Gloria placed her hand on the fingerprint lock, only to find red text appearing on it, indicating that the rent was due.

For a moment, she looked at David with some embarrassment.

We can't exactly let guests climb through the window, can we?

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.

Seeing this, Silver Wolf, standing behind the two, couldn't help but cover his face.

Just how poor are you? No wonder your mother didn't go to a proper hospital after her injury, but instead went to a shady clinic that sells human organs...

Silver Wolf sighed.

Help people to the end.

She flicked her finger, and instantly, a green indicator appeared, and the door opened.

"Huh? Looks like the machine's malfunctioning? Haha, please excuse the misunderstanding, guest. This place's been in disrepair for years; a few problems are to be expected..."

While laughing, Gloria led the silver wolf and David into the room.

"Haha, sorry, I'm usually quite busy with work and don't have much time to tidy up the house..."

Looking at the somewhat messy room, Gloria scratched her head.

Normally, no one comes to visit, so it's just her and David, which is fine. But now that guests have come, she feels a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm not picky..."

Silver Wolf said, sitting down on a chair nearby.

Fortunately, although the house was a bit messy, it was still clean enough to give Silver Wolf a place to sit down.

"Okay, now can you tell me what happened?"

After sitting down, Gloria looked at the two of them and said with a serious expression.

"Mom, it's like this."

David quickly recounted in detail how he met Silver Wolf after being unconscious in the car accident, and how he discovered evidence of the illegal clinic selling organs.

"So... if Miss Silver Wolf hadn't found out, I'd probably be dismembered and cremated by now?"

After hearing David's description, Gloria looked at David with a hint of fear on her face.

It wasn't the fear of almost losing his life that frightened David, but the fear of what would happen to him after he died.

I know my own son very well.

If he dies, David will definitely not be able to continue his studies, and might even go astray...

After all, Gloria knew that David liked watching sunglasses.

Even though she had just survived a close call, Gloria was concerned about David and paid no attention to the fact that she had almost lost her life.

"You guys chat first, I'll go prepare the meal. There's still some food in the fridge."

After glancing at the time, Gloria stood up and said something, leaving David and Silver Wolf behind.

However, looking at Silver Wolf sitting on the table playing on his phone, David didn't know how to start a conversation.

Moreover, Silver Wolf seemed to be fighting a tough battle, and David didn't want to disturb him.

Bored, he wandered around the room and, by chance, saw the prosthetic body placed in the corner of the room again.

This prosthetic body is very special. Although David doesn't understand it, he knows its origin.

If I were to get this prosthetic body... would I become stronger? Strong enough that no one would look down on me...?

David pondered silently in his heart.

Although he had always listened to his mother, the bullying he had suffered at school and the things he had witnessed had given David some of his own thoughts.

However, for his mother's sake, he forced himself to suppress some of his other thoughts.

In this life, besides our own thoughts, the expectations of our family members are also a heavy burden.

David is a case in point; this shackle came from his family, but even more so from himself.

David didn't want to go to school anymore and wanted to work, but Gloria rejected his idea and wanted him to graduate properly and then go to work for a company.

There's nothing wrong with that. In this world, the best job an ordinary person can find is to work for a company.

However, she somewhat overlooked David's own feelings.

"If you want to install this thing, I advise you to give up on that idea, kid."

Beside him, looking at the prosthetic body in David's hand, Silver Wolf glanced at him and said indifferently.

"why?"

David was a little curious.

“I can see that you can’t control this thing. You have talent, but that’s all. In reality, you’re just a slightly stronger mediocre person… My words may be a bit harsh, but they are the truth. In this world, unless a miracle happens, some things are hard to change, such as your inability to control this prosthetic body without any side effects.”

Silver Wolf looked at David: "The original owner of this prosthetic body went mad, and you will go mad sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Fate has always been fair to you. It sets a price for everything in secret."

As he spoke, Silver Wolf chewed on his bubble gum, and then, to David's surprise, the bubble popped, leaving a mouthful of gum.

"how do you know?"

David was somewhat puzzled.

"I killed the previous owner of this prosthetic body, but I didn't expect it to end up in your hands. That's quite interesting."

The owner of this prosthetic body is the cybernetic psychopath David saw in his dream.

David's eyes widened upon hearing Silver Wolf's words.

It turns out that the person who was speculated about by countless people in Night City was actually Silver Wolf?

However, considering Silver Wolf's incredible skills just now, David didn't find it so surprising.

......

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Arasaka Yoriyuki, the head of the Arasaka Group and son of Arasaka Saburo, is sitting in his top-floor office in the Arasaka Tower.

As the de facto uncrowned king of Night City, there are very few things that can excite Arasaka Yorinobu.

Aside from the sex doll he frequented, it was this incident that happened today.

At that moment, a woman stood in front of Arasaka Yorinobu's table.

"Have you found him? That person?"

"Arasaka Yoriyuki asked."

"I'm sorry, Lord Lai Xuan, that person is an extremely powerful hacker. They have erased all traces of themselves. We have tried our best, but we still haven't been able to find them."

To others, the woman was a big shot in the Arasaka Group, but in front of Arasaka Yorinobu, she was like a greenhorn, sweat beading on her forehead as she spoke.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Good-for-nothings!"

As expected, after he finished speaking, he was met with a furious scolding from Arasaka Yorinobu.

"The company spends so much money supporting you all, and you tell me I asked you to investigate someone, and you couldn't find them even after a whole day?"

As Lai Xuan spoke, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Yoriyuki Arasaka naturally saw the sunglasses dream that swept the entire city.

Furthermore, he had his men analyze the footage and ultimately confirmed that no one had tampered with the black-clad figure. In other words, the scene of the black figure killing the former soldier with cyberbullying was not fabricated!

The other party truly possessed that godlike special ability!

Arasaka Yorinobu coveted this ability and naturally wouldn't let it go.

However, his men spent an entire day and still couldn't find the dark figure; they were utterly useless!

"I'm sorry, Lord Lai Xuan, the person who made the move is an extremely skilled hacker! In the process of tracking down the perpetrator, we have already lost several hackers, all of whom were top-level hackers who had installed prosthetic programs with military technology."

The woman looked at Arasaka Yoriyuki with trepidation and spoke urgently.

"I don't want to hear your complaints. I just want to know, have you found the person? If not, when will you find them? No matter how strong the other party is, can they be stronger than the entire Night City? Can they be stronger than the entire Arasaka? If not, then go find them!"

Arasaka looked at the woman with a cold smile.

"I...I understand, sir. Please give me some more time. We will find that person as soon as possible, and then...we will personally deliver him to you."

The woman quickly patted her ample breasts, causing them to sway with her movements.

Only after hearing the woman swear an oath did Arasaka Yorinobu's expression soften slightly.

Then, he sat down in the chair, waved to the woman, and gestured for her to come over.

Seeing this, the woman seemed to have guessed what this local tyrant wanted to do. She immediately smiled and walked up to Arasaka Yorinobu, then gently knelt down in front of him.

The next moment, Lai Xuan roughly pressed her head down, and she couldn't help but let out sobs and gurgling sounds.

......

In David's house.

Silver Wolf did not linger. After enjoying a delicious dinner, he left.

Silver Wolf didn't say anything about the prosthetic body, nor did he say that he was taking it back just because he killed the person. He simply left David a phone number.

"If anything comes up, you can contact me later. Of course, I hope you never dial this number."

Silver Wolf's eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

“I understand. Take care, Miss Silver Wolf.”

After politely seeing the silver wolf off, Gloria slowly closed the door. Then, she looked at David, who was holding the prosthetic Sianwistan, and said irritably:

"Forget about it. I won't let you go down that path. It's too dangerous. Besides, someone has already reserved the prosthetic body you have. Once we're done with our business, I'll hand it over to them."

"Yes, I know, Mom."

Seeing this, David, not wanting his mother to worry, nodded and said.

......

Silver Wolf, walking down the street, suddenly paused. She could sense that someone was looking for her.

"Interesting. I hope you won't disappoint me."
