Chapter 230 89. Arasaka High-level Meeting
Adam Heavy Hammer is currently the security director of the Arasaka branch in Night City. Carl was not surprised at all by his appearance.

This news has already spread throughout Night City, and only those who are not well-informed do not know about it.

In the past, Adam Hammer had signed a treaty similar to a security contract with Arasaka, and now he has only officially joined, so there is nothing strange about it.

But in what is going to happen today, which side will Adam represent?

If it's an enemy.
With myself, Chiyome, and Kenichi Shiro, it is not impossible for us to fight against Adam's heavy hammer.

Come face to face with the legend.

Carl's hand brushed across the night gun at his waist. The safety was on and he could fire at any time.

I moved my wrist and found that the single-molecule line was working normally and popped out without any delay.

No problem.

Carl followed Kenichi Shiro and walked step by step towards the conference room on the 133rd floor through the indoor stairs. He looked quiet and silent.

Going up to the 133rd floor, what appeared in front of Carl was an empty floor with security personnel standing on the edge. Carl could directly see the scenery of Night City outside through the transparent glass on all four sides of this floor. In the light coming through from outside, nine Arasaka senior executives wearing suits of various colors and Arasaka logo brooches on their chests were already waiting and sitting around a white conference table.

Carl's eyes swept over the guards closest to the conference table and found that except for the bodyguards of the nine senior executives, the four people standing closest to the conference table were Arasaka hackers. They were concentrating on the digital tablets in their hands, carrying out some anti-hacking activities.

'Pay attention to the two in white suits. They are the two most important people among the nine participants.'

Kenichi Shiro walked forward while sending a message to Carl:
'They are the vice presidents of the Night City branch. When Mrs. Michiko is away, they have the right to manage the affairs of Night City Arasaka. At the same time, this also includes mobilizing the power of Arasaka.'

Mobilizing the power of Arasaka, Carl understood what he meant, and while following Kenichi Shiro slowly forward, he started a conversation on the communication.

CJ: What about the other seven?
Kenichi Shiro: The other seven are directors in charge of various departments. Those seven directors are not important. They only have the qualifications to sit at the table of this branch. They are still far from the real dominance, and they are not qualified to arbitrarily transfer the authority of Arasaka in many aspects.

Carl: Got it.

Mind you.

Carl's eyes swept across the seven directors and saw an elderly man among them who looked quite similar to Furuoka Fujioka whom he had met downstairs. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be Furuoka Fujioka's father.

Dove.

Keeping this person's position in mind, Carl and Kenichi Shiro had already walked to the side of the conference table. While Carl was looking at the bodyguards following the nine branch executives, Kenichi Shiro had already sat on the left side, second only to the vice president in a white suit.

"You're really late, Kenichi-kun."

The vice president sitting next to Kenichi Shiro did not look at the insignificant bodyguards following Kenichi Shiro, but naturally cast his eyes on Kenichi Shiro: "You are the last one among us."

"Some matters need to be handled personally."

Kenichi Shiro smiled, which Carl saw from the corner of his eye, and was a little doubtful about its authenticity. He nodded at the vice president and said, "Ms. Matsudaira, we haven't seen each other for a while." "That's true. After all, you have to protect Miss Haruko well."

Matsudaira stared at Kenichi Shiro, smiled one last time, and turned his head, thus ending the conversation.

The vice president in a white suit who was sitting on the other side listened to the conversation between Kenichi Shiro and Matsudaira and took the initiative to talk to Kenichi Shiro who had not been there for a long time: "Kenichi, I don't know if the personnel transferred here before are qualified. If there are any unqualified aspects, please feel free to tell me."

Kenichi Shiro looked at the other president, smiling: "They are all excellent, including your grandson."

"That's good."

Hearing this, the president, who was a little nervous when asking, obviously relaxed a lot. Then, he glanced at a person and spoke as if he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Kenichi-kun, you haven't attended a meeting for a while, so you may not know the members well. Let me introduce you to the new director who has made outstanding contributions in the recent Osaka operation."

The elderly vice president forced a smile on his wrinkled face and extended his hand to introduce Kenichi Shiro to the woman sitting at the end on the right, a woman wearing a neat black Arasaka uniform and a ponytail.

"Susan Abernathy, now the Director of Special Operations in Night City."

During the vice president's introduction, the woman named Susan Abernathy, who obviously had a European and American appearance, stood up and bowed respectfully to Kenichi Shiro, saying, "Nice to meet you, Kenichi-san."

"Ah."

Kenichi Shiro's reaction to Abernathy's respect was very indifferent, but Abernathy did not lose her respect because of Kenichi Shiro's indifference. She sat down again only after completing the salute.

In Arasaka Corporation, it is required that subordinates should salute their superiors. Abernathy has long been accustomed to this kind of indifferent response. It is even more rare for her to enjoy Kenichi Shiro's look at her and even a nod.

After sitting down, Abernathy glanced at the vice president on the right side of the conference table, then quickly retracted her gaze and stared only at the conference display panel in front of her. She was very quiet, but there was a bit more joy in her eyes.

As the person with the least experience in these ten positions, she was actually introduced by her immediate superior, who was another powerful executive in a branch department. This kind of thing would undoubtedly reveal a piece of information within Arasaka, that is, there is someone behind her. The significance of this far exceeds the fact that she can sit at this conference table.

After Abernathy sat down, the conference table fell silent again. The seven directors who were not in a high position dared not speak, and the other three had already finished their conversation.

In this increasingly solemn and somewhat suffocating atmosphere, the crisp sound of wooden clogs rang out from downstairs.

Amid the light, steady footsteps that were not too frequent, a figure in a kimono, escorted by a woman in a ninja costume behind him, slowly came to the meeting room.

The nine Arasaka executives except Kenichi Shiro widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw the figure in kimono coming. Matsudaira, who was sitting next to Kenichi Shiro, almost stood up with his hands on the conference table.

"Why, it's her who's coming!"

There was disbelief written on their faces.

"Wasn't it Mrs. Michiko who returned and chaired the meeting today? ! "
