Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty, Miss Claire, that I also hope you won't be so naive when you think about things in the future."
After walking around the house once, Geheros sat back down in his seat.
"They will only become the next invaders, but they are very good at disguising themselves. Moreover, they will send people to directly interfere in Asara's politics. They are not like us, Hafk. What we want is just Asara's resources."
"Impossible! I've met the GTI members here, and I don't think they're the kind of people you're describing."
Claire's words completely ruined the atmosphere that Gherros had been building up for so long, and Gherros could only wave his hand helplessly at her.
"Don't get agitated. Didn't I say before? When I said GTI, I was referring to the higher-ups. Your memory..."
Chapter 474 is out!
Gherros, who was already frowning behind the mask, couldn't help but point to his head with his finger, then widened his eyes a little as he looked at Claire, who was now awkwardly starting to knock on the chair.
Claire: Oh dear, I got so excited just now that I forgot what Geheros told me before, that GTI refers to those high-ranking officials. This is really embarrassing! Wait a minute?! What do you mean by that gesture? Is there something wrong with my head?!
Just as Claire was about to seriously explain to Gherros that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her head, Gherros didn't say anything more and simply continued talking to her:
"Where were we? Oh, all we Hafk Group wants is the resources of Asara. Besides, we've also contributed to the development of this land, haven't we? You know, Asara has absorbed and adopted a lot of our Hafk technology. We not only helped them build Dam Zero, but we also helped improve many of their buildings."
"And the GTI... Hmph! What they want is the whole of Asara! If they really help the people of Asara drive out our Hafk, based on my understanding of the GTI's high-ranking officials, their next step will be to gradually interfere in Asara's internal politics under the pretext of helping with development and construction."
Claire listened attentively to what Geheros was saying. She would have to talk to Xiao Hao and the others about it later. Luna was too trusting. If she really told Geheros what he said, it would be terrible, especially for Xiao Hao. No wonder Ms. Demulan had said this many times!
Mary: Actually, that's not the case, Claire. You're overthinking it. Ms. Desmoulins is simply choosing a husband for Miss Camille. I used to think the same way you did back then! But... I think I understand now.
"So now you should understand what kind of people these GTI executives are, which is why I said that these GTI members who came to Asara are nothing but pitiful bastards who have been used by others."
"But... how do you know so much about the GTI executives? It feels like even the GTI members who came to Asara don't know as much about those executives as you do."
Claire: I was so scared! I almost let it slip. Luckily, my super-reflexes caught me in time. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if the warden knew that I knew those GTI people. I'm not a spy!
"Why? Because I was a member of GTI before."
Claire: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
When Claire heard the warden of the Tidal Prison in front of her say that he had previously worked for GTI, she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. "Dude, are you... about to self-destruct?" she thought. "Can I even listen to this? Will he kill me later?"
"Alright, don't be so nervous. Basically, everyone with a name in Hafk knows that I chose to join the Hafk Group because I experienced the darkness and saw the corruption in GTI. Here, as long as you have enough ability and value, you can make your own rules. That's why I chose to join!"
Seeing Claire's stunned expression, Geheros simply explained casually that this young girl was indeed a newcomer to their Hafk Group, basically knowing nothing about the identities of internal staff.
"Alright, there's no point in telling you anything else, mainly because you wouldn't understand anyway. You can go now. Remember to urge Demulan for me. Such an excellent clerk as Xiao Li has left, so tell her to transfer another one as soon as possible."
After speaking, Geheros leaned back in his chair, waved to Claire to indicate that she could leave, and Claire stood up, responded, and walked out blankly.
After visiting the warden's office, I feel like I'm about to grow a brain. In about half an hour, my brain absorbed a huge amount of information.
"No, no, I have to go back quickly. If I wait any longer, I'll forget everything. How am I going to explain it to Xiaohao and Luna? I'm going to go find Xiaoli now. She should be all packed by now."
Thinking that she still needed to tell Xiao Hao and Luna about the information she had just obtained, Claire hurriedly went to Xiao Li's dormitory to see how she was packing. She had to hurry, otherwise she didn't know what she might say if she was late.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"Alright, that's all I need to take with me. Tsk, I've been here for quite a while now. But... farewell, cage, I'm going back to my normal life."
Meanwhile, Xiao Li had finished packing his luggage, and after a final check, he took one last look at the room he had lived in for so many years before pulling his luggage and heading outside.
"Xiao Li! You've finished packing? You only have this much stuff? You don't want any of those clothes and stuff?"
Just after stepping out of the room, Xiao Li ran into Claire, who was walking towards him. Claire looked at Xiao Li, who only had one more suitcase than her, and asked curiously.
"What do I have? We can just buy clothes outside. Let's go, it's been a long time since I've been outside."
So Claire took Li outside. Once Li was back in the car, as the engine started and the Tide Prison gradually disappeared from sight, Li couldn't help but sigh:
"Claire, you might really be my lucky star. I've been here for so long, and I was thinking that I might stay in this prison until retirement. I didn't expect that I would be out so soon after meeting you."
Chapter 475 Intelligence Agent Claire
When Claire expressed her feelings, she replied nonchalantly:
"Why is this getting back to me? Let me tell you, Xiao Li, I've recently learned a new principle: what goes around comes around. Xiao Hao told me this before. You clearly have the ability, but you were dragged into this place by that jerk. What was he saying? You don't belong here after all. I just told Ms. Demulan that you should just work hard at the space base."
Claire: Of course, it would be great if you could help me with anything I don't know how to do later. (?'?`?)
"Hehehe, you are really the complete opposite of me in terms of personality and mentality. If I had your mentality back then, I might have just gathered evidence in the dark and fought those two guys to the death."
"Well, it's not too late to take revenge now. Although I don't know if those two are still there, since you've been transferred to the space base, finding them shouldn't be too difficult."
This time, Xiao Li smiled as he looked at Claire driving the car.
"Of course, normally I wouldn't bother with those two guys anymore, but if I did, wouldn't it be a waste that you went through all that trouble to get me out of the Tide Prison? So... naturally I'm going to find them. Of course, it can't be now, since my main task right now is to establish myself at the space base and show my value."
Looking at the bright sunshine before her, Xiao Li breathed in the breeze blowing in from the window. Although it carried some fine sand, Xiao Li thoroughly enjoyed it all. It wasn't just the taste of freedom; her long-closed heart, in Claire's impression, had unknowingly opened a small crack. Perhaps in the days to come, as she continuously refreshed her understanding of life and her perception of existence, the closed door in Xiao Li's heart would eventually open one day.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Hey! Claire, what's up? Wait a minute... (whispering) Xiaowen, what are you doing? Can't you keep your hands to yourself? I'm on the phone! This isn't exciting at all!"
After Claire brought Xiao Li back to the space base, she immediately handed Xiao Li over to Mary and then teleported back to her dormitory. After lying on the bed, Claire immediately called Zhang Hao, preparing to tell him and the others the information she had obtained from Geheros.
"Alright, Claire, there was just a bug buzzing in my ear. You can continue talking, I'm listening!"
While answering the phone, Zhang Hao endured Mai Xiaowen's harassment from the side. Unable to bear it any longer, Zhang Hao kissed Mai Xiaowen on the face, which finally made her quiet down.
Mai Xiaowen: Hmm~~~ Xiao Hao kissed me first thing this morning. It seems that the charm of me as his good older sister is still great. Just wait a little longer, it'll be here soon. Soon Xiao Hao will grow up!
After Zhang Hao listened to the information Claire gave him, he immediately thought of what Shen Lan had told him before. It seemed that he would have to chat with Uncle Shen Lan for a while later. After Claire finished talking about the important matter, she couldn't wait to make an appointment with Zhang Hao for the next time they went to Babel Tower together.
Rometheus: What's going on! My Tower of Babel has now become your team-building spot in Asara, huh?! But in my opinion, it's still pretty good. What does that mean? It only means that my Tower of Babel is much better than that guy Demulan's space base. Look, even Claire is thinking of coming here!
Ella: Shameless! It's not like you don't know the real reason, yet you bring this up. If Demulan finds out, he'll probably write you down in his little notebook again.
Since Zhang Hao was unaware of the situation on his side, he asked Claire to wait while he inquired about the details before giving her an answer. Zhang Hao also reassured her:
"Oh, Claire, you're back from Tide Prison now, so why don't you just set a time when you're free? There's no need to rush. Besides, you were injured during your fight with Reis, weren't you? Is your leg better now? Why are you rushing to Tide Prison to pack your things? You should focus on recovering first."
Claire hadn't expected that Xiao Hao already knew she was injured. After using her clever brain to think for a moment, Claire accurately locked onto [Zero] from the list of people who had leaked her information.
Claire: Damn it! I was trying to keep this from Xiao Hao, but this [Zero] just blurted it out. I even told Xiao Hao that I would teach that Reis a lesson for him. To be honest, I didn't expect that Reis would be so troublesome.
"Hehe, well... I was also ambushed back then, and that Reis is really a bit strange. Xiao Hao, you absolutely must not let him get close, otherwise I'm really afraid he'll knock you flying with one punch."
Zhang Hao: Thank you........................ But I really did cough up blood from a single punch.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao struggled to push away the legs of Zoya and Mai Xiaowen that were pressing down on him, and then rolled off the bed.
"Xiao Hao, what did Claire say to you just now? Why did you get out of bed as soon as you hung up the phone? Aren't you going to come and sleep with your sister a little longer?"
Zoya also lazily sat up from the bed, yawned widely, and then opened her arms to Zhang Hao, indicating that she wanted a hug.
"It's nothing, but there are some things I can talk to Uncle Shenlan about. By the way, aren't you guys up yet? It's almost 10 o'clock. I'm going to go find Uncle Shenlan now."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao pushed open the door and walked out. He still needed to go and report to Shen Lan the information he had just received from Sister Claire.
Chapter 476 The Tycoon (1)
"What are you looking at? Xiao Hao has already gotten up and gone out, and you're still lying here like an old man. Get up right now!"
The moment after Zhang Hao left, Zoya picked up a pillow and threw it, landing precisely on Mai Xiaowen's head.
"Hmph, you're making it sound like I really enjoy sleeping in your bed. It's not comfortable at all. You know, Xiao Hao's favorite bed is the one in my room."
Mai Xiaowen snorted coldly, then picked up her blanket and went out.
Zhang Hao: Um... Actually, I still prefer the little bed in my own room.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao found Deep Blue training in the gym downstairs and went up to him, repeating the information Claire had told him earlier.
"Is there really such a saying? Don't worry, Xiao Hao, I will send someone I know to investigate this matter discreetly."
After listening, Shen Lan, though somewhat surprised, calmly analyzed what Claire had said, and then said to Zhang Hao:
"And Xiao Hao, when you get information from someone else, you should first consider the accuracy of that information. For example, what Geheros said about GTI interfering in Asara's politics after helping Asara drive out Hafk, could this be just Geheros's emotional statement?"
As a veteran of GTI, Deep Blue naturally wouldn't assume, like Zhang Hao and Claire, that GTI's higher-ups would actually do such a thing.
Of course, Deep Blue also believes that the possibility mentioned by Geheros is indeed possible. After all, with the constant changes in the top leadership, the current leadership is full of all sorts of strange and wicked people, including those who want to interfere in Asara's politics.
However, Deep Blue naturally remained skeptical of what Gheros, who had been betrayed by GTI, said. After all, Deep Blue considered Gheros to be someone who had also been hurt by GTI, so no one could know whether there were any hidden agendas in his words.
In addition to Claire, whom Xiao Hao described, and Xiao Hao, whom I've been taking care of for so long, although it's not that the two little guys have any intellectual problems, they are still too inexperienced and too trusting of others.
Luna: Little one? Deep Blue, you just called Claire a little one? Does that mean idiots really do look younger than normal people? Why didn't you say I'm a little one too? I'm only 30, I look young too! I can't take it anymore!!!
After listening to Shen Lan's explanation, Zhang Hao nodded. Since Uncle Shen Lan had said he would send someone to GTI headquarters to investigate secretly, he shouldn't need to think about it anymore.
Zhang Hao: Hehehe, instead of thinking about this, I'd rather think about how to unleash a super cool 5A-level combo. Ever since I started playing this white-haired twin-tailed character, I'm about to break free from Iron rank and head straight for Bronze.
After greeting Terry, who was still sweating profusely, Deep Blue went straight back to his room, took out a keypad phone, and silently dialed a number...
"Hey! Xiao Hao, you're finally up! How about we play a thrilling game of Monopoly together?"
When Zhang Hao went upstairs again, he saw Red Wolf and Roy preparing to play Monopoly in Wei Long's room. After seeing Zhang Hao, Roy sent him a team invitation without hesitation. After all, as long as Xiao Hao was there, no matter how badly he played, Xiao Hao would save face for him.
Roy: Hehehe, of course! How could someone as good as me let Xiao Hao be the first one out every round? I'll still try my best to make Wei Long, that guy with negative luck, the first one out a few times!
Zhang Hao couldn't help but recall the times he had played with Roy and his friends before, and Roy's smug face. He immediately changed his mind. He could play with the computer anytime, but the opportunity to really slap Roy in the face was extremely rare!
"Come on! Today we have to beat you until your Dao heart is shattered. What are you pretending for in front of us all day long? Right, Uncle Red Wolf?"
Red Wolf nodded after hearing this and said:
"Don't worry, Xiao Hao, I'll help you get revenge this time. Just watch how I defeat Roy!"
Roy, looking disdainful, gave Red Wolf and Zhang Hao the middle finger each, tilting his head back at a 45-degree angle and saying:
"Hey, so you two who are always last place are actually this arrogant now? Come on, come on! You know, I've been playing against you guys for so long, and I haven't lost a single game. Ugh, the feeling of being invincible... it's really too uncomfortable."
Just as Zhang Hao and Red Wolf, unable to contain themselves any longer, were about to launch an attack on the obnoxious Roy in the corridor, the door beside them opened, and Wei Long poked his head out, saying:
"What are you guys babbling about? I've heard you talking at my door for ages. Are you going to fight or not? If you're going to fight, come in now."
Seeing this, Zhang Hao and Red Wolf exchanged a glance and then decided to let Roy off the hook for now. They would let him see their wrath when they got to the real "battlefield" later!
"9527, 9527! Hurry up and see if there are any items that can help me improve my luck in a short time. This time when I play Monopoly, I'm going to beat Roy's shit out of his wits."
