From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

The next second, V moved in front of him, blocking his view.

"That's incredibly disrespectful. Twelve Arasaka agents think they can take us down? I could wipe them all out with a single time stop!"

"I believe you, but you should still be careful. It's easy to kill them all, but it would be troublesome to anger the Arasaka Corporation. Just bear with it a little longer; it's not time to flip the table yet."

Leo stroked her hair to calm V down a bit.

"Then what should we do? Keep going?" Vera slowed down and turned her head to ask.

"Hmm... no need to slow down. The opposing team doesn't have a tough guy like Adam Hammer. If it really comes down to a fight, we'll win decisively. Let's go and have a go at them."

"it is good!"

The vehicle continued forward, passing through two traffic lights before crossing the sea bridge.

This bridge is different from other bridges. In order to enhance wind resistance and stability, it adopts a semi-enclosed bridge structure.

Simply put, a roof was added to the bridge, using composite materials (fiberglass, polyurethane) to withstand extreme corrosive environments.

This makes it feel like driving through a tunnel when vehicles are on this bridge, as the hovercraft has no landing point at all.

The only places where the hovercars can stop are the entrance and the exit, so the ambush locations are naturally marked on the signs.

As the luxurious limousine drove out of the underpass, three Arasaka armored vehicles menacingly surrounded it, blocking the road in a row.

"Temporary inspection, pull over to the side of the road!"

An Arasaka agent leaned out of the window and waved vigorously at them.

Leo looked at them calmly and said disdainfully, "Proceed according to plan. If they dare to make a move, beat them all down, just don't kill them."

"One man is enough!"

Jack grinned maliciously and clenched his huge fist. He could take down kids like this one with a single punch!

The limousine pulled over to the side of the road.

Three armored vehicles immediately followed, one blocking the front, one blocking the back, and another parked on the side, completely blocking the ceremonial vehicle from the roadside.

If Leo and the others wanted to get off the car, they had to walk onto the sidewalk.

Immediately, all twelve agents were deployed to block off the nearby passageways.

Four agents with Japanese-style hairstyles strode in, their faces full of arrogance.

Leo and his group got off the car first, took up advantageous positions, and confronted them.

“Middleman L… Hmph, the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department needs to talk to you. Wait here for a moment.”

The Arasaka agents didn't even draw their weapons; they just stood there casually in front of the group, as if they weren't worried at all that the group would dare to resist.

This is the confidence that being a company employee gives him.

Leo glanced at them indifferently, then focused his attention on the Arasaka hovercar that was landing.

As Pure White said, this hovercar was quite small and had no weapon systems; it was simply a means of transportation.

Buzz—buzz—

The hovercraft slowly descended and finally hovered beside the bridge structure, opening its doors.

The faces of the two women came into view.

The woman on the left is unfamiliar, but she's wearing a pretty little dress. The woman on the right is very familiar; she has a V-shaped face and is wearing a well-fitting Arasaka Corporation uniform.

V and Vera stared wide-eyed.

Even the agents from Arasaka were a little agitated. Before coming, they only knew that the mission was to intercept the recently famous middleman L. They never expected to witness such a bizarre scene.

How come the operations manager of Arasaka Corporation looks so much like those twins in L Squad?

Triplets?

L is not from Kangtao, he is from Arakasa?

ah……?

Suddenly, the lead agent received an order from the operation leader: "Bring L and the twins over. No one else is allowed to move. Remember to lock their cybernetic bodies."

The special agent captain nodded, and his prosthetic eye immediately lit up with a red light.

Leo and others were hacked.

[Warning! Unauthorized access!]

The red warning bar had just appeared when the letters within it twisted and distorted, forming another piece of text.

[Pure White: Don't worry, their hacking skills are a joke to me. I disguised you, making them think I successfully locked the prosthetics, but it had no effect whatsoever.]

After receiving Pure White's assurance and experiencing no discomfort from their prosthetic bodies, the six members of the Immortal Squad pretended to be affected.

Leo put on a show, glaring angrily at the agents: "The call I received was clearly an invitation to talk, is this how you treat your guests!"

The agents were a bit confused, but they just did what their superiors told them to do. What else could they do?

Unable to distinguish friend from foe, they simply kept quiet in the face of Leo and his group's questioning and anger, pretending they hadn't heard a thing.

After confirming that the Immortal Squad's cybernetic bodies were locked, the agents breathed a sigh of relief and silently made way.

“L and the twins go over there, the rest of you wait here.”

The captain relayed what the person in charge of the operation had said.

Leo glared at them fiercely, then led V and Vera toward the hovercar.

Upon getting closer, Leo noticed that the strange woman seemed somewhat afraid. She looked at V with evasive eyes, as if she had something to hide.

Who is this person?

As he was wondering, Company V spoke up: "You can go down now, there aren't enough seats here."

This isn't just idle talk; that hovercar only has four seats, and the remaining area is so cramped that even standing people would feel uncomfortable.

"Oh...oh! Okay, okay!"

The stranger readily agreed, as if the request was exactly what she wanted.

After watching her leave in a few quick steps, Company V pointed to the person next to him and said, "L sit here, and you two sit opposite me. I need to take a good look at you."

Leo walked over without batting an eye.

He has two V's on his side, while the other side only has one, and he also has Pure White Guardian on the network. How could he possibly lose!

The three sat down, and Company V gave an order to close the doors of the hovercar. He then took out a signal jammer that Leo recognized, turned it on, and placed it aside.

"That's fine. The rest of the conversation won't be overheard by anyone."

As she spoke, Company V made a move that made her eyelids twitch wildly—she put her left hand on Leo's shoulder!

But this is by no means a friendly gesture; rather, it's more like taking hostages.

Leo himself didn't have any objections; he just thought that V from the company smelled very clean, as if he hadn't even worn perfume.

Company V carefully observed the two faces opposite her that were so similar to her own, feeling as if she were looking in a mirror. If it weren't for their completely different temperaments, she would have really suspected that they were her clones.

Composing herself, she said coldly, "Tell me, what's going on between you two? Why did you get plastic surgery to look like me? Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"

Upon hearing this, V instantly flew into a rage.

Good... They've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down!

"What nonsense are you spouting! I've looked like this since I was a child! As for you, why did you get plastic surgery to look like me? Let me tell you, I debuted a long time ago, I started as a mercenary five years ago, don't try to impersonate me! Also, V is my code name, I've used it for many years, you're not allowed to call me V!"

V's rapid-fire speech echoed incessantly in the carriage.

Company V shook her ears unhappily, annoyed by her noise: "V... yes, some people have called me that, but after I taught them a lesson, everyone else calls me Miss Valerie. I would never use such a casual code name as V."

She had expected her sarcastic tone to provoke the frantic imposter in front of her, but to her surprise, she laughed instead…

"Well said! I am V! You can just call yourself Valerie!"

grass…

Valerie frowned, wondering why she had such a stupid expression on her face.

Where did this single-celled organism come from? Can't it even tell good from bad?

I can't stand it, my aversion to stupidity is about to kick in...

"It's Valerie. I hope your ears are better than your brain."

This time, even V could tell that her tone was unfriendly.

"Hey, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you? You think I won't strangle you, you imposter!"

"I'm an imposter? Heh..."

Valerie was so angry she laughed.

"I graduated from university at eighteen and was hired by the European branch of Arasaka Corporation without taking an exam. A year later, I was promoted to Class A employee and entered the Special Operations Department. Two years later, I was promoted to management and was responsible for handling important paperwork. Three years later, I was appreciated by the leaders of the Night City branch and was transferred to the Counterintelligence Department, where I was promoted to Operations Manager."

I'm 21 years old. None of the other young masters and ladies on the board of directors have a higher position than me. Am I a fraud? Where do you get the audacity to accuse me, you guy with only an elementary school diploma?

It's reached a red temperature!

Slap someone in the face when you hit them, and insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses. Are you even human?

I can't take it anymore, I'm going to tear her mouth apart!!

"Don't argue... there might be a misunderstanding..."

Vera weakly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Valerie's gaze shifted to her face, and she began to spew venom: "You're even stranger. Street thugs are at least locals of Night City. You, on the other hand, traveled across half of America just to cause me trouble, huh?"

Vera wasn't good at arguing, so she hesitated before taking out her phone and preparing to show the other person her childhood photos: "No, I came here by accident, and I've always looked like this."

She has a good temper, but how can you tell her true nature if she doesn't get angry?

Valerie pressed on: "You're quite easy to talk to, but you look like a middle-aged nanny, the kind who's had several children!"

Get ready for real damage! No woman can withstand it!

Vera was caught off guard. She touched her face and smiled kindly, "Really? I do like children!"

"……what?"

Valerie was dumbfounded.

Ah, something's off about all of them...

Why does a single-celled organism, overflowing with maternal instincts, have to bear her face?

After her spirit father passed away, she would have psychological trauma whenever she looked in the mirror!

Chapter 322 Valerie: "Don't shoot, they're friendly forces!"

Valerie was furious at the thought that it was because of these two eccentric guys' big antics in Night City that she couldn't betray Jenkins and was instead forced to flee with them.

If it weren't for this inexplicable immortality team, with her manipulation, even if she couldn't take over Jenkins' job, she could at least get promoted and be on the fast track to advancement.

But it's too late to say anything now. The Arasaka board of directors is extremely conservative and xenophobic. She's already at a disadvantage because she's not Japanese, and with these questionable "stains," she can forget about ever getting promoted to the position of director.

There's no point in staying in Arasaka any longer...

The culprits were right in front of her, so she wanted to teach them a lesson first and vent her anger before discussing serious matters.

"There's no point in saying more. You two have tarnished my reputation, so you should pay some interest first."

First, she took care of these two uniformed girls, and then let her do whatever she wanted with the guy next to her, L, who clearly wasn't very strong...

Magic Puppet - Obstructs Movement, First Paint Ball ~ Dam - Four (Six) Ba Qi Qi Put People -

what! ?

[Warning! Unauthorized access!]

Counterattack!?

Weren't their prosthetic bodies locked up?

Valerie remained calm under pressure, instantly activating ICE's automatic defense and searching for the source of the attack.

It wasn't these two guys in front of me, nor was it L beside me. The hacker's attack was forwarded from a mid-range machine, and the source was... the Arasaka Flying Car!?

When was it hacked? This piece of junk's firewall is completely useless.

Feeling Valerie's body temperature rise sharply, Leo smiled with pleasure.
