Chapter 274: A concert to announce my return to the world
"I didn't expect that, Roger, you are working for Arasaka now?"

Johnny Silverhand spoke, holding a cigarette in his hand. He was an old smoker, and he just started smoking at this time, mainly because he didn't have any before. It was thoughtful of Ke Ling to prepare a set of clothes for him, so how could he prepare cigarettes for him in advance?
The only way to smoke it now is to ask Jack. Jack is a guy who can really chat with anyone.

"Not really, I just found a backer. People like us are bound to have this happen. We can't really go against the company, right?"

Roger's expression was calm, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

Besides, Michiko Arasaka is not a traditional member of the Arasaka faction. Rather than saying that she is looking for one of the successors of "Arasaka", it would be more accurate to say that she is looking for the boss of "Dangerous Girl". They have always cooperated with each other, but Michiko Arasaka's identity is different now.

If I have to say, she helped Michiko Arasaka a lot before she had a hairline, and the relationship between them was not just that of a backer and a subordinate.

Of course, in the years that Arasaka ruled Night City, she did live a more comfortable life with the protection and care of Arasaka Michiko.

"You have quite a few reasons."

Johnny Silverhand sneered. He obviously didn't have a good impression of Arasaka. After all, in his opinion, the reason why he became what he is now was all because of Arasaka.

This is not wrong. His name has always been tied to Arasaka. When mentioning him, one will definitely talk about "resistance to Arasaka". This has almost become a standard rhetoric.

"What? Do you want us to die there like you? And be turned into what we are now by Arasaka?"

Johnny Silverhand's attitude obviously made Roger a little unhappy. It must be said that even though he has become like this, this man is still so annoying. It turns out that he has preserved his personality very well. This RELIC chip is really something.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Do you really have to talk like this?"

Johnny Silverhand didn't want to argue with Rogue. To be honest, he had no intention of fighting with Arasaka again, especially after being reminded by Ke Ling again and again.

What happened before was all Johnny Silverhand's story. Why should he risk his life for Johnny Silverhand's story? It's not easy to live again, and it's not easy to escape from the sacred carriage.

Of course, although this is what I said and this is the truth, many things are easiest to say.

Even Johnny Silverhand couldn't get rid of this influence just because he wanted to. Even with his selfish, irresponsible and impulsive personality, he couldn't immediately draw a clear line between himself and the "memories of Johnny Silverhand" in the past.

After all, he has not experienced too many stories of his own, and most of his fifty years have been spent in the mikoshi.

"Johnny, you need to adapt to the world as it is now."

Rogue's attitude gradually softened. She didn't want to argue with Johnny Silverhand. She felt that Johnny should re-acquaint himself with the world and Night City and grow up. After more than fifty years, many things had changed.

"No need to adapt, it's still as bad as before, no, it's even worse now."

Johnny Silverhand smoked a cigarette and answered casually. His argumentative words made Roger choke again. Now she was sure that this guy was indeed the real Johnny Silverhand. He couldn't be fake! A fake one would definitely not be so annoying!
"Okay, Roger, I'll leave this guy to you. Take him to get familiar with the current society. You two are old friends, so you will definitely get along well."

Ke Ling smiled and clapped his hands, interrupting the conversation between the two friends and temporarily handing over the management rights of Johnny Silverhand to Rogge.

"That may not be a good match."

Roger complained. They had only been together for a short time, but she had already thought about punching Johnny Silverhand more than once.

"."

Johnny Silverhand didn't say much, because he felt that this might be an opportunity. After all, it was better to be with Roger than with Ke Ling. He didn't want to be controlled like that again. Moreover, if he followed Roger, maybe he could get Roger's help to think of a solution.

Anyway, Rogge seems to be doing well and has survived to this day. He is better than someone who is completely in the dark. Maybe he knows how to solve his problem. At least he can find a prosthetic doctor to check him, right?

"V, Jack, if you have anything to do, you can call this guy along. Don't let him be idle. He needs to walk around more so that he can integrate into today's society."

Ke Ling ignored Luo Ge's complaints. Although this old lady Luo expressed her disgust verbally, no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

He called V and Jack to take Johnny Silverhand out for more walks and sightseeing. Singers need material to write songs, especially rockers. It is not okay to write songs behind closed doors. How can the songs written in that way touch people's hearts? How can they expose the ugliness of those in power?

"I will prepare a digital music studio and a laser mastering garage for you. I guarantee that they are all new equipment that you have never seen before. If you can't do anything else, then reorganize the Samurai Band. Let's put it this way, sometimes work that inspires people and awakens the soul is far more meaningful than blowing up the Arasaka Tower."

Ke Ling told Johnny Silverhand that changing the world was not something Johnny Silverhand could do, he did not have that ability, but writing songs and inspiring people's spirit of resistance was what he was good at.

Inspiring the masses and leading the masses is the job of a rock boy. A song can give courage to the timid, strength to the cowardly, and light to the blind. This is much more meaningful than pop music and creating commercial value.

"Ha, these are some familiar names."

Johnny Silverhand complained that he would not have thought that after more than 50 years, the rock boys were still hiding in their own studios to record secretly. There was no other way, they were all trying to avoid the monitoring of communication satellites and the ubiquitous network surveillance.

Recording and publishing songs written by oneself is also a survival skill that a rock boy must master, or it should be said that it is the basis of survival. After all, if one cannot even publish songs, if one does not even have any works, then what kind of rock boy is he?
"By the way, Roger, call your kid along as well. Aren't they fans of Johnny? See if Johnny likes them and they can reunite as a Samurai band. What's their name? Oh, right, Tas, Tas Santiago."

Ke Ling seemed to have thought of something suddenly and spoke to Rogge again. This time, Johnny Silverhand could no longer hold back.

It has to be said that a question that he had never thought about was raised by Ke Ling. Does Rogge, who is already in his seventies or eighties, have grandchildren now? Maybe even great-grandchildren?

"Tas Santiago? Um, is he your and Santiago's son?"

Ke Ling's words were obviously easy to be misunderstood. It was hard not to think that the child of the Roger family was his descendant. It was not strange that Johnny Silverhand asked such a question. The Santiago he was talking about was of course old Santiago.

"Don't talk nonsense, Tas is not my child."

Roger spoke speechlessly, obviously feeling that Ke Ling was doing it on purpose, but there was really nothing between her and Santiago. Santiago was really not her type. That man always frowned and looked bitter and resentful. In fact, Roger also knew that Santiago liked her, but for that man, some things were more important than love, reputation, family, Santiago had too many things that he couldn't give up, so he finally chose to return to his family, get married and have children.

"That's it."

Johnny Silverhand nodded. He didn't know why, but he seemed relieved, yet he also felt confused.

"You owe Santiago a lot. You've done him a disservice."

Now that Santiago was mentioned, Roger had to say a few words. Although she and Santiago did not develop any super-friendly relationship, she had always had a good relationship with that idiot who valued reputation. Adecado would always be a reliable friend.

"Didn't I pay him?"

Johnny Silverhand was not very happy when he heard what Roger said. He didn't feel that he owed Santiago anything. For people in their line of work, it was only natural to do things for money.

"."

Roger kept silent. She felt that it was useless to say more to this guy. She thought of her past self. Every time she saw Johnny Silverhand, she was always confused about her feelings. She couldn't figure out whether she loved him or wanted to kill him!

"Call me over. I don't mind meeting fans."

Johnny Silverhand put out his cigarette. He really wanted to meet his old friend, but he thought it was hard for this Tars Santiago to be his fan. What good things could Santiago say about him? How could he let his son become his fan?
Rogge frowned, but she did not refuse and contacted Tas Santiago directly. Tas might not be happy, but his wife Lilaya would definitely be very excited, after all, she was actually the fan of Johnny Silverhand.

"We'll be there soon."

As expected, Roger got a positive answer. She would feel strange if Lilaya didn't come to see her.

"Actually, your band members are still alive. There's no need to look for them."

Roger lit a cigarette and began to speak. She still had some concerns about the members of the Samurai Band.

"Chris, Danny, Nancy, Henry, they are all alive and well, but they have each moved on to their own lives."

At this point, Roger paused. Some people live a good life, but some are different. There are many talents in this small Samurai band, and there are more scumbags than just Johnny Silverhand.

“These are some nostalgic names.”

Johnny Silverhand already knew how Kerry was doing, but he had never heard Ke Ling mention the other three. Thinking about it now, it really felt like a lifetime ago.

"What? The Samurai Band is reuniting? For the resurrection of Johnny Silverhand?!"

Jack was listening with great joy nearby. He was quite excited and wanted to join in on any fun. Actually, he couldn't be considered a fan of the Samurai band, but that didn't stop him from joining in on the fun.

"It's interesting. Maybe you can have a concert to announce your return to the world. I guess that would be cool."

V also spoke up. It was so cool just to think about it, okay? Of course, she knew it would be dangerous because Arasaka wouldn't just sit there and watch, because this guy was Johnny Silverhand, and they didn't know how Ke Ling stole this guy out.

"Maybe you can do it later, then Arasaka won't bother you."

Ke Ling added with a smile that once the old man Saburo Arasaka died, Arasaka would indeed have no time to care about Johnny Silverhand.

"Why do you make it seem like this thing you're talking about is really going to happen? I can't even get a fucking word in, I'm the person involved!"

Johnny Silverhand complained. Everyone had arranged things for him very well, but he didn't really think about doing that. More than 50 years had passed, and his old friends all had their own lives. Was it really appropriate for him to jump out and look for them at this time?

“It’s not punk to be timid.”

Roger laughed. This kind of Johnny Silverhand was actually quite rare. It seemed that being locked up for more than fifty years had affected this man. The time span of more than fifty years also made him feel alienated from the world. His personality was better than that of the bastard before. At least he knew how to think about what others thought.

"Fuck! Let's do it! How can I be a coward?!"

When Rogge laughed at him, Johnny Silverhand stood up. He actually thought it was pretty cool to hold a Samurai Band concert and announce to the world that he, Johnny Silverhand, is fucking back!

"Cool! Haha, when the time comes, let's go up there and have some fun and howl along with you!"

Jack clapped his hands on the side, this was a big event that would definitely attract huge attention. The Samurai Band might not have had such a great influence before, but after the death of Johnny Silverhand and Kerry's huge popularity, the status of the Samurai Band became higher and higher.

Plus now that Johnny Silverhand has been resurrected, the Samurai Band's reunited concert will definitely become a phenomenal event!
"This guy can make a fortune just from ticket sales."

V obviously realized this, she complained, to be honest, if she had heard about it, she would probably try to get a ticket to go in and take a look. Even if she wasn't interested in the Samurai band, how could she not be interested in Resurrection? !
"First, you have to make sure Arasaka doesn't care."

Rogge looked at Ke Ling. It was Ke Ling who said that Arasaka would not care. She wanted to know the reason. Putting herself in his shoes, she felt that Arasaka would definitely not tolerate this happening.

First of all, since such an important thing as the "RELIC chip" has been lost, Arasaka will definitely investigate. How could they just leave it alone?

"Don't worry, there will be news soon, maybe today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Arasaka Saburo will be on his way, and we have prepared a big gift for him."

Ke Ling said it easily, but it made everyone present change their expressions.

"You want to assassinate Saburo Arasaka?!"

There were exclamations in the room. There was nothing to be done, this was simply too shocking. After all, that was Saburo Arakata!
