Chapter 64(1/2)
The reason why they haven't been able to find this person is because of two possibilities. The first is that the person is hiding in some corner, and the second is that the person has concealed his identity from Agent Arasaka.
Hideto Hino believed that both possibilities could be solved by intensifying search and screening efforts. So he was not discouraged and called in more reinforcements.
While the Sachi troops were struggling all night, Goro Takemura and Peacock had returned to their hiding place.
While Hino Hideharu and his men stayed up all night and their eyes were red, these two guys slept peacefully.
Hideto Hino's judgment was correct. No one could escape from the encirclement of Sachi's troops within one minute, and no one could escape being searched again and again in that tiny place.
The reason why he couldn't find Takemura and Peacock was because the two people never went to the izakaya again, so they wouldn't be trapped in the encirclement.
After seeing the data stick brought back by Oda, Hanako Arasaka immediately decided that she wanted to meet Takemura.
Although this was the eldest lady's decision, Xiaoda still did not relax his vigilance.
For each other's safety, he arranged this meeting, but he did not let Hanako and Takemura meet directly.
When Takemura and Peacock arrived at the address given by Oda, they were actually still 10 kilometers away from the izakaya where Miss Hanako was.
Although they are far apart, with the help of three-dimensional projection technology, Hanako Arakan and Takemura are still able to communicate without any obstacles.
It is precisely because of this arrangement that when the people of Xing's army surrounded the izakaya where Hanako was, Oda didn't have to worry about how Takemura and the others would retreat.
As long as the three-dimensional projector is turned off before the members of the Kogi Force break in, Hino Hideto will be able to achieve nothing.
When Hanako Arasaka left the izakaya angrily, Oda followed immediately, and the projector he used before was in his pocket.
When someone caused a panic somewhere in the city center, Zhucun and Peacock returned home in a happy mood.
Because he finally met the eldest lady, Zhucun was very excited all the way.
Although they only talked for about 20 minutes, Takemura believed that this was enough.
Regarding this point, Peacock, as a bystander, also had the same view.
Peacock had been observing Hanako Arasaka carefully just now. Takemura was right, the eldest lady of the Arasaka family was indeed a person.
Although Hanako Arasaka looks aloof, this woman has quick thinking and strong judgment.
She asked Takemura and Peacock a total of 9 questions, and each question hit the mark.
Just by listening to the questions she asked, Peacock could tell that not only had the woman watched the video carefully, but she must have watched it many times.
"Mr. Peacock, you are fine now, everything depends on the eldest lady.
She will not disappoint us, and she will not disappoint Mr. Saburo Arasaka."
When Takemura nagged Peacock for the third time, Peacock knew that this loyal servant of the Arasaka family actually had no confidence in his heart.
After meeting the eldest lady again, Lai Xuan's crime of patricide was already unquestionable, so there was no reason for Miss Hanako to ignore this matter.
Even if the crime of parricide itself is not taken into account, this time Yori Xuan has seriously violated the interests of Huangban Huazi, which is absolutely intolerable.
However, how can people and things in a wealthy family be easily understood by outsiders? Takemura was worried that there would be an accident in this matter, so he was worried.
Peacock can understand Takemura's concerns.
The so-called rich are those people with extremely low moral bottom line and extremely rich families.
For various reasons, these people have completely different views on life than normal people.
If everyone thinks it is right, they may think it is wrong. If everyone thinks it is wrong, they may think it is acceptable.
It is precisely because of thinking of this that Takemura needs to use constant repetition to consolidate his confidence.
In this repeated worry about gains and losses, time finally arrived on the second day.
In the afternoon of that day, Goro Takemura received a call from Oda again. It was this call that finally made the bodyguard of the former president no longer anxious.
"Takemura, the eldest lady asked me to tell you that she needs to borrow the power of you and Peacock tomorrow."
"No problem, Peacock and I are ready and willing to die for the Arasaka family at any time!"
Oda's words instantly ignited all of Takemura's passion. At this moment, this Arasaka elite was extremely excited.
Tomorrow is the day when the Arasaka International interim board of directors meeting will be held. At this meeting, the directors will elect the next president.
If no one stops him, Arasaka Yorinobu will be crowned tomorrow.
This was something that no one could change, but now the situation is different.
Yori Nobu's sister decided to attack at tomorrow's meeting, and her weapons were Takemura and Peacock.
"Very good, now I want to meet with you. I have some things to hand over to you, and we also need to finalize some details."
After conveying Hanako Arasaka's order, Oda requested a meeting.
"Okay, no problem!"
After getting the address given by Takemura, Arasaka Hanako's personal bodyguard arrived an hour later.
As soon as he entered the door, he took out something that looked like an infrared thermometer.
Goro Takemura obviously knew about this stuff, so he didn't say anything and immediately rolled up his sleeves.
After pressing the thing onto Takemura's arm, Oda pulled the trigger.
"puff!"
After making a soft sound, Oda signaled to Takemura that he was done. So Takemura waved his arms and greeted the peacock.
"Mr. Peacock, it's your turn."
"What's this?"
Looking at the thing in Xiaotian's hand, Peacock couldn't help but frowned.
"Mr. Peacock, this is a chip injection gun. It will inject important chips into your body. You don't have to be nervous. It's safe and there won't be any risks."
Although Takemura said this, Peacock did not step forward.
Peacock has always held a clear-cut opposition to body modification technology.
On the one hand, this is because of his special experience, and on the other hand, it is the influence of those members of the brotherhood generation.
The motorcycle fraternity has many veterans of nuclear wars and corporate wars. Everyone has cyber plug-ins, but they never think that these gadgets are very good.
"In a sense, these things are a whole new form of shackles.
Because these shackles are so beautifully made, many people will happily wear them, regardless of what they will lose!"
This is what Dad Dick said about cyber plug-ins. With such a teacher who teaches by words and deeds, Peacock will naturally stay away from body modification.
"Mr. Peacock, you don't need to be so scared, this is just an ordinary identification chip.
Only by injecting this, the Arasaka Tower security system will recognize you as a member of the Lady Guard, and then you can enter Arasaka Tower.
Apart from this method, there is no other way for you to sneak into Arasaka Tower."
"Mr. Peacock, please! Please be patient and help us!"
This is just an ID chip, I can guarantee that it has no other purpose.
When the testimony ends tomorrow, I will help you remove the chip as soon as possible."
On the one hand, Oda looked at him as a coward, and on the other hand, Takemura Goro was begging in a low voice. Peacock finally gave in under the attack from these two sides.
After another soft sound, a small chip appeared in the peacock's body.
Looking at the almost traceless forearm, Peacock felt unspeakable discomfort in his heart, but in the end he gritted his teeth and endured it.
After completing the preparations, Oda said goodbye.
According to the plan, Takemura and Peacock will join Arasaka Hanako's guard midway early tomorrow morning, and then they can enter Arasaka Tower in a grand manner.
When the board of directors is convened, Peacock and Zhuchun as personal guards will be on standby nearby.
Once Hanako Arasaka raises an issue at the meeting, they will immediately appear as witnesses.
This is a plan that sounds perfect. Zhucun is full of confidence, and Peacock doesn’t feel there are any omissions.
In 12 hours, under the leadership of Hanako Arasaka, they will launch a fatal blow against Yorinobu. In this battle, the role of the peacock is extraordinary.
So Takemura is now a Peacock bodyguard and guard. He must keep an eye on Peacock to avoid making mistakes during the final standby time.
It was also because of this that when Peacock asked him to go out, Zhucun wanted to stop him.
"Takemura, I have a girlfriend. We are going to do things tomorrow, so I have to visit her today."
"Okay, I'll go with you.
Don’t worry, I will stay outside and wait and won’t cause you any trouble.”
Regarding Peacock's reason for wanting to go out, Zhucun couldn't refuse after thinking for a long time. And Peacock couldn't refuse Zhucun's kindness, so the two went out together.
Two hours later, Zhucun and Peacock returned to their hiding place safely. At this time, everything was ready, just waiting for tomorrow.
May 28, 2077 8:00 am
As the headquarters of Araban International in Mizhou Continent, the atmosphere at Arasaka Tower today is as heavy as solid.
Since the unfortunate death of the former president, the prince of Arasaka International moved from Kanbi Building to Arasaka Tower. Then he naturally took over the power here.
After Yorinobu settled in Arasaka Tower, the atmosphere in Night City became more and more tense day by day. In the past few days, the level of tension has reached the extreme.
To be continued...
