from night city

As for the car Jack drove when he brought Jose to this town, let alone the car.

That was the ordinary pickup truck driven by the Salamanca Group who were chasing them. It was dumped directly in the town and anyone who wanted to pick it up could just let them pick it up.

……

On the streets of Santo Domingo, a van with a pink exterior was parked.

The car was filled with big men from the Animal Gang.

"Damn, I completely lost track of him."

"It's over. It's over now. If the boss finds out, he will definitely skin us."

Their boss attached great importance to this commission, so the famous Hector Salamanca personally called for this commission.

The Salamanca Group is one of the many groups in Mexico. If you can establish a relationship with the Salamanca Group, it is equivalent to having a thick leg.

A lot of cooperation will be possible in the future.

Therefore, the boss was very concerned and asked them to squat outside Arasaka Beach, wondering when the target would come out of Arasaka Beach to complete the commission.

It's not that they don't want to squat outside the Kanbi Building, but guys like them with obvious gang branding are not allowed to enter Arasaka Beach.

Anyone who dares to enter will be discovered and warned. If they dare to ignore the warning, they will be beaten into a sieve.

So I can only stay outside the Kanbi Building.

"What happened to you two? You even lost track of your target?"

The new muscular men complained to the two animal gangs who were in the car before.

One of the animal gang who had been in the car before was not convinced.

"It's not all your fault. The boss wanted us to stay in the car while we ate, drank, and had sex. If you hadn't gotten off the car to have fun, we could have caught up right then. Why would we waste time waiting for you?"

"What did you say? Why are you so arrogant as a newcomer? Do you dare to say another word? Do you believe I will tear your stinking mouth apart?"

Another member of the Animal Gang, who was also in the car before, pulled his companion and signaled him to stop talking.

Neither of them were members of this organization before. No matter where they are, it is an unwritten rule for old people to bully newcomers.

There is nothing you can do about it if you feel it is unfair. The only thing you can do at this time is to shut up and stop talking. Others will stop talking when they get tired of it.

"Hey!"

He suddenly let out a scream.

"Aren't you still convinced? I'm going to fucking..."

"No, look, isn't that the target that the boss wants us to kill?"

The other people in the car were stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the familiar high-end business bulletproof car driving past.

Everyone in the car was immediately overjoyed.

"Hurry up, catch up!"

……

The viaduct in Santo Domingo was unusually deserted today. Apart from the business bulletproof car that Su Xiao and his party were riding in, and the pink van from the Animal Gang, there was only one yellow Tingwei Galina G240 (2031 ).

In the past, people only wanted to have enough food and have some fun.

But in the 21st century, people still want cars.

Without a car, you can't go to work, take your kids to kindergarten, or escape when gangs are fighting over territory.

The Tingwei Galena first hit the road in 2031. At that time, in order to stimulate consumption, the government launched reasonably priced cars and wanted to boost the declining economy.

Since Tingwei did not have much experience in producing small cars at the time, the company equipped the Galena with engines purchased from Maher Automobiles in India.

However, this cooperation was not successful. The Galena's performance was not outstanding and its sales were not good.

Still, it's running on the road, and that's all that matters.

The small car produced in 2031 has been discontinued long ago, but people are still using it in 2077, not because the car owners dislike the new, but because Gloria really has no money.

"Didn't I ask you to upgrade?"

David was not going to argue with his mother. He had indeed done something wrong.

Regardless of the starting point, it is an indisputable fact that it almost caused him to be expelled from school, and also caused them to pay a large amount of compensation to Arasaka Academy.

Therefore, he did not dare to look at Gloria, but looked out the window with a guilty conscience.

"It was my fault for going to the prosthetic doctor."

"You made your own decision, and now we have to pay ten times the amount."

"sorry."

"If you're going to apologize, you might as well not do it in the first place."

Facing his mother's reluctance, David couldn't help but talk back.

"When I asked for the first time, you said you had no money..."

"That's because it's not the day to pay wages yet! Of course we don't have a lot of cash lying around at home." Gloria glanced downward, "Also, stop shaking your legs!"

David sighed.

Although his grades in Arasaka Academy have always been very good, except for him, the leader of Guizhou, everyone in Arasaka Academy is a powerful person.

Because of this, he and those guys couldn't pee in the same pot.

But he couldn't be like a dog, wagging his tail at them and begging for mercy, so David's days at Arasaka Academy were not to say that he had both sides, but at least he was alone.

When David thinks about the fact that this kind of life will not only end at Arasaka Academy, but will also extend to Arasaka Company (if he can really enter Arasaka Company in the future), David feels that the future is extremely gloomy.

Therefore, during this period, whenever he was free, he was thinking about another thing.

He knew that his mother might not agree, so he never mentioned it before.

And he believes that now is a more appropriate time.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it recently..."

"what?"

David hesitated for a while, but still said: "I can take a break from school and look for a job or something."

The so-called suspension of study is just a nice way of saying it.

It's not that Arasaka Academy doesn't have the option of taking a break from school, but for a humble soldier like David, this option doesn't exist.

Or just stay at Arasaka Academy;

Either go out and don't even think about coming in again.

You can come when you want and leave when you want. What do you think of Arasaka Academy?Public toilet?

As expected, Gloria immediately became angry.

"what are you talking about?"

"Mom, you know we really can't afford to repair the system."

The so-called system maintenance fee refers to the fact that David burned down the online education system of Arasaka Academy.

It was because of this incident that David was almost ordered to drop out of school.

If Gloria hadn't repeatedly assured the principal, begged in a low profile, and promised compensation...

David doesn't have to go to school tomorrow.

And it was not David's intention to burn out the system.

The Mewtwo bracelet David needs to go to school is a severely outdated item. If he wants to connect to the academy's system, he must purchase the latest Mewtwo bracelet.

But as mentioned earlier, after David asked Gloria for money for the first time to no avail, he turned to a prosthetic doctor who usually gave him very exciting programs.

Let the other party install a pirated program of unknown origin on his old-fashioned Mewtwo headband.

In the words of the prosthetic doctor, "As long as you install this pirated program, you don't need to buy a new Mewtwo Ring, you can still use it as a new one."

David believed.

Then he fell.

In the end it was like this.

However, even at this point, David didn't hate the prosthetic doctor much.

Instead, I feel that this may be an opportunity - if the word taught in the academy does not mean the wrong thing.

David, who did not dare to look at his mother, kept turning his head to look at the scenery outside the window without noticing his mother's face.

"Besides, I am quite out of place in the academy, and my mother probably doesn't know anything about it." David said what he should not have understood at this age, "As long as you are poor, you will not be taken seriously."

David closed his eyes for a moment, and the ugly face of the guy who always accompanied two followers and looked down on him from above when he was at Arasaka Academy appeared before his eyes.

"No matter how hard I study, I can't be like them, and I don't want to become them."

The atmosphere in the car became silent.

Gloria's voice was trembling, with a hint of crying.

"Then why have I been working? I worked so hard just to make you...but now...what do you think I have been doing during this time?"

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with his mother's mood. When David turned his head back, he noticed that there were tears flashing in Gloria's eyes.

"You are so smart and talented." Even though he held it back, tears finally flowed down uncontrollably. "That's why I work so hard to make money and train you. What should I do if you don't want to study anymore?"

Night City is a city of dreams. Just like the American dream decades ago, everyone wants to realize their dreams in Night City.

But the cruel thing is that her humble background, poor knowledge, and low academic qualifications have almost blocked all of Gloria's upward paths.

She can only do the most tiring and dirty work, and earn the meager salary.

As if God thought she was not miserable enough, he made her pregnant early, and the father of the child disappeared without a trace as soon as he knew she was pregnant.

Chapter 256 Car accident and attack (3K)

More than once, Gloria thought about getting over it, committing suicide by taking pills, swallowing a gun, or simply jumping off a high-rise bridge or something like that.

How can I raise this child if I can't even support myself?

But the amazing thing is that every time Gloria wants to die, as long as she thinks of David, she doesn't want to die anymore.
