you earned? (6K)

Over the next six months, V, under the guidance of Jack and David, experienced life in Night City.

Sometimes they fight in the streets, walking through the hail of bullets, and sometimes they indulge in the bright lights and the life of decadence.

Having said that, most of the time, the other party is already scared to death the moment David shows up.

After all, the name David Martinez and the weight of being a Night City legend are something that anyone can understand unless you are a newbie.

This also indirectly led to V and Jack's rapid rise to fame, and in just half a year they made a name for themselves in this city of desire.

Jack and V are new people that David is going to train, but in fact they are just friends.

Jack was in awe of how quickly his fame grew.

It was obvious that half a year ago, he was still an unknown little person who was not even qualified to enter the door to the next life.

In addition, there was a shocking news about Arasaka.

Arasaka Yorinobu, the son of local tyrant Saburo Arasaka, has now arrived in Night City to take over the headquarters.

As for the timing...it was just one month after V was nearly sunk to the dock.

But then again, he didn't accompany V and Jack on commissions very often.

It's only happened more than ten times in the past six months.

Most of the time he still has his own life.

Just like what Stanley, the always excited host on the radio, said -

"Hello, Night City."

"I'm your dear old friend Stanley. Another long day has begun in our Dream City."

"I love this city, just like you love your mother. But today we are not going to talk about the trivial things in Night City, but to change the topic."

"Let's talk about a person who has been famous in Night City for a long time."

"There are countless legends in Night City. Do you know where they all gather?"

"In the cemetery."
