He didn't want to be locked up in this tidal prison. He had already worked so hard to improve people's lives in Longbow Valley, but why, why did doing good deeds still end up like this?

"I do know a bit about infrastructure development, and I'm very optimistic about the plans for planting farmland around the dam. However, I believe that Lord Sayid, you must slow down your expansion efforts because..."

At this moment, in Barton's eyes, only Said could save him, so he immediately began to show his value in front of him. At the same time, he swore that he had never done anything immoral, and that even if he followed Reis, he was just a follower.

Looking at Barton, who was babbling on and on in front of him, Sayed felt like he wanted to stop him. He hadn't brought one of his external brains with him this time, so no matter how much Barton talked, it wouldn't make a difference.

"It was you?! You still say you didn't do it? We were about to wipe out Reis, but if you hadn't shot me in the leg, otherwise..."

Unfortunately, Claire, who came over wanting to say a few words to Luna, couldn't help but say something after seeing Barton.

Chapter 595 Transaction Completed

"I...I...I could have just headshot you that time! I was just trying to escape! Did you even know where I was aiming at you when you were shot in the thigh?"

Patton expressed his grievances.

When Claire saw Barton looking so aggrieved, she recalled the situation and opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she couldn't utter a single word and just silently went to find Luna.

Claire: Although I still really want to refute him, what he said does seem to make sense. Damn it, why can't my mouth be as sharp as Dr. Rometheus's?

Said then turned his gaze to his other external brain—Zhang Hao.

"Xiao Hao, I know a little about this Patton. He's a bit of a coward, not very brave. But what do you think about what he just said about the development of our dam..."

Zhang Hao had naturally heard all of Barton's previous analysis, and when he saw Said asking about it, Zhang Hao nodded:

"What he said is indeed true, but... what we lack now seems to be your loyalty. You can kneel directly in front of Uncle Said now, but if you encounter a similar situation next time, will you offer your loyalty to others in the same way?"

“Yes, Xiao Hao is right. After all, you are one of Reis’s people. Naturally, we will suspect that your statement is just to avoid being locked up in this Tidal Prison like those other people.”

Saeed: Hehehe, is this what it feels like to have an external brain? I was definitely the best decision I ever made when I strongly begged Xiao Hao to be our dam's strategist.

Seeing Zhang Hao and the others whispering amongst themselves, Demulan used a silent movement technique to quietly approach them from behind. After hearing Zhang Hao's concerns, Demulan couldn't help but smile arrogantly.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious, but it's just this. This kind of thing is very simple for us Hafk. Xiao Hao, just wait and see. I'll go and get someone to bring you the things right now."

After Demulan finished speaking, he immediately took out a walkie-talkie and said something to the other side. Less than a minute later, a Hafk soldier came running over hurriedly with a box in his hand.

After receiving the box, Demulan took out something resembling an injection gun and, to Barton's slightly terrified expression, plunged it into the back of his neck.

"Oh no, I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Barton immediately let out a scream, but after screaming twice more, he touched his neck, seemingly puzzled, as if... nothing was wrong?

"This mini bomb has already been planted in his neck. This remote control can now control his life and death. If you want him dead, just press this button."

Demulan then took out a remote control from the box and said, and Zhang Hao, seeing this, immediately understood Demulan's idea, and said:

"Um... Aunt Demulan, what is the price for this?"

Seeing that Zhang Hao was so cooperative, Demulan chuckled and tossed the remote control to Said, then ruffled Zhang Hao's hair and said:

"Oh, Xiao Hao is so smart. Actually, it's nothing. I was just thinking that since we've run into you here today, why don't you come back to the space base with me and give your sister Cammy a lesson?"

Said looked at the remote control in his hand and Barton, who had already reached behind him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He could only look helplessly at Deep Blue once again.

Deep Blue: What are you looking at? You're such a freeloader! I should never have let Xiao Hao have any contact with you in the first place. Now you've gained another strategist. I won't let Xiao Hao run off to your dam again.

"No problem. Anyway, this mission is over. We can check out what kind of physical condition Sister Cammy is in first."

Seeing that her little Hao was about to be lured away by that wicked woman Demulan again, Mai Xiaowen almost threw a dart at her head. Fortunately, Shen Lan, who had been observing from the side, moved at that moment. He walked up to Demulan, his eyes sharply sweeping over her, and said:

"What is your daughter's educational background? What is her personality and temperament? Do her hobbies overlap with Xiao Hao's? Did she like Xiao Hao on her own, or was she forced into it by you?"

However, this seemingly nitpicking questioning immediately excited our Demoulan. Just kidding, this was the father-in-law coming to inspect our own Camille!

Not only Demulan, but even Claire and Luna, who had been talking non-stop, stopped talking. The three women, including Mai Xiaowen, all looked at Shenlan in unison.

Claire: What's going on? I feel like I'm falling behind in something? That shouldn't be the case, right? I think I knew Hao before Miss Cammy, didn't I?

"Hehe, Instructor Deep Blue, don't worry about that. This is a time when young people can freely date. How could I possibly get involved? Besides, my Kamina listens to Xiao Hao very much. I think... isn't this a great opportunity to build Xiao Hao's confidence?"

After Demulan finished speaking, she glared back at Luna and the other two without any politeness. Hmph, this is her Kami's biggest advantage! You guys can just keep arguing!

"As for your academic qualifications and such, you can rest assured. Apart from being a little weak and having a somewhat demure personality, my Kami is a perfect match for your Xiaohao."

Demulan's address of "your Xiao Hao" brought a satisfied look to Shenlan's face. Demulan, as expected of someone from Hafk, was impeccable when it came to saying nice things.

"Alright, you're right. Let the young people handle their own affairs. Luna, Mai Xiaowen, you two can go and give Ms. Demulan's daughter some pointers this time. After all, Xiao Hao might not be able to teach her properly on his own. We at GTI never let anyone who wants to learn fail to learn what they want."

Chapter 596 Reis, the Player Who's Giving Up

"Damn it, what the hell is that raven doing? Is he even an Assara man anymore? I went through all this trouble to rescue him, and he won't come with me. He's a real monster."

After escaping back to his Diamond Queen Hotel, Reese completely collapsed into his bathtub, looking utterly defeated. This operation was a complete disaster; now Barton and his newly selected guards were gone.

This completely extinguished any thought of taking any further action. Now, the trees near Longbow Valley had been burned, the Mandel bricks were gone, the raven hadn't been rescued, and the plan to use his followers to expand their manpower was also ruined.

"Damn it, am I supposed to be the chosen one? Why is everything I do going wrong?"

After washing off the dust, Reis put on his bathrobe and returned to his study, casually calling out:

"Barton, get over here for a second."

But after shouting, Reese realized that no matter how much he called, Barton wouldn't appear. Frustrated, Reese slammed his hand on the table in front of him.

"Damn it, now we've lost even our life-saving weapon. What are we going to do now?"

Ring ring...

Just as Lei Si was angrily preparing to find two people to practice with, his phone rang.

"Hello, this is Reese."

Reis didn't even need to think about it. Right now, the only person left who could find him besides those from the United States was Youssef.

"I heard... something happened at Tide Prison today? You wouldn't mind telling me about it, would you?"

The phone rang with the voices of people in the US who had been in contact with him. Reis frowned upon hearing this. Did the US already know about the situation at Tide Prison today? If so, would his every move be...?

But now is not the time to think about this in detail. After a brief silence, Reis recounted the actions he had taken with his men to the Tide Prison that day.

After listening to Reese's account, the people from the US scoffed.

"Raven... It seems he's gathered far more information in prison than we imagined. Reis, you've been exposed, you know? Looks like next time we meet, you can just shoot that Raven dead."

Rhys was completely confused. What did he mean by being exposed? When had he ever hidden himself? He could never do something like hiding himself; that was something Barton was an expert at.

"Don't make any more moves for a while. Things won't be peaceful in Hafk either. Try to manage your Longbow Valley well first. All we can give you is money and equipment. We can't help you with the manpower shortage."

Hearing what the people on the other end of the phone said, Reis knew that he really didn't have the ability to cause any more trouble this time. It was safe to say that if Said and Yousef teamed up to mess with him, he would be completely defeated.

Feeling frustrated, Reese hung up the phone. He then went to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of spirits, and turned on his phonograph to play music.

Since everyone is saying they can't cause any more trouble, then let the people below them develop on their own. The biggest contribution they can make is to drink and let loose.

"Damn it, I'm going to write a new score too. I've been playing games here all day and haven't had time to cultivate my artistic talent. Now that I have some free time, I'm going to pick it up again."

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

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

Meanwhile, the Tide Prison was located in this location.

Zhang Hao followed Demulan and Claire back to the space base. Luna and the others had no choice but to leave with Raven, leaving behind a mess for the bewildered Geheros to handle in the wind.

"well............."

After being led away, Raven's eyes started darting around. He looked at Said walking side by side with Deep Blue, and then recalled the little brat who had been good at everything. His mind was in a daze after thinking about it for a while.

"You guys, are you planning to take me to the GTI? And Said, how do you know these GTIs? Because of that brat from before?"

Said glanced at the raven, whose face was full of curiosity, and then began to explain:

"Would you really like to be locked up at the GTI's place?"

"That's still a little better than being sold to Yousef and killed."

After hearing Raven's answer, Said asked with some curiosity. To be honest, he really didn't understand how someone who had been locked up for so many years knew so much about the outside world.

“You seem to know a lot. Then you must know that I really will hand you over to Yousef. After all, you have a good reputation at the dam. Many of the people of Asara have experienced your kindness.”

However, Said's words seemed to have triggered a switch, and just as he was about to unleash his signature infectious laughter, he was interrupted by Terry bumping into him from behind.

Raven: Damn it, why do I keep getting interrupted?! It's so annoying, but I don't think that silly Saeed would lie to me.

Having experienced betrayal once, Raven is now unwilling to trust those lowly people of Asara again. However, he had paid special attention to Said while he was in prison. Said is a simpleton, a pure and simple hunter.

His words made Raven doubt his previous judgment. Now, besides those believers still imprisoned in the Tide Prison, there were also Asara people outside who would not betray him.

"Also, I'm different from Yousef. Although I don't... I'm fairly clear about what he wants you to do, for now, the best solution is for you to live in anonymity at my dam for a while."

Chapter 597 Raven: My brain is about to explode

After hearing Said's words, Raven realized what was happening. He stood still and looked at the GTI team.

"What kind of shady deal... is there between you two?"

Said glared at the raven who seemed to have lost his mind. "Is that how you say it? A 'private deal'? You're not secretly happy about it, but you're starting to doubt it."

Said: It seems we need to send this former prince to the fields for some labor reform at our dam. All you think about all day long is probably just from sitting in that cell with nothing to do.

"Let's go back to Dam Zero first and then talk about the rest. It's not safe here either. Who knows if that guy Reis will bring some more people to ambush us?"

Roy also chimed in, suggesting that it wasn't a good idea for so many of them to be standing right in the middle of the road. While it seemed like there was one less threat from Demulan, Reis was a different story.

Roy: Think about our little Hao. He's been in Asara for so long, and he's only ever suffered at the hands of this Reis.

The group quickly led Raven into the car they had hidden earlier, and then hurriedly returned to Dam Zero.

Upon returning to the dam, Said first told Raven to shut up and quietly roll to the side. Then, he whispered a few words to Veelong and Roy, after which Veelong and Roy smiled and gave each other an OK sign.

Then, under the bewildered gazes of the others, Wei Long and Roy began punching and kicking Said.

After being thoroughly beaten up, Said silently got up from the ground, looked at his latest battle-damaged skin in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Sayyid took out his phone and made a call to Yousef:

"What do you want, Saeed? What's wrong with you? Was your dam attacked?"

After answering the phone, Yousef was still impatient and wanted to ask what Saeed wanted to talk to him about at this hour. However, when he turned around and looked at Saeed, he was startled by Saeed's "disheveled" appearance.
