Seeing that V agreed so readily, Ling Luxian naturally couldn't be stingy.

"Okay, when are you free, let's get together and bond."

V rolled his eyes. "Come on, use the things that are forward facing instead of backward facing. I haven't had time recently. The Abernathy incident has become a big deal and I'm busy lately. Also, I don't know what's wrong with Militech recently. They've been keeping an eye on us."

Hearing that Arasaka had already learned about it and that Military Technology was secretly investigating them, Ling Luxian frowned slightly. He was still thinking of taking this opportunity to attack Arasaka again. Now that Arasaka was under martial law, he didn't want to end up losing more than he gained.

But isn't the Abernathy incident over yet? That's right, Ling Luxian hasn't seen the system settlement yet, which proves that it's not over yet. But this time there's a good chance of getting rich. It would be unfair if the reward wasn't generous after making such a big fuss.

"Since you are so busy, I won't disturb you. Let's make an appointment later~" Ling Luxian winked.

"Eh~ That's disgusting."

V quickly hung up the phone, picked up the eye drops beside him and put them into his eyes. It was really stinging.

"Uh...is it that disgusting?" Ling Luxian looked at Gloria blankly.

In his opinion, it is normal for boys to pat each other's buttocks as a joke or make funny faces to each other.

A wink would have been enough of just a laugh and a scold, but looking at V's expression, it seemed like he was really disgusted.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and Gloria naturally doesn't think so.

"No, I don't feel disgusted." But Gloria thought about it and said, "Well, it's actually a little bit disgusting."

As he spoke, he pinched his thumb and index finger together to make a "ruhan" gesture.

I don’t know if there is a universe hidden in her fingertips.

"Disgusting?" Ling Luxian was confused.

I can only say that it was a joke between same-sex friends. But once the genders change, the nature of it is different and it is indeed a bit vulgar.

Maybe in Ling Luxian's opinion, V is not considered a woman.

But Ling Luxian didn't dwell on these things anymore. They were good brothers, so how could she take them seriously?

Ling Luxian said to Gloria proudly: "Look, the problem is solved."

It would have been fine if Ling Luxian hadn't said anything, but as soon as he did, Gloria felt lost.

"Am I... am I useless?"

She didn't understand what the meaning of her hard work was. She had endured for more than ten years to finally have a little hope. But in Ling Luxian's hands, it was all done with just one phone call.

Ling Luxian had no choice but to continue to comfort her: "It's not your fault, but this world is sick, just like what an old friend of mine once said.

He has watched Night City become a machine that feeds on people's broken spirits, broken dreams, and the blood and sweat of the people. He wants to change all that, and so he fights it."

Gloria leaned on his shoulder and listened. She felt that the story was a bit idealistic, but it was indeed very exciting.

So he asked, "What about the others?"

Ling Luxian spread his hands and said, "It turned into ashes. 'I turn my body into fire', that's what he thought and what he did."

Isn't it turned into ash? Who can leave a whole body under the mushroom bomb?

But it was worth it as Arasaka Kei and other Arasaka elites were buried with him.

It's just a pity that there is no successor. The people in Night City no longer have that punk spirit. This is also the reason why Ling Luxian mocked them and called himself cyberpunks.

A bunch of cattle and horses, and they are called cyberpunks. Even Rogge doesn't dare to call himself a punk, but they dare, haha...

Gloria said with a worried look on her face: "Then don't do that."

She knew that Ling Luxian was not a peaceful person, but she was just a little woman who just wanted to live a good life, so she didn't want Ling Luxian to do anything dangerous.

Ling Luxian naturally didn't want to do that. What a joke! He was already one of the company's major shareholders and enjoyed many privileges.

He is eager to strengthen Kangtao and suppress other companies to maximize his own interests.

Besides, he is not a saint and cannot exchange his own life for that of others.

"I promise you, I won't do that." Ling Luxian said seriously to Gloria.

With Ling Luxian by her side, she felt at ease and could think normally now.

Perhaps she was a little too harsh on David.

All the kids who grew up in Night City were smart. Apart from his mother's perspective, David was indeed a little dull compared to other kids of the same age.

This kind of stupidity does not mean that he is stupid, but that he is ignorant of the ways of the world and does not even understand the basic rules of society.

Gloria thought that maybe it was time to give David some freedom.

When we got to the place, we parked the car somewhere.

"Ma'am, please get out of the car."

Ling Luxian performed a gentlemanly salute and opened the car door for Gloria.

Gloria held Ling Luxian's hand and felt a little embarrassed in public.

A faint blush appeared on her face, and she whispered to Ling Luxian: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

For a moment, she thought the world revolved around them.

Looking at the people coming and going, Gloria hid from their sight like a wounded little animal.

However, this was her illusion. Pedestrians were hurrying by, busy with their own affairs, so how could they have the mood to pay attention to others?

"Don't worry, no one is paying attention to us."

Ling Luxian patted the back of her hand and comforted her.

Gloria felt relieved when she heard him say that.

However, what he said was not entirely true, as they had been targeted.

Ling Luxian didn't notice and walked with Gloria. Looking at the big goldfish floating in front of her, Gloria leaned on the railing of the overpass and said, "It's so beautiful."

Although Gloria had been here many times, she had never noticed how beautiful this place was.

Perhaps it’s because of my different mood that I feel so amazed at this moment.

Ling Luxian smiled and said, "What you think is beautiful, others may have already become tired of it."

Gloria nodded. "Maybe."

Looking at the towering Arasaka Tower, she no longer had the obsession she had in the past and felt that it was not that great.

Once people lose their reverence for something, they will find it boring.

She pointed at Arasaka Tower and said, "It seems that place is not so sacred after all."

"Maybe the filter in your heart is broken." Ling Luxian said with a smile.

There was a figure behind them, and as Gloria pointed at Arasaka Tower, she seemed to be hostile.

At this moment, Ling Luxian seemed to sense something was wrong and looked around hurriedly.
