Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 523 136. Opponent?

"Control Sei Xuan and wait for me to arrive"

Listening to Arasakase Nobuo explain the meaning contained in the code symbols, Carl thought for a moment.

This order was undoubtedly issued by someone higher up, and it seemed that the person who issued this message would be coming to Night City soon.

濑宣
There are only a few people in Japan who directly addressed Nobuaki Sei by name and are qualified to issue orders of this level.

In other words, there are not many people in Arasaka who are powerful enough to give such an order.

Considering that the use of code symbols is an old-fashioned nostalgic confidentiality method similar to that used in World War II, it is easy to tell who issued this order.

"Arasaka Saburo, are you coming to Night City?"

The Emperor of Arasaka, the helmsman of the Arasaka Group who was born in 1919 and has lived to be 158 years old, is preparing to come to Night City in person.

“This is really great news.”

Carl looked at Arasaka Nobuyuki who seemed to be thinking about something and said, "If he comes, then most of the Arasaka family members will be gathered in Night City. Except for Arasaka Hanako who we don't know if will come, this should be considered a party."

Listening to Karl's words, Arasakase Nobuo glanced at him and said, "A gathering where people stab you in the back will shorten your life every time you attend it. According to your bodyguard duties, you will have to go with them when the time comes."

"I'm already 82 years old, do you still think my life is short?"

Carl looked at Arasakaze Nobuyuki and said, "But I hope nothing bad will happen at the party."

"Then I might have to give you more money."

Arasakase Nobuyuki's words made the other members of Carl's team look thoughtful.

When do I need to pay more?

One is when the difficulty is too great and the employer feels embarrassed and has to pay you more to get you to do a better job; the other is when the task is beyond the scope and you have to do more work.

Although Arasakase Nobuyuki has not stated the reason clearly now, his intention to increase the money is very clear. No matter what the reason is, what is going to happen is already destined.

"More money?"

Oliver muttered the word.

"Then it seems we have to prepare in advance."

Jack nodded.

"Arasaka elites from Japan, the people around Arasaka Saburo, the 100-man ninja team?"

V showed a hint of excitement on his face: "I've heard of them before, but I hadn't joined the team at that time, so I had never met them before and I didn't know what their level was."

"You want to give it a try when you meet a strong opponent, V, your desire to fight is too strong."

Carl seemed to be sighing a little, but as for the reason.
"I've always thought you guys would be worried, but I didn't expect you all to get so excited. Is it necessary to be so happy when fighting with others?"

Having said that, Carl himself also felt eager to try.

The member of the Hundred Ninja Team he met at the beginning was just a discarded person. Carl didn't even have any involvement in his death. He didn't even know the strength of the real guards around the Arasaka 'Emperor'.

Carl's impression of the 100 Ninjas actually came from two people. One was Chiyo.
Kenichi Shiro once said that if it weren't for Chiyome's background problem, she could have become a member of the Hundred Ninja Group.

The second place is Goro Takemura.

Carl heard from Haruko that after training by Arasaka, he was supposed to become a member of the 100-man Ninja Group, but later he was selected because of his outstanding performance and became Saburo Arasaka's bodyguard.

Needless to say, the strength of these two people can be regarded as the top five masters among the people Carl has ever met. If the strength of these two people is taken as a constant, then the strength possessed by the 100-man Ninja Group will be terrifying.

Just thinking about a hundred Chiyo women becoming his opponents made Carl feel a little tingling on his scalp.

It seems reasonable that Saburo Arasaka has so many strong people around him.

But Carl thought again of the member of the Hundred Ninja Group who had left the Group and was later eliminated by the Brown and Mann teams.

The member of the 100-man Ninja Group was chased by Chiyo and had no way out. His strength was far inferior to Chiyo's, and he was easily killed by Brown and Mann together. If we judge by the level of the 100-man Ninja Group,
It seems that the 100-man ninja team is not that good again.

Considering that the member of the 100-man Ninja Team was a dispatched personnel, his level must not be bad among the 100-man Ninja Team, otherwise he would not be able to undertake the mission. If he can represent the average level, or even above the average level
Carl's brows, which had been furrowed when he thought about the strength of Chiyome and Takemura Goro, relaxed again.

I should change my mindset.

Chiyome and Takemura Goro cannot represent the strength of the 100 Ninja Group. Rather, it is the fact that they cannot become part of the 100 Ninja Group due to various factors that proves their excellence.

One was a former bodyguard of Michiko Arasaka, who later became Haruko's bodyguard, and the other was Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard. The abilities represented by the two of them should be above the level of the large team of the Hundred Ninja Team. The member of the Hundred Ninja Team at that time was the level that a true Hundred Ninja Team should have.

If we judge the 100 Ninja Team only by that guy's level,
Carl's mind flashed with the video footage transmitted by Mann and Brown after they finished their work, and he made a judgment in his heart.

that's it.

I can only say that.

It can’t be said to be bad, but it’s definitely not to the point where Carl feels it’s difficult.

If everyone is at this level, then a hundred people combined would be no more than this.

Carl is confident that he can resist or even resolve the situation with his team.

Of course, we can't say that there are no masters in the 100-man ninja group. In order to avoid the existence of many high-level ninjas in it, Carl will have to prepare well in the next few days.

At the very least, you have to adapt to the access warehouse and get used to the feeling of being able to predict the future.

While Carl was thinking, Arasakase Nobuyuki had finished packing the laptop. It was obvious that he was going to take it back to study it carefully. Jack and the others searched the Tiger Claw Gang member's apartment and took away some of his valuable belongings.

As for why they only took the money and not other valuable items.
This is because the only valuable items the Tiger Claw Gang has are vehicles, prosthetic bodies, and houses.

The house cannot be taken away, and this Japanese person has no special prosthetics on his body at all.

Because the keys of high-end vehicles are bound to people, data intrusion is required to clean the identity, and it is too troublesome to go to the basement to complete verification before driving away. At this time, you can only take some valuables.

After everyone had packed up, Carl spoke up: “We should go.”

He could already hear the sirens approaching.
