The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 222
The deformed and scrapped warhead was lightly thrown by Li Ang and spun out as if it had been reborn.

Others in the living room only heard a roar in their ears, and the bullet had penetrated Alex's thigh, leaving a smoking hole in the wall behind her.

Warm blood flowed out from the wound, and Alex realized it later and fell to the ground holding his injured leg and wailing.

Li De's eyes were full of horror, which was beyond his understanding.

V frowned, feeling a little unbearable, but thinking that the other party had fired first, she felt that it was too cheap for her to only hurt one leg.

The ghost dog who was on guard outside heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door. As soon as he came in, he saw Alex rolling on the ground.

"Sir, this..." He froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Li Ang, who was as steady as a mountain, moved his fingers: "Take the person down, don't let her die."

"Yes!" The ghost dog grabbed Alex's good leg and dragged her out forcefully, leaving a long blood trail on the floor.

As the door closed again, silence fell into the living room, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

Li De is a smart man. He can survive to this day not only because of his good skills, but also his brain that works fast enough. Although he can't guess Li Ang's purpose for the time being, judging from the other party's behavior of attacking Alex first , obviously wanting to give him a blow.

He thought for a moment and said, "This gentleman, I."

Li Ang raised his hand and interrupted him: "V, go get Mr. Solomon a glass of wine. You have to travel so far to come from the city center. You must be very thirsty, right?"

"How are you doing, Mr. Dyno? How is the bar business?"

The seemingly ordinary inquiry made Li De break into a cold sweat.

Daino Tinovich, a middleman in the downtown area, had been working as a ringboy in the bar owned by this person during the past few years.

Only he himself knew about this, not even his direct leader Miles.

When things have reached the current stage, Li De already understands that he, Miles, and even the new American and military technology behind them have encountered an extremely difficult and mysterious enemy.

I don’t know where he comes from, I don’t know what he is doing, everything is unknown.

Fortunately, Li De adjusted his mentality in time and found a way to save the president no matter what.

While the agents were planning a rescue plan, Li Ang took the wine that V had just poured.

He tapped his fingertips on the rim of the cup, and a drop of blood that seemed to be wrapped in blazing flames fell into the amber liquid.

It floats eerily quietly in the cup, never showing any sign of dispersing, and is as crystal clear as a top-grade ruby.

"Drink it and I'll let you see Miles."

Li Ang made no secret and told the agent clearly that I had drugged the wine.

But Li De had no choice but to drink the glass of blood wine just like Han Sen did.

It seems that his and Han Sen's fates are somewhat similar.

They were all treated as outcasts by the new United States led by Miles because of the Unification War seven years ago.

However, their choices were completely opposite.

Han Sen chose to occupy the land as king and was full of hatred for Miles and the New America, but Li De still loved his country deeply and was willing to do everything for it.

But don't think that Li De is a good person, because the new America he is loyal to is not a thing.

Not only is he willing to give everything to himself, he also likes to pull others along.

For example, Alex, who has been trapped in Dog Town for many years, and Song Zhaomei, who was almost raped.

When the DLC plot begins, the name of the main mission in the prologue has already stated the tone of the entire story: dog eats dog.

So Li Ang didn't have any psychological burden on them.

Since both of them like to use people as foot wipes, be prepared to be used as foot wipes.

Seeing the agent drink the wine, Li Ang kept his promise and released Miles.

"Li De!"

The depressed president recognized his former subordinate at a glance, but the loyal agent did not respond to her call.

At this time, Li De was sitting on the sofa with his head lowered, his fists clenched, veins popping out, and he groaned in pain. His black skin was strangely red, and his body was exuding steaming heat, as if a stone had been thrown into a boiling water. Rolling stones in lava.

"Li De, Li De, are you okay!?"

Upon seeing this, Miles rushed over and asked hypocritically about Li De, completely forgetting that he had betrayed him.

But as soon as he touched Li De's body, his palms were instantly burned and ulcerated over a large area.

"Ah!" Miles screamed and rolled away from Li De.

Li Ang, who had had enough of the monkey show, took V out of the reception room, leaving a message before leaving: "Keep an eye on her, Solomon."

A few seconds later, under the horrified gaze of Miles, Li De slowly raised his head.

His eyes were as red as blood, his four canines were turned outward, his sharp nails dug deeply into the armrest of the sofa, and a conspicuous white breath came out of his mouth.

"Yes, Master."

In the corridor outside the room, V followed Li Ang with his hands behind his back.

After hesitating for a while, she said: "Boss, I found that you look like the villain BOSS in the game."

"Oh, really?" Li Ang smiled meaningfully: "I have always thought that I am a good person."

V stepped on his shadow with his foot: "Yeah, just give it a try."

"It's not bad for me anyway."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence to prevent some people from becoming complacent.

The two strolled to the Sapphire Blue Club. Li Ang ordered people to find Song Zhaomei and Han Sen and explain something to them.

Han Sen was responsible for taking the raw blood he gave, diluting it and giving it to the Nether Dogs to drink.

Song Zhaomei needs to use her superb hacking skills to improve the firewall of Dog Town's internal network to deal with the large number of network attacks that are likely to occur in the future.

After the two of them took their orders and left, V said quietly: "I realize that I seem to have boarded a pirate ship."

Li Ang retorted plausibly: "It is clearly an unsinkable ship."

"Can I apply to jump ship now?"

"No."

"Ok."

The two of them just bickered over and over again, looking bored but actually enjoying themselves.

In the following days, Li Ang behaved very 'honestly', taking V to wander around Dog Town every day, searching for some novelties, or calling Han Sen over from time to time and asking him to arrange something secretly.

Wait patiently for the opportunity to come.

After Han Sen and his Nether Dogs had a falling out with New America, everyone thought that he would definitely be wiped out within two weeks, but he thrived.

Since he can't deal with New America, he will go to the top management of Night City and Arasaka Company.

[The enemy of my enemy is my friend] This sentence was vividly demonstrated by Han Sen.

It just so happens that major companies and the Night City government need such a place, a place that does not belong to any force, a place where they can safely discuss some dirty business without being caught.

So Han Sen took the initiative to take on this responsibility. Every once in a while, the Sapphire Club would hold a banquet and invite company executives, celebrities from all walks of life, gang bosses, celebrities, and politicians to the party.

On the surface, Dog Town does not deal with any force. Behind the scenes, any force is Dog Town's protective umbrella.

Except, of course, for military technology.

This is the party that Li Ang has been waiting for. It would be extremely difficult to get this group of people together.

Time flew by and soon came the day of the party.

As the planner and person in charge, Han Sen was very busy, trying his best to coordinate all parties. His phone calls had not stopped since he opened his eyes in the morning.

This was the largest gathering since the founding of Dog Town, and probably the last.

So he must be very energetic and take it seriously.

All relevant personnel of Baoshi Qing were mobilized, but Li Ang remained leisurely.

At this time, he was playing cards with V in a guest room.

It was not suitable for two people to play games during the day, so I found Hanako Arasaka and Miles to keep me company.

Li De, who was forced to board the ship, and Song Zhaomei, who volunteered to board the ship, acted as spectators.

"Miss Hanako, there is a party tonight, do you want to attend?" Li Ang threw out a card: "People from Arasaka Company will also come. It's a good time for you to ask for help!"

Hanako Arasaka has been at Gemstone Blue for almost a week and is basically resigned to her fate.

What's more, there is Song Zhaomei, whose hacker skills are far superior to hers, staring at her every day, leaving no chance for help or escape.

"Forget it, I'm fine in the room." Miss Arasaka smiled reluctantly.

She is now like a dog that is about to be domesticated. She only thinks about how to please Li Ang every day so that she can go home as soon as possible.

Miles, who was suffering from the same problem, had a bit of disdain on his face when he heard this.

But she looks tough, but in fact she is panicked.

As time goes by, her importance within the new United States and military technology becomes less and less. After all, she is not irreplaceable as president.Miles was afraid that even if the people of New America found her, they would not come to save people, but to kill and silence her.

In addition, Li De, who was most likely to save her, betrayed her, which made her even more panic-stricken.

The bad mood affected the president's physical condition.

His complexion was dull, his eyes were swollen, his hair, which was once meticulous, was now a mess, his mind was not very clear, and he had no intention of playing cards.

Li Ang glanced at her and said, "It seems that our Madam President is tired. Solomon, take her down to rest. This is our most important auction item tonight."

Upon hearing this, Li De mercilessly picked up his former boss and took her out of the room.

After the two left, Li Ang turned to the eager female hacker: "Zhao Mei, take her place."

"Okay!" Song Zhaomei couldn't wait to sit in Miles' original seat.

As a result, just after playing a few games, the club's waiter came to inform: "Ladies, the dresses are ready. Please come with me and try them on."

Even V was a little disappointed at this point: "It's still early for the party to start, let's play a little longer."

Li Ang smiled and said with relief: "Go quickly, you are my female companion tonight, so you must dress up well."

"Okay." V ​​reluctantly put down the cards in his hand: "Let's go, Zhaomei, let's go together."

After getting along for a period of time, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and they became a little bit like best friends.

Song Zhaomei is waiting for Hanako Arasaka. The task Li Ang gave her tonight is to keep an eye on this big shot and see who she has contacted and what she has said.

Hanako Arasaka hesitated.

She's not stupid. Tonight's party is obviously a trap, so why would she take the initiative to jump in?

"Li Angjun, can you?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ang replied forcefully: "No, you have to go!"

Hanako Arasaka's eyes turned red instantly, but unfortunately no one cared.

In the end, I had no choice but to follow V and others to choose party dresses.

Li Ang was the only one left in the room, and he was too lazy to stay any longer, so he strolled slowly to the party venue.

In the club, nearly a hundred waiters were rushing back and forth, preparing for the evening.

Han Sen is receiving guests who arrived early.

Seeing Li Ang appear, he quickly greeted him: "Sir, are you okay with coming so early?"

"It's okay, I'll find a place to sit for a while, and you can do your work." Li Ang looked around and said.

At this time, the guest walked over with a graceful cat walk: "Colonel Hansen, don't you want to introduce me?"

Li Ang knew her.

Lizzy Weisz, one of the top stars in Night City, singer and performance artist.

She is famous for her removable chin and chrome skin.

Her degree of cyber transformation is even higher than that of Adam Hammer. At least there is no trace of her original appearance. In this world, people who have been transformed to an excessive degree usually have mental problems.
Han Sen spent a lot of money to invite her here, both as a guest and as the opening act of the party.

"Hello, Miss Liqi Weisz. Nice to meet you." Li Ang took the initiative to extend his hand: "I am very much looking forward to your performance later."

At present, Li Qi seems to be quite normal, as artificial and enthusiastic as most celebrities.

"Oh, nice to meet you too, handsome stranger!"

Li Ang didn't chat much with her. After telling her his name, he went to the box prepared by Han Sen for him.

In the next few hours, celebrities from Night City arrived in droves.

There are the deputy mayor of Night City, the director of NCPD, representatives of large companies, gang bosses and important leaders, well-known anchors of various news websites, and even diplomatic ambassadors, dictators of some small countries, arms dealers, mafia, and miscellaneous minions. , three religions and nine streams, everything you need.

Even Han Sen didn't dare to say that he knew everyone.

They gathered together in twos and threes and discussed 'big business' without hesitation.

And Li Ang, who stayed under the same roof as these insects, felt as noble as a saint.

"I originally thought that all the crows in the world are as dark as the others, but when I came here I found that each one was darker than the other."

"Night City has always been like this." Li De replied calmly.

After sending his former boss back to his room, he came to the club and started working in his old profession, guarding the door of the box as a bodyguard.Although he was transformed into a blood slave, his self-awareness is still there, and he is a high-end blood slave similar to Han Sen.

Li Ang shrugged noncommittally: "I can hear that you have great opinions on Night City."

"Maybe it's because I almost died here." Li De replied expressionlessly.

The two were chatting, and V, wearing a white sequined suit, came over. He was a bit showy, but it suited her well.

"Why didn't you wear the evening dress prepared for you?"

V sat down next to Li Ang, picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then awkwardly tugged at the collar of his shirt: "I'm not used to it. It feels like wearing that thing is the same as not wearing it. It leaks everywhere."

Finally, she whispered in his ear: "You can't wear underwear yet!"

"What about now?" Li Ang looked up and down deliberately.

V glared at him angrily: "Go to hell!"

Then he poured wine to cover up his embarrassment.

Looking at her slightly red cheeks, Li Ang seemed to have guessed the truth.

"Where are Akemi and Hanako Arasaka?"

V raised his chin towards the distance: "No, over there."

Li Ang looked over and saw two people holding arms and being as close as sisters.

Song Zhaomei wore a long black dress. The style was very similar to the dress she wore in the bacterial net that day.

Hanako Arasaka wears her favorite white gold evening dress, which is full of luxury.

The former led the latter on the dance floor of the club, fearing that others would not know that the third young lady of the Arasaka family, who had been missing for half a month, was here.

As expected, this attracted the attention of all the guests, who all speculated whether Han Sen had kidnapped her.

After kidnapping the new President of the United States and then kidnapping the only daughter of the Arasaka family, lawlessness is not enough to describe his arrogance.

But from beginning to end, no one asked Hanako Arasaka a word, including the director of NCPD.

Only the representative of Arasaka Company wants to find his lady.

Song Zhaomei ignored them and took Hanako Arasaka directly to the box where Li Ang was.

Representative Arasaka quickly followed, but was stopped by Li De at the door.

When they saw Li Ang, their expressions immediately changed, and they bowed in fear: "Mr. Li Ang."

Li Ang turned around and asked, "Are these your people or your brother's?"

Hanako Arasaka, whose face was also not very pretty, replied: "Mine."

"Yeah, it's interesting." Li Ang asked the two representatives to enter the box, but their bodyguards were still stuck outside.

"Zhaomei, pour the two of you a glass of wine. We are all members of our family, so don't be restrained."

The two representatives nodded and bowed, thanked them repeatedly, and judged it to be an innocent little day.

Arasaka Company is currently divided into three factions.

Hawks: Led by Yorinobu Arasaka, they are mostly members of the elite radical faction and are the most powerful.

Pheasant Faction: Led by Hanako Arasaka, they are mainly conservative technocrats. They used to be loyal to Saburo Arasaka, but now they are loyal to Hanako Arasaka, hoping that she can continue along the route set by her father.

Dove faction: The faction with the lowest influence and least presence. The leader is Michiko Arasaka, the granddaughter of Saburo Arasaka. Most of the supporters of this faction are liberals who hope to deeply reform the company. They are very popular with people outside the company, such as Some politicians and media personnel.

However, compared with the first two factions, their strength is still weak.

After Saburo Arasaka's death, the Hawks and Pheasants factions were mainly fighting for power, while the Dove faction and other small factions could only watch from the sidelines without being able to intervene at all.

At the beginning, the pheasant faction and the hawk faction were evenly matched with the favor of Saburo Arasaka.

But when Hanako Arasaka disappeared, the Pheasant Faction was leaderless and in disarray. Arasaka Yorinobu took the opportunity to clean up a large number of them.

The two representatives who came today are two of them.

Said to be attending a party, it was actually exiled, further weakening the power of the Pheasant Sect.

And Li Ang had a clear label of [Lai Xuan's confidant] on his head, so from the moment they saw him, the two representatives felt that they were finished, and this time they would have to shed their skins even if they didn't die.

"Mr. Li Ang, our" higher-ranking representative wants to lighten the atmosphere.

But Li Ang waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "The performance is about to begin, let's watch the performance first."

I was very tired yesterday, and I have a headache today.
