Chapter 1265 - 410: Still Singing? You’re Coming with Me! (Part 2)
God knows how those plagiarists remember the three hundred Tang poems.
A moment of sadness overwhelmed me, my face revealed grief.
"At this moment, I can’t even recite a single poem!"
The other players couldn’t hold back their laughter upon seeing this scene.
If the timing was right, this group might even want to rehearse a scene for Lorentan’s amusement.
Before Lai Xuan thought he was having a cyber-psychosis attack, Lin Miao adjusted his expression.
"Hmm...your father is dead, but who knows if he’s completely dead."
Lai Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that his partner had really lost his mind.
As for the matter of killing his father with his own hands, he didn’t feel overly sad inside.
On the day he decided to bring the relic to Night City, he knew Huang Ban Sanlang would definitely follow.
For this, he had made extensive preparations, planning for years and even contacting the Internet Supervisor.
Even taking the relic was meant to lure Huang Ban Sanlang away from the heavily guarded Chiba City, where he finally had the chance to rise up and kill in Night City.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, he turned his head slightly, feeling a bit sad, and said,
"Not yet, my father Huang Ban Sanlang isn’t so easily defeated."
"His real personality imprint still exists in the Oracle, but only I, Hua Zi, and a few relic developers know this."
"Then..."
Lin Miao made a throat-slitting gesture.
The implication was to eliminate Hua Zi too, to weed out the roots.
But Lai Xuan was not the cold-blooded and numb Huang Ban Sanlang; he still had family ties in his heart and refused this plan without hesitation.
"She’s my sister; she knows nothing about these matters. As long as the terrifying reign of my father can be thoroughly ended, Hua Zi can’t do anything, there’s no threat."
"Once I completely take over Huang Ban, I’ll terminate this research project, allowing my father to rest in peace."
Lin Miao didn’t want to meddle in Huang Ban family affairs but felt preventive measures must be taken, so he said,
"There’s one more thing. We have to publicize Huang Ban Sanlang’s death, solidifying the fact of his death in public eyes."
"Only when Huang Ban Sanlang is dead in people’s minds is he truly dead."
The world is complex and changeable.
If someone leaves the operational system of society for a while, society will quickly fill their gap. Even if they return later, they can’t go back to their original position and must carve out a new one.
Once the ’death of Huang Ban Sanlang’ becomes public knowledge and everyone knows,
everything belonging to Huang Ban Sanlang will be swiftly cut off, crushed, and disappeared under society’s wheels.
Factions will be liquidated.
Resources will be divided.
Contacts will be reset to zero.
By then, even if Huang Ban Sanlang rises from the grave, returning from the realm of the dead, there will be no place for him in this world.
Because he has truly suffered societal death, leaving fear in the minds of others. People will only celebrate his death.
The world ruled by capital will unhesitatingly abandon those with no utility value. No matter how powerful Huang Ban Sanlang was, he was just a person, not a deity possessing extraordinary power, and only those who enforce the power can succeed.
Lord Huang did not lose a single soldier, the fortress was impregnable, and his control over Goose City was more stable than Huang Ban Sanlang’s.
But when his fake self died in front of everyone, Lord Huang’s reign quickly ended, and even his chief henchman, Warrior Champion, was the first to lead a rebellion.
Even if Huang Ban Lai Xuan fails in the end, aside from the Oracle, Huang Ban Sanlang still has backups, and by using various contingency plans to possess Lai Xuan, he can only replace Lai Xuan’s position, never returning to San Lang’s. No other director will regurgitate what they have already eaten.
Huang Ban Lai Xuan pondered.
"So your meaning is..."
"Host a grand funeral for him, the bigger the better, let the world know the local emperor of Huang Ban is gone."
This would surely cause significant impact and weakening of the Huang Ban Corporation, inciting conspirators to eagerly prepare to carve out a piece of Huang Ban, now without its backbone.
But it doesn’t matter,
Because Lai Xuan decided to team up with Lin Miao having already prepared for a major conflict.
Not afraid of you coming.
After thinking it’s reasonable, he nodded and said,
"Okay, let’s do as Mr. Lin said. After I clear out his lackeys and completely control Huang Ban, I’ll fully support your war efforts in Cuba."
Lin Miao turned around to remind him,
"And don’t forget to timely dispose of Huang Ban’s assets in Europe. This isn’t the past anymore, everything of Huang Ban is now yours; we can’t be supplying the enemy."
Once Huang Ban is clearly positioned in the Force Field, those assets in Europe will inevitably be frozen and confiscated, controlling economic discourse is that dominant.
Then, he took out a signal receiver and handed it to Huang Ban Lai Xuan.
"This is my company’s network firewall. If any problems occur, you can connect it to the internal LAN, and my top hackers will handle everything for you. Also, when you return to Huangban Tower, plug it into the Oracle subsystem, and I’ll take my share."
Horizon Corporation’s network technology in Night City is the best.
Lai Xuan did not refuse and did not ask the other party how to receive signals across continents but chose to accept.
"Okay."
————
Chiba City, Japan
This was once the pinnacle of global medical and genetic technology, and the core asset of all Huang Ban-controlled territories.
Also, another Night City.
Or perhaps an even more terrifying city than Night City.
