"Well... does that really matter?" V asked, puzzled after hearing Su Xiao's concerns.
It wasn't as if they'd never gone up against a corporation before.
Redwood Psychiatric Hospital...
And ambushing Biotechnology's Director of Research and Development in the Badlands...
Going up against a corporation wasn't that scary.
They just had to keep it quiet and make sure no one traced it back to them.
"What worries me is that Dexter's big job might involve Arasaka..."
Su Xiao hadn't told V and Jack every last detail of Lucy's secret.
But he had let slip that Lucy had some history with Arasaka.
V and Jack were both mature adults.
One hint from Su Xiao, and they understood immediately.
"How about you wait in the car, Lucy?"
"That'll be safer. The three of us can go meet Dexter. If it doesn't involve Arasaka, we'll call you."
Lucy didn't insist on having her way.
She knew they were all looking out for her.
She nodded understandingly.
And stayed in the car.
"Come on. Let's go meet Dexter."
The three of them went downstairs and entered the Afterlife.
They found the private room Dexter had rented.
Unlike Rogue, he hadn't rented a booth out in the main bar.
Instead, he'd rented a spacious room behind it.
Standing outside was Dexter's bodyguard and driver, whom Su Xiao had met once before.
Just as Su Xiao remembered him, he recognized Su Xiao.
When the three approached, he stepped aside. "He's waiting for you inside."
Dexter sat on the sofa in the private room, his obese body like a mountain of flesh.
The sofa sagged deeply beneath his weight of over three hundred pounds.
When he saw the three of them enter, his fleshy face immediately filled with smiles.
"Mr. Su, Miss V, my man Jack. Welcome."
