Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

But looking at it now... Red Wolf and Roy on the side just said, "Kid, you still need to train. Your strength is still not quite there yet."

Meanwhile, Xiao Hao was being interrogated by the three women. After thinking it over, Zhang Hao decided to let Uncle Rometheus take the blame for him.

Zhang Hao: Hehehe, anyway, Uncle Rometheus, you've already taken enough blame, so one or two more won't make a difference. Besides, wasn't it Uncle Rometheus who directly fed [Zero] before? Just consider me as someone who was fed into that role as well.

"What?! You mean that Rometheus drugged you? Damn it, that Rometheus is really going to die! Xiao Hao, is there anything wrong with your body right now?"

Zoya was instantly enraged upon hearing this. How dare that damned Rometheus treat her Xiao Hao like this! Zhang Hao, seeing this, repeatedly assured her that he was fine and in very good condition.

"Oh, don't be so angry, Sister Zoya. Uncle Rometheus has done his research. You gave me a full physical examination before, and I'm perfectly healthy. So don't worry."

"That's true, but I still feel like something's not right. Is there really such an amazing thing in the world? Even if there is, I feel that if Rometheus, with his half-baked skills, created it, the side effects would be enormous."

【Zero】: That's right, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what you said. It hurt so much that I ran away. That thing is unbearable for a human. It's like being enlightened by an artificial intelligence. Isn't that amazing?

However, after Zhang Hao's persuasive explanation of the "charm of language," everyone accepted this fact.

Chapter 656: Attacking My People?

"What? What right do you have to fire me? My leg is broken? No, I was perfectly fine before. I lost this leg in the war with Asara because it was blown off by a shell. And now you're using that to fire me?!"

"What do you mean I was charged so many HAF coins just because I glanced at my phone a few times at work? New rules? When were these new rules issued, and why didn't I receive any notification about them?"

Such incidents have been occurring frequently at the spaceport since Hudson successfully took office as the head of the efficiency department of the Hafk Group in the Assara region.

Most of the Hafk employees who had been working under Demulan received interview invitations from the Efficiency Department. Many of them thought that the new leader was coming to promote and raise the salaries of those who had made significant contributions to Hafk.

However, to their surprise, instead of a promotion or raise, they received a cold dismissal notice.

In an instant, the once peaceful space base was plunged into chaos. No one knew if they would be the next one called over and told that they were the one to be "optimized."

"To hell with the Efficiency Department! I've contributed so much to the Hafk Group, why should I leave? You're offering me so little money to let me go? You're humiliating me!"

Watching one former space station soldier after another emerge from the efficiency department office at the dock, cursing and swearing, Kami, who was standing on the windowsill observing all this, turned to Demulan with concern and said:

"Mom, is it really okay if things continue like this? If we let Hudson continue like this, all the prestige you've built up here..."

Demulan frowned as well. In recent days, quite a few employees had come to him about this matter. Hudson and his subordinates had been constantly suppressing the indigenous people.

Daisy, what do you think?

Daisy, who was sitting to the side and was called over, couldn't help but roll her eyes. Now Demulan was really completely free. He could leave things to Mary, the nuclear-powered donkey, and if there were things he couldn't handle, he could just turn to her.

"How do I see it? I'll look at myself with my own eyes. Do you expect me to go up to Hudson and yell at him? That would be beneath me. If you really can't stand it, you can go and have a proper talk with Hudson about this."

After hearing Daisy's words, Desmulan fell silent, seemingly pondering how to tell Hudson about it.

“Mary!”

After summoning Mary, Desmulan gave the following instructions:

“Mary, compile a list of all the people Hudson has pulled aside for talks recently, and give it to me once you have a complete list.”

Mary readily agreed and then got up to begin collecting detailed information about those people.

"Hey, Demulan, I'm really optimistic about you now. If you can't handle it, I can help you write the article or something. Then you can just give that Hudson a good scolding and that'll be the end of it."

Daisy couldn't help but applaud Demulan's actions, knowing that in her view, this was just a small appetizer from Hudson to Demulan, and it wasn't time for her to make her appearance yet.

"Sigh, I don't know if it will work, but now that Hudson dares to bully my people like this, I can't just stand here and watch."

“That’s right! This is our space base’s safety director. Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of the outcome for you going to see that guy Hudson. If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll still be doing some superficial work with you.”

Daisy also changed from a lying position to a sitting position, tilted her head back and turned around a few times before starting to analyze for Desmulan:

"At that time, Hudson will probably find another way to bully your subordinates. When that happens, it will be time for you to completely break ties with him."

Meanwhile, Hudson was standing comfortably in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking through the glass at Nadmouran's office not far away.

"Haven't she come to see me yet? It seems that this Demulan is quite different from the information I had. I thought she would finally come to see me on the third day. Or is it because of Daisy?"

"Lord Hudson, our people have spotted Mary, Demulan's personal secretary, starting to compile a list of those we've brought in for talks. Could it be that Demulan is planning to...?"

At this moment, a member of Hudson's personal guard knocked on the door and entered, kneeling on one knee to report to Hudson. Upon hearing this, Hudson smiled slightly:

"Oh? So you finally couldn't hold it in any longer? You can leave now, I know about this."

After the guard left the office, Hudson sat back down in his seat, staring at the Dark Star Fuel on his computer screen, and murmured to himself:

“Demulan, since you want to protect your men, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to exchange some things with them. After all, in this world, the principle of equal exchange is the most stable.”

In Desmoulins' office, after hearing Daisy's reasoning, Desmoulins asked curiously:

"Another method? What else can he do? Besides, even after I've already contacted him, he's still targeting my people like this. Doesn't that mean he wants to break ties with me? Doesn't this give me a perfect excuse to deal with him?"

Seeing that Desmoulins was now so quick to suggest this, Daisy looked speechlessly at Camille sitting to the side.

"See, Kami? This is a classic case of not using your brain and only thinking about using your fists. Let's not even talk about whether your tank and soldiers can defeat Hudson. The problem is that whoever strikes first is in the wrong. Of course, unless you can get someone from another faction to kill Hudson directly, then disregard what I said."

"It's as easy for them to mess with you as drinking water. They just need to change their methods, like strictly enforcing attendance or using promotions as bait to increase the exploitation of your subordinates. Your soldiers won't even know how they died."

Chapter 657 I don't care, I want to sleep.

After listening to Daisy's explanation, Demulan couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the legendary capitalist?" After listening for a while, Demulan said that he only understood that Hudson's series of operations were all for the purpose of better exploiting the Hafk soldiers who no longer had much value.

This was exactly what Demulan had been doing, as he saw these Hafk soldiers as his comrades who had followed him into battle.

"Actually... Demulan, you should know that if it were me in the past, not to mention our personal relationship, I would simply choose to spend more money to send those who can no longer go to the battlefield and can only be responsible for logistics home."

Daisy, seeing Desmoulin still enraged, couldn't help but speak up:

“We all know in our hearts that paying a buyout severance package would be the best outcome, but Hudson’s main goal this time is to deal with you.”

"And if you really want me to say it, you should also organize the removal of those Hafk soldiers who are too badly wounded to go to the battlefield from Asara."

“It’s not that we Hafk can’t afford it… Of course, I admit that as a capitalist, I’m actually unwilling to pay their retirement benefits. But for you, leaving these old, weak, sick, and disabled people here means that if Asara’s people attack this place one day, these people will just have to sit here and wait to die.”

Kami sensed the atmosphere around him gradually hardening, and involuntarily shut his mouth and shrank back.

Reason told her that Aunt Daisy was absolutely right; continuing to support these Hafk soldiers was a losing proposition.

However, his own emotions began to sympathize with his mother. Putting himself in her shoes, he realized that these Hafk soldiers had always followed behind his mother, working diligently for the Hafk Group.

However, after sacrificing his health for it, all he received was some compensation and a dismissal notice.

"I...I understand."

After a long silence, Demoulins closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, as if he had finally figured something out.

"Alright, alright, stop sighing here. I told you you'd changed, but you're still so soft-hearted."

Daisy walked over and patted Desmulan on the shoulder, but now that she was here, there was no need for Desmulan to continue playing the good cop.

"After you finish talking with Hudson, leave the rest to me."

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

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

Tidal Prison.

Looking at the Tide Prison, which had finally gotten back on track, and at the rules and regulations he had painstakingly perfected, Gherros sighed and wearily returned to his room to get some rest.

During this period, we were repairing the tidal prison, retraining the new staff, and working on improving the prison's systems at night.

We strive to be more humane and international, but just as Geheros took off his equipment and clothes and was about to go to bed for a good rest, Hudson called him directly at that moment.

Gherros: This guy had better have something important to say to me right now, or I'm really going to get angry. (╬▔皿▔)╯

"Hello, this is Hudson, Geheros. Long time no see."

"Say what it is quickly. I'll give you five minutes to give a brief explanation. We can discuss the details later. I have something to do now, something very important."

At this moment, Gherros felt like he could fall asleep at any moment, especially now that he was lying in bed. The fatigue that had been suppressed for several days was surging up like a tide. Seeing this, Gherros told Hudson to keep the conversation short, because it wouldn't be good if he fell asleep during the conversation.

Hearing that the usually composed Geheros was in such a hurry to finish speaking, Hudson on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel curious. What was wrong with these people, like Rometheus and this Geheros?

Why do they all seem different from the person I remember? Could it be that this Asara has some unknown secret that can completely change a person's personality?

"It's like this, I saw that Demulan visited your Tidal Prison not long ago, and I hope that when he comes..."

After listening to Hudson's few words, Geheros immediately understood what was going on in this guy's head, and speechlessly closed his eyes, saying:

"Alright, Hudson, you don't need to say anything more. I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I don't want anything from you, and I won't get involved. I'm only responsible for the security of this Tide Prison. You and Demulan can handle your own business."

"I'm very busy. You should know that those people recently blew up this Tidal Prison. I won't take sides in this matter. Of course, as long as you don't harm the interests of our Tidal Prison, that's fine. Okay, that's all. Goodbye."

After finishing his sentence, Geheros immediately hung up the phone, then turned it off and put it aside. He put on an eye mask and rested. This Hudson is really something. Doesn't he know that he came to Hafk precisely because he hated the infighting among the GTI executives?

Demulan knew all this, so every time he came to him, it was about the Tide Prison and the current conflict between Hudson and Demulan.

Geheros was aware of this, but he wouldn't be so idle as to get involved in the matter; he was just a minor warden.

Standing on the dock, Hudson frowned as he looked at the phone that had been hung up. He had originally thought that after arriving in Asara, he would be able to use supplies or something else to get Rometheus and Geheros, who had always been neutral, to stand by his side.

But what he didn't expect was that one of these two guys was afraid of Daisy, and the other wouldn't participate in this matter. This feeling of being out of his control began to make Hudson feel a strange sense of panic.

Chapter 658 The Landlord's Foolish Son (1)

"What exactly happened? Especially that Rometheus. As far as I know, his relationship with Demulan has never been good. I even saw in Dad's old file that he was one of the people who participated in adding the brain-computer interface to Demulan back then."

"According to this logic, Rometheus should support me. What Demulan can't give, I can. Aren't those 'crippled' people just ready-made materials? Why? Just because of Daisy?"

Hudson couldn't understand it. He had a very pleasant conversation with Rometheus before coming to Asara, and in his opinion, it was a sure thing that Rometheus would cooperate with him.

It's important to know that Rometheus's undead army had generated a very strong reaction among the upper echelons of the Hafk Group. Many Hafk executives had privately contacted Rometheus, hoping that he could create such an army for them.

But at that time, Rometheus only said one light, casual remark:

"This Black Hawk team is the final act. Don't even think about it anymore. I've already explained the pros and cons to Mr. Jacob very clearly. This technology will be sealed away by me."

Rometheus: Damn it, I would never dare to do that again. Last time I did that, I almost got sanctioned by the International Court of Justice. Luckily, Jacob managed to save me. Those people actually want this kind of technology. Dream on!

Especially after seeing Zoya, who was even more violent than before, Rometheus was certain that he absolutely could not make another mistake. If this tiger girl caught him doing something wrong, even if he had Xiao Hao and his eldest son standing in front of him, it probably wouldn't be of any use.

Seeing that his two attempts to recruit people had failed to bring anyone under his command, Hudson couldn't help but direct his resentment at that unlucky Robert.

It must be him. That idiot is the one who brings me bad luck. You know, it was after seeing that idiot that I started having all these unlucky things happen.

Filled with resentment, Hudson silently took out his asthma medication, inhaled a few puffs, then picked up his phone and dialed a number...

Meanwhile, Robert, completely unaware of all this, was still at his private estate plotting how to deal with Hudson. From the information Demulan had given him, Robert also learned that Hudson had brought something called Dark Star Fuel with him when he came to Asara.
