Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

(Thanks to the amazing verification from 燛貲~ The boss is generous, the boss is as beautiful as a painting and as handsome as an immortal.)

……

The group walked on the road in the space base.

"By the way, aren't we taking a helicopter this time?"

The bee doctor stomped on the cement ground beneath his feet and gazed at the distant, faintly visible space city, asking in confusion.

Normally, whether going to the Zero Dam, Bakshi, or the Space Center, we would take a helicopter with completely blocked signals and parachute directly there.

This was his first time walking on a main road, and the feeling was... somewhat subtle.

Silverwing shook his head. "This is a serious business meeting. There's no need to sneak around. Using the main entrance shows our stance."

"Wow, going from a thief to a guest, this feeling is so strange..." the bee doctor muttered to himself.

He, Hajibe, disliked taking even a needle or thread from the masses, so every time he went to the aerospace industry, he was always eyeing their gold and red hairpins.

They run away at the sight of people and take whatever they can get. In some ways, they're not much different from thieves.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Wei Long was eager to try, his eyes were bright and his fighting spirit was high. "I've heard that there's an invincible Said at the space base. I really want to spar with him."

"Come on, practice? You'd be more suited to be his punching bag." Bee Doctor rolled his eyes. As one of the three people present who had seen Said before, he felt that Weilong challenging Said was just asking for humiliation.

Said? The Hunter?

Just kidding, that guy is a complete freak.

"Heh, you run away at the sight of people, do you even know what strength is?" Wei Long said dismissively.

Hagi Bee is good, but its personality is just... well, it doesn't care about the other person's strength; its first reaction is to spit ink and run away.

He felt that Haki Bee had exaggerated Said's strength. Even if there was a gap between him and Said, he shouldn't be used as a punching bag, right?

"Little... Claw, you've been to the space base too. Did you see Said? How strong is he?" He asked without turning his head.

In the next instant, his body stiffened, and he felt the temperature around him drop several degrees. His neck stiffly turned towards Mai Xiaowen.

But Mai Xiaowen remained unmoved, her eyes as cold as ice, like icicles covered in frost.

Wei Long instantly realized he had said something he shouldn't have. He was annoyed that he had made Mai Xiaowen angry, and he was also puzzled as to why Mai Xiaowen had changed her attitude just because Said was mentioned.

Among the crowd, Bai Kang shrank back; of all those present, only he knew why Mai Xiaowen was acting this way.

Finally, it was Silverwing who broke the eerie atmosphere, speaking in a deep voice:

"Said... I've met him before, and the feeling he gave me can only be described in two words: invincible."

He lowered his eyes, his thoughts drifting into memories.

"Back then, I entered the spaceport with Uluru, competing with agents from other countries for supplies, which led to me getting involved with Said. That was the first time I met Said, and then..."

Silverwing's lips twitched, as if recalling something painful.

"Then Uluru and I died, not just us, everyone died."

"Was it because you were fighting each other and Said got the last one standing?" Wei Long quickly asked.

Silverwing shook his head. "No, the moment we discovered Said, everyone chose to cooperate. Killing this master of the space base would have been strategically significant. But the result was that we all died, not a single one survived."

He stared at Wei Long and said sternly, "Wei Long, I know you have pride, but remember, never make an enemy of Said!"

There was complete silence; no one had imagined that Silverwing had such a past.

Bai Kang pondered for a while, but couldn't recall the corresponding memories... He had killed too many people; how could he possibly remember every single one?

"stop!"

Suddenly, a reprimanding voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, two soldiers dressed in Asara's uniforms walked towards them, carrying AKMs.

The moment they saw Asara's soldiers, everyone instantly went into battle mode, some drawing their guns, others casting spells.

Just as Mai Xiaowen was about to instinctively throw her darts at the two men, Silver Wing suddenly growled, "Don't move! Put away your weapons!"

This low growl made everyone realize what was happening.

Yes, we're here to discuss cooperation, so we can't kill Asara's soldiers.

Undoubtedly, the crowd's actions startled the two of them.

"Holy crap! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" one of them shouted into a walkie-talkie, ready to launch an attack on the group!

"Misunderstanding! Comrade, you've misunderstood. We have no hostile intentions!" Silverwing quickly explained.

"Misunderstanding? The gun's pointed at my face, what misunderstanding could there be? That woman, what are you doing holding that throwing knife? You're about to die and you're still trying to resist?!"

Silverwing quickly gestured to Mai Xiaowen to put down the throwing knife, then turned to comfort her, "It's really a misunderstanding. We were invited by Said."

"Boss? Impossible! How could the boss invite a bunch of outsiders like you! Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!"

Soon, a dozen Asara soldiers arrived, surrounded them, and pointed their guns coldly at them.

"The boss invited you? Ha, you? You think you're worthy of being invited by the boss?"

The leader, having learned the whole story, scoffed, always looking down on others. "Our boss is someone else entirely. Don't even mention you guys, even Hafk's boss isn't worthy of him."

Although this statement is an exaggeration, it illustrates that this person's worship of Saeed had reached a fanatical level.

"Men, take them away and await the boss's decision..."

As he was speaking, his companion suddenly tugged at him, and he said unhappily, "What are you doing?"

The man pointed at Silverwing and whispered something.

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? How could the boss possibly be—" His words stopped abruptly as he stared wide-eyed at Bai Kang in the center of the crowd.

He took a step forward, pushed aside Wei Long who was blocking his way, and stood in front of Bai Kang, staring intently at Bai Kang.

After a long time, something was finally confirmed.

He suddenly gave a military salute and shouted, "Greetings, Boss!"

Everyone else followed suit, shouting in unison, "Hello, Boss!"

His voice was booming, deafening, well... very energetic.

In an instant, all eyes fell on Bai Kang.

Feeling the burning gazes of his underlings and the shocked looks of his companions, Bai Kang's lips twitched. Especially feeling Mai Xiaowen's piercing gaze from behind, he explained:

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your leader." With that, he took off his mask, revealing his handsome face.

The leader paused for a moment, then scrutinized Bai Kang carefully for a while before shouting:

"I would never mistake my boss! Boss, my loyalty to you is as clear as day!"

The others shouted in unison again: "Boss! Our loyalty to you is as clear as day!!!"

Holy crap! Do I have radar or something? I was trying to hide my true feelings, how could they still recognize me?!

The gazes behind him grew increasingly cold, like blades, and Bai Kang felt his head was about to explode.

At this moment, Silverwing suddenly whispered, "Admit it first, then we'll talk once we get into the space base."
