Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"Damn it, Patton, you've got some nerve, haven't you? You even dared to kick me."

Reese immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Barton. This guy really got too cocky, daring to kick his own boss like that. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would be unworthy of his title, the Black Shark of Hell.

"Boss Reis, I only touched you with my foot because I don't have hands. I just... I just used a little too much force."

Barton, whose survival instincts had exploded, quickly tried to explain to Reis that he was innocent, saying that he was now capable of kicking Reis.

"Boss Reis, if you ask me, we should leave this Mandel brick behind. Seriously, we might not be able to take it this time. Think about it, if that kid really abandons the girl and comes to blow it up, we might really lose our lives here."

Barton quickly explained to Reese, "How come even now, our boss is still thinking about that Mandel brick in his bag? Has he really forgotten when he was cornered by these two people?"

You know, if you could survive this, it would be incredibly lucky. But looking at Lord Reis now, it seems he's really forgotten the pain as soon as the wound heals.

"Damn it, Patton, can't you think of anything positive? You're such a coward every time. Damn it, why don't you just kill her first and then let this kid kill her? Damn it, you have a gun now. Damn it, I threw away my shotgun to run faster."

Reis whispered quietly in Barton's ear, "The initiative is clearly in our hands now. We have guns, so why don't we just kill this white-haired brat first?" Reis really didn't believe that anyone in Assara could survive being shot like him.

“You could have been louder in your conspiracy. And don’t worry, that gun you have isn’t going to be a match for me. I guarantee that if you do that, you two will be stuck here forever… or you might end up spending your whole lives in Tide Prison.”

But just as the two were talking quietly, Zero, who was standing some distance away, suddenly blurted out these words, which startled Reese and Barton. After staring at each other for two seconds, they both looked at Zero, who was some distance away, in shock.

"Damn it, was I really that loud, Patton? I thought I was being very quiet. Or is this guy not even human?"

"I don't know. I felt like the boss's voice was practically nonexistent compared to usual, but it seems like he still heard it?"

"Really? That white-haired guy over there, I'm so jealous."

Undeterred, Reis tried again to mutter a curse at Zero in a low voice. The next second, Zero's sharp gaze swept over him:

"Looks like neither of you wants to leave. Fine, go ahead and shoot her now. I want to see if you two will still be like this after you're locked up in the Tide Prison."

Upon hearing Zero's words, Barton panicked and quickly stepped forward to say:

"No, no, no, let's talk this out. Our boss Reis was just joking. Don't get so worked up. We can discuss this. We'll leave the bricks here, and you can let us go. Is that okay? I'll give you the bricks right now."

Before Reese could even speak, Barton spoke up first, while simultaneously giving Reese meaningful glances, signaling him not to cause trouble.

"Okay, leave the bricks here. Don't even think about doing anything underhanded. Also, you don't have much time left to think. I think it won't be long before Demulan leads his team back."

Upon hearing this, Reese's brain seemed to reconnect to the internet, and he suddenly pulled Barton aside and said:

"Hiss... Patton, I suddenly think you're actually right. If I really die here today for a brick, that would be a huge loss. I haven't lived enough yet! You said Yusuf would send a helicopter to check things out, right? That guy shouldn't stand us up, right? If that's the case..."

Before Reis could finish speaking, Barton's phone vibrated. Barton quickly pulled out a hand to check the message, and Reis also peered over. After seeing the message, Reis immediately grabbed Barton and, while walking away, said to [Zero]:

"Where do you want me to put the bricks? I'm leaving now, hurry up!"

Claire was still anxiously waiting for Desmulan's message, but after sending messages for a long time, there was still no response. This left Claire somewhat dumbfounded. Could it be that Ms. Desmulan had also encountered some trouble? Why wasn't she reading the messages she sent?

When Zero heard Reiss say this, he was indicating that Reiss should throw the Mandel brick to him so that he could leave with the man.

Seeing this, Reis took the Mandel Brick out of his backpack, gave it one last reluctant look, and then tossed it to Zero. Without saying another word, Reis grabbed the Barton and ran off.

The speed at which Reese ran stunned Claire, who was lying on the side. This guy's speed was like a human mini pickup truck! No wonder she almost lost her ability to move after being hit by him before. This can only mean that her physical fitness is still strong. If he hadn't installed the explosive spinal cord assist device, she probably would have been dead.

As for why Reese so decisively threw away the Mandel brick he had already obtained, it all came down to a comment Youssef made to Barton:

"The helicopter has reached a bridge. There's no one there now. You need to retreat quickly."

After seeing this sentence, Reis stopped caring about it. It could only be said that he and this Mandel brick were not meant to be, so he might as well return it to its rightful owner.

Chapter 459 Demulan: Oh no, he's escaped again.

Reis: Hehehe, right now it's more important for me to run away. Damn it, let's get out of here, let's get out of here. I don't want to get caught by that old hag Demulan again. Damn it, if I really fall into her hands, I might as well just shoot myself in the head.

Reese then led Barton at full speed to the bridge they had just crossed. Seeing that there was no one on the bridge, Reese quickly ran across with Barton.

"Is this the place? Hey, I see it now, it should be that helicopter, right? Yes, yes, it's coming over."

After Reis and Barton got onto the bridge, they saw a helicopter flying towards them. When they saw the pilot wearing a familiar red mask, Reis quickly waved to the helicopter.

"Damn it, here! Hurry up, hurry up! Put the damn rope down for me, put it up for me, damn it, let's go home, let's go home."

After the men lowered the ropes, Reese and Barton quickly climbed up. Once they were settled, Reese immediately instructed the pilot to fly the plane back to Longbow Valley.

"Damn it, finally on the plane. I need to get back to the airport as soon as possible. I was almost stuck here. Thank goodness I reacted quickly, don't you think?"

After saying that, Reese looked at Barton, who was panting heavily, and raised an eyebrow at him.

Patton: Huh? Really? But what I see is your relentless pursuit of that Mandel brick! You only came to your senses a little more after you heard that little boy mention Demoulins' name.

"So, what's the situation like over in Longbow Valley? How serious are the casualties? Damn it, Yusef is still in Longbow Valley, isn't he? I'm going to have a talk with him later."

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

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

Meanwhile, Demulan, whom Claire had been pondering, was now standing right in front of Zhang Hao and his companions. At this moment, Luna and Uluru were like two hens protecting their eggs, while Demulan had transformed into a creature trying to steal them.

"Xiao Hao, it's rare for you to come to Auntie's space base. Don't you really want to come and have some fun? Auntie's place is really big. You can even play with Claire when you have time."

Demulan never expected to run into Zhang Hao and his group at the entrance of the space base. Judging from their appearance, they were probably preparing to retreat. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he not try to keep Xiao Hao here?

Demulan: Hey, double the good news! Not only did I catch that damn Reis, but I also ran into Xiao Hao. Looks like my luck is really pretty good today.

At this moment, Demulan was like a wicked auntie trying to lure children, smiling and inviting them to stay at the space base for a couple more days as a thank you gift, while Luna coldly replied:

"No need, Demulan. If you have nothing better to do, go check on Reis inside. You know, we only saw two people from your Hafk side dealing with Reis. I think... that's not enough to be safe."

Meanwhile, Uluru had already sent a message to Deep Blue while Luna was talking, and Deep Blue said that he would bring people over soon. That despicable Demulan is still up to no good. He didn't pay attention to that guy Reis at the first moment, but continued to have designs on their Xiao Hao.

Deep Blue: Damn it, my own cub is too outstanding and cute, and now it's being snatched away by outsiders every day. Ugh, it's so distressing. Why is my cub-raising skill so superb?

"It's alright, two people should be able to handle one Reis. Didn't you say you've taken care of the other Asara soldiers? I'm not too worried about that."

"Demulan! What are you doing blocking our people here? Are you repaying kindness with enmity? Get out of the way, we've finished our mission and are heading back."

At this moment, Deep Blue's voice came from behind Demulan. Uluru and Luna, who heard Deep Blue's voice, breathed a sigh of relief. Since Deep Blue had come, there should be no problem.

"And are you sure you took down Reis? Just now, when we were preparing to leave, we saw what looked like an Asara helicopter fly away from here. You better not say that your men didn't stop Reis."

Luo Yi, who was behind Shen Lan, added that when they came over to pick up Xiao Hao and the others, Wei Long, who had sharp eyes, spotted a helicopter flying out of the space base immediately.

But at this time, would any of Hafk's helicopters still fly out from inside? Something seems a bit off, and for some reason, Deep Blue and the others also vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Upon seeing the somewhat serious expressions on Shenlan and the others' faces, Demulan immediately took out his phone and then discovered the message Claire had sent him while lying in the blind spot of Reis and the others.

"What?! Reis... ran away."

After reading the message Claire sent him, Demulan froze on the spot, as if petrified. When Zhang Hao and the others saw that Demulan said Reis had run away, they all showed expressions of "I knew it."

"Damn it, I knew that bastard Reis wouldn't be taken down so easily. By the way, what's going on with you guys in Hafk? We've almost taken care of all of his Asara soldiers, how come you can't even catch one Reis?"

Roy didn't hold back and started bombarding the petrified Demulan with questions. "How come Hafk has become so weak now? How could he let Reis escape death again? Roy can only say that he has never seen anyone with such a tough life in his life."

After a brief pause, Demulan briefly recounted what Claire had told him. After listening, everyone was speechless. It could only be said that Reese was just too tough; catching and killing him was incredibly difficult.

Now Demulan even suspects that even if he were to use a dozen missiles to completely wipe out Longbow Valley, that guy Reis could still crawl out from some unknown place and wiggle his butt at him.

Chapter 460 It's none of my business anymore

"Xiao Hao, our mission is complete. We've already shown you the utmost mercy this time. Demulan, you can handle the rest yourselves."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he led Zhang Hao and the others away from the scene. This time, Demulan did not try to stop them. He could just go and confront Xiao Hao at Rometheus's place next time. Right now, they should check on Claire's situation first.

"Let's go, let's hurry and go to Lixin to take a look."

A short while later, Demulan arrived at the centrifugal zone with several soldiers. Claire was leaning against the wall, waiting for the doctor to come and remove the bullet and bandage her wound. Meanwhile, Zero, who was holding a Mandel brick, tossed it to Demulan when he saw him arrive.

Demulan quickly caught the Mandel brick that was tossed to him. It was good news that he had gotten the Mandel brick back. Claire hadn't had a chance to tell Demulan on the phone before. At the time, Demulan thought that bastard Reese had run away with the Mandel brick that he had deciphered.

Looking at the deciphered Mandel brick in his hand, Demulan first handed it to a soldier nearby, then quickly walked up to Claire and asked with concern:

"Claire, are you alright? This time I didn't consider that Dores really can't be treated like a normal CS player. You should get some rest. Now that we've gotten the Mandel brick back, it's time for Dores, that CS player, to pay the interest..."

Just after Demulan finished speaking, Mary arrived with medical personnel. Upon seeing Claire sitting on the ground, several medical staff members quickly placed her on a stretcher and took her to the infirmary.

Upon seeing Desmoulins, Mary quickly stepped forward and said:

"Ms. Demurean, you're finally back! The three squads you left here... were all wiped out by that guy Reis and his men."

Demulan nodded in agreement. He had been worried about his base being raided, so he left these three squads behind as a precaution. But he hadn't expected that even these three squads couldn't stop Reis. It seemed that next time... he would need to leave behind a squad of machine gunners and flamethrowers.

Reese: 666, this is blatant sore loser. I'd think twice if two more of these came, and you're just sending two teams of this stuff to mess with me? Are you even human?

"There shouldn't be any other casualties, right? Those up there have flamethrower soldiers and such for protection, so they should be relatively safe."

Mary nodded in agreement. After finding the decryption device for the Mandel Brick, Reis didn't wait any longer and immediately led his men over. At that time, Mary was still in her office listening to the report from the Hafk soldiers when, not long after, the flamethrower soldiers guarding the area rushed over to tell her that a group of people had started fighting with Reis and his men.

"Well, now that Reis and the others have left, let's all go back to our positions. Now that the Mandel Brick has been deciphered, let's use it directly. It can also speed up the production capacity of our space base. Also, after a while, Mr. Jacob will give me a Mandel supercomputing unit, so that our satellite launch speed can double again."

"Yes, Ms. Demouran, I'll arrange it right away."

Upon hearing this, Mary quickly took the Mandel brick from the Hafk soldier next to Demulan, and then went upstairs to prepare for what was to come.

After briefly arranging things here, Demulan looked at Zero, who had been standing silently to the side, and said:

"How are you? Are you alright? How good is that guy Rhys at close combat? If I were to face him, what are my chances of winning?"

Upon hearing Demruhan's question, Zero calmly replied:

"I'm fine. As for your chances of winning against Reis... it's about 30/70. Your close-combat skills are indeed good for ordinary people, but if you encounter that guy Reis, he will still crush you with his strength. Even if I go all out, I can only suppress him slightly."

After listening to Zero's words, Demulan once again gained a clearer understanding of Reis's strength. It seems that if he were to face him in the future, he would really have to be careful not to let him get close.

"So what exactly happened back then? How come there was still one who slipped through the net on Asara's side? And I really didn't expect that you, a completely heartless guy, would actually let Reis go just to protect Claire. It's really... an eye-opener!"

Demulan was somewhat surprised that Zero would choose to protect Claire and let Reis go. Although he had only had brief contact with him, Demulan could understand why Rometheus had boasted in front of everyone that what he created would be a war machine that would overturn normal warfare.

Although he didn't know why this guy suddenly changed his mind and started treating this "Zero" like his own son, after a brief exchange of blows, Demulan immediately understood how terrifying this little guy was: unparalleled speed and strength, as well as impeccable combat intuition and fighting skills. After only a few rounds, Demulan simply raised his head to indicate that he was giving up.

Now that he heard what he said about Reis, Demoulan quietly gave up the idea of ​​getting close to him, because it wouldn't be fun to lose face.

"Alright, since you have nothing else to do here, I'll head back now."

Seeing that everything seemed to be settled here, [Zero] suggested leaving, as she needed to go back and tell Xiao Hao about the situation with Reis. It just felt a little strange to chat with Xiao Hao here...

After this encounter with Reis, Zero could clearly feel that Reis's strength had improved once again. This matter needed to be discussed with Xiao Hao to prevent them from suffering another loss at Reis's hands.

Chapter 461 I'm a very honest person, okay?

"Alright, you can go back if you want. Remember to tell Rometheus for me, and... I'll pay you a visit in person."
