Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 277 The overall situation has been decided
"Catch him! There's an assassin!"

Arasaka Yorinobu covered his ears and shouted loudly. Although his face was covered in blood, he didn't look seriously injured. He was still alive and well, and his shouting was full of energy.

This former street kid quickly flipped over the cover and pointed in the direction of Ke Ling, indicating that the assassin was over there.

"Bang bang bang!"

In response, he was fired several shots in succession, forcing Arasaka Yorinobu to lower his head and hide, but he continued to shout.

"Save my father! Catch the assassin! Don't let him get away!"

Arasaka Yorinobu's order was naturally conveyed to Adam Hammer and Goro Takemura, as well as other agents and bodyguards who heard the news from outside.

After being shocked, Adam Hammer and Goro Takemura rushed forward immediately. The two people had different expressions, different goals, and completely different mentalities.

Seeing Saburo Arasaka lying in a pool of blood, Goro Takemura felt numb all over, because unlike Arasaka Yorinobu who seemed to be not seriously injured, Saburo Arasaka was obviously seriously injured, and even... he had lost his life!

"Master Saburo!!!"

What Goro Takemura values ​​most is, of course, the life of Arasaka Saburo. If Arasaka Yorinori dies, then he dies, but Arasaka Saburo cannot die!
But unfortunately, Goro Takemura's prayers did not receive any response, and Arasaka Yorinobu's cry of "Save my father" was naturally impossible to achieve. Arasaka Saburo was already dead and even the medical team did not need to come.

Unlike Goro Takemura, Adam Hammer completely followed the orders of Arasaka Yorinobu. Since Arasaka Yorinobu seemed to have nothing to do, his first task became to catch the assassin.

Adam Hammer was actually quite excited at this time. With the death of Arasaka Saburo, Arasaka Yorinobu, who had the initiative, had a huge advantage and could completely control the overall situation smoothly.

After all, he was assassinated together with Saburo Arasaka. If Saburo Arasaka died directly, then Arasaka Yorinobu could take up the banner of revenge, which is definitely the most politically correct thing in Arasaka.

There are definitely a lot of people who are loyal to Saburo Arasaka personally. In the company's struggle, this group of people has no obvious bias at present, and most of them also have strong military forces. As long as Arasaka Yorinobu holds high the banner of revenge and firmly grasps the righteousness, it is basically within his control to control Arasaka.

If Goro Takemura wasn't here, if there weren't other agents here, Adam Hammer would have wanted to shoot Saburo Arasaka again to make sure the old man was dead!
Of course, if Araita Yoriyuki gave the order, he would kill everyone present without hesitation.

Killing one assassin is killing, killing a group of assassins is also killing. Arasaka Saburo's whereabouts were exposed, and it was obvious that there was an insider helping him! It was also normal for Arasaka Yorinobu to discover the insider and then clean it up.

“Da da da da da!!!”

Adam Hammer fired a burst of bullets, the heavy machine gun in his hand whistling, and the bullets shot towards Ke Ling like a tidal wave.

At this time, Ke Ling had changed into a different appearance. He was dressed in black, his body shape had also changed, and he was wearing a mask on his head, which was a clown mask with its tongue sticking out.

"Arasaka Saburo, you deserve to die, Arasaka Yorinobu, you are lucky."

Ke Ling opened his mouth and then he flashed and jumped out of the luxurious suite in the Ganbi Building amidst the hail of bullets.

"Boom!"

The glass shattered and Ke Ling flew out of the suite. Adam Hammer immediately came to the window and looked outside. Ke Ling's figure was floating in the air with a hang glider spread out behind him. It was obvious that he had already prepared to escape through the window.

"Chase! Chase him! We can't let him get away!"

Arasaka Yorinobu also came to the window. His face looked extremely ugly. He shouted angrily and ordered Adam Hammer and Takemura Goro to lead people to chase.

"Yes!"

Adam Hammer was naturally unambiguous and he immediately took his men away, but it was different for Goro Takemura. He was still immersed in the grief that Saburo Arasaka had actually been stabbed to death.

"Takemura! Act! Do not let my father's killer escape! You have failed in your duty! Now is your chance to make amends!"

Of course, Arasaka Yorinobu could not tolerate this guy continuing to guard Arasaka Saburo's body, because there was something fishy about the body.

"But!"

Takemura Goro's eyes widened as he looked at Arasaka Yorinobu. He was extremely excited and had a lot of doubts in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. He always felt that there were many strange things in it. Why did it end up like this? !
"Takemura! What is your duty?!"

However, Arasaka Yorinobu did not give Goro Takemura a chance to speak. His face was covered in blood and he stared at Goro Takemura angrily.

"Protect the head of the Arasaka family"

Goro Takemura was in a panic, and Arasaka Yorinobu took the lead, so his voice and momentum weakened.

"Don't make me repeat myself for the third time! Go hunt down the murderer!"

Arasaka Yorinobu looked furious, his words were extremely domineering, and it looked like he was going to execute Takemura Goro on the spot if they had a disagreement. The Arasaka agents around him were ready to take action.

Saburo Arasaka died in a miserable way, with multiple bullet wounds all over his body, and his flesh and blood were blurred. As the only male heir, Arasaka Yorinobu naturally had the highest authority here and had the power to command all of them.

These local agents are very familiar with Arasaka Yorinobu. After all, Arasaka Yorinobu is more diligent than Arasaka Saburo.

In fact, since leaving the United States last time, Saburo Arasaka has not set foot on American soil for decades. This is his first time here, and he lost his life here.

"Yes"

Goro Takemura had no choice but to leave Arasaka Saburo's body and go. Even if he had many thoughts in his mind, he was not qualified to say anything at this time. Once Arasaka Saburo died, the identity and status of a person like him would naturally be extremely embarrassing.

However, Goro Takemura never thought about his own future. He only hoped to serve Saburo Arasaka until the last moment. At that time, he would either retire or die with Lord Saburo Arasaka, which would be considered as fulfilling his loyalty.

But now, he absolutely cannot do that, because the death of Lord Arasaka Saburo is unclear! This matter is full of weirdness! Especially this room that has not been checked! To put it bluntly, Takemura Goro is suspicious of Arasaka Yorinobu. Why did Arasaka Yorinobu not get hurt when they were assassinated together? ! He just got his ear scratched by a bullet!

In fact, Arasaka Yorinobu was not hit by just this one bullet. He was also hit by bullets on his body, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest, so the injuries on his body were minimal. However, the weak Arasaka Saburo was not wearing any, so he was directly shot into a sieve by the assassin.

But! Why didn't this assassin prepare armor-piercing bullets when he came to assassinate Saburo Arasaka? Outsiders don't know that Saburo Arasaka doesn't wear bulletproof vests! How could he not even make such preparations? !
The most important thing is that the amount of bleeding is wrong! The blood splatter of Arasaka Saburo-sama is wrong! Takemura Goro knows very well what kind of bleeding should be caused by being beaten like that, but the amount of bleeding of Arasaka Saburo-sama is not like the bleeding of a living person at all!
If Takemura Goro thought about it, he would find too many strange things! This matter must be investigated! We must get to the bottom of it!

Who can help him investigate now? Takemura Goro knows very well that only Miss Arasaka Hanako can do it. Although Miss Arasaka Hanako and Arasaka Yorinobu have always had a good relationship, if it is really Arasaka Yorinobu who assassinated Lord Arasaka Saburo, then Miss Arasaka Hanako will definitely not condone it.

Goro Takemura knew that what Miss Arasaka Hanako valued most was family and clan. She wanted her family to live in harmony and she would absolutely not tolerate Arasaka Yorinobu's act of patricide!
As for the issue of "right or wrong" or "true or false", that is not important to Hanako Arasaka. The only thing she cares about is the Arasaka family itself. Those who died because of Arasaka are not within her consideration. This is why she is supported by conservatives. She does not want change and wants to maintain the status quo.

After being driven out of the Blue Green Building, Goro Takemura and his subordinates who came with him to Night City chased them into a small alley.

He was chasing here with Adam Hammer and the others. A drone was leading the way and continuously transmitting information to them. It seemed that the assassin was unable to get rid of the drone at all.

"Search separately. If there is any news, pass it on immediately. People can die, but the news must be passed on, for the sake of Lord Arasaka Saburo!"

There were nearly a dozen people around Goro Takemura, and it was obviously a bit of a waste to pile them together, so he simply divided them into small groups, with three people in each group searching separately. Even if they encountered a sudden attack, the chances of passing on the message would be greater.

"Yes!"

These agents who can follow Goro Takemura to Night City are naturally all death-defying warriors. Each of them is fearless and brave, and they are all willing to die for Saburo Arasaka.

The most important thing is that they were all kept in captivity by Saburo Arasaka, and it is unlikely that they will be valued and trusted by the next generation.

After searching for a while, Goro Takemura didn't find any clues, which made him feel upset. It seemed like the other party was playing a trick on them.

In fact, if we can catch this assassin, it would be a shortcut to solving the problem. This guy would run away and prepare an escape plan in advance, which means that he should not be a deadly warrior.

If he was a suicide soldier, if he acted decisively, he should have died on the spot. Especially for the planner Arasaka Yorinobu, he would definitely want the assassin to die directly.

"So we can't let Adam Hammer find the person first!"

Goro Takemura was sure that the guy really wanted to kill people to silence them, and he had no intention of leaving anyone alive when he made the move.

"Alas, I like loyal subjects. What a pity."

Goro Takemura had just finished brainstorming, and before he could take any action, his two companions fell to the ground. A figure appeared beside him and let out a sigh.

Goro Takemura was startled and immediately raised his gun and pointed it at Ke Ling. Then he fired two shots without hesitation, hitting Ke Ling's hands and feet.

"Buzz!"

The black shadow jumped up and blocked the bullet, which startled Goro Takemura. Despair appeared in his eyes. Although he had never been to Night City, he was familiar with the legend of Davo Collins.

There was no way. This "undead demon" was too famous. At that time, it was not only popular in Night City, but the whole world was paying attention to it. Otherwise, it would not have brought so much pressure to the biotechnology company.

And knowing Dave Collins meant that Goro Takemura knew very well that it was impossible for him to defeat the monster in front of him.

"Why?! Why did you want to assassinate Lord Saburo?!"

Goro Takemura asked, he wanted to die with a clear mind, and the man now looked like he was ready to die.

"Because he deserves to die, and everyone in the Arasaka family deserves to die. Most importantly, someone paid them to die."

Ke Ling bared his teeth and said something that made Takemura Goro's face turn black. Seeing this guy's expression, Ke Ling smiled even more happily.

On the surface, Goro Takemura looks like he is ready to die bravely, but in fact, he just wants to delay time and leave as much evidence as possible. At this moment, he is recording audio and video and wants to upload the conversation to the Internet. Even if he dies, he wants to die meaningfully and make a contribution to finding out the truth about the death of Lord Arasaka Saburo!
"That's why I said that I like loyal ministers."

Ke Ling shook his head, then swung his hand and chopped. Takemura Goro immediately activated "Sian Westin" to dodge. He didn't even see clearly what was chopped out.

"boom!"

After activating the S'an Westin, Goro Takemura could see clearly that it was actually a crescent moon. The crescent moon whistled out and shattered the wall not far away. Its destructive power was astonishing.

"Yes, you are quite capable to be Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard."

Ke Ling praised it a little, but only a little. After all, the extent that can be achieved by adding prosthetics to the human body is limited. This is completely restricted by the development of technology and one's own talents.

If technology develops to the point where one can really stop time with a single click, and then kill the enemy easily, then one would naturally be invincible. However, the current Sian Westin obviously cannot reach that level, and even the advanced prosthetics used by Arasaka itself cannot do that.

"Pfft!"

Ke Ling did not give Goro Takemura any more chances and directly slashed with his sword. They all had Swanwestin, which were also the latest models used exclusively in Arasaka. Goro Takemura was undoubtedly beheaded by the sword. In Ke Ling's eyes, he was so clumsy and ridiculous.

Goro Takemura must be dealt with. This guy knows too much and is too stubborn. Without him, Arasaka Hanako would not immediately suspect Arasaka Yorinobu. In fact, she is unwilling to believe such a thing.

Looking at the body of Goro Takemura, Ke Ling shook his head and then disappeared into the shadows. Now the matter of Arasaka was settled. If there was no evidence, Arasaka Hanako would not immediately stand against Arasaka Yorinobu just because of "suspicion".

With such a buffer period, and with the full support of Arasaka Michiko, and relying on Arasaka Yorinobu's methods, he is able to completely control the power of Arasaka and eliminate dissidents.
