from night city

Although that biochip is one of Arasaka's important research projects, it is also a valuable asset.

But the most important thing now is to maintain good cooperation with Lidya Su.

In Night City, a place far away from home, he has no relatives or friends.

The prosthetic body on his body was remotely shut down, and even his bank account was canceled.

Not frozen.

It’s a direct account cancellation!

He can't even spare a euro now.

Takemura's ability to become Saburo Arasaka's valet depends on more than just force.

And brains.

Seppuku is impossible.

It is impossible to commit seppuku in this life.

The only way is to be useful first.

Then find a way to restore your identity and status.

And to do this, even if he didn't want to, he had to cooperate with Su Xiao and others.

In the car.

V asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"You were Saburo's guard, and later you swore allegiance to Arasaka Yoshinobu, but why did you also become Arasaka's target?"

"I wanted to find out the real murderer of Lord Saburo, but I didn't expect to be targeted by Yorinobu. However, this also made me more certain that it was Lord Saburo who was killed by Yorinobu."

Jack asked strangely: "Why are you so loyal to Saburo? Has he given you a lot of benefits?"

Jack could understand the kind of loyalty that goes through life and death for a brother.

But he really couldn't imagine why Takemura Goro worked so hard for the company.

Now that Arasaka Yorinobu has become the new head of the Arasaka family, shouldn't it be enough for Takemura Goro to continue to be Yorinobu's dog?

Anyway, working for Saburo is still a job, but working for Yorinobu is not a job?

Even Arasaka Yorinobu has given up, so why is Goro Takemura still trying to compete?

Really the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Goro Takemura curled his lips and looked a little arrogant.

"Thieves like you who are at the bottom of society will never understand the loyalty of a samurai."

"Once upon a time, I was just like you. I spent the first half of my life in a smelly ditch."

"But it was Master Saburo who extended a helping hand to me and pulled me out of the slums."

"Let me receive the best education and implant the most advanced prosthetics in me."

"I, Goro Takemura, will remember this kindness of knowing me for the rest of my life."

Lidya Su, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.

"Have you ever wondered why you were born in a ghetto?"

"Is it possible that what Saburo gave you was what Arasaka took away before you were born?"

Takemura Goro's eyes suddenly changed, like a beast that preys on people: "What do you mean?"

"You are grateful to Saburo for taking you out of the slums and giving you an education and a prosthetic body, but you have never thought about it. If there was no Arasaka created by your master in this world, people like you could have done it. You don’t have to live in a slum.”

Goro Takemura seemed to have been touched by a reverse scale and roared crazily: "Impossible! This is absolutely not possible!"

In the car after that, no one spoke anymore.

Goro Takemura kept turning his head and looking out the window.

His expression was calm, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Xiao and the other two stopped talking.

The silent atmosphere did not last long, when the Delamain taxi took them from the desolate and unpopular industrial area in the north of the city to the bustling Japanese street...

"I'll get off here, thank you."

"Stop the car, Delamain."

The Delama taxi turned to the side of the road and slowly pulled over.

Goro Takemura opened the car door, but he hesitated: "About my previous proposal..."

Chapter 161 Take the road, broad road (3K)

Su Xiao shook his head: "We will not commit perjury, no matter what the purpose is."

Takemura Goro didn't take it seriously.

"Planning, preparation... these all take time. As long as you help me, you will definitely benefit from it."

"Now, I need to meet a few friends and ask them for help. I will call you when my people in Arasaka are ready."

"People change. Maybe you will have different ideas by then."

Seeing Goro Takemura's unwillingness to give up, Su Xiao no longer responded coldly, but said vaguely: "Let's talk about it then."

When Goro Takemura left, Jack couldn't wait to say.

"I'm so thirsty. What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."

Su Xiao glanced out of the car window, and there happened to be a bar not far from the roadside where they were parked.

Knowing that Jack was addicted to alcohol, and that everyone had been hiding in the safe house a few days ago, Jack had not touched a drop of alcohol - because Su Xiao did not smoke or drink, so everything was prepared in the safe house, that is, No tobacco or alcohol stored.

Jack was almost stifled.

Now I finally got out, and there happened to be a bar next to it.

Jack couldn't stand it anymore.

"I don't need it, just bring a bottle of tequila to V."

"Hey, I'll be back soon."

Su Xiao didn't stop herself, which made Jack ecstatic.

He walked away with a smile on his face.

Those who didn’t know it thought they had picked up a 500 million lottery ticket and were rushing to claim the prize.

After Jack left, only Su Xiao and V were left in the car.

V's lips parted slightly: "Su, what do you think?"

Su Xiao knew that V was asking about Goro Takemura's proposal.

So he said coldly: "If you listen to him, you might as well just leave the city and join the Rangers. At least the Rangers still have the concept of family. The company doesn't even have the most basic human touch."

V’s eyes widened: “You mean he’s lying to me?

they? "

"It's hard to say," Su Xiao shook his head, "But even if he is really a traditional warrior who just wants to avenge his master, nothing will change."

"Companies, all companies are the same. When you are of value, they will pour you ecstasy soup and fool you into a daze."

"If this happens to you, congratulations, your boss just wants to buy a new car."

"As long as you are no longer useful, you will be kicked out immediately. It doesn't matter about old friendships or hard work... In their eyes, employees are just talking mules."

"The company building looks quite spectacular from the outside, but..."

"The work pressure is high, and we have to watch out for each other. Either we have ulcers or neurasthenia..."

Su Xiao suddenly felt a pair of warm and tender hands wrapping her own hand in them.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw V's clear and serious expression.

"Sorry, I think I said too much."

V shook his head gently.

"You can talk to me anytime you want."

I don’t know if it’s Lidya Su’s illusion.

I always feel like the atmosphere is a bit...

Only then did Su Xiao realize.

Although V is already very beautiful normally.

But now V is even more beautiful.
