"What if I refuse?"
Lucius's words were clearly not enough to persuade Jefferson.
No matter if his thoughts were from his heart or instilled by someone else, Jefferson couldn't bear to watch all this happen.
"Night City was established almost ninety years ago, Jefferson, and we've faced worse situations than this."
Lucius really thought highly of Jefferson, this young senator with drive, reason, and not lacking in ability. The Horizon Corporation he connected with had surged forward in the first half of the year, providing thousands of jobs for Night City and was still growing rapidly. It also recently resolved the Netherworld Dog problem in Dog Town.
Though some discordant incidents occurred during the process, making Lucius break into a sweat several times, being able to excise those tumors was a good thing for both Night City and its citizens.
It's truly a pity if someone like him were to die.
