Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 195 A Legendary Day

Yoriyuki Arasaka gazed at the distant neon lights, remaining silent for some time.

His younger sister, Hanako Arasaka, had been harassing him quite a bit on his communication channel. Arasaka Yoriyuki couldn't really say he disliked his sister, since in his memory, the child had always genuinely longed for family unity.

Regardless of her inner thoughts, Hua Zi never attempted to exterminate Lai Xuan, this 'traitor'.

Correct.

Arasaka Yorinobu is a human being, and as long as one is human, one will naturally feel close to things that accompany them for a long time, thus enhancing their perception of them.

However, he couldn't convince himself to like Hanako Arasaka, or anyone else in the Arasaka family.

Whether it's the younger sister, the older brother, or the father, they are all too old-fashioned.

They are either short-sighted or looking toward a future that is too selfish and self-serving.

Someone has to do something.

Arakawa Yoriyuki looked into the distance. He was now a prisoner. Just as Lu Mingfei and the others had predicted, Arakawa Hanako brought the elite troops of the Arakawa family to Night City and almost instantly took over and incorporated the armed forces held by Arakawa Yoriyuki.

Arasaka Yorinobu did not resist, because it was pointless.

He knew all too well the power of Arakasaka.

He had already done everything he could; all that was left was to watch how things unfolded and then gamble.

Bet on the person who placed their bet; they will win.

"The operation plan is exactly as planned."

Inside the safe house, this was the last time Lu Mingfei told his partners about his plan.

The shimmering blue light curtain naturally generated a model, and the prototype of the Aragaka Tower was built on the sand table at the intersection of the three people, looking magnificent and unattainable.

But now, three hours later, these three mercenaries are going to turn Arasaka upside down.

"I had already roughly scanned the structure of Arasaka Tower during my first attempt."

"With the map provided by V, we should be able to fill in all the details."

"In the first phase of the plan, I will try to draw fire while V escorts Jack to take a detour to approach the sacred vehicle."

"Of course, it would be impossible for us alone to face the well-prepared Arasaka. Therefore, I called in a lot of fearless mercenaries to do this job. They will be responsible for disrupting the enemy's line of sight from the outside and drawing some of their fire."

He looked at V and Jack in front of him.

We only met about half a year ago, but now we're going to do something so big together? But I don't see any problem with it at all.

"We are overwhelmingly short-handed, so all operations should focus on 'breakthrough' rather than 'kill'. You should all remember the key points of the plan."

Lu Mingfei's expression immediately relaxed.

The legendary mercenary L displayed a somewhat ruthless demeanor when recounting his plans, but when his tone softened, he reverted to the gentle and soft-spoken Lu Mingfei he usually was.

"To be honest, if this were my superhero movie, I should sneak off after this meeting and take on Arasaka Tower all by myself."

“But you won’t do that.” V continued, a smile on her face. She always looked at Lu Mingfei with that ambiguous smile, as if she were looking at something that others couldn’t see.

Just like when Lai Xuan was in that situation, Jack and V were basically beyond saving, and Lu Mingfei himself was also surrounded by unexpected armed forces and couldn't take care of himself.

Even so, he would do everything he could to find a way to survive.

Not to mention his first encounter with him, which was because that immature boy was determined to save his boss, so he simply stormed up the Arasaka Tower and then jumped down to fight the world's strongest man in a battle that would cause the heavens and earth to shatter.

It has never changed since the beginning.

Because Lu Mingfei himself is the kind of person who would refuse to let David charge into Arasaka Tower alone at such a moment, he would not choose to face Arasaka alone when it came to his own turn.

Death is not the end, but a new beginning.

If V and Jack were to choose to stay and wait for news from Lu Mingfei, it would be an even crueler situation for them.

In this insane world, the only small act of resistance they can mount is to live together.
Let's die together.

wing~wu——wing~wu——

Night City is unusually lively today because just about an hour ago, Night City's broadcast system was hacked.

Most people were tired of hearing Stanley's radio broadcasts, but it had become muscle memory for them. They found it strange not to hear it today, but then, in less than half a minute—

【Bikala Lala】

【test test】 【Uh, everyone, I'm L. I think quite a few of you have heard of me. Even if you haven't before, you probably recognized me when I was accused of murdering Saburo Arasaka.】

The entire Night City erupted in noise. I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it.

In this city today, who hasn't heard of L?

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's image was displayed on the LCD screens of every building in Night City.

Inside the Arasaka Tower, Hanako Arasaka, who had prepared for battle, watched this scene with some disbelief—she truly hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to pull such a stunt before the battle even began.

But what's the point? To mobilize the residents of Night City to storm Arasaka Tower?
How can it be--

I'm here to explain something.

Lu Mingfei's words interrupted her thoughts, forcing her to continue reading.

A year ago, I stormed Arasaka Tower and killed Adam's Hammer.

However, isn't it too harsh to accuse me of murdering Saburo Arasaka just because of this?

Is it an attempt to shirk responsibility?
Hanako Arakawa frowned, but then her expression relaxed.

She certainly suspected that Lu Mingfei might be the murderer, and for a moment, she even thought that her brother, Arasaka Yoriyuki, was the murderer.

The father and son had always been at odds, and Goro Takemura had also said that Yoriyuki Arasaka was disrespectful to Saburo and there was a possibility that he would take action against him.

But so what.

Lu Mingfei, as the openly known murderer, must die, and Arasaka Hanako must use this achievement to rise to power, allowing the conservatives to take control of Arasaka, and then...
Use Relic to revive Saburo.

This is something that must be done from Hanako Arakawa's perspective.

Therefore, it is meaningless for Lu Mingfei to try to shirk responsibility. At this point, Lu Mingfei has already fallen into the trap of self-proof. No matter what he says, if Arasaka says he ate two bowls of noodles, then he did eat two bowls of noodles.

so-----

Therefore, I want to clarify here—

It's useless.
I am the murderer.

"."

I am not only a prisoner.

I will not be satisfied with this.

Hanako Arakawa froze.

[I will launch a frontal attack on Arasaka Tower in one hour.]

ha?
Hey?
Why?
Why bring this up?

Then, the dark reality of Arasaka is revealed.

You may call me a terrorist.

[You may also feel fear, reverence, or simply avoid me.]

But then—

Meanwhile, Arasaka Yorinobu, who had been gazing at the distant neon lights, also fell into a brief silence.

Looking at the smug smile on the giant screen of the skyscraper in the distance, the man's expression was obscured, except for the corner of his mouth.
It bends upwards uncontrollably.

Don't look away.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

With a huge explosion, Lu Mingfei, who was still proclaiming that he would "invade Arasaka Tower in an hour", detonated the bomb located in front of Arasaka Gate.

No one can get close to Arasaka without being detected, unless he is Lu Mingfei himself.

Flames burst forth, engulfing the entire gate of the Arasaka Tower in scorching heat. The shimmering, luminous blue turned blood red, signifying the activation of alert mode.

War has begun, and that indifferent voice still lingers in the city.

My name is L.

Mercenary L
