Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.
Page 160
Thinking this, Robert just smiled, made way for Rometheus, and watched him walk out of the conference room without a word. Before leaving, Robert saw Rometheus glance at Demulan with a displeased look, but Demulan didn't seem to want to pay him any attention.
"Demulan, please forgive any unpleasantness between us before. I hope we can cooperate well in the future. I think the supplies for the space base will arrive soon."
After speaking with Desmoulins, Robert turned around, picked up the safe, and walked out.
"Sigh, things should be a bit easier for the next while. I, the security director, can finally take a break. My son Kami is graduating soon, and I'm really looking forward to the surprises he'll bring me!"
Seeing that Rometheus and Robert, the two problem children, had left, Demulan sighed. So much had happened in the past few months. Fortunately, he now had Mary, a capable and efficient assistant. Otherwise, even if he were a superman with a Relink brain-computer interface, he would have been ruined.
Fortunately, it's all over now. Richard was an innocent victim, considering his advanced age, yet he still held a significant military position within the Hafk Group. It was only a matter of time before Mr. Jacob took action against him.
Fortunately, he was quite insightful and didn't dwell on it too much, otherwise...
Demulan believed that if Richard were to fight to the death with some of the others to protect the power he held, Mr. Jacob would not be lenient in that regard, and Richard might not be able to enjoy his old age in a peaceful environment.
In the end, a small box will probably be his final resting place.
“Ms. Demulan, Mr. Rometheus and Mr. Robert have already returned in their private cars. Mr. Robert also sent over a truckload of supplies. What do you think…”
At that moment, Mary knocked on the door and came in, saying to Desmoulins:
“Take it. If Robert hadn’t brought this whole truckload of stuff, I would have started to doubt if he was really Robert. Have someone take inventory of it. It’s most likely that he’s donated some of the materials we need for the reconstruction.”
Demulan explained, "Who knows if Robert studied in China for a while? He did learn some social skills, but he's still lacking in mindset and temper control."
Demulan said, "Kid, you still need to practice. I've known these things for a long time. Even Rometheus, whom he's always disliked, is better than him in this area. It's just that Rometheus has been getting more and more annoying lately. Even I, who am usually calm and collected, can't help but take Polaris and beat him up."
"Also, send back all those people Robert planted in our space base. Tell them that if they want to cooperate with me smoothly, they should try to be as clean as possible."
After giving these instructions, Demulan returned to his room. He checked the time; it was only 10 p.m. Now that he had nothing to do, he could finally get some sleep, something he hadn't done in a long time.
Mary: You've entrusted me with such an important task again? Don't worry, Ms. Demruyne, I will definitely complete the task perfectly. I will become the strongest secretary in the Hafk Group!!!
. . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . .
"I'm back!"
When Rometheus returned, he immediately found Zhang Hao and the others and began to complain bitterly about how that old woman Demulan was doing nothing right. She said that she bullied him every day because he was honest and kind. He said that he could have happily spent the night with Zhang Hao and his eldest son!
Zhang Hao: Huh? Uncle Rometheus, you're so honest?
Ella: Damn it, Rometheus, you're getting more and more shameless. You can say something like "be honest" without batting an eye. If you're honest, then where did Black Hawk come from?
【Zero】: Disgusting.
Seeing the three people in front of him giving him strange looks, Rometheus coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, and then said to Zhang Hao:
"Xiao Hao, you have to remember this: if you see that old woman Demulan outside, you must run away immediately! If she catches you, the consequences for a cute little boy like you are unimaginable!"
If Demulan knew that Rometheus was deliberately slandering her in front of Zhang Hao, she would probably bring her two little chariots to have a good "heart-to-heart talk" with Rometheus.
"So, according to what you said, tonight's meeting has absolutely nothing to do with you, right? But you still know the content of this meeting, so you should say less."
After Ella sorted through Rometheus's complaints, she came to the conclusion that Rometheus had only become a bystander this time, and it seemed that he had even been the one who got a few flak.
"Damn, do I need to know? To be honest, I can't guess what kind of agricultural science lab they're setting up, but I don't need to know, okay? As for impeaching Richard, I already guessed it the day Skynet was destroyed."
Chapter 330 Explanation
Hearing Rometheus say this, Zhang Hao and Ella looked over in surprise.
As for "zero"? Sorry, the child hasn't learned what surprise is yet.
"What are you looking at? You're questioning my intelligence, okay? Is this kind of thing so hard to guess? That's true, you don't know what kind of person Jacob is, but I do."
Seeing that even he was starting to doubt his own intelligence, Rometheus decided to stand up and speak out for his intelligence, explaining that he simply enjoyed playing with abstract concepts.
But how could you look at me like that? It really hurts me!
After saying that, Rometheus began to reason with the three people in front of him about why he had guessed all along why Richard's trip to Asara would be his last stop.
"Think about it, the Hafk Group does indeed set up a board of directors in each region to manage the senior management of that region, but why did Richard come at such a convenient time this time?"
After asking this question, Zhang Hao and Zero exchanged a brief glance before turning back to continue playing their game.
After all, from this point on, the two realized that they couldn't understand it at all, so let the two adults go and "cultivate" their relationship properly.
"Hmm? Is that a coincidence? I've almost forgotten when Richard came to the Asara region."
Even our equally "incredibly clever" Ella was stumped by Rometheus's question. When did Richard come here? She didn't seem to know at all.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you this before?"
Seeing Ella's expression, Rometheus was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really hadn't told Ella about it.
"Cough cough, it's nothing, it's not too late to tell you now."
Ignoring Ella's resentful gaze, Rometheus could only cough twice to ease the awkwardness. Was his memory starting to decline? He shouldn't have forgotten this, right?
“Do you remember the press conference for the Mandel Brick a few months ago? Just a few days before that, Richard brought the Mandel supercomputing unit that Jacob gave him to us.”
“Oh! Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember. It seems that’s true. Ever since Richard came to Asara, these unexpected events have been happening one after another.”
Rometheus nodded in satisfaction. "This child is teachable. It seems I won't need to waste my breath explaining things to Ella later."
"So you were making these deductions based on this? But you didn't know so many things would happen afterward?"
However, these alone cannot serve as direct evidence for judgment. Ella naturally did not believe that Rometheus could deduce this solely based on the frequency of accidents that occurred after Richard arrived in Asara.
"Why are you in such a hurry? If I could really guess it just from these things, wouldn't I be bragging? Think about it, the Mandel supercomputing unit, the new stuff coming from headquarters, I felt something was off right away."
"how do I say this?"
"Based on my understanding of Jacob, how could this guy be so kind as to bring out such a newly developed product? Of course, that's not the main reason for my judgment. The main reason I started to have doubts was when Wuming appeared."
"Nameless? Didn't he run away from the Hafk Group on his own? How did you make that connection?"
Ella couldn't keep up with Rometheus's train of thought for a moment. How did this suddenly lead to Wuming? Could there be some connection between them?
"Sigh, that just shows you're still too inexperienced. That's true, since you've been by my side ever since you graduated, it's normal that you don't know. Young man, you still have a lot to learn."
Ella, annoyed, slapped Rometheus, signaling him to hurry up and stop being so mysterious.
"You have to think about it. No matter how skilled Wuming is, it would be almost impossible for him to escape from the Hafk Group."
"So... what do you mean?"
"Don't forget, the Mandel supercomputing unit was stolen by Wuming. Aren't you even a little bit curious about how all of this... just makes so much sense?"
Under Rometheus's guidance, Ella gradually caught up with his line of thinking.
"But is Jacob really so confident that everything will go as he plans? You know, if Wuming hadn't stolen that Mandel supercomputing unit, wouldn't Jacob have just let him out for nothing?"
Ella was surprised that Jacob was so confident that everything would go according to his plan, which was something Ella simply couldn't understand.
"I think that since Jacob is so powerful, even if Wuming doesn't steal that Mandel supercomputing unit, he will probably arrange for someone else to do it. After all, if I were that powerful, it wouldn't be me going with the flow, but the flow following my ideas."
At this moment, Zhang Hao, who was playing games with [Zero], stuck his head over and said something.
Hearing Zhang Hao say this, Rometheus looked over with a face full of surprise. This brought Rometheus too many surprises. Even Zhang Hao, who did not know Jacob's true identity, could roughly guess. It seems that Ella's moral bottom line is too high.
Zhang Hao: Hmm~~~ Why do I feel like Uncle Rometheus isn't actually praising me? Is it just my imagination?
"Look, even Xiao Hao knows this much. Ella, you're still too naive. I've been too protective of you. You should know that even in the eyes of those at the top, these things that you think are impossible are just a matter of words."
"And not long after the nameless man stole that Mandel supercomputing unit, the major incident occurred in which Reis destroyed our Hafk Group's Skynet system. Ella, didn't you notice at the time that Demulan and I weren't too panicked when faced with such a big incident?"
"Did you already know that back then, teacher?"
Looking at Rometheus, who had suddenly become so impressive, Ella's eyes lit up again. This was the Rometheus she knew before!
"Of course, don't you even know who I am?"
Rometheus: Hehehe, actually Demulan had already given me some information back then. I had the answer in my hands, so why would I panic!
Chapter 331 Mandel Brick?
"Sigh, it seems like I don't know what will happen to Asara next."
Ella sighed helplessly as she considered the complicated situation. It seemed that before she came to Asara, Rometheus had told her that the conflict between Asara and Hafk was already quite serious.
Ella glanced at Xiao Hao, who was playing games with Zero, and her expression became somewhat complicated.
After all, although Xiao Hao's relationship with them was fairly good, if you really think about it, whether it was Saeed from Asara's side or GTI, their side didn't seem to have any advantage.
Seeing that Zhang Hao, who was still so young, was about to join this cruel and chaotic war, Ella could only sigh helplessly, even though she wanted to persuade him to join their Hafk Group.
But upon closer reflection, even Rometheus admitted that if he hadn't been forced into it, he would have run away after receiving funding from the Hafk Group; he just hadn't expected to be unable to escape now.
Ella: Sigh, where... where is the place of peace and justice?!
Rometheus, who was standing nearby, noticed Ella's conflicted expression and whispered in her ear:
"Alright, stop worrying like an old woman. We need to trust Xiao Hao. You know, he's much better than you think."
After saying this, Rometheus pulled Ella up and spoke to the two kids who were still playing games:
"Little ones, don't stay up all night! You'll have plenty to experience later, so cherish your sleep now. Of course, this is also my advice. We won't bother you any longer, get some rest!"
After saying that, he pulled Ella out of Zhang Hao's room.
At the same time, Rometheus couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be young. If I were to play a game now, I'd probably lose interest in it completely after a few minutes."
Rometheus: Ah, back in the day, I was also...
Ella: Come on, so what if you have electronic erectile dysfunction? Stop reminiscing about the old days and just leave.
After Rometheus and Ella left, the only sound left in the room was the two of them constantly typing on their keyboards.
"Xiao Hao, do you think you've forgotten something?"
At this moment, [Zero], who had been continuously outputting damage, suddenly said this. Zhang Hao was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and was then cleanly and decisively killed by the opponent's set of skills.
Zhang Hao: No!!! My sports car, now there's a real difference in skill level.
"Forgot what? I think given the current situation, both sides will probably focus on peaceful development for the time being. After all, the Hafk Group has lost a high-ranking member, so they can't possibly continue to cause trouble, right?"
While waiting to be resurrected, Zhang Hao began to recall things. Could it be that there was really something he could forget? Come to think of it, his memory had always been quite good.
Zhang Hao: Hmph, that's right! Aside from making me study, I, Zhang Hao, am all-around amazing and invincible! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
"Really not? I'm afraid I'm overthinking it. I was wondering if Demulan would go to Asara to get the Mandel Bricks back after cleaning up this mess? If I remember correctly, the Mandel Bricks are still with Said, right? Do you really think there won't be any problems?"
