Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

The three Red Wolves, far away at the space base: Hungry, let's grab a bite of dry rations! Ah! Why is this place so far away?!

Chapter 169 Ready to make a move

At this moment, Demulan is still fighting tenaciously against the brain-computer interface rejection reaction. And you know what? She has actually managed to train herself. Although she still gets headaches, she no longer faints from the pain like before.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Due to the intense pain he had been experiencing, Demulan was now completely drenched in cold sweat. After recovering, he was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when there was a knock on the office door.

"Ms. Demuren, there's an update from Reiss!"

Upon hearing that it was news about that bastard Reis, Demulan decided that it wouldn't hurt to listen to this happy news before taking a shower. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

"Well, come in!"

Upon hearing this, Mary pushed open the door and came in. When she came to Demulan, Mary found that Demulan was covered in sweat and his eyes showed an indelible fatigue.

"Ms. Demurean, is it... very hot in your office?"

Demoulin waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no problem:

“Mary, don’t worry, this is just a problem that comes with my age, it’s nothing serious. Tell me about Reis first, I’m quite curious.”

Upon hearing this, Mary excitedly told Desmoulins:

“Ms. Demulan, did you know? We received information today that around 11 a.m. yesterday, there was a massive explosion at the Diamond Queen Hotel where Reese was staying. His hideout was blown into the air! The radar station staff couldn't believe it at first and sent two teams to confirm before reporting back to us.”

Upon hearing this news, even Demulan, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, was surprised. Whose subordinate was this, so brave that he went straight to Reis's lair and blew up his house?

Demruyne: Although I really want to maintain my persona, I just... really want to laugh!

"Heh, I didn't expect anyone to make Reis suffer such a big loss. Oh, let me think... the last one with this kind of record is... Hamk, right?!"

Hamk: I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I always feel a chill in my butt.

“Ms. Demurean…”

"Alright Mary, I won't let that incident affect my current judgment. I'm the safety director of the space base now."

Demulan chuckled softly. When she had just undergone surgery and became neither human nor ghost, she was indeed affected. She wished she could tear Hamk to shreds and make him watch as she sliced ​​off pieces of her flesh and fed them to him to taste.

However, during her hospitalization, Kamil's meticulous care and Mr. Jacob's promises prevented Demulan from being consumed by hatred. As for Asara, she believed that this already rotten and dilapidated country should obediently accept the help of the Hafk Group. They could bring Asara vitality and hope, and all they needed to pay was the price of regaining land.

"Enough said. Time is running out. I want to see what excuse that guy Reis can use to fob me off. Mary, you need to start arranging people to prepare for a possible attack on Reis at any time."

Looking at the seemingly "omnipotent" Demulan before her, Mary felt that being able to work under her was the luckiest thing in the world.

“Yes, Ms. Demuren, I’ll go prepare right away.”

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

Demulan never imagined that the attacker was not Hamk, whom she suspected. Although Hamk was Asara's strongest backstabber, before he could make a move, Reis's hometown had already been bombed by GTI.

But you know what, our backstab king Hamke is actually already considering attacking Reis.

"Are you sure it was the Diamond Queen Hotel in Reis that was bombed? Half of it collapsed?"

Undeterred, Hamk asked the scout in front of him again.

"Boss, it's true, absolutely true! I went on patrol as usual today, but I found that the soldiers who usually guard the dock were all gone. I looked through my binoculars and saw that Reis's hometown was just a pile of ruins, half of it had collapsed!"

"But right now, besides me, who else in Asara has the firepower to keep that bastard Reis completely speechless? Could it be Hafk? But that doesn't make sense either, didn't they just sign a peace agreement not long ago?"

GTI: Damn, I feel like I'm being looked down upon by all sides. Why doesn't anyone think I have the ability? Who do they think they're looking down on?

"Boss, Reese is in a weakened state right now. Should we go and snatch what belongs to us back from him?"

Upon hearing this, Hamk, sitting in the tank, was immediately tempted. You see, the territory of Longbow Valley originally belonged to the old king, and Longbow Valley was considered the richest region in all of Asara. Don't be fooled by Bakshi's current economic prosperity; it's all thanks to the Tower of Babel built by Hafk. Before it was invaded by Hafk's group, that place was extremely poor.

"Hmm, go and take stock of our men. It's time to make that bastard Reis spit out everything he's swallowed up."

Hamk thought it over and over, but in the end he couldn't suppress his greed. It was Longbow Valley, after all, and he simply couldn't resist it.

"Yes, boss! I'll go right now."

The soldier was also excited and began to gather the captains to count the number of men. You see, one of the reasons why many people were willing to follow Hamk was that Hamk was using the name of restoring Asara. As a favorite of the old King Asara, many people believed that following Hamk meant following Asara's rightful ruler.

But while Hamk and his group were still thinking about finding Asara's old king and prince, Reis had already begun planning how to replace him and become Asara's new king.

In addition to the feudal management system of the old King Asara, the Asara Guard, headed by Yousef, could not continue to operate under this system. Now, through the connection with Said, Yousef has begun to understand how advanced China's people-centered development philosophy is.

Yusuf stared in disbelief as Said, who was supposed to be illiterate, spoke eloquently about the situation in Asara. He even doubted whether the Said in front of him was a fake until he couldn't help but exchange a few blows with him and ended up lying on the ground, confirming that this guy was indeed Said.

Yusef was also very curious about Said, the newly recruited strategist. He had thought of asking Said to introduce him, but Said flatly refused, saying, "Go find him yourself if you want. This one is mine," before riding his ATV back home.

Yusuf: You cheapskate, wait, I'll go find one too!

Chapter 170 Give it to me?

Amiya Town.

Reis, looking rather dejected, checked into the most luxurious room in the town, but it was still quite different from his king-size bed. However, Reis wasn't worried about that right now.

"Hiss~ Oh dear, could it be that idiot Hamk who bombed me? Damn, that idiot has quite a criminal record. Back then, even that old woman Demulan suffered at his hands and almost lost her life."

Reis has no way of knowing which faction was responsible for the explosion. If it was Hafk or GTI, he could just hand it over to Said to help his older brother take the blame. But what if it was Youssef or Hamk?

Yusuf: Damn it, who do you think you are? I don't respect this kind of thing. I will rely on the unity of the Asara people to defeat this damned Hafk in a fair and square way.

"Sigh, I don't have much time left. Damn it, I shouldn't have made that deal with that slut Audrey. No way, next time I have to raise the price, otherwise I'll lose out too much."

However, his current combat strength is only enough to barely defeat a newbie like Hamk (who doesn't even know he has a tank). If Said suddenly turns against him now, he'll have to consider whether he should run away.

"Never mind, I can't hold onto this Mandel brick anymore, I might as well just give it to Saeed."

Reis gritted his teeth, looking at the hot potato in his hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but after thinking about his current situation, he decided to throw this "bomb" to his "good brother" Said.

Reis picked up his phone, located Said, and after pondering for nearly two minutes, dialed the number.

"Hey? Brother Reese, what's up now? Are you looking to borrow some resources? Sorry, buddy, I'm broke right now. I'm even farming myself to supplement my income."

As soon as the call connected, Said started complaining about being broke to Reis, which made Reis's already dark face turn even darker. However, thinking that he would need to ask for help later, he forced himself to hold back.

"Haha, Saeed, you've become quite humorous now. I'm not so bad as to need to borrow money from you. I have plenty of money."

Upon hearing what Reis said, Said first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to speculate about why Reis had come to him this time.

"Oh, I see. So, what do you need my help with?"

Seeing that Said had responded, Reis didn't bother with beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"It's like this, Brother Said. Didn't I steal the Mandel Brick from Hafk before? Now I've just been through an explosion and I'm short-handed. That makes it easy for someone else to steal the Mandel Brick, right? Think about it, there's still Hafk lurking in the shadows who hasn't shown up yet."

"so..........."

"Oh dear, so now I need you to help me guard this Mandel Brick for a while, okay? You see, I can't possibly give this Mandel Brick back to Hafk, can I? You know, I really went all out to weaken Hafk's power."

"Huh? You're leaving it to me? The problem is, Rhys, are you sure I can keep it safe?"

Said never expected that Reis would actually consider handing over the management of the Mandel Brick to him. Even the usually honest and simple Said could smell a "conspiracy".

"Don't worry, Said, I'll take it back after I've settled things in Longbow Valley. Just do me this favor!"

What Reese didn't expect was that Said had been on speakerphone the whole time, listening along with Sofia. Said looked up at Sofia with a questioning gaze. With Xiao Hao not around, Said was unsure of what to do.

However, Sofia did nod to Said, indicating that she could take the Mandel brick first, since she would be fine if something went wrong and she lost it too.

So, with Reis waiting anxiously, Sayed agreed to take the Mandel brick over to help "keep it safe."

Having heard that Hamk might be up to something, Sayyid kindly offered a word of advice:

"Reis, you also need to be careful of Hamk. I heard he used to work with the Hafk Group. Damn it, that bastard has completely betrayed Asara. That traitor! The Hafk Group seems to have provided him with a pretty good high-tech tank. Be careful."

Reis: Working with...and the Hafk Group? ⊙﹏⊙∥

"Ah.............Okay, okay, thanks! I'll personally deliver this Mandel brick to you tomorrow, no, this afternoon. I really owe you a lot this time, brother!"

Reis nervously wiped his sweat and said, "Working with Hafk, I seem to be..."

But then I thought, wait a minute, I only have a collaboration with Audrey, this shouldn't be a collaboration with Hafk, right?

That's right, this is definitely not a collaboration with Hafk, otherwise they wouldn't have been suppressed to this extent.

After hanging up the phone, Reiss summoned several guards and ordered them to lay a row of landmines on some main roads in case someone took advantage of his current weakness to attack him from behind.

"Add a few anti-tank mines inside, you know? I remember we didn't use them all last time. Also, starting tomorrow, Longbow Valley will be completely closed at all entrances and exits. We'll talk about it again once things are back to normal."

After making these arrangements, Reis felt a little more at ease. After checking the time, Reis decided to take one last nap with Mandel Brick before handing him over to Said. Although he was reluctant to part with him, it seemed that keeping him in his hands now was of no use, and he was also likely to attract the attention of others.

Thinking of this, Reese once again silently cursed Audrey, that irresponsible and wicked woman, in his heart.

Meanwhile, Saidna also informed Zhang Hao that Reis was planning to send the Mandel bricks to him.

The Secret Service staff were shocked.

"Look, look! Didn't I say before that maybe one day Said would get his hands on the Mandel Brick himself? See? That's what a prophet looks like!"

Roy was smugly wiggling his butt, while Deep Blue and Zoya fell silent.

Deep Blue: Uh... it's that simple?

Zoya: Tsk, I didn't expect Reese to be such a coward, just throwing the blame onto Said.

Chapter 171 Waaaaah, He Scolded Me (Burst Update)

(Thanks to Cangxuan from the Yangtze River Delta for the generous update!)

"Well... what do we say now? It's not that I'm shameless, but I think it's not a good thing for Mandel Brick to be in Said's hands right now. You know, all the forces in Asara are eyeing this juicy piece of meat right now."

Roy honestly raised his hand to speak, and his statement received some approval.

“I think Roy is right. Although Said’s forces are indeed quite strong now, they are still no match for Hafk. I guess Reis is scared after being bombed like this once. You know, he is already weak. If he still tries to protect this Mandel Brick, it would be suicide. He knows this, which is why he thought of throwing this Mandel Brick to Said to help him share the firepower.”

Wei Long also gave a "professional" speech, which garnered even more support.

"So, Old Deng, what are you thinking?"

Zoya actually thought it was better not to get involved in this mess, but seeing that everyone else had said so, she turned to ask Deep Blue for his opinion. Deep Blue had indeed been exposed to this matter much more than they had.

"Let's see what Hafk does first. If it doesn't work, let's pass it on to the higher-ups to handle."

Zoya realized that her teacher no longer cared about such trivial matters. He always prioritized the safety of those around him, and if something was difficult, he would simply pass it on to those incompetent higher-ups to deal with. It seemed that his former sharpness had been taken away with age.

“Wylon is right. Reis is probably afraid that Hafk or other forces will take advantage of this time to launch an attack on his hometown. But you should know that Said’s information is only a few pages long in the Hafk Group.”

"Does that mean the Hafk Group won't take immediate action even if they know the Mandel bricks are in Said's hands?"

Zhang Hao asked curiously. He had witnessed the development of Dam Zero. He could only say that now, if Said didn't care about the economy, just looking at its military strength, weapons, food and other resources, it was already close to catching up with Reis, who was the king of Longbow Valley.

“That’s right. I know Demulan quite well. She’s very cautious. She wouldn’t attack Said’s Zero Dam without doing any investigation. This back-and-forth would buy her a lot of time.”

"Damn, this is something Reese could have come up with. I didn't think he was very smart before!"

Wei Long found it unbelievable; could that brute-force chimpanzee really have such a brain?

Reis: I'll say it again, I'm educated, I'm a college student, okay?

"Xiao Hao, tell Said to send someone to see what Hafk might do, and also to be wary of any other forces making moves. If they can't hold out, we'll immediately get involved and muddy the waters. Of course, the Mandel bricks will be our reward."

Shenlan also said to Zhang Hao that although he did not like Said, Said was very good to Xiao Hao, and if Xiao Hao wanted Asara to be free from the war, then Said was an indispensable part.

Zhang Hao also took out his phone and called Saiyid, repeating what Shenlan had said to Saiyid.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Xiao Hao. I, Said, won't act recklessly. Besides, we're not talking about any reward. If you want it, I'll send it to you as soon as I get it."

Reis: Waaah, Mandel, I'm about to lose you, I'm so unwilling, but don't worry, Said will treat you well. That idiot is so stubborn, as long as you tell him that protecting you will keep Hafk in check, he'll definitely treat you well.

Saeed: Oh, it's here. Hehehe, I'll give it to Xiao Hao.

While Zhang Hao and Said were on the phone, Shen Lan silently came up behind Zhang Hao and secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. After hearing Said's "yellow-haired" remarks, Shen Lan took the phone from Zhang Hao's hand with a dark expression.

“Said, I am xxxxxxxxx.”

Roy, who was watching the drama unfold, cautiously nudged Zoya and said:

"Holy crap, was Shen Lan like this before? I never expected him to be so different."

Zoya smiled dismissively. "What a joke," she thought. "Like teacher, like student. She's already in this state; how much better could Shenlan have been when he was young? It just goes to show how powerful the years are."

So Mai Xiaowen picked up Zhang Hao, Luna brought out some sunflower seeds, and everyone started watching a textbook-perfect verbal battle.
