A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1163

Chapter 1163: Chapter 796: Start of the War Chapter 1163: Chapter 796: Start of the War For D, the leisurely days were never long, but luckily, she had already received a contact from Regina. The latter told D that they had arrived at the destination before the Munich Information Security Conference and had made contact with network surveillance through one of Regina's informants there.

Also, they would raise this issue in public at the Information Security Conference and release the data.

Thinking about it, the time was nearly up.

However, right now, D had a small problem.

“D, what on earth have you done?!”

The voice of Logue, full of fury as if caught in a trap dug by others, reached her ears.

“The Arasaka Intelligence Department found me, asking about my relationship with you, damn… what have you done?”

“I've stumbled upon a little secret of Arasaka's, that's all,”
D picked up a drink nearby, took a sip, and spoke.

“A little secret? Is that why you came to Lumiaire that day? Did you set me up?”

“How novel, how could that be called setting up, Logue. Since you can contact me, doesn't it mean you're fine? Then, this matter is over–right?”

“You——–!”

“Beep.”

However, before Logue could finish speaking, D cut off the communication directly.

The time was almost up.

D glanced at the time, currently lounging in the bar of Palace Blue Mansion, savoring a drink leisurely while waiting for the plan to proceed–that very day, this very evening, the Munich Security Conference would start, and simultaneously, D had to be here, igniting the beacon that would destroy Night City.

“Tap tap tap…”

Rapid footsteps sounded, D looked up, only to see a slouchy-dressed man with a stern face walking into Palace Blue Mansion, followed by someone who looked completely cybernetic, more like a machine than a human.

That was Adam Smasher.

The two entered the elevator, and at the same time, Lumiaire's voice came to D's ears.

[The target is about to arrive]
“Good, then let's set off as well,”
D stood up, stretched, and walked towards the elevator.

The fate of Arasaka would end tonight.

“Ding——–!”

The elevator doors slowly opened, and then D stepped into the elevator. Soon, the control panel's lights flashed, and it began to rise slowly toward the direction of the top-floor suite.

There was not a single sound in the elevator, just silence, D leaned against the elevator wall, watching the numbers changing steadily, and hummed softly to herself.

[You don't seem nervous at all, Great Judge?]
“I have nothing to be nervous about,”
In response to Lumiaire's query, D waved her hand dismissively.

“I've already killed quite a few people, and I will kill many more. To me, it doesn't matter whether these people are innocent or not, they must die because only in this way can the old era end and the new one begin. It's that simple. Similarly, on this chessboard, if the other party wants to force me to play the game by his rules, then what I need to do is lift the table and smash it directly into his face. Then, I will be the winner–after all, the dead can't claim victory.”

“Ding——–!”

The elevator stopped and then slowly opened, then D raised her head, stepped out of the elevator, and into the top-floor suite.

Then D saw—-a playboy was pinning an old man against the wall, his hands tightly around his throat.

This turn of events seemed a bit different from what she had expected?

D looked in astonishment at Arasaka Lai Xuan, who was trying to strangulate his own father. Honestly, she had to admit she really hadn't foreseen this kind of scenario.

What in the world was happening? Patricide? Though D had learned from Lumiaire's investigation that Arasaka Lai Xuan had stolen Arasaka Saburo's Soul Chip, she didn't expect this guy to be so bold–But what about Adam Smasher?

“Who are you?”

Arasaka Lai Xuan was clearly just as startled by D's sudden appearance, thus loosening his grip, but just then Arasaka Saburo suddenly pulled out a small knife from his embrace, and stabbed it into Arasaka Lai Xuan's chest!

“Ugh——–!”

Arasaka Lai Xuan, completely unprepared for the attack, widened his eyes, glaring furiously at Arasaka Saburo, then stumbled backward, and finally collapsed to the ground, becoming a corpse.

Well, this development was certainly beyond what D had expected.

“Such a foolish son,”
Arasaka Saburo took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his hands, and then threw it on the face of Arasaka Lai Xuan, who died with his eyes wide open. Only then did the old man finally raise his head, staring at D.

“Who are you, and why are you here?”

“Who I am is not important, but the reason I'm here is simple–I came to kill you and Arasaka Lai Xuan, only I didn't expect you to beat me to it.”

D glanced at the body of Arasaka Lai Xuan on the ground.

“But that's alright, it saves me some work.”

“Kill me?”

Hearing D's response, Arasaka Saburo laughed out loud.

“You have no idea what that means, if you kill me, Arasaka will not let you go, the rest of your life will be spent forever on the run…”

“So what?”

At the threat of Arasaka Saburo, D snorted dismissively.
