"I'm very sorry. As you may have heard, your son Katsuo Tanaka has passed away. This news was sent from NCPD and has been confirmed by the trauma team."

"No way, my son was just discharged from the hospital yesterday, how could he die today?!!!"

The flesh on Tanaka's face was trembling slightly, and his hands were clenched and kneading his palms tightly, like a crawling monster, leaving hideous blood marks on his palms.

"You lied to me!"

He really wanted to shout this, but he opened his mouth countless times and never said it.

Because trauma teams don’t lie.

Since the news has been confirmed over there, it means his son is really dead.

What's more, Marcus had no reason to lie to him, there was no benefit at all, and the consequences of lying to him were generally very tragic (Tokyo Bay Warning).

Just like that, Tanaka stood there, looking down at the table, his body trembling for a long time.

After a while, the anger in his heart was finally suppressed temporarily. He sat back on the sofa with a plop, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years.

Tanaka felt as if the whole world had lost its color and turned black and white. Those lost colors turned into sharp swords that pierced through his heart.

It hurts, it really hurts so much.

I have lost my son forever, and everything is in despair.

At his age, it was not easy for him to have a son, so he doted on this son and hoped that he would inherit his position when he grew up.

But now...

He really couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen, such a tragedy would befall him.

My son was alive and kicking yesterday, but he died today...

With trembling hands, he tried to take off the sunglasses on his nose, but after searching for a long time he failed, so he gave up the idea.

But from beginning to end, not a single tear was shed, because the company didn't need tears.

The fingers of both hands were crossed to support his chin, looking like Commander Ikari, with shadows covering half of his face and his sunglasses reflecting a strange light.

"Marcus, my son...how did he die?"

Marcus directly told Tanaka the report sent by NCPD and called up a picture.

But now Marcus also felt his scalp tingling.

Although I didn't see Tanaka's appearance at the moment, his emotionless and cold voice was particularly scary.

This was the first time he saw such a terrifying side of his boss.

But when he finished speaking, and the picture froze on the moment when the military-tech transport vehicle Behemoth hit Tanaka Katsuo, a chill ran up his spine.

A chill seemed to pass through the signal and come over here, and even the temperature of the air dropped.

Tanaka naturally knew what his son was like. He liked to race cars on weekdays and was a typical playboy.

But with his father looking after him, he is doing well in Night City.

At least no one dared to move.

But now...

"Marcus, have you found any information about this transporter?"

"Yes..."

Marcus held the PDA in trembling hands and quickly zoomed in on the surveillance video.

There were two half-naked men on the vehicle.

"It's the Animal Gang. They hijacked a military technology vehicle. It seems to be loaded with experimental military supplies."

It’s the Animal Gang again!

I remember that last time it was the Animal Gang that attacked the company’s vehicles, and now it’s them again this time!

Creak, creak——

The hands under the nose clenched involuntarily.

When I looked at the tragic scene of my son's death, it turned into ketchup stuck on the wall...

The flame of anger gradually spread in his heart, burning fiercely with the pain of losing his son as fuel. The heat in his heart made it difficult for him to breathe.

Marcus on the other end of the communication naturally heard Tanaka's heavy breathing, but now he didn't know what to say, let alone what tone to use to comfort him.

All I can say is: "Please accept my condolences."

Condolences?

Haha, he knows everything in his life except what it means to accept condolences!

"Send out the Arasaka security forces to kill these bastards!"

"But..." Marcus' voice was hesitant.

Arasaka's security team cannot be mobilized at will. If you are not careful, your opponent may catch you, or the fifth corporate war may begin.

What's more, at this moment, Tanaka's rationality was obviously burned by anger.

"No buts! I will bear any consequences..."

Before Tanaka could finish his words, a phone call suddenly came in.

Seeing the contact person above, Tanaka frowned slightly, and even his voice became calm.

"Okay, Marcus, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't want to see any more news about the Animal Gang in Night City tomorrow."

Before Marcus could make any response, Tanaka hung up the call and answered another one.

Marcus, sitting in the small office, looked at the hung up phone in confusion.

He didn't expect his boss to hang up the phone so easily.

I haven't made any mental preparations here yet!

But what can we do?

A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death...

Marcus shook his head helplessly.

So, he began to contact Arasaka's security department and conveyed Tanaka's order word for word.

At this point, he can only follow Tanaka's orders. At worst, he can just put all the blame on Tanaka.

And silently pray in my heart that V or Arthur Jenkins or Director Abernathy of the counterintelligence department...

Anyone is fine, as long as one comes back!

Now, they are the only ones who can suppress Tanaka.

As for Tanaka...

"I understand, let's get over it."

After listening to the story on the other end of the phone, he hung up.

The content was also very simple. The person who just called was Jimmy Kurosaki, who said that there was a new Mewtwo that he could recommend to him.

And now, Tian Zhong has no place to vent his anger, so using this Mewtwo to vent his anger is the most suitable...

58. Jimmy Kurosaki and Tanaka Muzan (6K)

"David, are you okay?"

Lucy patted his back gently, her eyes full of worry, completely lacking her usual calmness.

Since last night, Lucy has changed a lot, so little that even she hasn't noticed.

I became very nervous about David, fearing that I might lose him at any time.

At this time, they had already arrived at the storage room of Jimmy's Black Mewtwo Studio. The shelves behind him were filled with various Black Mewtwo related to Cybermaniac.

For some enthusiasts, this place is heaven.

"I'm fine... I just need to relax a little bit."

David sat on the iron barrel and gently rubbed his temples. He still hadn't recovered from the EMP shock just now.

But there's nothing he can do about it, since he's the closest to the opponent.

He was almost at zero distance from the detonation point, and the fact that he did not faint on the spot was a sign of his strong will.

It’s also fortunate that there was no hacker modification, otherwise the outcome would have been even worse.

On the other side, Jimmy, who was sitting in a chair under strict supervision, was communicating with Tanaka.

Qi Wei, who was standing by, had orange light flashing in her eyes. If this guy made the slightest movement, she would upload the puppet on the spot and burn the bastard's head to pieces.

But now it seems that Jimmy's call should have ended.

"How about it?"

"Tanaka said he was on his way."

"Very good." Mann nodded with satisfaction and then gave Lucy and Qiwei a look.

The two of them immediately understood and left the warehouse.

The two of them were going to prepare protective measures, such as adding jammers or something, to prevent the NCPD or the trauma team from getting involved.

"David, be careful."

Before leaving, Lucy did not forget to give some advice.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." David forced a smile.

My head feels dizzy and uncomfortable...

"Then I'll leave this place to you. Don't let him out of your sight, kid." Mann patted his shoulder gently, took out another inhibitor and pressed it on his arm, making a comfortable sound.

"Okay, leave it to me."

After seeing that he was fine, Mann left the warehouse.

The room fell silent again.

However, Jimmy's calm yet somewhat creepy eyes kept staring at him.

"What? Are there flowers on my face?"

"No, sorry about that."

"Oh? I didn't expect someone like you to apologize, but you don't seem to be sincere." David spread his hands with a disdainful smile on his face.

Although it is true that this guy was apologizing, he had a disgusting smile on his face, which made people want to slam their sandbag-sized fists into that damn face.

In order to prevent himself from being unable to suppress the impulse in his heart, he slowly stood up and walked to the shelf behind him to browse casually.

“Do you like my work?”

This guy seems to have nothing to do and always wants to find some topics to talk about.

"No, I have no interest in the head of a cyber madman." After taking a look at the Black Super Dream, he put it back.

While looking at the next person, he changed the subject: "But I'm curious, you really don't do anything tricky."

There was some emotion in his voice.

It was obvious what he meant, referring to the small toys hidden in the corner of the studio - two drones produced by military technology and a pterodactyl the size of a briefcase.

Although that thing is just a toy for David himself, it is a considerable threat to their Mann team.

Especially for the two hackers Lucy and Qiwei, the military-grade ICE wrapped around them would take a long time to break through, which was enough to beat them into pieces.

"Well, I understand the cyberpunk style, and I don't have any other choice, right?"

"Heh, I didn't expect you to cherish your life, you cunning bastard."

"Of course I want to meet more cyber maniacs. That's the best feeling."

Not only did he not refute David's sneer and disdain, but he accepted it calmly.

However, the next second, he suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Just like you, I am also very interested in you."

"I?"
