Ember Restaurant.

Five minutes ago.

Tang Yu and Gloria were sitting across the table to discuss business, and the communication and cooperation between the two was going smoothly.

The dinner had already entered the finishing stage, and the corner of Tang Yu's eyes inadvertently fell on the two people who walked in at the main entrance of the elevator of the restaurant.

The two of them are dressed in a strong Arasaka style, preferring dark red and dark black.

After Tang Yu worked in the counterintelligence department, he was already accurate and spicy when he looked at his face and recognized the burly middle-aged man as Tanaka, the head of the R&D department of Arasaka Company, and the senior management of Arasaka Saburo's pure Japanese descendant company, holding a large number of research materials such as Arasaka Company's secret weapons and equipment, and most importantly, he was also responsible for human biological research.

The military-grade Sanvistan human body operation data to be obtained this time was a mission application issued by the R&D department, and was finally sent to Arthur Jenkins after being approved by the upper meeting.

Gloria, who had her back to the door, didn't know what Tang Yu had discovered, and just discussed things quietly and politely.

Originally, it was normal to meet Arasaka's companions at Ember Dinner, but it was Katsuo Tanaka, the boy who followed Tanaka, who caught Tang Yu's attention.

Tang Yu had seen David's appearance in his life simulation, so he left a certain impression and knew that the relationship between him and David was extremely bad.

Sure enough.

Tang Yu found that Katsuo Tanaka, who had just entered the restaurant, raised his eyes almost casually, and his gaze met David's gaze, and both of them were very stunned.

Tang Yu felt a toothache for David in his heart.

"You can meet Katsuo Tanaka when you go out"

"It's the most troublesome time to pick every time"

"David's life is really full of black humor"

After that, Tang Yu saw David hiding in the toilet first, and it didn't take long for Katsuo Tanaka to find an opportunity to sneak in, guessing that this guy must have gone to trouble David.

It's just that Tang Yu thinks that the two of them can't make trouble now, otherwise if Gloria and David are involved in the vision of Arasaka's high-level leaders, she won't be able to do it as a middleman.

What's more, Tanaka of the R&D department is also sitting here, he is a member of the board of directors of Arasaka Academy, if he is determined to expel David, then dropping out is basically a certainty.

So Tang Yu made an excuse and explained to Gloria that he was going to the bathroom.

Gloria got up slightly to watch Tang Yu leave the table, and looked around left and right by the way, trying to search for David's figure, but found that he didn't seem to be in the hall.

"Where is David?"

She looked around again, but still didn't see where David had gone.

At this moment, a gentleman approached Gloria from the bar and asked if she needed any help.

Gloria directly refused with an unkind face, showing a very strong disgust at the strange man's accosting and approaching.

She now just wanted to find out where David had gone, so she called the waiter and asked where the older boy who had just been at the table with her had gone.

The waiter carefully informed that he saw that David had walked into the bathroom and should still be inside.

Gloria was relieved, but she felt that she hadn't come out for so long, maybe she had eaten too much and had a bad stomach, so she casually asked the waiter more.

"Is the food in your buffet area free?"

The waiter politely explained: "Ma'am, we don't have a free buffet at Ember Restaurant, all the dishes are taken according to the menu price"

Gloria was a little confused.

But she remembered that Tang Yu clearly said that the buffet was free just now, and because it was the first time she came to eat at Ember Restaurant, she didn't know much about the pattern here.

"And how do you charge for buffet catering?"

The waiter replied affirmatively: "Ma'am, we charge according to the original price of the menu, and the food in the buffet area is a cold food made in the back kitchen"

Gloria felt that things might not be good, and that if David had eaten too much just now, it was likely to exceed the budget, or even greatly exceed, so she hurriedly asked.

"How much did the big boy spend just now, I want to see the bill"

The meals in the buffet area are automatically priced by the table, and as long as the food leaves the table, it will be regarded as a purchase.

"Please wait"

The waiter's prosthetic eyes flashed his aperture, and he said after a little calculation.

"A total of 5,000 and 20 euros"

After listening to this, Gloria immediately sat down with a bad premonition in her heart, covered her head and sighed helplessly.

"Well..., it's still not suitable for this kind of place."

So I was about to buy the self-service bill first, but I heard the waiter politely refuse.

"Hello Madam, this is the case, all the consumption bills have been recorded under our exclusive member customer electronic account, and no second payment or transfer can be made"

Gloria didn't expect Tang Yu to buy the order in advance, no wonder he said at the time that the self-service dining area was free, and all the accounts were recorded in his name, of course it was free for David!

"Is this the strength of the high-level Arasaka, it's simply a terrible money ability..."

"Looks like I owe him another big favor, but is this really good..."

Gloria sat back in her seat, not knowing what to say, and could only look out the window at the night view of the city, the most prosperous and dazzling part of the Night City was at her feet, and the luxurious private float was shuttling in the air at the same height as herself.

Everything was too unrealistic, she had never had such scenery and courage in her life, and if it were not for the sake of returning the favor, she would never have spent money in such a place to spend extravagantly.

The experience in the past two days is bizarre enough, and she has worked in a public medical center and deeply understands a truth, it is not uncommon for a car accident in Night City, it is rare to meet good people in Night City, not to mention meeting a good person from a company.

"It's even more outrageous than seeing God..."

"The middleman..."

"Do you want to get more out of me?"

"But I have nothing worth losing, and as for David, even if he has a bright future, I'm afraid it can't match his future."

"Even his starting point is already David's end"

Gloria thought a lot, she just felt that her brain was messed up, and it was an accident to agree to the middleman, she had only made some deals with cyberpunk, but it didn't involve anything too dangerous.

"I really can't guess his intentions..."

Suddenly, she noticed a burly middle-aged man in a suit with a serious face passing by, walking in the direction of the toilet, with the logo of the Arasaka company printed on the buttons on the cuffs.

Tanaka received a distress call from his son, and he felt a little irritable, but he didn't expect his son to be in trouble when he went to the toilet.

He slowly walked to the bathroom, and soon saw the innermost position in the inner room, Katsuo Tanaka was sitting on the ground slumped on the ground covering his face and gritting his teeth, and when he saw his father, he immediately struggled to crawl over, pointing at Tang Yu and crying.

"Father, he is the one who beat me!"

"Hiss~ It hurts..."

"Father, you must not let this man go!"

Tanaka looked at Tang Yu expressionlessly and did not speak, feeling that the other party was very familiar, and turned on the prosthetic eye scan to confirm his identity.

Katsuo Tanaka was still crying next to him, but was directly interrupted by his father Tanaka.

He was very unhappy with his son's behavior of being beaten up but only dared to cry for help, which was completely inconsistent with his tough personality and acting style.

"Get Out"

Tanaka Katsuo's pleading expression suddenly stiffened, but he didn't dare to disobey his father Tanaka's words, and after being stunned for a moment, he could only swallow his anger and respectfully exit the bathroom, until he left the bathroom, he stared at Tang Yu with hatred and anger.

After Tanaka ordered his son to leave, he continued to ask.

"The story of your conflict with Albernacy in the elevator in the morning has spread in the company"

"Why clash with her?"

Tang Yu walked to the sink from the inner room, passed by Tanaka, looked at Tanaka's figure in the electronic mirror screen and said:

"I've never been at odds with her"

"I've heard that there are quite a few people in the company who have privately nicknamed me a mad dog"

"Sometimes I like the nickname"

"But I think Director Ebernacy might be more qualified for the nickname Mad Dog than I am now."
