From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

His steps paused slightly, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart: How come I can run into "celebrities" everywhere? It's too much of a coincidence.

He has a punk hairstyle with shaved sides and a wildly flared middle.

David Martinez is a handsome young man wearing a half-worn leather jacket and looking very energetic overall.

The pretty red-haired woman next to him was obviously his mother, Gloria Martinez.

I didn't expect to meet this mother and son here.

Leo pushed open the door, nodded to David in a friendly manner, and passed by the mother and son in silence.

He had suffered because of his recklessness at the hands of V, so when facing these "plot characters", he was able to control his inner excitement and not do anything that a stranger should not do.

David was obviously a little absent-minded. He had his eyes open but no one knew what he was thinking about.

Gloria nodded in response to Leo on his behalf, as a greeting to this rich boy who might be her son's future classmate.

There was no further exchange of words between the two sides, as they walked calmly in two different directions.

Only after walking several dozen meters and leaving the admissions office far behind did V ask in a barely whispered voice, "Do you know that mother and son?"

Leo continued walking forward: "Let's find a quiet place first."

The two walked around the open area on the first floor for a while, and finally found an empty rest area. They sat down with a bottle of drink each.

Nobody: Chapter 47 Leo: "Back then, I had a big fight with V Zhentian, and it was hard to tell who won!"

"Do you know that mother and son?"

V's tone was more affirmative than questioning.

Leo nodded, then shook his head: "I just think that boy has good potential, maybe he can be used as a thug."

V rolled his eyes. "Ordinary families grit their teeth and send their children to Arasaka Academy so that they can study to change their fate and get a decent job. But you want to kidnap someone and use him as a thug... Are you still a human being?!"

"What does it matter? Working for the company is working, and working for me is also working. I won't deduct his salary." Leo took a sip of soda water. "Besides, a thug can continue his studies and become a high-IQ thug!"

He glanced at V, wondering if she was the legendary Three Wise Warriors.

V's fist started to harden again. This look was really rude!

After two days of observation, Leo had a certain understanding of V's character. He immediately changed his plan and began to stroke his hair: "Don't you have a strong intuition? What do you think of that mother and son?"

V's thoughts were diverted by him, and he seriously recalled the mother and son——

"Judging from his physique and temperament, the boy should have good physical fitness and is well educated. He is obviously different from those neglected kids on the street. It is difficult to tell from appearance whether he has potential or not unless his physique is different from that of an ordinary person."

"That mother was supposed to be an emergency medical technician at the medical center. The yellow jacket she was wearing was the uniform there. But that person gave me a feeling of... not being clean."

V pondered, carefully recalling the red-haired woman's temperament: "Yes, she is not very clean. It's not that she is a bad person, but she may be mixed with the black and white worlds, and occasionally do some private work. This is normal in Night City."

Leo looked at her with new eyes: "You can see that?"

He knew Gloria because he had seen the "plot" and knew that she would occasionally steal prosthetics from corpses in exchange for money.

But V really could tell so many things just by taking a few glances.

This intuition is really a bit weird...

V was so proud that he forgot about the unpleasantness that happened just now.

"I can also see that their financial situation is not optimistic. It may not be easy to support the boy to go to school."

"really……"

Leo threw away the empty bottle and ended the topic.

David is a subordinate that he is very optimistic about. As long as he waits quietly for the plot to begin, he will have the opportunity to save Gloria and make David owe him a huge favor.

Then he took him under his command, spent money to deepen his favor, and finally got a loyal gold medal fighter.

That's how the script is written!

The two rested for a while and left the Arasaka Building.

Everything else here is fine, except that there are too many people coming and going, making it difficult to talk.

Walk out the door and retrieve your weapons.

V ignored the fearful looks of passers-by and played with his beloved gun for a while before putting it back on his waist: "Finally... I feel like I'm not wearing any clothes without a gun in my hand. I don't feel at ease at all."

Hearing this, Leo imagined what V would look like without clothes, but before he could think through the details, he noticed a murderous gaze.

"What are you thinking?"

"What should I eat for lunch today..."

"You better be thinking about that."

V clearly didn't believe him, but intuition wasn't omnipotent after all. She could feel that Leo was thinking about something bad, but she couldn't be sure what it was.

Leo was afraid that she would think too much, so he changed the subject and said, "It's still some time before noon, why don't we go to the square for a walk?"

"What's there to see?" V said reluctantly.

"It's all here."

Leo used one of the four great magics passed down from ancient oriental countries.

Outstanding effect!

V was affected by this spell and nodded hesitantly.

So Leo took her to the center of the square.

The two admired the huge koi projected in the air for a while, bought two cups of coffee, and found a bench like other company people, enjoying the relaxation and leisure unique to the wealthy area.

Of course, Leo might be the only one who likes this feeling.

V was fidgeting and itchy all over.

Not to mention that the environment here was incompatible with the lower-class neighborhood she was familiar with, just the couples around her who were flirting with each other made her feel uncomfortable.

Especially since they happened to be a man and a woman, and they happened to be sandwiched between this group of couples...

"I say... why are you sitting here like an idiot? Go for a walk and go back home after dinner."

"Isn't it good to enjoy a moment of leisure and feel the peace of mind?"

Leo tried to talk some philosophy.

"Speak human language!" V raised his fist.

"I can't have a conversation with someone of your low cultural level..."

"Yes, you have a high level of education. How long can you cry after getting punched?"

Although the two quarreled, V still had professional ethics and did not beat up his employer.

Leo's plan to get closer to her failed miserably, so he had to change his tactics.

It turns out that if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.

At least V buys into this.

As she ate the authentic Chinese food, her mood quickly became better.

"This is different from the Chinese food in Little Chinatown, it's quite delicious!"

Leo nodded and ate what seemed to be an improved version of General Tso's chicken, an "authentic" Chinese dish...

After dinner, the two returned to their apartment in the Highwood area.

It was just one o'clock in the afternoon. Leo thought for a moment and took out the two sets of protective clothing: "My body has almost recovered. You can teach me some fighting skills."

"Are you sure?" V's mouth corners slowly curled up.

Leo found her attitude a little bad, but he really needed some practical training to enhance his combat ability.

"I'm... sure. I can't be completely powerless and be taken hostage at any time."

"That's a good idea. I won't be polite then."

V's smile fully blossomed as he put on blue boxing gloves.

After eating, I stretch my muscles and hit the sandbags. What a wonderful life!

"watch out!"

V pounced on him like a tiger coming down the mountain.

Left hook, right hook, spinning kick, crotch--

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Leo ran away in fear, holding his head. "You are too wild, how can you use such a despicable move!"

V shrugged, "What do you think street fighting, or more realistic close combat, is like? Of course, it's all about how much damage you can do and how quickly you can take down the enemy."

"If you hold your head to defend, I will hit your feet. If you expose your weak spots, I will of course strike you accurately. This is a real battle, the enemy will not show mercy to you!"

"Are you still going to fight? If not, then take a break. As soon as I saw your reaction of closing your eyes when you were beaten, I knew that you lived in too safe an environment before, and you may have never even had a fight.

If it doesn't work, you should just stay back and don't get involved in the battle."

Leo actually wanted to hide behind, but time travel is unreasonable. He could hide for a while, but could he hide forever?

"Hit me! ... But don't hit my face or my private parts. Be careful. I'm here to learn fighting skills, not to fight you to death!"

"You're not good at fighting, but you're pretty tough." V complained, "Okay, then I'll fight you in a training way and teach you some combat common sense first."

Nobody: Chapter 48 Leo: "I am not clean anymore..."

Leo fought a desperate battle with V for the entire afternoon.

Unfortunately, the venue was not the bed, but the open space at the edge of the living room.

The result was a bloody defeat.

He felt pain all over his body, and in return a thin layer of sweat appeared on V's forehead.

"do not fight……"

Leo spread his arms and legs, lying on the ground in a "big" shape.

"If you hit me again, I'll die..."

"I'm holding back. It's just a superficial injury at best."

V took off his gloves and stretched his waist vigorously.

After two days of idleness, I finally had the chance to exercise. It felt so good.

Leo moaned on the ground for a while, then gathered enough strength to sit up, "V, if I practice like this every day, how long will it take for me to become a master?"

V glanced at him and said, "Becoming an expert by taking beatings? That's probably a little difficult."

"Don't they say that before you learn to hit someone, you must first learn to be hit?"

"That's your Eastern martial arts philosophy, I've actually heard people talk about it. But this is Night City, and those lunatics on the street are out to kill you. If you only defend and don't attack, you're probably going to die."

"If you want to survive here, you have to be ruthless!" She clenched her fists, making a crackling sound.

Leo gave her a thumbs up, lay back on the ground, and died with relief...

"I feel pain all over my body, especially my ribs. Your punch made me lose my breath. I hope they are not broken..."

"Tsk, weakling." V walked forward with disdain and squatted beside him, "Let me see."

Leo closed his eyes and felt her taking off his protective gear.

This is nothing. After taking off the protective gear, the burden was reduced and my body felt a lot more relaxed.

But soon after, my body suddenly felt cold and even my sportswear was lifted up by V.

"!"

Leo was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, "Ouch! What are you doing!"

"Indecent assault—ouch!"

V pressed hard on the painful area, and the soreness instantly interrupted his words.

"I go……"
