Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 543 156. You Stay
Saburo Arasaka.

Carl already knew a lot about him before, but it was the first time he saw him in person.

As for Carl's first impression of Saburo Arasaka, it was that he was old.

The wrinkled skin, obvious age spots on the face, and the skin that drooped slightly from the cheeks like firewood made it look like a walking mummy at first glance.

Of course, Carl had to admit that his first impression was biased.

Because in fact, Saburo Arasaka has an entire medical team taking care of his body, and every part and every organ of his body is being paid attention to by more than ten professional doctors at all times. The mental state Saburo Arasaka actually shows is that he can obviously live for another ten years, and the gaze in his eyes is as sharp as a blade, but Carl just can't get rid of this prejudice.

It would be strange to expect Carl, a remnant of a militarist who almost committed seppuku during World War II, to be free of prejudice.

Even if he lived in the past, the era he lived in was several generations away from these militarists. It was a sign of Carl's good character that he didn't feel sick after just one look at them.

Carl never has any different thoughts about people because of their nationality, just like he can become friends with Oliver, an old American who wears the Stars and Stripes, and he can also become friends with Arasakase Nobuo, a Japanese. He never cares about nationality, but he cares about a person's consciousness.

Saburo Arasaka is undoubtedly the most old-fashioned and disgusting scum to Carl.

Carl just glanced at Saburo Arasaka twice and then looked away.

Compared to Saburo Arasaka, it was Goro Takemura's aura that Carl was more concerned about at this time.

Unlike when they met on the Moby Dick, Carl could clearly feel that Goro Takemura was in a state of high alert now. His prosthetics had obviously been activated. Every gesture gave people a sense of almost fatal threat. As soon as Carl glanced over, he was noticed by Goro Takemura.

When he looked back, his prosthetic eye flashed red, revealing a deadly threatening look. Carl felt as if a cold blade was attached to his neck. If he moved even the slightest, the blade would pierce into his neck.

'Isn't this exciting?'

Carl felt as if all the pores on his body dilated in an instant. Just by being stared at by Goro Takemura, he felt his body instinctively mobilized and he was ready to fight at any time.

"If I take action directly at this time, can I defeat Takemura Goro?"

After Carl made a judgment in his heart, he got the answer.

"It is impossible to determine the winner in such a short period of time, unless V and the others attack together, but that would make too much noise."

So, give up the idea of ​​a surprise attack and follow Lai Xuan's plan.

Karl's slightly tense body relaxed instantly.

In Goro Takemura's sight, Carl was nervous for just a moment, then gave up his fighting stance, and then when he looked at him, he even smiled.

Smile?

Goro Takemura accompanied Saburo Arasaka this time and was already prepared to bring the matter to justice, so his body was always in combat mode.

In the sky not far from the Blue Green Building, there were eight hovercrafts parked, each with five members of the Hundred Ninja Team sitting in it.

If Carl and his group of mercenaries hired by Arasaka Nobuyuki plan to take action, Goro Takemura can call for support at the first opportunity.

All of Goro Takemura's prosthetic bodies are configured to protect Saburo Arasaka. He is confident that he can resist the attack of Carl and others on his own in a short period of time.

However, despite his deliberate provocation with a dangerous look, Carl only instinctively guarded himself for a moment, showing a hint of fighting intention for a moment, and then regained his composure.

This action, which seemed like an instinctive precaution and then giving up, made Goro Takemura very confused and puzzled.

Why is this? Could it be that Arasakaze Nobuyuki, the thief who stole Saburo-sama's important items, was frightened and dared not resist?

Or did the KK team feel intimidated by the appearance of Saburo-sama and decide not to continue the mission of protecting Arasakase Nobuyuki? When Takemura Goro was puzzled, Saburo Arasaka spoke after going downstairs and looking at Arasakase Nobuyuki.

There was an air of unquestionable in his voice: "Let's talk alone."

Hearing this, Arasaka Nobuyuki and Carl and the others did not react. Takemura Goro had already turned his head sharply. He glanced at Arasaka Nobuyuki and said hesitantly: "Arasaka-sama, but..."

“This is my son.”

After Arasaka Saburo said this, Takemura Goro hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you need me to recycle the things this time?"

"Leave it to me, you can go now."

"Yes."

Faced with Saburo Arasaka's order, Goro Takemura had no choice but to obey. He looked at Arasaka Nobuobu again, bowed 90 degrees to Saburo Arasaka, and then went to the elevator in the room.

He already knew the environment of the entire suite before he came. It can be said that he was almost as familiar with it as the people living in the suite. Naturally, he would have no problem finding the elevator that was visible at a glance.

Goro Takemura stood at the door of the elevator. Carl and the others looked at each other and then looked at Arasakase Nobuyuki.

Arasakase Nobuyuki, who was sitting, also turned his head and looked at Carl and the others.

Both sides looked at each other.

Arasakaze Nobuyuki nodded slightly.

"You guys go away too, leave the rest to me."

Without saying much, Arasakase Nobuyuki made his meaning known to Carl and the others through his gaze.

Next, it will be up to him to face Saburo Arasaka.

This was originally the planned plan, so there was naturally nothing to object to.

V nodded, put his hand on the end of the hilt of the samurai sword at his waist, and took action first. He walked to the side of Goro Takemura and looked at him calmly, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Obviously, he planned to take the elevator down with Goro Takemura, and keep a close eye on Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard along the way.

V's actions were coordinated by Jack and Oliver. With the cooperation of Jack on the left, Goro Takemura on the right, and behind, he was vaguely trapped between them.

It was at this time that Goro Takemura placed his hands slightly on his waist.

Both sides are wary of each other.

After V and the others moved, Carl also stood up and prepared to walk towards the elevator to go down together, but just after he took a step, a voice called him.

That was the voice from Saburo Arasaka.

"You stay."

The words were very calm, but the name that followed made Carl stop in his tracks.

"Karl."

It's not the mercenary KK, but Carl.
