Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 231 90. Well, I am
"Ms. Haruko, why are you here?"

Everyone in the meeting was surprised by this sudden arrival, but after being surprised, Matsudaira reacted quickly and completed the action of standing up that he had just started halfway through.

In front of this lady, he had no right to continue sitting and speaking.

"How could it be Miss Haruko?"

Although the others reacted a little slower than Matsudaira, they all stood up and watched Miss Haruko approaching. As Haruko walked slowly forward in her wooden clogs, their waists bent more and more.

Haruko had no intention of talking to them, nor did she look at anyone else, not even at Kenichi Shiro who was approaching and standing up. She just slowly walked behind him until she reached the host seat at the conference table.

In the eyes of the senior executives who lowered their heads and watched Haruko's movements with their peripheral vision, Haruko naturally sat in the seat that was supposed to be occupied by her mother.

"Let's start the meeting. I'm already here."

Just such plain words were enough to shut up anyone who wanted to say something.

Needless to say.

Michiko Arasaka didn't come, but Haruko Arasaka was there, and the situation was the same.

As one of the few members of the Arasaka family in the world, Haruko Arasaka has the qualifications to stay here and to make all those waiting obey her.

After bowing, everyone slowly straightened up and sat down slowly under Haruko's gaze.

Matsudaira sat down slowly, much slower than how excited he was when he stood up.

"Please sit down, Matsudaira-san."

Kenichi Shiro's soft voice came from the side, and when Matsudaira looked over, he saw Kenichi Shiro who was completely different from the one who smiled before.

The face was still smiling, but it didn't look like it was smiling.

It seems like a smile but not a smile.

For some reason, this idiom suddenly popped up in Matsudaira's mind, and then he felt an inexplicable chill on his back.

"hehe."

Matsudaira forced a smile in response and sat back in his chair as if nothing had happened, but his physiological monitoring kept sending him warnings.

'Reminder, your heart rate has exceeded the normal value, please slow down and calm down.'

'Warning, your heart rate has exceeded the previous maximum. Please empty your mind and think. The third conditioning method is recommended. Start taking deep breaths now, and then.'

'I know! '

Angry at the physiological monitoring that was still messing with him, Matsudaira turned off the monitoring and sat in the chair, forcing himself to accept the current facts.

What are the facts?
The fact is that Mrs. Michiko didn't come for some reason, but Haruko came instead!
Why Haruko, why her?
Could it be that she has already found out?
It's impossible. I had done a very clean job, and I was just pretending to put things on the table. The people who stole the information and carried out the attack plans were all hawks. If I was wrong in this matter, then the only mistake was that I didn't see my subordinate clearly and let him do the wrong thing. Moreover, that subordinate had been dealt with long ago, so there was no way that the matter would be exposed!

Matsudaira's heart was pounding, and the feeling of suffocation caused by nervousness made his stomach feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he would vomit as soon as he opened his mouth.

'Keep calm, keep calm'

Matsudaira kept repeating this to himself in his mind. Even though he was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, his expression remained unchanged and even his breathing became much smoother.

"Excuse me, Ms. Haruko, do you understand the agenda for today's meeting?"

While Matsudaira was adjusting himself, the vice president, who was a little surprised to see Haruko coming but didn't think it was a big deal, spoke up. He glanced at Matsudaira, who usually spoke first but was particularly quiet today, and suggested to Haruko, "Do you want me to report the proposal first?"

The director obviously had no right to talk to Miss Haruko about such matters, and since Matsudaira didn't say anything today, he had to come forward.

"Proposal report? I already know all of this, no need to report." "Yes."

The old vice president nodded and said, "Then let me start the first agenda. The first is the recent discovery of a military technology weapons production line in Alberta, Canada."

"Please wait for this one as well."

The old vice president was interrupted by Haruko halfway through his speech.

Haruko sat down with her hands flat on her knees, and said apologetically, "Before this, I have something to tell you."

"Is this a temporary topic?"

Mrs. Michiko has done this kind of thing many times, so the old vice president immediately stopped the topic appearing on the screen and stopped talking. After that, at Haruko's signal, Kenichi Shiro slowly stood up.

For some reason, when he saw Kenichi Shiro standing up, Matsudaira's heartbeat quickened again. An extremely bad feeling surged into his heart. Before he could figure out what this feeling was, Kenichi Shiro had already spoken:

"Let me make an announcement."

Kenichi Shiro looked around the conference table and said, "Among everyone present, there is a traitor who sold our Arasaka intelligence to Militech without authorization."

"traitor?!"

Kenichi Shiro's words after he stood up caused an uproar among the crowd. They looked at each other in disbelief: "There is a traitor among us?"

Even though he has reached this position, there is actually a traitor who is colluding with military technology!
Matsudaira's heart was beating even faster, but on the surface, he still looked astonished and unbelievable as the people around him.

Quietly, while looking around, he contacted some people.

Things may be exposed, we must be prepared
"A traitor in contact with Militech."

The old vice president looked around at the people around him, but he didn't see any panic on their faces. He subconsciously looked at Kenichi Shiro inquiringly: "Kenichi, who is the traitor you are talking about?"

"We're ready."

Kenichi Shiro did not intend to explain for the vice president. He just turned to Haruko and said, "We are just waiting for your order, Miss Haruko."

What is the order?
When Matsudaira's hand quietly reached under the conference table, Haruko nodded, then looked to her side with a smile and called someone's name.

That name was unfamiliar to most of the people in the meeting.

It's not Kenichi Shiro, nor is it Chiyo, but
"Karl."

"Well, I'm here."

When everyone turned their eyes towards the source of the voice, Haruko's next words had already come out.

"Do it."

As he spoke, Matsudaira had already taken out the pistol hidden in his leg, his face grim: "I"

Before Matsudaira could finish his words, or even call himself that, an arm had already opened its five fingers and grasped his head.

"it is good."

There was a crisp sound accompanying Haruko's response.

"Kacha."

The vice president, who was high up in the world and second only to two other people in the entire Arasaka America region, made the same sound when his skull was shattered as that of an ordinary person.
