Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 483 96. Politeness

"The Holy Sword of Rayfield, my goodness, that is not something that ordinary people can afford."

Mann had taken off his sunglasses unconsciously, staring at the hovercraft that was parked on the roof, and was amazed.

To be honest, even if Mann sold himself a hundred times, he would never be able to afford this kind of hovercraft.

"What big shot is coming again?"

As a small figure in the transportation and logistics center, Jed has seen too many big shots in the party today. He is now calm and feels that no matter who he meets, he will not be surprised.

Could it be that he met last time, when it seemed that Mr. Kenichi Shiro, Carl's boss, came?

Jed still has a deep impression of that person.

Jed glanced at Johnson.

At the beginning, the four of them had solved a case together. Three of the four people in the case were present, so it didn't seem strange that the last person was Kenichi Shiro.

Compared to Jade, who was guessing who was coming, Blanca had frowned deeply.

She had a very strange premonition, which was very bad, even terrible.

Her heartbeat seemed to speed up, but this speed seemed to remind her something.

"Haruko is here too, she's so slow."

In Maki's muttering that was not heard clearly by the people around, everyone felt the sound of the airship stopping on the roof, and then in the night, two people slowly walked down the glass stairs connecting the flat and the roof on the outer platform.

The two people walked one after the other, and the person walking behind was like the shadow of the person in front, because the person walking in front was so conspicuous, as if her appearance was enough to steal anyone's attention.

And the fact is indeed so.

Almost everyone ignored the person walking behind the two figures, and focused their attention on the person in front, because the appearance of the other person was no less than earth-shattering for most of the people present.

Mann and Brown opened their mouths wide. They were familiar with that face, although they had never expected to meet here.

That was more than a year ago. In the hospital, because Carl was receiving treatment at the time, they had met briefly when the other party issued an order to compensate Carl. However, even if they had not met in the hospital that time, Mann and Brown could recognize who that person was.

That face had long become a household name with television and various video materials.

"This is..."

Blanca was the most shocked person among all the people. She had heard about the mission that Carl was involved in with this person, but she had never thought for a moment that the other person was actually a friend that Carl could invite to his home for Christmas.

This is different from Blanca, who is hard to identify after taking off her military-tech clothes. Even if there is no Arasaka logo on her body, as long as that face appears there and the other person stands there, her words and deeds are the standard of Arasaka, and even more so represent Arasaka.

No one will not recognize her.

"Arasaka."

As an executive of the military-tech company of Arasaka's mortal enemy, Blanca read out the name:

"Haruko."

Arasaka Haruko, the last guest, came with her guard Chiyo.

"What a great person is here."

Kerry looked at Carl.

There is one thing he doesn't understand now.

It's not that he doesn't understand why he, a big shot, is no longer being watched by everyone, but he really doesn't understand it. Carl should be a mercenary, right? Why is a mercenary related to the Arasaka family and become a friend who can be invited? This is too outrageous.

As an old man of the old times, he inexplicably thought of some rumors that were popular on the streets in the past, which might be hearsay.

The relationship between Adam Heavy Hammer and Arasaka's eldest daughter Michiko Arasaka is unclear.

This was just a false urban rumor at the time, and no one really believed it, but now, the real mercenary and Miss Arasaka happened in front of Chris.

"Johnny, if you were still alive and saw this scene, your eyes might be bulging into balls."

In the shock or disbelief of the crowd, Arasaka Haruko had already come down the stairs from the top floor. After the verification door connected to the rooftop terrace was unlocked and opened, Arasaka Haruko walked in slowly.

Her eyes first looked at Carl, then at Maki, and finally swept across the crowd.

"It's an honor to meet you all today. I am Arasaka Haruko."

In the rather formal and polite greeting, Blanca, who felt her eyes sweeping over, clenched her palms.

Blanca felt that when Arasaka Haruko's eyes swept over everyone, they stayed at her position for a moment. This seemed to be just an illusion, but Blanca was sure that this feeling was absolutely correct.

This girl from the Arasaka family knows herself.

Haruko Arasaka certainly knows Blanca.

In other words, she knows every one of Carl's friends, and knows every one of them. She even knows every one of them clearly.

She can call everyone present by name and can easily tell their life stories. Among these people, it is obvious that Ms. Blanca, who comes from military technology, is the one who attracts the attention of Haruko Arasaka. .

However, he only watched for a moment.

It’s not that Haruko Arasaka is arrogant or looks down on Blanca. As long as she is Carl’s friend, Haruko Arasaka is willing to treat her with a gentle attitude. However, if Blanca wants to use the company’s tactics to deal with her, a piece of military technology will do the trick. He is just a high-level person, but in front of Arasaka Haruko, he is nothing.

If Arasaka Haruko was dissatisfied with a person of Blanca's level in Arasaka, it would only be a matter of one sentence, and if it were placed in military technology, it would also be a matter of one sentence.

When facing Haruko's polite greetings, everyone present actually didn't know how to respond to Miss Arasaka. They didn't quite know what attitude they should use. They ignored her identity and responded to the greeting in an ordinary way. Well, it doesn’t seem right, but if you take your identity seriously, it’s even more wrong.

While struggling, this little embarrassment was resolved in Mashi's voice.

"Haruko, you are the only one left to eat the cake."

In Mahi's natural voice, everyone discovered at this time that on the largest specially prepared dining table on the flat floor, Carl and Mahi had already opened the oversized Christmas cake and were ready to start cutting it. In the kitchen In the middle, one of the 'chefs' who was busy before also walked out carrying dishes.

"You must be Haruko. I heard Karl mentioned you. Find a seat and sit down. If you don't mind, you can sit next to me."

Mrs. Wells held Carl’s favorite French fries: “I hope you can get used to what I cook.”

"I heard Carl talk about you, Mrs. Wells, and he said your French fries were delicious."

Haruko nodded politely to Mrs. Wells, and after signaling Chiyo to find a seat, she sat next to Mrs. Wells, and also next to Blanca.
