Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 73 Rules
On Sunday, it was getting dark.

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

On both sides of Cherry Blossom Street, the advertising lights were lit up, and all kinds of vendors began to shout.

In the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store, many refitted cars gathered.

Conspicuously.

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

Many people surrounded the three food stalls, enjoying the world-renowned music, as well as the happiness brought by beer and snacks.

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

Now he has no time to be with Pila and the others, laughing, chatting and having fun.

The small square regained its lively atmosphere, Mann looked a little heavy, and his eyes kept falling on the damaged black car.

After a short break before, Mann decided to complete the commission assigned by Faraday to steal the car navigation data of a high-level Arasaka company.

So together with Dorio, make a new appointment with Qiwei, Pila, Rebecca, Lucy and the others.

The mission went very well at first.

They targeted the exclusive bodyguard and driver of the limousine, Maxim.

According to Maxim's boxing hobby, he designed a detailed plan to lure him into the pit step by step.

But people are not as good as heaven.

When the mission was at its most critical moment, an accident happened on Maxim's side.

In order not to waste everyone's efforts and successfully get the reward, Mann had to forcibly seize the car.

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

The limousine of the Arasaka company was snatched back by them and thrown into the corner of the small square.

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

But Mann was still a little worried when things got so big. That guy Faraday was hard to talk to.

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

Apparently, Faraday had something to say on the matter.

While Mann was thinking alone.

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

Faraday opened the car door and got out of the car. His whole body in a burgundy suit showed nobility and luxury.

With one hand in his pocket, the triple prosthetic eyes glanced coldly around, and finally stopped on Mann.

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

Pila and the others also stopped laughing and chatting, and looked at Faraday solemnly.

Mann adjusted his long-rimmed sunglasses, seeing that Faraday had come here himself, he had a vague premonition.

"hateful."

He got up and walked to Faraday.

"As I said, what you want is navigation data, not a car."

Faraday's expression was unkind, his words were cold and dissatisfied.

Faced with such questioning, Mann confirmed his inner guess.

They had clearly tried their best to complete the commission, but Faraday still had this attitude.

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

Faraday said in a deep voice: "The condition I asked was to act cautiously and covertly, and absolutely not to alert Arasaka."

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

If the action is quicker and more decisive, perhaps the mission can be completed in secret.

He couldn't help but think of the implant.

'If only there was that military-grade Swan Westin. '

Mann responded: "The navigation data has been obtained, and we have tried our best to deal with the unexpected situation. No one can guarantee that such a fucking thing will never happen!"

Faraday ignored Mann's feelings and continued to press.

"My purpose of collecting the navigation data of this Arasaka limousine is to find the places where the owner of the car often goes."

"If you start to scare the snake now, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. These navigation data have been invalidated, and he may have changed places by now."

Mann pressed: "The owner of this car is Tanaka, who knows what he's going to do?"

Faraday coldly rebuffed: "You don't need to know, doing what you should do is what you should care about."

Mann was very upset: "Bastard, what are we going to do if we don't tell you any necessary information?"

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

"You should and must understand this."

"Paying you is not for you to make up your own mind, but for you to follow my instructions and complete the task step by step according to the requirements."

"Don't think that you can use your brains if you provided transaction information last time and made a game."

Mann frowned when he heard him mention the deal that night, and stared at Faraday.

Mann has always kept the account of that matter in mind.

How did Faraday communicate with military technology, and how much money he got from military technology.

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

"What do you want?"

Faraday remained expressionless and continued to scold.

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

"We must wait for the target to lower their vigilance, and then look for an opportunity to act again"

"I hope you 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 position"

"I don't want this to happen again"

"Understand?"

Mann's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to really break up with Faraday publicly.

As the middleman of Night City, Faraday is quite capable.

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

The ability to often issue tens of thousands, even 10,000+, or hundreds of thousands of entrustments is enough to show that Faraday has a wide network of contacts and clever means.

In Night City, it is very rare to meet a rich and trustworthy middleman who can often have jobs.

Mann also knows many more powerful intermediaries, such as Rogge, the Queen of the Afterlife whose reputation resounds throughout Night City.

However, Rogge's entrustment is often arranged for trusted acquaintances, and will not just fall on street mercenaries.

As a leader, Mann still has a team to support, facing the powerful middleman Faraday, he can only hold back his temper and heed the lesson.

Faraday seemed to be full of dissatisfaction when he saw him, so he taught him condescendingly.

"I give orders, you follow orders, that's the rule"

The voice just fell.

A black convoy had already driven into the small square, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The logo displayed by the team is all too familiar.

Arasaka Company?

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

"rule?"

I see.

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

"I'd like to hear, what are the other rules in the middleman business?"
