Meanwhile, in Lina's room, Lina, lying on the bed, felt like she was about to collapse. As soon as she lay down, her eyelids seemed to be magnetized. She desperately wanted to open her eyes and wait for Xiao Hao, who was still drying his hair in the bathroom, to come out.

Lina: No, Lina, you can't go to sleep yet. Wait a little longer, Xiao Hao will be out soon. Haven't you always wanted to hold Xiao Hao and sleep with that comforting scent he gives off?

Despite Lina's strong restraint, Zhang Hao, whom she had been longing for, came out of the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and went to Lina's side. Under her longing gaze, Zhang Hao lay down on her bed.

Lina didn't hold back any longer and hugged Zhang Hao tightly, happily nuzzling her head against his. She silently muttered to herself about Zhang Hao's small, soft body, and then lost consciousness the next second.

Zhang Hao, who was being held in Lina's arms, looked up and was surprised to find that Lina had fallen into a deep sleep. But then he thought about it and realized that it didn't seem to make a difference. After all, if he had stayed up for three or four days without sleep, he probably wouldn't even need to be in bed; he could fall asleep sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Lina hugging him with a relieved expression, Zhang Hao couldn't help but smile.

"Take a good rest, Lina. This is your new home."

Chapter 723 Hudson: Is he really that brave?

Inside Hudson's office at this moment.

"Are you saying that this matter is inextricably linked to that guy Ries?"

As Hudson listened to the report from the spies he had planted around Demulan, he couldn't help but want to kill that Reese.

If I had known this damn guy was so good at causing trouble, I shouldn't have gone to cooperate with him in the first place. Although that other Said was indeed a bit of a noob, at least he wouldn't be as stupid as this Reis to stab me twice.

Hudson: I've really been forcibly brainwashed by him. No, no, I have to get my people out of his Ouroboros neighborhood now, so I don't get involved in this mess.

As a smart man, Hudson understood very well the importance of cutting his losses in time to avoid further damage from getting involved with Reis, which would truly be a losing proposition.

"Then... Lord Hudson, are you going to send those soldiers who just arrived and set up camp back again?"

"Of course not, I remember... the management in the Ashes District is actually very lax."

Hudson's secretary broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Hudson said. What was his master up to now? This idea of ​​the Ash District was really not to be trifled with.

You have to understand that this Ash Zone is where Hafk stores his weapons in Asara. If they just openly put their soldiers there, even if the Lord is now the largest board member in Hafk, he won't be able to stand up to the law.

If Demulan were to seize the opportunity to bring this up, Mr. Jacob would also be held responsible. Hudson noticed his secretary's expression and then said:

"What I said before was that if you can't give me a solution, then you can leave. I didn't hire you to be a freeloader. Haven't you been saying you're great at handling things? Now's your time to show your personal value."

Hudson's words made the secretary even more flustered. From the very beginning, there was a rumor that Hudson had been trying to poach Demulan's secretary, but the other party had been ignoring Lord Hudson, so Lord Hudson had no choice but to keep his own.

In this situation, the secretary's brain started working frantically. Since Lord Hudson had set his sights on this Ash District, there must be a solution. So now he had to start thinking about where to begin.

Then, the secretary immediately thought of what Hudson had said earlier about the very lax management of the Ash District. Upon realizing this, the secretary's eyes lit up, and after quickly devising two plans in her mind, she cautiously spoke to Hudson:

“Lord Hudson, I think there are two ways if we want to station our soldiers near the Ashes.”

Seeing his secretary sweating profusely and racking his brains for a long time, Hudson signaled that he could start reporting and see if his ideas would meet his standards.

"Lord Hudson, for the first method, I think we can take advantage of the laxity of the outer defenses and bribe the soldiers on the perimeter at minimal cost. That way, even if they see us camping nearby, they won't say much. However, there is still a certain risk of being discovered."

"I... I've investigated before. Judging from the recent events, Demulan hasn't gone to the Ashes District for checkups for several years. Although this is the least costly approach, the real danger is that Demulan might suddenly get the urge to go there for a checkup, and that would be disastrous."

"The second method is that we start to find a way to dismiss the soldiers stationed there and replace them with our own soldiers. At the same time, we simultaneously carry out the plan to strengthen reinforcements to the Ash Zone and expand the Ash Zone. In this way, our people can be settled in a very safe and secure manner."

"Furthermore, Lord Hudson, if you wish for these soldiers to put pressure on Demulan, this journey can also bring fatal pressure to Demulan."

After hearing the secretary's two proposals, Hudson fell silent. It was truly infuriating! Seeing the secretary's relieved expression after speaking, Hudson finally uttered a faint remark:

“I don’t keep idle people with my money. Go collect your money and get out of here. Before you leave, tell Demulan to arrange a new secretary for me.”

The secretary, who had been smugly pleased with herself for coming up with two solutions in a short time, was completely dumbfounded when she heard that she had been fired. Why was the Predator firing her again? Hadn't she come up with two solutions around the Ember Zone as he had instructed?

Could it be that his two proposals were so bad that he was thinking of firing him again? Although the secretary had countless doubts in his heart, having worked with Hudson for a while, he knew that the only thing he could do now was to obediently follow Hudson's orders, take his salary, and leave.

After everyone in the office had left, Hudson returned to his seat, but this time, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Reis's Longbow Valley.

"Tsk, if I could completely eliminate Reis, I could consider it a good deed. But right now, with the soldiers I haven't even had time to transport all of them, taking down Reis... is indeed not an easy task."

Hudson leaned back in his chair and looked out the window. Right now, his priority was to sever all ties with Reis before figuring out how to deal with his large group of soldiers.

"Let's call that guy Reis first. Since he dared to do this, it means there must be someone backing him up. Otherwise, I really don't believe that Reis could be so bold."

Chapter 724 I Voluntarily Withdraw from the Cooperation

"Hey, what do you want calling me at this hour? Aren't you going to sleep in the middle of the day?!"

Hudson's phone call successfully woke Reese from her sweet dream. When she opened her eyes and picked up her phone, which was lying to the side, she was surprised to see Hudson calling her out of the blue.

"It's nothing, Reis. This is probably the last time I'll be calling you. I'll start gradually withdrawing my soldiers from your Ouroboros district. Our cooperation ends here. But don't worry, I won't take back the resources and Haff coins I gave you before. Consider it rent for these days."

Hudson was too lazy to respond to Reis's comment. Dealing with this kind of thug required a quick resolution, and in situations like this, you had to be prepared to have a piece of your flesh bitten off by a mad dog like Reis.

After hearing Hudson's words, Reese's head, which had been still a little drowsy, immediately cleared up. It seemed that Hudson had somehow gotten information about his attack on the United Nations.

"Hudson, what do you mean by this? You don't seem like the type to do this kind of unprofitable business. What's wrong with you again? Hehe, I, Old Lei, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me. Maybe I can help you."

Faced with Reis's words, Hudson couldn't help but curse Reis in his heart. In Assara, who didn't know that Reis's reputation was already ruined? If he dared to accept this kind of "help" today, he would probably be so badly cheated by Reis that he wouldn't even recognize his own mother tomorrow.

"No need. I think you're a smart man, Reese. Some things don't need to be explained so clearly. It's better to save face for both of us. Okay, that's all I have to say. You don't need to use this number to contact me anymore."

After saying that, Hudson hung up the phone and then canceled the SIM card. As for whether Reese would record the conversation, Hudson wasn't worried. After all, with his current technological skills, he could remotely control Reese's phone and erase all the information about him.

"I need to be more careful next time I look for a partner. If I end up with someone like Reese again, I'll be completely humiliated."

When Hudson thought of this, he suddenly realized why he couldn't unite with the other Asara leaders to take down Reis and redistribute the Longbow Valley, Ouroboros District, and the area surrounding the Tower of Babel.

"Perhaps... I can go and discuss this matter with Youssef. I feel it's very feasible!"

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

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

"Um~~~"

When Lina opened her eyes again, she found the entire room was dark. After a deep sleep, Lina felt that she was in great physical condition.

"I haven't slept this well in ages. Hmm? Where's Xiao Hao? Where did my big Xiao Hao go?"

But after stretching, Lina was a little confused as to why Xiao Hao, who had been lying next to her and being held in her arms while sleeping, had disappeared.

When Lina took out her phone, she realized that she had slept straight through until 9 p.m., and her stomach was already rumbling in protest.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry. Should we go downstairs and see if there's anything we can eat?"

After thinking it over, Lina decided to go out to find food at this time. After all, it wouldn't do to stay hungry, so she had to fill her stomach first.

Most importantly, at this time, Xiao Hao and the others should have only been awake for a short while, so there's a very high chance they'll get to eat Xiao Hao's unparalleled and perfect cooking skills.

After Lina went out, she immediately saw Xiao Hao busy in the kitchen downstairs, while several familiar people were sitting in the living room.

"Hey! Lina, you're awake! Come on, Xiao Hao, is this enough? Lina's awake now too. This should be enough for the seven of us!"

Roy, nicknamed "Little Radar," also saw Lina leaving the house. He then turned to Zhang Hao in the kitchen and spoke to him, while Zoya beside him gave a disdainful look.

"Tch, what do you mean by 'enough' or 'not enough'? If you and Weilong had eaten just a little less, that amount would have been enough for all of us girls. I really don't know how your stomachs are built. Even pigs probably can't eat as much as you guys."

Hearing Zoya diss him like that, Roy initially thought he should say something in rebuttal, but after carefully considering that his and Weilong's combined appetite was indeed enough for the five girls plus Xiaohao, he simply muttered something under his breath:

"I don't actually eat as much as Weilong. You can't just say I'm good; you have to take care of Weilong too."

Amidst the commotion, Lina went straight to the kitchen. Seeing Zhang Hao busy there, she couldn't help but ask if he needed any help.

"No need, Lina. Just wait in the living room for a bit. I can handle things here by myself. I'll cook seafood noodles for you tonight. Don't worry, it'll definitely fill your stomachs."

Zhang Hao smiled at Lina, jokingly. It was just that Sister Cammy wanted to learn some cooking skills from him. Otherwise, as a master chef, he really didn't need anyone bothering him.

Looking at the large bowl of noodles he had prepared that hadn't been cooked yet, and the pot of broth bubbling away, Zhang Hao sighed with satisfaction. He realized he had successfully discovered another simple way to feed Brother Weilong and Roy.

After waiting for about five minutes, Zhang Hao started adding different amounts of noodles according to each person's appetite. He put Brother Weilong and Luo Yi last, since his idea was to take care of everyone else first and then leave the finishing touches to these two "meal-making machines".

Chapter 725 The King of Fun

After feeding Wei Long and Luo Yi, the two "big eaters," Zhang Hao sat down next to the older women to rest. He then left the remaining cleanup work to Wei Long and Luo Yi.

As we all know, people's brains are usually very active after a big meal at night. Simply put, they start to overthink because they're full and have too much to eat.

Meanwhile, Zoya, acting as the eldest sister, grabbed Zhang Hao from between Luna and Mai Xiaowen, pinching his cheek as she casually asked:

"Xiao Hao, after we help Said liberate Asara, are you planning to settle down in Asara or go back to China? You're not going to get lured to Hafk's side by that little girl named Kami, are you?"

Hearing Zoya's tentative question, Zhang Hao was slightly taken aback. He realized he hadn't even considered this yet. After all, he had been living with everyone in the Special Operations Department, and he realized he had never thought about the seemingly not-so-distant future.

The confusion on Zhang Hao's face did not escape the notice of these people, and they began to have their own little schemes.

Luna and Claire were the most indifferent of them, since Claire and Luna had already found each other, and now they could go wherever Xiao Hao wanted to go.

Of course, as things stand, staying in Asara seems to be the best choice right now. After all, if Said successfully liberates Asara... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Xiao Hao a founding general.

From this perspective, things like the three wives and four concubines that have been abolished in China can be done with a single word in Asara's case. Moreover, with the two sisters working together, it shouldn't be a problem for them to be the first wife!

Zoya and Mai Xiaowen both looked conflicted. Although they really wanted to take Xiao Hao to the country where they had always lived, it seemed that once they arrived, apart from China, which was the safest country in the world, there was no other place as free as Asara.

Mai Xiaowen: I'm so conflicted, but I feel that given Xiao Hao's personality, most players would probably be willing to stay and build their own utopia after the server opens!

"What? What are you guys talking about? Why are you so serious? Come on, let's share this properly with Roy!"

After washing the dishes, Roy and Wei Long walked out of the kitchen and saw several people sitting on the sofa with different expressions. Claire, of course, was still carefree, but her eyes kept glancing at Zhang Hao, as if she was thinking of doing something naughty again.

Claire: Huh!? Was I really that obvious? I actually feel like I've reduced the frequency of my sneaky glances at Xiao Hao a lot, mainly because Xiao Hao is just too cute. Every time I see Xiao Hao, my eyes are fixed on him and I can't look away!

Claire noticed that the people around her didn't seem to care about Roy, so she told Roy and Weilong about the conversation between Zoya and Zhang Hao.

"What?! Do we even need to consider this? Xiao Hao, you're just staying in Asara, enjoying yourself with Said and the others, that's all. Besides, did you guys get dizzy from eating noodles tonight? Xiao Hao didn't consider it because he had no other choice. What if that old woman Demulan goes crazy if we're not in Asara?"

At this moment, Roy felt like an omniscient and omnipotent god, while Zoya, who could usually suppress him with a single finger, seemed to have thought of something and chose to turn her head away from him.

Roy: Wonderful, this is absolutely wonderful! This just goes to show that eating too many carbs at night can really make your brain less sharp, but I'm different! I, Roy, am a genius! I wouldn't let these two little noodles make me lose my head.

After a slight embarrassment, Zoya racked her brains and forced out a sentence:

"So what? I... can't we just run away with that woman from Demulan? All Demulan wants is to get that woman into Xiaohao's group, she didn't say she wouldn't take her..."

Unfortunately, even Zoya herself fell silent after saying this. Oh no, she had lost face in front of that bastard Roy. To be honest, if they really dared to run away with Kami, Demulan would go crazy the next moment.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep! What are you doing here after you've eaten? Seriously, we were having a nice chat, and you ruined the whole atmosphere. Xiao Hao, I'm really angry right now. You know what to do!"

Zoya, whose skin had been mercilessly rubbed raw by Roy, stood up in a fit of rage, then grabbed Zhang Hao and prepared to leave this heartbreaking place.

Zhang Hao: No, Sister Zoya, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. Do you have to take your frustrations out on me? Can't you be like Sister Luna and Sister Claire.................

Watching Zhang Hao being taken away, Lina initially wanted to say something, but remembering that she had already enjoyed Xiao Hao for a long time, she leaned back on the sofa and asked curiously:
