People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

"Eh~~~ That's really boring..."

The two of them were like sisters, their movements were perfectly synchronized, both of them hunched over in frustration with their hands hanging down.

However, Lucy's eyes were still on him, and she slowly said: "...David, the job you are talking about is not related to the company, right?"

"!"

When Lucy said this, his body shook slightly.

But the expression on his face still betrayed his inner thoughts, and it was obvious that it was saying - "How did you know?"

The two people who were originally depressed also recovered a little and turned their eyes towards him.

"Because, since you came back, you looked a little unhappy, as if you were struggling with something."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Hmm~"

Lucy responded with a nice nasal sound and said, "It's that obvious."

It is said that after a woman falls in love, she becomes Sherlock Holmes when her partner cheats on her. But he hasn't cheated on her yet, so how did you become Sherlock Holmes?

Also, please don't use your observation skills in this kind of place, okay?

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to hide it any longer, so he said, "One of the commissions cannot be discussed here for the time being, but the other one is about Meredith Stott."

While speaking, he did not forget to glance at these thugs.

However, when he heard the name Meredith Stout, Mower's emotions clearly fluctuated drastically.

Those who turned to look at him had serious eyes, as if they were eager to know the contents.

However, David, sensing the eager gaze, simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know the details yet, because the other party said that we need to meet and talk."

"Do you need help?"

Mower spoke up, a rare occurrence.

“Not yet.”

He naturally knew what Mowell was thinking. Not 100%, but more than 90% of the time, Mowell wanted to take revenge on Meredith Stout.

Because the fact that she was abandoned by military technology was, if not 100%, at least 60% had something to do with Meredith Stout.

The knot in my heart has not been completely untied yet.

After all, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

David, who knew this well, turned around and slowly walked towards Mower, reached out and gently touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely take you with me."

Mower's body was stunned at first, then he slowly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of disbelief. But when he looked into those ruby-like eyes, his body slowly relaxed and nodded.

"I understand."

She understood what David meant and was willing to believe him.

"Okay, I've finished talking about my business, now it's your turn..."

The moment he turned around and looked at them, those gangsters were suddenly startled.

There is no other reason, it's just because that smile is really scary.

A few minutes later.

David's figure slowly walked out of the alley and was exposed to the sunlight again.

"Okay, now it's time to go find that old woman~"

While stretching his muscles and exercising his body, he hailed a taxi that happened to pass by on the side of the road and drove away.

He didn't do anything special to those thugs, nor did he torture them, nor did he kill them outright.

Just asked a little about their gang, that's all.

Then he asked Lucy and the others to notify NCPD to bring people in to earn some sales.

By the way, he also left his only car to them.

There's nothing else to it.

However, the fact that he did not kill anyone this time surprised these people.

Obviously based on their usual temper, these people...especially the leader, should have died long ago.

He dared to commit robbery in Night City, and the vehicle he robbed was a patrol car of the Terrorist Squad. He can't blame others for his own death.

However, David didn't know what was going on with him, and suddenly he no longer wanted to be ruthless to these people.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old and becoming sentimental?

After all, he is not a demon, let alone a murderer.

However, what surprised him a little was that the gang these people belonged to was actually members of a gang called the Leopard Gang.

What a shit gang?

According to the accounts of these people, the so-called Leopard Gang is a new small gang that has no base yet and relies on illegal activities such as robbery to make money.

When they said this, without exception, they all looked at these people as if they were idiots.

These people and the leader who never showed up must be fools.

In a place like Night City, and in the current situation, how dare you set up a gang without any backing?

Still want to become bigger and stronger?

Night City is so small, and it has been divided up by existing gangs. Where can you go to become bigger and stronger?

Going to the Bad Land?

This is a good idea, but have you asked the people from Randao Society and Night Walker?

Even those wanderers won't tolerate you.

101. If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet (4K)

Tom's Restaurant in Watson District is a legendary restaurant.

It seems that all the big guys come here to discuss things, even military technology is no exception.

However, when David arrived at Tom's Hotel, he found that there were soldiers with military technology guarding the door. After confirming his identity and entering, there was no one inside.

Even the guys at the bar were cleared out.

There was only a frizzy-haired blonde woman sitting near the window, her fingers tapping on the table impatiently, making a ticking sound.

He seemed very anxious and irritable.

However, when she heard footsteps coming from behind, her fingers suddenly stopped and remained suspended in mid-air.

It slowly fell down after David took his seat.

"You're late, David Martinez."

"Really? I remember we didn't agree on a time, Miss Stout." David said with a polite smile.

He didn't seem to be angry at Meredith's questioning, but his statement made the other party particularly dissatisfied.

"Humph, I don't have the extra time to waste with you."

Stott glared at him with her slanted eyes that looked deep and full of smoky makeup, then picked up a cigarette, lit it, and puffed out the smoke.

It seemed that only this could calm her irritable mood.

At the same time, a military technology soldier suddenly came over, pulled out a data cable from his wrist and was about to insert it into the slot on his neck, but he pushed it back.

"What the hell do you want to do? I'm not your prisoner, get out of here!"

He felt annoyed when he saw that the other party was trying to scan him directly via a data cable.

I'm not Zero, so don't fucking poke me with this thing.

"..."

Meredith stared at David for a while, then waved his hand to tell his men to give up the scanning and leave.

Suddenly the entire Tom's Restaurant became empty, and there were only the two of them left.

"Let's get straight to the point."

“…”

David just nodded and didn't reply.

Because of the other party's actions just now, his inner favorability has dropped to 0, and any lower would be hostility.

But even so, Meredith Stout still explained the contents of the commission to him in great detail.

In fact, it was very simple. It was just that the convoy and the cargo were intercepted by the Vortex Gang.

However, this incident caused her to become a hot topic in the city, and all kinds of rumors were flying around.

Even he, who is not very involved now, has heard of it.

Now, she wants to entrust David to investigate which idiot leaked the news, causing the military technology goods to be intercepted, and whether it was done by Anthony Gilchrist, that traitor.

Apparently, this woman had captured Anthony and interrogated him, just like in the game.

It’s a pity that this guy is just stubborn and has no intention of admitting it.

Because the convoy was equipped with prototypes of military technology, if they admitted it, they would be dead, and this matter was taken very seriously.

The most important thing is that few people know the inside story about this matter.

So now Meredith just hopes that he can find evidence.

However, David had no intention of getting involved in this mess and rejected the other party on the spot.

"I'm sorry, Miss Stout, I can't do anything about this matter. You should ask a private detective to find evidence. I'm just an unknown mercenary. And I don't want to get involved in the conflicts within your company, nor do I want to become a gun in someone's hands."

After saying that, he stood up from his seat and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

As soon as he took a step, Stout called him.

"Anything else, Miss Stout?"

David turned around slowly and said, but the smile on this angry woman's face gave him a bad feeling.

And so it is.

"David Martinez, as far as I know, you are not an unknown person, and I have heard many stories about you."

As he said this, Stott narrowed his eyes slightly, and dropped the half-smoked high-end cigarette on the ground, where it was crushed by his high heels.

He stood up from his seat and walked towards him with an imposing step.

"Just like you at first, you went to school at Arasaka Academy, and later you secretly installed a military-grade implant - the Sian Westin."

"Besides that, I also know that you have done a lot of work for the company before. You were the ones who did the Tanaka incident."

"And don't forget, even though it was that traitorous bastard Faraday who betrayed the company in the end, it was you and your people who took action against our military technology..."

乑“What do you want to say?”

After hearing the other party telling him about his past in detail, the smile on David's face disappeared and his face became as gloomy as water.

"I'm just warning you. The company remembers all the bad things you and your girlfriends did..."

"Are you threatening me?" A fierce light flashed in the depths of David's pupils.

"Threat?" Stout shook his head. "I don't like that. It's more like cooperation than a threat."

"Haha...cooperation..."

David took two steps back with an inexplicable smile on his face.

But the next second, his expression suddenly changed, and his arm turned into a shadow with a flash of white light.

Then Stout felt a chill on his neck.

"You stinky bitch, do you believe that I will make you shut your stinky mouth forever?"

“…Ha…hahahaha…”
