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

[Why not separate from her after you get rid of the scavenger? It will be much more convenient for you to live alone. ]

Hearing Chun Bai's bad idea, Leo firmly opposed it: [I think you want to exclude dissidents! Don't even think about it, V either lives in her own room or lives in my bed, don't even think about going anywhere else! ]

[After all this talk, you just lust after her body... Well, I just suffered because I don't have a physical body. If I reward you every time you return to the singularity space, you won't only lust after her and not me...]

[Shut up! You're interrupting my train of thought! ]

Sometimes Leo really wants to ban her from speaking. She always says weird things whenever she gets a chance. How can a good AI become like this?

Let’s think about V.

Since I can't hide it from her, I might as well be honest.

Sincerity is the secret weapon. This little secret between two people can often enhance mutual affection and trust.

"We have arrived at our destination. Thank you for choosing Delaman's private car service. Choose Delaman and leave your worries at the door."

After being brainwashed by Delaman's advertising slogan again, Leo stood in front of Haywood's apartment again.

After seven days, he finally arrived home.

Next up, a short absence is better than nothing, having a candlelight dinner with V!

he wants--

"Wu-hum-hum-"

The built-in phone suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.

The contact person is…V!

Answer the phone!

"look up."

V said straight to the point.

Leo looked up and saw that the lights on the twelfth floor of the luxury apartment were on. A familiar figure was standing by the window waving at him.

It’s V!

no doubt!

She was still wearing her battle suit, dressed as if she was ready to go out at any time.

"I'm back, I'll be home soon!"

Leo walked hurriedly into the hall and pulled down his hat and mask so that the nervous security personnel could see his face clearly.

After passing successfully, he strode towards the elevator and tapped the elevator call button several times.

After the elevator door opened, he walked in and reported his floor information at any time.

He hung up the phone reluctantly until the number on the display jumped to 12.

Ding--

The elevator doors opening sounded so beautiful.

V's figure appeared before his eyes again.

"V! Long time no see!"

Leo opened his arms and held her in his arms.

The action was a bit abrupt, and V's body stiffened instantly.

But in the end, she still hesitantly reached out her hand, imitated Leo and patted his back, and said vaguely: "Welcome back, and... let go first, it's only a week, you're making it like a life-and-death separation."

Leo forced her to hold on for a few more seconds, and only let go after holding her for ten seconds.

It seems that talking on the phone every day does have an effect. V doesn't seem to be very resistant to this level of physical contact.

If you hug her a few times every day, she might get used to it after a while!

V's instinct came into play again, and she stiffened her fists. "Put aside your dirty thoughts. If you want to be beaten, just tell me. I promise to hit you hard and make sure you get enough contact!"

The corner of Leo's mouth twitched, and he became obedient in an instant.

Just at this moment, Chunbai sent a text message.

[Don't listen to her. I monitor this place every day and see her standing by the window for longer and longer periods of time. Knowing that you're coming back today, she's been standing there for over an hour.

Although your way of trying to please others is silly, V, who likes to be alone, might really fall for it. 】

Leo was stunned: [What do you mean, I should lower my head a little more? ]

[I sincerely suggest you read some books to improve your emotional intelligence. You can hardly understand what people say. I mean - if you can be more sincere, it's okay to just say your feelings directly. Forget about the downfall. I can't stop her from beating you up.]

Leo seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

He followed V into the room, took off his coat, and placed his mask and sunglasses on the cabinet.

V looked at his strange outfit and couldn't help asking, "Why are you dressed like this after returning from the airport? Where are your clothes and luggage? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

"I carry it with me. You'll know soon." Leo walked around the house and found that this apartment was the one he liked the most.

Although the room provided by Batman is luxurious and elegant, it is essentially a cell. No matter how luxuriously decorated it is, it is still a cell.

But it’s different here… This is his and V’s cozy little home, and it feels like it would be even more like home if there were a small pet or a child here.

Turning his head, he looked at V's outfit and asked, "What's wrong with you? You dress so seriously at home... and you carry a gun? Are you going out?"

V shook his head and took off his cool jacket.

"I was afraid that you might be targeted again along the way, so I thought I would rescue you if I received a call for help."

"Oh, okay, I appreciate your kindness~"

Leo laughed and relaxed on the sofa.

V went back to his room and when he came back he had changed into casual clothes.

She walked to the vending machine and turned to look at Leo: "Pure water or beverage?"

"No, I want you..." Leo paused deliberately, and seeing her eyebrows were about to rise again, he hurriedly said, "... Come here. Yes, just come over."

V didn't know what tricks he was trying to play, but she was confident that if someone dared to mess up, she would definitely beat him to the ground.

So she walked over and sat next to him.

Leo estimated the distance between the two of them, about 80 centimeters, not too close, not too far. According to the definition of "intimate distance", the two of them should be "more than friends, but less than lovers".

Very good, the value of long phone calls is still increasing.

"V, do you want to see a magic trick?"

"...Ah?" V was confused by his unconventional behavior.

"Lend me that commemorative coin, and I'll show you something awesome!"

First appearance: Chapter 89 Shocking V Shocking the sky for a hundred years

V took out the commemorative coin from his pocket and put it in his hand.

Leo didn't expect she had it with her, so he asked curiously, "Is this your lucky coin?"

V was in a daze for a moment, "I guess so. It's a toy from my childhood. It's not really valuable, just a souvenir."

"Hmm...very good. Watch me perform magic for you."

Leo placed the coin in the palm of his right hand and motioned for V to look carefully.

"No need to close your eyes, count to one, two, three?"

"No, I'm a master and can perform magic in an instant. Watch carefully—"

There was no sound, no change in light and shadow, and no air disturbance. The coin in his hand instantly turned into a bottle of high-end-looking tequila.

V's pupils shrank and his face showed shock.

"This is impossible!"

She snatched the bottle of wine, first looked at the bottom of the bottle, then looked at Leo's palm, but still didn't see the commemorative coin.

The bottle of wine seemed to... appear out of thin air in his hands.

"how did you do that!?"

Leo smiled mysteriously: "Subspace storage technology, isn't it amazing?"

This is not just magical, it's like seeing a ghost!

V even checked his palms, but couldn't find any flaws.

It's impossible to hide such a big bottle of wine in your sleeve.

Moreover, she saw clearly the process of him putting the coin into his palm just now, so it couldn't be an illusion.

So what the hell is this…subspace technology!?

Leo no longer hid his shortcomings and filled the table with his luggage and various fruits and pastries.

V's expression changed from shock to dullness, and he stood there in a daze, like an exquisite stone statue.

After a while, she asked with difficulty: "Do you have this technology? Then is it too late for me to learn Chinese now?"

Leo looked at her in surprise.

V explained: "Think about it, with this kind of technology, in less than ten years at most, you will be the most powerful force in the world. With this technology, all kinds of security checks will be a joke. You can walk into the office of the company leader with weapons and shoot them with one shot!"

"No, not us." Leo handed her a piece of cut watermelon, "It's me, this is my... um, our family's technology."

V held the watermelon blankly, smelling the fresh fragrance of it having just been cut, his brain already starting to smoke.

"With this technology, how dare those people release you... Oh, I see. Is this a secret technology? They don't know about it either?"

Seeing that she had already started to imagine, Leo went with the flow: "It's not completely accurate, but it's almost there. I'm the only one who has mastered this technology now, and it might be lost once I die."

"Then you... shouldn't tell such secrets. This is Night City. The company will do whatever it takes to capture you and study you."

After suddenly hearing such a secret, V felt his mouth dry and he subconsciously started to eat melons.

Sweet and moist, without any peculiar smell.

This melon was obviously grown with clean water, and it was a fruit she couldn't afford to eat...

While she was distracted, Leo took out several boxes of pure white wine that he had confirmed to be problem-free, opened the lids, and placed them in a row on the ground.

"Look, this is the 'goods' I brought back this time."

V bent down and picked up a bottle, and found that the bottle was very plain and had no markings, a bit like moonshine.

But judging by its size and the color of the wine, it is undoubtedly a fine wine.

“The wine… looks like it’s of high quality.”

"That's right. This is wine made from real grape juice. It's different from those blended wines. The bottle you took is low-end wine. Try this first."

Leo picked out a bottle of dry white wine that was almost colorless and slightly lemon yellow.

With unpracticed technique, remove the cork and pour into two glasses.

A light wine aroma mixed with fruity scent permeates the air.

V took a quick sniff and was immediately mesmerized by the "fresh and natural" scent.

Just by smelling the wine, it's obviously real wine, not the inferior stuff blended with essences.

“This looks expensive…”

"It's not expensive. At least the price I paid for the goods is not expensive. Let me try it first."

He picked up two glasses of wine and gave one to V.

"cheers!"

He clinked his glass with V and took a sip of the wine.

Hmm~~this taste is so... so... so unpresentable.

This thing is not even good enough to be used as a mouthwash when placed on a rich man's dining table...

On the other side, V also tasted it.
