Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 116 i will be back
Arasaka Yorinobu?

Of course Lu Mingfei knew this name.

——The young master of the Arasaka family is a well-known figure not only in Night City, but also in the whole world.

When he was young, he formed a large group with a group of young men who knew the company very well, and then began to hinder the company's activities around the world.

Of course, almost the entire world has classified them as a terrorist organization.

After years of fighting with the company, the young master chose to return to the Arasaka family after a terrorist attack on Arasaka Tower broke out and his eldest brother committed suicide by disembowelment.

Then, I have been running the family business until now.

He is a magical guy, and is often the subject of gossip among people in Night City. People are curious about why he was willing to throw away the company's inexhaustible wealth to become the leader of a gang when he was a child, and they are also curious about why he suddenly turned over a new leaf.

There is also a conspiracy theory about the death of his eldest brother, which believes that it was Arasaka Saburo's eldest son who oppressed Arasaka Yorinobu, forcing him to run away, and then run back to inherit the family property after his eldest brother died.

It’s called a conspiracy theory, but in fact most people agree with it.

Lu Mingfei was a gossip expert, and he had participated in the discussion, but he didn't think the man was that simple - after all, Lu Mingfei had feelings. If he was really oppressed and suppressed at home, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up, and would only distort himself and turn into a cowardly loser.

Those who dare to run away from home are often those who really have a goal.

But that's not the focus of this topic.

"Arasaka Yorinobu? Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, and Rogge slid his finger and handed a document to Lu Mingfei.

Mission Report 30.1

Lu Mingfei opened it and found some captured pop-up pictures from the Internet, as well as some photos taken from unknown angles. In the center of the photo was a man.

He looks a bit rebellious, is about thirty years old, and fits the image of a dandy boy in film and television works very well.

This is the man I just mentioned - Arasaka Yorinobu.

Lu Mingfei: "Paparazzi?"

"You can think of it that way."

Roger shrugged.

"Someone received intelligence that Arasaka Yorinobu will be visiting Night City soon."

Lu Mingfei: "Hey~ Why is he suddenly interested in coming here? Is his father planning to let him take over Night City's core business?"

Rogge: "That's where intelligence gets interesting."

Rogge laughed and pointed at Lu Mingfei.

"Everyone knows that you, a monster, killed the most powerful dog in Arasaka—and speaking of that, I have to thank you."

When Rogge was young, he had a grudge against Hammer, and this was no secret within the mercenary circle.

No, only a minority of mercenaries have no grudge against Heavy Hammer.

Lu Mingfei's "righteous act" won him a lot of favor in one go.

"Anyway, the fact that you killed Hammer has caused quite a stir even within Arasaka. It's far more influential than the Cybertron experiment going berserk."

"People say there's a dark cloud called [L] hanging over Arasaka Tower right now, and even the higher-ups don't dare visit Night City."

Lu Mingfei just smiled.

Only a fool would take it seriously.

Lu Mingfei is very powerful, and it is indeed awesome that he can defeat Heavy Hammer - but as mentioned at the beginning, Heavy Hammer is just a dog of Arasaka.

Using the remains of the [King of Earth and Mountains] is truly powerful.

Lu Mingfei was rescued after the battle, and there was not even enough time to recover Adam Hammer's body and prosthetic fragments. Although Lu Mingfei was in that state at the time, it was estimated that even if he rested for three days, he might not be able to fight Arasaka Corporation head-on.

This is not a simple 'table world'.

Since it has been confirmed that cyberpunk and dragons are inextricably linked, cyberpunk should also have an inner world similar to the Secret Party.

In this world where even history and the concept of mixed-race people are monopolized.

Lu Mingfei doesn't think that the company's trump card is just a modified form of 'Adam Hammer'.

He never overestimated himself.

Perhaps it was because he saw the calmness in Lu Mingfei's eyes that Rogge stopped joking. "Well, to be honest, we've received news that Arasaka Yorinobu is coming to Night City." "In addition, we've also received news that Arasaka Yorinobu seems to have fallen out with his father during his visit to Night City, and before leaving, he even took away some top-secret Arasaka technology."

Roger tapped his temple.

"Top secret technology [Soul Killer]."

As the queen of the afterlife, she does have channels that others don't know about.

No, it’s not just the channels.

This woman who once fought against Arasaka Tower with Johnny Silverhand may have obtained the "truth" about the Soul Killer directly in that head-on conflict with Arasaka Tower.

"I don't really know much about it, but back then, Johnny Silverhand's girlfriend [Otto Canning] was the inventor of this technology."

"Have you seen the billboards on the roadside, L?"

Rogge randomly sent a screenshot of a street scene. Lu Mingfei thought it had some deep meaning, but he found that there was only a billboard in the center of the picture.

That's an Arasaka ad.

Protect Your Soul

relic
Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of himself and the little devil.

"Although it's advertised as allowing the user to see the spirits of the deceased or protect themselves from harm, it's essentially just [soul cloning]."

"[Otto Kanning] is a genius hacker second only to Bartmos, perhaps even on par with him. She's no longer just a legendary or extraordinary being. She truly and truly proved and reproduced the formula for 'the existence and digitization of the soul' on her own."

"It's said that Arasaka Yorinobu brought a sample of this technology with him, but we don't know Arasaka Yorinobu's arrival time or how to deliver the technology. We're starting from scratch, and if we do that, we'll also offend Young Master Arasaka."

"How about it, are you interested?"

Lu Mingfei: "."

It's a truly incredible task.

Lu Mingfei had a premonition that this mission would involve a lot of trouble.

And just like what Rogge said, 'This time it's not a small thing like Cyborg.'

If Arasaka is angered, Lu Mingfei will have to fight against the company on his own. Referring to the corporate wars recorded in history books, Lu Mingfei felt goosebumps all over his body.

but.
Lu Mingfei: "Sorry, give me some time, I need to discuss this with my partner."

Roger: "Of course, of course~"

Rogge waved his hand. "Don't get me wrong. I know this mission is difficult, and I don't have to accept it. It's just that you're the only one I can find in all of Night City."

"To investigate Lai Xuan, you'd need a deep understanding of the company and exceptional technical and intellectual abilities. Only you and the V in your team can do this."

Rogge's tone was still a bit strange when he mentioned V, with his voice fluctuating up and down, like he was being sarcastic.

However, what Rogge didn't know was that what Lu Mingfei meant by "discuss it" was just a delaying tactic.

Jack and V would almost certainly agree.

The former only wanted to stand out from the crowd, while V also had his own ambitions. The only difference between them was that the former would open his mouth and yell "Fuck him!", while V would pretend to be calm and think for a while before saying "Fuck him" with a sneer.

When Lu Mingfei said to give him some time, he really meant to give him some time to himself.

because
【00:02:23】

His time here is almost over.

[I'll finish this mission next time I come.]

After saying goodbye to Roger and leaving the bar, and greeting V and Jack, Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to go to Victor's place.

Even if you have become a big shot now, it is natural to respect your elders.

However, perhaps because the news of Lu Mingfei and Victor's good relationship leaked out through some channel, more people came to the clinic than before.

Lu Mingfei simply said goodbye to Victor.

then
【00:00:00】

A new story begins.
