Chapter 256 Lucius's Change

Seeing Pila's careless look, Ling Luxian felt that this guy was a little unreliable, so he gave him some more warnings.

"I repeat, your role is to hold back the cops in Night City. Don't fight. I don't want to see you die in that stinking ditch."

Pira was still doing her job as the funny guy, but when she saw Ling Luxian's serious expression, she knew that this mission was no joke, so she immediately adjusted her attitude.

"Ah, I see."

Ling Luxian stared at his brother-in-law and patted his shoulder solemnly.

After he heaving a sigh of relief, he said to Rebecca and Vincent, “If the police and the guards at Arasaka Pier open fire, you must rescue them.

That cop has been preparing for this day for a long time, and it's clear that he's determined to die. Please help him if you can while ensuring your own safety."

Vincent nodded, "Don't worry, I will help him without you telling me."

Vincent had great respect for Daniels. He heard that in order to help the children of Santo Domingo, he actually went undercover in the NCPD.

It's not that the NCPD is bad. After all, our Night City Police Department is still guarding the people of Night City. The problem is that the NCPD is a mixed bag, and those who can be promoted are either capable or someone's black gloves.

So what kind of person is Daniels? It's hard to say. If he can help the old captain to connect with the big shots, his hands are probably not very clean.

"Yeah! I'll show them the effect of my training these days." Rebecca raised her fists. She didn't care whether it was Arasaka or not, whether it was a cop or not, as long as she could have a good fight.

Ling Luxian then instructed Falco, "Go get a black car from the old captain, and when you rescue the cop, you should immediately retreat to the evil land.

If you can attract some police force, that's better. If not, forget it. Vincent is an old acquaintance in the Badlands. He will help you find the way. You just need to drive."

"You think of me at this time?" Falco smiled.

"E on! When did I forget you?" Ling Luxian knew that Falco was joking, so he also said jokingly.

Falco stretched his back and said, "Okay, okay, it's time to show these corporate dogs how good we are as old Texas drivers."

It’s hard to say about Falco’s ability in a gunfight, but driving is definitely his forte, and as a world-class racing driver, he’s no joke.

Finally it was Sasha's turn.

Ling Luxian stroked Sasha's shaggy hair and asked, "You play games all day, but you haven't lost your basic hacker skills, have you?"

Sasha stuck out her tongue playfully, "Don't worry, these are all instincts, they won't fall."

Even though Sasha is obsessed with games and Mewtwo, he has also mastered hacking techniques.

When they are not having a good time playing, they often hack into the operator's network to increase their own combat power.

After a while, he got into a fight with a network engineer from DMS. His hacking skills were not very good, but his super dream editing skills were first-rate.

Some of the Mewtwo that Sasha played were created by that network engineer. After communicating with him more, he became his friend.

Recently I heard that he was kicked out by DMS and was saddled with a lot of debt. He was preparing to make some big moves to pay off the debt.

I was originally planning to talk to Ling Luxian about this matter and help that unlucky guy. But now it seems that I should just do the current matter well.

"Okay, then come with me. There is an independent LAN at the dock. I need you to hack into that network and monitor the enemy's every move."

"Yes, sir!" Sasha saluted Ling Luxian playfully, and Ling Luxian pinched her cheeks in return.

Everyone else was very happy to see this scene, except Rebecca, who looked very angry, even though pinching the cheeks was her specialty.

After finishing the business, everyone relaxed. Jack took a sip of beer and boasted.

"Do you know who I met when I was protecting Lucius?" Jack said mysteriously in a low voice.

"Who is it?" Ling Lu took a bite of the barbecue and said nonchalantly, "Could it be Michiko Arasaka? No matter how much Arasaka values him, it's impossible for the CEO of the Night City branch to come forward, right?"

"Then you guessed wrong. Keep guessing."

Jack tried to arouse Ling Luxian's interest, but Ling Luxian didn't fall for it.

"You tell me or not, if you don't tell me I won't listen."

Upon hearing this, Jack immediately became anxious.

"Stop! This is a big news, you can't stop."

Ling Luxian secretly rejoiced, knowing that Jack, with his big mouth, would definitely not be able to hold back his desire to talk. If he could hold back, Ling Luxian would doubt whether the brother Jack in front of him was still the real him.

Maybe if it's enough, the CIA agents from the new United States could infiltrate and replace Jack.

"I'll tell you straight out of the blue, it's the current CEO of Militech, Lucas Harford. Tell me if that's weird."

"Who are you talking about?" Ling Luxian widened his eyes.

He thought it was someone from Arasaka Corporation, at most Jenkins from the Special Operations Department, a senior Arasaka official in charge of intelligence, that was quite prestigious.

Unexpectedly, he is not a high-ranking member of Arasaka, or even a member of Arasaka.

I never thought that a sly fellow like you, Lucius, would also betray the Locust Army!

When you mention the CEO of Military Technology, you may not have a clear idea of what he is, except that he is a senior executive of Military Technology. But when you mention the previous CEO, there is something to talk about.

The previous CEO of Militech was Rosalind Myers, the current president of NUSA.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Miles is re-elected for dozens of terms, the next president will be Lucas.

Lucius Lane's betrayal was foreseeable. From Night City and military technology, and the operation to eliminate homeless people, it can be seen that Lucius is moving towards military technology.

According to the standard administrative procedures of Night City, candidates must keep a record of their public activities. At this time, there are obvious political implications.

So the question is, the person standing next to Lucius Lane at this time is not a senior executive of Arasaka but a senior executive of military technology.

This shows that Lucius Lane has clearly chosen a side, kicking his adopted parents Arasaka away as a stumbling block and re-entering the arms of military technology.

How could Arasaka tolerate this? You, a lackey, turned against Tiangang and dared to bite your master. So, Lucius Lane was assassinated.

The funny thing is that due to Ling Luxian's strict defense, both assassination attempts failed. After Lucius Lane experienced two assassination attempts, his poll rating rose again by 24 percentage points.

Originally, Lucius Lane was 19 percentage points higher than Jefferson. Now the poll has reached 84:16, and the election result can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
