The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Unlike other rich and noble students in school.

He was born in an ordinary family in Santo Domingo, without a father, and his mother was just a corpse carrier under the municipal department.

Although he had a stable income and a relatively optimistic salary, he was still at the bottom of Night City.

There was no doubt that he, David Martinez, should not have gone to Arasaka Academy from the beginning. He should have dropped out of school early and found a job.

——But that was his mother's expectation after all.

Standing on the top of Arasaka Tower and becoming a superior person... Although he had stayed in Arasaka Academy for so long, he knew that this was almost an impossible delusion.

But looking at his mother who worked hard every day, he still couldn't say it.

The only thing he could do was to use his identity as a student of Arasaka Academy to sell Black Super Dream to those young masters and young ladies who were not short of money and wanted to find excitement to supplement the family income.

This kind of life should have continued... until he was on the verge of dropping out because of using pirated equipment, causing heavy losses to the academy and classmates.

——I messed up.

Before he could apologize, the car accident caused by the fight between the Animal Gang and the company dog, and the series of events that followed, changed his life drastically.

First, he was beaten up by his classmate Katsuo Tanaka, and then he received news from the hospital that his mother was attacked by a scavenger.

It was only a day later, why did it become like this...?

Sitting in a trance at the door of his former home - because he had no money to pay the rent, the landlord had kicked him out.

"What should I do next..."

Looking at the closed door, David fell into confusion.

The blood on his back, which had not yet dried, dyed the yellow corpse carrier's coat red.

Although after hearing that his mother was attacked by a scavenger, plus the various blows these days, he was so excited that he installed Sian Westin on himself, and used it to beat up Katsuo Tanaka who had always belittled and humiliated him.

But because of this, Arasaka Academy can never go back.

Being expelled is a foregone conclusion.

Without the student status, he could no longer enter the academy and sell Black Super Dream to the rich second generation of Arasaka.

Do you regret it?

Maybe.

But it was not because of other things. It was mainly because he was not familiar with Si'an Westin, which caused him to accidentally twist his wrist and failed to give Tanaka Katsuo two more punches.

It was a pity to think about it.

Let's get back to business... What should I do next?

There is no shortage of ways to make money in Night City, but whether it is legal or not is another matter - in fact, it is not bad to just break the law.

After all, in Night City, law-abiding citizens are rare creatures.

Sleepiness came up, whether it was the blood loss caused by the implantation of the prosthesis or the use of Si'an Westin, it greatly consumed David's energy.

But just when he leaned against the wall and was about to fall asleep, a strong man with black sunglasses who looked like a small mountain came up with a man and a woman.

The menacing appearance of the three people made many people choose to retreat.

"The address is right here... um, is it him?"

Man Yin looked around and pointed at David on the ground, and got a positive answer from Qi Wei.

"Hey! Wake up, kid!"

Without saying anything, he slapped him, waking up the half-asleep David.

But just as he reacted and was about to use Sian Westin, the feeling of gravity reversal suddenly surged up.

-He was lifted up by his feet.

At this time, using Sian Westin was no longer useful.

"It hurts... What are you doing!?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you are David Manedings, right?"

"So what if I am... Gah!"

Snap!

Before David finished speaking, Man Yin slapped him again, and this time it was harder than before.

"If it is, then it proves that I didn't hit the wrong person."

"..."

The left face felt like it was burned, burning and painful... What's wrong with this person?

David recalled for a long time but couldn't remember where he had offended them.

Or rather, he simply didn't have the ability to offend such people.

Finally, after thinking about it, there was only one person who had the motivation and ability to do this.

That was Tanaka Katsuo, who was beaten up by him today.

"...Are you guys sent by Katsuo to take revenge on me?"

"Huh? That guy? Revenge? Stop talking nonsense to me."

Maybe he vented some of his resentment, and Man Yin, who had calmed down, still looked at David a little displeased, but more or less stopped.

"We came to you simply because you used my prosthesis, which has nothing to do with other people, and no one instructed us."

"Prosthesis? Yours?"

When did I use your prosthesis?

Although he wanted to refute it, David quickly thought of something--

"Wait, Sian Westan is... yours?"

"Finally reacted, kid." Man Yin pushed the sunglasses on his face.

Then he let go of David's ankle, and the latter fell to the ground with his butt raised high, letting out a cry of pain.

"Those slaps just now are a lesson for you to use other people's prostheses without permission... What? You look shocked, didn't Gloria tell you?"

"No, I just found this from my mother's belongings..." David rubbed the red and swollen left side of his face and said vaguely.

The three people on the side showed a look of understanding after thinking... If this is the case, things make sense.

Of course, these are just their speculations, and you have to ask yourself for the actual situation.

"But what happened to the relic?"

We just rescued Mingming not long ago and sent him to some lazy doctor. How did you receive the news?

"The hospital told me. They called me before and said that my mother was attacked by a scavenger. Now... what's wrong with you? Is there any problem?"

"...No, it's okay, and you can shut up."

Mann waved his hand, indicating that David didn't need to say any more, while the other two people on the side also looked helpless.

It was obvious that they themselves were involved with the scavengers, but instead they came to frame them...

This is probably the so-called evil person who complained first.

"Forget it, for the sake of your ignorance and Gloria's, I'll settle the score with you later for your unauthorized use of my prosthetic body. Come with us now."

"But……"

"If you want to see Gloria again."

"..."

What Main said made David, who had originally planned to wait for an opportunity to escape, freeze.

Snapped!

But before he could answer, he was slapped again and forcibly dragged away.

Chapter 342 Young people are in good health

In the clinic's reception room, the members of Mann's team were sitting on the sofa in an informal manner.

However, because of the no-smoking rule in the clinic, they had to run out from time to time to relieve their craving for cigarettes.

In contrast, David, who was left alone and sitting upright, looked very reserved.

——It’s one thing to come here for the first time, but more importantly, I feel uncomfortable with the surrounding atmosphere.

The yellow corpse carrier's coat, which was stained with blood on the back, was put aside.

On the way here, Pyrrha had already explained to him the specifics of what happened, and also understood the fact that her mother was actually still alive, and had been sent here for first aid.

Although others advised him to relax, what should I say...

"Um, is my mother... really okay?"

Listening to the cheerful music coming from the operating room in the cubicle, David couldn't help but ask.

He had also come into contact with prosthetic doctors. In order to support his family, he even helped him sell Black Mewtwo in school.

But this was the first time he saw a prosthetic doctor who played two-dimensional high-pitched songs while performing surgery.

It’s just that the people next to Man Yin and the others all looked like they were used to it. They even complained, “Why is it the same song every time?” and “Let’s change it, I’m tired of hearing it.”

This is quite cyberpunk.

But can his mother really be saved here? It always feels like it’s not very reliable…

"Don't worry, if you can't even save your mother by chance, other places are just a waste of time."

He walked downstairs slowly.

Lucy took out an ice pack from the freezer on the first floor and handed it to David, whose face was half swollen.

"Also, let's apply this first."

"Thank you... I'm David Martinez."

"Lucy."

His voice was a bit muffled as he took the ice pack with a layer of frost on the surface.

The cold touch made the burning profile instantly feel better... and at the same time, it also made the white-haired girl in front of him look familiar.

No, it's not just her.

He glanced around with uneasy eyes. The decoration style here did not look like what a clinic should have, but that was not the point.

Just on the wall of the living room, there are several paper photos hanging.

Above is Lucy who looks slightly younger but has a charming expression.

Standing next to her was a man with a healthy smile that also made him feel familiar.

"Well, although it's a bit rude, have we met before? No, I don't mean anything else..." David waved his hand quickly as if he was worried about being misunderstood.

Lucy glanced at him sideways, and then recalled: "Last time you were selling Black Mewtwo at the dessert shop in the Civic Center, we were there too."

It turns out that was that time.

David, whose doubts were answered, nodded and said nothing more.

Ding--!

A crisp sound, similar to that of a microwave heating up something, jolted David, who was a little distracted while waiting.

Lin Qiao walked out of the surgery room symbolically wearing a white coat.

Seeing this scene, David was so excited that he instinctively turned on Sianwistan.

"Doctor, how is my mother doing now!?"

There was anxiety and worry in his tone that could not be concealed.

In the eyes of others, David, who was sitting on the sofa just now, rushed to Lin Qiao in almost the blink of an eye.

"That brat..."
