To be honest, after such a long period of contact, Melissa Rory is indeed someone worth making friends with.
Although she acts like a crazy woman during missions and training, she is usually very nice to her subordinates. No matter how big or small the situation is, she will help them.
Especially for David, there is nothing to say.
The debt owed is so great that even giving oneself as a pledge of love may not be enough to repay it.
Even now, I am still helping him find a way to escape.
But this idea was rejected by David.
"No, Captain Melissa, I don't want to do this."
"What did you say?"
Hearing David's answer, Melissa's voice gradually became louder: "David Martinez, you bastard...I can't take this matter for you anymore! I can't even cover for you. If they really find out it's you, even if I have a hundred mouths, it won't be enough to speak for you!"
"Although those maggots up there are fat and bloated, they are not idiots, let alone fools, you know?!"
"I know, I know, Captain Melissa, listen to me, I have a better way, which can not only allow me to successfully escape from the responsibility, but also let Arasaka drink a pot..."
As he spoke of this, a conspiratorial smile gradually emerged on David's face.
As long as he communicates with Melissa, he doesn't believe that Arasaka will not lose everything this time.
-------------------------------------
On the other hand, in the office of Arasaka Tower.
Douglas' eyes glowed orange, as if he was communicating with someone.
But the content of the communication made his brows sometimes frown and sometimes relax.
"Okay, I know."
The communication was hung up, and Douglas slowly said, "The people below have sent the latest intelligence. There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"..."
Kate turned slightly when she heard that and glanced at Douglas out of the corner of her eye.
What the hell is this time? Are you still in the mood to do this?
But after thinking it over carefully, she chose to listen to the bad news first.
"The bad news is that the security forces we sent out were completely wiped out."
"...What's the good news?" Kate asked, trying hard to suppress the urge to beat up this bastard.
"This incident has been identified as a cyber madman case, and the Terrorist Squad has been dispatched to handle it. This is good news, isn't it?"
There was a hint of relief in Douglas' voice.
But after hearing this information, Kate did not feel as relaxed as Douglas. Instead, she became more solemn. She slowly stood up from the expensive chair, stretched out her long legs and walked slowly to Douglas.
"...You think this is good news?"
"I think that's true. At least the guys in the Terrorist Squad are willing to take action. The pressure we face will definitely be less..."
Douglas's voice became weaker and weaker, until he could no longer speak.
Because Kate's face had turned completely dark.
But he rarely meant to blame. Instead, he turned his back to Douglas, looked at the scenery outside the window and said softly:
"This is no longer justifiable in terms of collecting actual combat data."
"That David...we must stop him from making the situation worse."
Otherwise, no matter how many lives they have, they would not be enough to pay the compensation, let alone at this critical juncture.
The reason why she agreed to Faraday's request was because of the big events that were about to happen in Arasaka.
According to intelligence, Arthur Jenkins and their boss V will return to Night City in the near future.
Because of this, she planned to make some contributions to allow herself to succeed in getting promoted before these two people came back to take control of the situation. Otherwise, when V came back, they would no longer have any chance.
But what I didn't expect was that it would cause such a big mess.
Douglas understood this, but the crux of the problem was not here.
"He is a monster now."
A true monster, he rampaged through Night City like a bull, and even the rescue team could not stop him.
"We have no choice now but to wait for the prosthesis to consume him." Douglas offered a solution that was not a solution.
Although everything in the data is still stable now, for the current Night City, or Arasaka, there is no weapon that can deal with such monsters.
"No, there is someone who can stop him."
"Who?"
"Adam Hammer." Kate's lips curved into a beautiful arc, "The killing machine in the Fourth Corporate War, the battlefield meat grinder, the man known as the cybernetic demon."
This was the last line of defense she had prepared long ago.
I didn't want to use it originally, but now it seems I have to.
And after calming down, she figured out that David's target might not be the company.
"What?! Are you serious?!"
Douglas was shocked. This Adam Hammer was basically a synonym for taboo in the company.
As far as he knew, although Adam Hammer's position was not high and compared to them he was just a mercenary hired by Arasaka, only those in the Arasaka family could give orders to Adam Hammer or deal with any important matters.
Can they really mobilize that monster with just their authority?
"Of course, although this is the worst option."
This time, it was Kate's turn to be relaxed.
As long as we have Adam Hammer as our ultimate weapon, what does it matter even if David Martinez is beyond his capabilities?
It's not like we haven't encountered guys like this wearing large mechas before. Military technology has long researched and produced this kind of big bipedal toy, but in the end they were all killed by Adam Hammer.
But even so, Douglas still had some concerns in his heart: "But even if he is summoned..."
"Don't worry." Kate suddenly smiled and said mysteriously: "He's here."
Douglas looked in the direction Kate was looking and saw a guy with cyber-style implants all over his body, sitting on the sofa in the corner, like a robot.
Although the light in the corner was a little dim, one could still see the multiple rocket launcher hanging on the man's shoulder, as well as his matte black paint job. His huge hands hung on his knees, as if they could crush a person's head if they were stretched out.
That is the "DaiOni" power armor produced by Arasaka fifty years ago.
"It's really Adam Hammer..."
Douglas's face was filled with shock.
Yadan Hammer, the legendary manufacturing machine of Night City, the honorary product manager of the Afterlife Nightclub, and the top cooking master of Arasaka, is best at making minced meat, meat patties and ketchup.
The legendary man actually appeared in front of him!
"hehe."
Kate suddenly chuckled. She was very satisfied with Douglas' reaction.
"If I'm not mistaken, David's target is not us, but the traitor Faraday. Moreover, the Cybernetic King Kong was originally prepared for Adam Hammer. It's most appropriate for him to make the decision now."
At this point, Kate's voice suddenly stopped, and she turned around and asked with a smile: "Your opponent is Cyborg, what do you think of this decision? Adam Hammer."
thump—
Adam Hammer slowly stood up from the sofa.
The floor groaned as it was stomped by heavy footsteps.
"If everything is really as the information says, it is worth wasting my time..."
Adam, whose face was left after being altered, made a hoarse sound from his mouth which was sealed by metal.
When he saw the data just now and the moment he saw the steel behemoth, he was indeed excited.
It was like meeting his old rival Morgan Blackhand.
Only guys of this level are worthy of his killing, not those cats and dogs, or the useless cyberpunks wandering the streets.
"Very good, I am glad to see your strong desire to fight, Adam Hammer."
Kate gave a hypocritical compliment, but received no response.
However, she was not angry.
It's just a dog raised by a company. There's no need to be so picky.
He immediately turned around and ordered Douglas, "When Faraday's hovercraft arrives at the dock, you take Adam Hammer there to meet him."
"Shall I go to the meeting?"
There was a hint of surprise and dissatisfaction in Douglas' voice, and he questioned Kate's decision.
"You know what? Someone has to take responsibility for all these losses."
Kate slowly walked up to Douglas and said in a condescending manner, "But that person won't be me, understand?"
"The middleman's contact with the company will stop at the dock. Do you understand?"
Although Kate's voice was soft, there was no attempt to hide the threat in her tone.
If he dared to refuse, he was sure that this crazy woman would order Adam Hammer to kill her on the spot.
Thinking of this, Douglas subconsciously suppressed his saliva, and the crystal sweat that gradually covered his forehead sparkled under the setting sun.
"Ming, understand."
It is true that a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.
He somewhat regretted why he had agreed to this bitch to do something that went against the company's will. If it weren't for Tanaka and this bitch, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Damn you bitch....
86. Raid the hovercraft? No, I want to raid Arasaka Tower! (6K)
"Are you sure this will work?"
"Trust me, Captain Melissa. Leave everything to me."
"...Okay, but you have to remember that if you get into trouble, no one can protect you."
"I see, thank you."
This was the last of their communications.
"You little brat, you have so many tricks up your sleeve..."
After hanging up the phone, a smile inadvertently appeared on Melissa's face, but this smile was malicious and chilling.
It was as if they had just plotted something earth-shattering on the phone.
But this is indeed the case. If David's idea could be realized, he would definitely put all the blame on Arasaka.
At the same time, the roar of the hovercraft's engine gradually weakened, and it slowly fell from the sky, maintaining its position on Mechagodzilla's abdomen.
With a heavy and weathered sound, the matte alloy hatch slowly opened.
However, the scene before them made all the members of the Terrorist Squad breathe slowly.
“This kind of thing…”
Although they were once cyberpsychopaths and had hunted many cyberpsychopaths, and even those wearing mechas, they had seen cyberpsychopaths of this level.
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen it.
Both in terms of size and magnitude, it is completely incomparable to the previous cyber maniacs. The height of nearly ten meters is enough to make them suffer, not to mention the metal shell that looks very sturdy.
Just one look at it and I was shocked.
However, only one person's expression was different from those of these team members and the captains of other groups.
That was Melissa Rory. The moment she saw the mecha, she was eager to try it out. She really wanted to experience the feeling of cutting something like this.
“It will be wonderful...”
