Chapter 130 David's Promotion

After completing these tasks, David reported to Valerie.

At this time, Valerie was still talking on the phone.

From the few words David heard, it seemed to be related to the recent mayoral election.

That's right, if we can get Arasaka's people to win the mayoral election, it will be easier to act in Night City.

Looking around Valerie's office, David felt a little envious. He wondered when he could have such a big office.

Now that he has taken root in Arasaka, promotion is just around the corner. Being able to become a section chief in a popular department at this age means that he has a bright future.

However, he felt that this was the end of his career in this position.

Unless Valerie's immediate boss gets promoted, and then everyone moves up to the next position, I will have a chance to take Valerie's position.

or……

David was shocked by his own thought and immediately corrected his thoughts.

Valerie was very good to him and he treated her as his stepmother. How could he think like that?

Valerie ended the call and was very happy to see that it was David who came.

"You did a great job on this mission. You will be promoted tomorrow. After the promotion, the company will arrange a property for you in the company square, and you won't have to take the subway to and from get off work anymore."

David was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he was also a little worried because he had not completed the mission well.

Not only did Faraday leak secrets, but BT also came knocking on their door. A large amount of military technology was destroyed, and urban construction was also damaged.

Even though the Terrorist Squad was not in trouble, it doesn't mean that the Night City government won't have trouble.

Anyway, Night City was slapped in the face this time. As the mayor, it would be unreasonable for Lucius Lane not to find some trouble.

Moreover, David also showed up in public for this mission, so he was the main person in charge anyway. Not only was he not punished, but he was promoted instead.

So David frowned and asked with some concern: "Is the loss to the municipal government not a problem? After all, the destructive power of the Cybernetic Power has caused a lot of losses."

Valerie shook her glass, looked at the orange champagne in it, and said lightly, "We are the victims. The military technology failed to snatch our prototype technology, but it was snatched away by others.

In order to deal with Arasaka's transport team, they used missile vehicles and armored vehicles. It was really shameless. Even so, they were beaten to a pulp by Kongo. This was a great honor for Arasaka. You can imagine that Arasaka's stock price will soar.

Now that Militech has been in trouble, all losses should be borne by Militech. Not only that, Arasaka should also demand compensation from Militech. "

David was shocked by Valerie's method of turning the tables. According to her, this incident was actually a good thing for Arasaka.

However, there is one thing that does not make sense, that is, BT broke into the Arasaka Tower, not the Military Technology Building.

"Then he broke into Arasaka Tower."

Valerie glanced at David. He was usually a nice guy, but today he seemed so stupid.

"Faraday is dead, there is no evidence. Even if Arasaka is responsible, it is not difficult for Arasaka to deal with this matter. They can just push a scapegoat out."

Speaking of scapegoats, David subconsciously thought it would be himself.

But it doesn't make sense. If I have to be the scapegoat, why should I give myself a promotion?

When Valerie saw David's confused look, she knew he was thinking something else.

This made Valerie giggle, "You didn't think the substitute ghost I was talking about was you, did you?"

"If it's not me, then who is it?" David scratched his head and asked Valerie.

David's appearance is still very good. Compared with those ugly guys in the Counterintelligence Department, it can be said that he is a dimensionality reduction attack.

When Valerie was in Arasaka, she was only focused on advancement and had no intention of falling in love.

Now seeing David, that dry heart seemed to be moved a little.

Valerie came over and pinched his face. "You, you, how can you be so cute? The scapegoat is that guy Carter Smith."

"Why him?"

David asked in shock. In his opinion, this colleague who introduced him to the industry was a very good person. He didn't understand why Valerie wanted him to be a scapegoat.

Speaking of Carter Smith, Valerie's face showed a hint of ridicule. You are of a certain rank, and you dare to sow discord between us.

Valerie said to David: "The human heart is like floating ice on the sea. You can only see the surface. There is only so much more hidden under the deep sea.

That Carter, who seemed like a good guy on the surface, was actually viciously eyeing our positions. That guy actually reported us to my old boss.

Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Jenkins, and he told me the news. I originally wanted to get rid of him, but now I can make good use of him. "

Arthur Jenkins did want to guard against Valerie, but there was no conflict between the two, and they got along very well. Now Valerie has become a senior member of Arasaka, and it can be said that she has reached the top.

Unlike Abernathy and I, we were at loggerheads. If there was no conflict, I believed Valerie would not do anything irrational.

What's more, Valerie has been under his command for at least eight years, if not ten, and he thinks he can see clearly about her. Now, any ass wants to sow discord between the two. How dare you?

"It could be like this." David felt a chill in his heart. He had never thought that Carter was such a person.

He appears to be a good person in front of me, teaching me step by step, but he is so vicious in private.

"But don't worry, he won't affect you anymore," Valerie comforted.

David nodded. He suddenly realized that he had to be alert at all times in Arasaka Tower. Who knows when he might be tricked.

In general, David has too little experience, and his mother protected him too well, so he has not seen the unpredictable human heart.

"Thank you, Minister. If you hadn't told me this, I might still be kept in the dark." David said gratefully.

"Be smarter in the future and don't trust others so easily. In Night City, you are always the most reliable person. If you are betrayed, you deserve it." Valerie reminded.

As expected, famous sayings are famous sayings. Everyone has a deep understanding of this.

But the world shouldn't be like this.

David took a deep breath and decided to live up to Valerie's expectations because she was so nice to him.

"I was almost harmed by a villain because I didn't know people well. If you don't mind, I would like to take you as my godmother." David said firmly.

Valerie looked at him strangely, but she still approved of David's loyalty to her heart.

She smiled and patted David on the shoulder, saying, "Forget about accepting me as your godmother. I don't believe in religion. But I believe in you, David. One day, you will be in my place now."

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely work hard!" David said excitedly.

Valerie smiled and nodded, then picked up the glass and took a sip.

Then a card was thrown out and David caught it steadily.

"I was originally planning to enroll you in the Trauma Team Platinum Membership, but I didn't expect you already have it. Take it. This is a reissued card. It doesn't conflict with yours, but the funds won't be transferred from the company's account."

David looked at the card in his hand and guessed who bought the insurance for him.

PS: It is said that Adam's Hammer is a youth version. In addition to the rumors in the board game, there is also the expansion pack of the board game Edgewalker, in which the attributes of Adam's Hammer are completely reduced.

Although the other three attributes of Adam's Hammer were strengthened, the reaction was cut in half, which was a bit too harsh. Except for the physical attribute breaking 10, the other attributes did not break 10.

However, Adam's hammer is still very powerful. He will definitely attack first, and if the opponent can't withstand it, he will be killed instantly. He is worthy of being the legend of Coconut Milk City.
