Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"What?! Wait, wait, old man... Deep Blue, are you kidding me? When did we become so casual about the GTI?"

Zoya, who was following behind, immediately pulled Shenlan aside and looked at Shenlan with a shocked expression. She said that Xiaohao's casual entry was because he hadn't even registered in the GTI system.

Of course, Xiao Hao's existence could not be kept secret from the higher-ups at GTI. However, before those higher-ups came down to cause trouble, Shenlan had already flexed his muscles by taking his old comrades to those higher-ups.

Shenlan then added that Xiaohao must have everything that the full-time employees have, otherwise he would just go and have tea and chat with them whenever he had free time.

To convince the public, Deep Blue found an excuse, saying that Zhang Hao was doing this for Asara's liberation, and that Xiao Hao had indeed done a lot for him. The higher-ups agreed quickly, saying it was just an extra person's worth of supplies.

GTI executive: Deep Blue, I don't think your requests are unreasonable at all. Really, we wouldn't object to hiring a few more people. Um... let's just say, could you please take your punches back for now?

"Let me check the time. I received a message from higher-ups when you... finished dealing with these Asara soldiers. He told me that a person named Lina van der Meier had applied to join our GTI, belonging to the European branch."

Zoya then turned to ask Lina about her, but when she turned around, she found that Lina was gone. After searching around for a while, she found that the woman had come to Xiaohao's side.

"Hi Xiao Hao, we're going to be teammates from now on. I hope you can help me integrate into your group."

After Lina sat down next to Zhang Hao, she smelled the very pleasant scent emanating from him, and her previously tired mind became a little clearer.

Meanwhile, Luna couldn't help but whisper to Claire:

"See? I called you over a long time ago. You said you wanted to wait until you finished repaying your debt to Hafk before coming. Now you've been cut in line again. Speaking of which, Lina has really broken our GTI record for the fastest onboarding."

Mai Xiaowen: Impossible, Luna, do you completely disregard me? Even if Lina is fast, she still needs to communicate with the people at GTI first. Look at me, only I can be considered to have joined GTI in an instant. After all, try to find someone who can hack into the GTI database.

"Hello, Sister Lina, my name is Zhang Hao, I'm 17 years old, you can just call me Xiao Hao!"

Zhang Hao was also a bit confused by the speed at which Lina joined the group. Could Lina be someone with an extremely powerful background?

When Lina met Zhang Hao's somewhat questioning gaze, she smiled a little embarrassedly. Had her speed in joining GTI scared Xiao Hao? Well... she really had a bad experience.

"Xiao Hao, are you curious about why I was able to join GTI so quickly, even with just one phone call? Hehe, actually I had already been invited to join GTI many times, but at that time I was busy treating injured people at this hospital, so I never had time to reply to them."

"So why did you suddenly decide to join? I thought you were going to say something about protecting the people here forever."

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen, who was listening to what Lina said, asked curiously, "Doesn't what Lina said further prove that she came for her own Xiaohao?"

Mai Xiaowen: We can't stop them, we can't stop them at all! Who the hell told me that as long as we have more people watching over our cabbages, they won't be stolen? Now look what's happened! Not only have we failed to stop these people who want to steal our vegetables, but now our vegetables are being eaten by others! Is there no justice in this world?!

"That's because of this experience. I realized that if I keep staying here and avoiding the problem, instead of thinking about solving the source of all the problems, then more and more wounded people will keep coming here. Only by completely solving the root of the problem can we truly solve the problem."

Seeing Lina say this, even Zoya, who had come over with Deep Blue wanting to say something, shut her mouth. There was nothing she could do; what could she say after Lina had already said it? Besides, Lina's level of understanding was so high, what else was there to say?

When Mai Xiaowen and the others heard Lina say this, they all fell silent. They had nothing to say but to remain silent. Zhang Hao, however, had a sudden inspiration. This Sister Lina... he had to get her to help him liberate Asara!

Zhang Hao, somewhat excited, grabbed Lina's hand and said earnestly:

"Welcome to join us, Lina. We have been working hard to protect and liberate Asara. I believe that with your help, our chances of success will definitely increase."

The moment Lina's hands were grabbed by Zhang Hao, her previously clear mind instantly became muddled. "Xiao Hao... he's so enthusiastic! How many kids should we have with him in the future?"

Lina: Luckily, I didn't say that my real purpose this time was to get closer to Xiao Hao, otherwise, judging from the expressions of those women before, I guess mine would have been returned on the spot.

“Miss Lina, GTI also sent me a report about your health… Let’s talk about this when we get back to the Special Operations Unit. But don’t worry, Roy and Zoya, the two who were in the operating room with you, are both top geniuses in emergency care and mental health. There might be a chance for your condition to improve with their help.”

Deep Blue: Besides, there are just too many people here. Otherwise, we could just have Xiao Hao make you a "Golden Dawn" drink, and that would solve the problem.

Upon hearing Shen Lan's words, the light that had been shining in Lina's eyes dimmed slightly. Yes, her own body...

Chapter 707 Reis: I'm impressed.

Unlike the United Nations hospital, which had already settled down, in Longbow Valley, in Reis's office...

After failing to contact the Asara soldiers he had sent, Reiss began to panic. This shouldn't be happening. He couldn't possibly go there himself to see what was going on, could he?

Reese: Didn't I just send these little brats there to kill someone, film a video, and provoke De Moulin? How come I can't even contact these bastards now?

"Damn it, it's impossible that I ran into Demulan or GTI's guys today. My luck can't be that bad, right? No, no, I have to talk to those guys in the US. If they don't help, I'm basically doomed."

The thought of the consequences if this matter were reported internationally sent a shiver down Reis's spine, even for someone as lawless as him. Damn it, if this really resulted in international sanctions, not to mention whether he could legitimately become the new king of Asara, his very survival would be a major question.

"Hey, Reis, you realize something's happened? We told you a long time ago not to mess with that UN hospital, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened. All your good men have been arrested by GTI, and the UN is preparing to send people to take them back for interrogation. What do you say we do now?"

As soon as the call connected, before Reese could even speak, the person on the other end explained the current situation.

When Reese heard that his men were now under control, he stood there dumbfounded. How could things have turned out this way, the last thing he wanted to see?

Reese: This mission failed, and we were even taken over by those GTI guys. Damn it, why is it always those damn GTIs? Don't they have anything to do? How come they always manage to ruin my plans?

This UN-established hospital is located in some remote corner of Assara. Do these GTI people have to patrol that place all the time? If they're so free, they might as well go and cause more trouble for that bastard Demulan.

But what was happening before him also frightened Reese. He abandoned his usual arrogance and cautiously asked the person on the other end of the phone:

"Yes, yes, you're right, you're absolutely right. I, Lao Lei, was definitely wrong this time. I will never do such a stupid thing again. Hey boss, do you have any ways to fix this? I... I never expected to run into those people from GTI by chance this time!"

The person on the other end of the phone snorted coldly upon hearing Reese's obedient demeanor.

"Hmph, don't you know, didn't we rehearse this possibility back then? And you, the boss, just sat in your own lair and sent your bunch of lousy fish to cause trouble. Don't you know that once this gets reported, you can forget about unifying Asara. Your territory will be wiped out by missiles in no time."

Upon hearing these words, Reis felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Every word spoken by this high-ranking American official was true. If his actions were discovered, he would face only endless pursuit and death.

After all, no individual or organization in the world dares to challenge the authority of the United Nations. Once his reckless behavior is discovered, all he can expect is judgment from the United Nations.

"Big boss, I know I was wrong, Lao Lei. You have to find a way to save me. Look, we've finally gotten back on track. Once I become the leader of Asara, all of Asara's rare earth mines and other resources here will be yours, okay?"

Reiss grew increasingly frightened. While his actions were reckless, he was far from reckless enough to challenge the United Nations. After all, Demulan had been tried by the UN after firing a guided missile at his Longbow Valley.

If the United Nations were to take action themselves, he would really be doomed. So Reis didn't care about anything else now and brought out everything he could bring to the negotiating table.

As long as the United States, our big brother, can protect us, we can deal with the rest later.

Reis is now filled with regret. What was he thinking back then? Why did he have to kill all the Hafk soldiers at the UN hospital to provoke Demulan? If he wanted to, there were many other ways to provoke Demulan!

Reese: Damn it, I really want to punch myself now. Damn it, now that Barton isn't around, none of my men dare to stop me. Otherwise, how could I have made such an absurd decision?

When the person on the other end of the phone heard that Reis had brought out some of the chips they wanted, they snorted coldly, and then spoke as if judging Reis:

"Don't be so hasty, Reis. Use your rusty brain for a moment and think about why I know about the UN hospital before you do."

Ries, who was initially in a panic, had a glint of excitement in his eyes upon hearing this. Could it be?!

"But...we are very dissatisfied with the offer you made."

Unfortunately, the person on the other end of the phone changed their tone immediately, speaking in a cold voice. Upon hearing this, Reese's heart, which had been somewhat calm, began to pound wildly again.

At this moment, Reese felt like a fish on a chopping board, waiting for the American chef to decide his future—whether he would live or die...

"I... Boss, what else do you want? I... these are the only valuable things we Asara have, right?"

When Reis thought about how all those things were originally his property after he ascended the throne, his heart began to bleed, and doubts began to creep into his mind.

Did the US secretly leak this information, which is why GTI and the others happened to be there by chance?

Chapter 708 The Escort Team Arrives

Reese: Damn, it actually seems quite possible, and now that I think about it carefully, the chances of it happening are pretty high.

After all, it was already an open secret that the US coveted Asara, which explained why his "flawless" plan was caught by those bastards from GTI.

United States: You... flawless? My God, who gave you this confidence? Your plan is no different from that of an idiot. Even my little kid who just came out of kindergarten would laugh out loud if he heard your idea.

"As for the conditions, Reis, you no longer have the autonomy. Now you just need to answer me whether you are willing to accept our help. As for the price... we can talk about it slowly over time."

Although there were suspicions that the two of them were collaborating, Reis couldn't care less at this point and quickly agreed:

"Sure, no problem. What are your plans?"

After hearing Reiss's answer, which was tantamount to a compromise, the person on the other end of the phone smiled calmly, as if he had expected it:

"Hehehe, congratulations, Ries. You've made the best choice so far. I hope you can listen to our advice next time to prevent this from happening again."

After he finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone added:

"As for how we'll handle this, that's not your concern. You just need to stay in your Longbow Valley. Oh, and by the way, our advice to you this time is that you'd better not have any other business dealings with that Hudson, understand?"

Before Reese could speak, the person on the other end of the phone hung up, leaving a dazed Reese sitting in his leather executive chair.

"Damn it, this is really bizarre. How did these bastards find out that I was working with this Hudson? Could there really be a mole among us?"

At this moment, Reese missed Barton to the extreme. You see, Barton had helped him deal with all the big and small things in Longbow Valley before, and he had never made him worry.

"How about... I take another team of men to that Tide Prison and rescue that damn Barton?"

Unfortunately, after briefly considering the idea, Reis immediately dismissed it. He thought, "Forget it. In this situation, if I were to do something so risky, I'd really be a fool."

Reese: My lifelong reputation absolutely cannot be ruined. My reputation can be damn bad, but it absolutely cannot be damn stupid. Oh well, Patton will still take pity on you. I wonder if you're still alive in Tide Prison.

A short while later, a convoy of large vehicles bearing the logo of the United Nations rumbled in, and then, under the watchful eyes of Shen Lan and the others, several armed soldiers got out of the vehicles.

Then, led by a black man, the soldiers followed in neat rows behind him and arrived in front of Shen Lan.

"Hello, Instructor Deep Blue. I'm Jack, the leader of this liquidation team. We've received a mission to escort a group of terrorists back to the United Nations for interrogation."

After listening to the introduction, Shenlan didn't waste any more words and directly extended his hand, saying:

"The escort documents, the personnel list, and the stamped documents—if any one of these is missing, you can't take these people with you."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he stared intently at the black man opposite him, trying to find some clues in his face and eyes.

However, the black guy opposite him just calmly smiled after hearing what documents Shen Lan was going to produce:

“Captain Deep Blue, there’s no need to test us anymore. We only received the notification halfway through the journey. If we can actually produce what you want now, it will probably be the next day.”

Shen Lan stared at the people opposite for a while before waving his hand to signal that they could go in and carry those people out. The black captain didn't say anything more and turned around to order the soldiers behind him to go in and carry out the escort work.

"How many of you here are from the United States?"

Just as the black man nodded to Shen Lan, preparing to go inside to escort the prisoners, Shen Lan quietly pulled him aside and whispered:

"Hmm? There are... about four of them selected from the US. Look, these two in front and the two who just passed by. These guys are much more obedient than our old black guys."

After hearing the black captain point to four of them, Deep Blue whispered a reminder again:

"Here's a piece of advice for you, Captain: when you're escorting them, you'd better keep a close eye on these four people. If you find out later that they're not a problem, then you need to start being careful about your surroundings. Although I can't explain the reasons to you right now, just remember what I'm saying."

After saying these words, Shen Lan patted the captain on the shoulder and then fell silent. The black man, after hearing Shen Lan's somewhat incomprehensible words, could only nod at Shen Lan with bewildered eyes before going inside to escort the Asara soldiers.

A short while later, the Asara soldiers who had come here and survived were also packed into boxes and put on the truck. After shaking hands, the two captains turned around and prepared to leave.

"Remember what I said, Captain."

After giving the black guy a final word of advice, Deep Blue turned around and led the GTI team back to the Special Operations Department. Speaking of which, Uluru, who was guarding the house, was probably so scared that he would ask Xiao Hao to make him a bucket of beer to calm his nerves when he saw that they had brought a new member back this time.

The black guy got into the car, completely bewildered. America? Could there be something wrong with these American soldiers? But these guys have been with him from the beginning! And he was told that if these soldiers were alright, he should be careful of his surroundings.
