In the morning, the high-rise office of Arasaka Tower.

It's more like a private living room than an office.

The door opened automatically, and an obese figure walked in, and at the same time, the intelligent AI set up in the room also sounded.

"Good morning, and welcome back, Mr. Madridn."

Without saying a word, the middle-aged man, known as Madridan, walked to the side of the coffee machine, and after picking up a hot cup of coffee, he sat down on the soft sofa in front of his computer desk.

"Whew~Whew~"

Madrid Ann blew on her steaming coffee and took a sip.

At this time, the knock on the door also sounded just right.

"Come in."

"Good morning, Mr. Madridan, greetings to you."

"It's you, Andrei."

The middle-aged man with a distorted figure looked at the person who appeared at the door, it was his subordinate Andre.

The trademark yellow hair also hung down, and Andre bowed as he greeted Madrid.

"How's it going, is there any progress in matters of Sirzati?" Madrid asked as he put down his coffee cup.

"We've tried a lot, and that bastard still won't make the information public."

"Yes." Madrid's expression was as calm as water, which he had obviously expected, and he asked:

"So where is the team in charge of Plan B?"

"I'm sorry about this, but we still haven't been able to make effective progress, his brain's defenses are very difficult and will start self-destructing if he detects any attack that wants to break through."

"What a bunch of shit!"

The absence of good news on either side made the man finally a little nervous.

But he simply scolded lightly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Madridan, but that defense system is also the work of high-level people in military technology, and we're too-"

"Okay, no need to explain." Madrid Ann raised a hand to stop Andre.

"I didn't expect it, that bastard only went on a business trip before, and he colluded with military technology, and he was relieved to let them transform himself."

Madrian leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"That's his loss, Mr. Madridan, we could have become masters of this world together, but he somehow gave up this precious opportunity."

"Alright, Andre, the previous failures are in the past, the important thing is the present and the future, I remember you have a mission in Westbrook today, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, sir, this time it will be good news."

Madrid Ann turned his head and squinted at Andre.

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

————————————

On the other side of Night City, Shirahoshi also set off from home early.

In order to understand the trouble as soon as possible, he did not choose the subway, but called a taxi from Delaman.

"Welcome to Delaman Taxi, it's a pleasure to serve you."

As soon as he sat down, the screen in front of his seat lit up, and a blue bald head appeared on the screen.

"Allow me to recommend a service package to you—"

"Delaman, I don't need anything, and I won't buy anything, go Westbrook." Shirahoshi interrupted him directly.

"Okay, we're heading to Westbrook."

Just then, a phone call came in.

Shirahoshi glanced at the caller ID, it was Mann's, and he chose to connect.

"Yo, Shirahoshi, what are you doing, hurry up and meet at the next life bar, we have a new mission."

Without waiting for Shirahoshi to say anything, Mann first explained the specific information of the mission to himself.

"This time it's to steal the navigation data of a Arasaka vehicle, it's very simple, I've done so many high-risk missions before, it's time to do a simple task to adjust."

"And the rough plan is already there, but we have to discuss the details in detail."

“……”

"What's wrong? Shirahoshi, why don't you speak? ”

Shirahoshi is in a depressed dilemma.

After a long silence, he made a choice.

Take a deep breath, then sigh.

"I'm sorry, Mann, there's a little bit of something going on today, so-"

"Ah, that's it, I understand, you can rest assured to deal with your own affairs, anyway, it's a simple errand, and there won't be any big moths, but the reward for this commission won't be your share, right?"

"It's okay, Mann." Shirahoshi lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"Well, so be it, next time we'll talk, Shirahoshi."

Mann hung up the phone and said helplessly to everyone in the private room: "Shirahoshi seems to have his own business, and he can't come." ”

"Eh, that's really incomprehensible."

Rebecca's face was deflated, her mouth pursed, and she said with an unhappy face.

"I don't know if that's how you use it." David, who was sitting next to him, immediately complained.

"You know the." Rebecca shot back, "Didn't this mission just to take care of that guy's not so good physical condition that I specially chose a commission that didn't require high-intensity combat, but that guy couldn't say anything-"

"Understand, after all, everyone has their own life." Sasha sat on the side and crossed Jiro's legs, her slender thighs overlapping.

Lucy and Qi Wei leaned against the walls on both sides, looking up at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

——————————

I'm sorry, guys, but when I settle this matter, I'll be able to completely excuse the restraints over there.

The more bland this thing ends, the better, so that it doesn't affect anyone.

With this in mind, Shirahoshi got out of the car at the place Darth had given him, and from here he could see the so-called high-class club at a glance.

"Sorry, please show proof or we won't be able to let you in."

As soon as Shirahoshi approached, he was stopped by the black-suited bodyguard at the entrance of the high-end club.

"Well, I'm just looking, you know, some curiosity." Shirahoshi spread his hands, indicating that he was just a completely harmless passerby.

"Hey, I want to come too." The bodyguard immediately mocked disdainfully, "How can a poor person like you get a pass to our club?" ”

Bai Xing, who was playing haha, retreated step by step, and he retreated all the way to the roadside stall opposite to buy a snack.

He chewed on the hot bun and slipped into the side alley when a doorway bodyguard couldn't notice.

The reason why he went in directly through the main entrance without stopping was because he didn't know the specific situation inside, and it would not be good if he rushed in and was caught by a camera hidden in a dark corner.

In a place like this, there are always ladders and doors on both sides of the place where people can enter and exit.

This is a fact that Shirahoshi discovered during his week-long wanderings in Night City, where people would sometimes open the door and smoke a cigarette and throw away a few used condoms or something.
