on the square.

The situation of the confrontation has begun to become clear.

As a powerful middleman, Faraday still did not have the capital to challenge Arasaka's agent directly.

Facing Gloria's aggressive questioning, Faraday looked arrogant and finally chose to stay out of trouble and live alone.

His words and actions alone showed that he did not want to publicly offend Arasaka because of the entrustment of military technology.

Rather than being a middleman, Faraday wanted to seek a high position in a large company. This was the reason why he had been enduring the influence of military technology.

Only by entering a company can one become a true master.

Whether it was military technology or Arasaka, he didn't mind.

Farah's third level prosthetic eye flashed, thinking of how to end this confrontation that shouldn't have happened.

Gloria did not pay any attention to Faraday, but spoke in a cold tone, as if giving an order.

"Mann and I still have something to discuss. If you have nothing to do, you can leave."

She had no intention of holding on to Tanaka, because Tang Yu behind her did not tell him to continue to investigate.

The effect of using Tanaka's incident to suppress Faraday and letting Mann see that Arasaka is far more powerful than Faraday has been achieved.

When Faraday heard the words of expulsion, his hands in his trouser pockets clenched into fists.

But he has always been an experienced Taoist, and he will not show his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy on his face. In business, what matters is results, not words.

Since the Arasaka agent in front of him has no intention of pursuing Tanaka's matter, it means that the other party's backstage is not Tanaka's faction.

Faraday hesitated for a moment, turned his prosthetic eyes, asked the driver's bodyguard to open the door, and then turned around to leave.

Just when he was about to get into the car, he turned his head, stared at Mann with his triple prosthetic eyes and said.

"Our collaboration continues."

"Also, although she is not from the Tanaka faction, she is too close to Arasaka."

"Although I have some friendship with you, I advise you to be careful."

After saying that, Faraday got into the car, closed the door, and the burgundy car started slowly.

When passing by the Arasaka motorcade, Faraday paid special attention to the long sedan in the middle and secretly remembered it.

Tang Yu didn't care at all about a Night City middleman.

Faraday is not much of a character.

Poaching, robbing, and even kidnapping talents are common tactics used by companies.

Morgan Blackhand slaughtered a gang by himself, and that night Military Technology came to the door and invited him to join the secret team.

Ott Cunningham invented the basic program of Soul Killer, but was kidnapped and captured by Saburo Arasaka.

Faraday has long been registered with the Counterintelligence Department, and major companies have conducted targeted investigations on these middlemen in Night City.

If the company has a lot of dirty work that is inconvenient, it will choose to contact these middlemen to do it, and then entrust it to the cyberpunks on the street.

There are only a few among the very few who can dominate the Night City like Rogge, Queen of the Afterlife, run a bar uniquely and build a first-class information trading center.

However, before Rogge became the Queen of the Afterlife, he had more or less relied on the power of the company, and even cooperated with Adam Hammer.

Although Rogge has her unspeakable secrets, it is undeniable that it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in Night City without the company's acquiescence.

Seeing that Faraday took the first step, Mann also cursed secretly.

"Damn it, I stirred things up before I left."

Faraday's words are equivalent to pushing Mann to the opposite side of Arasaka.

Let Gloria know that Mann and military technology still have a chance to survive.

Mann then asked: "Gloria, what is going on?"

"Also, the one behind you must be him."

Mann was already 70% to 80% sure.

Gloria did not respond to Mann's question, but turned slightly to look at the motorcade behind her.

"I don't know what he thinks."

The man in the car has made no move or expressed his position so far.

Gloria figured that she should be allowed to continue.

She quickly regained her composure, and there was no need to put on airs with Mann, an old acquaintance.

In the contest with Faraday just now, she was completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum, which was considered a good start.

"It's not complicated."

"It's just that I have a commission for you to handle."

"The remuneration will be based on the market price. Help me find someone in Watson District."

"I know you are familiar with it."

Mann became increasingly confused.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of commission Gloria had, and the 30,000 euros she earned was earned from herself.

Mann turned his head and looked at Dolio and the others behind him, wanting to see the attitude of his teammates.

Dolio nodded, indicating that he could check the situation first.

Mann asked again: "What is the way to survive? Is it related to Arasaka Company?"

Gloria threw the micro-separation chip in her hand to Mann: "Look first, it has nothing to do with Arasaka, but it has something to do with the gang."

Mann caught the chip in his thick palm and inserted it into the biological nerve slot to read the information.

The Valentino Gang?

Riley Hein?

Missing?

Mann quickly understood the situation and found that the content of the commission had nothing to do with Arasaka Company.

"This commission is not too difficult, but you must clearly explain your relationship with Arasaka Company."

"And you know, I still have Faraday's job in my hands, and my target is Arasaka Company."

"If both ends take over, it will make the situation more complicated and difficult to deal with."

Gloria thought about this too.

Tang Yu did not choose to let her pursue the matter of Tanaka's vehicle, which shows that the two parties are not the same faction in Arasaka Company and there is no need to work for Tanaka in vain.

Moreover, Gloria was not qualified to intervene in the struggle between the top management of Arasaka Company, so it was the best way to just pretend that she didn't know everything and handle the things Tang Yu told her well.

"Don't you see what I'm doing?"

"Mann, don't overcomplicate things."

"It's the same as the rules just mentioned. You complete the commission and I will pay you."

"As for other things, don't ask more."

"And he has no intention of pursuing Tanaka, otherwise Faraday would not be able to walk out of this square."

"As for your cooperation with military technology, that's your own business, and I won't ask any more questions."

"If it attracts the attention of Arasaka's senior management, I can only remind you not to be too blind."

"I don't have any hostility towards you, including him. Please be assured of this."

Compared to Faraday's arrogant attitude, Gloria's tone was obviously more sincere.

Mann also gradually accepted the fact that Gloria had become a middleman, but she had just debuted. Even if she had the support of Arasaka's senior executives, she was nothing more than a puppet of the company.

"I know this. I can accept your request, but you..."

Gloria saw that Mann was in trouble. Apparently he felt that getting too close to Arasaka would inevitably lead to him getting burned.

"Mann, when you are willing to advance the transaction price, I know you are a loyal enough friend."

"This time it's my own choice. After all, in Night City, who knows whether tomorrow will be worse."

"Perhaps, if you give it a try, everything will take a new turn."

Hearing that Gloria was so indifferent, Mann couldn't persuade her any more.

Arasaka did not cause any trouble for himself during this trip, and Gloria just aimed her firepower at Faraday.

That cunning middleman, Faraday, took the trouble to himself when he saw that the situation was not good, which was extremely abominable.

Seeing that Gloria's life has taken a new turn, Mann, who has always been forthright, is also happy for her choice.

"You are right, in Night City you should work hard and have a try."

"I accept your tracing request."
