Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 26 Olive Branch

Night City.

Westbrook North Oaks, Stone Mountain.

This is a new high-end residential area spearheaded and funded by Arasaka. Most of Arasaka's senior executives will buy properties here even if they don't live there often.

North Oak District has the largest number of high-income groups in Night City. The green environment is comfortable and pleasant, and the spacious villas are separated into courtyards. It has attracted many wealthy investors, elite executives, celebrity musicians, etc. to purchase real estate.

In a Japanese-style mansion on Stone Mountain, a high-end black car from Arasaka Company was parked in the parking lot. The driver and bodyguard Maxim was standing outside the car door waiting for his boss, with a helpless expression.

Maxim looked at his watch. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. The entry time for the boxing match he had booked was already wrong. However, he could only suppress his irritability and wait for the boss to go out.

Today is the day for Maxim's boss and his only son to have dinner. The two fathers and sons rarely see each other due to work and school, so they make an appointment every week to go out for dinner and exchange information.

Finally, the wooden door of the Japanese-style mansion was opened by a servant, and a father and son walked out of it. The older, middle-aged man was burly and wore long black sunglasses. The younger son, who had shoulder-length short hair, followed respectfully.

"Mr. Tanaka, please get in the car."

Maxim quickly opened the back seat door, welcomed his boss and young master into the car, then walked around the front of the car and ran to the driver's seat, closed the door, and was ready to go.

"Mr. Tanaka, which restaurant should I go to for dinner tonight?"

"ember."

Ember Restaurant.

After Tang Yu said that he had something to talk about alone.

Gloria raised her head slightly and looked at him with some confusion. She thought that apart from stealing the prosthetic body, there was nothing that she needed to talk about alone without telling David. So she picked up a piece of sushi and put it in her mouth, concealing the uneasiness in her words. asked.

"What to talk about?"

Tang Yu picked up the wet tissue and wiped his hands and said lightly.

"Talk about your future."

Gloria's pupils dilated instantly. There was sushi wrapped in her mouth. When she heard this, she immediately stopped chewing. She had no idea that what Tang Yu was going to talk about was his future.

But her eyes quickly returned to calmness and even looked a little depressed, and she said with a forced smile.

"Mr. Tang is serious. I don't have any future. I can just do a few more jobs so that David can graduate from Arasaka Academy smoothly. I'm already satisfied."

Gloria felt that unless something unexpected happened and she happened to catch up, there might be a chance to turn around in the future, but even if there was such an opportunity, she would rather give it to David.

Tang Yu could see that she no longer had illusions about her future. Day after day of fatigue and frustration had caused the woman in front of her to lose all possibilities, and she could only try to realize the beautiful career life she imagined. In David, let David embark on the path she once dreamed of.

But the more people fall into a trough, the more they lose clear thinking about themselves. In Tang Yu's view, Gloria's ability and character should actually go far beyond this.

In the process of arguing with the principal of Arasaka Academy, trying every means to obtain the Sean Westan prosthetic body, and dealing with cyberpunk to complete the transaction, he completely demonstrated his independent and responsible style.

She could still make money by dealing with many complicated forces by herself, and even supported David to study at Arasaka Academy on her own. If it hadn't been for this car accident, her deal would have been successful.

Therefore, Gloria successfully won Tang Yu's attention. Compared to her, David can only be regarded as a legendary boy who has not grown up.

So, Tang Yu decided to give Gloria a chance, an opportunity that could change her and David's lives.

"Are you interested in being a middleman?"

Tang Yu went straight to the point and extended his olive branch. If Gloria showed any signs of flinching, the olive branch would be broken.

In his view, life is a big adventure. Opportunities are fleeting and no one will always stand around waiting. The same is true for Gloria.

When Gloria heard the intermediary invitation, she was even more shocked on the spot, and unconsciously covered her mouth to avoid screaming.

She never expected that what Tang Yu wanted to talk to her alone was to invite an intermediary to cooperate.

Gloria understands the concept and weight of middlemen in Night City all too well.

Live by intelligence, rely on connections as life, rely on credibility as bottom line, and take advantage of both sides.

If you do it well, you can become a legend like the Queen of the Afterlife, Roque Armandius, and hold the true power in the Night City.

Moreover, this invitation was proposed by Tang Yu, deputy director of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department, which means that it is backed by the Arasaka Company, the strongest company in Night City, and will be top-notch in terms of intelligence, remuneration, and resources.

However, Gloria understands the stakes better. If she chooses to accept the invitation, then she, who is powerless and powerless, will completely become the other party's vassal.

Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer losses. They may even become a chess piece abandoned by the opponent at any time.

So far, heaven or hell, it all depends on the other person's thoughts.

But when Gloria looked at Tang Yu, she still agreed decisively without hesitation.

"Okay, I do!"

Tang Yu was a little surprised. He wanted to give the cautious Gloria some time to think, but the other party responded firmly and simply, not like the behavior of a gambler.

"You can think about it for a while."

Gloria categorically refused, but said with serious eyes and determination.

"I trust you."

"If there ever comes a time."

"I believe you will let David go"

Tang Yu laughed dumbly. It seemed that this woman was still afraid of herself from the bottom of her heart. Thinking about it, how could a company dog ​​throw away meat for no reason? If he did, he would have to hide his hook, but this was exactly what he wanted.

Intermediary cooperation should not be mixed with extra emotions. Any intermediary who takes entrustment as the highest criterion and can settle things is a good intermediary.

Seeing Gloria's statement, Tang Yu stopped testing, and instead raised the cocktail on the table to invite Gloria, and Gloria raised her glass in the same manner.

Two glasses clashed.

Ding!

“Happy to work with!”

“A pleasure to work with.”

The two drank it all and emptied the bottom of the glass, announcing their official cooperation.

David, who was in the buffet dining area, glanced at them with his peripheral vision and found that the two seemed to be talking quite harmoniously. His mother did not ask Mr. Tang for her own affairs, which made him feel better.

He didn't want to owe another favor after he had just owed it. If so, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in front of Mr. Tang.

"Oh, at least I accepted the gift box."

Just as David was thinking about how to face his benefactor Tang Yu, he accidentally saw a very familiar figure walking in from the main entrance of the restaurant.

And that figure seemed to know him right when he entered the room. He just glanced around and immediately stared at David who was in the buffet area.

Two surprised glances collided instantly.

Tanaka Katsuo?

David Martinez?

The two of them didn't expect the other to appear here at all, so they each had their own surprises in their eyes.

Tanaka Katsuo put his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes gradually changed from surprise to surprise, and even the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile, and he took the initiative to raise his right hand and waved to him.

The middle-aged burly man next to him noticed that his son was moving, so he looked in the direction where he greeted him. It was a boy about the same age as Tanaka Katsuo. He was sitting in the buffet area with a plate and stared blankly at the boy. No impression at all.

"Are they your classmates in the academy?"

Tanaka asked in a deep tone while wearing long sunglasses.

Tanaka Katsuo smiled brightly and said excitedly to his father Tanaka.

"Yes, we are very good friends in the academy!"

It is expected to resume three updates this weekend!

Thanks to the ADKiss boss for another big reward!

The collection has exceeded 700!

I am very, very satisfied with this result in Dian Niang!

Not a eunuch!

Not a eunuch!

Not a eunuch!

I don’t want to lose my character!

After all, Dian Niang is the eternal white moonlight in my heart!

The storm cries!
