Adam Smasher was slightly surprised to see Luoqi.
He hadn't expected that the kid who founded Ascension Technology back then would be so highly valued by Arasaka Yorinobu.
One should know that even though Ascension Technology is now a famous corporation in Night City,
Compared to Arasaka, there is still a huge gap. At least in the eyes of most people, including him, that's how they see it.
After all, Arasaka's influence is worldwide.
Night City is just a city.
Seeing Arasaka Yorinobu telling him to leave first, Adam Smasher didn't dare to disobey.
But Luoqi stopped him.
"Is there something you need to say? Say it out loud."
Luoqi gestured for Adam Smasher to state whatever he needed to report on the spot.
Now, Adam Smasher, after the death of Arasaka Saburo, had pledged allegiance to Arasaka Yorinobu, becoming part of his power.
For this, Arasaka Yorinobu also promoted him to Arasaka's Head of Security.
Luoqi was also somewhat curious about the reason Adam Smasher came to see Arasaka Yorinobu.
Smasher saw Luoqi speak but didn't respond directly, instead turning to look at Arasaka Yorinobu.
Seeing Arasaka Yorinobu nod, indicating there was no problem, he slowly began to speak.
"The security for the memorial parade is ready, everything is proceeding as planned.
Also, the assassins sent to kill Takemura Goro failed, and he escaped." Adam Smasher's voice was grating.
Yorinobu had initially nodded when he heard about the security preparations, but the subsequent news made him furious.
Takemura Goro was Arasaka Saburo's loyal dog and also his scapegoat.
As long as Takemura was alive, Arasaka Yorinobu could not feel at ease.
"Failed? What a bunch of useless idiots."
Yorinobu cursed, originally thinking these assassins would be enough to deal with Takemura Goro.
But he hadn't expected Takemura to be so troublesome.
"Other forces helped him escape, most likely related to guys from other factions, and he himself is not easy to deal with," Adam Smasher explained, facing Yorinobu's anger.
Clearly, there were hidden forces who didn't want Takemura Goro to die so quickly.
Just as Arasaka Yorinobu had recruited Adam Smasher, other factions also seemed to hope to gain a powerful helper, even if this person was a publicly wanted criminal.
"Those Green Pheasant guys..." Yorinobu gritted his teeth.
Those capable of helping Goro escape and having sufficient motive were clearly the Green Pheasant Faction, who were also Arasaka Yorinobu's primary opponents.
Currently, throughout the board of directors, although no one had stepped forward, everyone knew full well who had killed Arasaka Saburo.
And if the Green Pheasant Faction wanted to bring this matter into the open, they would undoubtedly need to first protect Takemura, the witness.
"Forget it, hold the float parade as soon as possible. As for Takemura Goro, send the most elite troops to deal with him.
Don't disappoint me again, Adam Smasher."
"Understood."
Receiving Arasaka Yorinobu's instructions, Adam Smasher nodded and turned to leave.
Before he left, he gave Luoqi a deep look.
...
"Adam Smasher, he must die."
After Adam Smasher left, Luoqi said indifferently.
"Why?"
"No why, I will personally end his life when the time comes." Luoqi calmly pronounced Adam Smasher's death sentence.
Although Adam Smasher had not affected Luoqi since his transmigration, and they were currently on the same side,
That didn't mean Luoqi would let him go. If he should be killed, he should be killed.
Revenge for past lives in this life, Luoqi didn't think there was a problem, and what Adam Smasher had done serving Arasaka these years was enough to send him to hell.
Facing Luoqi's straightforward declaration of wanting to kill his top subordinate, Arasaka Yorinobu showed no anger.
Although Luoqi didn't tell him the reason, it wasn't important.
Because Arasaka Yorinobu also didn't like Adam Smasher. Smasher, as Arasaka's executioner, had helped Arasaka complete countless evil schemes.
Yorinobu naturally wouldn't like him, let alone the fact that Adam Smasher was the one who personally ended his idol Johnny Silverhand's life years ago.
Currently, Yorinobu was only forced to promote Smasher to win him over because he had just taken power and his own strength was insufficient to control the entire Arasaka.
If Luoqi intended to take Adam Smasher's life, Yorinobu would not object.
At the same time, he also believed that Luoqi would not affect the overall situation because of this.
"You handle this matter yourself, I trust you.
But now the most important thing is to prepare for the festival, stabilize these board members, gather them together, and catch them all in one go," Arasaka Yorinobu replied.
The float parade ceremony mourning Arasaka Saburo was planned by Yorinobu himself.
Of course, he didn't genuinely wish to mourn his father, whom he hated to the bone. If he had the chance, he would personally throw the old man's corpse into a stinking ditch and let it rot.
Yorinobu's purpose in doing this was naturally to use it as an excuse to gather the key Arasaka board members in Night City.
"I understand that, don't worry, with Ascension Technology, there won't be any problems.
Just proceed with your own plan, I will take action at the crucial moment," Luoqi said.
Currently, Arasaka was in chaos, and Arasaka Yorinobu was desperately trying to gain control of the entire company.
Luoqi had no interest in getting involved in Arasaka's internal troubles. He only needed to help Arasaka Yorinobu complete the armed takeover at the most critical moment, and the rest would be his headache.
Yorinobu's plans were no different from what he had done in the game before, and Luoqi was too lazy to make any changes.
Facts proved that Arasaka Yorinobu's plans and arrangements were indeed not bad. If V, the living Yama, hadn't appeared halfway through, Yorinobu would likely have been able to change the entire Arasaka.
Without V's help, Takemura couldn't cause trouble during the float parade ceremony, and everything developed according to Yorinobu's expectations.
The memorial ceremony went smoothly. Not long after, Yorinobu placed Arasaka Hanako under house arrest in a luxurious villa in North Oak.
He then began his armed takeover plan.
.....
North Oak.
Arasaka's luxurious villa.
At this time, Arasaka Hanako was under house arrest here by Yorinobu. The entire villa was heavily guarded, filled with security arranged by Arasaka Yorinobu.
In the master bedroom, Arasaka Hanako was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, making a phone call to someone.
"I need you to rescue me, take me to Arasaka Tower, and stop my brother."
Today was the day Arasaka Yorinobu convened a meeting of the board members. Although on the surface, Arasaka Yorinobu said the meeting was to decide the future development of the company,
But based on her understanding of her brother, she knew the entire meeting was filled with the scent of conspiracy.
Arasaka Yorinobu would definitely take action at this meeting. To prevent Arasaka Yorinobu from making a big mistake again, Arasaka Hanako did not want to sit and wait for death.
