Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 16 A must-negotiate deal

Gloria faced Mann and others uneasily. No matter how much she tried to conceal the transaction with Mann, David standing aside still saw the clues.

David saw a group of strangers in front of him suddenly burst open the door and rushed into his home. Their tone of voice was bad and they looked like they were debt collectors. From the questioning of the strong black man, he could tell that it was related to the prosthetic body trade.

"Could it be that Mom hacked the other party's money but failed to deliver the goods, so the other party came to her door? But where did she get the prosthetic body from? And how did she get involved with the senior management of Arasaka Company?"

He had too many questions in his mind and wanted to figure out what happened, but the tense atmosphere at the scene gave him no chance to speak.

Gloria noticed David who was hesitant to speak, and felt extremely anxious. If she brought up this matter in front of David, she would not be able to hide anything she had done.

"No, we must not let David know!"

She deeply understood David's personality and stubbornness deep in his heart. If David knew that he had stolen things, he would rather die than go to Arasaka Academy.

at this time.

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

"This has nothing to do with Gloria."

"Mann, I want to discuss a business deal with you."

"How about we go out and find a suitable place to talk?"

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

She didn't expect that Tang Yu would take the initiative to take over the conversation at this time and cover up the truth that was about to be exposed for herself. Tang Yu saved herself from the situation when she was most embarrassed.

Mann did not refuse directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Who are you? What does it have to do with this matter? Why should I negotiate a deal with you?"

Although Mann looks like a dark, muscular cyberpunk who always charges forward and endures countless hails of bullets, he is not reckless in his conduct.

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

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

"It was Mr. Tang who saved us. David and I were just discharged from the hospital, and we didn't have time to go to you to explain this matter."

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

Gloria is worried that Mann, as a cyberpunk, is very sensitive to the identity of Tang Yu's senior staff at Arasaka Company. If a conflict breaks out, Tang Yu's life may even be endangered.

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

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

"You have no choice but to make this deal."

"I can give you this prosthetic body."

"But there is only one end for you."

"That's death."

This sentence came out of Tang Yu's mouth easily, but Mann sounded really nervous.

He was not very sure at the moment. He was not sure whether the other party's words were intimidating, truthful or watery, but his tone was obviously more explosive.

"Don't try to play tricks. I think there is no 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 true identity from Tang Yu's clothes and Gloria's nervous expression, but he still didn't know Tang Yu's background in the company. Even company dogs can be divided into big and small. If he were just an ordinary employee of a small company, Mann would have nothing to worry about.

When Mann asked this question, other companions around him also looked at Tang Yu with raised eyebrows, equally curious about his true origin.

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

"Arasaka Company."

"Deputy Minister of Counterintelligence."

The words just fell.

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

Her answer immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and they did not expect that the other party would have such an identity.

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

Faced with Mann's questioning, Lucy just lowered her eyebrows and blew out 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 wear this prosthetic body, the company will definitely watch you like a giant lizard until you are killed by this prosthetic body and then come to collect your body."

The tall masked woman wearing a red leather jacket asked in a serious tone: "What does this matter have to do with the company?"

Lucy raised her neon eyes and looked 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 telling her 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 was not deep because he had the habit of frequently changing storage chips. , generally speaking, the content in the chip will not be retained for more than forty-eight hours, so the content she knows is limited.

Tang Yu put on his suit jacket and walked straight towards the damaged door. Mann said lightly as he passed by.

"Don't be stunned, pick up the things."

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

Mann took the bag and didn't expect that the prosthetic body would be obtained in this way. He was not an unreasonable person. Now that he had obtained the items, he had no reason to cause trouble in other people's apartments. His rough voice sounded Looking a bit embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to be in a car accident. It was my fault that I kicked in your door just now. I will compensate you for the repair costs. I'm sorry!"

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

But Gloria didn't care about the door. Instead, she handed a stack of paper parcels to Mann: "You can take back the money from this transaction first. Please don't embarrass Mr. Tang. There's still time to go." You have 10,000, and I will transfer it to you from my account later.”

Gloria's move made Mann feel a little sweaty. The other party was obviously repaying Tang Yu's life-saving grace. A weak woman would rather be poor than drag others down. Mann actually appreciated this move from the bottom of his heart. Yes, at least he was willing to advance the transaction fees in advance 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 next to him: "Pila, it was you who opened the apartment door just now. You are responsible for repairing it, otherwise you will lose the golden hand prosthesis." Forget it!"

Pyrrha was immediately unhappy, and said hurriedly: "Mann, it's obviously you who asked me to explode, but you still didn't do it when I told you to knock on the door. Now that something has happened, you want to blame me. I'm the one responsible for this." remember!"
