Rometheus: Hey, hey, hey! That's not right. I didn't get on your pirate ship. I'm a law-abiding citizen, okay? The main thing is that I took the benefits, but at most I gave them to my good son.

"Ugh, I'm starving! Hurry up and make me dinner. I was planning to eat Xiao Hao's cooking here, but I didn't eat much when I came at noon. Now I'm starving. Kami, could you make me another serving of that fried rice Xiao Hao made before? I really want to eat it."

After complaining, Daisy couldn't help but turn her gaze to Kami. Thinking of the fried rice Xiao Hao made for her at Rometheus's place, Daisy's stomach started to rumble.

"Okay, Aunt Daisy, you and Mom wait here. I'll go make it for you now. We'll have fried rice for dinner. Xiao Hao taught me how to make it before."

Upon hearing Daisy's words, Camille, who was reading a book nearby, put down her book, stood up, and headed straight for the kitchen. She wanted to show off her skills to her mother and Aunt Daisy.

"Oh dear, Kami is so capable. Unlike someone else, who doesn't even bother to act anymore. She said she would cook for me every day after I came to this space base, but... sigh, never mind."

Demulan completely ignored Daisy's nagging. Wasn't all her hard work just to plan a good future for her Cammy? Now that Cammy was here, Daisy, her big backer, had also arrived.

Demulan said he was losing his motivation and realized that he probably wouldn't last long in this position. Unlike wealthy people like Robert, he couldn't directly become a high-ranking executive in the Hafk Group. He felt that being the safety director of the space base was the best arrangement God could make for him.

"Ring ring!"

Daisy noticed Robert's name flashing on Desmulan's phone and couldn't help but signal Desmulan to answer the phone quickly, as she wanted to hear if there was any juicy gossip involved.

Demulan rolled her eyes at Daisy before answering the phone with a hint of confusion. She was also a little puzzled as to what Robert wanted to talk to her about this time.

"Hey, this is Desmuth, Robert. What do you need me for?"

After Robert got through on the phone, he thought for a few seconds and decided to tell Demulan about his first encounter with Hudson.

"What?! You mean you just yelled at Hudson, provoked him, and then hung up the phone without giving him a chance to retaliate?"

Desmulan and Daisy, who were watching the drama unfold, exchanged a glance after hearing Robert's explosive revelation, both of them showing surprise in their eyes.

Good heavens, this thing is really made of steel! Doesn't it understand the meaning of short-term patience?

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll have someone send Hudson's personal information to you tomorrow. After you've read it, he'll destroy it. You know, Hudson is always vengeful, Robert. Now you have no choice but to confront him."

Demulan could barely contain his smile as he spoke. Now, he didn't need to be the one to lead the way anymore; Robert had unwittingly done him such a great favor.

Demulan: What a good man! This Robert is really a good man. I misjudged him before, actually classifying him with that bastard Rometheus. Now that I think about it, he's actually a little more pleasing to the eye than Rometheus.

"Hmph, Demulan, you have no idea what tone he was using back then. I really don't understand how you let him take advantage of you. So what if we've crossed paths? I, Robert, have been in Asara longer than him and have contributed more to the Hafk Group. What kind of person is he that he wants to take everything I've done as soon as he arrives?"

Daisy, hearing how this silly boy was completely fooled by Demulan, quietly slipped to the side and started shrugging her shoulders. This Robert was really too funny, and even easier to fool than that Rometheus.

Daisy: Tsk tsk tsk, if you ask me, Asara is really doomed. There's no one here capable of taking on the responsibility. Demulan is a complete idiot, Robert is a moron, and Rometheus only cares about his Relink brain-computer interface. Hehehe, Hudson would never have imagined that he originally wanted to take direct control of Asara, which was about to be reclaimed, but now, hehehe.

After calming Robert down, Desmulan hung up the phone. Looking at Daisy, who was convulsing wildly, Desmulan said:

"Stop laughing. I haven't even told Robert about your existence yet. I'm thinking of making him direct all his dissatisfaction at Hudson. If that idiot knew that the agricultural research lab he painstakingly built belonged to you, he'd probably team up with Hudson to take us down immediately."

"Hmph, let him come, I'm not afraid of that little chick. His brain is like it hasn't fully developed yet. I can make him run around in circles with just my little finger."

Seeing Daisy's confidence, Demulan didn't say anything more. Indeed, Robert had already broken ties with Hudson, and now it was time to see what Robert was really capable of.

"Mom, Aunt Daisy, this fried rice is ready to eat. You should all try some."

Just then, Cammy's voice came from the kitchen. Daisy and Demulan got up and walked towards the dining table. When they saw the fried rice that looked somewhat similar to Zhang Hao's, Daisy couldn't help but praise it. Then the three of them began to enjoy the meal.

Chapter 641 Hudson's Arrival (1)

Time flies, and this day was the day Hudson was about to head to the space station.

Good morning, Mr. Jacob.

Early in the morning, Hudson knocked on Jacob's office door.

"Come in, Hudson. Shouldn't you have already embarked on your journey to the space station today?"

Jacob was also surprised that Hudson would find him on the day he was about to leave, and asked with some doubt.

Seeing this, Hudson pushed open the door and came in, then sat down in the chair opposite Jacob.

"Yes, that is indeed my itinerary for today. However, I came here today to let you know in advance."

As Hudson finished speaking, he took a voice recorder out of his pocket, and after pressing the switch, the recording of his previous call with Robert was played.

“Mr. Jacob, you heard it all. My temper... isn’t exactly good, but I’ve said what needed to be said properly.”

“Robert? In my eyes, the family he’s so proud of is nothing more than a large gang that makes a quick buck off arms. I hope that when I’m dealing with this rude man, Mr. Jacob, you won’t interfere.”

Jacob quietly observed Hudson, who exuded confidence and seemed to have everything under control. A faint smile appeared on Jacob's lips, and he spoke:

"Sure, but I need to make this clear in advance: Robert may have a fiery temper, but he and his family have indeed made significant contributions to our Hafk Group."

"You only need to give them a warning this time. If you go too far..."

Jacob didn't continue speaking, but simply glanced at Hudson with his slightly cold eyes.

“I see. Mr. Jacob, you can rest assured that once I arrive in Asara and take over the space city, I can guarantee that the efficiency of the Hafk Group there will double.”

After Hudson finished speaking, he stood up, gave Jacob a graceful farewell, and then turned and left the office.

"Reform...efficiency, Hudson, perhaps your ideas and ambitions are indeed very suitable for our Hafk Group, but your target this time is Asara. I'm also very curious whether you'll still be as confident as you are now once you get there..."

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

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

Space base.

"Long time no see, Robert. You look like you haven't been sleeping well lately."

Demulan glanced at Robert, who had arrived for the high-level meeting with dark circles under his eyes, and nodded to him. Robert, seeing this, didn't say anything, but simply nodded back to Demulan and went inside.

Upon entering the conference room, Robert saw Daisy sitting in the middle, playing on her phone. Robert was slightly shocked by the woman in front of him. Anyone who had been with the Hafk Group for a while knew Daisy.

"You... how did you end up here?"

Even the troublemaker Robert, upon seeing Daisy, obediently stepped aside and then quietly inquired:

"Oh, you troublemaker are actually being so honest? Let me tell you, I was originally going to go to Eastern Europe to take a board position. If it weren't for helping you guys deal with that Hudson, you should be grateful, you good-for-nothing. You should know that you wouldn't normally have the right to sit in the same conference room as me."

Robert nodded repeatedly when he heard Daisy's words, mainly because what Daisy said was indeed the truth. According to their ranks, he didn't seem to be on the same level as her.

"Is that Desmulan? Her connections are so powerful! She even managed to bring in Daisy's company's most powerful weapon?"

Robert thought to himself, glancing at Desmulan who was standing at the door waiting for the others. Of course, if he knew that Desmulan and Daisy were best friends, his eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.

As for Daisy's words just now, it's all thanks to our "super brain" Rometheus. A few days ago, Daisy couldn't resist and called Rometheus, asking him to lure Xiao Hao to the Tower of Babel so she could have a few drinks with him.

However, after experiencing so much, Rometheus naturally refused outright. He immediately guessed that Daisy had only come to him after she had tried and found that Xiao Hao couldn't fool her.

After their argument, Daisy told Rometheus about Robert and Hudson's situation. Upon hearing this, Rometheus's eyes lit up and he immediately came up with a reason for Daisy: that she had actually been sent to help them and that she should pretend to have no interest in Asara.

In this way, Robert, that idiot, will definitely mistake Daisy for Asara's leader, and they will directly obtain a good knife.

Of course, this was because everyone thought Robert was slow-witted. If they thought about it carefully, they would find the loopholes in Daisy's words. After all, the board members in Europe had already been decided, and their influence was comparable to that of Hudson.

Daisy, your abilities may be among the best in the Hafk Group, but if they wanted you to be on the board, they wouldn't have let you wait until this age; those who should have been promoted would have been promoted long ago.

But this simple question might actually be a real problem for Robert. After all, how can you expect a paramecium to think of this?

"Hey! Demulan, you've become the hostess now. Go, go, get me a cup of coffee. I'm exhausted from the journey. I really don't understand why you guys like to hold meetings so much. You won't even let me use a 3D projector for the meeting."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just a few minutes later, Rometheus's smug voice came from outside the door. As the door opened, Rometheus was kicked in by Demulan.

Chapter 642 Hudson's Arrival (2)

"Holy crap, you... Hey, Robert, you're still alive?"

Rometheus, who had been kicked in by Demulan, rubbed his backside and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Robert sitting obediently next to Daisy out of the corner of his eye.

"You...you just wait, I don't want to talk to you right now, you bastard."

Just as Robert was about to make a decision, he immediately thought of Daisy, who was sitting not far from him, and could only glare fiercely at Rometheus.

Robert: Damn it, that bastard is still so annoying, I can't stand it anymore. Why did Hudson steal my seat on the board this time? Otherwise... otherwise I could have that Rometheus kneeling in front of me and singing "Conquer" for me right now.

Seeing that Robert was being unusually well-behaved today, Rometheus thought to himself that it was boring and then walked over to the last row on the other side and sat down.

Rometheus: Sigh, I guess I'll be watching those gunpowder clashing that could spill over onto me again. Sigh, really, what's the point of calling me to this meeting? It's completely pointless.

Seeing that Hudson hadn't arrived yet, Daisy frowned and looked at Desmulan:

"It's been so long, when exactly is that Hudson guy planning to come? Demulan, hasn't he even told you yet?"

Desmulan looked at Daisy, but remembering that they still had to put on an act in front of Robert, he forced a smile and said to Daisy:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Daisy, but I really don't know when Hudson will arrive at our space base. If you're getting impatient, how about I have someone prepare a lounge for you to rest in?"

Seeing Demulan's expression, Daisy and Rometheus were secretly delighted. Watching Demulan pretend to smile despite his unwillingness, they were thoroughly pleased.

"Hmph, no need, but I will still report his lateness to Jacob truthfully later."

Unlike the three who knew the inside story, Robert broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that Demulan had gone to great lengths to invite this Ms. Daisy over, and she was so humble.

Furthermore, upon hearing that Daisy was able to speak directly with Mr. Jacob, Robert couldn't help but show a hint of longing. It's well known that for their senior management, contacting Mr. Jacob was an extremely complicated process.

Those who possessed Jacob's phone were all powerful figures who controlled a region.

Daisy: Hey, I'm different from them. I have that bastard Jacob's private phone number. So, I must be a boss, no matter what.

Just then, Rometheus suddenly said:

"We're here. Look outside."

After hearing Rometheus's words, the group craned their necks out and saw several yachts speeding toward their location from the beach.

At the same time, the loudspeakers installed in the conference room where the group was located also started to blare:

“I am Hudson, the head of the efficiency department of the Hafk Group. From now on, I will be in full charge of the space base. Demulan, if you have any objections, please wait until I go up there.”

Demulan frowned upon hearing Hudson's provocation, while Robert glared hatefully outside, wanting to see what this guy who wanted him gone really was capable of.

A short while later, Hudson made a dazzling appearance in front of the group. He was wearing a green suit, and after elegantly taking a breath of his asthma medication, he strolled leisurely to the podium in the conference room.

Robert: Tch, so he's just a cargo driver. I thought he was some big shot. And the thing he's inhaling looks like asthma medication. Humph, a sickly guy like him dares to come all the way to Asara. He's really asking for trouble.

"As for self-introduction, I think everyone here is already very familiar with me. Demoulins, I think you don't need to stand here anymore. You can choose a seat in front of you and sit down, because I will be the one to host today's speech."

Hudson looked at Desmulan, who was standing to the side, and gestured for her to sit down. After taking a deep breath, Desmulan sat down next to Daisy, her gaze coldly fixed on Hudson.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's begin this meeting."

Hudson smiled, then fixed his gaze directly on Robert, who had been staring at him.

"Robert, this seems to be the first time we've met. Please give my regards to your father."
