Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Listening to Hudson's excited expression in front of him, Geheros's first reaction was to start thinking about what kind of trap Hudson was digging for him this time, and whether he should explain the situation to Xiao Hao later.
Hudson: Wait, why did my heart skip a beat again? This isn't right, shouldn't everything be getting better and better? Sigh, I guess it's because I've been through too much mental stress lately, and my Dao heart is a bit unstable.
"The conditions you've offered are indeed very tempting, Hudson, but I'm not stupid. You definitely have some other motives behind this, don't you? Let me guess, is it related to Demulan? Among the people you've imprisoned in my Tidal Prison this time, are there any Demulan people among them?"
Upon hearing Geheros's words, Hudson's smile froze. He had already offered such excellent terms, so why was Geheros still interrogating him?
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even a child knows that. Hudson, do you think I don't know that? I was the whistleblower for GTI back in the day. I'm not as easy to fool as you think."
However, Hudson just chuckled, then leaned back in his chair, staring intently at Geheros, and said:
"Oh, I understand, Your Excellency Warden. So... what other conditions do you have that you are not satisfied with? Let's put them on the table and discuss them properly."
After all, although Geheros has verbally refused to cooperate with him again, he is still sitting here.
Hudson: Hehehe, isn't this the classic case of complaining that the offer I gave wasn't enough? But this Geheros is indeed a very worthwhile person to win over. Even if it costs a little more, it's worth it.
Chapter 809 Hudson's Attempt to Win Over Geheros
After all, whether in terms of political stance or his "Dark Star Project," Geheros was one of the most worthwhile people to win over in Hudson's eyes.
So now Hudson is trying his best to meet Geheros's demands. As long as his demands aren't too unreasonable, he's willing to be more tolerant and understanding.
According to Hudson's idea, Haff coins should be saved and spent sparingly. He should be stingy with people like Yousef. Even if he had money and could give each of his people five sets, he would still have to keep it to about three sets per person.
After all, Youssef is one of Asara's men, and after successfully launching Project Dark Star, Asara will eventually have to deal with Youssef.
Now that he's given him so much equipment, it wouldn't be good if he ended up using it all on himself. That's why Hudson was always haggling with Youssef when they were discussing the cooperation, trying to get as little as possible.
But this Gherros is different now. Although he used to be Asara's man, after experiencing so many betrayals, Hudson is certain that the current Gherros doesn't have any deep feelings for Asara.
After all, Geheros is now living a good life under Hafk's rule. Who would go back to a life of hardship after getting used to a good life?
Furthermore, given Gherros's position as warden, if we can get him to side with us this time, then this deal will be incredibly valuable and cost-effective.
After all, Hudson is still trying to circumvent Demulan's notice and is secretly starting to win over the leaders of various departments at the space base. With their support, he will have more confidence when introducing the dark star fuel at the meeting.
"I'll say it again: I won't get involved in your struggle with Demulan, and in my opinion, your actions are pointless. As for what else needs to be added, let me think about it some more. I'll come back to this office to see you the day after tomorrow..."
Seeing that Hudson had spoken to him in this way, Geheros didn't bother arguing with him anymore. He did need some resources to strengthen the security system in Tide Prison, even though Demulan had increased funding for Tide after the Raven was kidnapped.
But now that Hudson is so eager to give him the money, Geheros naturally has no objection. After all, who would complain about not having enough money?
"Take care, Geheros. If you go to Demulan, no matter what conditions she offers you, I can always add to them for you!"
Hudson smiled and nodded at Geheros, knowing that Geheros did indeed need some time to think things through and properly calculate the costs.
As for whether Geheros would go to Demulan, Hudson remained quite calm, admitting that he might not be able to outdo that old woman Daisy in dirty tricks.
However, Hudson was also very clear about where his advantage lay, and that was money. The combined funds of Demulan and Daisy could not match his own, as he had a family behind him.
This is also the source of Hudson's confidence to do so; in terms of financial resources, he dares to say that no one in Assara can compare to him.
Even if Demulan and Daisy have the best words, how much resource can they actually provide in the end? Moreover, as the head of the efficiency department at the space base, he now has the power to participate in the allocation and regulation of resources.
Unfortunately, despite Hudson's meticulous planning and consideration of almost everything, he hadn't anticipated that this man, Gherros, whom he thought would no longer have any feelings for Asara, would be the one standing before him.
His most important concern was helping Zhang Haosai and his men to unify and liberate Asara, and finally to establish friendly relations with Hafk, led by Demulan.
At this moment, Gherros appeared directly in Demulan's office. Upon seeing this "rare guest," Demulan, who was still sighing with worry in his chair, stood up, asked Mary to make Gherros a cup of coffee, and then sat down with him on the sofa in the reception area.
"Gheros, what brings you to the space base all of a sudden? Are you here for Space Station 36 as well?"
Gherros: ? ? ? ? ? ?
"What's wrong with Space Station 36? I came here this morning because Hudson sent me a letter asking me to come and visit his dock."
After hearing what Geheros said, Demulan couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment. This Hudson, couldn't wait to show off his ambition? It's only been a day, and he's already thinking about recruiting Geheros.
"What did he tell you? Is he trying to recruit you to his side? Geheros, let me tell you, what Hudson is trying to do is extremely dangerous. If his dark star fuel explodes in space, the entire Space Station 36 and all the researchers there will be destroyed."
However, after Demulan finished speaking, he noticed the somewhat puzzled look on Geheros's face. Then, remembering that Geheros wasn't connected to the internet yet, he handed him all the recent events and information from his desk.
During the time that Geheros was connected to the network, Demulan suddenly thought of something very important: now that Hudson was directly trying to win over Geheros to his face, what about the high-ranking officials who were still at the space base?
“Geheros, did you see anyone else while you were in Hudson’s office?”
While looking at the intelligence report, Geheros shook his head, indicating that it was just the two of them in his office.
Seeing this, Demulan could only keep the matter to himself and plan to have a proper talk with Daisy about it later.
"An energy crisis? Logically speaking, your space station shouldn't make such a mistake, so is Hudson thinking that this is a perfect opportunity to test his dark star fuel?"
Chapter 810 was already taken care of.
After reviewing the information, Geheros had a general understanding of the situation. It seemed that Demulan was facing a crisis. However, Geheros still spoke up:
"I just said the same thing to Hudson. I'm not getting involved in your struggle, so I apologize, Demulan. Even if you've told me all this, I won't say which side I'm on. I think this matter should ultimately be decided by Mr. Jacob."
Upon hearing what Geheros said, Demulan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. After all, her relationship with Geheros wasn't as close as her relationship with Rometheus. So, being rejected by him didn't surprise Demulan too much; she was just a little disappointed.
"It's alright. I'm just telling you the truth about this matter and the pros and cons. But Geheros, I hope you won't be misled by that guy Hudson."
Geheros nodded in agreement. While he wouldn't favor Demulan or Hudson, that didn't mean he couldn't give Xiao Hao a back door.
"There's another thing I wanted to talk to you about. Do you have Xiao Hao's contact information? I'll probably be here for about two days, and I want to meet Xiao Hao in Said."
After hearing Geheros say he wanted to find Xiao Hao, Demulan, somewhat puzzled, gave Geheros Zhang Hao's contact information and then asked, "..."
"Is there something you need to see Xiao Hao about? Speaking of which, Said seems to be quite busy lately. If you need to see them, just contact Xiao Hao. How about this, I'll have Mary prepare a room for you. You can stay here for the next few days."
Geheros nodded in agreement, and before getting up to leave, he whispered something to Demoulan:
"Perhaps the breakthrough you need lies with Xiao Hao."
After saying this, Geheros followed Mary away, leaving Demoulan still on the sofa, head down in thought.
Desmoulins: My mind tells me that now is the time to start calling on Daisy to help me solve this problem.
Desmulan appeared in Daisy's office in the next instant. Daisy, seeing Desmulan harassing her again, gave up and could only put down her phone to ask:
"What did he do now? I told Jacob about this yesterday, so now you just need to wait and see what kind of trouble Hudson is up to this time."
Demulan also said:
"That's why I came to talk to you about this. Geheros just came to see me. Hudson has already found him."
Upon hearing that Hudson had already begun to take action, and that his first target was Geheros, Daisy sat up straight and asked Desmulan:
"So what did Hudson and Geheros talk about this time? But given Geheros's unapproachable personality, he probably won't cooperate with Hudson, right? Kuangqi, didn't you tell me before that Geheros was related to Xiao Hao?"
Demoulin nodded in agreement.
"I'm not worried that Gherros will be swayed by Hudson to join his side. I just suddenly thought that after Hudson has finished dealing with Gherros, what if he starts undermining our space base?"
After hearing Demulan's concerns, Daisy couldn't help but smile. Was Demulan only now starting to consider this issue? But that was normal, since no one could predict what Hudson would do next.
"Don't worry about it, you don't need to worry about that. I've already taken care of it. If I had waited for you to come to me in such a hurry to deal with it, Hudson would probably have already poached us all."
Hearing Daisy say that she had anticipated these things and had already dealt with them, Demulan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had tricked Daisy into coming to Asara long ago; otherwise, if she were alone, Hudson might have taken advantage of her vulnerability.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Meanwhile, after following Mary to the room that had been prepared for him, Gherros quickly checked the room and then took out his phone to call Zhang Hao. He also had an idea to go and discuss it with Said and Raven.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out Xiao Hao's thoughts, since Geheros had already realized that the key to maintaining peace and balance between Hafk and Asara was Xiao Hao.
After the call connected, Zhang Hao's somewhat puzzled voice came through:
"Hello. Who is this?"
As Zhang Hao stared at the unfamiliar number on his phone screen, he began to wonder who had called him. Normal people shouldn't know his number; the only way to find him was to start with someone he knew.
Zhang Hao: Hmm... It couldn't possibly be Reis, right? No, no, Uncle Said wouldn't have given my number to Reis, so Reis can be ruled out. Then what about Aunt Demulan...?
"It's me, Xiao Hao, Geheros."
Upon hearing that the person on the other end was Geheros, Zhang Hao revealed an expression of "I knew it," as he had just recalled that name.
After all, Zhang Hao hadn't had any contact with Gheros since the last time he destroyed Tide Prison. As the warden of Tide Prison, Gheros must have been quite busy.
Zhang Hao: Especially since a group of us rushed over and blew up their territory, we were still a little embarrassed, hehe.
"Ah, it's Uncle Geheros. Is there something you need from me?"
Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Why is Geheros coming to me at this time? Could it be that something has happened at Tide Prison again?"
"Well, it's not a big deal, actually. Xiao Hao, I'd like you to help me contact Said and Raven. I have something I'd like to discuss with you two. Could you set a time or something?"
Chapter 811 The Restless Reis
Upon hearing what Geheros said, Zhang Hao immediately thought of the raven who was still farming with Said at Dam Zero.
It seems that Gheros has some ideas for cooperating with Asara this time.
At the same time, Zhang Hao also realized that this Geheros seemed to be from Asara, and that he had always wanted to promote a cooperative relationship between Asara and the Hafk Group.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao quickly agreed, and then told Geheros to wait a little while he discussed it with Said and would let him know the time later.
"Xiao Hao, I can smell the scent of freedom again. You're planning to go to Said's place, right? Actually, I've been itching to go for a long time."
Just as Zhang Hao hung up the phone and was about to contact Said, Roy, who had been inquiring about the situation, came up behind Zhang Hao and looked at him with a gossipy expression.
How could he go to the dam without bringing himself along? Besides, he'd been thinking of getting a closer look at how that "Red Owl Hunting" thing was going on at the prison.
Roy: Hehehe, actually I feel like I could go there and have some fun if I wore a mask. Of course, if Deep Blue found out, I'd probably get a beating.
“No way, Roy. I’m going to Uncle Said this time to discuss the cooperation between Asara and the Hafk Group. You should just stay here in the Special Operations Department.”
Faced with Roy's enthusiasm, Zhang Hao's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Roy's originally fiery head, chilling him to the bone.
Roy: Waaaaah, so... have I been abandoned again? This is so heartbreaking!
Ignoring Roy, who had run off again and started wriggling on the floor to scrub it, Zhang Hao dialed Said's number.
"Hey Uncle Saeed, do you have time tomorrow?"
After the call connected, Zhang Hao didn't chat with Said as usual; he went straight to the point and asked the question.
"Tomorrow... Xiao Hao, what's wrong? Are you coming tomorrow? Or does Demulan want you to bring her here to talk to me about something?"
