Chapter 73 V! We are almost there!
Faced with Arasaka Yorinobu's cynicism, Leon did not defend Johnny Silverhand. He knew that Johnny was taken away by Arasaka in order to rescue Ultra and cover his teammates.
As for what other people think of Johnny Silverhand, Li Ang can't care about it, and he doesn't bother to care about it.
[Mr. Yori Nobu, I respect your commitment to reforming the company system and seeking a future for the Arasaka Group. If you join the LA Company camp, you will get everything you want. 】
Li Ang's tone and attitude seemed to suggest that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. However, in the face of these tangible benefits, Arasaka Yorinobu was already quite tempted.
After weighing it repeatedly, he finally nodded and agreed to Li Ang's request for cooperation.
The Relic chip can be given to LA Company, but Li Ang also has to provide the Steel Dragon Gang with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and help Arasaka Yorinobu fight for power.
Although the eldest prince of Arasaka, Kei Arasaka, died in Arasaka Tower, the interior of Arasaka Company is not monolithic, but is divided into three different factions.
And each faction has a chance to take control of Arasaka Company!
One is the Pheasant Faction headed by Hanako Arasaka. The people who support Hanako are mainly the senior members of Arasaka and the company's network technology experts.
They follow the ruling line of Saburo Arasaka and are currently the largest internal force in the Arasaka Company.
The second is the hawks represented by Arasaka Yorinobu, who are mainly young elite members. They advocate a path of forging ahead and reforming the company system in a radical way.
The third faction is the Pigeon Faction, headed by Michiko Arasaka, the daughter of Nori Arasaka. This faction is a pro-American force that advocates peaceful development without war, and is backed by military technology.
Now that Arasaka Yorinobu has chosen to form an alliance with LA Company, it means that he will have the support of Li Ang behind him, and the probability of Arasaka's hawks taking over will also be greatly increased!
From then on, Arasaka Yorinobu was no longer a lone wolf fighting alone.
After the two parties determined specific cooperation matters, Li Ang and Arasaka Yorinobu formally reached an alliance.
And Arasaka Yorinobu also made a date with Li Ang. After returning to Night City, he will secretly hand over the Relic chip to the people in LA Company.
After an unknown amount of time, when the groggy Xu Shiming opened his eyes and woke up, he found Arasaka Yorinobu crossing his legs, drinking alone, with a mixed look on his face.
"Mr. Yori Xuan, is the situation okay?"
Xu Shiming looked at Arasaka Yorinobu and asked, "How was your conversation with Mr. Li Ang? It's not easy to deal with someone with a strong personality like him."
Hearing this, Arasaka Yorinobu just smiled and shook his head: "Leon is a terrible person, but he is also a generous person. I can't even refuse his conditions."
"He can present all the stakes for me to choose. Based on this, I know that Li Ang is a trustworthy friend. I believe that LA Company will help me win the position of head of Arasaka!"
After saying that, Arasaka Yorinobu stood up and pushed open the door and window of the izakaya hut. He saw the rising sun rising on the horizon in the distance, shining brightly on the crowded and humid Chiba Castle.
"Mr. Xu, it's time for you to return to Kangtao Company and continue to clean up the warlord forces within China."
"And I should also think carefully about how to change this decadent Arasaka Company!"
…
…
Night City, Little Chinatown, Afterlife Bar.
As the favorite place for relaxation and leisure among Night City mercenaries, the Afterlife Bar can provide more than just drinks. The TV hanging above the bar will also play the morning news of Night City.
#WNS News Agency: Yorinobu, the second son of the Arasaka family, has made a strong return to the company. He is about to take over Arasaka's Night City branch. We look forward to his arrival injecting fresh blood into Arasaka! #
# intubation transformation don’t stop: LA company’s new individual power armor device is suspected to be exposed. Currently LA company is competing with Meta Group for NUSA’s power armor order. It is still unclear who will win! #
#gunpaumaback: Kangtao Company, led by Xu Shiming, is rising strongly in China, and the L-69 smart shotgun went crazy at the International Arms Exhibition! LA Company's status as the king of weapons may not be preserved. #
#……#
V, who was standing at the door of the bar waiting for someone, looked up at the TV idly. He was thinking about whether he should try new equipment after the work was over.
‘This L-69 smart shotgun looks pretty good. I think Jack will like it. His body-stroke shooting skills are just right for a weapon like this that can automatically aim. ’
Just when V was thoughtful, Jack Wells came over after calling his mother, Mrs. Wells.
"Ahem! I don't know why, even though I've been out and about for so many years, I still panic and sweat every time I call my mother."
Jack scratched his head and sighed innocently and said, "My mother is like this. She is afraid that like the other men in the Wells family, I will stink in the trash cans on the street."
"To be honest, I really can't stand this feeling. The more I tell her that nothing happened, the more I feel like I'm lying."
On the surface, Jack Wells looks happy all day long, but there are still many things hidden in his heart, such as the expectations of family and friends, and a strong desire to get ahead.
V patted Jack's shoulder, smiled and said comfortingly: "Isn't it okay that my mother is thinking about her? When we get things settled, we can go back together to see her."
"Hey! That's right."
After hearing V's words, Jack Wells cheered up, "From today on, everything will be different!"
"V, we are about to make it."
After the words fell, the two walked into the Laisheng Bar side by side. They decided to have a drink to relax before the action, so as not to make mistakes when they were nervous.
"See, V, this is the heart of Night City! Susan Forrest, Old Snake, Morgan Blackhand have all sat on these stools and slept on this bar."
"I heard that Johnny Silverhand's last mercenary mission started from here!"
Jack was very excited at the moment. He just got a brand new suit from Deshaun, which looked quite like it.
Just an hour ago, V and Jack had learned the entire action plan from the middleman Deshaun.
Next, they will pretend to be businessmen to sneak into the Blue Green Building, and with the help of the female hacker T-Bug, steal the Relic chip in Arasaka Yoshinobu's room!
Since Arasaka Yoshinori will only stay in the Blue Sky Mansion for one day, this is their best chance to complete the mission. If they miss it, it will be difficult to succeed again.
Therefore, the main members of this chip stealing operation are the two mercenary thugs V and Jack, and T-Bug is the technical staff behind them.
"What would you like to order?"
At this time, Claire, the female bartender from the next life, came over and asked V and Jack.
"Two old-fashioned tequilas, with some beer and chili." Jack Wells, who came prepared, answered.
Claire's eyes lit up. It was rare for a guest to order this drink. She could see that Jack was a discerning drinker, "Okay, two Johnny Silverhands, right here."
