After Ralph Dorsett announced that he would be the new chairman of the Dorsett Group, Sandra received a phone call.
After a few simple exchanges, the call ended, and then Peacock saw a smile on Sandra's face.
"Peacock, Pedes, Military Technology has responded to me.
They said that Military Technology would keep its promise and support me, the orthodox heir.
As for the traitor, he will meet the wrath of military technology."
"Great! Miss Dorset!"
After hearing such good news, Pedes immediately laughed heartily. The peacock could tell that this big man was really happy for Sandra.
As a person who has been in the business world for many years, Bertelsmann Dorsett has a pair of fairly discerning eyes.
He did not see clearly the true face of his nephew, but he was very accurate when choosing bodyguards for his daughter.
It is also because of this that both Helena in the past and Peddes now are extremely loyal.
"Now they have asked me to meet because there are some things they need to confirm with me in person.
They have promised to provide me with protection, so things will be over soon."
"When and where did they ask you to meet?"
Hearing Peacock ask this, Sandra held back her excitement and gave an address.
Even just now, this chick was not dazzled by the good news. So when the other party asked to meet, Sandra chose a place very close to here.
"Miss Dorset, you are right. For a meeting like this, it would be better for us to choose the place.
I know that place, it’s not far from here, when do you think we’ll set off?”
The big man was also very pleased with Sandra's caution. He asked Sandra for instructions when she wanted to leave.
"That gentleman will arrive soon, so we leave now and can't keep them waiting."
"Sandra, do you want me to go with you?"
Just when Sandra was giving Pedes instructions, Peacock couldn't help but ask.
It's definitely good news that Sandra has connected with the top brass of Military Technology so quickly.
However, Peacock is still a little worried, because there is only Pedes beside Sandra now, and her head is the most valuable among the three people here.
"Miss Dorset, it is enough for me to accompany you. It is not suitable for your two friends to show up. I suggest that it is better for them to stay here."
Without waiting for Sandra to reply to Peacock, Pedes was the first to express his opinion.
Hearing what he said, Sandra hesitated for a moment, then showed an apologetic smile to Peacock.
"Peacock, we are going to meet our own people, not to fight, so Pedes and I can do it alone.
Just stay here with your friends and wait patiently for my good news.
I believe that I will be able to negotiate everything with Military Technology soon, so I will get the Dorset Group back soon.
Peacock, don't worry. As soon as I get Dorset back, I will fulfill my promise immediately.
I will use the safest method to send you out of the city. You don't have to worry about Arasaka.
I have wronged you before this, and we will keep in touch at any time."
"In that case, fine. Sandra, be careful."
Peacock also knew that he was really not suitable to go out and join in the fun now. He couldn't add variables to Sandra's affairs, so he didn't persist.
Sandra and Pedes hurriedly left the safe house, leaving Peacock and Takemura staring at each other.
"Takemura, based on your experience, do you think this matter will go smoothly?"
Seeing Sandra leave with confidence, Peacock felt uneasy, so he asked Agent Arasaka, who had never spoken to him.
"Hard to say.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for Military Technology to choose Ralph over Sandra.
But what if military technology is stupid? They often do mindless things."
Although he is already a wanted criminal in Arasaka, Takemura still despises military technology and everything related to military technology.
It is also for this reason that this footbath man is completely unwilling to talk to Sandra and Pedes.
"Why do you think that?"
"This matter is actually very simple. Who the military technology will choose depends on who provoked the civil strife tonight.
If there is someone directing behind that Ralph, then Sandra has a great chance of winning, because military technology will not allow Dorset to fall into the control of others.
However, if tonight's attack is just a pure internal conflict within the Dorset family, things will become more complicated.
Military technology is not a righteous friend. They will choose whoever can promise them more benefits.
At this time, it’s not about who has a higher succession, but whether the little girl or her cousin is more adaptable."
Peacock chatted with Takemura just to distract himself from thinking about Sandra all the time.
Takemura is a very powerful bodyguard, but he is really not good at comforting others.
After listening to his analysis, Peacock found that not only was his mood not relieved, but now he was even more upset.
Just when he was so anxious that he was running around the room, he and Takemura heard a vague gunshot at the same time.
"Is this? Gunshots!"
It must be because of the distance, so Peacock heard it more vaguely, but he was still sure that it was gunfire and not other sounds.
"This is a night-time rapid-fire pistol produced by Military Technology. The target is about 500 meters away from us, towards the southeast corner.
Also, that girl’s bodyguard’s gun is this model.”
Different from the judgment that Peacock just blurted out, Takemura was not only sure that it was indeed a gunshot, but his tactical analysis chip could also provide more detailed data.
"Oops! That's where Sandra and the others are going!"
As soon as Takemura reported the data, Peacock's face fell.
After receiving the call from Military Technology, Sandra went to the appointment with her big bodyguard.
Sandra's trust in Peacock could be said to be unreserved, so she told Peacock the address where she would meet with the military technology representative.
The mere thought that Sandra might be in danger made Peacock unable to stay in the room any longer. So he threw himself at the table and began stuffing magazines into his pockets.
"Peacock! Are you crazy? What do you want to do? You can't go!"
After grabbing five or six magazines, the peacock rushed towards the door.
Before his hand touched the door handle, Takemura grabbed his arm.
"Takemura, what are you doing? We have to save that girl, we can't just ignore her.
You yourself said that she is our only hope to escape this city alive."
"Mr. Peacock, please be sensible. She was before, but not now. Unless she can survive tonight and retake Dorset, but this is impossible.
Mr. Peacock, that girl was called away by someone from Military Technology, but now she is very likely to be attacked. Do you know what this means?
This means that there is a high probability that she will be abandoned by Military Technology, which did not choose her, but her cousin."
"If this is really the case, then we should help her even more.
Takemura, she only has one bodyguard by her side. If this meeting is a trap, she will die."
"Mr. Peacock, you can't save her. Even if you add me, it will be the same.
After losing the favor of military technology, that girl was in the same situation as us.
If there is a difference, it's just that Arasaka is the one who wants to kill us, and military technology is the one who wants to kill her."
"Zhucun, are you really not going?"
"I won't go. I hate everyone and everything related to military technology, and I advise you not to die.
Since military technology wants to take action on that girl, it must have careful arrangements. You alone can't solve any problems at all.
Mr. Peacock, let’s leave quickly before anyone checks this place.”
Looking at the expression on Zhucun's face, Peacock knew that this was what the foot basin man meant.
Reason told Peacock that Takemura was right.
He, Peacock, is now a bereaved dog who has no time to take care of himself. How can he mind other people's business? Moreover, he is still a behemoth on the same level as Arasaka.
"Maybe, I should listen to Takemura?"
As soon as such an idea appeared in Peacock's mind, he reached out and slapped himself.
"Peacock, you have to remember that men shouldn't be content.
As long as you do it once, you will become a habit. If you encounter something in the future, you will only think about avoiding it and will no longer have the courage to face the enemy head-on.
We are living in the worst end of the world, so when we have to make a choice, you have to remember, never choose the easy one.
Because if that happens, you will soon be assimilated into this damn world."
At this moment, Peacock remembered the teacher's earnest teachings to him.
That time Peacock asked Dad Dick why he was able to rescue himself, who was only a teenager at the time, from the soup pot of the cannibal tribe with one against thirty.
Father Dick did not use any grand words to explain his thoughts. He just used a very plain tone to let Peacock remember his life insights.
Thinking of his father at that time, Peacock felt very ashamed because he almost humiliated Father Dick.
"Zhucun, what you said makes sense, but I have a reason why I have to go.
I heard the gunshot, so I couldn't pretend I didn't hear it.
So be it, I'll go alone. As for you, you can do whatever you want."
Such an answer made a look of astonishment appear on Takemura's face. When the peacock moved forward again, the elite of the wild version had to take a step back and give way to the way.
"Mr. Peacock! Why are you so stubborn?
Don’t you understand that we all have to stay useful and do more important things?”
Seeing the peacock reaching out to open the door, Zhucun's face couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
"Takemura, believe me. Nothing in this world is more important than saving a life, and this man also saved us.
So, good luck to you, and good luck to myself."
After saying these parting words, the peacock floated away, while Takemura punched hard and smashed the small table next to the door.
"Johnny Silverhand, are you there? I need your help."
As soon as they reached the street outside, the peacock immediately summoned his last companion.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was a burst of noise in Peacock's earphones, and then Johnny Silverhand's impatient voice sounded.
"Peacock! It's so late, what else can happen to you? Don't tell me that you've caused trouble again."
"Johnny Silverhand, I'm sorry that this is what it is, can you help me?"
After introducing the current situation in the shortest possible words, Peacock waited expectantly for Johnny Silverhand's reply.
"Okay, of course, what's wrong with that?"
Excuse me, what kind of car do you want to book? Is the three-door model okay? Is the extra-long luxury version okay? How about I call a hearse directly for you? "
Listening to Johnny Silverhand's taunts, Peacock also found it very boring.
Today, Johnny Silverhand is showing off his power in Arasaka Tower, but this does not mean that this terrorist can still be as fierce now.
The reason Johnny Silverhand was able to beat up Arasaka Dog was because he grabbed a drone armor that could be used as his body.
What role Johnny Silverhand can play now depends entirely on what kind of body he can control.
If he can grab the mecha, he can transform into it. But the only thing he can occupy now is the taxi with the Delamain brand.
Under such circumstances, Peacock still has expectations for him, which is really difficult.
Just when the atmosphere became quite awkward, Johnny Silverhand took the initiative to speak after sighing.
"Peacock, you are an adult, so you know what you are doing, and I don't want to persuade you anymore.
In 5 minutes, there will be a car waiting nearby. As long as you and that chick can get in, I will try to help you rush out.
Peacock, I'm sorry, this is my upper limit now."
"I understand, this is already a big help. Johnny Silverhand, thank you very much, I will put your help to good use."
After negotiating with Johnny Silverhand, Peacock started running wildly on the road.
It was only ten o'clock at this time, and the street was still very lively. He was running like this, which attracted quite a lot of attention, but the peacock couldn't care less.
Just as the peacock rushed towards the place where the gunshot had been fired, Sandra and Pedes had already been driven into an alley.
"There's no way! Pedes, there's no way back!"
As soon as she ran into this alley, Sandra shouted in despair.
The person in front of her at this moment was a four-story building. It blocked Sandra and the others' path, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
Listening to Sandra's crying cry, Pedes, who was stuck at the entrance of the alley, couldn't help but trembled. He just wanted Sandra to withdraw, but at this time the enemy appeared again.
At least six enemies had firmly blocked the road they came from just now, and it was impossible for Pedes and Sandra to return the same way.
After shaking his hand and firing two shots, Pedes forced back the traitor who was about to charge forward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when those guys were suppressed, he quickly turned back to watch.
The big man soon discovered that this was really a dead end. At this time, no matter how stoic he was, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
About 5 minutes ago, Peddes accompanied Sandra to the outdoor cafe on this street.
As soon as they sat down, the representative of military technology rushed over.
He was a very high-level military technology executive, and Bertelsmann had a very close personal relationship with him, so Sandra always called him uncle.
"Uncle! You are here!"
Because the two parties were quite familiar with each other, Sandra was very excited, and the senior military science and technology officer known as uncle also showed a look of surprise and joy.
After sitting down and talking for a few words, Pedes and Sandra felt something was wrong.
The uncle didn't seem to care about how Sandra escaped, nor did he directly answer Military Technology's attitude towards Sandra.
He just insisted on persuading Sandra to go with him now, and he didn't let Pedes follow.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a dozen uninvited guests appeared at both ends of the street.
"She's here! I got her!"
As soon as he saw those people, the guy whom Sandra called uncle shouted loudly and reached out to grab Sandra.
At the same time, the two attendants who followed him also revealed their true colors. One on the left and one on the right, they pounced on Pedes.
Although they attacked suddenly, Sandra and Pedes had already been alert.
When Sandra beat the old man to a bloody head with a vase on the table, Pedes whipped out his gun and killed one of the two with one shot.
This was the source of the gunshots that Peacock and Takemura heard before. After that, Pedes protected Sandara while retreating while fighting, and then they unfortunately strayed into this dead end alley.
Seeing another wave of enemies arriving ahead, Pedes knew that he and Sandra might not be able to leave.
In the battle just now, Pedes discovered that there were many familiar people on the opposite side.
These people are not special staff of military technology, but private soldiers belonging to the Dorset family.
Judging from the attack methods of these guys, these traitors do not want to stay alive. The reason why Sandra has not been injured until now is because of Pedes.
"Miss……"
Just when Pedes was cruel and wanted to make Sandra prepare for the worst, a dull gunshot was heard not far away, and then one of the enemies on the opposite side fell.
While signaling Sandra to quickly stick to the wall, Pedes looked back.
Judging from the gunfire just now, the gunman should be at a high place nearby.
He attacked the traitors, so he should be on his side, but Pedes couldn't figure out who it could be.
After firing the first bullet, the gunman kept pulling the trigger one after another.
As long as the gunfire rings out, one of the Dorset private soldiers surrounding the alley will surely fall.
After seven people fell in a row, the morale of these traitors had dropped to freezing point.
They did not dare to shout and rush forward, but looked for cover on the spot, which finally gave Pedes a chance to breathe.
"Where did the reinforcements come from? Can we still be saved?"
Quickly reloading the empty magazine, a fire of hope ignited in Pedes' heart.
Although Sandra was tightly covered by him, she tried to look in that direction to see who was helping them.
From their current angle, of course they couldn't see anything. At this time, the peacock carrying a long-barreled rifle had already left its previous position.
After taking a few steps back, the peacock began to sprint faster.
