Chapter 372 134. Enemy

"Karl, you're here too?" "Karl, you're here?"

After greeting Carl at the same time, Brown and Andy were stunned, and then looked at each other.

Then, the same words came out almost simultaneously: "You know Carl."

"You two actually know each other."

Karl walked over with a smile: "That's really a coincidence."

"We worked together before when we were mercenaries."

Andy nodded to Carl: "But I didn't expect the circle to be so small. You and Brown also know each other."

"They are all mercenaries in the next life. Their circle can't be that big."

Brown said, observing Carl who was walking over, and then said, "It seems that you are here as a guest today."

The reason for saying this is that Brown and Andy were both wearing loose clothes suitable for combat. If you compare them with Carl who was wearing a suit, you will understand what roles they each play today.

"Andy, you are here to protect Mr. Johnson today, and Brown, you are here, wearing this outfit, which means..."

Carl said, "Is Kerry here?"

Brown and his team are now Kerry's bodyguards. His appearance here obviously means that Kerry is also here.

"Krita will perform as the opening guest of the banquet today."

"I didn't expect Kerry would accept Hansen's invitation. I thought he wasn't interested in this."

"The agent took it. Kerry was quite unhappy about the job."

Brown looked around and said, "But there are so many people here today. I thought Kerry would be the only celebrity at Kurt Hansen's banquet, but I didn't expect there would be so many big names, all of whom I had only seen on video in the past."

"In addition to the celebrities, there are many other important people."

Andy added, "Mr. Johnson is here, the Animal Gang is here, and I just saw the Sixth Street Gang. These people who usually fight each other on the street are now able to talk peacefully here. It's amazing to see them."

"After all, the streets can't always be filled with violence. Isn't it true that gangs fight over territory just to have a stable place to gain benefits?"

After Carl chatted with Andy and Brown for a while, he heard footsteps approaching him.

The reason why he could hear the footsteps approaching him was because the footsteps were very straight and the landing points formed a line in Carl's auditory perception.

Look back.

There are indeed many acquaintances today.

“Karl, I didn’t expect it was really you.”

Wearing a simple light pink dress, Blanca stood in front of Carl with a glass of wine in her hand.

"Blanca."

Carl nodded slightly.

The good news was that he confirmed that someone from Military Technology had indeed come today. The bad news was that it was Blanca who came.

Seeing a woman who seemed to be very familiar with Carl approaching, Brown and Andy looked at each other and walked a little further away.

Although I don’t know the relationship between Carl and this woman, as a friend, it’s better to give him some private space.

After Andy and Brown walked away, Blanca took a look at Carl's outfit and her eyes stayed on his face: "Who are you representing today?"

"Can't I come here on my own behalf?" "If you want, I think Kurt Hansen wouldn't mind welcoming you as a personal guest, but... that's impossible. It's not your character."

"You know me well."

Carl was always very honest with his friends: "I am a representative hired by Arasaka."

"Arasaka?"

Hearing this term that is very familiar to military technicians, Blanca's brows were instantly furrowed tightly, and then she stared at Carl's face, but slowly relaxed her brows:
"It seems the reward is quite high."

"It's quite a lot indeed."

It is even the largest commission I have ever received.

"Then" Blanca looked at Carl: "You must have guessed what I am going to do here today."

"Stop the negotiations, disgust Arasaka."

"wrong."

Blanca suddenly smiled: "I am attending the banquet, waiting for my friend to deal with the opponent."

"Deal with the opponent?"

Carl looked at Blanca's smile and realized something: "The person who came with Military Technology today wasn't you?"

"This kind of thing involving Arasaka, if we can stop it successfully it will be a great achievement, how could it be possible for me, a minister who has been in office for less than three months, to take on the task."

Things involving military technology are good jobs in Arasaka that are so popular that they are hard to get even if you snatch them up. Similarly, jobs involving Arasaka are also good jobs in military technology that are so popular that you can’t snatch them up even if you snatch them up.

Kenichi and Shiro Kenichi were promoted as vice president of Night City Arasaka Tower. Now their position in Arasaka is director. To deal with an Arasaka director, the military technology department naturally needs someone of the same position, and this is obviously not something that Blanca, the minister, can access.

"So your original plan today was to come and destroy"

"That's not what I'm supposed to do."

Blanka waved her hand. "If you betray your side when dealing with Arasaka, it would be a great sin if you are discovered. I just came to see if my opponent can accomplish her great feat. If she can, I will immediately shrink myself and temporarily give up the idea of ​​her position. If she fails, fails in the face of Arasaka, then I will have to think about it when I go back. It is obviously unqualified to let an incompetent and disloyal person stay in that position."

"The person who sold out the transportation routes before he got promoted said loyalty."

Karl was a little speechless: "In other words, you are here to watch the show today?"

"I can't do anything, so I can only watch. But after knowing that you are the representative of Arasaka, I feel relieved. Now we can start preparing to do something."

"Do you trust me so much to get this done?"

Carl said, "You're not afraid that I won't be able to fail, but that I've helped your mortal enemy successfully negotiate this deal with Kurt Hansen. Do you believe in my 100% success rate?"

"How can it be."

Blanca extended her index finger towards Carl and tapped the left collar of Carl's clothes: "I just believe in Carl, who has never let me down since the first time. He is the one who was disturbed even when he was having a meal on the street."

"Come on."

Carl rolled his eyes: "Anyway, the military technology personnel who will stop the negotiations next are your mortal enemies, right?"

"You could also call it a stumbling block before promotion."

"Since we're going to clash anyway, I'll just help you out."
