"You're absolutely crazy!"
V was gripping Alex Carter's clothes tightly, her face pale with fear.
With this exposure, she and Jackie were definitely in deep trouble!
Alex took a deep breath and said softly, "Trust me, I won't trick you."
After speaking, he gently freed himself from V's grasp and walked out from behind the TV wall.
"Hello, Yorinobu Arasaka, let me introduce myself: Alex Carter."
At this moment, Alex showed no signs of nervousness at all.
Yorinobu Arasaka, looking at Alex with a smile on his face, glanced at Saburo Arasaka's corpse on the ground, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You kill my father, and you still want to..."
"Stop, stop!" Alex hurriedly interrupted Yorinobu.
"Let's not jump to conclusions. I recorded the whole process."
Hearing this, Yorinobu Arasaka frowned slightly: "So you're planning to threaten me?"
"Not at all. I just want to discuss cooperation with you," Alex grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Heh..." Yorinobu smiled contemptuously. "Cooperation? Do you have any bargaining chips that are worth my time?"
"If it's just based on the video you have, let me assure you, you have no chance of uploading it online!"
Yorinobu's voice was icy cold. He despised the feeling of being threatened.
Alex smiled and shook his head: "I'm not here to be rude. I'm not unfamiliar with you, Yorinobu Arasaka."
"Heh... Go on."
Alex put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Although you are the heir of Arasaka, you've long disliked Arasaka's methods."
"As far back as 50 years ago, when Johnny Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower, you realized that a real bomb couldn't end the filth and evil of Arasaka."
"If one Arasaka Tower falls, another will rise."
"So you want to turn yourself into a bomb."
"Am I right?" Alex looked at Yorinobu Arasaka with a smile.
At this moment, Yorinobu's expression turned from disdain to horror as he looked at Alex!
These thoughts, he had never shared with anyone in over fifty years.
Who was this mysterious man named Alex Carter?
"Continue..." Yorinobu said solemnly.
Alex nodded and crouched beside Saburo Arasaka's body.
"There are still many obstacles for you: the board of directors of the entire Arasaka Group, and your sister, Hanako Arasaka."
Hearing Alex mention his sister, Yorinobu frowned slightly.
"Of course, I know this; it's not your place to remind me."
"But there's one more thing you don't know," Alex's smile widened.
"Your father, Saburo Arasaka, is not dead."
"What did you say!?" Yorinobu, who was already seated on the sofa, stood up again.
Then he quickly walked over to Saburo Arasaka's body.
"You don't have to look. This body is indeed dead, but before that, he uploaded his consciousness data to the Oracle."
"And you, in the future, will become the container for his data consciousness, resurrecting him once more."
Alex's voice was incomparably calm.
It seemed that this shocking revelation was nothing unusual to him.
Yorinobu, listening to these words, could no longer remain calm.
He didn't have much doubt about Alex's claims.
It could even be said that he had suspected this before, and now Alex had confirmed it for him.
The two were silent for a while, and finally, Yorinobu, who had composed himself, looked at Alex seriously and said, "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
"That's more like it." Alex's smile brightened.
He sat on the sofa and slowly poured himself a glass of champagne.
"It's very simple: I'll help you eliminate the threat of the Oracle so that Saburo Arasaka won't leave a trace."
"Hmph, that's easy to say." Yorinobu sat dignified on the other side of the sofa.
Alex shrugged and said confidently: "I know that only Hanako Arasaka has permission to enter the Oracle."
"The computer room is even located farther away on the orbital space station."
"But so what? I have my own way."
Hearing that Alex was so familiar with Arasaka's top secret, the Oracle, Yorinobu frowned.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Then what do you need me to do?"
Alex looked at the golden liquid in the glass and pointed to Saburo Arasaka's body with his toe:
"It's simple for you: just blame this mess on Militech and use it as an excuse to go to war."
For a moment, Yorinobu looked at the leisurely Alex and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.
With such a relaxed tone, he spoke of something so horrific.
Did he know what it meant for the world's top two military enterprises to go to war?
"You don't have to look at me like that." Alex took a sip of the champagne in his glass and continued:
"In fact, you would do it even without me, right?"
Yorinobu clenched his fists tightly.
Although he appeared to be only about thirty years old, he had actually lived for over seventy years.
For many years, he had never experienced the terrifying feeling of being completely seen through, not even by his father.
This man, who seemed to be only in his twenties...
Who was he!?
