Chapter 12: Secrets
If you're looking for a decent deal in Westbrook, head to a pachinko shop on Twist Street. The owner of the shop is a middleman named Kazuko Okada. There were many rumors about her past, and her many dead husbands, but no one had the courage to ask her about it. Maybe she didn't kill people, but the important thing is that they are all dead, but she is still alive and well, and she is getting richer and more powerful.
All the leading characters in Night City dare not disrespect Wakako. Meeting her is like being in a cage with a lioness. That's right, this is a well-mannered lioness. In the more than half a year that Alan has lived in Westbrook, he has been introduced to this Wakako, and when they first met, Kazuko gave him the feeling that "this old lady is not simple, and there is a strong sense of oppression hidden under her kind eyebrows." ”
Alan parked his car on the side of Twisted Street and walked alone through the bustling street where there was a delicious Japanese restaurant with sushi rice balls made by the chef to suit Alain's taste.
Alan bought a box of sushi and went to the pachinko restaurant, where the sound of marbles kept ringing. After passing through the pachinko hall, behind the door is the Wakako's reception room.
Alan came uninvited, sat in front of Kazuko, and said hello with a smile, "Hey, Kazuko-san, long time no see, I brought sushi today, please eat it." ”
Wakako put on her glasses, looked at the person carefully, and then said with a kind face: "Oops... Isn't this Alan, who else but you will be idle to see me, an old man. ”
"After all, in the past six months, I have received a lot of care from you, should I visit your old man once in a while?"
With a disdainful expression, Kazuko said, "Okay, you kid won't be polite, just say it, what's the matter?" ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from your old man's eyes, that's the case, I want to inquire about something from you. Night City is back tonight with a member of the Arasaka family, do you have any insider information about this person? ”
"A member of the Arasaka family? You're going to give me a problem, stinky boy. ”
"Please."
After a phone call with Kako, a document was sent to Alan's private mailbox.
"Alright, the information has been sent to you. See for yourself. ”
"I don't know if you've heard of Michiko Arasaka, Saburo's granddaughter, and Kei Arasaka's daughter. He is now a member of the board of directors of Arasaka Corporation and the founder of Dangerous Girl Corporation. Michiko Arasaka leads the doves of the Arasaka Company, a faction that unites those who seek further and deeper reforms. Although the current influence is not enough, there is a growing voice among some politicians and media celebrities to support them. But these were all a year ago, since Saburo came back from the dead with his son's body, there are no so-called three major factions in the Arasaka company, and only Saburo's loyal dog is left in the company. ”
"Saburo's dictatorship, is Michiko planning to surrender to this?"
"On the surface, she must have surrendered to his grandfather Saburo Arasaka, but behind the scenes, it is certainly not, and it is rumored that she has a young adopted daughter named Arasaka Tsuki. For her private adoption, Saburo doesn't seem to object, but a tacit attitude, and gradually the family recognizes Yue's status. ”
"Interesting, I thought that an old antique like Saburo would never be allowed."
Maybe it's because of a little guilt for his son Kei Arasaka, who knows. In short, there are not many people left in the Arasaka family, and Hanako is far away at the headquarters in Tokyo, so it's probably Michiko or Moon who will appear tonight. ”
"Okay, thank you Wakako, the information you gave is very useful, I'll go first, this sushi will be delivered to you, you're welcome."
After saying goodbye to Wakako, Ellen heads to a clothing store called Jinguji Temple, where he needs to buy a suitable evening dress for tonight's dinner.
"Hi Zane, I need an evening dress, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zane, the waiter at the front desk, looked Alan up and down, and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, I promise you are the most handsome one tonight." ”
"I advise you to go the elegant route, and this plain black suit dress is perfect for you, and the best part is that it is even bulletproof. Underneath, I recommend you choose this carbon textile silk shirt with this dark red tie, which is simply the best combination. ”
"Okay, just listen to you, choose this, I'll install it."

The security guards at the door are on standby, strictly checking every guest, for fear of another accident.
Security guard: "Welcome to the Kambi Building, please line up and pass through in turn." ”
Ailan looked around boredly in the queue, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, "What a coincidence, Ailan-kun, I thought you wouldn't come on vacation, but I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really glad." ”
Alan looked back and saw that it was Miss Ryoko Sato, who was in the same department, "Miss Ryoko, I'm really lucky to meet you, you are very beautiful tonight." ”
Ryoko Sato is Japanese, from Kyoto, and is also a wealthy lady in the local area, and entered the Arasaka company at a young age, responsible for the technical development of the scientific research department, she came half a year earlier than Ailan, and is considered a senior in the company, Liangzi has always had a good impression of Ailan, and often provides him with technical support at work.
Ryoko wore a white evening dress tonight, looking very elegant and pure, as pure and solemn as a blooming lily.
Ryoko smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, Ailan-kun is also very handsome tonight, you should be from Jingu Temple, the latest model in their store, it is very suitable for you!" ”
Security guard: "Next, please come up and get checked." ”
Seeing yourself; "Miss Ryoko, let's go in and talk again, I'll go through the security check first."
"Well, no problem, then you go in first, I'll be here later."
