Chapter 68 Talking to Mann

This guy is quite smart. He actually brought up the commission as an excuse.

It would neither damage his own prestige nor prevent Ling Luxian from making trouble.

As expected of a middleman, he has a very active mind.

Ling Luxian narrowed his eyes and looked around. Seeing that everyone was ready to watch the fun, he gave up the idea of embarrassing Faraday.

After all, it's okay to have fun watching, but it's not okay to become the fun.

Besides, he had to give Roger some face. Otherwise, if the old woman kicked him out, it would be very bad.

Even though Rogge looks kind now, he is still a ruthless person.

"I have no interest in your commission."

But Faraday was very interested in Ling Luxian, this ruthless man.

After all, he is a guy who dared to break into the company building and succeeded. His fighting ability is not bad.

He wanted to compete for the position of leader in Watson District, but he happened to be short of a general.

As for Mann?

Faraday's four eyes looked at Mann and felt that Mann was still unreliable.

Apart from anything else, the prosthetics hanging all over his body might destroy him at any time by the terrorist squad.

This kind of person puts all kinds of prosthetics on his body, and it is not surprising to see the tragedies caused by it. Moreover, this kind of behavior shows that he has certain psychological trauma and lacks a sense of security.

This kind of person has prosthetic parts all over his body and is mentally unstable. Sooner or later he will become a cyber-psychopath, and the onset will be very quick.

Looking at the person in front of us, we can see that he is very cautious about installing prosthetics, at least he does not install them on a large scale.

The hacker is highly skilled and very capable, exactly what Faraday needs.

Faraday sat down next to Ling Luxian and said seductively, "As long as you accept my commission, you can negotiate the commission. I have a lot of high-quality commissions here, which will definitely suit your taste."

Ling Luxian drank the wine in the glass, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Without even raising his eyes, he said, "I don't want to talk to the middleman who keeps key information from the mercenaries. I'm waiting for Regina Jones, leave immediately."

Ling Luxian looked down on those middlemen who ignored the lives of mercenaries for their own safety. No matter how big a person is, he looked down on them, and here he specifically mentioned Wakako.

It's common for that old guy to sell out mercenaries, but unfortunately, because of his fame, a bunch of mercenaries flatter him, and each of them is like a filial son or grandson.

As for Faraday, he had no intention of selling out the mercenaries. It was only because of the benefits, or the cost was not high enough.

To put it bluntly, middlemen are just brokers, and there is no need to raise their status so high.

Once their interests are infringed upon, mercenaries are just stepping stones.

David and the famous V are examples of this.

"Uh……"

Faraday's eyelids trembled slightly. This guy really doesn't understand the ways of the world.

Can't you even say "please"?

Faraday had long been unhappy with Regina, who was competing with him for the leadership of the Watson District.

What's so good about that bitch Regina? All the mercenaries flatter her.

If I had known he was Regina's mercenary, I wouldn't have made things difficult for myself.

If Ling Luxian knew what he was thinking, he would have spat in his face.

She has clear information, doesn't cheat, and most importantly, is sincere. Who are you to compare with Regina?

"Well, here's my business card. If you want to take on a commission, you can always give me a call."

Faraday knew that he would not call him, so he did not bother himself any more. With a little reluctance, he stood up and left the bar.

If you don't leave now, the status you have maintained with great difficulty will be lost.

As he walked, he secretly cursed Ling Luxian for being ungrateful.

Mann watched his middleman walk out of the bar like a drowned dog, feeling mixed emotions.

Mann sat next to Ling Luxian and patted him on the shoulder.

"I say, he is the middleman after all, you should give him some face! We may not see each other when we look up, but we will see each other when we look down, so at least show some kindness."

Ling Luxian shook his head and didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

But Mann's image has changed a lot, and his body has shrunk.

"How did the inspection at Old Vina go? How much is your humanity value?"

"Alas~" Mann sighed, "It's not optimistic. The humanity value remains at 64%. I'm almost a cyber lunatic."

Ling Luxian nodded. This was only because Mann was strong enough. If someone else installed prosthetics like him, they would have become cyber-psychopaths long ago.

"Didn't Lao Wei take any measures for you?" Ling Luxian asked.

"Of course."

Mann asked the bartender for a bottle of beer, gulped down two mouthfuls and then said: "I have to say that Dr. Victor is the kindest doctor I have ever met in Night City. He advised me to reduce some of the prosthetics, but I disagreed."

"And then?" Ling Lu asked.

"He said that the prosthetics I installed were too complicated. Even if I didn't reduce the specifications, I had to install some genuine prosthetics. You know I don't have much money, so this is naturally impossible. But you know what?..."

Mann gulped down a few more sips of beer and praised Victor under the influence of alcohol, "When Doctor Victor heard that I was your friend, he helped me upgrade my prosthesis for free, and said that I would give him the money when I had money.

There aren't many people like Dr. Victor. Others don't care whether you live or die. They just want to take the money out of your pocket. In Night City, it's not surprising that people die one day. Dr. Victor is willing to upgrade my prosthesis for free..."

As he was talking, the tough guy Mann was actually moved to tears.

Fortunately, Mann came alone to discuss business, and he didn't even call Dolio, otherwise it would have been so awkward.

Besides, Mann didn't like anyone on the team to come into contact with Faraday.

It's not because of interests or anything else, it's simply because I think Faraday is not a decent person.

But there is no way, since they are the middlemen, there is no way to avoid contact.

But to be honest, there are not many people in Night City who are willing to help others.

Even the old captain, although he is kind and generous, if he helps you, you have to repay the favor as soon as possible, because he doesn't like to be in arrears.

According to him, Night City waits for no one. After all, it is normal for someone to die in Night City.

But the same is true in reverse. If the old captain owes you a favor, he will repay you as soon as possible.

Ling Luxian patted Mann on the back and said, "Lao Wei is such a person. As long as he approves of you, he will treat you well with all his heart.

If you really feel bad, then hurry up and make some money! Why not pay Lao Wei back as soon as possible? "

Soon Mann calmed down, wiped his snot bubbles with his sleeve and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Not only that, Doctor Victor also integrated my system to make the various prostheses run more smoothly. I have to say, Doctor Victor's craftsmanship is absolutely amazing!"

As he spoke, Mann gave a thumbs up.

"Need I say more?" Ling Luxian nodded in agreement.

"Now, my prosthetic value is maintained at around 76%. I feel a lot more relaxed throughout my body."
