"Haha, of course I won't let you do that. I never force people to do things."

Mann waved his hand.

However, Lucy's expression didn't improve much. After all, given her status, Arakasa wouldn't mind dealing with her while he was dealing with Mann and the others...

"Whatever you want to do, I will assist you."

Mann looked at Silver Wolf seriously, wanting him to make a decision.

However, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey boss, a middleman has arrived and specifically asked to see you."

Rebecca walked into the room somewhat annoyed and said to Mann.

2er『er?mixed with zero?emu?“Middleman?Let him in.”

Mann frowned. Usually, if they wanted to see the middleman, they would go to the afterlife. This time, the middleman actually came to see them, which was quite unusual.

A moment later, a man in a red suit with slicked-back hair walked in from outside.

"Faraday, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Faraday, Mann frowned, his tone slightly impolite.

In typical cyberpunk stories, people are usually very polite to intermediaries, but this doesn't apply to Mann.

As a top-tier team, Mann has no shortage of supplies.

“Mann, there’s something very important I need to talk to you about.”

Faraday stood tall and proud, a hint of arrogance on his face. As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him, his eyes lingering on Mike's face for a moment.

"Everyone here is on our side, so just say what you want. Don't worry about being exposed."

Mann said calmly.

"Then I hope you can bear the consequences."

Faraday said calmly, without dwelling on it, and sat down directly in front of Mann: "Go and capture Tanaka, then use stealth to find out the plan in his mind. After it's done, you can leave Night City and go far away. The reward will be enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your days. How about it?"

"Tanaka? That's a high-ranking official from Arasaka. Faraday, didn't you say before that we shouldn't investigate too much?"

Mann frowned, somewhat annoyed.

In previous collaborations, Mann was somewhat angry that the other party had kept things from him, but now the other party actually wants to take action against Tanaka, a high-ranking executive of Arasaka?

It's important to know that Tanaka holds a very high position. If anything goes wrong, their location could be surrounded by the terrorist mobile unit within ten minutes.

"Answer or not?"

Faraday said somewhat impatiently.

"I need to know some other information. This is a high-ranking member of Arasaka, not some small fry."

Mann stood his ground, staring at Faraday.

Since they've brought this up, we have no choice but to get their consent. Otherwise, if Mann were to leak this information to Arasaka, Faraday would be in serious trouble.

Although Faraday was a big figure, he was insignificant compared to Arasaka, a true giant.

"Don't worry, anyone who dares to attack Arasaka is naturally of the same level. You don't need to know anything else, Mann. Your mission is simple: capture Tanaka, hand over the information in his head to me, and then go far away and live in anonymity with your Dorio."

Faraday narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"So? Do you want to accept? According to the information I have, Tanaka will leave his bodyguards tomorrow and meet with director Jimmy Kurosaki of the Black Mask Dream on his own. This is your chance."

Faraday's eyes held a hint of urgency.

After this incident, he will also receive a generous reward, enough to allow him to achieve a leap in social class.

"Okay, send me the specific information, and leave the rest to us."

Mann nodded.

"*yi together; 1 shirt emu dove two, a wise choice."

Upon hearing this, Faraday's face broke into a smile, along with a look of immense relief and elation.

"I will send you the intelligence on the operation later. I won't bother you now."

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

"Mann, Faraday's arrival at this time is probably a trap..."

After Faraday left, Dorio said with some concern.

"I know this is too much of a coincidence, but Tanaka's position is not low. Would the other party really use the lives of their own executives as bait? Even Tanaka probably doesn't know about this. They really went all out."

Mann pondered for a moment, then looked at the silver wolf beside him: "What do you think?"

"The package is a trap. Although the other party's logic is theoretically consistent and makes sense, I don't believe that such a coincidence exists in the world. However, even if it is a trap, I am prepared to jump in."

"With our firepower, we are absolutely no match for Arasaka."

Mann frowned. Putting everything else aside, the fact that the other side had simply deployed a terrorist mobile unit would have given them a run for their money.

Even the most advanced cyberpunk is powerless against monsters like the Terrorist Mobile Squad, who are covered in military-grade cybernetic implants.

"Don't worry, believe it or not, if the other side really wanted to wipe us out, they would have already sent troops. After all, Faraday's men came to probe earlier and have already seen me."

Silver Wolf said with great interest.

What was Arasaka Yorinobu thinking?

If the other side wanted to, the hovercars would probably have surrounded the bar by now.

This bar is located inside Night City, which is Lai Xuan's territory.

"You mean...the other party is planning something else?"

Mann was talking so hard his head was practically steaming.

"Who knows? We'll only know the specifics after we get involved."

Silver Wolf waved his hand dismissively.

"Since the enemy has already made his name known, let's see what he's up to. Of course, we actually have another way."

"any solution?"

Mann was a little curious.

"Let's storm the Konpei Building. Arasaka Yoriyuki should still be living there. Let's raid his stronghold and capture the leader first!"

"Hmm, it seems like a simple matter... However... that is Lai Xuan's residence, and the upper floors are heavily guarded. It's not easy to rush up there. No, it should be said that there is no possibility of a direct breakthrough."

Weapons are not allowed inside the Glamour Building. If you try to force your way in from the first floor, you'll probably be stopped in the middle before you get very far.

However, if they choose to approach first, all their weapons will be removed. Without weapons, who can break through layers of security to get close to Arasaka Yorinobu?

If one could truly get close, that person would no longer be a legend of Night City, but a god of Night City.

"Don't worry, since this whole thing started because of me, I promise you'll get away unscathed. But if you suffer even the slightest harm, I'll be punished by not playing games for ten...three days!"

Silver Wolf originally wanted to say ten days, but after thinking about it, he realized that ten days was too long. He would go crazy if he didn't play games for ten days!

Silver Wolf (Cyberpunk): 14: Here, I'll give you a bff!

Night fell on the bar's rooftop, where dark clouds hung heavy, and not a single star could be seen in the oppressive sky.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Lucy sat on the roof, her mind blank, lost in thought.

Just then, Silver Wolf sat down next to her.

"Nothing, just looking for stars in Ying O Yin C Abandoned Filth Master IfX."

Lucy seemed a little lost in thought, and gave perfunctory answers to Silver Wolf's questions.

"did you find it?"

"No."

"Hmm...how about I help you find it?"

Silver Wolf hugged his legs, turned his head slightly, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lucy did not answer, but turned her head and stared straight at the silver wolf, as if she wanted to find out more about him.

Is there something strange on my face?

Silver Wolf touched his smooth little face. Hmm, it feels very nice.

"No, I'm just curious why you can remain so calm after knowing that Arasaka is investigating you?"

That's Arasaka, a world-class company.

In this world, no one can defy Arasaka, no one.

"So what should I do? Fall into panic, live in constant fear, and finally surrender with a French salute when Arasaka arrives?"

Silver Wolf tilted his head, a hint of confusion on his face.

"It's not that bad... but that's what the company is watching. If you're not careful, you could fall into their hands and be doomed."

With your abilities, if the company catches you, even dying would be a luxury...

Lucy's eyes were complex, with a hint of worry in them.

That's a company, after all. Even if you have amazing abilities, you can't possibly go against Arasaka. After all, human strength has its limits. No matter how strong an individual is, how can they possibly oppose Arasaka, who controls almost half of the Earth?

"Then let me ask you, since you know the company has such great power, do you think you can escape? If the company wants to, even if you hide underground, the company can still find you. Am I right?"

Silver Wolf countered with a question.

"You're right... but there's no other way but to hide... an individual can't fight against the company..."

Lucy's gaze was deep, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hmm? That's not necessarily true."

Silver Wolf tilted his head slightly, no longer looking at Lucy beside him, but at the sky. It was a dark and windy night, and in the sky, one could vaguely see the churning clouds in the dim light.
