Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.
Page 265
Robert was speechless after Desmulan's remark. Had Desmulan simply forgotten about him because he hadn't seen him for a while?
Robert: I worked so hard and diligently to build this perfect agricultural laboratory for the Hafk Group, and you better not tell me you've really forgotten about me.
"The agricultural science laboratory that Mr. Jacob arranged has been completed. I spent a lot of money this time, working overtime and having people work around the clock to finish it. I have now inspected and accepted the entire place. You should report this to Mr. Jacob."
Robert expected Desmoulins to be speechless with surprise at the speed of his construction, but instead, he was met with Desmoulins's slightly disgruntled remark:
"It's finished? How come you're done already? Can you guarantee the quality of this rushed job will be up to standard?"
What Demulan was thinking was that Robert had finished the agricultural lab so quickly, so next she would be facing that bastard Hudson.
"Are you doubting me? Demulan, if you don't trust the quality, you can hire someone to come and inspect it yourself. This agricultural laboratory I built can withstand guided missiles. And you're doubting its quality!"
Robert: Money! I paid to expedite all of this, and you, Desmoulins, are doubting me just because it was done so quickly! Don't you have any conscience?!
"Alright, alright, get all your project settlement documents organized and have someone send them to me. Once I've confirmed everything is correct, I'll report to Mr. Jacob."
Demulan could only stall for time, as he needed a little time to think about how to deal with Hudson.
DeMulland: Sigh... Being the safety director is really too difficult. Cammy, enjoy this relatively peaceful time. When your Aunt Daisy and Hudson come to the space station, your mother is really going to have a breakdown.
At this moment, Kami appeared in the fitness area of Babel Tower with Zhang Hao. Since [Zero] could be considered a minor expert in fitness, Zhang Hao naturally pulled Kami to Babel Tower.
Zhang Hao: Sigh, the main problem is that the private messages Uncle Rometheus sent me are almost exploding. If I don't come here to cook him lunch today, I'm afraid even Zero won't be able to appease him.
At this moment, Zhang Hao was assisting Kami with some simple strength training, while Zero stood aside using Relink brain-computer interface technology to tell Zhang Hao how to help Kami adjust her posture.
However, every time Zhang Hao touched Kami with his finger, Kami would involuntarily tremble, and Zero, seeing this, would point out this irregularity, just like the human-machine interface.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao would repeat the same operation, and under this constant "consumption", Kami's physical strength quickly ran out, and she "weakly" collapsed onto Zhang Hao's body.
"Xiao Hao, let me... let me rest for a bit, I have no strength left."
Kami's face was flushed pink as she lay on Zhang Hao's lap, breathing softly to regulate her breathing. [Zero], after analyzing Kami's performance, gave his assessment:
"It's a bit weak. With such physical attributes, the chances of surviving in Asara are very low. Even if you want to install a Relink brain-computer interface to enhance your combat power, it probably won't add much. After all, your basic attributes are still too poor. Having skills alone is useless."
Reis: Hehehe, that's right, that's right, I have a lot to say about this. If you ask me, what's the point of practicing techniques? Look at my invincible iron fist, it directly made me the strongest man in Asara, okay?
"Hmm... In that case, Xiao Hao will have to trouble you a lot later."
Chapter 606 Kami: Am I in the Atmosphere?
[Zero]: Is something wrong? Why does this sentence sound so off to me?
Zhang Hao, at this moment, seemed to be completely under Kami's thumb, patting his chest and assuring Kami:
"Don't worry about that, Cammy. Back in the day, I was just a weakling, but thanks to Uncle Terry's guidance and Zero's encouragement, my physical abilities are now quite good."
Rometheus and Ella, who were hiding in the monitoring room, couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement as they watched this scene. Rometheus also couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder he's Demulan's son. I really misjudged him before. I didn't expect this Kami to be in the atmosphere."
Rometheus, thinking of Zoya's goofy personality, couldn't help but gleam with amusement. It seemed the future was truly going to be quite exciting.
"That Rometheus, something seems off again. It seems that after Xiao Hao touched him a couple of times, Kami... passed out again."
"what?!"
Rometheus thought he had seen through everything, but after hearing what Ella said, he looked at the screen with disbelief.
Kami, who had been "shyly" on Zhang Hao's lap, was now lying unconscious to the side with a smile on her face.
After exchanging glances for a while, Zhang Hao and Zero decided to carry Kami to the sofa first.
Rometheus: Well, it seems this Kami is still too shy. This tendency to faint for no reason is really...
"She couldn't possibly be allergic to Xiao Hao, could she? She turns red all over and faints as soon as she touches him, so it seems to be a severe allergy."
In the end, this was the conclusion Rometheus came to. When Ella heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Rometheus really could say anything that came out of his mouth. Wasn't it just that the little girl was shy, and that she was allergic to Xiao Hao?
"Sigh, this is no fun anymore. Let's go find Xiao Hao. I want to order food! I want to eat my fill! That Demulan just kidnapped someone, who would have thought I'd be the most heartbroken one! And Ella, I really suggest you stop learning to cook online. Don't we have a master chef right here in our country? Come on, I've seen a bit of the Chinese apprenticeship ceremony. I'll take you to become Xiao Hao's apprentice."
Thinking about the hellish days he had endured over the past two weeks, Rometheus couldn't help but think about taking Ella, this kitchen disaster, to learn cooking from Xiao Hao. He no longer intended to let Ella learn even a fraction of Xiao Hao's culinary skills.
Rometheus: Ella, I just hope you can make some food that I can swallow normally, or perhaps raise the standard a little bit, so that [Zero] can sit down and have a proper bite. After all, with your "unremitting" efforts, my threshold has been forcibly raised quite a bit.
"Tch, let's go, let's go. What's with this apprenticeship ceremony? You just don't like me. I'm not doing it anymore. Why say so much?"
Ella pouted, looking aggrieved, and walked ahead. Rometheus, seeing this, knew something was wrong and quickly chased after her, finally managing to coax her back into a good mood after much persuasion.
Rometheus: Ugh, what a mess! I thought I was the real victim, but now I'm the victim who has to coax the person who almost killed me with her "love meal"!
"Hey, Uncle Rometheus, you've been taking good care of yourself lately. Your little belly is all gone now."
After seeing Rometheus and Ella approaching, Zhang Hao greeted them. Then, after glancing at Rometheus, Zhang Hao said with some surprise.
The main reason is that during the few days I was here, Rometheus really indulged himself every day, eating at a speed and in quantity almost the same as Roy.
However, Roy still goes to the gym to train after eating, so even though he consumes a lot, it's not too bad after the exercise.
But our Rometheus indulged himself during those days, chatting away after eating his fill, and when he got tired, he would lie down on the sofa or bed in his room and turn into a pig.
Naturally, Rometheus's weight also increased rapidly, and a small belly suddenly appeared on his body.
"Haha, really? Looks like I've been taking good care of myself lately. But Xiao Hao, you've finally come! I'm going to indulge myself a bit. Same old stuff, your Uncle Rometheus is really getting impatient!"
Rometheus stepped forward to check on the unconscious Kami. After confirming that it was just a strategic coma, he didn't hesitate to start ordering food with Zhang Hao. Meanwhile, Zero started adding some of his favorite dishes to the menu.
"Okay, just wait. It's still early. Hey Uncle Rometheus, I have a question for you."
Zhang Hao gave an OK sign with a relaxed expression. One of his purposes in coming here was to feed the people in the Tower of Babel, and also to ask Uncle Rometheus for his opinion on Hudson.
"Hehe, Xiao Hao, just ask. Your Uncle Rometheus dares to say that there are very few things about Asara that I don't know."
"Well, it's nothing much, it's just that Hudson, Uncle Romecius, how much do you know about him?"
Upon hearing the name Hudson from Zhang Hao, Rometheus's pupils dilated instantly, and the smile that had been on his face vanished. He looked at Zhang Hao and asked somewhat awkwardly:
"Was it... that guy Demulan who told you?"
Seeing Rometheus's expression, Zhang Hao was also puzzled. Why did Uncle Rometheus have such an expression? Is this Hudson really that powerful? I wonder if Uncle Deep Blue can get more information about him later.
"Sigh... I never thought that Demulan would find out. Xiao Hao, you must tell Demulan that I only pretended to go along with Hudson. I, Rometheus, would never betray anyone. Demulan can rest assured about that."
Chapter 607 Rometheus, the Socially Anxious One
Zhang Hao: WTF?! Uncle Rometheus, what are you talking about? I just wanted to get some information about Hudson from you.
Even Zhang Hao himself didn't expect that his casual remark would cause Rometheus to react so strongly.
Upon seeing Zhang Hao's expression, Rometheus realized that he and Zhang Hao seemed to be on different wavelengths, and gave an awkward smile.
"Um... Xiao Hao, how about you just pretend you didn't hear any of the nonsense I just said?"
Zhang Hao gave Rometheus a "what do you think?" look. Seeing this, Rometheus could only sigh helplessly, then collapsed onto the sofa and began to question his life.
"Alright, Uncle Rometheus, you should just tell me everything. Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you with Aunt Demulan. What are you afraid of?"
Rometheus: I hope that old woman is really as open-minded as you say, Xiao Hao. I feel like she's the kind of person who would try to get back at me if she found something wrong with me.
"Sigh, it's fine to talk to you, but Xiao Hao, you just came to ask me about some basic information about Hudson? Shouldn't Demulan already know that?"
Zhang Hao also said that everyone has multiple perspectives on a matter, and he wanted to know what kind of person Hudson was in Rometheus's eyes.
"Oh... how should I put it? This Hudson, in my eyes, is a rather annoying person."
Zhang Hao: Hmm, that's pretty much what Aunt Demulan said. It seems that Hudson's personality is really quite awful.
Hudson: They're talking nonsense. I'm not disliked at all!
"It seems that Hudson must be quite difficult to get along with to be disliked by you, Uncle Romecius."
Ella then added from the side:
"Xiao Hao, you mustn't get it wrong. Don't be fooled by how your Uncle Rometheus acts in front of you, seemingly easy to get along with. In reality, his personality can be described as quite awful."
When Rometheus heard Ella's assessment of him, he immediately retorted:
"Ella, what are you saying? What do you mean my personality is bad? I'm so understanding... You can't say that about me. My temper and personality are SSS-level, how come you make me sound like that?"
Ella glanced at Rometheus, who had a "sincere" look on his face, then casually took out her phone and, in front of Zhang Hao and Zero, played a video of Rometheus talking to the former captain of the guard team, who is now Black Hawk.
Rometheus: Simada, my alternate account!!!
Zhang Hao: Wow, I never knew Uncle Rometheus had this side to him! The thing I hate most is betrayal!
[Zero]: Hehe, so this is his true face after all.
“Amy, Ella, you shouldn’t be in the room, it’s…it’s so awkward, you know?”
This move almost turned our Rometheus into a socially awkward person. He curled up, covering his head, too ashamed to look at Zhang Hao and the others anymore.
Rometheus: Ugh!!! Damn it, what was I thinking when I said those things? And why didn't you stop me then, Ella? Why did you have to pull out this video and show it off now? I've lost all face!
"Enough! Stop bringing up my past embarrassing moments. I'm begging you, Ella. I'm not the Rometheus I used to be. I've come to my senses!"
Just as Ella was about to share her previous "darkening" experience with Zhang Hao and the others, Rometheus immediately begged Ella to stop talking, saying that if she continued, he might as well jump, since Zhang Hao and Zero were already looking at him strangely.
"Ahem, Hao, let's talk about Hudson properly, okay? My story isn't really that interesting, you don't have to be so curious, really."
Rometheus immediately said he would share with Zhang Hao all about Hudson. This Ella is really not going to stop, is she? I just complained before that her food could kill people, why is she now so crazy about me?
"Humph!"
After seeing Rometheus give her a "warning" look, Ella gave up on causing trouble. Rometheus was just a pushover; what she said was all true, so what was wrong with saying it?
Rometheus: But... but all those "delicacies" you made actually caused real injuries to me, one after another. Is there a problem with me complaining a little?
"The main thing is, Hudson contacted me secretly just the day before yesterday, and the first question you asked me today was about Hudson. I thought Demulan had found out about me."
"But I remember when Aunt Demulan was chatting with Aunt Daisy, Hudson seemed to be getting along a bit with Aunt Demulan."
Zhang Hao recalled how Aunt Demurean frowned involuntarily after hearing Aunt Daisy mention the name Hudson last night, and she also said something.
"Those two? Those two are more than just at odds; their conflict is irreconcilable. Demulan and Hudson completely dislike each other. Hudson is the head of the Efficiency Department, and he's also the largest shareholder of the Hafk Group."
"And your Demurran Achoo, don't let her cold exterior fool you, she's actually a soft-hearted person. You might not know this because you're not with our Hafk Group, but among the places around Asara, the employees at their space base have the best benefits."
Zhang Hao was also curious about this unfamiliar Efficiency Department. What exactly did this Efficiency Department do? Hearing Zhang Hao's question, Rometheus explained to him:
"Based on your understanding, Hudson is most likely someone who is responsible for reducing costs and increasing efficiency for the group, bringing more economic benefits to the Hafk Group."
