Chapter 137: Dip the belt with iodophor and disinfect it while applying it

Ling Luxian walked up to David and patted him on the shoulder.

David didn't know what was wrong with him. He was just being sarcastic to himself, but now he looked so happy. His mood swings were too big.

It's time to teach David a lesson about the meanness of adults.

Ling Luxian said with a smile: "You did a great job. Gloria and I are proud of you. Now you are a man.

I think it's time to have a conversation between men, don't you? "

While questioning David, Ling Lu placed her hand on his left shoulder, exerting a little force.

This tremendous force made David feel like his shoulder blade was about to break, and he almost cried out in pain.

But he was frightened by Ling Luxian's look. He swallowed back the cry of pain that was rising in his throat and nodded repeatedly.

Ling Luxian then relaxed a little, making David feel much better.

He turned around and looked at Gloria with a smile, and said, "David and I will go out for a chat. You just pack up at home and get ready to move."

"Okay." Gloria looked at David gently, her eyes full of reluctance. He had already anticipated what Ling Luxian was going to do, but she still agreed to Ling Luxian's proposal.

Ling Luxian put his arm around David's shoulders and waved to Gloria without looking back, like they were good brothers.

Gloria could only wait at home with helplessness on her face.

Ling Luxian took him to the underground garage, and David thought he was going to beat him up in a place where no one was around.

That's a bit too superficial.

When David saw Ling Luxian's sword in the stone, it seemed like he had grasped something, but his thoughts were rudely interrupted by Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian stuffed David into the car, not caring whether he felt good or not.

"Why so violent?" David muttered softly as he fastened his seat belt.

Ling Luxian sat in the driver's seat, but instead of starting the car, he extended his right hand to David.

"What are you doing?" David looked at Ling Luxian suspiciously.

“Give me back what’s “mine.”

Ling Luxian emphasized the word "my".

David's pupils suddenly contracted as he connected Ling Luxian with the main culprit who killed Tanaka.

Yes, he is rich and high-profile, often walking around in expensive clothes.

And being able to send oneself directly to Arasaka Corporation, it can be said to be the most important counterintelligence department, and should have a place within Arasaka.

In addition, Jimmy Kurosaki's Sword in the Stone disappeared at the scene, and he is now sitting in this car.

The most important thing is that he let me return what belongs to him. Now all I have in my hand is "that".

David silently took out a piece of white cloth from his pocket.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

Ling Luxian took it and said, "Very good. Now we can send it over for repair without any additional material costs."

David's eyes widened and he asked, "Did you really kill Tanaka?!"

Ling Luxian didn't answer him, but started the car and did a tailspin out of the underground garage.

David didn't ask any more questions. If Ling Luxian wanted to tell him, he would tell him himself.

On the contrary, if he doesn’t want to tell me, he won’t reveal any clues to me.

Since he has revealed so much, he will tell me eventually. The reason he doesn't tell me now is just that the time has not come yet.

Ling Luxian took him to the dam, a place where he could enjoy a panoramic view of Night City. This was the cheapest place where he could observe Night City from all angles.

It was obvious that both of them liked this place very much. The last time David met Faraday, it was also in this place.

It’s just that the last time he met Faraday, David was able to easily control him, but now it’s no longer possible.

After getting off the car, Ling Luxian first punched him, causing David to bleed from the nose.

"why?"

David was stunned by the sudden punch and didn't understand why he did that.

"You think you are so great? That's because you don't know what is in front of you now."

Ling Luxian felt that it was time to tell David his identity.

"I am a board member of KANTO headquarters and president of KANTO North America. I was the one who raided the Arasaka military facility.

Oh, yes. With your authority, you don’t understand these yet, so I’ll just give you a simple introduction.

I was the one who brought down Susan Abernathy from Arasaka, and you became the minister now because of my connections. Do you understand now?"

David looked at him stupidly, "I thought you were a high-ranking official at Arasaka. Why are you telling me this?"

Ling Luxian took him to sit on the edge of the railing without any explanation.

Let him look at the Night City below and ask: "What do you see?"

David was confused, but he followed his instructions and looked at Night City.

This is Santo Domingo, which is not the worst place in Night City, but it is also one of the places with a bad environment.

Looking at the gray city, there are people flowing like ants.

Numerous factory buildings dot the industrial heart of Night City.

Yes, although the northern industrial zone is in Watson District, the industrial heart of Night City is still in Santo Domingo.

Looking at the billowing black smoke coming out of the factory and thinking of what Ling Luxian had said to him a long time ago, David felt something.

"Are you trying to tell me that with great power comes great responsibility?"

Yes, David noticed that he was becoming more and more indifferent.

Perhaps if Ling Luxian hadn't enlightened me this time, I would have gone astray.

Ling Luxian glanced at the silly boy. He was not Biyangde Parker, and he was not Uncle Ben, so he didn't want to die young.

So he punched him on the top of the head, causing a big bump on David's head.

"It hurts so much." David covered his head with his hands and cried in pain.

"Hiss~" David poked the bulge, thinking that he had been too heavy-handed.

"Where did I go wrong?"

Ling Luxian stood up with his hands in his pockets and said, "The reality is that the greater the ability, the greater the power. But when you have power, you must also take care of the people around you."

Then Ling Luxian asked again: "What is power?"

David was silent. He didn't know how to respond.

"I do not know."

Ling Luxian said to him meaningfully: "Power does not mean you can do whatever you want. That is something a lunatic can do, but it does not necessarily mean he has the power.

Power means that if you don’t want to do something, others dare not do anything to you. This is power.

You have lost yourself in the false power, look at yourself now, do you have time to spend with your family?"

David shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No."

Ling Luxian patted his shoulder and said, "A man who doesn't take time to spend with his family is not a real man. How long has it been since you came home? Try to think about the people around you and what they would think."

Then he pinched the prosthetic on David's body and said, "You can install prosthetics on your limbs, but you can't install prosthetics on your soul."
