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

He even insulted me.

"This brat..."

I immediately called Qi Wei...

However, what Faraday didn't know was that David didn't need him as a middleman at all, let alone such a high-priced commission.

Do you really think he is a beggar on his knees?

Do you really need the food that Faraday is giving you?

If you really need money, why not just go to Rogge?

Rogge is the most powerful middleman in Night City. Isn't he better than Faraday, a company licking your boots?

He chose to come here today, firstly to give face to Qi Wei, and secondly to humiliate this guy.

But in reality, it seems that the effect is not so good...

"Well, who cares? As long as I feel good, that's all that matters."

71. Why don't you play by the rules? (7K)

"Qiwei, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I won't accept the commission from that guy Faraday."

In the elevator, David was communicating with Qiwei.

To be honest, he didn't expect Faraday to act so quickly and persistently, and even bring Qi Wei out as a lobbyist.

Just as he was about to get home, Qi Wei called him.

"Why? Faraday is also our old customer, and the rewards for his commissions are not low. We are mercenaries and it is enough for us to complete the commissions and make money."

"Remember a few months ago, you were still busy running around to make money, constantly looking for various middlemen, right?"

On the phone, Qi Wei's voice was still as lazy, but it was the first time she said so much.

And it was exactly the same as what Qiwei said.

A few months ago, after joining the Terrorist Squad, he worked hard to complete commissions almost every day, and even completely drained Regina Jones and the priest.

It is also because of this that he has achieved such a high level of fame and has built the most resounding reputation in the shortest time.

At the same time, a lot of fatigue has accumulated, but I didn't notice it.

Even Lucy felt distressed when she saw him at that time.

But David shook his head after hearing this.

"Qiwei, you still don't understand."

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. It's natural that you can earn a lot of money if you work for a company, but there is also the risk of being targeted by the company."

"Especially the fight between two companies, like the current one between Arasaka and Militech, it's best for us not to get involved in their affairs, otherwise we might become pawns in their hands at any time, and the kind that can be sacrificed at will."

"There's one more thing you need to remember, Miss Qiwei. Faraday is not a trustworthy person. Don't wait until you're sold out by him before you regret it."

However, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

The elevator on his side just reached the top floor.

"Well, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully, Qiwei."

The communication was disconnected.

Qi Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the scene of the city of desire in front of her. The colorful neon lights were so dazzling that they seemed to make her vision blurry.

"Faraday...can't be trusted?"

He carefully chewed over the last words David said to him before he hung up.

"This is not like you, Qiwei. Don't forget that you can't trust anyone in Night City. Otherwise, it's your own fault if you get betrayed..."

The focus of Qi Wei's eyes gradually changed. She stared at her own reflection in the glass and spoke as if she was preaching.

It was not until now that she realized that she seemed to have taken Faraday's matter too seriously.

He even forgot the survival rules he set for Night City.

However, she made such a rule because of her past experiences.

Just like what she and David had said -

“Aren’t all so-called cyberpunks refugees from a shameful life, or dreamers who have lost themselves in their pursuit of a distant ambition?”

Even she is no exception.

Likewise, he is a refugee from a shameful life.

It's just that she doesn't want to mention the past anymore...

At the same time, David has returned home, to a duplex villa on the top floor that is like a sky garden.

There is a helipad and swimming pool outside, and the interior decoration is luxurious, which is no worse than those single-family villas in North Oak District of Westbrook.

In the game, this was where V lived after he became the king of the city, and where he spent time with Judy and Panam, but now it is his and Lucy's love nest.

It took him a lot of money to buy this house, and he also used a lot of connections to buy it, almost emptying his family's savings.

But fortunately, it was successfully won...

"Welcome home."

"Ah, I'm back."

David responded subconsciously when he heard this, then turned around and looked up the stairs.

Lucy was standing there naked, leaning on the railing of the stairs. Her slender yet plump body and her soft breasts were all taken in his eyes.

The fine water droplets on the smooth skin glowed slightly under the light.

"You came back very late today." Lucy slowly walked down from upstairs, took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen and handed it to him.

"Well, a lot happened today..."

He took the bottle of wine and took big gulps, as if to vent the frustration and fatigue in his heart.

The familiar carbonic acid irritated his throat, causing him to cough again.

Seeing him like this, Lucy chuckled and asked, "Why, is it about your boss, Miss Melissa Rory again?"

Lucy also heard a lot about Melissa from David.

For example, she is a violent crazy woman who uses heavy hands on everyone, but she inexplicably cares about her subordinates.

Or maybe he was taking extra care of David, from a physical point of view.

"It's part of her, but not all of her."

David shook his head, picked up the bottle again and took a sip, then lit a cigarette and smoked quietly: "Today, I saved a cyber madman."

"?"

Lucy tilted her head slightly when she heard that.

It is really rare for David to save a cyber madman. Except for the request of the middleman Regina Jones, David rarely shows mercy to a cyber madman.

And judging from the way things looked today, it was not at all what Regina had asked for.

But she had no intention of asking questions, she just listened quietly as a listener.

It's like a qualified wife listening to her husband's complaints when he comes home from get off work.

To be precise, except that they are not married yet, they are indeed a newlywed couple.

At least that's what they think.

And for them, the love between two people does not have to be confined to a piece of paper.

"That man is called Mower. He is a lieutenant in the special forces of Militech. Due to too many military-grade implants installed on his body, and the overload of some components, he has turned into a cyber madman."

"But fortunately, Lao Wei rescued her in the end."

"Really?" Lucy's voice became more subtle, but more of it was a smile: "So what are you going to do with her? Let her join the Terrorist Mobile Team? I remember that you are the only member of your non-staff team, right?"

"That's true, but I don't want Moer to join the Terrorist Squad, so I temporarily placed her in my home in Saint Domingo."

David said this and took another puff of his cigarette. The curling smoke made his eyes blurry. "I think this Lieutenant Mower can have other uses."

"What is it? A beautiful girl hidden in a golden house? Or the one with colorful flags flying outside?" Lucy couldn't help but joke.

There was absolutely no hint of jealousy in his words.

Because she trusted David and believed that David would always love her, and that was enough.

What's more, it's not like she doesn't know that she has competitors.

At least Rebecca was one of them.

As for the other Melissa Rory, she couldn't be sure.

After all, he is a former cyber madman, and no one knows what he is thinking.

But it is true that there is special attention paid to David.

The most important thing is that this is Night City, a city full of desire.

Moral principles and the like don't seem to be so applicable here, but relatively speaking she herself is still quite traditional.

However, her words were met with a roll of the eyes from David.

"What is this? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Isn't it?" Lucy asked back.

"Tsk, of course not." David turned his head away and stopped looking at Lucy.

But Lucy burst into laughter as loud as silver bells.

I even laughed so hard that my stomach hurt.

As always, she was happy to see David suffer at her hands, just like now.

For them, this is their unique way of getting along with each other, and it has never changed.

After laughing for a while, Lucy finally stopped and continued to ask: "Besides that? What else happened today?"

"As for the rest... it's nothing."

David slowly raised his head, stared at the ceiling and said thoughtfully: "Tonight, I received a commission from Wakako Okada."

"Huh? Is it Wakako Okada from the Tiger Claw Gang? Doesn't she have a bad relationship with you?" A look of surprise appeared on Lucy's little face.

"Yes, but today I was inexplicably given some commissions."

David said as he took another sip of his wine and made a soothing sound.

"The content of the commission is quite simple. A young lady from a wealthy family was intercepted by the Uzumaki Gang, and we are responsible for rescuing her."

"It's just that a newcomer was shoved in and claimed to be my fan."

"However, due to his carelessness, this Mr. Fan was blown into a fan sauce by the Uzumaki Gang's bomb." David shrugged helplessly.

"What's that?"

This humorous way of explanation made her laugh.

"Well, that's what happened."

As he said this, he immediately looked carefully at Lucy beside him.

Lucy naturally noticed his gaze and did not avoid it at all, even puffing out her chest.

As she moved, her body swayed slightly.

"Why, do you want to do it?" he asked in a somewhat charming voice.

This voice and this gesture are simply enough to make one's blood boil.

But David shook his head: "No, I'm a little too tired today, but no matter how many times I look at it, it feels so beautiful..."

"Hmm~" Lucy hummed in pleasure.
