Chapter 37 Saburo's Mission
"What are you arguing about? I'm trying to find a solution!" Wu Dong shouted in frustration.
According to reports from gang members, Royce and Doom most likely escaped on their own, leaving only the bodies of other thugs at the crime scene.
As for whether Lucius will regard the Triad as the murderer who assassinated him, it is really hard to say!
"Those cyber maniacs in the Whirlpool Gang are really incapable of achieving anything, and are always more likely to cause trouble!"
Wu Dong was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could find someone to deal with Royce and Doom immediately.
Be it killing to silence the witness or destroying the bridge after crossing it, he just wants to protect himself now and doesn't want to get into trouble.
Wu Dong had originally discussed with Congressman Wilton Holt that as long as Lucius was dealt with, the Tiger Claw Gang would be allowed to do whatever they wanted in the Watson District, except infringing on the interests of the company.
But now, not only did they fail to kill Lucius, they also allowed LA Company to take advantage of the situation and took over the Watson District with ease.
The most powerful Chinese company in Night City has joined forces with the largest Chinese gang. This scene is scary just to think about!
"This matter...is not easy to handle."
Wu Dong pondered for a long time but still couldn't find any solution. It would be good enough if the Tiger Claw Gang could not be implicated.
"Hehe, if you lead your team over now to kill that fat guy Lucius, maybe you'll still be in time." Jotaro said sarcastically in a cold tone.
He also has a large number of illegal industries in the Kabuki District, such as the Phoenix Casino. There are more than a dozen workshops for producing Black Mewtwo alone. Now all these industrial areas are finished, and Jotaro has returned to the pre-liberation era overnight.
"Only you can come up with such a stupid idea as to ask the Uzumaki Gang to assassinate Lucius and put the blame on the Triad. You are really smart!"
At this moment, Jotaro just wanted to add insult to injury and criticize Taketo from beginning to end.
"Fuck! Shut your stinky mouth!"
Hearing Jotaro's aggressive words, Takeshi became furious. He pulled out his pistol angrily and pressed it against the other's chin.
"If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I will fucking kill you. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself!"
When Jotaro Masahiro felt the cold touch of the pistol, he immediately shut his mouth and winked at Hiromi Sato frantically.
He was really afraid that Wu Dong would pull the trigger if they disagreed.
But in the face of the quarrel between Jotaro and Takeo, Sato Hiromi remained calm and as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Immediately, Sato Hiromi put down the teacup in her hand and said to the two men, "Have you had enough of the trouble? If you really want to use knives and guns, get out and don't dirty my sofa."
"Boss, do you have any solution?"
Wu Dong retracted the gun, looked at Sato Hiromi and asked.
At this point, they can only pin their hopes on the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang. Otherwise, they will have to temporarily leave Night City and return to Tokyo to avoid the limelight.
"No."
Sato Hiromi shook her head. "Things have reached a point where they can't be reversed. Not to mention me, even if someone from Arasaka Corporation comes, there's no way we can take back the Kabuki District."
Hiromi Sato is not talking nonsense. In fact, Arasaka Corporation is under considerable pressure in Night City. After all, there is more than one giant company here.
If Arasaka dares to step forward and ask District Chief Lucius for territory, he will definitely be sanctioned by Ye's Company and other companies.
Now that LA Company has taken root in the Watson District and has taken the initiative to invest in building a new Watson, this is definitely something that Ye's Company would like to see.
"We have almost figured out the true situation of LA Company. Li Ang cannot be from Military Technology. The background of this company is most likely Far East China." Sato Hiromi turned off the TV, looked serious and said in a low voice: "The spy planted by Arasaka in Military Technology has given us confirmed news. Military Technology does not have any information about LA Company."
As soon as the words fell, Takeshi and Jotaro were stunned for a moment.
It is somewhat unbelievable that a new company that sprang up in Watson District in just a few months does not belong to any giant corporate power!
"We should have realized this long ago. LA Company is a giant enterprise built by China with the whole country's strength. Now we will never get the Kabuki District back."
Jotaro was disheartened.
The game of chess and struggle between companies is not something a small person like me can get involved in.
While you can still escape safely, leave quickly to save your life!
If the LA company finds out that the mastermind behind the assassination of Senator Lucius is the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, they will be completely finished.
"Boss, let's buy tickets and return to Tokyo now, so we can stay away from this troubled place, lest the LA company come and cause trouble for us!"
Jotaro said as he prepared to get up and book a ticket.
"Why panic?"
Before Jotaro could wake up from his daze, Sato Hiromi said slowly: "The company has a new task for us now."
"If this matter is handled well, not to mention the loss of the Kabuki District, even if the assassination attempt on Lucius fails, it will be nothing more than a small matter!"
Hearing this, Wu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that his big brother would not just sit here and wait for death calmly as if nothing had happened.
It turns out that Hiromi Sato had already received instructions from within the company!
Knowing that he could continue to enjoy the upper-class life here without leaving Night City, Jotaro immediately asked excitedly, "What mission? Is it difficult?"
“It’s not difficult to say, but it’s not easy to say either.”
Sato Hiromi deliberately kept the secret, which made Jotaro anxious. He couldn't help but say, "Boss, stop making fun of us and tell us about this mission!"
Wu Dong on the side seemed to be thinking about something.
To be able to accomplish such a great feat by ignoring the loss of the Kabuki District and the failure of the assassination attempt on Lucius, the mission must have been very difficult.
If you’re not careful, you might lose your life!
"This is a mission personally assigned by Lord Saburo. We must succeed and not fail. Otherwise, we will end up working as laborers in Qianye City for the rest of our lives!"
Even though Jotaro and Taketo had already prepared themselves mentally, they were stunned when they heard that this job was a task personally assigned by Lord Saburo.
The Lord Saburo that Sato Hiromi mentioned is none other than the founder of Arasaka Corporation, the "old emperor" who controls the lives and deaths of millions of people, Saburo Arasaka!
"Sama...Saburo? Are you sure?"
Taketo was stunned with shock, while Jotaro was so stunned that his whole body stiffened. They could not imagine that they would have such an honorable moment to work for Saburo Arasaka.
In the minds of the Tiger Claw Gang leaders, Saburo Arasaka is the elusive Japanese emperor. After all, he is the most powerful figure in the world today.
His every move is enough to affect the whole world!
