“That’s right. Even Uncle Rometheus didn’t consider Asara’s people as opponents. Their current all-out resistance has only slowed down Hafk’s mining operations in this area.”

Faced with the uncertainty in Zero's tone, Zhang Hao told him directly and with absolute certainty that Hafk's side didn't actually take Asara's people seriously at all.

“But if we change our perspective and put ourselves in the shoes of the Asara people in Bakshi, Longbow Valley, you’ll find that things become different.”

"Under the influence of Hafk Technology, they have a stable source of water and electricity, and the technology is constantly being upgraded. Coupled with Reis's idiotic and incompetent management style, in their eyes, Hafk might be a better choice, right?"

Seeing Zero's sudden realization, Zhang Hao felt a little embarrassed. This learning speed? He couldn't possibly envy that!

Zhang Hao: Hahaha, bro, my learning ability right now is like I've got a cheat code! How could I possibly remember so much stuff before? And putting myself in someone else's shoes? Am I really that smart? Wow, this talent just gets better the more I use it! I feel like I'm a genius now!

"So, you see, people look at this matter differently from different perspectives. However, there is an exception in my eyes, and that exception is Reis. If you ask me, if this guy were dead, none of this nonsense would have happened."

"Look at everything that's happened lately. Not a single thing is unrelated to this guy. He's a monster! Not only do the Hafk Group hate him, but even the ordinary people of GTI and Asara despise him!"

At this point, Zhang Hao couldn't help but curse, "This Reis really doesn't do anything good all day long. He says he'll lead the people of Asara to overthrow Hafk, but he's the one who's most ruthless in the internal strife and bullying the ordinary people of Asara."

If this guy dies, Zhang Hao said that the liberation of Asara would be brought forward by a lot. This Reis is simply a model of evil. Everything he has done can be said to be for his own selfish desires, whether it is the Mandel brick or the destruction of Hafk's Skynet satellite, which caused damage to the houses of many people in Asara.

Even Hafk wouldn't harm the people of Asara for no reason, but Reis is different. He exploits and oppresses them. Zhang Hao sees no spirit of a leader in him at all. This guy is just a naked warlord.

"Indeed, and that guy is very strange. I don't know why, but when I fought him last time, I found that his strength had increased again, and he even had so many subordinates willing to work for him."

Zero nodded in agreement, saying that this guy was currently in a state of disliking him but unable to get rid of him, and the thought of him made him feel disgusted.

"I understand, Xiao Hao. We can't judge a book by its cover, except for that guy, Reis."

Chapter 510 Kami's Husband?

"WTF? Demulan, do you dare say that again? You found a future partner for Kami in that godforsaken place, Asara? What?! And a GTI at that?! Oh my god, I recognize every single word you say, but why don't I understand it when they're put together?"

Meanwhile, in a private room at a high-end restaurant, Daisy, upon hearing that Demulan had already found a partner for Camille, also let out a sharp, explosive sound.

Daisy stared at Demulan in disbelief. Had this guy developed a second personality from the explosion?! Camille had just graduated from university, and he'd found her some random guy somewhere? Had he gone mad?

"Why are you so agitated? My daughter Cammy knows perfectly well. I've even shown her the photos. Cammy, listen to your mother. After dinner, go back and get ready. Dress up nicely and come see Xiaohao tomorrow. Don't let him run away again."

Daisy immediately turned her gaze to Cammy. At this moment, the well-behaved and sensible Cammy was so unfamiliar to her. How come she wouldn't even tell her aunt such an important thing now?

"Kami, why have I never heard you say that your mother just randomly found you a husband? Why didn't you refuse? Oh dear, you're still so young. Shouldn't you be the one to choose what kind of person you choose in the future?"

As she spoke, Daisy once again turned her fire on Demulan, that old fogey. He had previously told her that he wouldn't interfere with Camille's future life, but now, he insisted on taking her to that war-torn Asara.

She didn't say anything about going to Asara, since it would improve Cammy's career path and broaden her horizons. But now this Demulan is saying he's even found Cammy's future husband? Isn't that a joke?

As the good aunt who has taken care of Cammy in the US for so long, Daisy also said that it was time for her to stand up and have a good talk about this Demulan. This guy is really too much. He knew that Cammy would not refuse the requests she made, but he has gone too far now.

"Demulan, you're so old-fashioned! Have you ever seen a mother like you? Free love is still the popular trend these days, okay? Didn't you find your other half at the company back then? How come you're starting to arrange marriages for Cammy now? Did you even ask Cammy if she was willing?"

"Kami, you don't need to stand here watching. Your Aunt Daisy will take care of things for you. Just say that you still want to date freely, and I'll diss your cheap mother right now."

Daisy stopped Demulan from explaining anything, patted her chest and said to Cammy, "What are you talking about? With your aunt here, how can you let Demulan do whatever he wants?"

"Um... Aunt Daisy, actually Xiao Hao seems like a very nice person. My mom just said that I should get to know him first. You don't need to get so excited. It's not like my mom forced me to."

However, to Daisy's surprise, Camille suddenly became shy, and her face seemed to... turn red?

Daisy: I never imagined that the betrayal would come so suddenly, catching me completely off guard.

"You... Cammy, you absolutely mustn't end up like your love-struck mom. Your dad was quite handsome back then, and he attracted your mom, who couldn't say a word, even before they knew each other. But once they got to know each other, your auntie really couldn't stop him."

"As for what happened to your dad later, your mom has told you about it many times, right? You have no idea what your mom was like back then... Why are you gagging me? Did I say something wrong? Back then, you were completely bewitched..."

Just as Daisy was about to share with Cammy how she used to swoon over Demulan, she was immediately and forcefully suppressed by Demulan, and could only shake her head and make "woo-woo" sounds.

"Alright, Cammy, don't listen to your Aunt Daisy's nonsense. This person started acting crazy after drinking two glasses of red wine. You must not follow her example."

As Demulan spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket, displayed Zhang Hao's photo, and placed it in front of Daisy, saying:

"Hmph, even my infatuation is better than your eternal spinster status. Look, I finally found someone who's a perfect match for Kami. Besides, Xiao Hao is not only cute, but also polite. To join GTI at this age, his skills must be excellent."

Demulan also started chattering to Daisy about Zhang Hao's good points (most of which were imagined by Demulan herself). In her description, Zhang Hao was simply a perfect candidate without any flaws.

"No? Are you out of your mind from being blown up? This little boy... doesn't even look like he's an adult yet? Are you even human? Kami, you too, I thought he was older than you. Listen to your aunt, you can't handle this little boy."

"Such an adorable little boy with so many good qualities, why not leave him to Auntie? Auntie is old and experienced, and I can handle this little boy without any problem. Oh, Demulan, don't come any closer! I'm warning you, I might yell! Oh, I was just kidding."

After seeing Zhang Hao in the photo, Daisy instantly understood why Desmoulins had immediately decided that he was Camille's future husband. After all, he was really cute.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if he grows up a few more years, will he continue to be cute, or will he become incredibly handsome? Oh my, Demulan, you really know how to find such an adorable little boy. But wait, didn't you say before that he was from GTI?"

"You said you'd take Kami to meet someone from GTI tomorrow... You kidnapped someone from GTI? And a kid at that? I'm so ashamed, Demulan, you're something else. I don't recognize you anymore. You've got some nerve, daring to kidnap someone from GTI."

Chapter 511 Hurry up and come!

Upon realizing this, Daisy looked at Demulan in shock once again. She felt that her best friend in front of her was a complete stranger. Where had the obedient Demulan who had been brought to tears by Rometheus gone?

Daisy: Look what a bomb can do to someone! Even the shareholders wouldn't dare to kidnap someone from GTI in person. No wonder Demulan kept telling me to work harder. Is he planning to make a mistake and go to jail so I can bail her out?

"You... your imagination is really on par with that of Rometheus. When did I ever say I kidnapped anyone? How could you think of me as that kind of person?"

Regarding Daisy's unpredictable thought process, Desmoulins said he had only ever seen it with that mad scientist, Rometheus. Hearing this, Daisy stopped her reverie and asked curiously:

"Huh? This isn't kidnapping? Then you... have gotten involved with the people from GTI?"

"Stop, stop fantasizing. Let me finish. Kami, you should listen too, since I haven't told you what happened next."

Seeing that Daisy was still lost in her own thoughts, Desmulan could only sigh helplessly and ask Daisy to stop her wild imagination and listen to her explanation.

After hearing Desmoulins' explanation, Daisy looked enlightened and said:

"Oh~~~ So you still want to kidnap someone, you just haven't made a move yet. And you even schemed against Rometheus in order to capture them. Well done, Demulan. I didn't expect you to have improved so much."

Upon hearing this, Desmulan immediately wanted to retort, but after turning his head and looking at Daisy's face, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

Demulan: Oh no, it seems Daisy really was right... This is a bit awkward.

"Mom, I think we shouldn't do this. After all, they're a GTI member. Would it be inappropriate for us to do this?"

Seeing that even Camille said that, Demulan helplessly rubbed his temples. He should have known better than to explain. Now he looked like a bad guy about to kidnap a child.

Daisy: It's not just similar, it's clearly you, okay? All that talk before was just to beautify the atrocities you're about to commit. I saw right through you, Demulan.

"It's alright. Cammy, it's good that you come with me to meet them tomorrow. Anyway, I need to go find Rometheus to replace my brain-computer interface, so it won't take up any time."

Demulan brushed it off lightly, saying, "What a joke! How could I possibly let such a good opportunity slip by? Besides, I was just 'inviting' Xiao Hao to visit his future home."

After silently mentally manipulating himself, Demoulan naturally cut a piece of steak from the steak in front of him and put it in his mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't be bothered to talk to you. Oh dear, when you're all gone, who's going to keep me company? Sigh, I'll be all alone in the US again. How pathetic!"

Daisy sighed as she thought about how Camille would be going back to Asara with Demulan soon. The thought of being alone and languishing at headquarters again made her feel dejected.

"Hmph, you've already said it, so you just want to go to Asara's place. You're making it seem like I don't know what you're thinking. They just happen to be short of a board member there, you've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

Camille, who had been thinking about how to comfort Daisy after hearing her long sigh, immediately looked at Daisy with bright, sparkling eyes after hearing Desmulan's words and asked:

"Really, Aunt Daisy! You're coming to Assara too? That's wonderful!"

"Demulan, you........666, do you have a cheat code? But for now, I can only say that I just have this idea. After all, even Cammy is gone, and I'm not comfortable slacking off here by myself. If I go to Asara, Demulan, you can help me with the work."

Daisy winked at Demulan as she spoke, but this time Demulan didn't roll her eyes at her. Instead, she snorted and leaned back in her chair as if she had agreed.

Rometheus: Double standards! This is blatant double standards! How come you're ready to attack me for doing me a little favor? I saved your life, for goodness' sake, and you won't even help with this small thing? But you have no complaints about Daisy dumping the problem on you?! Is there no justice in this world? You just know how to bully an honest person like me!

"Oh, Aunt Daisy, since you already have an idea, why not just put it into practice? Besides, who knows, once you get to Asara's side, you might be able to change the situation between the two sides!"

After hearing Camille's "naive" words, Demulan interrupted, saying:

"Kami, this matter is far more complex than you think. Richard's previous board meeting was also aimed at resolving Asara's issues... Of course, it wasn't entirely that simple. Even if your Aunt Daisy's position is more secure than Richard's, it's still unlikely to change the current situation between Hafk and Asara."

Thinking of Reis in Longbow Valley, Demulan wanted to directly deploy a missile swarm to blast through Longbow Valley. If it weren't for this guy causing trouble here, the relationship between Hafk and Asara wouldn't be so strained.

Demulan: It's not just this Reis, there was also that Hamk before, he was a bastard too. These two were practically the two biggest CS in Asara. It's only because Hamk was taken down by Reis that the situation would have been... a complete mess.

"I'm full. Oh, I'm off. We can talk about it when we get to Asara. Demulan, remember to have someone bring me back. I'm going to Asara first to check out the living conditions. I'll have to outwit and outfight those vampires again if I want to go there later!"

Chapter 512 Conversation

Daisy, who was already full, couldn't help but urge Demulan and Camille to eat. These two really were mother and daughter; she was talking while eating, but the two of them stopped eating once they started talking.

"Why are you rushing me? You eat so fast, that's fine. Cammy, don't pay any attention to her. We ladies eat slowly and carefully. I came here in a private jet. You can have someone go to your place and move everything you need onto the plane."

Daisy couldn't help but scoff at Desmulan's words. This Desmulan, back then he told her that he would never be like these high-ranking officials who were corrupted by money and power, but what happened now?

Demulan: Oh my god, this smells so good! Besides, this private jet was a gift from that high-ranking executive. I risked my life for it, so what's wrong with enjoying it? Moreover, it can be used as Kami's dowry, which will put my Kami far ahead in terms of status and progress.

After finishing their meal, the group drove back to the headquarters of the Hafk Group. After getting out of the car, Demulan and the others saw that people were already loading Cammy's belongings onto her plane.

"Hey, you're already here, aren't you going up to take a look?"

Daisy pointed to the headquarters on the side and extended an invitation to Demulan.

"What's so interesting about this place? I used to live there every day when I was working overtime. Why don't you take Kami up there for a look? I feel nauseous just thinking about that place."

"What?! You...you really are Demulan? You're not in the midst of fierce competition anymore? I feel disgusted just looking at your old workstation?"

Daisy looked at Demulan with an "OMG" expression. This was really bad. If Demulan wasn't going to get involved in the internal competition, how was she supposed to delegate tasks to her? Was she, as the board member, going to have to handle it herself?

Daisy: No way! I just want to go there and live a comfortable retirement!

"I'm already this old, what's the point of me working hard? I've been working hard for so many years, I've already reached the limit, okay? Unlike you, you can still get a seat on the board of directors even by just sitting around doing nothing. When you officially take office, you'll break the record for the poorest board member."

Daisy was incredulous when she heard Demulan say that she was old, and she pulled Camille aside, gradually distancing herself from Demulan.

“You’re terrible, Cammy. You can’t be like your current mother. This unmotivated woman is completely ruined. Not only is she full of violence, but now she’s even giving up.”

"No wonder I was wondering why Mary was transferred to you right after her internship. It turns out she was exploited by you, you heartless woman."

Faced with Daisy's words, Desmulan surprisingly did not refute them. After all, in terms of facts, it seemed to be true. However, this was mainly because Mary was just too capable. Things that he would normally have to handle were now perfectly handled by Mary, and he only needed to sign a document.

"Hehe, sorry, I recently found a gem in Tide Prison. Her skills are just as good as Mary's. I can only say that even if I really want to work, there's nothing I can do. What can I do when all my subordinates are so capable?"

Seeing Demulan's familiar shameless expression, Daisy felt as if she were seeing Rometheus standing opposite her. Weren't these two mortal enemies? How come they're starting to look more and more alike? It made her fists clench.

"You...you really have no shame. Come on, Kami, I'll take you inside and we'll go through the whole story of your mom working overtime and competing fiercely every day at this headquarters. You don't need to work as hard as she did back then, but you can't just give up like she is now, understand? After all, when I get there, one person giving up is enough..."

Watching Daisy lead Cammy into the interior of the Hafk Group, Demulan casually sat down on a chair to the side. Looking at the place he had dedicated most of his life to, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Why are you sighing, Demulan? You were never like this back then. You may have looked honest and unassuming, but you couldn't hide the pride in your eyes."

Just then, Jacob's voice suddenly came from behind. Demulan immediately wanted to stand up and greet him, but before he could get up, Jacob pressed him down with his hand.
