Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 480. Visitors
“There are so many people coming.”

Victor-Victor, Old V and Mrs. Wells and Misty have arrived.

“It looks like there are a lot of young people here today.”

Victor looked around the room, and like every other visitor, his eyes first fell on Kerry.

"Oh, it looks like there's a big star here."

"Please sit down, Old Wei. I'm going to help Carl. Mrs. Wells, please sit down for a while."

"I've already told you that you don't have to call me so politely now, Misty. You can call me more intimately."

With Mrs. Wells's slightly complaining voice, Misty walked into the kitchen and greeted Carl:

"Good afternoon Carl."

"Good afternoon Misty, didn't Jack go to pick you up? Why didn't he come?"

"After he dropped us off, he said he was going to buy some more wine, and then he drove away again."

"It looks pretty busy then."

Carl nodded to Misty and pointed to the side: "I'll leave it to you to take care of that pot of fried corn chips over there. Jack likes this the most."

"Just leave it to me."

Misty said, but suddenly smiled when she passed by Karl, and then said: "Speaking of which, Karl, I went to do some divination on the way here. Do you want to guess what I divined?"

“How delicious is the food?”

Carl was speaking speculatively, but Misty just narrowed her eyes and shook her head with a smile: "I divined your luck and found that everyone will have a good day today, and your card, Carl, is a lover."

"Lover?"

Carl didn't quite understand Misty's tarot reading: "What does it mean?"

"Developing different relationships symbolizes love, cooperation and choice. In short, you will have an unusual day today."

"It's definitely unusual. After all, there are so many guests. If Mr. Johnson and Father Oliver were here, maybe we could really discuss the cooperation in detail."

Speaking of cooperation, it's a pity for Carl.

Among the personnel on the Night City trade route, although Carl from Adecado was invited, only Panam said he would come. If they really wanted to talk, Mr. Johnson, Father Oliver and Thor had to be present.

But there is good news. Jed, a friend of Carl and Oliver at the transportation and logistics center, will come to visit today. He just happened to have a batch of things to transport to Little Chinatown in Watson District, so he came over for a visit. Jed's fried pork chops are amazing. Even Kenichi Shiro gave him a good review. When he comes, it's a good opportunity to let him fry the pork chops.

While he was thinking in his mind, the elevator, which was particularly busy today, stopped again in the large flat. Then, two police officers in NCPD uniforms walked out of it, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Are the NCPD people coming?

During the brief moment of confusion, Mann and Brown recognized the younger of the two police officers.

"Andy, why are you here wearing NCPD uniforms?"

"I just dealt with a riot on the street caused by Christmas cake with Mr. Johnson. I came here after it was over."

Looking at the people who were greeting each other in a familiar manner, Kerry blinked and focused his gaze on the older NCPD officer.

Although he didn't know many people, he still knew this police officer.

Deputy Chief of NCPD.
Last time in Dogtown, Brown, who was the bodyguard, had met Johnson because he knew Andy, but Kerry, who was singing on the stage at that time, had not met the deputy director. Today was the first time the two met. Carl and his friends knew a lot of people.

Kerry's idea reached its peak with the arrival of Oliver's father, Nottingham-Winrio, now the boss of the Sixth Street Gang.

'Six Street Gang'

He looks like a person of high status.

Mercenaries, cyborg doctors, bar owners, NCPD, gang members, and myself, a rock star
There are people from all walks of life here.

Even Kerry, who is already quite old, felt like he had learned a lot.

He felt that no matter who he saw next, he would not be surprised.

"Hi, Carl. There are so many people."

Panam and V, who came to pick her up, also arrived. Panam, who had excitedly started greeting people as soon as the elevator door opened, looked at the people in the room, and just as she raised her hand, she froze. Facing all the attention focused on her, her face became a little embarrassed.

At a glance, there are many people I recognize. Oliver's father, Jack's mother, and Old Wei are all elders to V and Carl. It would be inappropriate for me to be so casual when I first arrive.

Panam couldn't help but turn his head to look at V, his eyes full of questions.

"So there are so many people here!"

"You came too late. If you had come earlier, you wouldn't have to endure such stares."

V responded with his eyes. In fact, he was also quite surprised that most people had arrived.

Fortunately, it is a large two-story flat and it has been decorated in advance, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people. I just don’t know when Oliver, who went to pick up his sister, and Jack, who went to buy wine, will come back.

After V came back, T-BUG, who had been slightly dressed up, also showed up on the second floor.

So-called dressing up, in fact, just changed out of the black customer service clothes that she usually wore at home, and changed into regular clothes that can be seen in public. However, for T-BUG, who can be considered a home girl, this is already a very special outfit.

Not long after, Jed, whom Carl had been thinking about, arrived. As soon as he arrived, he was taken to the kitchen to help. With Jed's help, Carl didn't have much work to do.

I originally thought that I wouldn’t need too much help from my friends, but it turned out that so many people came that I ended up not needing to do any work at all.

The visitors were scattered all over the large double-story building, and Carl briefly counted the number of people.

There are seven people in Brown's team and Kerry, and there are nine people in Mann's team, including the driver Falco who was invited by Carl, and then Mrs. Wells, Old Wei, Misty, Jade, Panam, Johnson, and Andy.

There are already 23 people. The remaining guests should be Sister Oliver and...
Carl was counting the number of people and thinking, it felt like Chinese New Year. When guests came during the Chinese New Year, it seemed that only this many people could be gathered. If you think about it carefully, the meaning of Christmas in foreign countries is almost the same as Chinese New Year. So is this eating at home during the Chinese New Year?

Then this feeling is just right.

Carl is not opposed to lively gatherings. If the people there are real "family" and "friends", he would be happy to have such a gathering during the New Year.

But there are more guests than just these present.

"drop."

Because there was nothing to do, Carl came out of the kitchen and heard the elevator arriving. He walked to the side of the elevator and looked up, and happened to meet the eyes of the person in the elevator who was looking at him.

The person who came is
Blanca.
