A Filial Gift

Chapter 833: 43. A Filial Gift

As the elevator doors slowly opened, a fully prepared squad appeared before Hanako Arasaka, Goro, and Oda Sandayu.

Hanako Arasaka saw no Arasaka insignia on this squad, but from the information she had obtained earlier, she knew they were on her side—they had used the contingency authority left behind by Arasaka Saburo to reach this floor through a private elevator.

Understanding that this was the team Goro had arranged, she turned her gaze toward him.

"Is this the escort team you prepared?"

"Yes, Miss Hanako."

Goro, carrying the suitcase containing the Micro Nuclear Weapon, nodded slightly. "Professionals have already been stationed at every key position, and my people infiltrated this floor in advance. But the guards currently at our disposal are indeed not as elite as the Ninja Hundred;

That team suffered heavy losses in the earlier chaos. While coming upstairs, I deployed their remaining members to the adjacent floors to assist with the defenses. As for this squad before us, they are an additional professional support group I hired. They were originally assigned below, but given the circumstances, I had them take over the Ninja Hundred's duties—so long as they are paid accordingly, their loyalty is assured."

"Loyalty to money? That will do."

Hanako Arasaka understood the shortage of manpower, but she still gave Goro another look over his decision to disperse the remaining Ninja Hundred to other areas.

From a purely tactical perspective, Goro's decision was beyond reproach.

An elite force like the Ninja Hundred would be wasted if kept together solely as guards, unless it was for a critical operation like rescuing her earlier. Yet considering that he had moved the ninjas away from the core area only after ensuring he had sufficient personnel of his own—his actions warranted closer consideration.
