Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 16 Must-Talk Transactions

Gloria faced Mann and the others anxiously. No matter how much she tried to hide the deal with Mann, David, who was standing aside, could see the clue.

David saw a group of strangers in front of him suddenly burst open the door and rushed to his home, with a bad tone that looked like a debt collector, and from the questioning of the black and strong man, it could be heard that it was related to the prosthetic body transaction.

"Could it be that the mother hacked the other party's money, but did not deliver the goods, so the other party came to the door, but where did the mother get the prosthetic body? How did she get involved with the senior management of the Arasaka company?"

He had too many questions in his mind, trying to figure out what happened, but the tense atmosphere at the scene prevented him from opening his mouth.

Gloria noticed David who was hesitant to speak, and felt very anxious. If she talked about this matter in front of David, she would not be able to hide everything she had done.

"No, David must not know!"

She deeply understood David's personality and stubbornness hidden in the deepest part of his heart. If David knew that he was stealing things, he would rather die than go to Arasaka Academy.

at this time.

Tang Yu's words almost pulled her back from the brink of helplessness.

"It has nothing to do with Gloria."

"Mann, it's me who wants to talk business with you."

"How about going out and finding a suitable place to talk?"

Gloria turned her head to look at Tang Yu, her eyes full of gratitude.

She didn't expect that at this time, Tang Yu would take the initiative to take over the conversation, covering up the truth that was about to be exposed for herself, and Tang Yu rescued herself at the most embarrassing time.

Mann did not directly refuse, but asked rhetorically.

"Who are you, what have you to do with this matter, why do you want to negotiate a deal with you?"

Although Mann looks like a black and strong cyberpunk man, he always charges ahead and experiences countless bullets, but he is not reckless in his life.

So when faced with Tang Yu's proposal, he didn't reject it immediately. He just wanted to get the prosthetic body and leave, and didn't want to get involved in other disputes.

Gloria took the initiative to explain and introduced: "Mann! I didn't mean to delay the transaction or embezzle your money. I originally planned to complete the transaction that day, but there was a serious car accident on the highway!"

"Mr. Tang saved us. Both David and I have just been discharged from the hospital. There is no time to go to you to explain this matter."

"As for Mr. Tang's identity, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, he is my benefactor. At worst, I will return the money from this transaction to you! I won't sell the thing!"

Gloria is worried that Mann, who is a cyberpunk, is very sensitive to Tang Yu's identity as a high-level employee of Arasaka Company. If a conflict breaks out, it may even endanger Tang Yu's life.

Waiting for Mann and the others to come here is part of Tang Yu's plan. After receiving the reminder from Lucy, he already knew that Gloria had sold the Swan Westan prosthetic body to a Saiyan named Mann. Bopunk, since the other party has come to the door now, there is no need for Gloria to continue to protect her. The sincerity and choice can be seen from her performance just now.

Tang Yu left the sofa, walked up to Gloria, and looked directly at Mann and the others.

"It's up to you not to make this deal."

"I can give you this prosthetic body."

"But there is only one fate for you."

"That is death."

It was easy to say this sentence from Tang Yu's mouth, but it sounded like Mann's heart tightened a bit.

He is not very sure now, he is not sure how deterrent the other party is in this sentence, how true or how watery, but the tone is obviously more explosive.

"Don't try to play tricks, I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking."

Mann ignored Gloria's eager explanation, but just looked at Tang Yu and continued to guess: "You are from the company."

Obviously Mann roughly guessed Tang Yu's real identity from Tang Yu's clothes and Gloria's nervous performance, but it is not clear what kind of background Tang Yu is in the company, even if it is a company dog, there are differences in size, If it was just an ordinary employee of a small company, Mann would have nothing to worry about.

When Mann asked this sentence, the other companions around him also frowned at Tang Yu, equally curious about his true origin.

While everyone was waiting for Tang Yu to reveal his identity, a faint voice came in from outside the door and answered everyone's questions.

"Arasaka Company."

"Deputy Minister of Counterintelligence."

The voice just fell.

Lucy quietly walked into the apartment with a cigarette in one hand.

Her answer immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and she did not expect that the other party would be like this.

Mann looked back at Lucy who looked calm and asked, "How do you know his identity?"

Faced with Mann's questioning, Lucy just lowered her eyebrows and exhaled a circle of smoke, as if the matter in front of her had nothing to do with her, and continued.

"He's right. If you put on this prosthetic body, you will definitely be watched by the company like a giant lizard. They will collect your body until you are killed by this prosthetic body."

A tall, masked woman in a red leather jacket asked in a serious tone, "What does this have to do with the company?"

Lucy raised her neon eyes, and looked straight at Tang Yu standing in front of her expressionlessly.

"I don't think you want to continue talking about this matter in this place, Mr. Tang?"

When Tang Yu saw Lucy tell his true identity, he already knew that the other party had read the contents of the chip. It was about the conversation between himself and his boss Jenkins, but the content involved was not deep, because he had the habit of changing the storage chip frequently Generally speaking, the content in the chip will not last more than 48 hours, so what she knows is limited.

Tang Yu put on his upper body suit jacket and walked straight to the damaged door, passing by Mann and said lightly.

"Don't stand still, take the things."

At this time, Gloria heard Tang Yu's words, after thinking about it, she handed the bag in her hand to Mann, which contained the military-grade Swan Westan.

Mann took the bag, but he didn't expect that the prosthetic body would be obtained in this way. He is not an arrogant and unreasonable person. Now that the things have been obtained, he has no reason to find trouble in other people's apartments. It's a bit embarrassing.

"I didn't expect you to have a car accident. It was my fault for kicking your door just now. I will pay you for the repair costs. Sorry!"

After speaking, he transferred two thousand euros to the other party, which was enough to repair the door and pay the rent of the apartment for one month.

But Gloria didn't care about the door. Instead, she handed the stack of papers wrapped in Oujin to Mann: "You can take back the money for this transaction first. Please don't embarrass Mr. Tang. You [-], I will transfer it to you from the account later."

Gloria's actions made Mann a little bit embarrassed. The other party was obviously repaying Tang Yu's life-saving grace. A weak woman would rather be poor than drag others down. In fact, Mann still appreciates such a move from the bottom of his heart. Yes, at least he was willing to advance the transaction fee at the beginning because he valued Gloria's credit and quality.

Mann took the money and nodded in agreement, and then said to the bearded man with slender hands and feet, "Pyla, you broke the door of the apartment just now, and you are responsible for repairing it, otherwise you will lose the golden hand prosthesis." Forget it!"

Pila was not happy immediately, and hurriedly said impatiently: "Mann, obviously you made me explode, I said you didn't do it if you knocked on the door well, and now you want to throw me on the head when something happens. remember!"
