2077: V really knows how awesome he is

Xu Zhong did not dodge, not because he couldn't dodge, but because he had no choice but to.

He had only one chance, and he had already staked everything on it.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and he will launch the fastest attack of his life!

With complete focus, he engaged the bullets in close combat, his Miao sword accurately slicing through them. Then, seizing the opportune moment, he deflected the bullets back along their original path. A series of crisp bangs rang out, sparks flying and illuminating the path ahead. Of the eight bullets, Xu Zhong severed five, and three bounced back. Two of these were dodged by Kenichi Saburo, and only one struck his left arm.

Blood spurted out; the strongest lone wolf bled for the first time.

"Beautiful! Come on!" Kenichi Saburo showed an excited expression and gripped the dagger in his right hand in reverse.

Xu Zhong reinforced his ankles and leaped high into the air with a bang. He charged forward in mid-air, discarding all distractions, and unleashed a powerful downward strike, embodying the unity of heaven and man!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Bang!

The dagger blocked the Miao knife.

Such a flimsy weapon could not have held out for long, but it was this weapon, which embodied a thousand years of wisdom, that was the first to fall.

A crack spread out from the point of impact, and to Xu Zhong's astonishment, the Miao sword broke in two with a bang.

"Varied……?!"

“Every bullet hits the same spot on the Miao sword, young man, you’re still too green!” Kenichi Saburo grinned maliciously, grabbed Xu Zhong from mid-air with his left hand, and then raised his right hand, plunging the cold dagger into the burning chest.

He twisted his wrist, crushing his heart, and Xu Zhong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.

When V arrived, this was the scene that greeted him.

The strongest lone wolf looked in V's direction: "You're too late."

"Kenichi Saburo!!!"

V let out a furious roar, pulling out Arasaka Shinmura and Arasaka Shingen and firing wildly, but Kenichi Saburo easily dodged them with a few quick lunges. Running out of bullets, the strongest lone wolf was about to retaliate when V threw away her dual pistols and activated her brain-computer interface, her blue eyes turning red. While frantically uploading her puppets, V charged towards Kenichi Saburo.

[Prosthetic body malfunction] [Electromagnetic short circuit] [Protruding melt]!

Kenichi Saburo's prosthetic body kept exploding, and even though he was equipped with Arasaka's strongest personal ICE, he was still unable to move.

But the strongest individual ICE ultimately saved his life; even [Synaptic Melting] couldn't kill Kenichi Saburo.

V had anticipated this, picked up the broken half of the Miao sword from the ground, and slashed it hard at Kenichi Saburo's head!

With a crash, the sunglasses shattered.

The Miao sword sliced ​​through the artificial skin, but was blocked by the metal skeleton below, sending sparks flying.

Kenichi Saburo grinned again, tucked the dagger into his sleeve, and punched V in the face with his right fist.

Boom!

V flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through two walls before coming to a stop.

She tried to stand up and continue fighting, but her consciousness involuntarily detached from her body. Blood streamed down her forehead, quickly pooling beneath her.

“V, you can’t do anything. You’re destined to be just Michiko’s dog. If you want to surrender, come to the penthouse suite in the Konpaku Building. I’ll be there. If you want revenge, come to the penthouse suite in the Konpaku Building. I’ll crush all your hopes once again.”

Kenichi Saburo threw away his broken sunglasses and left.

In a daze, V saw Joanne Koch rushing over and her panicked expression before losing consciousness completely.

[V Zhentian is making a comeback and gathering]

Chapter 41 The living are the most important.

There is no space up, down, left, or right.

V and a giant jellyfish float in it.

Time seemed to pass in a second, yet also in ten thousand years.

Finally, the giant jellyfish shattered the peace.

Are you sad?

"No, I'm thinking about how to get out of this godforsaken place."

"Where are you going after you leave?"

"To take revenge."

V opened her eyes, and for the first time ever, she remembered the contents of her dream.

A dark space? A giant jellyfish?

It doesn't matter; she doesn't care about any of that right now.

There was only one thing she had to do.

When the nurses came for a routine check-up, they found that the person who should have been unconscious was now dressed in a suit.

“Vice Minister…you…you can’t get up, you should rest more.”

“Thank you for your concern, I will take a break, but not now.” V smiled slightly. “Could you please call Joanne Koch for me?”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

In the conference room.

Joanne Koch, looking haggard, reported the situation: "The underground factory was destroyed, as was the isomer. To remanufacture it, we'll have to start from scratch. Thankfully, Kenichi Saburo didn't harm the researchers and workers; he probably considers them Michiko Arasaka's property. We suffered heavy losses in this battle; our military technology and Contau's security forces were completely wiped out. Stoke is still in critical condition, and Xu Zhong..."

V remained calm: "Go ahead and speak."

"Xu Zhong's original heart was completely destroyed, and his accessory heart was also severely damaged. It's clear that Kenichi Saburo is very experienced. The good news is that the presence of the accessory heart prevented Xu Zhong from dying on the spot. The bad news is that due to massive blood loss, Xu Zhong's brain suffered severe brain damage due to lack of oxygen and he is currently in a deep coma, relying on machines to stay alive."

Is a cure possible?

Joanne Koch paused for a moment, then gave a difficult answer: "Zero."

"Don't give up. Just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future." V remained calm: "Freeze Xu Zhong and wake him up when there's a way to cure him."

“That…is one way. But his status is special, and Kang Tao might not agree.”

“I’ll persuade Kangtao to do it.”

"How can you convince them? Kangtao people place great importance on the soul returning to its homeland."

“They are more focused on revenge.” V stood up: “I will hand the murderer over to Kang Tao.”

Joanne Koch was startled: "You're going to go find Kenichi Saburo? No way, it's been proven that you're no match for him."

“Don’t worry, Koch,” V said with a smile. “I can’t beat him now, but I used to be. It won’t be long. Give me two hours, and everything will be back to normal.”

"V..."

"By the way, give me some pneumatic syringes, filled with the most potent 'Pure Power' injection, the kind with the best effect."

Arakasaka Tower.

Security forces had been waiting for some time.

Although the captain was still wrapped in bandages, he stood even more upright than usual: "Vice Minister V, the entire security department has assembled. Please give the order!"

"Are you going too?" V asked.

"Yes!" the entire security department answered loudly.

"That's the First Lone Wolf, aren't you afraid?"

"We are afraid, but we are even more afraid of losing you. I am not good with words, but since you came into our lives, we have gradually begun to live like human beings. So I thought, even if we, these incompetent people, can help you take a bullet, that would be good enough. So please do not hesitate to use us as you wish, that would be the highest honor of our lives; if the critical moment comes, please feel free to abandon us, we will have no regrets!"

V laughed and said, "You call this being unable to speak properly?"

The captain's face turned red.

"Alright, thank you for your kindness, but this is a personal grudge between me and Kenichi Saburo." V patted the captain on the shoulder and said to all the security guards, "I didn't turn you back into humans so you could be cannon fodder. Protect our company, I'll be right back."

V boarded the airship and began heading towards the Azure Tower.

During the journey, Kurt Hansen called.

“Vice Minister, I’ve heard about it. I have about 800 men under my command, fully armed. Just give the order, and I’ll raze the Azure Building to the ground!”

"Is the Dogtown boss really that loyal?"

"What loyalty! Those big shots wouldn't cooperate with a stray dog ​​like me. If you die, who will I eat?"

"As expected of Kurt Hansen, you're very insightful. But I won't trouble your brothers; it's a small matter, I can handle it myself."

"Are you sure? That's the first lone wolf."

"Don't worry, it won't be that soon."

"Damn, I really don't know where you get your confidence from. Go ahead and go if you want. Just so you know, if you die, I'm going to run off with all the money!"

Communication is interrupted.

The hovercar continued forward.

The closer you get to the Gum Pik Building, the more congested it becomes both above and below ground.

Above, there were hovercars belonging to major companies, news television stations, and terrorist mobile units; below, there were various vehicles belonging to middlemen, mercenaries, and gangs; and ordinary people gathered in restaurants, bars, and squares, watching the development of the situation through one large screen after another.

The tragedy that night has become the biggest news in the past few days. Arasaka was unable to cover it up in time, firstly because the scene was too big, and secondly because V was seriously injured and unconscious, which threw the management into chaos.

Now the entire Night City knows about the feud between V and Kenichi Saburo, and the internal strife within Arasaka.

When the minister is strong and the ruler is weak, a war is inevitable.

What will the future hold for Night City? Will it embark on a new path under V's leadership, or will it return to Arasaka and revert to its lifeless past?

Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting, waiting for the outcome of this battle.

"It's tough. That's Kenichi Saburo, the world's number one lone wolf." The representative from Zeta Technology sighed slightly. He hoped that V would win, but reality is not Mewtwo. No matter how intense the emotions, they cannot enhance the fighting power by even a fraction. Only power can determine the future. Only power.

V was resting with her eyes closed when another phone call came in.

Once connected, the Mantis operator appeared on the holographic screen.

“Detective Inspector Melissa Rory, what brings you here?” V asked.

“V, we can help you with your problem.” The Mantis operator, whose real name is Rosali Rory, spoke sincerely.

"Are you representing the NCPD, the Terrorist Response Unit, or the city government?"

Melissa Rory replied, "Night."

"roll."

V hung up the call.

The airship landed on the helipad on the top floor of the Konpaku Building, the same spot where Saburo Arasaka landed, and he never made it out alive.

Will V suffer the same fate as Saburo Arasaka?

She tucked her friend's "black stick" behind her waist, already having her answer in mind.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

V walked down the steps one by one, and the familiar living room came into view. Kenichi Saburo was sitting on the sofa with his back to the stairs. He didn't turn his head when he heard the footsteps. While watching a boring variety show, he said, "Those who are all murderous are definitely not here to surrender. It seems that I didn't kill them hard enough last time. I should have killed that woman with the military technology as well."

“No.” V walked to the potted plant by the door, took the lizard off it, opened the elevator door, put it inside, and pressed the down button. “The person you should kill most is me.”

"What, you think you can win this time?" Kenichi Saburo was amused. He turned his head and said, "Don't forget you're a useless person who can only fight for three minutes!"

V did not refute, but instead took out a silver-white syringe.

"This thing can temporarily repair my damaged nerves, but the price is that I have a 37.44% chance of dying."

Kenichi Saburo raised an eyebrow: "Would you dare to bet?"

V did not answer, but instead inserted the needle into his chest and slowly pushed in all the liquid.

Kenichi Saburo stood up: "You're courting death."

“I don’t know if I’ll live or die.” V looked up. “But I know you’re dead.”

“Hey! It’s been almost 50 years since anyone dared to talk to me like that.” Kenichi Saburo grinned maliciously, holding a dagger between his fingers.

V-sign hand gesture.

Kenichi Saburo's face turned cold, and the dagger flew from his hand.
