Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 77 Characters
on the square.

The confrontation situation has begun to become clear.

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

Facing Gloria's aggressive questioning, Faraday looked arrogant, and finally chose to put aside the trouble and be alone.

His words and deeds showed that he did not want to publicly offend Arasaka because of the commission of military technology.

Rather than being a middleman, Faraday wants to seek a high position in a large company, which is why he has always endured the arrogance of military technology.

Only when you enter the company can you become a real master.

Whether it's military technology or Arasaka, he doesn't mind.

Farah's third prosthetic eye flickered, trying to figure out how to end this confrontation that shouldn't have happened.

Gloria didn't care about Faraday at all, but said in a cold tone, as if giving an order.

"Mann and I still have something to talk about, there's nothing else you can go"

She didn't intend to hold on to Tian Zhong's matter, because Tang Yu behind him didn't confess to continue to pursue it.

Using Tanaka to suppress Faraday, let Mann see that Arasaka is far more powerful than Faraday, and the effect has been achieved.

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

But he, who has always been a veteran of the city, will not show his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy on his face. What matters in business is the result, not the words.

Since the Arasaka agent in front of him didn't plan to pursue Tanaka's affairs, it means that the other party's backer is not from Tanaka's faction.

Faraday hesitated for a moment, and the aperture of the prosthetic eye turned to let the driver's bodyguard open the car door, then turned and prepared to leave.

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

"Our collaboration continues."

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

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

After speaking, Faraday got into the car, closed the door, and the wine-red car started slowly.

When passing by the Arasaka convoy, Faraday paid special attention to the long-carriage main car in the middle and secretly remembered it.

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

Faraday is hardly a character.

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

Morgan's black hand slaughtered a gang by himself. That night, Military Technology came to the door and invited him to join the secret team.

Otto Cunningham invented the soul killer basic program, and was kidnapped by Saburo Arasaka.

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

Many dirty jobs in the company are inconvenient, so they will choose to contact these middlemen to do them, and then entrust them to cyberpunks on the street.

It is one of the very few who can dominate the Night City like Rogge, the queen of the afterlife, run the bar independently, and build a first-class information trading center.

However, before Rogge became the queen of the next life, he more or less relied on the power of the company, and even cooperated with Adam Heavy 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 Faraday take a step ahead, Mann cursed secretly.

"Damn it, you still messed around before you left."

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

Let Gloria know that Mann and military technology are still alive.

Only then did Mann ask, "Gloria, what's going on?"

"Also, the one behind you is him, right?"

Mann already has [-]% to [-]% certainty in his heart.

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 person in the car has not moved or expressed his position so far.

Gloria estimated that she should be allowed to continue.

She quickly regained her composure, and she didn't have to put on airs for her old acquaintance, Mann.

In the contest with Faraday just now, she has completely overwhelmed her momentum, which is considered a good start.

"It's not complicated."

"That is, I have an entrustment for you to handle."

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

"I know you are familiar."

Mann became more and more confused.

He really couldn't imagine that Gloria had any entrustment, and the thirty thousand euros she earned was still earned from himself.

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

Dorio nodded, indicating that she could check the situation first.

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

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

Mann caught the chip with his thick palm, and then inserted it into the biological nerve socket to read the information.

Valentino Gang?
Riley Hine?

Missing?

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

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

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

"If you have two jobs, it makes things complicated."

Gloria thought about it, too.

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

Moreover, Gloria is not qualified to intervene in the struggle between the top management of the Arasaka company, so it is the best solution to act as if everything is unknown and do what Tang Yu explained.

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

"Mann, don't overcomplicate things."

"It's the same as the rules just said, if you complete the commission, I'll just pay the reward."

"As for other things, don't ask too much."

"And he has no plans to pursue 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 too much."

"If it attracts the attention of Arasaka's higher-ups, I can only remind you, don't be too blind."

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

Compared with Faraday's arrogant attitude, Gloria's tone is obviously more sincere.

Mann also gradually accepted the fact that Gloria became an intermediary, but she had only just debuted, and even with the support of Arasaka Company executives behind her, she was just a puppet of the company.

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

Gloria saw Mann's embarrassment, obviously he felt that if he got too close to Arasaka, he would inevitably get burned.

"Mann, when you are willing to pay for the transaction in advance, I know that you are a friend who is generous enough."

"This time is my own choice. After all, in Night City, who knows if tomorrow will be worse."

"Maybe, give it a try, everything will have a new turn."

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

Arasaka did not embarrass himself in any way during this trip, and Gloria only aimed at Faraday.

The cunning middleman Faraday, seeing the situation is not good, throws the trouble on himself, which is extremely hateful.

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

"You're right. In Night City, you should work hard and break through."

"I accept your tracing request."
