Cyberpunk: 2075

"This job was done well. The goods have been picked up at the location and confirmed to be correct. We are very satisfied. The final payment has been paid. We look forward to the next cooperation, Mr. KK."

Looking at the message sent by the client on the phone, Carl was about to reply with a next cooperation, but suddenly found that the other party's contact account had been cancelled.

It's really efficient. The account was cancelled as soon as the final payment was paid.

"How is it, the money has arrived?"

Sitting next to Carl, V looked at the Laisheng Bar where they were now, and after making sure that no one was monitoring their conversation, he asked: "What did the employer say?"

"They said we did a good job and look forward to the next cooperation, and then cancelled the account."

Carl put down the phone: "The money has been transferred to you. As for this employer, I guess the next contact will be in a mysterious way."

"I don't know if this employer is really a military technology person as he said, or from another company...'

Oliver drank beer on the side: "But the money has been paid enough, and I'm too lazy to pursue it."

"It's better not to delve into this kind of thing. We are just working for others, and we don't have time to worry about all kinds of things for them.

Jack was sitting next to Oliver, drinking beer, and looking at Laisheng: "Why are there so few customers in Laisheng today? There are not many familiar faces. Has anything happened in the city during this period of time?

"I don't know, just ask Claire."

Oliver said, waving to Claire who was leaning on the bar with one hand and seemed to be chatting with a man: "Claire,

Can you come over and chat if you are free?"

"Oliver?"

Claire stopped chatting with the man in front of him, looked over after hearing the voice, and after finding that it was Oliver who called him, he said a few words to the man he was chatting with and walked over: "Why, do you want me to serve you some more wine?"

"No, I haven't finished the wine yet."

Oliver raised his glass and gestured, and said: "It's just that we recently took a job and left Night City for a while. What happened in the city? Why are there so few people? "

"If you want to talk about what happened, there is some news in the city recently, but I don't know what the reason is. After all, it's not easy for me, a bartender, to inquire about the private work of mercenaries, but I can tell you about the news. "

"What's the new news?"

"There are a few that I think are relatively important."

Claire thought for a while and said, "I heard that in the Bad Land, Adecado, a tribe of wanderers, and the night walkers have clashed. The two sides have been fighting fiercely recently. Maybe mercenaries are needed to help. Then, the Tiger Claw Gang recently took over a new leader, who is said to be a person from the company."

"The people of Adecado clashed with the night walkers?"

As a former wanderer, V is more concerned about this, while Jack and Oliver, as city people, are more concerned about the new leader of the Tiger Claw Gang:

"This is the nth leader of the Tiger Claw Gang in the past two years. They really change leaders as diligently as changing shoes."

"Any other news? "

Carl felt that Claire had not finished speaking, so he continued to ask.

"There is another piece of news that is relatively important, but it may not be related to mercenaries."

"Important news?"

Carl was a little curious: "What is that? It can't be news like the mayor's sudden death. If that's the case, the whole Night City would have spread it long ago."

"Compared to the news of the mayor's sudden death, it may be more important."

Claire said, lowering her voice: "I heard that Arasaka Nobuo came to Night City."

"Who?"

Jack, who was listening nearby, didn't quite hear what Claire said for a while, and asked: "Arasaka what?"

"Arasaka Nobuo."

"The only male heir of Arasaka now, the Arasaka boy who was born to revolt against his father?"

Jack heard it clearly this time, but he was very surprised by the news: "Why doesn't he stay in Japan? Why does he want to come to Night City? Could it be that he wants to pay tribute to his elder brother Arasaka Kei who died here? ”

“Who knows? How can we street people know about the affairs of the upper class? And I only heard this news from a group of corporate dogs. As for whether Arasakase Nobuo really came to Night City, no one knows. ”

Claire waved her hand: "Anyway, that's the news. If you want to order some wine, call me again. I will continue to talk to my husband about racing."

“Okay."

Oliver nodded and watched Claire walk back to the waiting men over there, then retracted his gaze and asked his companions: "What do you think about this matter?"

“Arasakase Nobuo came to Night City?"

V asked. He still knew the famous Arasakase Nobuo: "What can we do about the affairs of an Arasaka young man? We can only stare at it with our eyes open."

“What are you talking about, captain of the second combat team, you are a member of Arasaka, how can you not care about such things?"

“What are you talking about, Mr. Oliver, who is just a team member. "

After hitting back directly, V looked at Carl. Everyone in the team knew a little about Carl's involvement with Miss Arasaka, so he asked, "Carl, what do you think?"

"Similarly, use two eyes to see. "

Carl took a sip of sweet tea and spread his hands: "Arasakase Nobu is not my relative, I can't see him whenever I want, I can only watch him, and Claire also said that this news is just a rumor, we don't know whether it is true or not, what does it have to do with us."

"Is that so?"

Oliver scratched his golden hair, which was still a little damp after taking a shower in the city: "I'm just thinking, there are not many mercenaries in the next life now, have they received any work, if possible, can we also take some work to do."

"We just finished our mission today, when did you become so diligent, Oliver."

As Carl was talking, a new message came on his mobile phone.

The special reminder sound attracted the attention of several people in the team.

"It seems that it is not unexpected."

Oliver shrugged and looked at Jack: "I bet, if it wasn't that Miss Arasaka, it was either Kenichi Shiro or Kenichi Kazuya."

"I think so too, there is no need to bet."

Jack looked at Carl: "Let's see what the job is, Carl, I guess we can meet many colleagues and familiar faces this time."

"I don't know what it is."

Will Arasaka Nobuyuki come to Night City?

Carl didn't know, but he seemed to be in the vortex of being affected.

Because the name of the letter displayed on the opened mobile phone was Kenichi Shiro.
