"Jackie's talking about Yorinobu," Alex Carter, relying on his familiarity with the plot, inserted himself into the conversation.
"Yorinobu Arasaka gave up his original glory and wealth and chose to engage in gangs."
"Actually, his attitude towards the Arasaka Corporation is similar to Johnny's."
"It's a pity that they don't see eye to eye." Alex shrugged.
In fact, he only really learned this when he chose the Arasaka Demon ending in the third playthrough.
Although Yorinobu is exaggerated, he is also very contemptuous of the various dirty actions of the Arasaka Corporation.
So much so that he wants to turn himself into a "bomb" and completely destroy the "Arasaka Tower" standing in the world.
Instead, it was his sister, Hanako Arasaka.
On the surface, she seems accommodating, but in reality, she is an out-and-out company loyalist.
In Johnny's words, she's a white-faced b**ch.
Hearing Alex's words, Jackie was a little surprised: "Yo, you really understand me well."
And V keenly picked up on something from Alex's words.
"From what you're saying, you know Yorinobu well? And... who is Johnny?" she asked suspiciously.
"It's not important—you'll know soon enough. Speaking of which, T-BUG should have cracked the ICE soon, right?" Alex smoothly changed the subject.
As soon as his voice fell, the pupils of V and Jackie lit up slightly, and T-BUG's communication rang in their minds.
"Okay, let's continue to work; the security on the top floor has been dealt with."
Jackie's face lit up: "Perfecto (very good), it's our turn to play!"
V also stood up and said to Alex in a warning tone: "You'd better not get any funny ideas; I'm watching you."
Alex waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm on your side, let's go."
With that, Alex led the way out of the room.
The three entered the elevator without any hindrance.
"How about a little chat? Let me tell you a joke," Jackie said suddenly.
Hearing this, Alex rolled his eyes.
The coldest yellow joke in the whole game was coming.
"Listen, why did the rock musician get kicked out by his girlfriend?"
"Because he couldn't perform an encore," Alex replied weakly.
Honestly, when he first heard Jackie's joke in the game, he was embarrassed to death.
V: "..."
"Hahahaha... you actually know it, nice." Jackie patted Alex's shoulder vigorously.
"Cough, let's not talk about that now; there are a few things I want to explain to you first," Alex said seriously.
Seeing that both of them were focused on him, Alex said solemnly, "Please tell T-BUG."
"Have her open the TV wall in Yorinobu's room now, and she should leave her current position immediately after we get the chip."
"As for the two of you, if you have anything that can record video, get it ready."
Although they had some doubts about Alex's request, since these actions didn't seem to affect their original plans, the two nodded.
Just after finishing these, the elevator finally arrived at Yorinobu's room on the top floor.
Jackie looked around and said, "Hmph... Arasaka's heirs sure live well."
"You won't be in the mood for talking later; get the chip," Alex said as he quickly walked toward the bedroom.
Looking at Alex's back, V was momentarily stunned and then muttered to herself, "The chip is on the other side, why is this guy going to the bedroom?"
"Who knows?" Jackie shrugged and walked towards where the chips were hidden.
"There, under the floor," T-BUG said in a deep voice. "Look for the switch..."
"Crack..."
A soft sound interrupted T-BUG's words.
The secret compartment with the Relic slowly rose.
"How is it, is it turned on?" Alex's voice came from the bedroom.
Only then did V, Jackie, and T-BUG react.
It turned out Alex had gone to the bedroom to find the switch.
"Damn, this guy is pretty reliable," Jackie laughed.
"Stop joking around, plug into the personal link and we'll send it."
T-BUG's voice in the channel was filled with barely contained excitement.
Seeing that everything went smoothly, Alex came over whistling.
"Well, this is for you."
"Huh? This is..." V looked at the pistol in Alex's hand with surprise.
Isn't it said that you can't carry weapons into the hotel?
"This is Yorinobu's gun—King Kong, keep it for self-defense."
Seeing the smile on Alex's face, V hesitated for a moment but then accepted King Kong.
At the same time, her wariness of Alex decreased significantly.
After all, giving her the only self-defense weapon in this situation showed that Alex didn't have malicious intentions, at least for the time being.
"Thanks..."
Just as V's words left her lips, a bright light suddenly flickered outside the window.
Two Arasaka drones and a floating car slowly passed outside Yorinobu's suite.
Seeing this scene, Jackie frowned slightly.
"There are guests in the air... BUG?"
"That's Saburo Arasaka's car; they're coming! We have to hurry up!" Alex's expression turned serious, and he urged them on.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two and T-BUG on the other end of the communication changed drastically.
