As the atmosphere of the banquet gradually heated up, Hanako slowly stepped into the venue from the side entrance. She was dressed in an exquisite white suit, paired with a bright red tie, and this slightly neutral attire perfectly highlighted her powerful female image. Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and the air seemed to become more solemn with her arrival.
Hanako had a smile on her face as her eyes scanned the crowd, seemingly satisfied and happy to see so many guests in attendance. Her smile exuded confidence and charm, irresistibly drawing people to her. With elegant and confident steps, Hanako walked towards the stage, each step appearing firm and powerful, as if silently declaring her unshakable position in Arasaka Group and the entire Night City.
At this moment, V looked at Hanako in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a hint of complex emotions. He had his own dissatisfaction and anger towards Hanako, and his own opinions about her role and everything she played in Arasaka Group. However, at this moment, V also understood that no personal emotions should affect the overall situation of this occasion. He had to temporarily suppress his emotions and focus on his mission - to protect Hanako.
Therefore, V chose silence. He stood quietly in the crowd, observing everything around him, ready to respond to any possible situation at any time. His eyes were firm, and he exuded a secretive and powerful aura, as if silently telling everyone that no matter what happened, he would do his best to protect the responsibility on his shoulders. On such an important night, V was even more clear that his role was not just an ordinary guest, but an indispensable part of the future destiny of Arasaka Group.
Hanako walked slowly to the center of the stage, and all eyes naturally focused on her. The guests held their breath, filled with curiosity and anticipation, not knowing what the head of Arasaka Group would share tonight, or what important announcement she would make. The atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to freeze at that moment, leaving only Hanako shining alone on the stage with a calm and powerful presence.
In Hanako's ears shimmered a pair of golden large hoop earrings, which emitted a dazzling light under the spotlight, adding a touch of luxury and unique charm to her slightly neutral attire. The golden luster contrasted sharply with her white suit and red tie, further highlighting her presence and extraordinary status.
As Hanako stood still, the air in the venue seemed to flow slowly with her rhythm. She looked around, her smile calm and confident, then fixed her gaze ahead, ready to begin her speech. At this moment, Hanako was not only the representative of Arasaka Group, but also the focus of attention for the entire Night City. Every word she was about to say could potentially become a key influence on the future.
The guests' expressions shifted from curiosity to focus, each person ready to listen to the message Hanako was about to deliver. Whether for the people within Arasaka Group or for the other forces in Night City, tonight's words would be an important reference for their future actions. On such a night filled with variables and possibilities, every step and decision made by Hanako undoubtedly carried significant meaning.
As the venue fell silent, Hanako cleared her throat and began her long-awaited speech. Her voice was clear and resolute, every word filled with strength and conviction.
"Respected guests, tonight we gather for a common purpose - that is the future. First, I must mention a fact that has saddened us all, that is the passing of Mr. Arasaka Saburo, this great leader."
When mentioning Arasaka Saburo, Hanako's voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner sadness and reluctance. But soon, she regained her composure and strength.
"However, in the face of sadness, we cannot remain immersed forever. Although Mr. Arasaka Saburo's departure has brought us deep sorrow, his spirit and wishes will always be with us. As the current leader of Arasaka, I have the responsibility and determination to lead our team through this difficult period and create a brand new, beautiful future for Arasaka."
Her words were filled with courage and hope, allowing everyone present to feel the strong conviction from deep within her heart.
"Tonight, our banquet has brought together elites and dignitaries from all walks of life. I would like to take this opportunity to announce that Arasaka Group will embark on a new chapter. We are committed to establishing closer and better cooperative relationships with all of you present, including Kang-Tao, Knight, ZETATECH, KENDACHI, and other major companies."
Hanako's words not only express a beautiful vision for the future, but also convey Arasaka's sincere willingness to work together with all parties to create the future.
"Let us look forward together. Through cooperation and effort, we will open up an even broader sky. Thank you, everyone."
As Hanako's speech came to an end, the venue erupted in enthusiastic applause. The leadership charm she displayed and her unwavering confidence in the future moved every guest present, filling them with anticipation for the future of Arasaka Group.
Just as Hanako's speech concluded and the venue was filled with warm applause and a harmonious atmosphere full of positive energy, a sudden change disrupted the harmony. A man representing military technology burst into laughter without warning. His laughter at this moment seemed particularly jarring, like a sharp knife piercing through the pleasant atmosphere of the banquet, causing everyone's gaze to involuntarily turn towards him.
The man stood in the crowd, his smile carrying a hint of sarcasm and disdain, seemingly finding Hanako's hopeful and confident speech amusing, even laughable. His reaction at such a solemn and important moment undoubtedly appeared extremely disrespectful, revealing a deep-seated hostility or a different stance.
The surrounding guests were puzzled and uneasy at this sudden laughter, some even showing displeasure. A fleeting, indiscernible emotion crossed Hanako's face, but she quickly regained her composure, gazing quietly at the man with a high degree of self-control and professionalism, seemingly waiting for his explanation or further action.
This sudden change in the scene not only made the atmosphere of the banquet tense in an instant, but also made every guest present aware that, even in such a seemingly united occasion, there still exists an indescribable crack and opposition between Arasaka Group and its partners. The man who was laughing undoubtedly became a symbol of the hidden contradictions and conflicts beneath the surface.
