The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

It's probably like a person who failed the civil service exam several times in a row, and finally someone pointed at the retired military dog ​​walking outside and mocked "even it can have a system, but you don't", and after seeing this, he would run over to comfort him.

The Soviet Union, the red giant, did not fall, but it turned from a former warrior into a despised fly.

Of course, if we really want to talk about resisting capital, Johnny Silverhand, the rock boy, can only have fun.

The real hero is still Arasaka Yorinobu.

This fighter, known as the "tamed dragon", has never stopped fighting against his father and his empire since the first time he tried to resist his father and his empire.

This world should not be like this!

Arasaka Yorinobu believed this and did it.

But compared to directly forming a gang in the early years and then openly confronting Arasaka Corporation, after learning many lessons and experiences, he decided to disintegrate the company's power from the inside bit by bit.

After all, the current corporate capital is so strong that it cannot be confronted head-on.

Just saying so...

But this fighter who hides in the shadows and is ready to stab the world's capital at any time is a little panicked.

The reason is that his biological father and other enemies-Arasaka Saburo, has become a little bit wrong in recent years.

No!

It should be said that it is very wrong!

Although since this change, Arasaka Saburo's attitude towards him is no longer as tense as before, but a kind of turning a blind eye to him, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

But it is still wrong!

Overnight, regardless of the aging of the body, he suddenly decided to come out from behind the scenes and step onto the power stage of Arasaka again.

Even the relic project, which was originally developed at all costs to prolong life, has become very unpopular...

For this reason, even Anders Hermann, the chief biological engineer of Arasaka and the highest person in charge of the relic project, has become difficult.

Or simply sit on the bench.

The funds that could be approved with just a word now have to beg for nods and begging.

Even after being ridiculed by Saburo Arasaka for a long time, it is not certain that he will be approved - it is simply a change from a hot cake to a stinky rag.

All kinds of contrasts made Herman want to defect from Arasaka to Konto...

It is a good thing that this guy left, at least he can use this opportunity to provoke a conflict between Arasaka and Konto.

But helping Herman escape from Arasaka is another matter.

The most important thing at the moment is the change of his "good father".

In fact, it is not only Herman who is sitting on the bench.

As Saburo Arasaka came to the front again, his daughter Hanako Arasaka, who was originally responsible for helping him handle affairs and existed as his agent, became less valued.

After all, Hanako Arasaka's rights all came from Saburo Arasaka, and when the latter did not need her, her situation could be imagined.

In general, this series of changes always gave Arasaka Yorinobu a bad premonition.

He knew that the purpose of Saburo Arasaka's research on relic was to extract consciousness and prolong his life - and as the other party's biological son, he could be said to be the best container.

That demon has always coveted his body!

Arasaka Yorinobu has always known this.

But just as he said before, in the blink of an eye, the relic project was completely abandoned and unpopular, leaving only the commercial value of the slogan promoted in the market.

The reason is a bit scary.

Putting aside the possibility that the militarist madman suddenly became indifferent to life and death, this is completely impossible.

The only explanation is that there is no need to study it anymore, and the current level is enough... or he no longer needs relic.

These two can be said to be worse than the other.

What makes Arasaka Yorinobu feel even more horrified is the change in his father's body - the traces of prosthetic transformation have completely disappeared, and even turned into the original body.

This kind of thing is impossible!

Although medical technology is advanced, it is a trivial matter to reconnect a broken arm, but it is limited to the case that it has just fallen off.

It is too outrageous to want to achieve complete regeneration of the body!

But -

This thing actually happened.

Moreover, the other party greeted him kindly after seeing him... This is even more terrifying!

"Night City... What happened there...?"

He stayed in the room alone, scratching his hair hard.

Night City -

This is the only clue he could find after Saburo Arasaka relaxed his surveillance on him.

It was after returning from there that the other party's style of behavior changed so much.

"No way... I can only gamble!"

He gritted his teeth and made the final decision.

Even though he didn't know the specific situation, and the situation seemed to be developing in a favorable direction for him, it was definitely not a good way to sit and wait for death!

At least if his father really got eternal life, the whole human race would fall into darkness.

So even if he risked his own life, he had to stop him!

To do this, he had to find someone first.

[Hey, Herman, are you convenient to talk now? ]

[Rai, Lai Xuan? What do you want? ]

[I won’t say any more nonsense to save time. I can help you with your trip to Kangtao. As for the rest, it’s up to you. ]

[! ]

Hermann on the other end of the line was stunned by Arasaka Yoriaki’s words.

Although he did come to Yoriaki in the beginning, hoping that the other party would help him for the sake of disgusting Arasaka Company, he was directly rejected by Yoriaki at that time.

Now the other party took the initiative to say that he would help...

[So, what are the conditions? ]

[The latest model of relic chip, the one with Johnny Silverhand installed, bring it to Night City, California, USA, and give it to me...]

[The latest model of chip! ? Are you crazy? If I give this to you, they will kill me! ]

[It’s up to you whether to give it or not. Anyway, if you continue like this, Saburo will kill you sooner or later. If you fight, you still have a chance of survival... These are my conditions, you can choose. ]

[…Then what excuse should I use to go to Night City? You must know how many bodyguards I have around me for surveillance, right? 】

【This is your problem. Don't tell me that you can't even do this now. If that's the case, then you can fend for yourself. 】

Arasaka Yorinobu hung up the phone immediately without giving Herman any room for bargaining.

In this regard, he did inherit Saburo Arasaka.

Chapter 364 So what are you doing here?

Take a deep breath and lean back on the seat behind you.

"I hope my choice is correct."

The chip with Johnny Silverhand's mark... To be honest, this is the worst choice that can only be used in the worst case.

The spirit and courage of the other party to resist Arasaka and corporate colonialism are indeed worthy of praise.

But on the other hand, if you want to say what he is like... it's hard to evaluate.

To put it bluntly, Johnny is just a rock kid after all, so don't expect him to be culturally advanced.

But he has one thing that many people in this era don't have-that is, he has the heart to resolutely resist the company to the end.

That's enough.

If the situation really develops to the worst, he will give up his body and let the other party be reborn.

And this can also cut off Arasaka Saburo's plan to be reborn in his body.

To some extent, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

He relaxed his spirit in his seat, then got up and walked out the door to find his assistant.

This is one of the few people he can trust relatively in Arasaka... but really only a little.

"Help me find a plane to Night City. I want to go there to relax next week."

"Yes, Lord Yoriaki."

Without asking the reason, watching Arasaka Yoriaki leave and eventually disappear, the secretary dialed a few numbers to make an appointment for the plane, and then dialed another number.

"... Lord Yoriaki just said that he would go to Night City next week."

"Yes, that's what he said... Report to Lord Saburo as usual."

After reporting to her nominal boss in full, the beautiful assistant hung up the phone, pretended to be calm, and sent someone to pack the luggage.

What she didn't know was that after leaving, Arasaka Yorinobu went straight to the airport and boarded his own private plane.

...

It was in Night City on the other side.

When Saburo Arasaka got the news, Lin Qiao, who possessed his body with genetic factors, naturally knew that Arasaka Yorinobu was coming to Night City.

Even though I understand Arasaka Saburo based on his memory, I personally feel that Arasaka Yorinobu should play some tricks, but it is ultimately an insignificant matter.

To be fair, Lin Qiao really can't understand his thoughts... You really don't know how dangerous this place is, right?

Obviously, under his manipulation, Saburo Arasaka has relaxed the supervision of Arasaka Yorinobu and given him enough freedom to act, and even the attitude of father and son in daily life has become much friendlier.

Even Lin Qiao has made plans. When she is about to leave this world, she will kick Huazi directly, and then manipulate Saburo Arasaka's body to make a will or something, and pass the throne to him directly... But what are you doing in Night City?

When gods fight, prisoners suffer.

Unfortunately, Arasaka Yoshinobu is this mortal.

Let alone other things, there are hundreds of nuclear warheads ready to be launched at any time, meteorite shells from the mass accelerator on the moon, as well as other military bases and super aircraft carrier formations...

All of these are aimed at Night City, okay!

"My dear son, why don't you listen to advice?"

Lin Qiao was a little troubled by this.

What are you doing here?

It's impossible that you came all the way here just for Evelyn Parker's shot, right?

You are already in your eighties or nineties.

V walked into the clinic and took a look at him, feeling a little confused. He hadn't heard that he and Lucy had a child.

Could this guy have created an injustice outside?

Lin Qiao, who could see what she was thinking, shook her head: "How is it, V? How does the new home feel?"

"It's okay, but moving is a bit tiring. If you and Jack didn't come to help, I would be exhausted... and the rent in Haywood is so much more expensive than in Watson District."

Speaking of this, she seemed to have more resentment.

It has been a long time since she and Jack formed a golden partnership.

And the "money" brought back by the two was also sold to Westbrook's middleman Okada Wakako.

Although in the end, it was inevitable that the price was severely reduced, which made Jack a little unhappy.

Fortunately, as a professional middleman, Wakako Okada also knew the principle of knowing when to stop, so she didn't reduce it too much.

With the money from selling lizards, plus Jack, a local veteran, as a guide, V, as an outsider, quickly gained a foothold in Night City.

And her innate and acquired skills also made her a well-known presence in the mercenary circle.
