Chapter 76 - Chapter 76 Advertisement

"Power Excitement Agent, a new era combat stimulant developed with significant investment by Ascension Technology. With no side effects, its powerful acceleration effect can handle various situations..."

On the television, Luoqi, dressed in a refined suit, was speaking confidently on stage.

In the apartment, Gloria, sitting on the sofa, looked at the television screen, somewhat lost in thought.

Her life had completely changed in the past two days.

First, there was the car accident, where her son discovered her secret, then David had the Sandevistan installed and clashed with Mann and his crew.

And just yesterday, Gloria received a message from her company, informing her that she had been fired.

There was no reason given, just a unilateral notice.

The car accident prevented Gloria from going to work as usual the next day, and the company didn't even ask what happened to her. They directly notified Gloria and carried out a unilateral dismissal.

Gloria didn't choose to question or explain, because she knew it was all meaningless.

However, this incident only added insult to injury for her, who was already in a difficult situation.

Having lost her job, she lost her source of income, and the debt she owed became even harder to repay.

David learned about this and also used this opportunity to negotiate with Gloria.

Although Gloria tried her best to persuade him, hoping David could return to his previous life and leave these messes for her to handle.

But David resolutely refused Gloria and dropped out of Arasaka Academy.

As a troublemaker in the school, Arasaka Academy was naturally more than happy for David to drop out.

David completed the withdrawal procedures from Arasaka Academy without any resistance.

Gloria knew that she had lost her job and was in great debt, and was no longer able to stop David.

David successfully escaped from Arasaka Academy, but this became the last straw that broke Gloria's back.

Now, she seemed to have lost her life's goal, with no direction to strive for. All her efforts in the first half of her life seemed to have become meaningless.

"Mom."

Just as Gloria was still lost in thought, David's voice came from behind her.

"Mom! What are you watching, so engrossed?"

Gloria didn't respond for a moment, and David called out again.

It was then that Gloria realized David was calling her.

"Ah? Ah..., David..., I'm watching the news, it's Arasaka's press conference." Gloria's unfocused eyes refocused on the television. She recalled what she had seen before and replied.

"What? Still paying attention to Arasaka? We have nothing to do with Arasaka anymore, Mom."

"You're right..."

Gloria murmured, then prepared to turn off the television.

At this time, the picture on the television was still playing.

"As a technology manufacturing company, we have a mature and excellent R&D team, a professional scientific research laboratory..."

The man in the picture kept describing his company's achievements and prospects.

Just then, David walked up and saw the content on the television.

"Wait! L?"

David exclaimed. The person speaking on the television was the man who had saved him that day.

The same suit, the same voice, David would never mistake him.

"David, you know him?" Gloria saw that David's expression was not right and asked.

If she remembered correctly, she was watching Arasaka's press conference. Even if her mind had wandered in the middle, the person speaking on stage should still be from Arasaka.

Why would David be related to someone from Arasaka?

"He's the one who helped me rescue Mom at the clinic that day."

"David, do you mean the company you're going to work for is Arasaka?"

There was a hint of confusion in Gloria's eyes, but it was clearly much more lively than before.

"I don't know, maybe."

David shook his head, clearly not quite sure either.

"Ascension Technology..."

Gloria and David shifted their attention to the press conference being broadcast on television and quickly found the key information.

Unfortunately, Luoqi was not from Arasaka. What was currently being broadcast was Ascension Technology's product launch event; Arasaka's press conference had already ended.

David began searching for Ascension Technology online.

To David and Gloria's surprise, this Ascension Technology seemed to be gaining a lot of momentum recently.

Reports about it could be found on various websites.

Soon, the two of them had an understanding of the so-called Ascension Technology.

"Arasaka's partner company, the founder and chairman of Ascension Technology? I didn't expect him to have this kind of identity."

David sighed. This was the first time he had learned about Luoqi's identity.

Meanwhile, Gloria on the side was silent.

Although Ascension Technology was not Arasaka, it was at least an Arasaka partner company. From the various information she had gathered, this company seemed to have good potential.

If David could join this company and rise to a high position, perhaps it would be a good option?

Gloria thought about it, then swept away the previous gloom. Since there was no longer a chance to climb to the top of Arasaka.

Then, being able to climb to a high position in Ascension Technology didn't seem unacceptable either.

"David, have you contacted him?"

"No, I was planning to contact him today, but he seems to be busy right now."

"David, listen, no matter what, I hope you can make something of yourself. Since you don't like my way, then go pursue what you want."

At this moment, Gloria truly accepted David's decision, because she now had renewed hope for David's future.

"Okay, I'll work hard, Mom."

David nodded solemnly.

...

The press conference ended quickly.

David tidied himself up, said goodbye to Gloria, and while sending an email to Luoqi, prepared to go to Ascension Technology company.

At the station, David arrived at the waiting platform.

The shuttle bus had not yet arrived. David waited for the bus while thinking about what he should say when he met Luoqi later.

Just then, the lights on the advertising board next to him changed, attracting David's attention.

Turning his head, he saw that a new round of advertisements was just starting to play on the advertising board.
