Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"No, it was the Special Operations Department who came to pick up Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao prepared breakfast for you all before he left. You should eat it while it's still warm. Xiao Hao said he'll come back to play with you after he's finished dealing with things with Reis."

Claire, who had never seen this kind of "parent-child activity" before, thought the two were about to fight again, and quickly explained, "How come Dr. Rometheus's status is so low...?"

Claire couldn't help but recall the last time she came to the Tower of Babel. Back then, Dr. Rometheus was quite impressive. He was involved in the things behind her and could even invent something like Relink brain-computer interface. At that time, Claire still thought Rometheus was quite reliable.

But after spending a day here, Claire realized that something seemed off. This Rometheus seemed different from what she had imagined, and seemed to have become a little unreliable.

"Um...you guys take your time eating. I'm going back to the space base now. Maybe Ms. Demuren has already finished formulating the battle plan."

Xiao Hao isn't here now, so Claire suggested leaving first. The main task here wasn't to play with Xiao Hao. She could come back to play with them after things were settled here.

"Hey, Claire, wait a minute. You can hitch a ride with me. Demulan asked me to borrow a Blue Eagle helicopter a few days ago. You can take this plane back with me."

When Rometheus saw Claire preparing to leave, he quickly called her back and explained the situation to her. He then led Claire to the top of the Tower of Babel. Claire, seeing the unique and high-tech helicopter in front of her for the first time, was filled with surprise.

"Go ahead, and remember to say hello to Demulan for me when you get back. Oh, and she might not listen to what I say, so just tell her that Xiao Hao said that Reis is a real sly one, and to be careful."

Rometheus: Hey, it has to be me, I'm so clever.

Chapter 440 You know Xiao Hao too?

"What?! You said you saw Xiao Hao? And you spent the whole day with him? He even said he wanted to hang out with you again after this mission is over?"

Claire stared wide-eyed at the "expression-rich" Desmulan in front of her and nodded "honestly." It turned out that Xiao Hao really had that much influence. She had never seen Ms. Desmulan with such a rich expression before.

Mary, standing to the side: Yes, brothers, yes, when Ms. Demulan and Miss Camille were on the phone before, their expressions were quite rich... Okay, I admit, their expressions were rich when they didn't hear about Xiao Hao.

"Well... Claire, after you finish this mission, you can come back when Geheros returns. Oh, and next time you see Xiao Hao, remember to bring him to our space base for a visit, okay? What's the point of him going to Rometheus's place every day? Besides, what's so fun about Rometheus's place?"

Upon seeing Desmoulin's outburst, Claire glanced discreetly at Mary standing beside her, signaling with her eyes what was wrong with Ms. Desmoulin.

Mary shook her head helplessly. She didn't know either. How could she know that Ms. Demulan planned to kidnap Zhang Hao and bring him back to be her son-in-law? She just thought that Ms. Demulan was too lonely, after all, Miss Camille was currently abroad.

However, the reality may not be what Mary thought. After discovering that it might be possible to get Claire to bring Zhang Hao to her space base, Demulan immediately began to think about how to get that Geheros back as soon as possible.

Demulan: Damn it, just a few days ago he asked me to go for a drive around the GTI area, and I just agreed without thinking. Oh dear, I didn't expect even Claire and Xiao Hao to be so close? Looks like next time... it's time to go see Rometheus.

Rometheus: I feel a chill down my back and on my head. Could it be that I'm being targeted by some ferocious beast? No, no, I'm not afraid of anything. With my guards now, I can basically walk around Asara like a whirlwind. It's alright, it's alright, Rometheus. You're safe inside the Tower of Babel.

"Well, Claire, you should go and rest and prepare. According to the plan, I will hold a war meeting tomorrow, and then we will start our attack on Longbow Valley of Reis the day after tomorrow."

Accompanying Claire this time were the Blue Eagle helicopter and the Black Hawk squad. Demulan was extremely confident in taking over Longbow Valley from Reiss.

Of course, unless leaders like Youssef or Said are willing to risk their lives to help Reis, then the stalemate will continue. But... who would be willing to empty their troops and resources to help this guy Reis?

If the leaders of Asara were truly so united... neither the Tower of Babel in Baksh nor their own space base could have been built so smoothly. To put it bluntly, these Asara soldiers were simply fighting their own battles. The most powerful among them, Yousef, only chose to divide Asara's lands away to counterbalance these leaders.

Demulan: That's human nature. Even now, these people in Asara are still greedy and selfish. Our Hafk Group came here to promote the local economy and technological development, but these ingrates betrayed us as soon as they tasted a little success.

Thinking about his own experience, Demulan couldn't help but sigh. He used to be a advocate of peace, but after being harmed by these greedy vermin, he gradually began to understand why Mr. Jacob had told him not to be soft-hearted.

Demruhan: Now I understand. To deal with these barbarians, you don't need to preach to them. They simply don't understand, and they will never know how much our Hafk Group has contributed to the progress of the world.

Reis: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you think you're so great, De Moulin? Keep showing off, damn it, until now, no one has ever been able to show off in front of me! Damn it, in Assara, only an invincible man like me is qualified to show off, you know that!

After Claire returned, Demulan calmed his somewhat complicated and agitated emotions, sat back down at his desk, and asked Mary:

“Mary, if I remember correctly, the last time Reese was robbing the Mandel bricks, his soldiers were wearing tattered bulletproof vests.”

Mary nodded after hearing this. Last time, it was only because Reis had taken hostages and she was worried about Robert's safety that he escaped. Otherwise, given the quality of Reis and his soldiers, Hafk could have easily wiped them out.

"To be able to rebuild his Longbow Valley and upgrade all of his Asara soldiers' equipment in such a short time, and to have his current arms reserves capable of withstanding our attack, frankly, even Yousef would find it difficult to withstand our firepower this time."

"Ms. Demulan, are you referring to the mysterious force behind Reis... is it very powerful?"

After hearing Mary's words, Demulan couldn't help but chuckle. A mysterious force, huh?

“Mary, you need to think this through carefully. In the current world order, how many countries could arm a third-rate gang like Reiss to this extent?”

After listening to Demulan's words, Mary realized something. Yes, why did she keep thinking about that mysterious organization? Why couldn't it be that some major power was in contact with Reiss behind the scenes?

Thinking about it this way, Mary immediately came up with a range of options and began to eliminate them. But as she thought about it, Mary suddenly asked:

"Wait a minute, Ms. Demulan, most of these countries are in the GTI, right?"

Chapter 441 Infiltration

After thinking it over, Mary realized that almost all the countries she could think of were actually in GTI, which puzzled her.

"Hehe, Mary, I can only say you're too naive. Do you really think those guys who make up the rules will obediently follow them?"

After hearing Mary's naive and innocent remarks, Demulan sneered and then said:

"In my opinion, China has no reason to help Reis, and Russia is currently dealing with its own affairs. So, if we rule that out, Mary, don't you have anyone to suspect yet?"

Mary: No, Ms. Desmoulins, how could I not know that? It's just... I feel like you're being too direct.

"Ms. Demulan...you mean the United States, secretly aiding Reis?"

When Demulan saw Mary's cautious demeanor, he neither denied it nor said whether Mary was right or wrong.

"Who knows? Maybe there really is some organization behind it that even our Hafk Group doesn't know about... Anyway, no matter who it is, they won't be a match for our Hafk Group."

"Alright, Mary, go and take care of things first. Make sure your soldiers are ready, understand? I'll start planning tomorrow's meeting today. This matter shouldn't drag on any longer; it's time to settle things with that guy, Reis."

After listening, Mary nodded obediently. Ms. Desmulan had indeed worked hard during this time, and the day that Ms. Desmulan and Miss Camille had agreed on was coming up soon. No wonder Ms. Desmulan was in such a hurry.

Demulan: Ah, that's not the reason. I just can't stand that bastard Reis acting like a jerk in front of me anymore. He's not just provoking me now, he's provoking our Hafk Group! People like him must be punished.

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

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

"What? Boss Yusef, you mean we need to send most of our forces to support Reis? Why? He's the one who dug this huge mess, and now that he's about to die, he comes to you, Boss. You guys are going to help that guy Reis?"

Meanwhile, at Yusef's headquarters, Yusef summoned all his captains the next day and told them about his plan to personally lead troops to support Reis.

However, judging from the current individual reactions... it is clear that most people oppose this.

"Quiet! Are you the leader, or am I the leader?!"

Seeing the captain of the opposing team chattering and expressing his own opinions below, Yusef, whose head was throbbing from the noise, roared and slammed his hand on the table, addressing the group.

Seeing that their leader had lost his temper, the others quieted down and then all looked at Yousef.

Seeing this, Youssef snorted, and then said:

"Reis has given us a whole cartload of gold. What else can you say? And let me tell you, this operation isn't for Reis, but to defend our Longbow Valley."

As Yusuf spoke, he displayed the counted gold and Haff coins on the monitor behind him. Upon seeing these items, most people immediately fell silent. So much money? What's up with this Reis?

However, just as there was agreement, there was also opposition. Several of the more assertive captains still expressed some dissatisfaction:

“Boss Yusef, you’ve already taken their money, so don’t keep saying it’s for Longbow Valley or Asara. And since that guy Reiss is putting up so much money, why is he still so fixated on a Mandel Brick? Does he have something else that he can use?”

Yusuf selectively ignored these troublemakers. So these people don't care about money? Well, let them stay and guard the house. They shouldn't think about money anymore.

"Remember the radar station in Longbow Valley? That was God's punishment for our disunity. And don't forget who snatched Longbow Valley and Dam Zero back from the Hafk Group."

After Youssef finished speaking, even the troublemakers were speechless. After all, only Reis had managed to take back their territory from the Hafk Group back then.

"Tomorrow, you guys will all lead your teams to Longbow Valley. There's plenty of weaponry and equipment at Reis's place. As for you guys who like to shout... stay here and guard the house. As for this gold, you can think about it."

After Yusuf finished speaking, he dismissed everyone. If Demulan wanted to take action, it would probably be within the next few days. Since he had taken the money, he naturally had to do his job.

Hopefully, Demulan won't just go straight for the kill this time. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

While all the forces were preparing for this great battle, our Reis had already taken advantage of the darkness and quietly led a team to the vicinity of the space base.

"Hey, Boss Reis, don't you think we've made a wasted trip coming out so early? The supplies we brought are only enough to feed us for two days. Why don't we wait until Yousef arrives tomorrow before we leave?"

Barton, carrying a large bag and panting, came to Reese's side and whispered, "Isn't it because we just finalized the cooperation with Youssef last night, and tonight we're already here squatting?"

Barton: As expected, as an ordinary person, I still can't keep up with Lord Reis's thought process.

After listening to Barton's complaints, Reese didn't hesitate to give him his favorite slap, and cursed:

"Damn it, you're just so damn lazy. Don't you know how to prepare in advance? Damn it, we should wait until Yousef arrives before we leave. What if we run into that old woman Demulan on the way? Besides, if we ambush here now, we can pass on some information to Yousef in advance, you know?"

Chapter 442 What? He hurt my son-in-law?

After receiving this "education of love" from Reese, Barton rubbed his head and retreated to the back, thinking, "Why is Reese taking his anger out on me instead of just yelling at me? My life is really too miserable."

"Okay, boss, I understand. I was just worried that if Demulan didn't play by the rules and didn't make any moves, then we would have made a wasted trip."

After explaining, Barton once again slunk away into the crowd. He was practically the only one left in the group, and he didn't know why Lord Reis insisted on having him come along. Wouldn't it have been better for him to be in charge of commanding the battle in Longbow Valley?

But thinking about the slap he had just received, Barton decided it was better to avoid trouble and just obediently go to the side and be a mascot.

Barton: Damn it, I'm not alive and have my current status and position because of brute force, I'm using my brain, you know? Look at all those bodyguards around Lord Reis before, didn't they all go to heaven with Demulan's missile?

After finding a relatively secluded spot, Reis ordered the soldiers to prepare a place for him to sleep that night. As the strongest man in Asara and the leader of Longbow Valley, he naturally deserved the treatment due to him. How could he possibly prepare a place for himself to sleep now?

In the end, this very important task fell to Barton. Of course, Barton, who was used to following Reese like a grandson, had no objections. After all, he was already used to it.

Barton: As expected......................No pain, no gain. Sigh...............Oh well, I'd better just go and prepare things for Boss Reese to sleep in tonight.

Time flew by, and the next day arrived quickly. Before dawn, the conference room at the space base was already packed with people. Demulan, seated at the head of the table, looked at the commanders involved in the operation and said:

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I won't waste any more time. Our mission this time is singular: destroy Reis's defenses, seize Reis and Mandel Brick with lightning speed, and advance to Longbow Valley... That's the interest Reis owes us, Hafk."

Claire, who was yawning below, looked at Mary with some confusion and asked:

"Hmm? We're going to take Longbow Valley too? Mary, I remember Ms. Demulan said that all we had to do was deal with Reis and get back the Mandel Bricks, right? What? Now we have to take Longbow Valley from Reis? What will happen to the Asara people who live there?"

Mary first asked Claire to quiet down a bit, saying that she would explain to her later.

Demulan then began to give instructions for the operation, and Mary below could clearly see the importance that Ms. Demulan attached to this mission. It seems that after the last battle, Demulan's regard for Reiss has once again reached a new level.

After a meeting that lasted about an hour, Demulan assigned tasks to everyone, then explained the key points to focus on during the mission before adjourning the meeting.

After these people left, Mary looked at Claire and explained to her:

"Claire, do you really think that the people of Asara will suffer after our Hafk Group takes over Longbow Valley? If you ask me, it would be truly good news for the people of Asara if we really have complete control of Longbow Valley."

“Mary is right. Claire, you know that madman Reiss is capable of even starting wildfires. What else wouldn’t he dare to do? Do you really think the Asara people living in Longbow Valley are living a good life? Reiss is no good. He doesn’t care about the lives of these Asara people at all.”

At this moment, Demulan also came over and said to Claire, who looked bewildered, "Indeed, Reese is not like Saeed. It's true that Saeed hates Hafk, after all, it was because they indirectly caused the death of his family."

But Said really cared about the people of Asara. Otherwise, how could he have successfully gotten Xiao Hao to give him advice? And what Rometheus showed him before was that Said, as the leader of Dam Zero, was actually leading the way in farming there. If this were Reis, Demulan would rather believe that Rometheus was a woman than believe that Reis would actually do that.

Saeed: Look, this is called reputation, you know? All I need to do is do the right thing, and great scholars will defend me.
