Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

At this point, Claire also sent a question:

"Xiao Hao, why are you ignoring me?"

"Xiao Hao? Did you go to take a shower? Remember to reply to me when you're done!"

"Xiao Hao, I've been thinking, how about you take a picture of Luna and you together and send it to me later? I can look at it when I have some free time."

[Zero]: You bastard, do you even know you're using the Hafk Group's online chat system right now?

So, Zero, who couldn't stand it any longer, decided to personally step in and remind this woman who didn't seem to be very bright.

“Xiao Hao is no longer this account. This account belongs to me now. Also, stop using Hafk’s network to chat. We can find out everything.”

Claire: No! Where's my Xiaohao?! Was his account hacked?! That despicable hacker is so arrogant! I'm going to punish you severely.

"You account thief, this is clearly Xiao Hao's account. He added me by scanning the QR code. How could I be mistaken? You clearly stole the account and dare to say it's not Xiao Hao's. You even know about the Hafk Group, huh? You have some brains, but not many."

【Zero】: Sometimes being emotionless is indeed a good thing, for example, you won't get angry at idiots, it's just a bit speechless.

Zero, speechless, was also about to send Zhang Hao's current account information, but after thinking about it, he realized that Claire seemed to be using Hafk's network system, so he sighed helplessly and made a phone call to Claire.

[Zero]: Luckily, I'm different from those Black Hawk cyborgs, otherwise I would crash if I talked to this guy for even a few more words.

Claire, meanwhile, was frantically rubbing her fingers together on the screen with an excited expression. This account thief had certainly given her something to do! "Xiao Hao, let me protect you one last time before I leave!"

Just then, Zero called. Claire picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Hao calling. She could tell Xiao Hao about his account being hacked.

"Hey Xiaohao! You're calling just in time! I have something to tell you, your account has been hacked!"

“I am [Zero], not Xiao Hao. I'm giving you Xiao Hao's account now, so remember it.”

Claire's mind raced instantly. So... Xiao Hao dropped his phone and someone else picked it up? Is this person trying to use a fake account to scam her out of money?

If Rometheus weren't here, he would definitely be dragging Ella over with a bucket of popcorn to enjoy this gossip. It's really not easy to find such a simple-minded person in Hafk.

“No, you said you are [Zero]? You are the [Zero] who escaped from the Tower of Babel? I need to go and ask Rometheus.”

"No need to ask anymore, I'll go find him now and have him talk to you."

[Zero] impatiently interrupted the stupid woman. Good heavens, she had already called and revealed her identity, yet she still couldn't figure out the situation. She's truly unbelievable.

"Hey, explain to this woman named Claire that this phone is mine now. I can't reason with her."

Zero walked familiarly into the lab and found Rometheus and Ella still busy. After thinking for a moment, Zero handed the phone to Ella, since Ella was more reliable than Rometheus.

"Hello, this is Ella..."

So Ella began to explain the whole story to Claire.

Claire: So, when Xiaohao gave this phone to [Zero], did he completely forget about me? Waaaaaah.

Rometheus: Don't even mention it, Claire. Even I forgot about it, I only just found out myself, waa ...

"Claire, I'll give you a website later. It can bypass Hafk's network and contact Xiao Hao. You can add Xiao Hao later."

Watching Ella handle the situation with ease, Zero shrank to the side and began to doubt himself. Was there something wrong with his expression? Why was it so tiring to communicate with that stupid woman? Xiao Hao was much better; he could quickly build rapport with anyone.

Zhang Hao: Really? You won't think that way when they treat you like a cat to pet.

Chapter 256 Telephone

"Xiao Hao?! Is that you, Xiao Hao?!"

After a series of "complex" operations, Claire successfully got through to Zhang Hao on the phone.

"Claire? How did you get my number? Oh right, I forgot to tell you when I gave my phone to Zero."

Claire: Waaaaah, so love can disappear, right, Hao?

"Xiao Hao! Why didn't you tell me you gave your phone to that guy named 'Zero'? Do you know how hard I've been looking for you? You have to give me a reasonable explanation right now."

Zhang Hao chuckled awkwardly. If he told Claire that he had completely forgotten about her... it would probably be difficult to handle.

"Hey Claire, I just got back. I've got a lot going on and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I was planning to message you as soon as I was done."

Zhang Hao thought Claire wouldn't accept such a reason, but to his surprise, after listening and thinking for a while, Claire directly expressed her agreement.

Zhang Hao: I hereby declare that Claire is the best sister. I have never met anyone so easy to please in all the time I have been in Asara. She even has to cook a delicious meal for Roy to appease him.

"Waaaah, Claire, you're so kind. I was wrong before, but is there something you need from me?"

Upon hearing this, Claire began telling Zhang Hao about her upcoming long-term mission, which was to a place without internet access and communication with the outside world. She wanted to let him know in advance and also ask for a few photos of him and Luna as souvenirs.

"Oh, are we about to go on a mission? Will it be dangerous?"

Zhang Hao asked with concern, after all, the missions sent by Hafk were usually not easy, and it was a long-term mission in a place without signal. Zhang Hao couldn't help but worry about his adopted sister.

"Xiao Hao! Hey, who are you talking to on the phone? Is it Saeed?"

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen barged in with Luna. Just as she was about to drag Zhang Hao to log in and play games, she found that Zhang Hao was on the phone. When Zhang Hao saw Luna, his eyes lit up, and he then ruthlessly "expelled" Mai Xiaowen.

"Xiaowen, I have something to say to Luna in private. Could you please go out for a bit and come back in after we've finished talking?"

"Oh? It seems Xiao Hao wants to have some private 'whispers' with his gentle older sister. Mai Xiaowen, didn't you hear me? What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and get out, and remember to close the door behind you."

Mai Xiaowen: (╬▔Pan▔)╯

"Little Hao Hao, is there anything I can't listen to? I won't leave until you give me an explanation."

Mai Xiaowen was also furious at Luna's provocation. Good grief, does she really think she's a "gentle and intellectual" older sister? Pah! She's just an unwanted older single woman, yet she keeps flaunting herself in front of me. She even needs to buy a cosplay outfit to seduce Xiao Hao. Unlike me, I'm naturally beautiful, and Xiao Hao likes my type.

"Xiao Hao, did someone come over? I think I just heard you mention Luna. Is she... right next to you?"

Claire, on the other end of the phone, could vaguely hear Luna's voice. For a moment, Claire was filled with thoughts. She recalled the times when she and Luna practiced archery together, and how she would always drag Luna to eat barbecue with her after practice, even though Luna didn't like barbecue.

"Sister Claire, wait a moment, let me take care of things here first."

"Claire?"

"Sister Claire?"

Luna and Mai Xiaowen both showed different expressions after hearing Zhang Hao mention "Sister Claire".

Mai Xiaowen: Oh, you little rascal, Xiao Hao, you're such a womanizer! Weren't you kidnapped? How come you've met a new older sister? Aren't the three older sisters in the Special Operations Department enough for you?

Luna: Claire? Is she on the phone with Xiaohao right now? I... I want to say a few words to her, but what should I say?

"Mai Xiaowen, you can go out first. I'll handle things here."

Mai Xiaowen stared in surprise at Luna, whose face instantly turned serious. Goodness, Luna had never been to China, had she? She hadn't expected Luna to be able to change her expression like that. It seemed she was still at a disadvantage because of her young age.

"Why?! Aren't you curious about who this Claire Xiaohao is talking about is? And why are you so serious? Do you know her? Stop joking around, okay?"

“I do know her. I need to say a few words to her. You go out and keep watch at the door for me, so that Roy doesn’t sniff around and come over to eavesdrop.”

Mai Xiaowen's face froze instantly. Oh no, was she really going to be the victim this time? Although she was very reluctant to stand guard at the door, looking at the "serious" Zhang Hao and Luna in front of her, Mai Xiaowen could only sigh, then slunk out and closed the door behind her.

Mai Xiaowen: Damn it, it's still summer, but why am I so cold? Ah, if I don't sleep with Xiaohao tonight, I'll definitely freeze to death.

"Hey? Xiaowen, why are you sitting at the door of Xiaohao's room with your shoulders covered? You look... are you cold? It's okay, I have a bottle of unopened medicinal wine here, it's from your China, you can have a couple of sips of this if you need it, it'll warm you up in no time."

At this moment, a passing Uluru saw Mai Xiaowen sitting helplessly in front of Zhang Hao's door. He kindly went over to check on her, then produced a small bottle of wine from somewhere, placed it in front of Mai Xiaowen, and hummed a little tune as he went back to his room.

Mai Xiaowen: Xiaohao, you'd better think about how you're going to make it up to me while you're still inside. Your sister is hard to coax. I won't forgive you without three... five kisses.

Inside the room.

"Xiao Hao, is that Claire on the other end of the phone?"

Zhang Hao looked at Luna, who seemed both eager and somewhat fearful, and nodded. Then he said to Claire:

"Sister Claire, it's just me and Sister Luna in the room now. Do you want to talk to her?"

"Yes! Of course I want it! Quickly give the phone to Luna, I have so much to say to her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao handed the phone to the somewhat flustered Luna and said:

"Sister Luna, Sister Claire says she misses you terribly, please answer the phone."

Luna tremblingly took the phone. She had been searching for Claire's whereabouts, but Zhang Hao brought not only information about Claire, but also the fact that the power outage she had caused had almost ruined Claire's future. Now, Luna was somewhat afraid to face Claire.

"Hey, Claire... how have you been lately?"

Chapter 257 I am a gaming genius!

Luna took the phone from Zhang Hao with trembling hands. When she held the phone to her ear, all the words she had wanted to say beforehand vanished. She had so many things she wanted to say, and she wanted to ask Claire why she left her a letter and then suddenly disappeared, and why she didn't discuss things with her more.

"Luna! It really is you!"

Claire, on the other end of the phone, was pleasantly surprised to hear that familiar voice. Being able to talk to Luna one last time before going to prison was a relief.

When Luna heard Claire's cheerful tone on the phone, the huge weight that had been pressing on her heart was finally lifted. Claire was alright, that's good.

"Claire...why did you accept Hafk's plan without consulting me? There were clearly safer options available."

After saying this, Luna was also stunned for a moment. It seemed that... she was the one in danger. If she hadn't lost power during that operation, perhaps Claire wouldn't have only had the option of installing Hafk's artificial spine.

"Claire... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

When Luna thought about how Claire might have lost her chance to stand up again if that experiment had failed, her sadness welled up and she covered her mouth, crying as she apologized to Claire.

"Luna? Luna, you're crying? Oh dear, why are you crying? I'm still alive, aren't I? You can't stand to see me doing well!"

Claire panicked when she heard Luna crying. Why was she crying all of a sudden? Shouldn't she be attacking her with her usual sharp tongue? Was she just too happy?

“Claire, the power outage during your surgery was something I deliberately did during my mission. I… I didn’t know you were undergoing Hafk’s surgery inside. I… I was really afraid something would happen to you. If Xiao Hao hadn’t told me about it when he came back, I really wouldn’t have known. I… I’m so sorry, Claire.”

Claire was stunned for a second or two. Good heavens, was Luna responsible for the power outage during her surgery? What a coincidence.

"Alright, Luna, look at you crying like this, it's not like you at all. Alright, alright, look at me now, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Oh right, you can't see it, but never mind, you'll see it next time you have a chance. Besides, I should thank you, I guess I've turned misfortune into blessing, this Hafk artificial spine is much better than I imagined, I can practically call myself a superwoman now."

Hearing Claire's still nonchalant attitude, Luna was almost amused by her. What did she mean by turning misfortune into blessing? She had almost been brought to the point of collapse by her own actions, and now she was comforting herself. Hajik, you rascal.

"Hey, are you feeling better? Don't try to act all girly in front of me, it makes me sick. If you still feel guilty, then next time if I accidentally get caught by you guys, just sneak over and let me go at night."

"Hey Luna, let me tell you, when I got to Hafk, the leaders here really admire me..."

Zhang Hao watched as Luna quickly transformed from a tearful girl into a spectator. Judging from the current situation, it probably wouldn't end anytime soon, so Zhang Hao quietly turned on the computer next to him.

"Hehehe, xxxx starts!"

Meanwhile, Mai Xiaowen, who was squatting outside with a bitter face, was idly scrolling through her phone when suddenly there was a ding. Mai Xiaowen thought it was just some trivial message and was about to swipe it away, but after glancing at it, she stormed back to Zhang Hao's door and started banging on it.

"Xiao Hao! Are you guys done yet? My phone is sending me a signal and it says you're online. What's with keeping your sister Xiaowen out? You think I'm in your way? You've run out of love, haven't you? Xiao Hao, say something!"
