MTLNOVEL Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Is It Necessary...
"Although it's second-hand, it's been well maintained..."
Though the price was a bit high, AR15 thought it was worth buying.
But when she realized her purse was empty, she awkwardly put down the scope in her hand.
Not only was her pocket as clean as her face, but even her account was the same...
In fact, she didn't even have an account now. Once her identity with G&K was gone, she became an illegal doll.
"Have you not looked at your phone since you got it? Your new identity and account are on it, and there should be some money stored inside. Buying this little gadget shouldn't be a problem."
Seeing AR15's embarrassment, HK416 reminded her directly.
When she first came to Renault's side, she was the same. Although Renault rarely said anything, he definitely took care of his dolls.
Even when Griffin settled the commission, Renault show much generosity.
After being reminded by HK416, AR15 skeptically took out her phone and quickly saw the amount of money stored in her phone account. Although it was not as much as her savings with Griffin, it wasn't much different.
The money she had saved at Griffin was the reward for several missions, but she hadn't done anything for Renault yet...
Feeling somewhat complicated as she walked out of the store with the box in her arms, AR15 saw Renault sitting on the roadside, smoking and making a phone call.
This guy... as the boss of a security contracting company, couldn't he pay a little attention to his image?
"Wanna see AR15? Okay, she's here. Talk to her yourself."
Hearing the persistent voice on the phone, Renault sighed helplessly and waved to AR15, handing her the phone.
With the box in her arms, AR15 took the phone from Renault somewhat puzzled. Before she could bring the phone to her ear, she heard a very familiar voice from the phone.
"AR15!? Is it you!?"
Persica shouted loudly, as if afraid AR15 wouldn't hear her.
Hearing Persica's voice, AR15 sighed with some complexity. "Yes, it's me. No need to shout, I can hear you."
AR15 never expected to break away from the AR Team, even from Griffin's sequence. Now, she didn't know what expression to use facing Persicaria, the creator of the AR Team.
"AR15! Are you okay!? Did that guy do anything strange to you!?"
Upon hearing AR15's voice, Persica breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately began to dig deeper.
She was worried that AR15 might have been taken advantage of by Renault.
Hearing Persica's anxious tone, AR15 was also taken aback. She had never seen Persica so anxious before. Feeling slightly moved, she slowed down her pace and spoke, "I'm fine, nothing happened."
"That's good, but wait, where's the video call function on this phone?"
Hearing Persica's frantic voice, AR15 directly opened the holographic projection function on her phone.
Suddenly, Persica's unkempt appearance appeared in front of AR15.
It's still the same old look, no change at all.
Seeing Persica's disheveled appearance, although AR15 hadn't been separated from Persica for too long, she felt as if she had crossed a millennium. Nevertheless, it was comforting to see Persica here.
"Ah! AR15! Let me see! I don't believe that guy didn't do anything to you! Remember, whether it's Griffin's signal or the Parapluie... Uh, anyway, all the previous doll feedback signals have disappeared. That man must have done something!"
Halfway through her sentence, Persica also noticed that AR15 was still on the street.
Although she didn't know exactly where she was, some things were not suitable to be said in public.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if eavesdroppers heard them.
"Yeah, take a look." AR15 sighed, but her lips curved slightly, indicating she was in a good mood.
As the two interacted through holographic communication, Renault only glanced at it a few times before losing interest.
One reason was that he wasn't interested in such things, and the other was that when AR15 opened the holographic communication, Persica's image was recognized by someone.
Isn't she the famous figure who led the development of the second-generation tactical dolls and the weapon imprinting system?
Even in the black market, there were people who could recognize Persica.
Of course, this was also related to Persica's value. After all, she was the leader of 16lab. Anything related to Persica could fetch a good price in the black market.
Dolls were no exception. After all, Persica's 16lab specialized in researching new types of tactical dolls.
"Someone's eyeing AR15."
HK416, who was standing next to Renault, whispered.
"Yeah, I see. No need to act for now. They won't dare to make a move on the street." Renault spoke, casting a glance at the corner of the street and the few people hidden on the rooftop.
These guys weren't here to ambush AR15. They were also looking for prey.
As long as AR15 went to some remote place or somewhere closer to their headquarters, these guys would immediately call their companions or subordinates, capture AR15, a doll who could fetch a high price, and sell her.
These things were not uncommon in this city. Although the manager of the black market controlled the entire city, they clearly didn't intend to govern it like a model city.
The black market did have its rules, but in this lawless place, chaos could also bring them considerable benefits.
"Really! And they said he's the most knowledgeable guide here! That guy clearly wanted to take advantageof us!"
Just as Renault and HK416 were assessing the ill-intentioned people, Nagant Revolver's complaining voice came from the nearby alley.
With a wallet in her hand, Nagant Revolver, who had taken out the banknotes from inside and tossed the wallet away, and P38, who was carrying a large bag of seasoning, walked out of the alley.
Drake followed behind, feeling somewhat ashamed.
He really hadn't expected this situation to occur, and what surprised him even more was that it was only some seasoning, yet the price was unexpectedly high, even higher than the total cost of his commission this time!
What surprised him even more was that these guys were willing to take risks for some cooking ingredients...
Is it really necessary? Are these seasonings made of gold?
