"Alright, alright, I'm not playing anymore, not playing anymore!"
Finally, Berry threw in the towel in a fit of despair, pulling both fists back, crumbling both paper strips together, and tossing them into the trash can.
"Thinking it over carefully, such a matter of life and death cannot be decided so frivolously."
Berry said dejectedly, angrily raking her fingers through her hair, and slumped back onto the sofa.
"Uh..."
After a moment of silence, the agitated Berry sensed the awkward atmosphere, looked up, and met V's resentful eyes.
Those gloomy Blue Eyes clearly conveyed one message to Berry.
Are you messing with me?
"Sorry, Sister V, this thing is really troublesome. I'll tell you once I've decided."
Berry scratched her head, offering a forced explanation.
After speaking, she yanked open a drawer, grabbed a handful of coins from inside, unceremoniously pulled V's hand, and stuffed them into it.
"Go buy me a bottle of real sparkling water. The fate of the world is in your hands, go, Sister V."
Speaking strange words, Berry looked at V with a serious expression.
"Fine, I forgive you."
Looking at Berry's "sincere" face, V finally sighed.
"But, real sparkling water? Don't you like to drink little coca-cola? Why did you switch to real sparkling water?"
Weighing the coins in her hand, V was about to grab her jacket, and casually asked.
But it would have been better if she hadn't asked; as soon as she did, it was like lighting a powder keg, and Berry immediately started ranting.
"little coca-cola? What dishwater, not even a dog would drink it!"
"For carbonated drinks, I only drink real sparkling water, because it's a conscientious Night City corporation!"
"Biotechnica, All Foods, what a bunch of rubbish!"
Berry was filled with righteous indignation, like a Night City warrior.
Just kidding.
little coca-cola is produced by All Foods, and All Foods is a subsidiary of Biotechnica.
So she had been drinking enemy products all along.
How could Berry tolerate that?
Berry not only turned dark, but she also went full dark god.
From now on, she would be the number one boycotter of little coca-cola.
little coca-cola, not even a dog would drink it.
"Uh, alright then."
V nodded emphatically, deciding to humor Berry.
V left, and Berry let out a deep sigh.
She had finally made up her mind.
So she pulled out her holospects and dialed an unfamiliar number.
Between Militech and Night Corp, she finally made her choice... Although Stott was just a blonde old aunt in Berry's eyes, what she said made some sense.
Only another corporation can deal with a corporation.
Berry had indeed located Biotechnica's secret laboratory.
But with her current manpower, she probably couldn't take down the entire lab.
Even if they barely succeeded, there would likely be heavy casualties.
If everyone went in together, V might be the only one to survive.
But if V went alone, even V might not return.
She had to find an ally to deal with Biotechnica together.
And the only two corporations that extended an olive branch to her were those two.
Militech, and Night Corp.
This put Berry in a dilemma.
Hence the farcical drawing of lots earlier.
But now, Berry had made her decision.
Nicholas II once said that in the last second before the results of a draw are revealed, a choice has already been made in one's heart.
And Berry's choice was... Night Corp.
Militech, although they were also powerful, from Stott's tone, Militech wanted to utilize Biotechnica's experimental results.
Night Corp, though mysterious.
But they claimed they wanted to destroy the biotech.
Of course, Berry didn't really believe what the other party said.
But between two evils, she chose the lesser.
Berry ultimately chose Night Corp, which operated more discreetly and had a more mysterious style in Night City.
After all, they were the company that upheld Night City founder Night's will and established Night City.
Their reputation was also slightly better than Militech's.
So the number Berry dialed was precisely the one left by the mysterious Mr. Blue Eyes.
"Berry, it's a pleasure to receive your call. It seems you've finally chosen to trust us."
The video call interface showed Mr. Blue Eyes, whose striking Blue Eyes were very prominent. He stood with his arms crossed, a smile playing on his lips.
