Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 92

“You know what? I knew from a very young age that people are different. Those people whose organs I sold, were they still human? No, no, no, in my eyes they were no different from livestock, like pigs that were raised. When they reached a certain age, they were to be taken to the slaughterhouse. Their only purpose was to bring me money, and I would then use that money to gain a higher status. That was their value. Tell me, why should I regret it?”

The nameless man calmly observed Audrey, who seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and asked his last question:

"How could you say all this to me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell others? If these words were to be spoken internationally, even if Jacob wanted to protect you, he wouldn't be able to."

Audrey stared intently at the nameless man and chuckled:

"Why? Haha, oh dear, I've already got the medicine. You don't still think we're partners, do you? Take one last look at this world, this will be your final destination."

Nameless glanced indifferently at the woman before him, whom he considered "completely hopeless," sighed softly, shook his head, and walked to the window, saying:

"Your men can't stop me. Besides, what I just gave you wasn't an antidote, it was just another kind of poison. Let me see, you probably have about 3 minutes left to live. The signal in this manor stopped working the moment I turned off the computer. I've also thoughtfully locked the door for you. That's it, you can go to hell now!"

After saying that, under Audrey's horrified and angry gaze, Wuming climbed over the windowsill and went outside. He even "gentlemanly" closed the window and then disappeared from Audrey's sight.

Audrey hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie from her pocket, intending to call the Hafk soldiers she had prepared beforehand, but as the nameless man had said, all she could hear from the walkie-talkie now was static.

She mustered her strength and stumbled to her feet, then went to the door, trying to open it. However, the door was locked from the outside, and Audrey couldn't open it from the inside. So she wondered if she could knock on the door and ask someone to open it.

But suddenly Audrey felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which caused her to collapse to the ground, her legs giving way, and blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Audrey was truly panicked. The fear of death haunted her mind. She thought about how she had finally managed to compete for a position on the board of directors, and how much she had done, but that damned Montbell had tricked her. This guy thought the same thing as her; he had no intention of letting her live!

Driven by a strong will to survive, Audrey struggled to her feet again, coughing up blood as she staggered to the window, attempting to climb out like Nameless. However, as the poison began to take effect, accompanied by intense dizziness, Audrey found herself lying on the ground when she opened her eyes again.

"Am I... going to die? I... I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

After she finished speaking, Audrey's vision went black, and she died in immense pain at her private estate in Asara.

After dealing with the Hafk soldiers that Audrey had gathered at the manor, Nameless glanced at his watch and muttered:

"Won't you regret it? Even Jesus wouldn't forgive a woman like you."

Chapter 211 Huh? A wild, white-haired boy?

Rewind to the moment the satellite exploded, in Baksh, above the Tower of Babel.

"Hey! See that over there? Hurry up and blow it up before it touches my Tower of Babel! Hey, watch out, there are so many of them, hurry up and blow them up!"

At this moment, Rometheus was furiously yelling at the pilot in the Blue Eagle helicopter, while also cursing Demulan, that scheming woman, in his heart. He had always regarded her as a model colleague, but now this girl had caused him such a big problem.

As Rometheus watched the satellite debris flying towards him from the sky, he felt like dying.

Rometheus: Ah! Damn Demulan, you just wait. If I see the boy you want, I'll bring him straight to my Tower of Babel. You won't be able to take him away without paying 1 million Haff coins.

Under Rometheus's "professional" command, it took 10 minutes to shoot down all the satellite debris around the Tower of Babel. However, the residents of Bakshi living nearby were not so lucky. Although Rometheus ordered a few more satellite fragments to be destroyed, there were too many of them, and many buildings in the city were destroyed.

"Ella, take some people to the city later to do a survey and try to compensate them. Also, put the debt on Demulan's account; this wasn't my fault."

Watching the thick smoke billowing from Baksh from the plane, Rometheus instructed Ella to take supplies to compensate the poor residents of Baksh as much as possible. They had done nothing wrong, yet they were constantly losing—losing their land, their loved ones, their lives…

"Sigh, let's go back. The Relink brain-computer interface for children isn't fully debugged yet."

Rometheus lost interest in enjoying the scenery from the plane and told the pilot to turn it back.

"Doctor, one of the targets has been identified. Should we apprehend him?"

At that moment, Black Hawk suddenly sounded an alarm, then addressed Rometheus to a rapidly advancing squad below.

"Hmm? Ella, bring me that telescope under your feet, I want to see who it is?"

When Rometheus brought the telescope and looked in that direction, he was surprised to find that it was none other than Demulan's long-cherished "good son-in-law"! Hey! He actually ran into him. Looking at the people around him, oh my, I didn't expect this kid to be from GTI!

Rometheus: Hmm~ Something's not right. If I remember correctly, Zoya was also a GTI, but it shouldn't be such a coincidence that she's in Asara, right? It shouldn't be!

"Hmm, let me see there are still 3 people around. It's not a big problem. Let's send Ella and me back first. Black Hawk, remember to be polite, okay? Take that brat into the Tower of Babel."

It's a pity it wasn't his own [Zero], otherwise Rometheus would have yelled a couple of times and ordered the pilot to fly the Blue Eagle helicopter over.

"Teacher, you clearly knew that the child was from GTI, so why did you still let Black Hawk and the others go and snatch him back?"

Ella followed Rometheus off the plane. When did her teacher dare to directly snatch someone from GTI? Was this still the Rometheus she knew?

Zoya, who was still waiting at the Special Operations Department for Nameless to restore communication, thought: Something's not right. I feel like someone has raided our base, but that can't be right. It should be... just my imagination.

Just as Red Wolf was leading Zhang Hao and the others out of Bakshi towards Dam Zero, the sound of a helicopter suddenly rang out above their heads.

This made Red Wolf and Mai Xiaowen immediately look up at the sky, where they saw a huge helicopter hovering above them. As the cabin door opened, two ropes were lowered down, and well-equipped Blue Eagle team members quickly slid down.

"What is this?"

Seeing that he was surrounded by these people, even Roy, who was usually a fun-loving person, became serious. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to get away this time.

"I don't know. It seems to be Hafk's men. Why did they surround us? Could they have mistakenly thought we were responsible for the rocket explosion at the space base?"

Mai Xiaowen, looking very wary, drew the information throwing knife from her waist, shielding Zhang Hao behind her, and whispered to him:

"Xiao Hao, if a fight breaks out later, don't worry about me, just run away, okay? Go to Said's side and get reinforcements."

Red Wolf looked at Black Hawk at the front and asked with a serious expression:

"Whose side are you on? What exactly do you want? Is Hafk trying to break ties with GTI?"

However, Black Hawk didn't answer Red Wolf's question. Instead, he leaned over to look at Zhang Hao, who was being protected by Mai Xiaowen, and after comparing the data, mechanically said:

"Hand over that child, and you can leave. He's the person we're looking for."

Upon hearing this, Mai Xiaowen and the others frowned. Had they figured out Xiao Hao's identity? This seemed to be a bit troublesome.

"Evidence? What makes you say he's Hafk's man if you have no evidence?"

At this moment, the two sides were not on the same wavelength at all. Mai Xiaowen and the others thought that Hafk had realized Xiao Hao's identity and was now going to take him back. But for Black Hawk, this was just the kid that Rometheus had asked him to "invite" back. They wouldn't do anything else without inputting instructions.

But even so, the two sides miraculously engaged in a question-and-answer session, which seemed completely natural.

After arguing with Mai Xiaowen and the others for a while, Black Hawk directly ordered his men to point guns at Zhang Hao and his group. (Mainly because his conversation with Roy almost burned out their Relink brain-computer interface.)

"Either let me 'invite' this person back, or he dies."

Seeing a group of people pointing guns at them, Red Wolf and his companions broke out in a cold sweat. What could they possibly do in this situation? Moreover, these people were acting like robots, both in their conversations and actions. Could they not even negotiate now?

"Xiaowen, you guys retreat first, I'll go back with them."

At this moment, Zhang Hao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke to Mai Xiaowen and the others, who immediately stopped Zhang Hao from having this dangerous idea.

"No, Xiao Hao, don't say things like that again. We won't abandon you. We'll go together."

Zhang Hao shook his head and said:

“Their target has always been me. Besides, if we fight them to the death now, our chances of winning are almost nil. Rather than that, it’s better for me to let you leave in exchange. And Zero told me that if I return to the Tower of Babel, I will definitely be safe, so don’t worry!”

"But.........."

"Xiaowen, believe me, I will be back soon. Zero told me that my position in the Tower of Babel is special, and the leader there won't make things difficult for me. You can go back now!"

Chapter 212 I've arrived at the Tower of Babel?

"Xiao Hao, are you sure what you're saying is true and not just to comfort us? Don't worry, if I want to leave, I'll fight them to the death and bring you back."

After Red Wolf finished installing the hand cannon, he looked at Zhang Hao and asked seriously.

"Don't worry, Uncle Red Wolf, I won't be reckless. This is what [Zero] just told me. You guys should retreat first and not make unnecessary sacrifices here."

"No, Xiao Hao, I will definitely take you back."

Seeing Zhang Hao's earnest gaze, Roy and Red Wolf exchanged a glance, nodded to Zhang Hao, and began to persuade Mai Xiaowen, who still refused to give up.

Mai Xiaowen: Bullshit! Even if it's safe, Xiao Hao has been kidnapped! That little white fluffy guy in the Special Operations Department is gone! What am I going to do when I'm lonely at night? My little Hao Hao, you can't leave! If you have to go, take me with you! (;???Д??`)

"No, how about this, I'll go with you too. If something happens to me, Red Wolf, you'll have evidence to punish Hafk and the others!"

Mai Xiaowen stood directly next to Zhang Hao, as if she wanted to walk together, which moved Zhang Hao so much that he almost dropped his little pearl.

But Black Hawk simply said:

"We don't need you. You're useless and we'd have to feed and care for you. Our only target is him."

Mai Xiaowen's face froze. Damn the AI's speech! She was so close to winning over Xiao Hao!

Then, under Mai Xiaowen's reluctant gaze, Zhang Hao approached Black Hawk. He looked at Mai Xiaowen and the others, then asked Black Hawk:

"What are you going to do with me? Will I ever be able to get out?"

"I don't know, I'm only responsible for 'asking' you to go back."

Seeing this, Zhang Hao didn't say much. He waved to Mai Xiaowen and the others before being taken onto the plane by Black Hawk.

"No!!! Xiao Hao, wait for me! You have to hold on! I'll go back and bring people to rescue you!"

Mai Xiaowen could only watch from the ground as Zhang Hao was taken onto the helicopter and gradually disappeared from her sight.

"Let's go, Xiaowen. I know you're feeling bad right now, but we're all in the same boat. We need to hurry back and check on Shenlan and the others. Then we'll come back here together to rescue Xiaohao, understand?"

Seeing Mai Xiaowen's distraught appearance, Roy scratched his head and decided to try his hand at being a psychological counselor, but judging from the results... it didn't seem to be very good.

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

"You said your name is Zhang Hao, right? Come here, let your uncle take a look."

At this moment, Zhang Hao had already arrived in front of Rometheus. After hearing how Black Hawk had "invited" Zhang Hao over, Rometheus put on a show of "workplace bullying" in front of Zhang Hao. Halfway through the fight, he even turned around and asked Zhang Hao if he wanted to join him.

Ella: How embarrassing! This old lecher made me lose face in front of others.

"Um... did you tie me up here to use me for experiments?"

Looking at the little boy staring at him expectantly, Rometheus quickly shook his head:

"Oh, how could that be? How should I put it? I used to have a big son, you know? He looks a lot like you, just not as cute as you. But not long ago, this guy ran away from home, and I still haven't found him. So, just think of it as him visiting me. I was thinking that once I find him, it would be better if he had a friend here to keep him company."

Zhang Hao: Huh? The person who ran away? How old is he? Me? Have I really changed that much?

[Zero]: I have never admitted that this seemingly dim-witted person is my dad. Should I take his place and run the race again to show him right now?

"Ah? Um... how about I go back now, and come back after you find your eldest son?"

Upon hearing this, Rometheus exclaimed, "Wow! This boy is quite clever!"

"Of course... no, no, that's not right. It's not that I'm forcing you to stay, Zhang Hao. The one who really trapped you here is actually a vicious old woman. You know, she's the one who held a knife to my neck and forced me to keep you here!"

Rometheus then began to tearfully recount all the evil deeds of Demulan to Zhang Hao, and then assured Zhang Hao that if Zhang Hao stayed here for a while, he could briefly get to know that hateful Demulan.

“Zhang Hao, oh no, Brother Xiao Hao, you’re my brother, so I’m counting on you for my sake. You can stay here for now. You can play with whatever you want here, like the training grounds and weapons. You can drive whatever you want, like planes and tanks! If I can capture [Zero], I’ll install a super brain-computer interface on each of you, and I guarantee you’ll be able to walk around like nobody’s business in Asara.”

Ella covered her face, not wanting to look at Rometheus anymore. The scene looked like a wicked uncle with ill intentions trying to trick a child!

"Ask the woman who's been standing next to Rometheus what her name is. I've seen her before."

Just as Rometheus was still painting a rosy picture for Zhang Hao, Zero suddenly stirred. He looked at Ella in the mental world and curiously told Zhang Hao to go ask her. Before he fell into a coma, he only knew these two living people. Although this woman wouldn't chatter on and on like Rometheus, she would come to the lab every day without fail to check his physical data. If he had any fluctuations, she would be there to solve the problem immediately.

"Hey pretty lady, what's your name?"

Looking at Ella covering her face, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel sorry for this poor working woman for a few seconds. After all, if his boss was like this, his subordinate must be very tired!

Ella: Waaaaah, bro, you know me. It's alright, but once Demulan assigns Rometheus any task, that bastard basically leaves it all to me. Waaaaah, being a working person is so hard.

"Ah, her name is Ella, my secretary and student. She'll arrange everything for you later, right, Ella?"

Looking at Rometheus blinking at her, Ella probably would have given him a good whack if Zhang Hao hadn't been there.

"Hello, can I call you Xiao Haoxing? I'm Ella. If you have any problems in Babel that you can't handle, you can come to me and I'll help you solve them."

Ella smiled at Zhang Hao and then said that he could come to her for help if anything happened here.

"Go away, Xiao Hao, if there's anything you can't handle, just come to me. She still has a ton of documents to work on. What are you looking at? I didn't say anything wrong."

Ella: Very well, Rometheus, you have found your way to death!

Chapter 213 Visiting the Tower of Babel

"Come on, little one, this is usually my office area. Let me show you around this Tower of Babel!"

Seeing that Ella was about to lose her temper, Rometheus quickly offered to take Zhang Hao on a tour of his Tower of Babel, and then pulled Zhang Hao away.

"Hmph, you've got your revenge, Rometheus. Tonight... no, you'll see. I'm quitting. I want to see just how many documents you can process in one night."

Ella watched Rometheus slip away, and she was so angry at this shameless guy that she gritted her teeth. What a great secretary! Why don't I have a secretary here who just plays around when there's nothing to do?! Damn it, he's infuriating!

"Come here, Xiao Hao, this is our medical area. My eldest son, Zero, was born here!"

Following behind Rometheus, Zhang Hao's first stop was the medical area of ​​the Tower of Babel. Zhang Hao was actually quite familiar with this place, having touched a resuscitation ventilator here in his previous life. (It's just that he later spent all the money on poverty alleviation projects.)
