Chapter 218 Kang Tao Enters Night City Council

Stout's face turned red with anger, especially the other company representatives, who were all watching the show.

This is indeed Stott's pain point. She started out as a field worker and was not a big deal at other times. She is proud enough to have risen from an agent to a company representative.

However, in such an occasion, one would subconsciously think that he was inferior to others. Unexpectedly, Jenkins, a reckless man, directly pointed it out. This made Stout feel ashamed and annoyed, but he had no way to refute it.

Until Huo Xiu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "What Jenkins said is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? We have an old saying that it is not a shame to be born in a humble family, and only those who can bend and stretch can be a real man.

Since we can sit together today, it means that everyone here is equal, don’t you think so? "

"Hmph!" Jenkins snorted coldly, glared at Huo Xiu, and said nothing more.

Stout glanced at Huo Xiu with gratitude. The company's top management had already told her that they had formed a strategic alliance with Kang Tao. Today's meeting was particularly important, and Kang Tao must be helped to enter the Night City Council.

That being the case, Stout believed that Huo Xiu helped him because they were allies.

After Huo Xiu's speech, the atmosphere of the meeting began to ease.

Stott adjusted his state, chuckled and said again: "Oh? Is Representative Jenkins trying to change the subject?

Stout brought the topic back to the topic again. "Then may I ask Representative Jenkins, besides Arasaka, which other company's technology can produce such advanced prosthetics?"

The venue suddenly fell into silence, and everyone turned their eyes to the Arasaka delegation.

Stout wants to put Arasaka on the fire. Women are narrow-minded and should not be provoked.

Everyone present can see that it was Arasaka who did the first assassination, but no one present mentioned it because they were afraid of a fallout.

Now there is no need to worry, Stout directly tore open the scar. You know, Lucius, who was assassinated, is still sitting here.

Now not only Arasaka was embarrassed, but Lucius was also embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Jenkins said, "Don't you have military technology to create prosthetics of this level?"

Jenkins glanced at the Zeta Technology representative again, ready to drag them into the water. But then he thought that Arasaka still had a big problem to deal with, so he decided not to make more enemies.

He continued, "Who knows, maybe you planned this assassination just to frame Arasaka."

Lucius Lane looked a little unhappy, but Jenkins smoothed it over, which made him look better.

This shows that Arasaka has not yet planned to break up with him. Lucius also plans to use Arasaka to check and balance military technology. At this time, the situation is stronger than people, so let go of the hatred and be prepared to tolerate him for a while.

At this time, the representative of the Ye Group, who had been silent, spoke up: "I think that before there is solid evidence, we should not easily put the blame on any party. Maybe the real murderer is someone else?"

As the mastermind of the second assassination, Ye Shi must muddy the waters and not let this topic continue. If they continue to dig deeper, they might be exposed as well.

Lucius Ryan nodded and agreed with the Yeshi Group. Although the Yeshi Group was a relatively well-hidden assassin, Lucius Ryan still treated them well.

The exposed venomous snake no longer poses a threat.

"That's right. We can't let the real murderer go unpunished. I suggest setting up a special investigation team to look into this matter in depth."

Representatives from major companies echoed the call, and it was finally decided that NCPD would take the lead, with the companies cooperating, in conducting a joint investigation.

Just investigate. The instigator is the NCPD, so there is nothing to be found. Then they can just push out a scapegoat, and the current situation of the companies will not change, how good.

"There is one more thing." Lucius Lane said, "The current international situation is somewhat dangerous. I plan to introduce Kang Tao to the Night City Council and station troops in Night City. Who here agrees, and who objects?"

Lucius Lane had not forgotten the deal with Ling Luxian. To be precise, the purpose of holding this roundtable meeting was to resolve this matter. Another reason was to test the ideas of the major companies.

Lucius' words were a big deal. That was the Night City Council, which was totally different from today's round table meeting.

To put it simply, the roundtable meeting is a discussion between major companies and the Night City government on the future plans of Night City.

What is the Night City Council? If the Round Table is the United Nations, then the Night City Council is the five permanent members. The two are completely different.

Not to mention, Lucius Lane was also planning to have Kontao station troops in Night City.

This is ridiculous! Damn it, how much benefit did Kang Tao give to Lucius to allow him to raise such a ridiculous topic?

Look at Huo Xiu, he is so happy as if he had eaten bee poop.

Could it be that Lucius saw that Arasaka Saburo was assassinated and thought that Arasaka was no longer capable and was preparing to find someone else to rely on?

Everyone looked at Jenkins. If he continued to be a wimp today, there would be something fun to watch.

"I object!"

Everyone looked towards where the sound came from.

Who knew that the first one to come out and oppose was not Arasaka, but Zeta Technology.

Damn it, why are you the first to come out and stick your head around again?

Zeta had to step forward. They had finally entered the Night City Council. Seeing Kang Tao coming in so easily, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Zeta Technology entered the Night City Council because of the 4th Corporate War, when Arasaka was defeated and withdrew from Night City. Zeta Technology was lucky and was able to rise to the top.

They are well aware of the benefits of joining the Night City Council. Zeta is also planning to vigorously develop Night City, so why is Kang Tao suddenly intervening?

Lucius Lane was relieved. He didn't want Kang Tao to enter the Night City Council, but because of the deal he made with Ling Luxian, he had to propose this motion.

As long as the current situation remains unchanged, it will be fine. Even though Arasaka is in danger now, Arasaka Yorinobu is still here. When he recovers, Arasaka will still be the same Arasaka.

"I agree."

One person who agreed was Stott.

The others looked at Stout and it didn't seem like he had said anything wrong. They were all thinking about something for a moment.

Lucius had a complicated expression. It seemed that Ling Luxian had set a trap for him. Kang Tao had formed an alliance with military technology.

"I agree."

This is Arthur Jenkins.

"I agree."

This is the representative of Ye Group.

Everyone felt crazy. Are they going to April Fools' Day today? It's okay if Military Technology agrees. Maybe they have formed an alliance.

What did you Arasaka agree to? Kang Tao is your biggest competitor! Have you forgotten how they beat you in the Fourth Corporate War?

And what about Ye’s Company? Why are you butting in?

The atmosphere suddenly became weird. After a moment of silence, all the representatives agreed to the motion.

Apart from anything else, if Arasaka and Militech agree to the proposal, then it’s basically a done deal.

There is only one clown here now. I won’t tell you who it is for fear of hurting his self-esteem.
