Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Saeed: Hehehe, I remember Xiao Hao told me before that this is called getting something for nothing. I didn't sell Xiao Hao's information. Talking about things from before doesn't count as selling, right?

"But it can't be too far in the future; there has to be some useful information."

Demulan also specifically reminded him that he hadn't realized before that Said seemed honest on the surface, but he was actually quite cunning behind the scenes.

Sayed: This isn't cleverness, it's clearly about maximizing profits. You don't understand, you're just spreading rumors. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation. I'm just an honest farmer, and I never thought that people would make malicious assumptions about me.

"It's a deal, right? I'll give you some recent clues about Xiao Hao, and you give me a helicopter for the dam. By the way, is it an armed helicopter?"

Hearing that Said was still haggling with him, Demulan almost couldn't help but punch him again. "Damn it, you want an armed helicopter with just an expired clue? Dream on!"

"What are you thinking? He's just a scout, take him or leave him."

After listening, Said nodded. It was alright for reconnaissance, after all, it was a helicopter. Then he began to think about what he should tell Demulan.

Suddenly, Said had a flash of inspiration. Wait, didn't Xiao Hao stay with Rometheus for a few days? If he remembered correctly, Rometheus knew Demulan, right? So… maybe he could pin the blame on Rometheus!

Said: Holy crap, I'm a genius! I have to get Xiao Hao and the others to praise me properly when I get back. Not only did I get the problem to Rometheus, but I also managed to get a reconnaissance helicopter for free from Demulan! I'm truly invincible.

"Ahem, let me tell you something, but don't tell anyone else, okay? You know, Xiao Hao and I are very close. This time, I've really gone against my principles..."

Demurean, impatient with Said's rambling, pulled out a card and said:

"Alright, stop arguing. There are 100 million Haff coins inside. Hurry up and tell me."

"Alright, actually, Xiao Hao had some contact with Rometheus a while ago. I think you know Rometheus too, right? You can just go to him and ask him, and you'll know everything."

After saying that, Said eagerly took the card from Demulan's hand, carefully wiped it, and put it back in his pocket.

Demulan was stunned. What?! Xiao Hao actually had contact with Rometheus? That bastard Rometheus hadn't mentioned it to him at all. What did that mean?

When did they first make contact?

"A few weeks ago, I think."

When Saeed received the money, he was all smiles. He chuckled. It was a whole million! He wondered if he could afford the hybrid rice that Xiao Hao had mentioned to him, and whether he could even grow it here.

Moreover, with this million, the living standards of the residents of the entire dam area will be improved. Although the dam is still far inferior to Longbow Valley in Reis, Said believes that as long as they are willing to keep working hard, they will soon catch up with Reis.

Reis: No, no, no, Said, you're too naive. I admit your hardcore playstyle is admirable, but I can just use cheats. What are you going to do against me? You should just wait until I become the Lord of Cinder in Asara and then come and be my general. I'll even help you upgrade the dam then.

Demulan wondered if Rometheus had done anything strange a few weeks earlier.

“A few weeks ago… he seemed to have found [Zero]. Could it be that Xiao Hao and [Zero] have some kind of connection? It seems I really need to go to the Tower of Babel someday. It seems that this Rometheus is hiding a lot of secrets from me.”

Seeing Demulan standing there lost in thought, Said decided not to disturb her any longer. He took a card and prepared to leave with millions. Before leaving, he threw a handwritten business card at Demulan's feet. Now that the money and supplies had arrived, he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Said: Wuhu, I need to find a secluded spot to call Xiaohao and share the good news. We won this battle with almost no losses, but it's still a bit unsatisfying.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take all the supplies away. And get a few people who know how to drive that tank, drive it back to the dam. You're one of Reis's men, right? Have someone guard this place. This will be your territory from now on."

Chapter 290 Zhang Hao: So that's how valuable I am!

"No, I need to go back and call Rometheus right now. Just how much has that bastard been hiding from me?"

When Demurean came to her senses, she saw the "homemade" business card that Said had placed in front of her. After sighing, she picked it up and put it in her pocket.

"Sigh, Said is really something. Is he afraid I'll renege on my debt? I'm a high-ranking executive in the Hafk Group, okay? How can he be so distrustful?"

Demulan shook his head. This Said just threw his business card at him without asking for one in return. Wasn't he afraid of not being able to find him? It seems he's too simple-minded.

Said: Your information has already been sold out by Rometheus. There's no need for your business card at all. It's not even gold-plated or anything, it's worthless. If you really want to renege on your promise, I'll just ask Xiao Hao to give me the number, and I'll let that foul-mouthed Reis curse you to death.

Demulan also turned around and walked back to the troops she had brought, and began to organize preparations to return to the space base.

“Ms. Demurean, what were you doing when you shut down communications? I used the Skynet system to see what you and Said were talking about.”

After Demulan reconnected to the communication system, Mary's voice came through the earpiece. Demulan had suddenly disconnected from her, which had made Mary very anxious. She was afraid that Demulan might do something rash and go to fight Reis and Said one-on-one at the same time.

Upon hearing Mary's incessant greetings through the earpiece, Demulan offered a brief explanation. As for inquiring about Zhang Hao, Demulan naturally kept it a secret. After all, he had essentially misappropriated public funds for his own private affairs. However, in the Asara region, he was in charge of this matter, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to write a letter to Mr. Jacob to report him.

"By the way, Mary, later you can send someone to fly an outdated reconnaissance helicopter that's about to be scrapped to Said's place. I'm very satisfied with this operation; this is the reward I promised him before."

After thinking for a while, Demulan came up with a legitimate excuse. After all, he couldn't just tell Mary about his previous deal with Said. Although he knew that Mary respected him now, who knew what would happen in the future?

As for the reconnaissance helicopters that Demulan mentioned that were about to be scrapped, they were not actually broken down. Rather, a batch of newly developed helicopters had recently been delivered from the headquarters of the Hafk Group, so these helicopters that were left here would be taken back and put to use.

Saeed: Good grief, you're saying I'm being cunning? Well... fine, you never said you were honest or anything. Anyway, I've been getting everything for free, so there's nothing more to say.

After hearing this, Mary immediately gave the order. In her opinion, Said's performance must have been so outstanding that Ms. Demulan had to pull him aside to praise him. Otherwise, why would Ms. Demulan have asked her to send a reconnaissance helicopter directly to their dam?

"Alright, we can call it a day now. Let's retreat and head back to the space base."

Demulan's Chariot: Well... I have to go back soon. Sigh, it seems my activity area is still limited to the launch zone and the garden. I came here and did nothing but run back again. Was it all just physical training?!

After arranging things on-site, Sayed went straight to a secluded corner, took out his phone, and called Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao answered the phone within seconds.

"Hey, Uncle Said, you've got everything sorted out?"

At this moment, inside the hotel by the dam, Zhang Hao was comfortably sunbathing on a lounge chair by the pool with Shen Lan, while Shen Lan was calmly reading a book.

As for Veelong and Roy... After learning yesterday that they couldn't have a match with Said, Veelong, who was itching to compete, set his sights on Roy, who was swimming in the pool wearing bright red shorts, this morning. And so, the two of them started a match.

"Of course, Xiao Hao, you should know who personally took charge this time. It's just that the process... was a bit unexpected. Oh, I'll tell you about that when I get back. I just ran into Demulan, and I used the information about your contact with Rometheus to get a reconnaissance helicopter in return!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao sat up in surprise. Was he really that valuable now? Could such a piece of information really be exchanged for a reconnaissance helicopter from Demulan? And if he revealed something even more explosive…

"But Xiao Hao, that old woman Demulan has ulterior motives towards you. She wanted you to be her son-in-law before, and I thought she was joking. But, well, I chatted with her for a bit today, and she's serious, Xiao Hao! You absolutely can't go out alone anymore, understand? If you want to hang out with me, you have to bring Roy along at the very least, okay?"

Zhang Hao: Ah...........Become Demoulan's son-in-law? If I upset her daughter, will I end up with two holes in my head tonight?

Demulan: Xiao Hao, what nonsense are you talking about? If Camie bullies you, just tell Mom. Mom will teach her a lesson tonight. You'll get the best treatment from Mom. If my Camie can find you, she'll be lucky to have met you!

“I understand, Uncle Said. When are you coming back? Sister Sophia came here before and asked if you were in any danger this time. I’ve already dealt with it for you. You should call her later; she’s very worried about you.”

Said quickly nodded in agreement. Sophia... next time Reis brings Hamk over, let her vent properly. After all, she's been incredibly strong after what happened.

Hamk (soon to be tortured version): 666, what do you all think I am? I am, after all, a hero of Asara (self-proclaimed). You are insulting a leader. A man can be killed but not humiliated. If you have the guts, then kill me.

Said immediately called Sofia to say that the operation had gone very smoothly and that he could take her to get revenge on Hamk next time.

"Yes, Saeed... thank you, please come back soon... we'll wait for you to come for lunch."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

End of Chapter 291

After hanging up the phone, Said looked up at the soon-to-be-transformed Ouroboros neighborhood and the ancient castle. He thought that things would get better here after Reis took over.

"Brothers at the dam, take your luggage, let's go."

Said addressed the soldiers who were still moving things, saying that the matter of dealing with the territory should be left to Reis's soldiers, and that he was going back for lunch with his things.

"The squad leaders should begin counting heads. Are there any casualties on our side this time?"

Seeing the crowd beginning to assemble in front of him, Said ordered the captains of each squad to begin counting the number of people and casualties in their respective squads.

"Reporting to Commander Sayid, three people have minor injuries, the rest are fine."

After the count was completed, Said smiled and said, "Good, not a single person was left out. It seems his ability to lead troops is really strong."

Soldiers: Uh...you mean, Commander Said, you and Reis jumped right onto the battlefield and started reaping kills together? That's really awesome.

But seeing those familiar faces around them, everyone happily followed behind Sayed, boarded the bus, and headed towards Dam Zero.

Especially since they came by car this time, and three tanks followed them back. This sudden replenishment of resources has even made the usually low-key Saeed a little arrogant. Keep in mind that all of this has happened at the dam in just six months.

Now that he has acquired Hamk's high-tech tank, he should be able to protect the people at the dam.

“Commander Sayed, there’s something I haven’t told you.”

Just as Sayyid was about to get into the vehicle, a head popped out of Hamk's large tank, and a soldier said to Sayyid:

"What is it? Tell us quickly, we're about to leave."

"It's Hamk's tank. It can be driven, but all the weapon modules are locked. We can't use it without unlocking them. We can only drive it around to intimidate the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Said realized that the soldiers were unaware that Hamk had been taken to Reis for emergency treatment. If all they needed was a password, he could simply tell Reis when Hamk woke up.

"You need a password, right? I'll take care of it. Let's go back first."

"Yes, Commander Saeed."

Seeing Said's calm and composed demeanor ahead, the soldiers all became his "little fans," staring at him with starry eyes, making the somewhat "socially awkward" Said feel embarrassed.

"Ahem, don't look at me. When we get back, everyone will be the star. I've already asked someone to prepare a celebration banquet for everyone. Just have fun!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Sayed led everyone back to the dam.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Meanwhile, Barton, who had just transported Hamk back for emergency treatment, saw his boss Reese being carried back on a stretcher by two soldiers, his backside sticking out.

"Hey Patton, that idiot Hamk is already in surgery? Damn it, I hope the doctor is quick, otherwise what if my ass heals on its own while the bullet is still inside?"

Patton: Huh?????????

"Boss Reese? Who shot you in the butt this time? Is it serious?"

Looking at the seemingly nonchalant Reis in front of him, Barton had already formed a vague guess in his mind, but he decided not to say it in front of Reis. If Reis got upset, he would probably be the one to be punished again.

"Look at me like this, do you think I'm still that idiot? Damn it, besides that bitch Demulan, who shoots my ass with her crappy pistol every day, who else would be so shameless?"

Upon hearing this, Reese became so angry that he started cursing Demulan's family and berated her for her extremely embarrassing behavior.

Patton: But... when Boss Reese got shot in the butt by that white-haired brat, it wasn't like this, was it? If I remember correctly, Boss Reese was calling for help from the doctor. Speaking of which, that white-haired brat's sniper rifle damage was something else. Boss Reese had to rest for a long time.

Reis: Tsk, hiss~~~~ Do you think there's a possibility that the damn white-haired brat was just trying to annoy people because of that damn bullet? You're still complaining about me now. If you had been shot, do you think you could have run back? I'd admire you if you could even move on the ground. You really think that was a joke?

But... seeing that Reese was still in the mood to lie on the sofa humming a tune and playing on his phone, Barton couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. His boss's physical condition was truly superhuman. You know, even if an ordinary person was shot by a gun like that, they would still have some reaction.

But judging from Reese's condition, Barton felt that Reese could easily run several laps around the Diamond Queen Hotel, do his own strength training routine, and then lie back down as if nothing had happened.

Just as Patton was still daydreaming, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from a soldier still in Ouroboros neighborhood.

"Hello, this is Patton. What do you want?"

"Hey, Captain Barton, Saeed and Demulan have already retreated, and we've almost finished cleaning up the scene. We're waiting for further instructions."

"Wait, wait, wait! Demulan and Said have both retreated. They didn't clash with them, did they?!"

It was only at this point that Barton realized the seriousness of the situation. His own boss had been stabbed in the backside by Demulan, yet they weren't turning their attention to him? Was this really the Demulan he knew?
