Judy grabbed the edge of the bed and looked at the ground as she said this, her words clearly reaching Evelyn's ears.
"Judy..."
Evelyn was a little overwhelmed by the sudden rejection and didn't know what she had done wrong. It was not until she saw the hidden look in Judy's eyes that she seemed to understand something.
"Okay, then... let's wait until later."
Evelyn tightened her grip, then finally let it go.
Neither of them spoke, and this awkward silence lasted for a while. Both of them were thinking about their own things, and it was not easy for them to explain to the other.
"Is our relationship...over?"
Finally, it was Evelyn who broke the silence, saying these words lightly and casually, as if unintentionally.
Evelyn's words were not contextual, but Judy heard them clearly, and they weighed heavily on her heart.
She wanted to say no.
But when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
The final answer is still silence.
Judy also felt breathless. She always felt as if her brain was clogged with weeds. Many of her thoughts were blocked by the tangled vines and could not form a clear thought.
But one thing is certain: she no longer has the vague feelings for Evelyn that she once had.
"Ok, I see."
Seeing Judy like this, Evelyn turned pale and smiled miserably, and she understood everything.
Chapter 143: Night City’s Great Blessing, the Hive also has a round table meeting!!!
"Ok, I see."
Judy didn't refute, and she couldn't refute.
What a person must not deceive is his own heart.
She can't go back anymore.
"...Xiao Ai, pack some clothes. We need to go to Lizi to hide for a while. This place is no longer safe."
In the end, Judy chose to avoid the topic.
All meanings are contained in it.
"Ok."
Evelyn nodded and answered promptly.
She didn't ask why. Her trust in Judy didn't require her to pursue the matter to the end.
Her face once again showed the calmness that she had experienced after everything, and the smile on her face was no longer forced.
After going through so much, she has learned how to let go.
Although her relationship with Judy was completely severed, Judy was still her best friend and the person she cared about most in the world.
That was all she needed to know.
As for the rest, let the wind take it away.
While the two people with different thoughts simply packed their luggage and headed to Lizzie Bar, Bai Rui was also facing a choice.
This is the second day.
The tense yesterday is over.
By the end, there was no Tiger Claw Gang and no attack.
It seemed that what happened yesterday was over, but Bai Rui knew that everything could not end so easily.
Night City has never been such a simple place.
And today, in this building, in this "beehive" base camp, Bai Rui held an unconventional "shareholder" meeting.
After all, it seems that Lao Wei is the only shareholder.
The others are Bai Rui’s closest comrades-in-arms.
In the conference room on the third floor, a large metal round table was placed in the middle. Around the table, nine metal chairs were neatly arranged at a distance from each other.
The top one has an even taller backrest, and a hexagonal honeycomb logo formed by blue and white light projections floats coldly in the air, gazing at everything below it. Even the height of the seat seems to be a few points higher than the others. It is obviously the main seat, the position belonging exclusively to the boss of the beehive.
In short, this is a postmodern roundtable meeting with a strong sense of science fiction.
Bai Rui's aesthetic taste is hopeless.
What kind of Cyber Roundtable? Will there be an electronic King Arthur?
But no matter what, Bai Rui was very satisfied with the scene.
Now, Bai Rui and her close comrades have taken their seats at the round table.
The most eye-catching one is naturally Bai Rui, who is sitting on the main seat under the huge floating honeycomb icon.
Bai Rui, the most kind-hearted prosthetic manufacturer in Night City, specializes in taking advantage of the poor...ahem, serving the lower-class masses. At the same time, she is also the boss of the most dynamic emerging organization in Night City, "The Hive".
In short, no one knows her fame, and her achievements are limited.
Yeah, delete the part at the end, delete it.
And now, under her great glory, the "Beehive" organization is also full of stars, with wise counselors like rain and brave generals like clouds.
Although only four of the nine chairs were occupied besides Bai Rui, it seemed a bit empty.
But Bai Rui dared to guarantee that the person who could sit here was not only a capable man of the Hive, but also a prominent figure who could stir up waves anywhere in Night City.
Well, it is a scene full of vitality and everything is sprouting.
These heroes among the seats need to be mentioned one by one.
"The Wanderer Dragon" and "Barry's Sharp Blade" are named Valerie, also known as the famous V's V in the world.
"The Tiger of Heywood", "the strongest of the Wells family", Jack Wells.
"Doctor Iron Fist", "Owner of Victor Clinic", cyborg doctor Victor Victor.
"Dream Master", "Orgasm Modulator", Judy Alvarez.
These are the four capable men under Beehive. Looking at the faces below his seat, Bai Rui felt high-spirited, as if the sun and stars were right before his eyes and within his reach.
Even though the people sitting below might not know that they have so many nicknames and are so powerful, it does not hinder Bai Rui's spiritual climax.
She now felt that she was full of vigor and vitality, just like the Prime Minister Cao in the past, who was about to go to Chibi to wipe out the coalition forces of Sun and Liu in one fell swoop, and like the King of Wu Sun Quan, who led an army of 100,000 to the north to fight the enemy and was about to take Hefei in one fell swoop.
In short, it is unstoppable.
However, Bai Rui's mental fluctuations were so severe that no one was aware of them. Several people sitting below were hastily called over. Seeing that Bai Rui didn't say anything, they were all thinking about their own things in a bored manner.
V, who was sitting on Bai Rui's right, was tapping his fingers. He was looking at Bai Rui's chair, then at his own chair. He always felt that Bai Rui's chair was a few centimeters higher, otherwise how could his girlfriend be taller than him when sitting on it.
Jack, on Bai Rui's left, was simple-minded. He was holding his head up, thinking about what to eat for lunch, whether to have Chinese Kung Pao Chicken or a family bucket of hamburgers.
Victor, who was on the right of V, was thinking about the three operations he had to arrange in the afternoon. As for Judy, who was next to Jack, she was holding her hands, and her mind was conflicted, thinking of Evelyn and Platycodon at the same time.
But Bai Rui didn't know all this. She thought everyone around her was waiting for her to speak.
And she was ready to speak.
Ahem, Bai Rui cleared his throat before speaking.
"Everyone, today is not a meeting. It's just a casual chat among friends. Let's talk about the future development direction of the Hive and the expansion of the business."
"Secretary Zhu."
After finishing his opening remarks, which he thought was very impressive, Bai Rui suddenly called Judy.
Judy was stunned for a moment before she realized that Bai Rui was calling her.
But what is puzzling is, when did she become a secretary? Wait, that’s not important.
The important thing is, when did she change her surname to Zhu? Her name is Judy, okay? Even if it is her surname, it is Alvarez.
However, she was too lazy to correct Bai Rui's mistake.
After all, she had just settled Evelyn at Lizzie's Bar last night, which was not an easy task.
Evelyn used to be a member of the Mox Gang, but later left the gang and went to the Genting Club of the arch-rival Tiger Claw Gang, which made the Mox Gang members very dissatisfied.
Well, she said it bluntly. It was Susie, the leader of the Mox Gang, who had a grudge against Evelyn. She had put in a lot of effort to allow Evelyn to stay there.
When Judy heard Bai Rui calling her, she knew what was going on. She immediately took out her PDA and operated it for a few times. Suddenly, blue projection lines shot out from the middle of the round table, projecting a chart with financial statements and future development plans on the table.
This was what Bai Rui spent the entire afternoon yesterday to complete.
"As you can see, although we spent a lot of money to build this building, our prosthetic business is booming."
When everyone saw Bai Rui start speaking, they put aside their own thoughts and listened to Bai Rui carefully.
Although such a majestic chair can be sat on like a child's chair when sitting on the high seat, Bai Rui's words are still worth paying attention to.
After all, their little Bai Rui is still full of majesty.
After pointing to the rising curve on the chart, Bai Rui added.
"The people of Night City are very wealthy. The market potential in Chinatown and Kabuki District is still huge. We haven't fully tapped the market yet. Therefore, our prosthetic business is now stable and improving. The good days are yet to come."
"However, there are many interfering factors."
"The Mox Gang in Kabuki doesn't do prosthetic business and is even our target customer. That's not a big deal. The Uzumaki Gang in the north district is currently busy with internal strife and doesn't have the time to interfere with our business."
However, after the good things, the bad things are about to come.
Bai Rui slammed his little fist on the table and said through gritted teeth.
"It's the same old problem. The scavengers, these bastards, always try to get their hands on our trade. This involves money, and we can't tolerate it. This is no longer an ordinary threat, and we must strike hard."
After Bai Rui finished speaking, he looked at Jack on his left.
"Jack, we still have to put pressure on the scavengers. You and your brothers must break the scavengers' hands that are trying to reach into our territory. Also, warn those prosthetic doctors that they can only purchase supplies from us."
"Whoever messes with our cyborgs is messing with me, Bai. Tell them that."
Bai Rui spoke in an angry tone, patting his barren little chest like a gang boss.
"No problem, Bai Rui, leave it to me. We couldn't stand the scavengers when we were mercenaries. Now that we have so many brothers, we must destroy them."
Seeing Bai Rui speak, Jack patted his well-developed pectoral muscles to assure him. It is no wonder that Jack has a shrewd heart hidden under his honest big appearance.
His praise made Bai Rui very happy.
However, these are not just empty words.
The Beehive is now a medium-sized gang. After several rounds of recruitment, it has about a hundred people under its command. Although it is not as impressive as the giants such as the Whirlpool Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang.
But it is more than enough to take care of the scattered scavengers in these small Chinatowns and Kabuki districts.
Besides, Bai Rui's cheap prostheses are even cheaper than the second-hand ones sold by scavengers. Now that the prosthetic doctors have the Hive platform, they are scrambling to use it. Who would want to go against her?
After all, as a doctor, making money is the first priority, not to mention that there is less moral pressure in cooperating with Hive.
Besides, Bai Rui may not have enough low-end combat power, but with high-end combat power, he can easily defeat the scavengers.
She can clean out the scavengers' place by herself, let alone her own number one licker...general, V, who can kill several scavengers by himself, as easy as going out to buy vegetables.
The others, except Judy, are all first-rate fighters. Even Old Wei, who usually keeps a low profile, can easily do the work of 17 or 18 scavengers.
Lao Wei’s punch has the power of eighteen points of physical strength.
If he doesn't smash your head, he must have not slept well last night.
So, no matter how you look at it, the advantage is on me.
After talking about the scavengers, the next thing is the tricky stuff.
That was the Tiger Claw Gang that we offended yesterday.
Speaking of this, Bai Rui put away his playful attitude and became serious.
