Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Yusef was speechless, taken aback by Reis's unfounded confidence. How could Reis think like this? He even said he didn't trust him. Who would trust someone like that? Was this really the leader he had appointed?

“Rhys, do you remember what you told me before? You said you would bring good days to your soldiers, and I believed you then, which is why I entrusted you with the management of the largest valley, Longbow Valley. But now you’re telling me you don’t really care about your men? You’re just playing with their lives.”

Reis also sensed the disappointment and anger in Youssef's words, but could this affect Reis? Obviously not, and Reis began his "explanation".

"Yousef, I don't agree with that at all. If I really didn't want to manage my men, why would I have personally invited you here to oversee things for me? Besides, look at what I've done. I've spent so much money upgrading their buildings and equipment. Even the tanks they're using now are the latest models. You say I'm irresponsible? How am I irresponsible? If this mission succeeds, not only will we be free of worries, but we'll also get a huge sum of money. You're telling me I'm wrong?"

Under Reis's sophistry, Yusef, who was initially disappointed in him, began to carefully consider Reis's words and found that there seemed to be some truth to them, but he still disagreed with Reis's behavior and ideas.

"Fine, even if you're thinking about your men, have you considered my side? You asked me to help you hold Longbow Valley, but why do you think I can handle it after you decipher the Mandel Brick and cause trouble at the space base? You should know that Demulan's wrath is not something anyone can withstand."

After hearing that Youssef had also softened his stance, Reiss smiled and said:

"Why should I? Because I trust you, Brother Yousef. Among the leaders you've handpicked, besides me, that old woman Demulan is probably the one who pays the most attention to you. You control most of the strategic resources of our Asara Guard, and with our equipment, it's true that we can't win. But if you say you'll help me hold out for a while, I really believe you can."

After speaking, Reis also picked up his phone to show Yousef their current tank force in Longbow Valley, as well as the five-headed armor and armor in the warehouse, including several sets of level 6 helmets and armor.

"Look at my resources. If you're willing to send people to support me, I'll arrange the best we have here. How about six sets for you? With all that, what are you still questioning?"

After listening to Reis's introduction of the Longbow Valley's weaponry, Yusuf's understanding was once again refreshed. This Reis... aside from numbers, could be said to have surpassed his own. In that case...

"Was all of this provided by the force behind you? But even with just these people and my men, it's doubtful that we can hold out until you return."

Seeing that Yousef was still not over his concerns, Reiss clicked his tongue in annoyance and pulled out his last trump card.

"Boss Yousef, you've been leading troops in battle for so many years, you know best what true stability is on the battlefield, right? It's something that can't be guaranteed at all. Here's what I'm going to do, I only have one last bargaining chip left. If this can't sway you, then I'm out of ideas."

Reston paused, looked into Yousef's eyes, and said:

"I now know Prince Asara's whereabouts, even his exact location! So, Brother Youssef, if you agree, and we sign the contract with our fingerprints, I'll tell you everything about Prince Asara. How about it?"

Upon hearing that Reis knew Prince Asara's exact location, Youssef immediately began to ponder. How could Reis know that guy's location? Back when he killed those nobles, Prince Asara had just come of age. He had been unable to find him all these years, and now Reis had actually found him.

But now Yusuf is starting to doubt Reis's intentions. Does he know what he's thinking? But given the ambition Reis has shown today and his current military strength, why would he be willing to tell him about Prince Asara?

But looking at Reiss, who sat opposite him with a confident smile, after thinking for a while, Youssef sighed as if resigned to his fate and said:

"Okay, I hope this news doesn't disappoint me. And remember, all this equipment is a must, you know?"

After hearing that Youssef had agreed, Reis smiled and took out the contract, handing it to Youssef.

"Brother Youssef, you should trust me. You'll be satisfied with my information, okay? Besides, how could I possibly shortchange you on your equipment? Once this matter is settled, I'll even send someone to deliver money to you."

After Yusuf signed and affixed his fingerprint, Reese began to tell Yusuf about Raven's current situation. Upon hearing that Prince Asara had been captured by Hafk and imprisoned in the Tide Prison, Yusuf couldn't help but curse:

"To hell with Hafk! He's our prince, after all. How we deal with him should be our business. How could they imprison him for so long behind our backs? What are they planning to do?"

Chapter 435 Late Night Snack

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Reiss chatted with Youssef with a smile. Now everything should be foolproof. Reiss also highly recognized Youssef's ability to lead troops. Otherwise, how could he have overthrown the rule of the Asara royal family?

With his epic flanking maneuver, by the time Demulan noticed, it would probably be too late.

Reese: Damn it, why is there such an outstanding person as me in this world? Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start preparing to ambush at the space base. Only then can I call it a real surprise attack!

After a while, Youssef also suggested going back to think about tactics, and Reiss stood up and said:

"Hey, Brother Youssef, it's only right to put people at ease at a crucial time like this. Someone! Move all that gold and stuff to Brother Youssef's car. Take care, brother. Let Patton see you off for me."

As soon as Reese finished speaking, Patton entered with several Asara soldiers who had come with Youssef earlier, and addressed Youssef:

"Commander Yousef, this way please."

Youssef stood up, gave Reis a deep look, and then turned and followed Barton away. This Reis... would surely stir up the entire situation in Asara.

"Boss Reis, I've already put them on the car. They should arrive in a little while."

After a while, Barton, having seen the person off, returned to Reis's office to report. Seeing his boss still showing off his meal, Barton knew that the matter should be resolved.

Barton: Although I'm also very curious about how our boss managed to get Youssef onto this pirate ship, my brain tells me that if I couldn't help but ask Boss Reese, I'd definitely get a scolding.

"Well, let's see how much sincerity my big brother will bring when he comes to us. You too, go pick a few skilled guys tomorrow and equip them with gear. We also need to ambush them at the space base in advance."

As he spoke, Reese forked another large piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. His gaze then drifted to Barton, and after looking him up and down, Reese said:

"You...you're a fucking coward too, tsk, damn it, you should go to the warehouse and wear six sets of clothes yourself, when a fight breaks out, nobody will be able to control you."

Barton: Is this Boss Reis showing concern for me? He actually let me wear six such precious outfits? I declare that Boss Reis is now the best leader in all of Asara.

"It's Boss Reis! I'll get ready right away, don't worry!"

Patton, beaming with joy, ran to the warehouse to select six sets. Although his boss was indeed rich, only his boss could wear all six sets; everyone else could only wear five. He never imagined he would have such a prosperous day.

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

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

"Xiao Hao, do you really mean you don't discriminate? I get the feeling..."

It was already 11 p.m., but the top of the Tower of Babel was still brightly lit. Rometheus was holding a plate of chili peppers in front of him, staring longingly at Zhang Hao.

"Huh? Uncle Rometheus, are you doubting me? Didn't you say you wanted to experience authentic Jiangxi cuisine? Don't worry, this time I can guarantee with my integrity that it's absolutely authentic."

Zhang Hao also looked heartbroken. He had indeed prepared the most authentic Jiangxi cuisine for Romeshius. After all, Jiangxi cuisine is spicy, right? He just didn't know his limits and added a little too much chili.

"But does this stir-fried pork with chili peppers... actually have any meat in it, Xiao Hao? It looks more like stir-fried chili peppers to me!"

Rometheus turned to look at Zero, who was preparing to share the roast chicken with Zhang Hao, and Claire, who had already started eating chicken noodle soup. Finally, he looked at Ella, who had a pizza in front of her.

“Ella..................”

"Stop, Romecia, don't even think about it. You're even eyeing such a small pizza? Are you even human? Besides, didn't we order these ourselves? What, are you questioning Xiao Hao's cooking skills?"

Rometheus: Good heavens, when did Ella become so good at labeling people? I... I... Never mind, let's just do it.

"Besides, didn't you say it yourself before? That eating spicy food would give you a feeling of sudden enlightenment? After you finished that mala tang last time, didn't you look like you wanted to go back for more?"

Ella couldn't help but recall the way Rometheus looked after eating that spicy hot pot, and how he had spent the whole day sitting on the toilet afterwards, and she joked about it.

"Phew, you're right, Ella. It does feel great when you eat it, but it's not the same when you poop it out. You know what that feels like... Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Rometheus recalled that desperate moment when he sat on the toilet, the feeling... it was almost unbearable. He even wanted to slap himself then, wondering why he had been so greedy! He had only seen it online, so why was he so tempted?

Tonight, Zhang Hao once again suggested to Xiao Hao that they have a late-night snack. After hearing Rometheus's suggestion, Claire wholeheartedly agreed, so Zhang Hao began preparing the snack for everyone.

When asked what he wanted to eat, Rometheus immediately took out his phone, opened his carefully prepared notes app, and began selecting dishes.

After a moment of careful searching, Rometheus also took a liking to the stir-fried pork with chili peppers and immediately told Zhang Hao that he wanted to eat it.

When Zhang Hao heard that Rometheus wanted to eat this, he looked over in surprise. Why did Uncle Rometheus have such a strong palate? He had been so overwhelmed by the spiciness of the previous hot pot that he had collapsed on the table, and now he wanted Zhang Hao to cook him an even more potent Jiangxi dish.

Chapter 436 A Bottle of Beer

"It's alright, Uncle Romecius. At most, you'll just faint from the spiciness. But since you've already been through the ordeal of spicy hot pot last time, I think your mouth should have developed some resistance by now! So, Uncle Romecius, don't worry, go ahead and enjoy it!"

After hearing Zhang Hao's words, Rometheus took a few deep breaths, then nodded resolutely, picked up a piece of meat from a pile of chili peppers, and put it in his mouth.

Those who witnessed this scene stopped and looked curiously at Rometheus, who had his eyes closed. Everyone began to speculate when Rometheus would be so spicy that he would start screaming.

"Um......................"

To everyone's surprise, after finishing his meal, Rometheus closed his eyes and appeared to be deep in thought. Zhang Hao and the others were even more curious when they saw this. What was going on? Did he suddenly gain enlightenment after just one bite?

"beer."

Just then, Rometheus suddenly spoke, catching the others off guard as they were about to continue eating. Ella rubbed her ears and asked uncertainly:

"What? Rometheus, didn't you just say... beer?"

Rometheus, still with his eyes closed, took another deep breath, opened his eyes, and said:

"Yes, I need beer. This is so delicious, I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't have an ice-cold beer. Ella, we should still have some beer here, right?"

After listening to Rometheus finish speaking in a serious tone, the expressions of the others became quite interesting. Zero still had that disdainful look, after all, in his eyes, Rometheus had never been reliable. He wasn't surprised that Rometheus could talk nonsense here with such a serious expression.

Zhang Hao and Ella could only manage helpless smiles. This Uncle Rometheus was truly something else! He had completely silenced them. Among the high-ranking members of the Hafk Group, there was no one else like him.

"Go check in the fridge yourself. Why would I drink beer for no reason? Aren't we all vodka? If there is any, it would only be in the fridge."

Upon hearing that there might be beer in the refrigerator, Rometheus immediately sprinted towards it at full speed. This stir-fried pork with chili peppers was just too delicious; it would be a waste not to have a little beer with it!

That last sip reminded Rometheus of the beer he had drunk before, something he hadn't done in a long time. At that moment, a bite of meat and a sip of beer... he was the happiest man in the world.

"Wow! We happen to have a few bottles left, would you like some?"

After opening the refrigerator, Rometheus excitedly took out several cans of beer and asked everyone:

"Forget it, you can have your own drink. It's a bit weird for me to be eating pizza and drinking alcohol. Claire, don't raise your hand, just go eat your noodles. Xiao Hao, you..."

Ella had just stopped Claire from raising her hand to drink when she turned around and saw Zhang Hao confidently raising his hand, and Zero, who was sitting to the side, also raised his hand after seeing this.

"Alright! Men should eat meat and drink wine to their heart's content. Come on, let's have some, the three of us big men."

Rometheus completely ignored Ella's attempt to persuade the two not to drink, and simply tossed the beer in his hand over, which Zhang Hao and Zero caught steadily.

Ella: No way... Are you two even adults yet? And I've never heard of you two drinking before.

Zhang Hao also saw the worry in Ella's eyes and patted his chest, saying:

"Hmph, don't worry, Sister Ella. You guys don't know, but my bartending skills are absolutely top-notch. Although I fell asleep after just one sip of one of my cocktails, my health is different now. Just you wait and see!"

Ella: Huh? Did I hear that right? One sip... and she passed out? Isn't that just an alcohol allergy? You little pushover, don't get involved in this mess!

"Oh, it's alright, Ella. I'm here too, what's there to be afraid of? Even if Xiao Hao is drunk, he'll just sleep. It's just a matter of whether he sleeps early or late, right, Xiao Hao?"

At this moment, Rometheus, who came over with a case of beer, patted Ella on the shoulder and then winked at Zhang Hao, who responded with a very confident expression.

"If Xiao Hao drinks, I'll drink too."

When Ella turned her gaze to Zero, Zero immediately expressed his willingness to drink with Xiao Hao.

After the three of them filled their glasses, Claire somehow produced two bottles of Coke and gave one to Ella.

"Come on, since we both have something in our hands, let's have a toast! Let's... let's say it's for the success of your operations from now on! Cheers!"

After Rometheus finished speaking, everyone laughed and raised their glasses together, clinking them together.

Ten minutes later.............................

"Claire, put Xiao Hao back in his room. Later, have Rometheus take [Zero] back. Seriously, why did he drink when he clearly can't drink? And you, you culprit, your lips are all sausage-like, and you're still eating. You'll have to take [Zero] back later, understand?"

Looking at the "mess" in front of her, Ella admitted that she had overestimated them a bit. This Xiao Hao was only slightly better than she had said before. He only passed out after taking his second sip. As for Zero, who was drinking for the first time, he was different. He was eliminated immediately after raising his glass earlier.

After seeing that "Zero" was eliminated, Rometheus suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said:
