Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

evening.

The dappled twilight glow illuminates Santo Domingo in the evening.

In the apartment of the super skyscraper H4, the neon lights on the ceiling of the living room emit blue shadows.

Tang Yu sat on the main sofa in an extremely comfortable posture, with his suit jacket draped casually on his shoulders. There was a small half cup of brown-red whiskey on the glass coffee table in front of him.

Gloria's ponytail was a bit darker under the blue light and shadow. Even after taking a few sips of wine, she still looked reserved. Compared to Tang Yu's comfortable posture, it seemed like she was a guest.

The layout of her home has neither style nor taste, and is even a bit messy. If possible, she would like to invite Tang Yu to a high-end restaurant, even if it costs more, it will not let outsiders see the embarrassment at home.

She had done a lot of dirty work outside, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with being among the hard-working people. Inviting guests to her home like today was like shining a stage spotlight on herself. It's unbearable.

After all, Gloria couldn't hold back. Tang Yu sat on the sofa and neither talked about the prosthetic body nor asked for medical expenses or compensation. He just briefly talked about David's condition from beginning to end. This made her sit on pins and needles, so she forced a smile and asked.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, the apartment is indeed a bit shabby."

"Are you waiting for someone?"

Tang Yu did not answer directly, but talked about his past events.

"I've lived in an apartment like this before."

"I had nothing at that time, but luckily I met a good buddy and a true friend."

"Then something happened to my buddy. We were separated for a long time, so long that I almost forgot what he looked like. Fortunately, he came back."

“Sometimes I want to change things, but this city often makes you unable to do so.”

"And now you have an opportunity to change something."

Gloria heard Tang Yu's emotion and thought it was the reunion of his friends who had been separated for many years, so she felt a little emotional in her heart, but she didn't quite understand what kind of opportunity there was to change things, so she said.

"You saved David and I. This has changed a lot. Now, no matter what request you make, I actually have no room to refuse."

Gloria's expression showed helplessness. Poverty did not allow even one mistake in her life. Just one mistake was enough to destroy this already fragile family.

She took the initiative to get up and go to the table in the room, get the stolen military-grade Si'an Westan prosthetic body, and hold it in front of Tang Yu.

"To be honest, there is nothing left in this house now except that it is worth some money."

After saying that, Gloria took out a stack of banknotes from her body and placed it on top of the bag containing the prosthetic body.

Tang Yu visually measured the thickness of the banknote, which was about 20,000 euros. He did not reach out to pick it up, but said in a deep voice.

"Put the money away, I'm not here to collect treatment fees from you."

"In the final analysis, your and David's car accident was directly related to me."

at this time.

There was sudden movement in the bedroom room.

David stood weakly at the door of the bedroom, holding on to the door frame, looking at his mother and strangers in the living room.

When Gloria saw David waking up, she immediately hid the prosthetic body behind her back and said slightly panicked.

"David, you're awake, are you feeling better?"

David nodded, but his eyes kept falling on Tang Yu, with doubts and vigilance.

Gloria saw her son's doubts and quickly explained to David.

"This is Mr. Tang, he is the one who arranged for us to be hospitalized at the Trauma Team Medical Center."

David's expression relaxed a little. Tang Yu's figure gradually overlapped with the memory of the car accident in his mind. The person he saw at the last moment when he was about to fall into coma that day was Tang Yu on the sofa.

David whispered to Tang Yu: "Thank you."

As if he thought it was not enough, he added: "I will repay you in the future."

He was used to suffering and was not used to receiving favors from others, especially when the other party was from Arasaka Company. In his eyes, those people in Arasaka were all arrogant and looked down upon others.

He and his mother must repay this life-saving grace, but they are so poor that they can't even run a washing machine and cannot afford to pay back this huge sum of money.

Moreover, he didn't know why he felt severe pain in the left side of his waist, just like the pain of kidney removal in his dream. If he hadn't woken up and found that there were no surgical wounds, he would have really suspected that he had undergone kidney removal surgery.

The pain and tiredness I felt when I woke up from the dream were as heavy as the real experience, and it was overwhelming.

Gloria saw that David's attitude did not seem to be correct, and knew that his resistance and stubbornness towards Arasaka were still strong and persistent. She wanted David to apologize, but when she saw her son's weak expression, she gave up in her heart.

Gloria had no choice but to look at Tang Yu, and then spoke sincerely for David.

"Sorry, please forgive me. After all, David just woke up from a coma. We are really grateful to Mr. Tang for your life-saving grace."

As Gloria apologizes.

Sudden.

The apartment door was suddenly blasted open from the outside, and the three of them all looked at the door.

I saw a tall, muscular black man walking in at the head, wearing a golden airplane head and long-rimmed sunglasses, with an unfriendly expression.

Next to him was a fierce girl wearing a hollow jacket, and standing at the back was a bearded man with thin arms and legs wearing sunglasses.

It wasn't until all three of them entered the room that they finally walked into a tall girl with a mask who was wrapped in a dark red leather jacket.

Gloria exclaimed.

"Mann?!"

When the burly black man in the lead saw the prosthetic body packaging bag and a stack of banknote-like packages hidden in Gloria's hand, and seemed to be giving them to the 'noble young master' next to him, his thick voice said coldly and unkindly. asked.

"You haven't answered the phone and are missing. Do you want to give him the prosthetic body you sold to me? Don't you know the consequences of not keeping your word in this business?"

At this time, the tall woman in red leather next to her covered her temples with one hand, stared at Tang Yu and said calmly.

"He has no prosthetic body installed and cannot read any information."

Mann remained silent and still looked at Gloria and the others coldly. If the other party did not hand over Sian Westan today, action would be absolutely inevitable.

Gloria quickly stood in front of Tang Yu and explained eagerly: "It's not what you think! This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Tang! The reason why the delivery was not delivered is because David and I had a car accident yesterday. !”

Mann remained expressionless: "Then since you're awake, why haven't you answered the phone or come to me? I've already advanced the money to you."

Because he trusted Gloria, he transferred 30,000 euros into the other party's account in advance, but disappeared on the day he agreed to the transaction, which made him feel like he had been let down and deceived.

Faced with Mann's questioning, Gloria was in a dilemma and didn't know how to explain the matter. It wasn't that she didn't want to give the things to Mann, but Tang Yu had never agreed, but she couldn't return the 30,000 euros. Give it to Mann, because she really needs this money right now!

With David watching all this, she really didn't know how to explain this matter. If David knew about her stealing the prosthetic body, it would make him even more embarrassed in front of his classmates!

"This is all my fault."

Just when Gloria was praying that the matter would not get too big and was about to take over all the problems on her own, she heard a voice behind her.

"Gloria, it has nothing to do with you."

"Mann, I want to discuss a business deal with you."
