Chapter 116 The curtain is about to begin

After hearing about Lucy's past, Ling Luxian felt even more sympathetic towards her.

In his team, Lucy might be the one with the most tragic fate?

He was not loved by his father and mother, and was sent to hell by his bastard father himself.

And that ambiguous old mother has been tracking down her whereabouts.

It is possible that she wanted to make sure she was living a good life. However, this possibility is very low. If she really thought so, she would not have watched her daughter go into the fire.

But no matter who it is, if anyone dares to touch his members, he will be slapped in the face first.

At this time, Ling Luxian had no interest in attending the banquet and only wanted to take Lucy back as soon as possible.

But it wouldn't be nice to just leave like this. It would be too rude to leave without saying goodbye.

Just when he was in trouble, Father Pucci and others came back.

Ling Luxian quickly apologized to Father Pucci, "I'm so sorry, Father, my female companion is not feeling well, so we'll take our leave first."

This was exactly what Father Pucci wanted. His defense was broken today, so he would have brought it up even if Ling Luxian didn't mention it.

"No need to apologize, everything is arranged by the Lord. Tonight's gathering is not perfect, so how about we meet again another day?" Father Pucci said gently.

"See you next time." Ling Luxian took Lucy out of the villa.

On the way, Ling Luxian looked at Lucy, his heart full of pity.

He decided that he would never let Arasaka off easily, and Arasaka Yorinobu wanted to destroy Arasaka, so he poured fuel on the fire.

Seeing Lucy in this state, she couldn't be left without someone to take care of her.

After returning home, Ling Luxian asked Lucy to rest first, and he went into the kitchen to prepare some food for her.

I only ate a little at Father Pucci's, and it was a lonely meal.

So I made her something to eat, because eating can make people feel happy.

But Lucy is too sloppy. There are only some pre-packaged foods at home.

As a last resort, Ling Luxian bought some ingredients from Kejing Logistics.

Lucy looked at the food on the table and her heart was filled with emotion. She couldn't help but shed tears as she ate the food prepared by Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian saw Lucy crying, and hurried to her side and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lucy rushed over, shook her head and said, "Thank you, Ling Luxian. No one has ever been so nice to me."

Ling Luxian gently wiped away her tears and said, "Don't cry, I will always take care of you in the future."

It is impossible to say that Ling Luxian doesn't like Lucy. To say that he likes her is a little bit off.

But the atmosphere has become so tense, and it would be unreasonable for me to continue to act like an idiot.

Lucy looked up at Ling Luxian, with a firm light in her eyes, and said, "I believe you."

She has already decided that no matter what Ling Luxian's ambitions are, she must do her best to help him realize them.

Just when the two were being affectionate with each other, Arasaka also started his conspiracy.

Military technology has been paying too much attention to Arasaka recently, which has caused Arasaka to discover something unusual.

If things had gone according to plan, Arasaka shouldn't have noticed.

Who made Linglu hold this little butterfly and flap its wings?

Originally, Arasaka's main job was to solve the problem of the lunar base, with the focus on the European Space Agency.

The head of the Counterintelligence Department and the head of the Special Operations Department were both sent to Europe and were not withdrawn to Night City until 2077.

Unexpectedly, Ling Luxian actually ordered Kang Tao to attack Arasaka's lunar base.

For Arasaka, it is both a bad thing and a good thing. The orbital accelerator is a big bomb, and once it explodes, Arasaka will be seriously injured.

There may be some unknown secrets. How did ESA know that Arasaka has an orbital accelerator?

The orbital accelerator was originally a secret, but it was exposed. It seems that it was caused by the factional dispute within Arasaka.

It may not be accurate to say that it was a faction fight. It should be said that it was Arasaka Yorinobu who was fighting against Arasaka Saburo.

Once the lunar base was destroyed, the Arasaka Group turned its attention back to Night City.

In particular, military technology is ready to move, and the new United States wants to annex Night City again.

Under external pressure, the current Director of Special Operations, Arthur Jenkins, and the Director of Counterintelligence, V, should now be called Valerie.

Arasaka had no choice but to leave the two generals in Night City. By leaving them there, Arasaka discovered the tricks of military technology.

For this reason, Tanaka had no choice but to reveal his actions to the counterintelligence department.

Now all experiments are led by the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department, and Tanaka has become a supporting role, which makes him a little depressed.

Who can blame him for being a high-ranking official in Arasaka? He is not as popular as the Counterintelligence Department. The head of the Counterintelligence Department rides a hovercraft Renfield Holy Sword. His car is just an ordinary mid-to-high-end sedan.

The plan of using military technology to target Tanaka has been discovered by the Counterintelligence Department.

Faraday was discovered by Arasaka. Coincidentally, his ace general was the best experimental subject selected by Tanaka, so Arasaka sent someone to contact Faraday.

Valerie called David over and David looked at her sitting in the main seat with admiration.

Valerie looked at David in front of her with admiration and said, "David, I'll leave the matter of contacting Faraday to you this time."

"Me?" David pointed at himself. "Really? I'm just a newcomer. It would be terrible if I messed up such a big case."

Seeing that David was a little restrained, Valerie left her seat, walked up to David, and looked at him face to face.

Patting his shoulder with his hand, he said earnestly: "David, I am interested in you not because of his request. And I really think highly of you. You have talent and ability.

Now that you have gained experience, it is time to give you important work."

David was excited. This was the first time that his abilities were recognized by someone, and by the beautiful boss he admired.

He secretly clenched his fists, "I will definitely not let the minister down!" David said confidently.

Valerie smiled and nodded, very satisfied with David's performance.

"Very good, Agent D. Just go ahead and do it. If you do a good job this time, I will promote you to the chief of Section 3."

David was ecstatic. He never expected that just a small act of power would lead to his rapid rise to fame.

This time he could finally tell his mother proudly that he was about to reach the top of Arasaka.

David also knew the importance of this mission to Arasaka, so he issued a military order to Valerie, "Yes, Minister! I will complete the mission. If I fail, I will come to you with my head."

Valerie waved her hand. "How can you meet me with your head held high? There's no need. Go ahead. You can use the hovercraft while you're at it. This will show others how much I value you, and it will also make Faraday feel more at ease to work with you."

Before long, David successfully contacted Faraday and arranged a meeting time.
