Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

The guard also said:

"Yes, I understand, Boss Reis. I will definitely train harder in the future. You can start performing now."

Reese: Damn it, did I use too much force? How come it doesn't feel like it moved at all? It's just a big box of gold, right? I really don't believe it.

"Holy shit!!!!!"

Seeing the guard's expectant look, Reis gritted his teeth and slightly moved the oversized safe.

Guard: Oh no, Boss Reis looks embarrassed! Should I say I didn't see anything? Can I go back now?

Reese: Damn it, that bitch Audrey got me stuck back then. What did she want with that whole box of gold? I had nothing better to do than put it all in a safe. I think I'm going crazy. Damn it, I must have talked too much with Said. No, no, I should go to the dam less often in the future.

"Ahem, well, I'm not feeling well today. Did you not see anything just now?"

Reis coughed awkwardly twice, then looked at his sweating bodyguard with a murderous expression.

"No... Lord Reis, I didn't see anything, really I swear, I've had an eye disease since I was a child."

Before he could finish speaking, the guard was interrupted by Reis:

"Alright, alright, stop arguing with me. Go get someone to bring you a bag. Damn it, I'm going to compose music, don't bother me!"

After saying that, Reis quickly walked to another room. Luckily, he only lost face in front of one person. It's okay, it'll be easier to deal with in the future, hehe.

The guard quickly summoned several of his trusted men, who brought sacks to collect the large pile of gold.

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

"What? This was sent to me by Reis?"

In the manager's office in the east wing, Said stared blankly at the large bag of gold in front of him, looking incredulously at the guard who had come to deliver it.

"Yes, Boss Reis asked me to pass on a message to you: as his general, what kind of nonsense is it to be so poor? Use this money to buy some equipment and such, and once his Longbow Valley is rebuilt, we will go together to attack Hamk."

Said stared blankly at the bag of gold worth 500 million, then turned to look at Sofia, who was also somewhat dumbfounded, and nodded to the guard to indicate that he understood.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Said, our boss Reis told you not to ride your old bicycle to Longbow Valley anymore. He said it's embarrassing for him to see it. If you really don't have the money, just call him and choose a new one!"

"Ah?! Then... then please thank Reese for me, I'll consider it."

Said: Huh? Where did this Reis make his fortune? Wasn't he going to get beaten up by De Moulin? I remember Xiao Hao telling me that their house was bombed? How come his money keeps increasing despite all the bombings?

Reis: Bro! Don't you know what protagonist's halo is? Huh? It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, your big brother won't forget to help you rise to prominence. When I become the emperor of Asara, you'll be my great general guarding the frontier!

"Do you think this guy Reis dug up Asara's old royal tomb?"

Upon opening the bag, Sayed was nearly blinded by the sheer amount of gold inside. He said he had never seen so much gold in his life.

"No, no, I need to tell Xiaohao the good news. I should call him!"

Saeed also excitedly took out his phone to call Zhang Hao, but it showed no signal.

"Huh? What's going on? Is the signal that bad on Xiao Hao's end?"

Chapter 216 Your Old Man?

Meanwhile, on Zhang Hao's side...

"Come on, this is your room. Hey? Xiao Hao, what's wrong? Is something off here?"

Inside the Tower of Babel, Rometheus brought Zhang Hao to his and Ella's dormitory, which was arguably the best place to live in the entire Tower of Babel. Ella had even thoughtfully hung a label on each door, and Zhang Hao also saw a room opposite his own with the word "Zero" written on it.

"Huh? Me? I was just wondering if they would worry about me if I just came here to stay like this. I was thinking of sending them a message to let them know I'm safe or something."

Rometheus: Oh my god, what a sensible child! He even knows to inform his parents, unlike my [Zero], who would run away from home at the slightest disagreement. Isn't it good to be here? Seriously, if you stay for two more days, I'll install a Relink brain-computer interface to make you an "invincible" good child. Seriously, I don't know who he took after for this temper.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, Xiao Hao. Just think of it as a vacation here. We Hafk aren't some terrorist organization, we won't confiscate your phone or anything. Oh, right, I also need to prepare a phone for [Zero]. Let's leave it at that for now. Just tell me or Ella if you need anything. Do you need a charger? Check if Ella has one in the drawer. I have some things to do, so I'll be going now!"

Zhang Hao: Huh? Wasn't I captured? Oh, I wasn't a prisoner after all. Oh well, I need to check if Xiaowen and the others have restored the internet.

Upon arriving at the new room, Zhang Hao immediately checked for any hidden cameras or similar devices. After finding nothing amiss, he took out his phone and began trying to contact the Special Operations Department.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Hao reluctantly put down his phone and lay down on the bed like a salted fish. Since he couldn't get in touch with anyone and couldn't let them know he was safe, he might as well continue being a salted fish.

Now that he was bored, Zhang Hao thought of Rometheus's appearance before and couldn't help but joke with [Zero]:

"[Zero], why did you run away before? I thought Rometheus was quite nice to you, right? Look, there's even a room specially prepared for you over there, and I even benefited from your help with that Relink brain-computer interface and stuff!"

In the realm of the mind, [Zero] pursed his lips and said helplessly:

"Hey, do you really think I developed my physical abilities through training?"

"I know, didn't you say that Rometheus used to give you those kinds of needles?"

[Zero] Recalling the extreme pain after each injection, he frowned and said:

"You know, there are no shortcuts to anything. The pain I felt was unbearable for ordinary people. At that time, I had the idea of ​​escaping. Also, when I was soaking in the nutrient solution, I heard this man say that everything was ready and that we could start preparing to install the Relink brain-computer interface on me."

"Huh? Did you think that installing a Relink brain machine would be very painful?"

Zero nodded silently. There was nothing he could do. Rometheus had injected Zero with a lot of reagents to give him a superhuman physique, which had somehow made the emotionless Zero feel fear.

Rometheus: But why did you run away just when you'd finished all the suffering and were about to start enjoying the sweetness? Oh dear, my kid seems to have a bit of a problem with his brain!

【Zero】：Damn it, why didn't you tell me sooner, Old Biden? (╬▔皿▔)╯

"Don't worry, as Sister Zoya told me before, pretending to relink your brain is like giving you a minimally invasive surgery. You'll be fine after a nap. Yeah, 9527, how many more points do I need to upgrade?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that he had promised [Zero] that he would rebuild his body. All his hopes now depended on how many surprises 9527 could bring him. He wondered what the Level 4 shop would give him.

"At your current pace, you'll be able to level up in another week! This system has thoughtfully prepared a special gift for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zero glanced coldly at the ball of light, number 9527, and asked in a low voice:

"Wasn't this compensation specifically prepared for me? When did it become compensation specifically for Xiao Hao? Are you trying to scam him?"

9527 blocked Zhang Hao before [Zero] even finished his first sentence. Oh dear, he almost gave himself away. If Zhang Hao knew he'd secretly stolen so many of his points...

9527 quickly shook her head. No way Xiao Hao doesn't want her anymore! ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜

"Shh! Shut up right now, you almost got me killed, you bastard! What do you mean by 'got Xiao Hao killed'? This is a ritual I give my host, you know? You have no sense of romance. If you leak what I'm telling you again... Hmph, you can wait until Xiao Hao reaches level 5 before giving yourself to him!"

[Zero]: Oh. (? o_o)?

Meanwhile, Rometheus arrived at the office and eagerly began ordering his Black Hawk team to search for Zero's whereabouts in Asara around the clock. He wanted his son to learn from Xiao Hao, because the difference in skill was only apparent through comparison.

Rometheus: Damn it, the thought that such a lovely child was discovered first by that old woman Demulan... ugh.

Demruyn: (Playing with the North Star in her hand) Oh? You dare call me an old woman? I don't think I'm that much older than you, do I? And you're not the one who made me look like this, are you? Hmm? Speak! Look me in the eye, you little brat!!!

Rometheus: I'm sorry, I was wrong. ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

Ella shook her head as she watched Rometheus get busy. She had let Zero wander around outside for so long without any concern, but now that he's seen someone else's child, sigh! Look at him, he's panicking now. Let's see if he can find the child now that he's in such a hurry.

"Are there really people who look so alike?"

Ella took out an old cell phone and scrolled to a name she hadn't contacted in a long time, but after thinking for a while, she put the phone away.

"Sigh, forget it, let's not bother our senior sister anymore. She's already gone to GTI, it's better to contact her less. Yeah, let's get Xiao Hao a new phone. Let's go, this Rometheus is making too much noise here."

Chapter 217 Detective Demulan

The next day, at the space base.

“Ms. Demouran, here are all the documents that require your approval for the redevelopment of the industrial zone.”

Unlike Rometheus, who was preparing to happily search for his son, Demulan felt that it would be easier to go to Longbow Valley and kill that damned Reiss than to sit in his office.

Demulan: I should never have come here as a security director. These guys have turned me into a nuclear-powered bull. If my Relink brain-computer interface breaks down one day, I'll just die right here.

Rometheus: No, no, no, one slacker like me is enough for the entire Hafk Group. You should just stick to being a hard-working corporate slave. If your Relink brain-computer interface breaks down, I'll get you a replacement immediately, so don't worry. (～o￣3￣)～

"Okay, put it there, Mary. Also, Mr. Richard is about to hold a meeting, go and send a message to the higher-ups."

Just then, Demulan's phone rang. Demulan picked it up and looked at it. Oh? He didn't expect it to be that woman Audrey calling. What could she possibly want from him at this hour?

"Hey, Audrey, is there something you need?"

Demulan was always wary of Audrey, a woman with a rather cunning mind. After all, compared to Robert, that big fool, Audrey was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Nameless: Oh? A venomous snake lurking in the shadows? And what am I now?

"Hey! Ms. Desmulan, Miss Audrey... is dead!"

Upon hearing this news, even someone as powerful as Demulan was so shocked that his Relink brain shut down. What?! Although Audrey's position wasn't that high, she was still a genuine high-ranking member of Hafk! Whose subordinate was so brave that he could kill a high-ranking Hafk member right under her nose?

"What?! Explain yourself! Audrey is dead? How is that possible?"

On the other end of the phone, Audrey's former butler sobbed uncontrollably as she spoke:

"I...I noticed my young lady hadn't left the house all day, so I tried knocking on the door to call Miss Audrey out, but after knocking for a long time, there was no response. Then...I tried to push the door open, but found it was locked. I tried to use the key, but discovered the door was locked from the outside. When I went in, Miss Audrey was lying on the floor, dead."

After hearing the butler's words, Demulan's head was throbbing. He already had a ton of trivial matters waiting for him on the table, and now this major accident had occurred! And it seemed that Audrey's death wasn't even a natural one.

"Never mind how she died. You protect the scene now, and I'll take some men there right away."

Demulan hung up the phone immediately and fixed his gaze on Rometheus on the screen.

Demoulin: Hey bro, let's do some cosplay! I'll be Sherlock Holmes, and you can be my Watson. (～￣▽￣)～

"Hey? Demulan, what the hell do you want now? Let me tell you, I'm not doing any work. I haven't even finished dealing with the satellite debris on my own side yet!"

When Rometheus saw the call from Demulan, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Demulan's information network is that powerful? He had only brought Zhang Hao here the day before, how did she know? No, no, it could be something else.

“Audrey is dead. I need you to help me investigate.”

Upon hearing this, Rometheus's eyes lit up, and he jumped up amidst Zhang Hao's bewildered gaze, saying to Demulan:

"Really? Audrey is dead? That's great... I'm so heartbroken. Where's Robert? Is he with Audrey?"

Demulan was also speechless at Rometheus's outrageous statement. If this call record were to be leaked, he and Rometheus would probably die ten times over!

"Get serious. This time, we don't know who assassinated the top brass of Hafk. I've already asked Audrey's nanny to secure the scene. You take your Blue Eagle helicopter directly there. I'll be there soon."

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed yet! What the hell, is this some kind of forced sale?"

Rometheus was about to refuse, but to his surprise, Demulan had already hung up the phone, leaving Rometheus with no right to refuse.

"Um... Xiao Hao, I probably can't take you for a drive today. I have work to do, and I need to fly the helicopter there. How about next time you have some time, I'll let you fly my Blue Eagle helicopter yourself?"

Rometheus looked at Zhang Hao awkwardly. Just a few seconds ago, he had said he would take Zhang Hao for a ride in the Blue Eagle helicopter. He never expected that he would be proven wrong so suddenly.
