The elevator doors slowly opened, and Luoqi and Arasaka Yorinobu stepped out, arriving at the jungle.
As soon as they exited the elevator, Rebecca's petite figure came into view, and beside her were several top-tier combat robots from Ascension Technology.
Rebecca had been waiting here for a while and had arranged for a large number of Ascension Technology armed robots to be integrated into Arasaka Yorinobu's armed forces.
Within the entire Arasaka Tower's armed forces, Ascension Technology had arranged numerous combat teams to help Arasaka Yorinobu complete his plan.
When the war breaks out, other factions are bound to send a large number of soldiers to counterattack. At the same time, they also need to guard against the contingencies left by Arasaka Saburo.
Relying solely on the soldiers under Arasaka Yorinobu might allow them to control the situation briefly, but facing continuous reinforcements later on, it would be difficult to guarantee success.
With the support of Ascension Technology, the plan could truly be foolproof.
"L, let's go, those guys have already started chattering nonstop." Rebecca followed beside Luoqi, heading towards the central meeting room with the others.
Yorinobu and his group arrived at the meeting room, and the board members who were still discussing immediately noticed them and quieted down.
"Arasaka Yorinobu, you're finally here.
Also, who is this guy next to you?" A board member questioned.
Luoqi and Yorinobu simply walked past a few people and went to the main seats.
"What, are important people forgetful? You don't recognize me so quickly?" Luoqi smiled slightly.
"You are... that guy from Ascension Technology." The board member reacted for a moment before remembering.
This guy in front of him was the chairman of Ascension Technology; it was he who finalized the cooperation plan with Ascension Technology back then.
This board member hadn't interacted much with Luoqi and had never paid attention to him, so he didn't react immediately.
Furthermore, he never expected Luoqi, being from Ascension Technology, to appear at an Arasaka board meeting.
"Why are you here, Arasaka Yorinobu? This is an Arasaka board meeting, why did you bring an outsider like this?"
"Outsider? I don't think so." Facing the board member's questioning, Arasaka Yorinobu shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything special. Ascension Technology is Arasaka Group's most important partner, both now and in the future," Arasaka Yorinobu said calmly.
"Ascension Technology? They just provided Arasaka with some serum and medicine, what use are they? Plus, recently Ascension Technology is clearly trying to enter the armed security industry. How dare you bring such an ungrateful wolf and ambitious person to the board meeting?
What exactly do you want to do? Arasaka Yorinobu! Are you trying to overthrow the entire Arasaka Group?!"
The board member slammed his hands on the conference table, stood up somewhat agitatedly, and angrily rebuked Arasaka Yorinobu.
Ascension Technology's recent actions were undeniably significant, although not comparable to the drastic changes within Arasaka.
But the commotion caused by Ascension Technology's armed robots was naturally clear to these Arasaka executives.
Ever since Ascension Technology wiped out the Whirlwind Gang, the major corporations in Night City had already seen that Ascension Technology had been hiding things and had considerable ambition.
And the Arasaka executives were also well aware of this.
Many Arasaka executives were even considering starting to sanction Ascension Technology to prevent it from threatening Arasaka, and incidentally force it to hand over its formulas.
In such a situation, Arasaka Yorinobu brought the chairman of Ascension Technology to attend their board meeting. It was hard not to suspect what Arasaka Yorinobu was really trying to do.
"Hahaha, well said. What I want to say is, you are absolutely right. I am indeed going to overthrow the entire Arasaka Group."
"Arasaka Yorinobu, you... audacious! And you, Ascension Technology..." The board member pointed at Arasaka Yorinobu, managed to blurt out this sentence, and then pointed at Luoqi.
However, before the board member could finish speaking, a bullet instantly pierced his head.
A gunshot rang out, and the remaining board members were thoroughly startled.
And the source of the gunshot was Rebecca, who was standing nearby.
"How rude. I'll send you down so you can reflect properly."
A crazy smile appeared at the corner of Rebecca's mouth.
This person wanted to curse at Luoqi; of course, she was the first to disagree.
Anyway, these guys were all going to die, so Rebecca took the opportunity to finish him off with a shot.
"Ah!!!"
"You're crazy, Arasaka Yorinobu, what are you doing! Security, quickly apprehend this madwoman from Ascension Technology!"
Some board members shrieked, while others angrily rebuked Arasaka Yorinobu and called for Arasaka Security, attempting to take down Rebecca, that crazy woman.
But the security personnel next to the board meeting remained indifferent as they watched the scene unfolding before them.
What was even more despairing at this moment was that the Arasaka Tower's AI issued an alert.
"'Falcon' protocol initiated... Relevant security personnel, please report to the designated location immediately."
Arasaka Yorinobu had locked down the entire Arasaka Tower.
Only now did these board members realize that they had become Arasaka Yorinobu's trapped prey.
And Arasaka Yorinobu actually dared to make a move against them, having allied with Ascension Technology, intending to overthrow the entire Arasaka.
"Michiko, stand behind me."
Arasaka Yorinobu quietly watched as the board members descended into chaos, and said to Arasaka Michiko, who was in the main seat.
Arasaka Michiko, being the daughter of Arasaka Saburo's eldest son, Arasaka Kei, although Arasaka Yorinobu and Arasaka Kei didn't get along, and Arasaka Kei was a loyal follower of Saburo, having once sworn to kill Yorinobu.
But Michiko was his relative after all. As a puppet successor pushed by the Pigeon faction, Michiko herself had no ambition.
Arasaka Yorinobu also didn't intend to kill her as well.
Hearing Yorinobu's words, Arasaka Michiko was still immersed in fear, but she didn't dare to defy him and obediently stood behind Yorinobu.
"Arasaka Yorinobu, how dare you..."
A board member cursed angrily, but was immediately shot in the head by Rebecca.
Then Rebecca didn't waste any more words, pulled out a heavy machine gun, and began spraying the group of board members.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the jungle, and the lives of these board members were instantly reaped.
The meeting room in the jungle was instantly drenched in blood. In less than a second, some of the world's most powerful people met their demise here.
Ignoring the bodies on the ground, after dealing with them, Luoqi and his group had a more crucial plan to execute.
"I'll go back and command the armed operation. As for Mikoshi, I'll leave it to you," Arasaka Yorinobu said to Luoqi.
"Aren't you going to see Saburo one last time?"
"No need. I don't want to see him again, nor do I want to hear his voice, not even for a second.
Once you connect to Mikoshi, remember to completely crush his consciousness for me, or torture him, either way is fine. In short, it's all up to you, just don't let him live."
