Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 534 147. Goodwill?

"This job is quite simple. To put it simply, there is a prototype technology, a biochip to be exact. The group that seems to be using military technology wants me to get it for them. That's all the mission requirements."

After Dexter DeShawn was sure that his life would not be threatened by the group of people in front of him in the short term, he resumed the demeanor of a middleman negotiating business, or in other words, he intended to show the calm demeanor of a middleman negotiating business in front of Allen and the others.

As he lit up his cigar, he said, "Of course, the ingredients of that thing are not simple. I don't need to explain much. You can all understand that it must be the company's stuff. And the military technology is specifically targeting the company. I don't need to explain it in detail, right?"

"Arasaka."

Dexter DeShawn looked at the handsome young man standing behind Allen's sofa and nodded: "We already know about this. Tell me in detail, Dexter DeShawn."

Already know?

It seems that just like military technology, there are indeed many people eyeing things like Arasaka.

"I think I need to know how much you know."

Dexter DeShawn tried to turn the tables on the group in front of him: "Maybe I can save some unnecessary introductions?"

"That doesn't have to be Mr. Dexter Deshawn."

Allen showed his teeth, and his expression was obviously smiling, but he suddenly gave Dexter DeShawn a very dangerous feeling: "We are happy to listen to anything. After all, details often determine success or failure, right?"

It seems that it is not so easy to get people to talk, and I don’t know which force sent this group of people.

Knowing that Militech was planning to attack Arasaka, and from the looks of it, it was obvious that they knew some details. Could this be another company that wanted to take advantage of both Militech and Arasaka?
Dexter DeShawn's mind quickly flashed through all the famous companies in Night City, big and small. After eliminating the small companies whose main business areas were not here, those that were not powerful enough, and could not withstand the suspicion of Arasaka and Military Technology, only three companies were left in Dexter DeShawn's mind.

Kangtao, Biotechnology, and Yeshi Company.

First of all, Dexter DeShawn ruled out Cantao. The reason is that Cantao's style of doing things has always been neutral. Unless there is a chaotic scene that is worth taking action, according to Cantao's usual style of doing things, it is difficult for them to choose to face two large companies at the same time.

Then biotechnology was ruled out.

Because although the technology involved in this mission is the type that biotechnology has always dreamed of, according to the capabilities of biotechnology, as long as it involves technology such as biochips, it will not be difficult for them to obtain it later. It is just a matter of time.

Although time can often determine many things, facing the two large companies at the same time is obviously not in the interests of this company headquartered in Italy, which knows how to take sides.

Italians are the most proficient in the art of taking sides.

So could it be Ye’s Company, a local company of Night City that almost symbolizes Night City?

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Ye's Company obviously has the capital to do things in its own territory. Few things that happen in Night City can be hidden from Ye's Company, and it has been heard that they have not made any big moves for a long time. Could it be that the people who came this time will be a step for Ye's Company to come back into the public eye?
Dexter DeShawn, who had already equated Allen and his team with the suspected Ye's Company, said after a moment of silence:

"Relic, have you heard of it?"

Before arriving, Allen, who had already learned what this was from his companions, nodded: "A high-tech implant, a prototype of immortality technology, the interface and components of Arasaka's future flagship experimental project "Protect Your Soul". Its function is to convert the data in the human nervous system into a digital imprint and store it as a consciousness, allowing the 'person' to live again at a critical moment."

"Obviously, you know a lot, Mr. Allen." Dexter DeShawn, who discovered that Allen and the others knew a lot, exhaled a puff of smoke, and in the rising white mist, he slowly said:
"This was originally the most secret project of Arasaka. Any person or company that dared to take a peek and tried to get their hands on it would be ruthlessly crushed. However, no matter how strong a fortress is, its center is often the weakest. What Saburo Arasaka guarded so strictly was stolen by his unfilial son Nobuyuki Sei."

Dexter DeShawn did not notice the slight change on the face of the handsome young man behind Allen. He just stared at Allen and continued:

"Arasakase Nobuyuki stole the 'Relic' and was afraid of being discovered by his father, so he fled to Night City in a hurry. Now that thing is in his hands. I think this should also be the purpose of the people behind you."

Obviously, after Alan took the initiative to reveal his knowledge of the secret chip 'Relic', Dexter DeShawn had already confirmed their identities and completely regarded them as personnel sent by a certain force who also had ideas about 'Relic'.

"Technology that can make people immortal is naturally of interest to everyone."

Allen nodded and spoke naturally: "But it would be bad if this technology was always in Arasaka's hands. Isn't it more natural for everyone to share this great technology?"

Obviously, he did not expect to hear such words from Allen. Dexter DeShawn thought about it and understood the meaning of these words as that the company behind Allen did not want Arasaka to monopolize this technology.

If you think about it, you can understand it. They are all big companies. Who would want to be controlled by others? Who knows? The other party might add some stuff to your biochip. If you have the technology, you should develop it yourself.

"Since we all have this intention, we can talk about the plan in detail."

Dexter DeShawn said:
"There are still two days before Watson District is sealed off. Although my current information channel has not told me why Watson District will be sealed off in two days, one thing is certain. The latest time we can take action is the night after tomorrow. If Watson District is sealed off after that day, it will be difficult for us to escape even if we get the 'Relic'. So before that, we have to prepare everything."

"everything?"

"Arasakaze Nobuyuki's whereabouts, and all his 'Relics', where are they hidden?"

Dexter DeShawn said: "No one wants to be in the middle of retrieving something when the owner comes back, and no one wants to search for a long time, so they can only evacuate in a hurry with a ball of air under the alarm."

"Then what do you mean?"

"The group of people from Military Technology are only responsible for the implementation of the plan. They entrusted me with the arrangement of the plan and gave me a considerable commission. Although I don't know if I can spend all the money, my original plan was to hire other mercenaries to help me complete the arrangement of the plan. But now..."

Dexter DeShawn looked at Allen: "You all should have disguised identities. If you are going to do something, I think that identity is very suitable for playing mercenaries to conceal military technology, after all."

"We all have our little secrets."

Allen smiled happily: "What a great middleman, Mr. Dexter DeShawn."

Hiding their identities seemed to be helping them and considering them, but Allen was sure that at the critical moment, Dexter DeShawn would take the initiative to expose their identities to the military technology side and reveal that they belonged to the other force, thus causing a melee between the two sides.

There are very few fools among those who hang around on the streets, let alone those who work as middlemen.

But Allen nodded to Dexter DeShawn's seemingly well-intentioned suggestion.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Dexter DeShawn. Now, tell us about the plans you have prepared."
