Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"It was Demulan. She took Xiaohao's phone and told me that Xiaohao wanted to go to the space base with her for a few days. What do you mean by going to play with her daughter? I've never heard of Demulan ever having a daughter. This is just a blatant excuse!"

Mai Xiaowen recounted everything that happened after she answered the phone in the room, then stared at Zoya beside her and said:

"I strongly suspect that it was Rometheus who betrayed Xiao Hao. Otherwise, why would Xiao Hao have been captured by that woman Demulan in the Tower of Babel? I can't even bear to think about what kind of torture Xiao Hao is going through right now. We have to save Xiao Hao!"

“Um… Demulan does have a daughter, didn’t you hear it when Deep Blue held a meeting for us last year, Xiaowen? It seems like we all know about it.”

At this moment, Wei Long weakly raised his hand and said, "When Shen Lan was holding a meeting with them before, he specifically mentioned Demulan. At that time, Shen Lan carefully analyzed Demulan's interpersonal relationships and style of doing things. Shen Lan specifically mentioned her daughter."

"Huh? Is that so? Hiss... Roy, do you know? I... I shouldn't have no recollection of this at all, right?"

Seeing Mai Xiaowen's bewildered expression, Roy couldn't help but say:

"You...you were probably hiding under the table playing on your phone again. You and Zoya are probably the only ones here who don't know."

After saying that, Roy started to think. Suddenly he shouted, which startled Mai Xiaowen, who was standing to the side, so much so that she almost jumped up.

"Hey Roy, what are you doing? You scared me to death, you know? Suddenly yelling like that here, what were you thinking about this time?"

Roy also pressed Mai Xiaowen for an answer:

"Xiaowen, what was Demulan's tone like when you were listening to her speak? And you said that at the end she said the same thing even if Shenlan were here?"

Looking at Roy's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, Mai Xiaowen thought about the situation and said:

"Hmm, judging from his tone, he seems more normal than me, more calm. By the way, Roy, why are you asking this? Shouldn't we be discussing how to rescue Xiao Hao right now?"

However, Roy immediately transformed into Sherlock Holmes, smiling and speaking with certainty to everyone:

"Hmph, I understand, I understand everything! Xiaowen, don't worry, Xiaohao won't be in danger. On the contrary, his luck with women is about to change!"

Mai Xiaowen/Luna/Zoya: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

As if connecting with Roy's train of thought, Wei Long immediately put on an expression of sudden realization, clapped his hands, and said:

"I understand what you mean. Oh well, but Xiao Hao is still young, right? Oh, never mind. This isn't China, I forgot. Hehe."

"Roy, what do you mean? What do you mean Xiao Hao's luck with women is coming? I... I don't believe it!"

Mai Xiaowen and Zoya also grabbed Roy's collar in a bit of excitement, then looked at him as if to say, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll mess with you."

"Hey, wait a minute, don't do anything yet. Let me give you a proper analysis."

"Think about it, if Demulan really wanted to harm Xiaohao, she would never have made this call to you. As for why it was Demulan who called, we don't know yet, but! The fact that she could say the same thing in a calm tone even if she called Shenlan, basically confirms that Demulan really wants Xiaohao to go to her space base for a visit."

Zoya asked, somewhat puzzled:

"No? Why is it okay to be associated with Deep Blue? And if you're not forcing Xiao Hao, why not let him make this call himself?"

"Tsk, listen to what I have to say first. Actually, we can also put ourselves in Demulan's shoes a little. You just happened to take your daughter to Babel Tower that day, and you just happened to run into the boy that your daughter had her eye on before. As a mother, shouldn't you be thinking about giving your precious daughter a chance?"

At this moment, Luna, who was sending a message on her phone, also said:

"Xiao Hao is not in danger at the moment, but the situation on site is quite complicated. Claire only said that Demulan is currently trying to take Xiao Hao to the space base."

Mai Xiaowen immediately thought of what Xiao Hao had told them before: that Demulan wanted him to be her son-in-law. From this perspective, although Xiao Hao was not in any immediate danger, wouldn't it be even more dangerous from another angle?

"No! This makes it even more important for us to rescue Xiao Hao. He's still so young. That old woman Demulan will definitely have her ugly daughter do something bad to Xiao Hao!"

Chapter 524 Roy: Hey, you're getting impatient!

However, Mai Xiaowen became even more excited after hearing that Xiao Hao was no longer in danger.

What a joke! I can't accept how this is going to develop. Xiao Hao hasn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet, and this Demulan is already trying to drag her daughter into it.

In response, Mai Xiaowen grabbed Roy's collar and started shaking him violently, saying at the same time:

"Roy, instead of thinking about these things, you should be thinking about how to bring Xiao Hao back. This is no joke. Who knows if that Demulan's daughter is some kind of scoundrel who's never seen a man before? Besides, my Xiao Hao is so cute. If his daughter sees him... it's unimaginable!"

At this moment, Luna and Zoya also realized the seriousness of the situation. Yes, in the Special Operations Department, the three of them were keeping each other in check, and with Deep Blue's suppression, the three of them dared not do anything bad.

But Demulan's situation is different. First of all, she is not from China, and the three of them have heard about the situation in the United States. If Xiao Hao falls into her daughter's hands, the three of them find it hard to imagine that a normal woman could resist Xiao Hao's temptation.

Mai Xiaowen: If it weren't for the education I received since childhood and the suppression I face from Shenlan here, I definitely wouldn't have been able to stand it. And now you're telling me that the little flower I've carefully nurtured for so long is going to be picked by a stranger? Who can accept this?

After exchanging glances, the three women spoke very seriously to the crowd:

"We must save him! Xiao Hao's situation is extremely dire. If he's disgusted by Demulan's daughter's ugliness, he'll probably have nightmares and blame us."

"Ding dong!"

However, just after the three finished speaking, Luna's phone rang. When Luna took out her phone and opened it, she was immediately silenced.

When everyone saw Luna suddenly make this expression, they all curiously crowded around to see what could have made Luna fall silent.

After looking at the contents of Luna's phone, everyone fell silent. The phone showed pictures that Claire had just sent. In the photos, Zhang Hao was sitting next to Daisy and Cammy, smiling broadly. Demulan seemed to be sparring with Zero, while Rometheus was still cowering to the side, looking like he had been bullied.

"Well... I'm absolutely certain that Demulan's daughter is quite beautiful, and as for Rometheus, we must have misunderstood him..."

Before Roy could finish speaking, Zoya, enraged and embarrassed, threw him off the sofa with an over-the-shoulder throw. Roy then began to imitate Rometheus, silently shrinking against the wall, praying that Zoya couldn't see him.

Roy: Waaaaah, you're such a tigress! It's a miracle Xiao Hao even likes you. Everyone wants to escape this place, you know? If it were me, I would have run away long ago. Look at that gentle, sweet girl next to Demurean's daughter. Compared to her, what makes you, this old lady, any better?

"I'll go report to Deep Blue right now. You all stay here and wait for me."

Zoya had planned to go to the room later and add fuel to the fire to persuade Shenlan to agree to team up with them to rescue Xiaohao, but it is often at these times that accidents are most likely to happen.

"Ah... I just finished talking to Shenlan. He said that since Xiaohao wants to go out and have fun, let him go, as long as he doesn't go to the other high-ranking members of Hafk. He said that Demulan won't lay a hand on Xiaohao."

At this moment, Uluru also said with a proud look that he had told Shenlan about the situation when he received the news. However, what he did not expect was that Shenlan was calmer than all of them combined after learning that Demulan wanted to "invite" Xiaohao to the space base.

Uluru finished speaking with a smile, picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine, completely unaware that Zoya had pulled out a baseball bat from under the sofa, and that Mai Xiaowen and Luna had silently activated their red eyes.

"Oh? So you're quite proud of yourself!"

"Of course, we still need to learn from Deep Blue. We were panicking before, but look how well Deep Blue understands Asara's situation. They even know that Demulan won't lay a hand on Xiao Hao. By the way, Terry, why are you so far away from me? I took a shower the day before yesterday, okay?"

Uluru was wondering why Terry, who was sitting next to him, had suddenly left. After being surrounded by the three women, he realized that something was wrong.

"Um...did I do something wrong? Zoya, what are you doing with that baseball bat? And you two, what are you doing here too?"

Seeing the three women in front of him beginning to show murderous intent, Uluru realized the seriousness of the situation. Just as he was about to ask Red Wolf and Dragon, who were watching the show from the side, Zoya came over with a baseball bat.

Weilong/Red Wolf: Tsk tsk tsk, it's been too long since you've been taught a lesson by Zoya and the others. You actually made such a simple mistake. Well, now that's it. You've ruined their idea and plan to rescue people. Now you can pray to God that you can survive being ganged up on by the three of them.

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

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

"Hey Xiaohao, you're Chinese, right? How come you joined GTI at such a young age? Do you think those guys would even put you on the battlefield? If you ask me, you should join our Hafk as a clerk. You can make money and be safe at the same time. What do you say? Are you tempted?"

Looking at the cute little girl sitting next to Kami, Daisy couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on with this GTI? It's not like we're short of people. Besides, I haven't heard of any high-ranking official's son coming to Asara."

"The sons of those high-ranking officials are usually just good-for-nothing playboys. Those with a little ability will be stuffed into GTI's law enforcement system by those high-ranking officials. Xiao Hao, did your family offend the high-ranking officials of GTI? They actually put you on the battlefield in Asara like this."

Daisy also started thinking about whether the higher-ups at GTI had made any new moves recently, but she couldn't find anything after thinking about it for a while, which made Daisy curious about Zhang Hao's background.

Chapter 525 Rometheus: I was wrong

"Um...it's a secret, so I won't tell you."

Zhang Hao also said that he couldn't even explain his own background. He couldn't very well tell them that he actually came from another world, could he? Nobody would believe that... Of course, Uncle Rometheus and Roy were exceptions.

"Hey Xiaohao, I feel like you and Zero look a lot alike. What's your relationship? I heard from my mom that Zero was created by Uncle Rometheus using android technology, right?"

Seeing the two already wrestling, Kami asked Zhang Hao curiously. Although the difference in their appearances could be seen up close now, when she first saw Zhang Hao on her phone, she really felt that he looked very similar to [Zero].

"Well... we'll have to ask Uncle Rometheus. After all, he's the one who created [Zero]. I can't answer why it looks so much like me."

After hearing this, Daisy also started harassing Rometheus. This guy hides in his Tower of Babel every day doing research and inventions, and who knows what he's come up with. He clearly said before that he was going to study his Relink brain-computer interface properly.

When Daisy checked on him this time, she found that a person had been created out of nowhere. Daisy could only say that Rometheus's blessing was a bit too elaborate. He had a son without a wife, which just showed how invincible engineering guys are.

"Hey you two over there, have you had enough? Ugh, not to be mean, but Demulan, how old are you to be fighting with a kid? Tsk tsk tsk, I'm truly ashamed of you."

Meanwhile, Demulan, still engaged in a battle of wits with Zero, managed to squeeze in a brief moment to hurl a tirade at Daisy:

"That's because you don't know how annoying this little guy is. He's practically a carbon copy of Rometheus. Except for his lack of expression, both of them can drive you crazy with their words."

No sooner had Demulan finished speaking than Zero began to mock him:

"So this is all the strength you have? Why did Rometheus keep telling me to be careful of you? I don't understand. I thought you could hold your own against me like Reis, but it seems you're not even as good as Reis."

Demulan: That wretched brat! Is this the kind of brat people call a troublemaker? It's infuriating to watch, and the culprit behind all this...

Demulan, who was at a loss with Zero for the moment, also looked at Rometheus quite consciously. Rometheus was so frightened that he started trembling by the sofa again. No, this is not his fault. Why should he be the scapegoat?

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I taught him to say that. You're the one who's annoying, okay? My son [Zero]'s main principle is honesty. Is it wrong for an honest child?"

Zhang Hao: Oh ho, it seems I've gained a new superpower! I can now predict the future in a simple way. I can already picture what will happen next in my mind.

Demoulin: You still say you didn't teach it, and that it has nothing to do with you? Looks like I've really been too good-natured. I guess you'll really get a taste of what it's like to be the North Star. (╬▔皿▔)╯

"Hey, Sister Cammy, why don't you try to talk to Aunt Demulan? It looks like she's about to stab Uncle Romeshius with a knife. Hey Uncle Romeshius, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Hao was still talking to Camille about whether they should appease Demulan first, as Rometheus was probably going to suffer again. However, before he could finish speaking, Rometheus rolled over to his side, then kicked Daisy away with his butt, and hid behind Zhang Hao.

Daisy: ? ? ? ? ?

"Rometheus, you really are... hopeless."

With two children still here, Daisy forcibly suppressed the urge to curse, while simultaneously giving herself mental affirmations.

Daisy: Oh, I'm not angry. I'm an educated, highly skilled person. I'll be in Asara soon, where that bastard Rometheus will be my boss. I'll teach him a lesson when that time comes. For now, Daisy, you must hold back and not swear in front of these two kids.

"Rometheus, what kind of skill is it to hide behind Xiao Hao? If you're so capable, come out and show us! Is it appropriate for a grown man to hide behind Xiao Hao? Have you no shame?"

When Demulan saw that Rometheus, that shameless fellow, had actually hidden behind Zhang Hao, he was at a loss as to what to do with Rometheus and could only hold the North Star and say something to the side.

"Why would I go out? Everything I said is the truth! There's a Chinese saying, 'Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial,' you know? I'm doing this for your own good, right, Xiao Hao? Hey Xiao Hao, where are you going? Xiao Hao, you can't do this! Xiao Hao!!!"

Rometheus, relying on the fact that he was hiding behind Zhang Hao and Demulan couldn't make a move, continued to talk recklessly, which finally made Zhang Hao unable to stand it anymore. He immediately stood up and went to Zero's side.

Now that Rometheus had lost his cover, he was completely exposed to Demulan. Looking at Demulan's ambiguous smile, the quick-witted Rometheus immediately begged for mercy:

"I was wrong. Actually, Demulan, I can say nice things. I'll say whatever you want to hear. But can we please not resort to violence for no reason? Xiao Hao and Camick are still here. It's not good for children to see such bloody and violent scenes."

"Has Uncle Rometheus always had such a strong will to survive?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask Zero, who was standing to the side. He had always thought that Uncle Rometheus was acting like this because he liked to joke around. But now, judging from this, it seemed that Uncle Rometheus's behavior after provoking Sister Ella had been etched into his soul.

"Well, he always apologizes immediately whenever he angers Sister Ella. Before you were here, Sister Ella made him kneel on a washboard imported from China."
