"My dream?" David raised his head and looked at Gloria, sighing and saying, "Let's not talk about whether I can eventually join the company, mom, is that really my dream?"

"I did tell you that I would stand at the top of Huangban Company and become a useful talent in the company, but Mom, when did I say that that was my dream?"

Gloria was stunned.

Sasha slowly moved to Qiwei's side, and Lucy stood behind Qiwei. The two women were smoking in silence.

"David, why do you want to install Sianwistan?" Lin Wen said suddenly.

"..." David looked at Lin Wen and then at Gloria.

Gloria opened her mouth to say something, but Lin Wen raised his hand and blocked it in front of Gloria. Gloria wanted to press down Lin Wen's hand, but when he stretched out his hand, Gloria

But she put it down again, chose to shut her mouth, and then sat quietly but impatiently on the hospital bed.

Lin Wen looked into David's eyes with a hint of encouragement.

He knows David very well. This kid is not a stable and honest guy. The blood flowing in his bones is hot and he likes stimulation. To put it bluntly, David has a lot of violent genes hidden in his body.

You can tell that this kid always likes to watch violent Black Mewtwo.

Who is a serious person who would look at that stuff?

Isn’t it bad to look astringent?

And all this time, Gloria has been suppressing David. She is indeed doing good for David. She is forcing her dream on David, but at least the path she chooses for David is a safe and wealthy one.

The road is not a road full of dangers. You must know that few mercenaries in Night City have long lives, and few cyberpunks can live for more than ten years. They are all short-lived ghosts. The so-called

The legend was only passed down by word of mouth among the lower-class guys, and the big shots in the company refused to take a second look at it.

legend?

In the eyes of those people, it's just a joke.

From a mother's perspective, Gloria is right.

But, this is not what David really wants.

Hey, this kid is just a dull gourd. If you don't ask him, he may never tell you what he wants.

He was like Gloria's puppet. Gloria's dream was forced on him. In this era, it was a good thing, but also a bad thing. The good thing was that it gave David a goal.

Like other gears, living in a haze. The bad thing is that once David chooses to embark on a path, it is difficult to quit. It is impossible for him to realize both dreams.

Looking at Lin Wen, David hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I want power. If I had power, what happened yesterday would not happen. If I had power, I would not be bullied in school.

If you have the power..."

David's voice slowly dropped.

"But have you ever considered that Gloria's choice is the best for you?" Lin Wen looked at David and said.

"In Stanley's daily news reports, there are many names of company personnel on the Dead Man Lotto." David said solemnly, "Rather than handing over my life to others, I would rather believe in myself. The person who was attacked this morning

Aren’t they from the company?”

"But nothing happened to them! You also saw that the vehicle they equipped is bulletproof and shockproof. Even the rocket launchers of the Animal Gang cannot be destroyed." Gloria couldn't help but say.

"But what about next time? What about next time?" David looked at Gloria, "Mom, if you give your hope to others, you will not be so lucky every time."

"My dream has never been to stand on the top of a deserted tower. Mom, my dream is to live freely. I want to live as I want."

"Then you will die, David. This world will not allow you to live as you wish. Do you think that after pressing the button on the Sian Westan, you can live as you wish? That thing is good, but it can be installed with that

There are so many people with prosthetics, and there are many more advanced prosthetics. Why do you think you can live as you want? Do you think you are special than others?" Lin Wen lit a cigarette.

"I support this kid, Gloria, what's the benefit of being a company dog? Lin Wen and company dogs often have conflicts." Sasha said next to him.

What she fucking hates most is the company!

The first thing I hate is biology, the second thing is military use, and the third thing is nonsense!

Lin Wen glared at Sasha.

Ah, this dead cat, really, she can really say anything!

Well, although Lin Wen doesn’t support David being a company dog.

After all, Lin Wen understands those bastards very well. People like David are a little smart, but really want to become the backbone of the company? That's impossible.

David will only become a special screw, used by the company, until the day he loses his own value is the day David is deprived of everything by the company.

If he is not around, David's future is of course the best way to work in a company. It is the safest and has the highest achievement limit, but... isn't this the case when he is around?

Lin Wen would not leave David alone. He didn't want Gloria to cry every day after losing her son. How upsetting would that be?

Therefore, even if David chooses the path of cyberpunk, there will of course be dangers, but there is no place in Night City that is not dangerous. However, compared with the attention of the company, the mercenaries and gangsters in Night City, under Lin Wen

Right under their noses...they want to hurt David?

It’s not that Lin Wen is bragging. If David can lose a hair next to him, then they are considered awesome!

Thinking of this, Lin Wen looked at David and said, "Shall we go out and talk alone?"

Gloria immediately protested.

Lin Wen stood up, turned around and looked at Gloria, and said with a smile: "Gloria, there are no roses on the circuit boards in Night City. Being a company employee may not be as good as you think.

."

"Then it's no different from a contract of betrayal."

"Don't worry, I will talk to him carefully."

Without waiting for Gloria to retort, Lin Wen hugged David and walked out of the ward.

Gloria raised her hand to her forehead and sighed deeply.
