Chapter 117 Meeting with Faraday

"The world's leading company is actually negotiating a commission in such a shady place, and it's a shady commission. Don't you think it's too shabby?"

Faraday looked at David in front of him with an expressionless face, as if he wanted to see through him.

Thirty minutes ago...

Faraday's driver pulled Faraday to a bus stop on the dam.

As soon as he got off the car, Faraday's nostrils were filled with the smell of dust.

The bus stop here has been abandoned for a long time, and no one cleans the platform. There is garbage and dust everywhere.

"What the hell is this guy doing? Why would he meet in a place like this?"

After taking a breath of the fresh air from nature, Faraday felt that it was really indecent for him to come to such a place.

He almost felt that the Arasaka people were deliberately humiliating him.

If Arasaka hadn't caught him, he would never have cooperated with Arasaka.

We already have a cooperative basis with Military Technology, but now the people from Arasaka want us to switch sides. Isn't this funny?

After waiting for a long time, Faraday didn't see anyone from Arasaka coming, and he clenched his fists in anger.

This was too insulting. It had been so long since the agreed time and no one had shown up. Faraday felt like he had been fooled.

At this time, inside the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.

"Hey, D! Don't you have a schedule today? Why don't you go now that the time has come?"

Someone saw David, still strolling leisurely in the department, and quickly reminded him.

"It's okay, Carter. Just leave him alone for a while and kill his arrogance."

As he spoke, David walked out from his desk.

Although it was not a large office like Valerie's, it was just an ordinary small standard room, which was enough to illustrate David's status at that time.

In the counterintelligence department, there are a large number of people who work while standing.

Although in this regard, Arasaka will not be stingy with its investment.

But the Counterintelligence Department is a secret service department, and most of the secret service agents are on the field. Except for a few section chiefs, only a few people can have independent desks in the department.

Of course, this refers to the desk in front of the minister's door. There are desks in other locations, of course, and the workstations are very rich.

However, as the saying goes, the prime minister is the most popular among the officials, so these agents are willing to get close to the minister, even if they have to stand and work. It's because they want to get promoted too much.

As a popular figure around Valerie, David naturally has some special rights.

Carter Smith looked at the young man in front of him. He was very jealous. He had only been there for a short time, but he had already got a desk.

It was clearly him who brought her up, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would be on equal footing with him.

Carter, as David's mentor, also handled this case. He thought Minister Valerie would give him this task, but unexpectedly he became David's stepping stone, which made him even more jealous.

So he came to David to get some information. But when the appointed time came, David still hadn't left.

Carter urged, "It's already the agreed time, you should leave as soon as possible. It takes time to get there, and it will damage the company's image if you leave too late."

"Oh, it's okay. Minister Valerie gave me the authority of the hovercraft, it won't take much time to get there." David said calmly.

This was originally a way for him to show Faraday his power. This guy has always had in-depth cooperation with military technology, and he had to find a way to let him know Arasaka's attitude.

As for the company's image? As long as Arasaka Tower stands in Night City, the company's image will not collapse.

David locked the computer at his workstation and left.

"But you're right, now's the time to go over and take a look. We can talk later."

Carter looked at David's back and was burning with jealousy.

I am his mentor, but now he not only takes away my credit, but also treats me like this. This little bastard is really too much.

Before leaving, he even locked the computer at his workstation. Was he afraid that I would peek at the information? Although I did have this thought, as his mentor, he was actually guarding against me like a thief.

Carter thought that since he was not of much use in the Counterintelligence Department, he might as well move to another place.

This also laid the seeds for his future misfortune.

David walked along the way, watching his colleagues cast envious glances at him, and he felt so happy that he couldn't help but slow down his pace.

The road finally had an end, and they soon arrived at the garage of the hovercraft, which made David feel a little empty.

David is too young and was corrupted by the environment in Arasaka so quickly. Now he behaves like a real corporate dog.

Now it's time to go home, and I have separated from Gloria. The mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time.

I wonder how Gloria feels when she sees David's current situation. It must be very complicated.

Fortunately, David was just vain and had not forgotten his original intention. There was still a possibility of education and recovery, but he would need a good beating from Ling Luxian.

Faraday on the dam had been waiting for thirty minutes and was already getting impatient.

However, looking at the hovercraft with the Arasaka logo on it roaring towards me in the sky, I felt a little scared.

Good man, so high profile? What did I do to attract such a big shot?

Seeing David coming down from the hovercraft, he was surprisingly young, but he did not dare to neglect him at all.

But he also has his own ethics, and he has to show his backbone somehow.

He looked at David calmly and said, "You're late. Besides, the world's leading company is actually negotiating a commission in such a hellish place. Don't you think it's too shabby?"

David didn't look at him directly, but walked to the observation deck and looked at Night City through the telescope.

"Sorry, something happened. As for discussing the commission here, don't you think the scenery here is great? And you can also see the whole picture of Night City.

As one of the most powerful middlemen, the old captain negotiates commissions here. I think it’s not bad to use your tricks occasionally.”

"Uh……"

David brought up the old captain, which made Faraday feel that he was being too pretentious.

Faraday frowned calmly. This man seemed to be pointing at him.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter where we discuss the commission. Now that we have met, do you have anything to say?"

David crossed his arms and turned to look at Faraday. "The matter you've been investigating recently is very sensitive, so sensitive that the company sent me to solve it. Do you know how big a mess you've made?"

Faraday put his hands in his trouser pockets and said without showing any weakness: "I always follow the rules. As the unspoken rules of Night City, you have to abide by them even if you are Arasaka."

"No, no, no." David shook his finger. "This matter involves Arasaka's secrets. The case has been submitted to the Tokyo headquarters. You should know how serious this matter is."

Faraday's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

David was also trying to trick him. It was just a trivial matter and there was no need to alarm the Arasaka headquarters.

However, Faraday was not aware of this, so David was misled by the information.
