Chapter 1033: The Swindler (2400 Supplement)

"Gaia... is alive?"

Aaron was somewhat speechless and looked around: "Don't forget... this is inside the Gaia Network! With its computing power, us speaking ill of it right under its nose... we have surely already been discovered and recorded..."

"So..." Aaron concluded: "You did this on purpose... You intentionally didn't say this secret in reality, but rather within the Gaia Network, just to drag me into this... because you have already gotten yourself into huge trouble!"

The old man's expression stiffened, then he confessed: "That's right... My data collection touched the sensitive nerves of the upper echelons of Night City... I don't know why, but the security clearance for this data was so high... Now, I want to escape Night City, go to another city, and start a brand new life. Thinking it over, only you can help me."

"It looks like your situation is very urgent; for all I know, the RoboCop is already on its way to catch you..."

Aaron, on the contrary, appeared leisurely.

RoboCops are the backbone of the Night City nobility; over 90% of their bodies are mechanical, yet they possess a human brain.

Fiona usually lives frugally, even using the most basic model of chip, which often tends to have small glitches.

Well, regardless of anything else, the husky maid I keep is still a bit more important than an old man's life.

Aaron nodded and likewise popped out of the Gaia Network.

"Ah!!"

"I am right at..." A flash of joy quickly crossed the old man's face.

"Haha... stupid woman... but she's quite rich... when I first saw the account balance, it really gave me a fright!"

Aaron rubbed his chin.

At this moment, the old man finally caught up: "Mr. Aaron... you walk too fast... and also... beware of the Gaia consciousness... I even suspect it is secretly feeding on the consciousness of chip users... This is also the root cause of schizophrenia!"

Just then, Aaron suddenly heard a scream!

It was Fiona!

His expression changed slightly, and he rushed out directly, leaving the stunned old man in his seat.

"Did you... let an unlicensed merchant maintain your Gaia chip?"

"Actually, those nutrient pastes are specifically formulated for pet dogs..."

The old man's complexion turned ashen, his eyes staring fixedly at Aaron: "Will you help me or not?"

But at this time, his big nose had turned bright red from drinking too much alcohol.

Fiona habitually agreed, and her figure instantly vanished.

"What's going on?"

"Mm!"

"Over there!"

Out of guilt for this joy, he slightly utilized his divination ability and saw a scene.

"This kind of thing... I had already guessed it."

"Wuu wuu wuu... impossible, I have always been very careful, I never believe in those online wealth management projects... I don't even do the ones recommended by the Life Bank... my heart... my artificial heart..."

"Fiona, have you encountered an online scam?"

"Is it Old Matt? I've traded with him a few times, and after this purchase of a large amount of nutrient paste... he... he promised to help me maintain my chip for free..."

Fiona's eyes widened, staring fixedly at her account.

And beneath this colorful, dazzling Light, who knows how much sin is hidden?

"Damn profiteer, pay me back!!!"

His palm waved forcefully, seemingly to emphasize his tone: "That silly woman... sure enough, women with rabbit-sized brains are the most mindless... haha, I only gave her a small discount on the nutrient paste, and she trusted me to help her maintain her chip..."

This sentence was more useful than anything; Fiona immediately stopped crying and became full of fighting spirit: "Boss, let's set off immediately! I want to beat that old bastard to death!"

Green Forest Clinic.

Possessing the highest authority for the villa, Aaron went through unimpeded and burst into the husky maid's room, only to see Fiona slumped on the floor as if she had lost her soul.

Old Matt was drinking and bragging in high spirits, not seeing that a pair of hateful eyes had already spotted him.

Without thinking, he slapped him across the face.

Slap!

The husky maid's upper body also fell over, a bit of spirit returning to her eyes:

"My money... my money..."

It was already night, and the colorful neon lights were shooting everywhere, bringing Light to dispel the darkness.

"Oh!"

A compass appeared in Aaron's hand, which he then casually tossed to Fiona: "It can guide you to find the person or thing you most want to see! Go!"

This kind of despondency was something Aaron had never seen in Fiona before.

Therefore, they were not involved in the machine rebellion and remained the loyal guards of the major financial groups and nobility.

Aaron walked into Fiona's room: "Stop crying, I can find Old Matt!"

"This is my first time seeing someone ask for help by dragging others into the water."

At this moment, her bloodshot eyes were staring fixedly at the compass.

"Yes..."

Black Rose Bar.

Aaron sighed: "Tell me your address, and then I will think about whether to help you..."

Aaron didn't say much more, put on his coat, and the two walked out of the clinic.

"Case solved... even if you didn't do online wealth management, your chip caught a virus... it's even worse than wealth management!"

Miss Fiona finally came to her senses and let out a wail, crying very sadly, gasping for air as if she could suffocate and faint at any moment.

It was the scene of Miss Fiona holding a large box of nutrient paste, meeting a black-market merchant in a small alley.

Aaron glanced at it and discovered the balance was 0, yet there had actually been a large transfer of twenty years previously!

He immediately transferred over several days of time, barely avoiding having his maid meet an untimely death right then and there.

……

For some reason, Aaron was reminded of the images of a husky sobbing on the internet, and his heart was filled with amusement.

With only the old man left, he looked at all of this in disarray: "Are you kidding me? I was talking about the Secret of the Leviathan tycoon... Could it be that in his eyes, this isn't even worth as much as a fool maid's wallet?"

Feixue let out a loud cry and rushed out like an arrow released from a bowstring.

He stared at Feixue and asked a question.

Miss Feixue clearly did not suspect anything, or rather, her brain had already been occupied by Old Matt and money.

He grabbed Feixue by the collar again, lifted the husky maid up entirely, and asked curiously.

Old Matt looked very simple and honest on the outside, with a striking, large nose.

Feixue was stunned, and she cried even more sorrowfully.

Seemingly sensing her resentment, the compass spun rapidly, pointing in one direction.

Aaron shook his head and kicked Feixue, who was about to cry herself into a faint: "Stop crying, prepare to log off... go find Old Matt and get your money back!"

Accompanied by a roar, a black Shadow lunged over, directly tackling Old Matt to the ground and causing him to let out a scream that drowned out heavy metal music: "Ahhh!"

Aaron followed behind and saw Feixue pin Old Matt to the ground with a tiger-like pounce, her cherry-red mouth opening to reveal white teeth that directly bit off one of Old Matt's ears in a bloody scene, leaving him speechless: "Although I've always called you a husky maid in my heart, you aren't actually a husky, how can you bite people?... It wouldn't be good if you bit something dirty!"
