Chapter 513 126 That's Not Bad Either
Chapter 513 126. That’s not bad either
The time is thirteen forty.
There are still twenty minutes before the arrival time agreed with Nobu Arasaka, but as a professional team, Carl and the others are already waiting at the port.
For escort missions, you have to come in early to leave a good impression on the employer. Keep in mind, what if the employer is fired one minute before picking up the mission? As long as the reward is enough, Team KK does not mind working overtime. Hour by hour.
Team KK stood openly and openly at the port, which naturally attracted the attention of some Arasaka personnel. However, after those Arasaka personnel received orders from their superiors to hand over the port dispatching work to robots, Team KK received significantly less attention. .
As for why there are fewer rather than none, it can only be said that there is still a lot of surveillance in places like ports. The departure of personnel does not mean that they will leave just because they peep.
However, this kind of natural peeking was not taken too seriously by the members of the KK team. They were now more concerned about whether the person to be escorted, Nobu Arasaka, would be late.
"Still no reply?"
Jack asked Karl, who was staring at his phone: "There is less than half an hour left. He still hasn't responded to the message you sent an hour ago. Something must not have happened while crossing the Pacific."
"It's possible if you take a boat. After all, there are all kinds of automatic torpedoes scattered in the Pacific Ocean. I heard that some are controlled by AI. But if you come by a floating vehicle, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Karl was not very sure when he said: "It couldn't be that the fuel was insufficient and the plane crashed in mid-air. That would feel like a joke from hell."
"The nominal next helmsman of Arasaka Company cannot be fished out in the Pacific because of a float vehicle accident and crash. This does sound like a hell and a joke."
Oliver shook his head: "But it's better not to encounter something like this with Senobu. He has a pretty good personality. If something like this happens, it would be better to let that guy Saburo Arasaka replace him."
"Is this a judgment from an old Stars and Stripes man with pure American blood?"
"Still leaving America aside, there is no old America anymore, there is only a new America with terrible military technology. I am from Night City."
Oliver complained about Karl: "And you are still talking about me. Your nominal identity is also the son of the dog of Contao Company. Your identity is also weird."
"One code equals one code."
As Karl was talking, he noticed that his phone was showing messages.
Arasaka Nobu sent a message: "I will arrive earlier than scheduled. Are you already at the port?"
"I've seen your floating car, Mr. Senobu."
Karl stared at the float car flying slowly towards the port in the sky and checked the time.
13:50, ten minutes earlier than scheduled.
The float vehicle quickly stopped in front of Carl and the others, and as the door slid open, Carl and the others walked out of it.
Nobu Arasaka got out of the car carrying what looked like a suitcase.
suitcase?
wrong.
After taking another look, Karl corrected his judgment.
As he watched, the box in Nobu Arasaka's hand was more like a piece of equipment than some kind of suitcase containing his clothes. Carl could hear a slight sound of mechanical operation. Listening carefully, it seemed like there was something... The thermostatic device regulates the temperature in the suitcase.
‘Could it be that there are living things inside this thing? ’
Karl guessed in his mind.
Judging from the size of this box, the things that can be accommodated should not be large. If there is a living animal in it, judging from the size, it should be something like a rabbit, chicken, or at most a large lizard.
Is it a chicken?
Smuggling chicken into Night City?
Carl was amused by his own wonderful thoughts.
Although the law of Night City does not allow poultry, as the hawkish helmsman of the Arasaka Company, Nobu Arasaka came all the way here, carrying a box with him, just to smuggle a chicken. There is a sense of wonder like an emperor using a golden hoe.
But if it is really chicken, then it must be a very delicious chicken. Could it be that Sze Nobu learned the lesson from last time and brought his own ingredients?
For a whole chicken, if you want to cook it, should you boil it or stew it? Considering the environment on the top floor, roasting is not impossible.
Karl's mind was extremely active because of the installation of the new access warehouse, and it may take some time to adapt to this aspect.
After getting off the float vehicle, Nobu Arasaka didn't chat with Carl and the others for too long. He only briefly confirmed that Carl and the others were indeed themselves and not military technology agents pretending to be agents. He then signaled for Carl and the others to lead the way. He was going to take Carl Their car headed to Chambi Building.
"Why not take this floating car?"
Carl looked at the aerial vehicle that was automatically controlled and slowly lifted into the air after Nobu Arasaka left. He couldn't understand why Arasaka nobu left the aerial vehicle unused.
"The car will start its return trip and crash in the Pacific Ocean on the way."
Please...you...collect 6...books...!
Nobu Arasaka looked at the floating car that had started to turn around and start again. He just said what happened to the floating car, but did not explain why he did this.
Karl did not ask further questions, but just nodded: "I see, but if I had known earlier that you would take our car, Mr. Senobu, I would have sent the floating car."
Amid the surveillance of Arasaka Port, which was still watching, a group of five people began to slowly walk outside the Arasaka seaside area, and their journey was watched, and reports were started layer by layer, until the report arrived at what is now the night city of Arasaka. In the hands of the tower's controller, Michiko Arasaka.
At this time, Michiko Arasaka was busy handling affairs in Arasaka Tower. When she saw the message, she simply told her subordinates that she already knew it and put it aside.
According to the information she had, the reason why Nobu Arasaka came to Night City was very clear.
Previously, he was defeated in a battle involving him and Saburo Arasaka's forces on the main island of Japan, and his forces suffered heavy losses.
If he continued to stay in Japan, he might face the danger of assassination, so he fled to Night City for temporary refuge.
Regarding this matter, Michiko Arasaka had already received news of Nobu Arasaka's request for help in advance, and gained a lot of benefits from this request. Since she had gotten what she wanted, Michiko Arasaka did not mind Nobu Arasaka's request. arrival.
In the internal struggle, Nobu Arasaka was suppressed many times by Saburo Arasaka with his experienced and skillful skills, but Nobu Arasaka could come back again and again every time. This was the case when he left Arasaka, and it is the same now in Arasaka. It's not anything special.
After all, as long as Saburo Arasaka is still alive, Nobu Arasaka's struggles seem to fail again and again. In Michiko Arasaka's view, this is just another cycle.
Compared to the matter between Saburo Arasaka and Nobu Arasaka, Michiko Arasaka is more concerned about her daughter.
My daughter seems to have more and more people supporting her.
but
Michiko Arasaka looked at the cake on her table.
Her cake skills are getting better and better.
That.
Just don't pay attention to this little girl for the time being. If she really has the ability to surpass him, that would be great.
