Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"Long time no see, Demulan. You seem to be in much better shape than before. Come on, let's go pick up Kami. That little guy has missed you terribly."

Chapter 504 Graduation Ceremony (1)

1. After the car in front of them came to a complete stop, a woman immediately got out of the driver's seat, and upon seeing Demoulan in front of her, she smiled and extended her hand to her.

"No matter when I see you, you're always so free, Daisy."

Seeing the woman in her thirties in front of him, Demulan smiled and shook hands with her.

"Well, otherwise how could you have gone to Asara to be the security director while I can only continue to drift along here?"

As Daisy spoke, she got back into the car. During the years that Demulan had been away in Asara, she would also help take care of Cammy in her spare time.

"Come on, come on. Mr. Jacob has given you so many opportunities to be his secretary, but you just don't want to go. I don't know what you're thinking. You should know how many people are desperate to become Mr. Jacob's assistant."

After getting on the bus, Demulan looked at Daisy humming a tune beside her and complained, "But maybe it's just like her. Even though she's over 40, she still looks like she's in her 30s."

"Tch, being Jacob's secretary is exhausting, I'm not going to do it. Being a small manager is enough for me. Look at you, working so hard every day, you're getting old. If you ask me, you should hurry up and build up your team, and when they're ready, just let your son Cammy take over. You should retire early."

Daisy rolled her eyes at the sky. Her old friend was still so stubborn. No wonder a diligent young girl who had just been hired was transferred to her department right after she became a full-time employee.

Daisy could only say "Well done!" People like them, who are known for their laziness, should be banished far away from her. Otherwise, if they're all around her, even she, the ultimate slacker, will find it hard to eat two fewer chicken legs at lunchtime.

"You, you... what a waste of such a good brain of yours. You clearly have the ability, but you've just squandered it."

Seeing his old friend still acting like he was just slacking off, Demulan smiled helplessly. He really needed to pick up Cammy from the US as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Cammy and Daisy stayed together any longer, Demulan was afraid that Cammy would also be influenced and start to slack off.

Rometheus: Hmm? Demulan, who are you looking down on? Do you think everyone around you in Asara is a master of slacking off? I'll have my Ella train your Camille properly, teach her all her slacking-off skills, and then you'll be furious! Hahaha! Hey, hey, hey, Ella, what are you doing with that stick? You were the best at slacking off in Babel, okay? I wasn't wrong.

"Come on, why work so hard in life? Besides, I made my way into the Hafk Group through hard work when I was young. And I'm over 40 now, what ability do I have left to take risks? What are you looking at? You're not human, are you?"

The two arrived at the school where Kami was, amidst their mutual banter and complaints.

Before Demulan could even get out of the car, he saw Camille, dressed in a pink princess dress, running quickly toward him.

"Mom, you're finally here! The graduation ceremony starts in half an hour. Aunt Daisy, you're here too!"

Daisy rolled her eyes at Camille without hesitation. She had really spoiled this little girl for nothing. As soon as Demulan arrived, she completely forgot about her aunt.

"Hmph, why wouldn't I come? You heartless little ingrate! If anything happens to Asara, you'll have to ask your Aunt Daisy to come to the graduation ceremony, you know?"

After hearing Daisy's complaints, Camille scratched his head sheepishly. He was just excited to see his mother.

"Oh, Aunt Daisy, don't say that! Come on, let's go to the graduation ceremony together!"

After Demurean and Daisy got out of the car, Camille took their hands and led them toward the school.

"Kami, are you really going to go to Asara with your cheapskate mother? Auntie is being very serious, Asara is a very dangerous place right now. Your mother almost died there."

Looking at Cammy bouncing around in front of her, Daisy, who had taken care of her for so many years, was also a little reluctant to let Cammy be taken to that cannibalistic place as Asara by Demulan, that workaholic, and she also spoke up to persuade her.

"What are you saying? Do you expect my Kamie to follow an aunt who only knows how to slack off and wastes her talent? My Kamie is destined for great things. If she were to learn to slack off, that would be truly disastrous."

Seeing that this wretched Daisy was indeed teaching her son Cammy these ideas about slacking off, Demulan also said to Cammy:

“But Cammy, there’s one thing your Aunt Daisy is right about: death is happening every day in Asara. Right now, that place is just… chaotic. But don’t worry, I’ll always stand in front of you until you can stand on your own.”

Daisy curled her lip in disdain after hearing Demulan's assurance to Camille. When she was slacking off here, she suddenly received a message from Rometheus that Demulan had been bombed, and according to Rometheus, Demulan was likely to die on the operating table.

Daisy was so frightened that she immediately took Cammy away from school and flew to Babel on a private plane. At that time, Daisy was thinking that Demulan might not be able to hold on, and all she could think about was that she had to let Cammy see her mother one last time.

At the same time, she kept praying to God. Her best friend had never done anything bad except for being competitive at work. Why did this happen to her?

But when she and Camie rushed to the Tower of Babel, they were stopped outside the operating room by the staff, who said that Rometheus was inside doing his best to save Demulan.

At that moment, Daisy could only sit with Cammy in her arms at the door of the operating room, staring blankly at the door that still flashed "Operating" in front of her.

Chapter 505 Graduation Ceremony (2)

Fortunately, Demulan's life was saved. As Rometheus said, some of Demulan's "original parts" were replaced with cold metal parts.

After Demulan regained consciousness, Daisy took Camille into the sterile ward to see Demulan, who was lying on the bed looking haggard.

"You............................. Sigh, tell me, why did you have to do this?"

Daisy wanted to teach her best friend, who loved to risk her life for no reason, a good lesson, but seeing Demulan's current state, the reprimand she was about to utter turned into a helpless sigh.

When Cammy saw her mother in such a state, tears streamed down her face. She wanted to go to her, but she was afraid of touching Desmulan, so she could only pitifully clutch Daisy's clothes and sob silently to the side.

"Just for Kami's sake, you can't take such risks again, understand? Rometheus told me that you could have dodged it."

After handing Cammy over to Rometheus, Daisy closed the door to the ward, moved a chair to Demulan's bedside, and said to Demulan with a solemn expression that Rometheus's Relink brain-computer interface had saved her life this time.

If Demulan recovers, not to mention the shareholder she saved, Jacob alone will make sure to compensate Demulan properly. But that's what Daisy fears most.

You have to understand that Demulan is only a relatively important employee in Asara right now. If she were given an important position, Daisy could imagine how long Demulan would be working overtime every day.

"Come on, Cammy, don't be like your mom, she's prone to sudden death, you know? She has that Relink brain-computer interface now, don't be like her. We just need to be happy, look at your Aunt Daisy, the secret to me looking so young is being happy every day, you know?"

Seeing that Aunt Daisy was about to argue with her mother again, Cammy quickly said:

"Alright, Mom, Aunt Daisy, you two stop arguing. Let's hurry up and get into the auditorium. I can't wait any longer. Let's go!"

Looking at the auditorium not far ahead, Camille quickened her pace. If she let the two of them continue to bicker, she might hear a lot more of her mother and Aunt Daisy's shocking stories from their younger days.

Camille: Although I am indeed curious about the things that happened when Mom and Aunt Daisy were young, let's leave it at that for now. After all, if we really start arguing, it won't end anytime soon. Let's just let the two of them calm down for a while.

As they got closer to the auditorium, Desmulan saw many parents accompanying their children to the graduation ceremony. When the parents saw Desmulan and Daisy, or more specifically, when they saw Daisy, they all nodded to her, and Daisy responded with a smile.

“Look, look, your abilities are obvious to all. Why don’t you come back to Asara with me this time? You’re reluctant to leave Kami anyway, and you can help me think of ways to persuade Asara to accept our Hafk’s funding.”

Since the university Camille attended was built by the Hafk Group, most of the students there were children of Hafk Group employees. So when these parents saw Daisy, a member of the pre-board of directors from headquarters, they all tried to curry favor with her.

"666, I'm too lazy to argue with you now. Let's see if I should diss you after Kami's graduation ceremony."

Seeing that they had already entered the hall, Daisy gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Demulan. Moreover, Daisy was not sure if she was mistaken, but this time when she met Demulan, she felt that she saw a bit of Rometheus in him.

There was no way around it. In the past, Demulan had never gained the upper hand verbally. She would always be mocked until she was red-faced, and then she would have to coax her properly.

But this time, Daisy clearly sensed a change in Demulan in this regard, and at the same time, she had only ever seen this kind of mockery from that bastard Rometheus.

Daisy: It seems that Demulan has been tormented by Rometheus quite a bit in Asara. Speaking of which, that guy's mouth is really venomous. You know, even I have never gotten the upper hand with him. I really don't know how he has such a mouth.

"Mom, Aunt Daisy, this is a chair I specially prepared for you. I have to go up on stage to give a speech later, so I won't stay here with you."

After leading the two to chairs that had been prepared for them, Kami also indicated that he needed to go backstage to prepare for his next speech.

After all, as the president of the student council and the most outstanding student in this year's class, Kami still needs to go on stage and share his experiences over the years at this university.

"Oh my, Cammy's grown up so fast, we're all getting old. By the way, Demulan, do you think Jacob should come here to present some awards and give these young people some inspirational speeches? It seems like he hasn't done this for two years. The last time was when your secretary Mary received his personal encouragement."

Daisy and Demulan sat in their chairs, and couldn't help but sigh. As the two elders of Hafk's side, they had witnessed how Jacob had built the company into what it was after inheriting it.

"It doesn't matter. In my opinion, that would be a waste of time. The main thing is that we've already drunk enough back then, so we're immune to it now, aren't we?"

Demulan smiled. Was the last one Mary? She was indeed a very outstanding girl, but his own Camille was no less remarkable.

"Oh, it's so good to be young, full of energy. Unlike the two of us, we're both old. What are you looking at? Are you envious that I'm younger than you? Don't even think about it. Even if you hadn't been blown up, and you were working overtime like that every day, you still couldn't say you look younger than me!"

Just as the two were talking, a small commotion suddenly broke out at the doorway, and then the whole scene immediately fell silent.

"Oh, it seems he actually came because of you, a long-time employee."

Chapter 506 Graduation Ceremony (3)

Even without turning around, Daisy smiled at Desmulan, who was standing to the side, upon hearing the quiet scene.

"Come on, the main characters this time aren't you and me. It just shows how outstanding my Kami is."

Demulan seemed to have anticipated this, and said with great certainty, "Just kidding. In my opinion, my son Cammy is just as outstanding as Xiao Hao. If Mary has the same treatment, how could my son Cammy not have it too?"

"Oh, you two young and beautiful ladies, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was thinking of giving you a ride."

Just after Desmulan finished speaking, a gentle male voice came from behind them. Upon hearing this, Desmulan and Daisy immediately stood up, turned around, and looked at Jacob Hafk, saying:

"Long time no see, Mr. Jacob."

"Heh, you still want to ride with me? You've never paid a single cent when you've ridden in my car before, you're just freeloading off your own employees every day, aren't you!"

Upon hearing Daisy's "outrageous" words, Jacob didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he laughed heartily twice.

"Hahaha, you, I really don't know what to say to you. Hey, have you thought it through yet? This is the sixth time I've invited you to be my secretary. I've found that you're still the most efficient. You can do the work of three people by yourself. How about it? Be my secretary, and I'll give you a formal board seat."

Daisy, however, looked at Jacob with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. How could this capitalist still have designs on her? She really shouldn't have been so passionate about her work back then. Now, whenever she wanted to slack off, this damn guy would grab her and not let go.

"Money, money, money, what do I need from you? I'm 40, I'm about to retire, and you're almost 50, can't you just stay home and slack off? You two are hopeless, how did I end up on this pirate ship back then?"

Unlike the incredibly capable Daisy, Desmoulins, standing to the side, still spoke to Jacob with a respectful expression:

“Mr. Jacob, you don’t need to try to persuade Daisy anymore. I tried for ages before you came, but it was all to no avail.”

Jacob smiled after hearing this, then looked at Desmulan, noticing the Relink brain-computer interface on the back of her head, and said:

"You've really worked hard, Demulan. Daisy also told me that you plan to take Kami with you to Asara after attending her graduation ceremony, right? Have you really not considered leaving her here at headquarters, like you did back then?"

Demoulan shook his head after hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and said:

"No, if Cammy were here, given Daisy and Mr. Jacob's personalities, she would probably have a hard time gaining real experience, just like I did back then. After almost a year in Asara, I still naively thought that as long as I communicated well with them, nothing would go wrong."

"If I had the experience I have now back then, I definitely wouldn't have shown them our Hafk's muscles like I did back then. That would have been the fastest way to suppress them. Kami is still too kind. She needs to go to Asara to see what real war is like and what humanity is like so that she can grow up in the shortest amount of time."

Daisy opened her mouth after hearing this, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she kept quiet. After all, she hadn't experienced what Demulan had gone through in Asara, so she wasn't qualified to advise her.

"Alright, the ceremony is about to begin, so I'll take my leave now. I need to go backstage to make some preparations."

Just as Daisy was thinking of something to say to break the sudden silence, Jacob said he needed to go backstage to prepare for his speech. He nodded to the two of them and then walked straight to the back.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's appreciate what your Kamie has accomplished in college. She applied for Human Resource Management to follow in your footsteps, and now she's mastered that whole field. If you ask me, Kamie is much better than you in this area, especially since you seem to prefer using force now."

After most of the attendees had arrived, the graduation ceremony began.

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

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

At this moment, at the Tower of Babel.

"Wow, Xiao Hao, you guys had no idea back then! I almost blurted out to Demulan that you were coming here this weekend! Luckily, I reacted very quickly and managed to cover it up. Otherwise, if Ms. Demulan had found out, I wouldn't have been able to see you this week, Xiao Hao!"

At this moment, Claire was also hugging Zhang Hao, sobbing as she recounted the harrowing experience she had when asking Demulan for leave. Rometheus, upon hearing this, couldn't help but complain:

"That Demulan is really something. He always calls me early in the morning, which is usually before I'm even up. That's why they found out when I was trying to pass on my work to them."
