Chapter 162 Goodbye Vincent

Vincent started to curse, but shut up when he saw it was Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian looked at him with a mixture of anger and amusement, "As everyone knows, the Ritz Bar is a place for amateurs. What's the point of just playing Mewtwo?"

Vincent shrugged and said, "Mewtwo is interesting. There is unlimited imagination there. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you."

Ling Lu grabbed the wine bottle on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"You've been in Night City for more than half a year, why don't you come to us? Didn't you agree that you would come to me after you came to Night City?"

Seeing Vincent look much older, Ling Luxian felt sorry for him. What on earth had happened? It had only been over a year, and the young man full of youth had turned into the old man he is now.

Ling Luxian knew the day Vincent came to the city and held a welcoming banquet for him.

It was just that Vincent had been unwilling to join his team, as if he had a knot in his heart. But it was Vincent's own business, and he couldn't force him if he didn't want to join.

But the situation is different now. Night City is about to undergo a major change, and Ling Luxian doesn't want him to do that disappointing mission again.

Evelyn is a cesspool and Dexter is an old guy who can't keep up with the times.

They found out that Evelyn had an unclear relationship with the Voodoo Gang and greed was at work, but they still accepted her commission.

Vincent opened another bottle of wine and clinked glasses with Ling Luxian.

“Seeing that you have become the top mercenaries now, how can I take advantage of you again?” Vincent smiled bitterly, “I have accomplished nothing, I just want to make a name for myself through my own efforts, and I will naturally go back when the time comes.”

It turned out that it was his self-esteem that was at work. Ling Luxian could understand that. The brother who used to brag and chat with him suddenly became rich, while he himself had achieved nothing, which caused a gap. In this situation, he would indeed feel inferior.

Vincent did well, he was really talented and was already a well-known lone wolf in Night City.

One step slow leads to another, unfortunately Vincent failed to catch the east wind.

"No matter what, you are always welcome here."

Vincent changed the subject, "Why didn't Jack come?"

"Uh..." Ling Luxian didn't know how to tell him, for fear of upsetting Vincent.

When Vincent saw Ling Luxian hesitating, he thought something had happened to Jack.

"What happened to Jack? We were drinking together two days ago, how come he suddenly disappeared?"

"Just forget it." Ling Luxian was speechless. Vincent was just imagining things too much.

"Jack is fine. He has accepted a commission to protect Lucius Lane's safety."

Vincent couldn't believe his ears. What did he hear? Lucius Lane? He was the mayor of Night City.

"Lucius Lane? The mayor of Night City?"

Ling Luxian nodded, "It's that fat black guy."

Vincent was sincerely happy for his friend, "That's great, I didn't expect you guys could achieve this, you are worthy of being the legendary team of Night City."

"That's how Night City is. With fame comes money. But..." Ling Luxian changed the subject, "Don't accept every commission."

"What do you mean?" Vincent frowned. "Why do I feel like you're here to remind me? What exactly is it that requires you to be so cautious?"

Ling Luxian didn't intend to keep the secret any longer, "Let me be frank, if you come across a commission related to Arasaka Yorinobu, don't accept it.

There is a trap here. Arasaka is about to undergo a major change, so don’t be the first to step forward.”

Ling Luxian had given him a heads-up in advance, telling him not to be so foolish as to accept any commission. This time, it would really be fatal.

He didn't know whether he could persuade her, but he had to give her a reminder anyway.

Vincent was not impressed by the inside information. He did not think he could get in touch with Arasaka Yorinobu. He was the prince of Arasaka Company. Who was he to be involved with him?

He casually agreed: "Okay, if there is really a commission related to Arasaka Yorinobu, I will definitely not accept it."

"Yeah." Ling Luxian felt relieved when he saw that he agreed.

That night, both of them had a lot of fun and got drunk.

Arasaka is in a state of panic because Huo Xiu listened to Ling Luxian's advice and shifted the blame to someone else, and now the fire is falling on Arasaka.

Now, Arasaka is in a mess.

"damn it."

Valerie slapped the desk. She understood that Jenkins wanted her to take the blame.

What are you saying? Frankfurt can handle it all on its own, bullshit!

This matter was of great importance, and Valerie had to find a way to deal with it.

In the previous call, Jenkins hinted wildly that Valerie should just get rid of those bosses in ESA.

No, he has a pig brain!

It was originally a small matter. Now that the orbital accelerator is no longer in Arasaka's hands, he could still get away with it by giving up some of the benefits.

Getting rid of the people from ESA would really make the trouble even bigger.

As for which interests to sacrifice, Valerie directly made a plan and submitted it to the Arasaka board of directors. She didn't want to take the blame.

She has worked so hard to climb to this position, it's impossible to let her go back to her old life!

Valerie leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. She knew that this matter would not be so easy to resolve and she would have to take some responsibility.

These pots may not necessarily do anything to her, but their future will be ruined, and Valerie doesn't want to stop there.

She got angry when she thought of Jenkins's arrogant look.

David happened to walk in at this time, and Valerie's eyes lit up. Perhaps Ling Luxian had a way to solve this problem.

Originally, Valerie wanted to be with David, but now she decides not to.

After repeated hints, he was still like a wooden stick, which made Valerie a little unhappy. Who could stand it when you flirt with a blind man?

Besides, she and Ling Luxian were friends, and being with David made her feel a generation inferior to him. This was something she couldn't accept.

"Minister, the data has been collected, please take a look."

David placed the data pad on Valerie's desk.

Valerie tapped the table and said, "Leave it there. I'll look at it later. Do me a favor today."

"What help?" David asked puzzledly.

"Please help me make an appointment with your cheap dad and tell him that I want to see him." Valerie picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Damn, the work pressure is too great recently. If there is no coffee, I really can't bear it.

"Okay." Although David didn't know why he was asked, he still did it.

Perhaps it was because of what happened in Frankfurt.

David shook his head and didn't want to think about it. After knowing the inside story of Arasaka, he had already started.
