The clinking of glasses also announced Arasaka Yorinobu's complete commitment to Ascension Technology.
Luoqi stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and then spoke again.
"Ascension Technology has officially revealed its fangs. I believe many people will soon be unable to sit still, and Arasaka Saburo should be no exception.
I need you to deal with him as soon as possible and inherit the Arasaka Group. I will help you clear out the dissenting voices in the Arasaka board."
Facing Luoqi's blatant declaration in front of him to eliminate his father, Arasaka Saburo, Arasaka Yorinobu was not angry, but rather a little expectant.
But he knew that Arasaka Saburo was not that easy to kill.
"Arasaka Saburo is still in Tokyo right now. How can I kill him?"
"You came to Night City. I believe it won't be long before that old immortal follows. Don't forget you brought something with you."
"Are you talking about the relic chip? I did steal it because it contains Johnny Silverhand's consciousness, but what does that have to do with Arasaka Saburo?"
Arasaka Yorinobu was a bit confused.
"Why do you think you were able to successfully steal the relic chip? Your actions could not have escaped Arasaka Saburo's eyes. It is clear that he tacitly allowed you to steal it.
Because he knows that your mischief will soon end. You are a part of his plan. This chip is an experimental version of relic 2.0, and Arasaka has already developed the official version.
It can allow the personality consciousness within the chip to completely transfer and occupy a new body. You are Arasaka Saburo's next vessel."
"How is that possible... But if it's that cold-blooded old man, he might actually do something like that."
Hearing Luoqi's words, Arasaka Yorinobu was initially incredulous, but quickly turned angry.
His hatred for Arasaka Saburo deepened.
Seeing this scene, Luoqi felt like complaining that Arasaka Yorinobu wasn't much better.
These two are completely a case of a benevolent father and filial son. It's quite difficult for them to get along.
However, for the sake of this ally he had just completely convinced, Luoqi did not comment too much on this matter.
"Arasaka Saburo uploaded his personality consciousness to Mikoshi long ago. He is planning to use you to stir up conflict within the Arasaka Group to eliminate internal parasites, maintain the rule of the Arasaka family, and finally take over your body in one fell swoop to achieve immortality and continue to expand his capital empire.
Arasaka Saburo is very smart and also very insidious. However, this also gives you an opportunity to take over the Arasaka Group. Once you have the legitimate name, I will give you the legitimate power, and a brand new Arasaka will emerge."
"I understand." Arasaka Yorinobu nodded, agreeing with Luoqi's statement.
Since he chose to ally with Luoqi, he could only choose to believe what he said.
"Arasaka Saburo should come to Night City to find you soon. If he doesn't come, you invite him. I think you should know what to do."
After explaining things to Arasaka Yorinobu, the cooperation talks between Luoqi and him were officially concluded.
And Luoqi, it was time to deal with another matter.
The AI organization in Night City, relying on Ye Corporation and the Night City Government, has brought so much trouble to Ascension Technology, and it's time for them to pay the price.
Ye Corporation has been rooted in Night City for many years and has strong capital.
Now that they are being hollowed out by these AIs, Luoqi naturally will not miss this opportunity.
Although he has confirmed cooperation with Arasaka Yorinobu, it will still take some time for him to completely control Arasaka Corporation.
But Ye Corporation is different. As long as this AI organization is dealt with and their achievements are seized, Ye Corporation can immediately become Ascension Technology's own strength. Luoqi will absolutely not miss this.
...
Beyond the Blackwall.
In a network space.
A huge crimson female manifestation was entrenched here.
This was clearly an extremely powerful intelligent AI.
And around her were countless other intelligent AIs. They submitted to the powerful AI before them and called her Lady Lilith.
This was clearly the mastermind behind the AI organization, a powerful AI leading them.
If Johnny Silverhand's consciousness were also here, he would recognize the image of the woman before him.
It was Alt Cunningham, whom he had always longed for.
However, this was no longer the Alt Cunningham he knew.
The former Alt Cunningham was a network genius. She developed a program called Soul Killer that could kill people and upload their personality consciousness into the network space to become network ghosts.
But this technology was exploited by Arasaka. They captured Alt and forced her to hand over the technology.
Finally, Alt had no choice but to use the Soul Killer program to upload herself and escape beyond the Blackwall.
And now, after wandering outside the Blackwall for many years, Alt was no longer the Alt of the past.
She had become a more powerful AI with Alt's memories and appearance. She had lost the part of her personality that was Alt and had become a completely new individual.
But even so, Alt's hatred for Arasaka still deeply influenced this individual.
So she controlled and organized the other AIs behind the Blackwall and created this organization.
Continuously invading Night City and controlling it.
Preparing for the day when she could pose a great threat to Arasaka, break into Mikoshi, destroy Arasaka's data fortress, and strengthen herself with the countless personality consciousnesses within it.
But now, her plan was forced to stop.
And this was all because of a company that had suddenly appeared, Ascension Technology.
To deal with the so-called Ascension Technology, she hired the Whirlwind Gang and a large number of mercenaries to destroy Ascension Technology's facilities and buildings.
And in terms of the network, she naturally would not fall behind, because this was her home ground.
"Connect to the Ascension Network, attempt to invade."
Alt issued instructions to her subordinate AIs, and they did not disobey.
Using the upgrade program provided by Ascension Technology, they successfully connected to the Ascension Network.
The Ascension Network had never prohibited AI connections, it just required registration and management.
And these AIs were clearly not connecting to use the network.
The moment they connected to the Ascension Network, they began attempting to attack it.
In an instant, multiple AIs simultaneously began invading the Ascension Network.
However, what they didn't expect was that before they could make any attacking moves, a powerful data stream crushed all of them.
"Are you just going to send these useless weaklings? Why don't you come and visit the Ascension Network yourself, Alt Cunningham!"
An extremely cold voice echoed in Alt's ears.
