"So I spent some time diverting their attention, you know, faking signals, disrupting the chain of command, and so on."
"Hmph."
Berry neither confirmed nor denied Blue Eyes' words, merely giving a cold snort.
"What's the situation at the lab?"
Having already left the target location, Berry didn't know the final outcome and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, the lab has already collapsed. Even if the Biotechnica people come, they won't find anything."
"We succeeded," Blue Eyes added finally.
Moritz was eliminated, and the "primordial solution" was destroyed. It seemed the matter was completely resolved.
At least the biohazard crisis won't happen in Night City.
Whatever Night Corp's schemes are, they won't be obstructed by this issue anymore.
And Berry successfully got her revenge, venting the anger from the sneak attack she suffered back home.
In short, this was a win-win situation, which is like winning twice.
"Also, here is the compensation for the cooperation."
As if remembering something, Blue Eyes suddenly said this.
While Berry was still confused, there was a sudden ding, showing a new deposit in her account.
Berry hadn't paid much attention at first, but when she glanced at it, she was stunned by the long string of zeros that followed.
"Holy hell, that much!?"
Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Even with Berry's sensitivity to money, she couldn't count the zeros all at once, and she nearly choked on her breath.
Finally, Berry saw clearly that millions of eurodollars had been added to her account.
Berry was overwhelmed by the massive figure from this Zibeng Family and was speechless for a moment.
"It's just a small token of gratitude, please forgive the small amount."
Hearing Blue Eyes' dismissive tone, Berry wanted nothing more than to punch him.
Good grief, having money makes you something special, huh?
You think having money lets you act all high and mighty in front of me?
Sorry, but it actually does.
Looking at the long string of numbers in her account, Berry managed to hold back her sharp tongue.
Struggling to calm the shock within, Berry tried her best to appear unmoved by the wealth.
But in the end, she couldn't help it.
Damn it, a Corp is a Corp; they sure know how to throw money around.
They didn't even blink when dropping several million.
No wonder people in Night City curse them to high heaven, yet so many are still willing to be the Corp's dogs.
Good grief, they really pay out in hard cash; who wouldn't be tempted?
But everything has two sides, and Berry wasn't so easily bought by cold, hard cash.
She forced her eyes away from the lovely numbers and voiced her confusion.
"Just for one mission, this seems like too much."
"Hmm, indeed." Blue Eyes didn't refute Berry, but he had his own reasons.
"However, as I said, this is a gift for the 'Hive'."
"Night Corp is very optimistic about your development, and we are confident that we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future, many."
"Most importantly..."
Blue Eyes left her hanging at the last moment, piquing her curiosity.
"Most importantly, Ms. Berry, do you think that just because you played a trick on Biotechnica, Biotechnica won't come looking for trouble with you..."
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing Blue Eyes say this, Berry finally snapped back to reality, frowning as she pondered his words.
