Chapter 97: Everything has a stance, even the truth!

Regarding the news about the Blue Sky Building, both Leon and Arasaka Yorinobu are trying their best to block the information, with the aim of reducing the heat of this matter as soon as possible.

Lai Xuan needs to eliminate the outside world's doubts and take over the Arasaka Company quickly and smoothly, while Leon also needs to cover for V. The two of them hit it off on this point.

"Jack? Are you saying Jack Wells is still alive?" When V heard the name of his good brother Jack, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Yes, he is still alive. Maybe he is lying in bed right now, eating the corn nuggets that Mrs. Wells made for him, or holding Misty's hand and talking about love."

"V, you and Jack have both been through the gates of hell, but now you are still alive and have agreed to meet in the afterlife bar to toast. Do you believe this is fate?"

Looking at V crying with joy, Leon couldn't help but feel fortunate for the two mercenaries who survived the disaster. It was thanks to Misty that she gave the chip to Jack.

Otherwise, V and Jack will really have to meet again in the next life. We only have one life, and living is always better than dying.

"Thank you, Mr. Leon."

There were slight sobs in V's voice. He knew that if the trauma team had not arrived, what might have been left in the Blue Bi Building that night might have been a lost life and a broken heart.

"I'll save my thanks for later. You owe my LA company a huge sum of money right now. A Chapter 6 prosthetic, plus an AI. Tsk tsk tsk... your life is very precious right now."

"Let alone Adam Hammer, who has a full body of top-notch prosthetics, even if there were ten of him, they would not be able to compare to your prosthetic body."

Li Ang smiled and teased: "V, you are now a legendary mercenary in Night City!"

"Legendary mercenary..."

V shook his head in a helpless smile. At this moment, he could no longer look at the word "legend". If the price of becoming a legend was to become a schizophrenic freak, then he would rather not have it.

But at this point, he no longer has the right to refuse.

"Mr. Leon, can I do something for you now?" V asked.

Victor told him that Leon was a creator who strictly followed the law of equivalent exchange. No one could get anything from him for free. One had to pay a price to get something.

"I don't need you for the time being."

Li Ang waved his hand and said to V:

"After I finish your work, I will take my employees to the Crystal Palace for a week's vacation. As for you... you can use this time to deal with the troubles you have on your hands."

"I don't want you to be busy doing other things when I need you. I don't want to be busy cleaning up your mess."

Li Ang's cool response did not make V feel uncomfortable. After all, he did make LA company spend too many resources on him.

In his heart, V still quite agrees with the rule of "equivalent exchange", otherwise, he would think that Li Ang has ulterior motives.

"Yes, I will take care of my business." V nodded.

"Also, try to adapt to being with Johnny Silverhand during this period. I believe you will get used to this guy soon."

After saying that, Leon couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile. When he thought of Johnny and V bickering with each other, he couldn't help but want to laugh. It was a pity that Otto would have to be a widow for a while. "Uh! Okay, Mr. Leon."

For some reason, V felt that he saw some indescribable "gloating" expression on Leon's face.

Before preparing to undergo the prosthetic implant surgery, V suddenly turned to look at Leon and asked, "Mr. Leon, do you believe that Arasaka Yorinobu killed Saburo?"

As a witness who witnessed the entire process of Lai Xuan murdering his father, V still feels that everything that happened that day was just a nightmare.

But the clear fear and memory were like a tightly wrapped vine, clinging to V's mind. It was impossible for him to forget what happened in the Blue Bi Building.

Quarrel, stranglehold, chaos!
"V, everyone has a stance on everything, even the truth." Li Ang did not refuse to answer the question, but spoke patiently and frankly.

"Now Yoshinobu is an ally of LA Company, so no matter what the truth is, I will say that he did not kill Saburo Arasaka."

"Because I want him to be in control of Arasaka Corporation."

"But if one day he stands against me, I will do whatever it takes to accuse him of killing his father to seize power, even if he didn't kill Saburo."

"So for me, it doesn't matter who killed Saburo. What matters is which version is more favorable to me."

Under V's stunned and shocked gaze, Leon took out the autopsy report of Saburo that Goro Takemura had privately sent to him. The document clearly stated that the cause of death of Saburo Arasaka was: suffocation!
But according to information obtained by outside media, Saburo died of poisoning, not suffocation.

"V, the same answer, when given by different people, is often not convincing enough. Now Goro Takemura is shouting about this document around the world, but no one will listen to him."

"But if I use this to attack Yoshinobu, he will be extremely worried, and the Arasaka board members will not let him off easily."

Li Ang said these words to V simply to tell him a very realistic truth: the truth of the matter has always been in the hands of the top dignitaries.

If you say it is true, then it is true. There is no point in questioning it because no one will believe the words of a lowly person.

After listening to what Li Ang said, V wanted to refute something with his passion, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

V had to admit that what Leon said was right.

In order for the powerful elites to weave lies that convince the public, they only have to open their mouths and talk nonsense, but if ordinary people want to expose the false lies, they often have to pay the price of blood!
But even so, it may be useless in the end, because the general public will still unconditionally believe in the words of the powerful.

"I understand." V's voice sounded a little weak. If they wanted to change all this, perhaps only LA company could do it.

The conversation between the two ended here, and then Leon called Lucy and arranged for V to go to the company's medical room to install the Chapter 6 type prosthetic device.

It was not until he saw V leave the LA company headquarters that Leon finally relaxed completely. This troublesome matter was finally resolved.

The conflict in the Ganbi Building was resolved, and LA Company not only demonstrated its advanced weapons power, but also flexed its muscles in front of global arms dealers.

Having received another award from the Night City City Hall, Mayor Lucius is now planning to build a landmark building for LA Company in the Company Square.

Arasaka Corporation has Arasaka Tower, and LA Corporation should also have its own LA Tower!
