Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"And don't worry about Claire, this week Demulan is going back to pick up her Cammy. Wow, time really flies! Cammy has already graduated from college in the blink of an eye!"
Then Rometheus, quite narcissistically, struck a pose and proudly told everyone:
"Demulan originally said she wanted to come to me this week to replace her Relink brain-computer interface, but luckily I was clear-headed at the time and insisted that this week's surgery schedule was already full, so she should bring Kami next week. Speaking of which, it seems that Xiao Hao can't come to play next week."
After hearing this sad news, [Zero] looked at Zhang Hao and said:
"Xiao Hao, why don't you take me there when you go back tomorrow? If Rometheus doesn't see you, he'll start nagging me again. It's so annoying."
Zhang Hao shrugged helplessly after hearing this. He didn't even know when Uncle Shenlan would be back. If he took Zero back now, Zhang Hao could only say that he was very worried that Zero might be messed up by Brother Weilong and Roy.
After all, there was only Uncle Rometheus who was a bit of a nuisance at the Tower of Babel, but once you get to the Special Operations Department, it's a complete mess!
Chapter 507 Back in the day, I...
Zhang Hao can already picture the expressions on Wei Long and Roy's faces when they see "Zero".
Zhang Hao: Comparing them like this, it's definitely safer for Zero to stay with Uncle Rometheus, especially now that Uncle Deep Blue isn't in the Special Operations Department. I really don't even want to think about what that would be like.
"Let's just forget about it, Zero. You know, without Uncle Deep Blue's suppression, I really don't want to even think about what those two guys might do to you. Of course, you can easily subdue those two, but in my opinion, let's just forget about it."
Seeing that Zhang Hao had already said so, Zero had no choice but to obediently nod. Since he couldn't see it, he would keep a little hope and wait until next week to meet Xiao Hao again.
"Oh, it's only been a week since we last met. That's nothing! When I was in Tide Prison for so long, I couldn't even contact Xiao Hao. I didn't have the same conditions you have now!"
Claire jumped out with a "whoosh" in response, but Zero coldly said:
"You think you can compare to me? How long have you known Xiao Hao? Do you even know when I met Xiao Hao? Besides, you don't look like a good person at all. The way you look at Xiao Hao is just like how those women at GTI looked at him. My eyes don't lie."
After Zero finished speaking expressionlessly, Zhang Hao, who was still in Claire's arms, stared blankly up at Claire holding him. Would Claire look at him like Xiaowen and the others?
But when I'm with Claire, it seems like she just treats me like a younger brother.
[Zero]: It seems even Xiao Hao was fooled by her. If I hadn't woken up that morning drunk and not seen Xiao Hao next to me, I would have almost been deceived by this harmless guy!
"Hmph, so what if it's been a long time! Whether a relationship is good or not isn't determined by the length of time, okay? You know, Xiao Hao and I hit it off immediately, okay? Look at you, you've known Xiao Hao for so long, and your relationship is about the same as mine! Right, Xiao Hao!"
Zhang Hao could only remain silent. There was still a difference. After all, his relationship with Zero had gone beyond ordinary friendship. Moreover, as Zero's older brother, the bond between them was stronger than Claire had imagined.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you. Just entertain yourself."
[Zero] was too lazy to argue with Claire anymore. She had already said enough today. She would rather spend the time looking at Xiao Hao. If she kept talking to Claire, this chatterbox, it would never end.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Xiao Hao, look at him, he's really no fun at all. Speaking of which, someone like [Zero] is more suited to a place like Tide Prison. Only he could stay there."
"Hey! Demulan actually updated his status. Is this Kami? Wow, she looks so different now I almost don't recognize her. Tsk tsk tsk, she looks much gentler than her mother. I'll see if I can poach her. I don't want her to be led astray by that Demulan guy."
Demoulin: You.........you shameless bastard, you're using all my words!!!
Rometheus, who was lying on the side scrolling through his phone, also saw Demulan's activity. You should know that this was Demulan's first activity after being bombed for so long.
At the same time, Rometheus also saw Daisy in the photo that had challenged his sharp-tongued authority countless times. This woman... really hasn't changed at all. It can only be said that when it comes to taking care of herself while slacking off, she really is an authority!
Rometheus: Sigh, I used to be a handsome and dashing guy. It's just that I've been too responsible and hardworking, and I've aged quite a bit. Luckily, I can eat Xiao Hao's cooking every week now, and I feel like I've become a lot younger lately!
"Huh? Let me see, Demulan can even take selfies? I never see this before! Xiao Hao, aren't you guys coming to see? Oh my god, Claire, you've already commented!"
Hearing this, Ella, who was about to come and see, was thinking of asking Claire and Xiao Hao to come along. However, after taking Rometheus's phone and refreshing it, she saw Claire's comment under the post.
Claire: Wow, Ms. Desmoulins is actually smiling! She looks so happy!
“Claire, you… never mind, I think Ms. Desmulan is already used to it.”
"Hey! Rometheus, who is this woman standing next to Demulan? She looks very elegant. Is she a high-ranking member of Hafk's side?"
After looking at Demulan and Camille, Ella turned her gaze to Daisy, who was standing next to Demulan, and asked Rometheus.
“Oh, this person is called Daisy. It’s normal that you don’t know her. This guy can be said to be a veteran. Back when Demulan was still at the Hafk headquarters, he had a good relationship with this guy.”
"You know, when I first met Demulan, she was just a person who only knew how to work hard without lifting a finger. Of course, she was quite capable. I remember when I met her in Asara, she wasn't the director of the space base yet. I said a few things to her and she didn't know how to talk back!"
Seeing this, Rometheus started to give a little explanation. After Claire heard that there was a new story to hear, she threw her phone aside, picked up Zhang Hao, and moved over to Rometheus's location, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Really? Was Ms. Desmulan ever that shy? I never would have guessed!"
"That's right, I was way more powerful than her back then! She only dared to talk to Daisy after I dissed her, and then this woman called me late at night and gave me a good scolding, which completely stunned me."
"But who am I? I am Rometheus! I can take this loss. So I immediately started hurling insults at her. That battle lasted for more than 40 minutes. In the end, both of our voices were hoarse from shouting."
Chapter 508 What is Right and Wrong?
When talking about his verbal battle with Daisy, Rometheus couldn't help but show an expression of unfinished business; it was truly an extremely enjoyable fight.
All he remembered was that after answering the phone, Daisy's rapid-fire scolding filled his ears. Faced with this sudden battle, Rometheus showed no fear, but rather a hint of excitement. Was this a declaration of war against him?
It's important to know that Rometheus was actually very lonely at that time. After accepting funding from the Hafk Group and becoming the chief researcher, Zoya scolded him severely. In order to pursue his dream, he resolutely locked himself in the laboratory and kept conducting Relink brain-computer interface experiments.
Not long ago, I bullied a taciturn guy with white hair, and he left with tears in his eyes right in front of me. Judging from this situation, he called for help?!
However, if Daisy's attacks were like a barrage of bullets, then Rometheus was like a Gatling gun. In the end, Daisy lost her voice first and narrowly lost, while Rometheus, after hurling insults for another 5 minutes, also became speechless, just like Daisy.
"See, this is what Zhang Li is all about, you know? Even if my tone was a little off when I was talking to Demulan, even if she called in reinforcements, she still couldn't do anything to me!"
Zhang Hao/Claire/Ella: No? So it was you who was stirring up trouble from beginning to end? You even made Desmoulin's eyes turn red back then? Is that what you're so smug about?
"What are you looking at? Don't be fooled by the fact that Demulan is currently suppressing me. If it weren't for her daily habit of using force to suppress me and waving that broken North Star in front of me, do you think I could have made her eyes red again? My tongue is very sharp!"
Roy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't disgrace the Roy family. You know, the mouths of the Roy family are like controlled knives! This is real strength! If those people didn't like to fight every day, my position would have been second only to the leader long ago!
"Lack of manners."
Regarding the glorious achievements Rometheus mentioned earlier, [Zero] also directly offered his own interpretation.
Upon hearing this, Rometheus once again "weakly" collapsed to the ground and began to silently shed tears by himself.
Rometheus: Waaaaah, my precious eldest son actually thinks of me like this! I'm such a bad father!
[Zero]: Get lost. No wonder so many people in Asara despise you. When Demulan comes with the North Star, you'll be in for a world of hurt.
"Alright, alright, I'm not messing around with you guys anymore. Come on, Claire, let's install the Relink brain-computer interface on you and [Zero] today. I'll install it on Xiaohao tomorrow after I've had some rest."
After rolling around on the floor for a while, polishing it until it shone, Rometheus silently got up after realizing that no one was paying any attention to him.
Then, after thinking about the most important matter at hand, he spoke with Claire and Zero.
"Oh! Really? Shall we start now? Will it hurt? Do you need me to get some kind of anesthesia or something...?"
Upon hearing that they would be fitted with Relink brain-computer interfaces, Claire became excited and began asking questions, which Ella answered one by one.
"Alright, alright, Claire, stop asking now. Let me finish this for you first. Anyway, [Zero] is still relatively harder than you, is that alright, my dear?"
Rometheus interrupted Claire, who was still asking Ayla questions, with a forced silence. This young girl had the air of her younger self.
"I'm fine with anything, you guys go ahead, Xiaohao and I are going to play."
Zero also said that there was no problem at all, and that he could take advantage of this time to play a couple of games with Xiao Hao.
"If there are no problems, let's go to the operating room. Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao, I want to eat fried pork cutlet when I eat later!"
Before entering the infirmary, Rometheus didn't forget to order food, as he had been eagerly anticipating Xiao Hao's weekly visit.
Adding to the sadness was the thought that the despicable Demulan would be coming to his place next week, meaning he wouldn't be able to enjoy Xiao Hao's cooking.
Rometheus also said that he must eat his fill this weekend to ease his sadness at not being able to see Xiaohao next week.
Ella: Why are you making so many excuses? It's just that you're craving pigs, and you're spouting all this useless nonsense.
"Don't worry, Uncle Rometheus, you'll definitely have a great time this weekend."
After receiving Zhang Hao's assurance, Rometheus walked into the operating room with a smile. With the reward of delicious food from Xiao Hao, he was even more motivated to install the Relink brain-computer interface on Claire later.
After Rometheus and the others arrived at the operating room, Zhang Hao and Zero exchanged a glance, and then walked towards Zhang Hao's room in perfect unison.
"Xiao Hao, are all the people in the Hafk Group bad?"
While waiting for the computer to start, [Zero] suddenly blurted out these words to Zhang Hao.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao looked at Zero with some surprise. This was a huge step forward for Zero's development!
"Regarding this issue, I'd like to first understand what your opinion is, [Zero]."
At this moment, Zhang Hao also began to wonder what Zero's views on right and wrong, good and bad in this world were after he started to think independently, since he had always obediently followed orders.
“I… I can’t explain it clearly, but I feel that the Hafk Group is very contradictory with Asara.”
"When I was looking at the previous materials, I saw that Rometheus had taken many names of people from Asara to conduct brain experiments, including children."
"But I also saw in his plan that once the Relink brain-computer interface technology matures, it will be a great invention that can save many people."
"Moreover, before I came to the Hafk Group, when I was still possessing your body, all I saw was Hafk's destruction and exploitation of Asara."
"But after I delved deeper, I saw the changes Hafk made to the land after he entered Asara."
Chapter 509 Besides Reis
[Zero] also shared his views on the actions of the Hafk Group, stating that he had previously believed the Hafk Group to be nothing more than a bunch of villains who only knew how to plunder the rare mineral resources of the Asara people.
However, as Zero learns more about the Hafk Group and Rometheus, who doesn't seem like a good person, he finds himself confused, realizing that things are not quite what he expected.
Rometheus, whom I previously thought was just some kind of behind-the-scenes boss, actually hoped to bring hope to the disabled people around the world. And the Hafk Group, which only knew how to seize resources and bully backward countries like Asara, also brought about changes to Asara, although the process was... somewhat different from what I had imagined.
"Hmm... Is that so? So, [Zero], you're also confused right now. The fact that the process and the result are completely opposite has left you feeling puzzled, right? In your opinion, it was clearly Uncle Rometheus or the Hafk Group who did these bad things, but the final result tells you that they were actually trying to save more people. You can't accept that all at once, can you?"
[Zero] nodded after hearing this. If things had continued to develop normally like this, they should have been condemned by the whole world, right? But the reality was quite the opposite.
Putting everything else aside, during the time [Zero] spent with Rometheus, he discovered that apart from Rometheus's tendency to act crazy and sometimes turn to the dark side, his idea of using the Relink brain-computer interface to change the world never seemed to change.
As for the Hafk Group, although it is said that it brought changes to the system and technology on Asara's side, it still cannot be said that it is a good thing. Deep down in the heart of [Zero], it is still an aggressor.
"The only difference is that we will see different things if we look at it from different perspectives."
“You see, when you were still in my mental world, you were looking at Hafk from GTI’s perspective. In GTI’s eyes, Hafk was a big threat because it had remarkable achievements not only in technology, medicine, and finance.”
"In the military sphere, the Hafk Group has also made the United Nations feel threatened, which is why, from the GTI's perspective, there is almost no positive image of the Hafk Group."
After seeing that [Zero] had entered "thinking mode," Zhang Hao continued:
"Think about it. Hafk's current goal seems to be to use their technology to exchange for rare metals and soil resources in Asara. However, Asara doesn't need Hafk's funding because Youssef led a coup. So they started to drive Hafk away."
"But think about it, would such a huge company as Hafk be threatened by these people? Let's not even talk about Demulan, just look at Uncle Rometheus. [Zero] Do you really think Uncle Rometheus truly respects Asara's side from the bottom of his heart?"
"I don't think so. He always seems so carefree and irresponsible."
