Chapter 72 Raising a son to provide for old age? Raising a son to take over another's body!

[No, Mr. Lai Xuan, our LA company has no intention of making enemies with any company. On the contrary, I hope to establish a firm alliance with you.]

Le Ang knew very well what Arasaka Yoshinobu needed at the moment. What he wanted was not money, but sufficiently strong external support to help him seize power in the company.

Today, LA company is world-leading in both its armed forces and its AI technology on the Internet.

In other words, the conditions that the Internet monitor can give to Arasaka Yorinobu, his LA company can also give them, or even give more!
Seeing Arasaka Yorinobu's hesitation, Leon struck while the iron was hot and continued:
[Now that the trauma team and military technology have joined the ranks of the winners, do you intend to follow your dead brother and watch the decaying Arasaka go to destruction together? ]

As expected, as soon as Li Ang said this, Arasaka Yoshinobu's emotions fluctuated. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't compare Arasaka Kei to me, he's nothing!"

"He's just my father's follower."

Arasaka Kei is the half-brother of Arasaka Yorinobu, but the two do not have a good relationship because Yorinobu looks down on Arasaka Kei's old-fashioned style of being loyal to his father's outdated ideas.

In his opinion, if Arasaka Corporation continues to be ruled by his father Saburo and his elder brother Kei Arasaka, it will be doomed sooner or later!
[Mr. Lai Xuan, do you know why your father went to so much trouble to obtain the soul killer technology? Do you know who the Relic chip will be used on in the end? ]

Li Ang smiled, and his words were like an invisible tentacle that suddenly grabbed Lai Xuan's heart. [Arasaka Saburo wants to use the Relic chip to achieve immortality, and you are the best shell. ]

The moment the words fell, Arasaka Yorinobu felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. The shock in his heart caused his brain nerves to beat wildly.

An unprecedented chill and fear, like dense lice, engulfed him from head to toe!

Arasaka Yorinobu thought that his father Saburo might be planning to achieve digital immortality with the help of chips, but he never expected that his father would plan to use his own body to complete the horrific "possession"!
"You...what the hell are you talking about?!" Arasaka Yorinobu's lips were trembling uncontrollably.

This absurd but true conspiracy theory was like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart. Once planted, it was difficult to eliminate the influence of suspicion.

Although Arasaka Yorinobu tried his best to restrain himself from believing Leon's lies, the survival instinct engraved in his genes forced him to carefully consider the truthfulness of this statement.

[Isn't it true that you know better than anyone why the Steel Dragon Gang and Arasaka's security forces have been fighting for so long, with countless gang members killed and injured, but you are not hurt at all.]

[Do you think this is a heartwarming family drama about a loving father and a filial son? No, what Arasaka Saburo values ​​is your young and strong body. He is just afraid of hurting his new body! ]

[Otherwise, do you think your father would let you do what you want and join the company's senior management to share power and authority? He also gave you the Relic chip project, which he regarded as his second life.]

[Ms. Hanako and Ms. Michiko, both of them are more obedient and sensible than you, but they can't enjoy the same treatment as you. ]

"Fuck! Shut up! I won't believe your instigation. You just want to stir up internal strife in our Arasaka family!"

The broken Arasaka Yorinobu roared at the "Xu Shiming" in front of him with bared teeth. If Li Ang himself was not here, he really wanted to draw his gun and shoot this company dog.

[It seems that you already have the answer in your heart. ]

Li Ang did not argue with Arasaka Yorinobu about whether this matter was true or not. He just told him Saburo's real purpose. As for whether Yorinobu believed it or not, it was none of his business.

However, Arasaka Yorinobu couldn't afford to take the risk, because he had no right to make mistakes. [Our LA company can provide you with the strongest off-site firepower support. You don't have to worry about the family's security force. We can also provide you with the power-grabbing assistance you need! ]

[Mr. Arasaka Yorinobu, answer me, have you decided to join the ranks of the winners, or will you continue to be angry and allow Arasaka Saburo to complete the possession and continue your Arasaka Empire? ]

Leon's way of speaking was so strong and decisive, as if there was a continuous barrage of information, frantically bombarding Arasaka Yoshinobu's brain.

Arasaka Yorinobu simply couldn't spare the extra time to think through the problem. He could only follow his instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm and make the choice that best suited his own interests.

Cooperating with LA Company and taking over Arasaka Company by force seems to be his only way out!

At this moment, Arasaka Yorinobu knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the network monitors to provide him with sufficiently strong armed support.

It is even hard to say whether those European financial groups will stab him in the back and suddenly join his father Saburo's army.

After all, it is not the first or second time that Europeans have been two-faced. Once the benefits are given, they will even sell out their own people. Arasaka Yorinobu must be on guard against them doing so.

"Fuck... that old man is not really going to use the Relic chip on me, damn it!"

Arasaka Yorinobu silently cursed his father Saburo in his heart. It turned out that this was the meaning of "raising sons to provide for old age" of the Arasaka family.

Raising a son to provide for old age? Raising a son to take over another's body!

At this moment, a deep feeling of powerlessness rose from Lai Xuan's heart. He knew very well what Li Ang's real purpose was, but he had to follow the route designated by the other party.

Because he has no choice at all!

"Mr. Li Ang, I can give you the Relic chip and agree to cooperate with you, but you have to tell me..."

Arasaka Yorinobu raised his head and stared at "Xu Shiming" with blue eyes, and asked word by word: "What is your real purpose in wanting this chip?"

"Do you also wish to be immortal like my father?"

Facing Lai Xuan's questioning, Li Ang did not intend to hide it from him and directly stated his true intentions:
[My friend Johnny Silverhand was used by your father as a test subject for the Relic Project. Now his consciousness is in that chip. I need to rescue him.]

"Johnny Silverhand? Oh... I know this guy." Arasaka Yorinobu remembered the promotional picture of the Samurai band he saw on the poster.

"He's just a terrifying thug who ran to Arasaka Tower to plant a bomb. Haha. I originally thought he was a rock star who dared to resist the company, but now it seems that he is just a complete idiot!"

Arasaka Yorinobu showed disdain on his face. If blowing up the Arasaka Tower could really stop his father Saburo's ambition, then the nuclear warhead dropped by military technology should have succeeded long ago.

What era is this? Why are there still brainless idiots clamoring to blow up Arasaka Tower every day? What's the point of sending themselves to die in vain!
