Chapter 99 Destiny!

"Leon, V has gone back. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

At this time, Lucy, still wearing a tight waist-revealing leather jacket, came in front of Leon.

Since getting away from the death threat from Arasaka, Lucy, who used to hide and be cautious, has become more confident and calm.

With Leon's help, Arasaka Yorinobu deleted Lucy's wanted order permanently from Arasaka's server with just one sentence. Now Lucy is a truly free person.

After handling company affairs for this period of time, Lucy's temperament has changed from the original rebellious little wild cat to a more shrewd and capable one.

"Lucy, thank you for your hard work lately."

Li Ang smiled at Lucy, then stepped forward and held her hand: "The only thing you have to do now is to pack your luggage, because we are going to the moon soon."

"Go inform Mann and the others later, and take 2B with you. I hope everyone can relax completely on this trip to the moon."

"Let 2B be responsible for protecting everyone's safety."

"Just go and have fun."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucy's nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed. She tore off the cold disguise she presented in front of outsiders and threw herself into Leon's arms affectionately.

"Leon, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, really."

After the Blue Sky Mansion incident broke out, Lucy, like other members of Mann's team, was busy dealing with all kinds of messy troubles.

The reason why Lucy tried her best to complete every work task was just to help Leon as much as possible, but everyone would feel tired, especially dealing with the affairs of such a large company.

Originally, Lucy thought that she would have to wait for a few months before she could realize this wish, but the answer Leon gave her today made her extremely happy.

"Lucy, you deserve this."

Leon smiled and said that he always kept his word. If he said he would take Lucy and the others to the moon, then they must go to the moon.

"Yes, you deserve it."

After saying that, Lucy came forward and gently rubbed Leon's face with the tip of her delicate nose. Then her soft lips covered Leon's lips, and waves of warm lime scent filled the air.

……

……

A week later.

The TV in the Next Life Bar was switching back and forth between news reports from various media programs. Many mercenaries who were blowing off energy on the dance floor gathered together to watch the latest information.

#IntelligenceTalk: Ms. Victoria, CEO of Meta Group, officially announced that Meta will become the first manufacturer of power armor devices for LA Company.

The strong rise of the LA company has made Mr. Li Ang the new leader among the military technology shareholders! #
#N54 News: New America has reached an in-depth cooperation with LA Company. The troops stationed in eastern North America are frequently mobilized, and the war zones in America are about to be in turmoil.

The countdown to the reunification of the new America has begun! #
#GunsHorseBack: Kangtao Company topped the list of arms dealers at this year's International Arms Exhibition, winning arms orders worth tens of billions of Euros!

Xu Shiming, the weapon king from China, may become Li Ang's biggest competitor. #
#……#
If we were to say what the annual keyword for Night City is this year, it would definitely be the word "weapons"!
First, LA's kinetic energy and technological weapons swept the weapons market in the first half of the year, and Li Ang became the king of arms dealers in Little Chinatown.

Next came the emerging Kangtao Company. Xu Shiming led the intelligent weapons into international exhibitions and beat out the competition to win a large number of weapons orders from other security companies.

The emergence of various new weapons has intensified conflicts around the world, and Night City is no exception.

In just a few months, vicious incidents such as the bombing of Arasaka Tower and the violent conflict in Azure Building occurred in Night City.

But for mercenaries, hackers, and brokers who want to get rich overnight, Night City is still one of the best places in the world to make money! "V, what do you think it's like to take a Hermes shuttle to the Crystal Palace?"

Jack Wells watched the Orbital Airlines plane launch program intently. The plane bound for the Crystal Palace was the most prestigious space travel vehicle in the world!
I heard that the price of a one-way ticket alone would cost an average corporate employee three years’ salary.

It is no wonder that ESA named this aircraft Hermes. After all, Hermes is the god of wealth in ancient Greek mythology.

He can be regarded as the European God of Wealth.

V watched the plane gradually rise into the air and leave the surface of the earth. He knew that Leon and the members of Mann's team were all in the plane, looking down at the tiny creatures.

"Maybe, the people sitting on this plane look at us like ants." V murmured.

"V, have you ever thought about going to the Crystal Palace? I heard there are endless delicious foods there, and top chefs are there cooking for the rich. I really envy them..."

Jack swallowed.

The Crystal Palace, the greatest miracle building since the new century, is a "sky garden" built in space.

In order to escape the war, the wealthy basically choose to come here to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

"Jack, don't you only like to eat corn flakes and tamales? Why are you craving for the food in the Crystal Palace?"

V caught a glimpse of Jack Wells swallowing his saliva and couldn't help but laugh and joked, "What's the matter? You're getting tired of the old and love the new, right?"

"Shit... stop talking."

Jack waved his hand slightly depressed and said, "You don't know what I went through in the hospital. My mom brought me food every day, all corn flakes and steamed pork with rice flour."

"No matter how delicious this thing is, I can't eat it every day. I really can't stand it, but I can't bear to refuse my mother's kindness, so I applied for early discharge from the hospital."

When Jack Wells thought of the painful look on his face when his mother, Mrs. Wells, first came to the hospital and threw herself on him crying, he felt very guilty. He shouldn't have disobeyed his mother.

"V, seriously, I've figured it out now. Becoming a Night City legend may not be suitable for me. I just want to go back to my mom now."

"As for us two brothers, we can just do ordinary jobs as before. As for street reputation, we can just slowly build it up. There is still a long way to go."

"Even if you become rich overnight, you still have to live long enough to spend it, right? Let's just take it slow."

Seeing Jack as confident and cheerful as usual, full of expectations for the future, V thought that the beauty of this moment was hard-earned.

They should have been killed by the company, but now they can still drink and joke together. This is really thanks to their good luck to meet the LA company.

"Jack, you should have done this a long time ago."

V smiled and put his arm around Jack's shoulders. He hoped that his good brother Jack could live in peace and safety forever. The best ending would be for him to go back to the way things were before.

As for himself…V knew he couldn’t go back.

The advanced prosthetic device inserted in his brain and the world's top AI are telling V that from now on he can no longer live in obscurity like an ordinary person.

Fate is pushing V to become a legend.
