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

I don’t know if Rebecca couldn’t stand the loneliness anymore, so she asked first.

But he was met with David's nonchalant attitude.

"say what?"

David replied calmly, slowly stood up and walked to the refrigerator, took out a few cans of beer and placed them on the coffee table, then handed them to Rebecca who was sitting opposite him.

"Want to drink?"

"Thank you... No!"

Rebecca took the beer subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and slammed the bottom of the beer can on the coffee table.

The splashing hops suddenly overflowed from her mouth and flowed onto her hands.

The cold beer slowly slid down the back of her hand, but Rebecca didn't care at all and continued to glare at David.

"That's not what I want to hear!"

"Oh my, if you don't want to drink it, don't waste it. Look at how it's all over..."

He still had no intention of answering Rebecca's question directly, but instead used skillful words to perfunctorily answer it.

Then he opened a can of beer and started drinking it in big gulps, making a refreshing sound.

He completely ignored the girl's anger.

Normally, most people would not continue asking questions after seeing his attitude, even Lucy was the same.

But unfortunately, the person sitting opposite him was Rebecca, a stubborn and unyielding girl.

“David!”

Seeing his reckless attitude, Rebecca exerted a little force on the jar with her hand, and the jar was deformed with a squeak.

But the next second, Rebecca let go of the beer can and sank her whole body into the sofa again.

She knew that being angry was useless, especially with David.

No matter how she made a fuss or vented her anger, even if she blew the roof off the house, David would not be moved.

What's more, this matter won't get to that extent.

She just felt unhappy.

"I really don't understand why you would secretly conspire with that old lady to do something like this, and you didn't even bring me along. Aren't you being a little too mean?"

As Rebecca spoke, she glanced at Qiwei, who was standing in the corner smoking, and at Faraday, who was sitting near the window.

This was the version she heard, but she had a feeling that it was not the case at all and there must be a deeper reason.

Especially the relationship between Qiwei and Faraday, she knew it very well.

How could this old lady suddenly betray Faraday?

"Well, you know everything, don't you? And there's no reward for this operation."

David smiled and shrugged, picked up a new can of beer and took a sip, and continued: "What's more, you suddenly brought so many people to my place, and scared me a lot."

That’s right, Rebecca wasn’t the only one who came to his apartment.

There was also Falco, the driver, as well as retired Dolio, Mann, and even her uncoordinated brother Pyrrha.

It's like a trial by three judges.

In addition, there are Mowell and Jack who stayed here after completing their mission.

As for Sasha and Lucy, he placed them upstairs.

On the one hand, Lucy has not yet woken up, and on the other hand, Sasha's body can no longer move and she needs to rest.

Currently being taken care of by Misty.

To be honest, it was the first time that so many people came to his apartment.

If there were another old Wei and V, we could really take a family photo.

"Tsk, aren't you just worried that something might happen to you?" Rebecca pouted and looked away guiltily, whispering, "And the relationship between us, and mentioning compensation... isn't that a bit too formal?"

"Rebecca is right, David, it's a bit strange for you to say that."

Dolio, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Indeed, the relationship between Rebecca and him was more than just that of collaborators.

Rebecca has entrusted her life to him.

As long as David wants to do something, Rebecca will never be absent.

Everyone knows this.

David was well aware of this, so he didn't tell anyone about this matter for Rebecca's safety, but he didn't know which big mouth leaked this matter.

This resulted in Rebecca, the crazy little girl, coming to the door.

However, he naturally couldn't say anything about all this and could only smile.

But what he didn't know was that Rebecca had long been tired of that hypocritical smile, which even made her cross her arms in annoyance. But in the end, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked with patience:

"So what are you going to do next, David? You can't just tie this guy up and do nothing, right?"

In truth, Rebecca didn't know much.

All we know is that Faraday wants to use them, or David, as bargaining chips and hand them over to the company in exchange for benefits.

Apart from that, she wasn't very clear about the details.

And what the others knew was pretty much the same as what Rebecca knew.

But it was Mann who was most shocked.

He didn't expect that Faraday was such a jerk that he could even betray his former collaborators...

Although selling people and being sold out is not uncommon in Night City, especially for mercenaries, it is almost commonplace, but it is still a bit unpleasant when it happens to you.

So until now Mann just sat there without saying a word, drinking silently.

"As for how to do it... I already have a rough plan in mind. Now it all depends on whether Mr. Faraday chooses to cooperate."

David pointed to Faraday, who was serving as a cushion beside him, and the person who was guarding and sitting on it was Jack.

At first, Faraday tried to struggle and run away, but after being beaten several times, he became completely obedient.

But the mouth is still very hard, even harder than that of Peking duck.

Just like now...

"Hmph, I advise you to let me go immediately. I have already made a deal with the top brass of Arasaka. If anything happens to me, none of you will be able to escape."

Faraday slowly scanned the crowd with his three eyes and uttered harsh words.

The tone and arrogance showed no awareness of being a prisoner.

It is normal to think so, especially for Faraday. To him, the so-called middleman is the breeder who is responsible for feeding this group of cyberpunks and has his own holy light.

But now, the pet he raised had rebelled, and he felt a little ashamed and angry.

He was even thinking about how to take revenge on these ignorant guys once he ran away.

"We must have Arasaka send out troops to clean out everyone here, especially the traitor Qi Wei and this David Martinez. We must not let them go!"

As for being killed?

He didn't believe that these guys dared to kill him here.

Unless you don't want to continue living in Night City.

You know, killing a middleman has a huge impact on the mercenaries...

However, when David heard what this guy said, he couldn't help but shake his head and even almost laughed out loud in his heart.

High-level?

Can those people in Arasaka's counterintelligence department be considered high-level officials?

Even the famous V Zhentian was much more powerful than these guys, but in the end he was just a henchman working for Arthur Jenkins.

When will it be the turn of these guys to be in charge of Arasaka?

It's just that when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king...

He slowly stood up and walked to Faraday's side, nodded slightly to signal Jack to stand up, then squatted down, reached out and gently pinched Faraday's chin to turn towards him.

"Oh, my dear Cyber ​​God, Mr. Faraday is still very stubborn. I guess after you are cremated, besides the pile of ashes and mechanical parts, the only thing left is this mouth, right?"

"...So what? I don't believe you dare to touch me." Faraday responded in a harsh but weak voice.

But he obviously underestimated David.

Never mess with a sane madman, this applies everywhere.

"Ah..."

David chuckled when he heard this, let go of the guy's chin, sat on the ground and said, "Yes, you are right. I will not touch you now, but I am not sure about that in the future. You know, my patience is limited."

The corners of his mouth curled up into a heart-pounding smile.

His implication was simple. He would give the other party several choices. Whether he could survive depended on what Faraday chose.

As a veteran of Night City, Faraday naturally heard the hidden meaning and subconsciously asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, I just want to make a deal with you..."

-------------------------------------

The next morning, in the badlands outside Night City, the dazzling sunlight fell on the barren land, and the hot and dry sand slowly blew across the land.

In this land covered with yellow sand, you can clearly see the cracks on the land due to dryness.

This is the territory of the wanderers, and it is also a place that no company in Night City can reach. It can be said to be a lawless area.

Here, the forces are complicated. In addition to the wanderers who have wandered here, there is also the exclusive gang of the Evil Land - the Night Walker, and its subordinates, the Random Swords Society, which was exiled by the wanderers.

These guys are worse and more cruel than the gangs in Night City. Even the scavengers can't compare to them.

Because these guys do everything from reselling implants to robbing company goods, there is nothing they dare not do.

Moreover, what these guys love most is robbing each other of their own foes.

It is also because of this that no one dares to do business with this group of people.

But then again, it was precisely because the Bad Land was in such a mess that David appeared here at this time—

Standing on the hillside near the lodge.

Because he was planning to do a big deal here, intercepting the military-grade implant - Cybernetic Power Unit - shipped by Arasaka Corporation.

However, now he was holding a PDA in his hand and flipping through it.

Without him.

It was just because before they set off in the morning, Nancy sent him a call asking him to check the latest news from News Channel 54 at this time.

He did so. As soon as he opened the official website of News Channel 54, a piece of news caught his eye.

"Shocking, the best-selling painkiller from biotechnology actually has unknown fatal side effects..."

The layout of this news is very exquisite.

The word "Shocked" was written in extra-large scarlet font, and even had bleeding special effects art, which was very eye-catching.

In the column of the news reporter's name, the name "Beth Isis" was clearly annotated. Seeing this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"That's very Nancy style..."

While sighing, his gaze immediately turned to the Night City with tall buildings in the distance. He even seemed to have clearly seen the anxious look on the faces of those people in the biotechnology department.

Simply put, biotechnology is broken.

To confirm this, he also opened the stock trading website and looked at the stock price of biotechnology companies.

Just as he thought, biotech stocks are taking a big dive, falling off a cliff.

Refreshing every five seconds, you can see that biotech stocks are falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Simply perfect.

"But it's a pity that doing this won't be able to bring down the entire biotechnology industry..." David couldn't help but sigh again.
