Chapter 513 126. That’s Not Bad
The time is 1:40 p.m.
There are still twenty minutes before the arrival time agreed with Arasakaze Nobuyuki, but as a professional team, Carl and his team are already waiting at the port.
For escort missions, one must arrive early to leave a good impression on the employer. If one arrives on time, what if the employer is killed one minute before the mission begins? As long as the compensation is sufficient, the KK team does not mind working overtime for half an hour or an hour.
KK team was standing openly at the port, which naturally attracted the attention of some Arasaka personnel. However, after those Arasaka personnel received orders from their superiors to hand over the port dispatch work to robots, the attention KK team received obviously decreased.
As for why it has only become less instead of disappearing, it can only be said that there are still a lot of surveillance cameras in places like ports. The departure of personnel does not mean that the surveillance will disappear.
However, this kind of legitimate peeping was not taken too seriously by the members of the KK team. What they were more concerned about now was whether the person they were escorting, Arasakase Nobuyuki, would be late.
"Still no reply?"
Jack asked Carl, who was staring at his phone, "There's less than half an hour left, and he still hasn't replied to the message you sent an hour ago. It can't be that something went wrong while crossing the Pacific."
"If we come by boat, it's possible. After all, there are all kinds of automatic induction torpedoes scattered in the Pacific Ocean. I heard that some are controlled by AI. But if we come by hovercraft, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Carl said, not quite sure: "It can't be that there is not enough fuel and the plane crashed in mid-air. That would be a joke from hell."
"The next leader of Arasaka Corporation is not even worth a dime because of a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean. This really sounds like a hell of a joke."
Oliver shook his head: "But it's better for Sei Xuan not to encounter such a thing. He has a good personality. If he encounters such a thing, it's better to let that guy Arasaka Saburo replace him."
"Is that the judgment of a full-blooded old Stars and Stripes man of American descent?"
"Still holding onto America. There's no old America anymore. There's only new America and crappy military technology. I'm from Night City."
Oliver complained about Karl: "And you're still talking about me. Aren't you nominally the son of a dog from Kangtao Company? Your identity is pretty weird, isn't it?"
"Let's keep things one."
As Karl was talking, he noticed a message popping up on his phone.
Arasakaze Nobuyuki sent a message: "I will arrive earlier than scheduled. Are you already at the port?"
"I have seen your hovercraft, Mr. Nobuyuki."
Carl watched the hovercraft slowly approaching the port in the sky and checked the time.
1:50 p.m., ten minutes earlier than scheduled.
The hovercraft quickly stopped in front of Carl and his companions, and as the door slid open, people familiar to Carl and his companions walked out.
Arasakase Nobuo got out of the car carrying something that looked like a suitcase.
suitcase?
wrong.
After taking another look, Carl corrected his judgment.
As he watched, the box in Arasakase Nobuo's hand was more like a device than a suitcase for carrying personal clothes. Carl could hear a slight mechanical sound. If he listened carefully, it was as if there was a constant temperature device that adjusted the temperature in the suitcase.
"Could it be that there is a living thing inside this thing?"
Carl guessed in his mind. Judging from the size of the box, the things it could hold should not be very big. If there was a living thing inside, judging from the size, it should be a rabbit, chicken or something like that, or at most a large lizard.
Is it a chicken?
Smuggling chicken into Night City?
Carl was amused by his own strange idea.
Although the laws of Night City do not allow poultry meat, as the hawkish helmsman of Arasaka Corporation, Arasaka Nobuyuki came all the way here, carrying a box with him, just to smuggle a chicken. Just thinking about it, it feels like an emperor using a golden hoe.
But if it is really chicken, then it must be extremely delicious chicken. Could it be that Le Xuan learned from the last lesson and brought his own ingredients?
If you want to cook a whole chicken, should you boil it or stew it? Considering the environment on the top floor, you can also try roasting it.
Carl's mind was extremely active because of the installation of the new access warehouse, and it might take some time for him to adapt to this.
After getting off the hovercraft, Arasakase Nobuyuki did not chat with Carl and the others for too long. He just briefly confirmed that Carl and the others were indeed their real selves and not military technology agents in disguise. Then he gestured to Carl and the others to lead the way. He planned to take Carl and the others' car to the Blue Sky Building.
"Why not take this hovercraft?"
Carl watched as Arasakase Nobuo left, and the hovercraft was automatically controlled to slowly rise into the air. He didn't understand why Arasakase Nobuo left the hovercraft unused.
"That car will start the return trip and crash into the Pacific Ocean on the way."
Arasakase Nobuo looked at the hovercraft that had started to turn around and start again, and only said something about the ending of the hovercraft, but did not explain why he did this.
Karl didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded: "I see. But if I had known earlier that you would take our car, Mr. Seto, I would have sent the floating car here."
As the surveillance cameras of Arasaka Port were still watching from all around, a group of five people began to slowly walk out of the Arasaka waterfront area. Their itinerary was being watched and reported layer by layer until it reached the hands of Michiko Arasaka, the current controller of Arasaka Tower in Night City.
At this time, Michiko Arasaka was busy handling affairs in the Arasaka Tower. When she saw the message, she simply told her subordinates that she already knew it and put it aside.
According to the information she had, the reason why Arasaka Nobuyuki came to Night City was very clear.
Previously, he had been defeated in a battle on the Japanese mainland involving his forces and those of Saburo Arasaka, and his forces had suffered heavy losses.
If he continued to stay in mainland Japan, he might face the risk of assassination, so he fled to Night City for temporary refuge.
Regarding this matter, Michiko Arasaka had already received Arasakase Nobuo's request for help in advance, and had gained a lot of benefits from this request. Since she had already got what she wanted, Michiko Arasaka did not mind Arasakase Nobuo's arrival.
In the internal struggles, Arasaka Nobuyuki was suppressed many times by Arasaka Saburo with his experienced and skillful tactics, but every time Arasaka Nobuyuki was able to make a comeback. It was like this when he left Arasaka and it is also like this now in Arasaka. This is nothing special.
After all, as long as Saburo Arasaka is still alive, Arasaka Nobuo's struggle seems to fail again and again. In Michiko Arasaka's view, this is just another cycle.
Compared to the affairs between Saburo Arasaka and Nobuo Arasaka, and between her grandfather and uncle, Michiko Arasaka cares more about her daughter.
My daughter, it seems that more and more people are supporting her.
but
Michiko Arasaka looked at the cake on her desk.
Her cake-making skills are getting better and better.
That.
Just don't pay attention to this little girl for now. It would be good if she really has the ability to surpass me.
