Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

On Sunday, it gets dark.

In the Westbrook neighborhood, bright squares are covered with densely packed buildings.

On both sides of Sakura Street, advertising lights lit up, and various vendors began to shout.

There are many modified cars gathered in the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store.

Conspicuously.

There was also a smashed company car parked in a corner not far away.

Many people gathered around the three food stalls to enjoy the music, beer and snacks.

Mann, as usual, sat in front of the car with his thick hands folded across his chest.

But now he didn't have time to laugh, chat and have fun with Pyrrha and the others.

The small square returned to a lively atmosphere. Mann's expression was a little heavy, and his eyes kept focusing on the damaged black car.

After a short break, Mann decided to complete the commission assigned by Faraday and steal the car navigation data of a senior executive of the Arasaka Company.

So together with Dolio, we made another appointment with Qiwei, Pyrrha, Rebecca, and Lucy.

The mission went very well at first.

They target the limousine's exclusive bodyguard and driver, Maxim.

Based on Maxim's boxing hobby, a detailed plan was designed to lure him into the pit step by step.

But God's calculations are worse than those of people.

When the mission reached its most critical moment, an accident occurred on Maxim's side.

In order not to waste everyone's efforts and successfully get the reward, Mann had no choice but to seize the car by force.

After a fierce chase, they finally got the navigation data.

They also snatched Arasaka Company's limousine back and threw it into the corner of the small square.

Although Faraday's commission was completed, vehicle navigation data was successfully stolen.

But the matter was so big that Mann was still a little worried. That guy Faraday was not easy to talk to.

Mann has sent the data to Faraday, but has not yet received a payment in return.

Apparently, Faraday had something to say about the matter.

While Mann was thinking alone.

A burgundy limousine slowly drove into the small square from far away and stopped in front of Mann.

Faraday opened the door and got out of the car, wearing a burgundy suit that showed nobility and luxury.

He put one hand in his pocket and glanced coldly around with his triple prosthetic eyes, finally stopping on Mann.

The appearance of Faraday immediately attracted the attention of Dolio, Qiwei and the others.

Pyrrha and the others also stopped laughing and chatting, and looked at Faraday with solemn expressions.

Mann adjusted his long-rimmed sunglasses and had a bad feeling when he saw that Faraday had found this place in person.

"hateful."

He stood up and walked over to Faraday.

"I said, what I want is navigation data, not the car."

Faraday looked unkind, and his words were cold and dissatisfied.

Faced with such questioning, Mann confirmed his inner guess.

They had obviously tried their best to complete the commission, and Faraday still had the same attitude.

"We got the navigation data, which is consistent with your request."

Faraday said solemnly: "The condition I opened is that the action be cautious and concealed, and must not cause Arasaka to be alert."

Mann knew that this commission was not completed beautifully, but who could guarantee that every mission would be carried out perfectly without accidents.

If we move faster and more decisively, maybe the mission can be completed covertly.

He couldn't help but think of the implant.

'It would be nice to have that military-grade Sian Westan. ’

Mann responded: "The navigation data has been obtained. We have done our best to deal with unexpected situations. No one can guarantee that this kind of fucking thing will not happen!"

Faraday ignored Mann's feelings and continued to press.

"My purpose in collecting the navigation data of this Arasaka limousine is to find the places where the owner of the vehicle frequents."

"If you are alerting the enemy now, it will definitely arouse the other party's alert. These navigation data have been invalidated. He may have changed his location long ago."

Mann asked: "The owner of this car is Tanaka. What is he doing knowing where he is going?"

Faraday coldly refused: "You don't need to know. Doing what you should do is what you should care about."

Mann was very unhappy: "Asshole, you don't tell me any necessary information, how are we going to do anything?"

Faraday remained calm: "The less you know, the lower our risk."

"You should and must understand this."

"Paying you a reward is not to let you make your own decisions, but to ask you to obey my instructions and complete the task step by step as required."

"Don't think that just because you provided transaction information and made a plan last time, you think you can use your brain blindly."

Mann frowned when he heard him mention the transaction that night, and looked at Faraday.

Mann always kept the account of that incident in his mind.

How did Faraday communicate intelligence with Military Technology, and how much remuneration he received from Military Technology.

Mann really wanted to know how the four-eyed middleman in front of him almost killed him step by step.

"What do you want?"

Faraday remained expressionless as he continued to scold.

"This operation was a failure. Arasaka Company should have noticed this."

"We must wait for the target to lower its alertness and then find another opportunity to act."

"I hope you will pay attention and don't act recklessly!"

"There are many cyberpunks who can work in Night City. You have to figure out your own strength and positioning."

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future!"

"Understand?!"

Mann's eyes were filled with anger, but he did not dare to openly break up with Faraday.

As a middleman in Night City, Faraday is quite powerful.

Relying on military technology behind it, whether it is remuneration, intelligence, commissions, etc., they are all first-class.

Being able to regularly issue commissions of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, is enough to show that Faraday has a wide network of contacts and clever methods.

In Night City, it is very rare to meet a rich and trustworthy middleman who is always available for work.

Mann also knows many more powerful middlemen, such as Rogge, the queen of the afterlife whose reputation is known throughout Night City.

But Rogge's commissions were usually given to trusted acquaintances and would not just fall on the hands of street mercenaries.

As a leader, Mann also had a team to support. Facing the powerful financial backer Faraday, he could only hold back his temper and listen to his lessons.

Faraday saw that he seemed dissatisfied, so he lectured condescendingly.

"I give orders and you obey them, that's the rule."

The words just fell.

A black motorcade had already entered the small square and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The logo displayed by the team is all too familiar.

Arasaka Company?

The motorcade slowly stopped, and the door of the Arasaka company limousine in the middle opened.

"rule?"

I saw.

A lady stepped out of the car wearing red high heels, her gorgeous wine-red ponytail tied behind her head, her eyelashes were like fire, and her eyes were like burning eyes.

"I would like to hear what other rules there are in the middleman business!"
