"I thought you had only blocked a few of Hudson's key projects, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, Demulan. You blocked them all at once. No wonder Hudson had to go to Jacob in the middle of the night to complain about us."

In response to Daisy's complaints, Desmoulins sat down beside her and explained:

"I did exactly what you said, and besides, I was a little scared at the time that Hudson didn't intend to fire my Cammy."

Daisy thought about it and realized it made sense, so she didn't say anything more, but she still offered a reminder:

"Tomorrow, let him go through a few less useful projects. That way, we can explain things to Jacob. Anyway, it's enough to block the expansion project in the Ashes District and a few aviation-related projects."

Demulan nodded in agreement. Indeed, he had blocked a few too many projects at once, which Hudson saw as a slap in the face to him, the largest board member. No wonder he went to Jacob to complain.

This guy probably thought that since Jacob had come to his office that morning, he would be able to get some updates on his projects. But after waiting all day in his office, he found that none of Jacob's projects had made any progress, so he got angry and went to find Jacob.

Demulan: Seriously, is Daisy really that terrible? Hudson would rather go to Jacob than Daisy. It seems that this shrew's reputation has spread throughout the entire Hafk.

After driving for a while, Kami and the others returned to the Special Operations Department. When they saw that there was such a building in this remote and hidden place, Kami was completely bewildered.

"Come on, Cammy, what are you still standing at the door for? Don't be shy, the people inside the Special Operations Department aren't as scary as you think."

Seeing that Cammy was just standing blankly at the door without going in, Zhang Hao and Claire exchanged a glance, and then the two of them went forward and dragged Cammy into the Secret Service building, one on each side.

Under Kamina's restrained gaze, she stepped directly into the gate of the Special Operations Department and then saw the place where Xiao Hao had always lived.

"Oh?! You've finally brought her back. Hello, young lady. This must be our second meeting. Come, come, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Roy, and I'm an internal medicine surgeon in this Special Operations Unit. If you need anything, just let me know."

As soon as Kami entered, Roy, who had been waiting there, saw him and rushed over to shake his hand. Roy then volunteered to introduce Kami to the people from the Special Operations Department.

"See this guy with the buzz cut? This is our Special Operations Unit's nuclear-powered donkey. Oh right, I remember you saw him last time, right? He was wearing a helmet that time. Just call him Mighty Dragon. By the way, Mighty Dragon, what are you still doing standing here? Didn't you see the bag on his back? Oh, and the box over there by Xiao Hao."

After Roy's enthusiastic introduction, Cammy, somewhat dazed, greeted everyone in the Secret Service.

"Um... my name is Kami. From now on, please... please take care of me!"

When the others saw this shy and timid little girl, they all smiled kindly at her. They usually played with Roy a lot, and seeing this shy little girl made them feel like their personas were about to be established again.

Roy: What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? This is clearly something you've been doing all along, and one by one of you has started to lose all sense of shame. And now you're blaming me for it.

"Alright, you guys, don't scare her anymore. Xiao Hao, Claire, you two take Cammy to see the room that's been prepared for her. Cammy, you should get some rest tonight, and then you can go and tour the place with Xiao Hao and the others tomorrow morning."

Just as Roy was eagerly preparing to take Kami for a leisurely stroll around the Special Operations Department, Deep Blue stepped forward, grabbed Roy, pulled him to the back, and then made arrangements.

After all, it's getting late, and besides, Kami just slipped out of the space base. His apparent energy is probably just due to adrenaline.

Once you get into bed and relax a bit, you'll quickly feel tired, which is why Deep Blue postponed the visit to the Secret Service to the next day.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao and Claire immediately took Cammy to her room. This room had been prepared for Claire before, but now that Cammy was here, and also because Claire had never slept in this room since joining the Special Operations Department.

Claire either raids Zhang Hao's room at night or goes to Luna's room to get close to her, which makes it just the right amount to give to Kami.

Chapter 738 Kami's Troubles (1)

After tidying up the room for Kami, Zhang Hao looked at Kami, who still seemed a little unsettled, and said:

"Sister Cammy, you still need to get used to this new environment for a while. Don't rush. If you need anything, just come to my room. I showed you my room when we arrived. I'll take you to see it tomorrow!"

After hearing Zhang Hao's words, Camina's still somewhat uneasy heart calmed down a little. She nodded to Zhang Hao, and after saying goodnight to each other, Zhang Hao left the room.

After the room had completely quieted down, Kami lay down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. Then, Kami couldn't help but want to make a video call to Demulan.

"Well, let's make a call. Although I already sent a message to my mom when I arrived at the Special Operations Department, I feel it would be better to make a video call."

After thinking for a while, Kami took out his phone and made a video call to Demulan. The video call was answered by Demulan within seconds.

Upon seeing Camille already lying in bed, Demulan immediately asked:

"What's wrong, little Kami? Do you miss your mom so soon? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable staying at the Special Operations Department?"

Looking at Kami's pitiful little eyes, Demulan couldn't help but show a loving smile. After all, Kami was a piece of his own flesh and blood. Even though Kami didn't say anything, Demulan could clearly tell what Kami was thinking from her eyes.

"Well, just now a kind uncle named Roy showed me around and introduced me to everyone in the Special Operations Unit. Everyone was very nice and very welcoming to me, but I still... feel a little uncomfortable."

Knowing her daughter's personality all too well, Demulan could only smile. This kind of personality flaw could only be changed by Cammy herself. Even as a mother, she could only offer Cammy some advice based on her own experience.

"It's okay, Kami. Everything takes time. You don't need to be in such a hurry. You can't expect to become friends with them in just a few days, can you?"

Roy/Rometheus: You're bragging? Well, all we can say is that Demulan is completely ignorant. Just watch and see the bond between us two Roy brothers!

"Yes, I know, Mom. Tomorrow morning, Xiaohao will take me to the Special Operations Department to give me a proper introduction, and then in the afternoon he will take me for a walk around the neighborhood to see their usual patrol routes."

Looking at Camille, whose face still bore a melancholy expression, Demulan couldn't help but wonder if there was any way to ease her anxiety.

"Hey! Kami, although you're supposed to be going to the Special Operations Department to lay low for a while, honestly, you can totally show your value there. Is your anxiety because you feel like you're just coasting along without doing anything?"

Demulan's words seemed to have spoken exactly what Kami was thinking, and Kami's eyes lit up slightly. He then nodded and said:

"It seems I do have a bit of a feeling about that. I think everyone else is from the Special Operations Department, and they are backed by GTI. Even Claire isn't one of us anymore. And even if we remove Claire's identity from the Huffk organization, she and Luna here have been friends for many years."

"If I really have to talk about relationships, the only people I have any connection with are Xiao Hao and Claire. Besides, I have Hafk behind me. I... I always feel like an outsider."

After listening to Cammy's story, Demulan finally understood why his Cammy was so melancholy, and then said:

"Hey, Kami, have you forgotten? You're no longer affiliated with Hafk. You've been fired. You don't need to worry about anything with GTI. Just consider it a brand new identity for you, an identity that allows you to stay by Xiao Hao's side openly and legitimately!"

"Don't think that you're my daughter, Demulan. Remember, now that GTI has taken you in, you're a member of GTI. Think about what you can do with them as a member of GTI."

Demulan also started his persuasive mode, saying that young people these days are so easily confused, how can they be so anxious about a question about identity and stance?

DeMullan: To be honest, this part should have been discussed with your Aunt Daisy. If you were even half as outgoing as your Aunt Daisy, you'd probably be at the GTI partying right now.

"Kami, you need to think more about your own strengths and what advantages you have compared to others. The first thing we need to do is to use these advantages to handle things."

"Think about it, didn't you do a great job handling logistical matters during your time in Hafk? That's your strength!"

Kami was also a little confused after hearing this. She was indeed quite confident when it came to handling documents and she wasn't as shy when communicating with people as she was now, but what did that have to do with the present situation?

"But Mom, there don't seem to be any documents here that I need to arrange, and that kind of thing falls under the category of central control and dispatch, right?"

Demulan couldn't help but silently complain to himself. How could his Cammy be so naive? Could it be that, as Daisy had said before, Cammy was being protected too well?

"Are you stupid, Kami? Who said that working in the Special Operations Division means you have to deal with documents? Didn't you just say that this falls under central control and resource allocation? Why don't you develop in that direction?"

"Look, if GTI really goes into action, you, as a complete weakling with zero combat ability—of course, that's not what I mean—but Kami, you can act as a battlefield commander and contribute to their cause!"

Chapter 739 Nobody here early in the morning?

After Demulan's explanation and encouragement, Kami's previously heavy mood improved considerably, and he also gained a general direction for his future in the Secret Service.

After hanging up the phone, Kami smiled contentedly, pulled the covers up, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. She decided to deal with the future later; she needed to rest first so she could go for a walk around the Special Operations Unit with Xiao Hao tomorrow.

"Finished the call? Judging from your expression, do you think you can comfort Kami?"

At the space base, Daisy looked at Demulan, who was beaming with pride after finishing her phone call, and asked curiously, "Does Demulan actually know how to comfort people? You know, Cammy is just as stubborn as Demulan and her husband."

When I was in the United States, I really treated Kami to the best food and drink, and took meticulous care of her, afraid that this sensitive girl might have some psychological problems.

After all, when Camille saw Demulan lying unconscious in bed after surgery, he immediately locked himself in his room without eating or drinking, which terrified Daisy.

And now, this Demulan is telling me that this person is actually very easy to coax. Does that mean I've become a clown before?

"What else can I do? Do you think I don't know how to comfort people? Back when I was in the office, I had the best reporting skills in the entire department. Now that I've found out what's bothering Kami, why don't we work together to come up with a solution?"

Looking at Demulan, who spoke so simply, Daisy felt a little depressed. If only it were really as simple as Demulan made it out to be. She knew exactly what Camille was troubled about back then.

Even after Daisy showed Cammy the video and information about Desmulan's awakening, Cammy still looked preoccupied.

"Hmph, you two, mother and daughter, only know how to bully me. I'm not playing with you anymore."

Speechless, Daisy decided to ignore the two people who only bullied her. She vowed never to bother arguing with them again and to let the mother and daughter have fun on their own.

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

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

Time flew by and it was already the next day. The sun had just risen when Kami, all dressed and ready, opened his door and stepped out. Although he didn't have the habit of sleeping in, it was still better to get up half an hour earlier than usual, since he wanted to leave a good impression on others.

However, when Kami arrived on the first floor, she was surprised to find that not a single person had come down. Looking at her watch, which showed a little after 6 a.m., Kami couldn't help but wonder if she had gotten up a little too early.

But I usually only get up at 6:30 to prepare breakfast for Aunt Daisy, and my mother usually gets up around the same time.

Feeling a bit bored, Kami obediently sat on the sofa and waited, but no one came out of the room until 6:30.

And this directly made our Kami insecure, didn't it? So the Secret Service wasn't the kind of militarized management he had imagined?

Zhang Hao: What?! Military-style management? Anyway, I don't think I've seen anything militarized since I came to the Special Operations Department, except when it comes to meals... it really does look quite like one.

It wasn't until nearly 7 o'clock that Kami saw Deep Blue and Terry emerge from their room one after the other. Upon seeing Kami waiting on the sofa downstairs, the two quickly went over to explain:

"You're up so early? How did you sleep last night? Kami, you can actually sleep a little later. We're not as strict as you think. Sometimes, if Xiao Hao and the others play late at night, they sleep until 9 a.m. in the morning."

Shenlan immediately explained the situation of the Special Operations Department to Kami. Didn't anyone tell Kami last night that they didn't need to get up so early here? As a result, he had to sit here all alone for so long on his first day.

"Why don't you go to the gym with Terry to train for a bit? I'll make you breakfast now. Xiao Hao and the others will be coming down soon, so why don't you call Xiao Hao down to train with them, Terry?"

When Deep Blue thought about Camina's introverted and shy nature, he decided to have Terry call Xiao Hao down as well.

Deep Blue: Otherwise, given Terry's taciturn nature, I'm afraid Cammy might think we're not welcoming him.

Thinking that she had promised to take good care of Kami, Shenlan naturally wouldn't just say it, so she immediately took Kami and knocked on Zhang Hao's door.

"Who?"

After waiting for about ten seconds, Zhang Hao, rubbing his eyes and yawning, opened the door. Seeing Kami and Shen Lan standing there, Zhang Hao looked bewildered, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"Did I get up too late? Can I go back and check the time first?"

"No, Xiao Hao, it's 7:10 now. You're not too late. But there's something I need your help with."

Just as Zhang Hao was about to go back and check what time it was, Shen Lan quickly called out to him and then briefly explained the situation to him.

"Oh, I see. Sure, Cammy, would you like to come in and wait for me? I'll wash up and then we'll go down to the gym together for a good workout. Let me tell you, Uncle Terry is really good at fitness. We'll go ask him for advice and get him to make you a training plan!"

After clearing his head a little, Zhang Hao patted his chest and readily agreed. He then asked Kami to wait in his room while he washed up and then took her downstairs.

Seeing that Xiao Hao had handled things well, Shen Lan nodded in satisfaction. Entrusting Kami to Xiao Hao was truly reassuring, unlike someone else…

Roy: I feel like Deep Blue is hinting at me, but since you haven't said it outright, I'll just take it as you talking about Dragon.
