Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"Alright, now that Reis and the others have left, your people should be arriving soon. Now let the wind dissipate naturally. I should head back now."

Thinking about how his newly repaired Tidal Prison was now riddled with holes again, Geheros frowned. He realized that he was beginning to understand why Demulan had been so determined to eliminate Reis.

"Okay, take care on your journey. I won't see you off."

Demulan nodded in agreement. Tide Prison was probably going to be busy for a while now. Who knew how many people had escaped during the riot? And in the confrontation with Reese's team, quite a few prison guards must have died in the line of duty.

Thinking of this, Demulan quickly called out to Geheros, who had just reached the office door, and said:

“Gheros, wait a moment. Before you leave, you can go see Hudson. As the warden of Tide Prison, I think you should try to get more compensation for the prison guards who are injured or killed.”

Gheros turned around and glanced at Demulan, then nodded. It seemed that Demulan had stumbled in this very spot before, otherwise he wouldn't have come to remind him.

However, since he was planning to meet with Hudson anyway to discuss future collaborations, Geheros agreed and headed directly to Hudson's office at the dock.

Chapter 822 discusses cooperation

After finding a soldier on Hudson's side and instructing him to inform Hudson, the soldier soon brought Geheros to Hudson's office.

At that moment, Hudson was watching the video of the tornado sweeping across the sky, displayed on the Skynet satellite. Upon seeing Geheros enter, Hudson couldn't help but sigh in amazement:

"Wonderful. This power to simulate natural disasters will surely become a powerful weapon that will revolutionize the battlefield in the future."

Hudson, as the largest board member on Asara's side, was naturally aware that Hafk had established a laboratory in the Tide Prison specifically for the research and testing of weather weapons, but he never expected that the weapon would be so powerful.

"Gheros, I'd like to ask you, how much power did you use to create this tornado? In terms of our current technology, what level can this weather weapon achieve?"

Looking at Geheros who had sat down in front of him, Hudson couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Geheros a question.

"This is just the experimental stage. I can say that I have adjusted it to the maximum power that we can currently control. You want to turn this into a natural disaster? I can only say that it is unlikely. And Hudson, we should have at least some respect for nature. Natural disasters are not something to be trifled with."

Hearing the seriousness in Geheros's tone, Hudson suggested that they leave the topic at that for now, since he wouldn't ultimately have control over the weather weapon.

Once this research and development is completed, Mr. Jacob will definitely take back the weapon and its core technologies as soon as possible. In the end, he will only be an early witness.

"This time, Reis led the team to blow up the Tide Prison, resulting in damage to the equipment and a number of casualties."

After saying all this, Geheros leaned back and stared intently at Hudson, waiting for what kind of answer he would get.

After hearing what Geheros said, Hudson narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. Now this Geheros... is even starting to strategize and control him. Interesting.

"I think you must have heard some slanderous things about me from Demulan, otherwise I believe you would never look at me like that. Believe me, Gherros, I would never do what Demulan said. It was just the last struggle of the weak."

Hudson inadvertently revealed that he hadn't cared at all about Demulan's evaluation of him in front of Geheros, since he considered such behavior to be very low-class and something he completely disdained.

"Don't worry, Geheros. No matter how things change, I, Hudson, will still say the same thing as I told you at the beginning: as long as you agree to the cooperation we discussed before, these things are open to discussion."

Hudson also expressed his opinion, stating that he had never changed his mind. In fact, one of the conditions he initially offered was to provide more resources to the Tidal Prison managed by Geheros.

After receiving Hudson's assurance, Geheros said no more, knowing that the matter was essentially settled.

For him, this collaboration with Hudson was a sure-fire way to make money, although he was also a little curious as to why Hudson would be so generous to him.

But now that Hudson has given him such a great deal of convenience, Geheros naturally wouldn't keep making excuses like a woman, and immediately agreed to cooperate with Hudson.

Hudson smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this and extended his hand to Geheros:

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Geheros. I've already found you a construction team to help you repair the Tide Prison. It's a top-notch engineering team from China, a super team that can work 24/7. To be honest, I think if we in Hafk could also implement the Chinese plan, our economy would definitely improve even faster!"

After getting what he wanted, Geheros had no intention of staying there to chat with Hudson any longer. After saying goodbye one last time, he drove back to his Tidal Prison.

It's important to understand that identifying those who were abducted and the prison guards who were injured or killed later on was a considerable workload. Geheros could tell that he wouldn't be able to get any personal rest for at least this week.

Geheros: Really... If I were Demoulan back then, since we'd already let him go, I might as well have just wiped out Reis in one fell swoop. I was wondering why Demoulan didn't even have time to fly back to the US for a meeting back then, now I understand.

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

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

"Wow! Damn, I've made a fortune this time!"

Unlike the somber atmosphere of Hafk, Reese, who had safely returned to Longbow Valley, said he needed to pop some champagne and throw a party to properly celebrate his victory.

Although many of his men were caught in the tornado and their fates were unknown, the pressure on Reese's shoulders was immediately relieved when he saw the people who had been transported there and the several truckloads of people following behind him.

If we exclude the women and children among those people I brought back as sustainable resources, my current combat strength, combined with my equipment, is more than enough to fight Yusuf in a bloody battle.

Reese: Hehehe, that bastard Yusuf can't beat me. If he wants to compete with me in terms of equipment, he's just waiting to die. Besides, I've now made up for my only weakness. This time... I'm going to fight back!

"Go, start distributing all the resources, food, and drink from the warehouse. Go and gather these people together, understand? Make them willing to risk their lives for us, make them consider this Longbow Valley their home!"

After entrusting this morale-boosting task to one of his soldiers, Reis planned to return to his office and open a bottle of his prized wine to celebrate.

"Oh, by the way, damn it, go check if there's a guy named Patton among these cars later, you know?"

Chapter 823 A Calamity That Lasts a Thousand Years

Just as Reese was about to turn around and return to his Diamond Queen Hotel, he suddenly realized that he hadn't heard a single word about Barton from the crowd.

Thinking that he could find Barton, his full-time butler, Reese immediately ordered his men to search for him.

Although that's what they said, Reese actually knew perfectly well that Barton probably wouldn't be coming back with this group this time.

Based on his understanding of that coward Barton, he knew that the first thing Barton would do upon arriving at Longbow Valley would be to run to him crying and tumbling over, recounting all the things he had experienced in Tide Prison.

Reis sent these people down to search, hoping that Barton might be unable to speak anymore, thus leaving himself a sliver of hope.

Reese: Damn it, only Patton was really useful. Give him a salary and his efficiency and ability are equivalent to five people now. We were really too hasty back then.

But after being upset for less than two seconds, Reese said he would go back to take a shower and drink. After all, he had won a battle, even though he had done something unethical by launching a sneak attack. But wasn't a sneak attack a tactic in itself?

Right now, what Reese was thinking was actually very simple: now that he had lost Barton, this useful tool, and there was no suitable replacement to be found in Longbow Valley, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Then we need to speed things up and take over the other places as soon as possible. Then, among the people we have conquered, we can choose someone as capable as Patton.

Reese: Damn it, while Barton is indeed the best I feel he is in Longbow Valley, if we don't have one here, then borrowing one from someone else's territory shouldn't be a problem, right?

For Reese, who only cares about himself, even Barton, who is the most to his liking, is nothing more than a tool that can be replaced at will.

Anyway, as long as he can find a similar tool, Reese doesn't care whether it's easy to use or not. As long as it can get things done for him in the end, it's a good tool.

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

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

"Xiao Hao, are you sure you're not joking with us? Tidal Prison has been blown up?"

After returning to the Special Operations Division, Zhang Hao told everyone there that Reis had led a group to blow up Tide Prison.

Upon hearing such explosive news, even the usually composed Deep Blue couldn't help but swear along with Zoya.

After all, in their eyes, Reis was simply a reckless gambler who was risking his life, and this time it could be said that he had directly gambled away their entire Longbow Valley.

If anything unexpected happens this time, Longbow Valley will immediately become an extremely sought-after prize. If it gets to that point, it will be absolutely impossible for Said and Yousef to maintain the superior-subordinate relationship they have now.

If Said really couldn't hold on any longer, Deep Blue had even considered having Xiao Hao go to Hafk's place to ask Rometheus or someone else for a few people to come and secretly help Said.

Deep Blue: Although I've been honest for half my life, I've still seen plenty of this kind of thing. Besides, when you're just one step away from victory, why be so honest? The outcome is always written by the winner, okay?

"So what's the situation now?"

Zhang Hao shook his head at this. Didn't he tell you about this as soon as he got back? How could he have had time to find out what happened next?

Seeing this, Kami very sensibly took out his phone to search for the latest gossip, but after sending several messages to Demulan without receiving a reply, Kami could only wait helplessly.

"Seriously, if only Reese and his men had been locked up in that Tidal Prison. This guy should be put in solitary confinement and taught a lesson. He's never done anything human!"

At the same time, this ending regarding Reis has inevitably divided the public into two factions.

One faction, represented by the two Roys, suggested that Reiss probably died inside the Tidal Prison. After all, it was impossible for the Tidal Prison not to have undergone some upgrades and modifications after they had messed with it before.

"If Geheros still intends to continue managing things the way he did before, then disregard what I said. But if he makes any significant improvements, given the typical nouveau riche style of the Hafk Group, how could Reis and his group possibly escape!"

However, the other side, led by Wei Long, believed that Reis would not be taken offline so easily, after all, they still had to respect probability.

"Why is it impossible? Didn't Xiao Hao say before that Reiss might be going to Tide Prison to snatch people, you know? If they destroy the control room, there will be all sorts of people there. If they can just grab a few people and run away, how can they not escape?"

Neither side was convinced of the other's position, and both sides insisted that their own arguments were more convincing. In the end, seeing that they were evenly matched, they went directly to Deep Blue to ask for other opinions.

Deep Blue: They've really gotten bolder. Now they dare to be so loud and boisterous in front of me, their instructor. It seems I need to find some time to reinforce their discipline.

Just as Deep Blue was about to speak, Kami, who had been sitting next to him looking at his phone, received the latest firsthand information from Demulan and immediately said:

"Everyone, stop arguing. Reis has escaped again. Tide Prison is currently under control thanks to the guards and reinforcements who have arrived. We'll start counting heads once the warden gets there."

Upon hearing the news, Wei Long let out a roar and then looked proudly at Roy, who was looking on in astonishment.

"I already told you, what do you know? You've only clashed with this Reis a few times, and now you're starting to yell at him? Don't you know there's a saying in our area, 'A scourge lives on for a thousand years'?"

Chapter 824 Said: A Little Panicked

Seeing that Reis hadn't fallen at the Tide Prison, Zhang Hao informed Said of this news.

Just as Zhang Hao was about to make a move, Saeed called first.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao immediately answered the phone. Judging from the situation, Said had probably just received news about Reis.

After the call connected, Saeed's slightly hurried voice came through:

"Xiao Hao, my soldiers just told me they saw Reis leading several truckloads of men back to his Longbow Valley. Looks like he succeeded this time!"

Now that Reiss has made up for the population shortfall, Said couldn't help but worry about whether he should remain in a neutral position.

Zhang Hao also sensed the confusion in Saeed's tone. After closing his eyes and pondering the current situation for a moment, Zhang Hao said:

“Uncle Said, let’s analyze this. After Hudson ran into a wall with you, he went to Yousef, right? So, by the same token, Hudson will definitely offer similar or even more resources to negotiate with Yousef. Uncle Said, has there been anything strange about Yousef lately?”

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's question, Said immediately replied:

"Yes, Xiao Hao, as you know, back then, Youssef came directly to me, wanting me to go with him to take down Reiss, but at that time I refused on the grounds that I had elderly people and children on my side."

Upon hearing Said's words, Zhang Hao recalled that Said had approached him at Dam Zero earlier and told him that Yousef had already made some moves.

"Then... Uncle Said, if Reiss and Yousef were to fight now, who do you think would be the final winner?"

Faced with Zhang Hao's question, Sayed answered without hesitation:

"I think it's Youssef. Although his weapons and equipment are not as good as Reis's, who is now rich and powerful, I think Youssef is far superior to Reis in terms of morale building and tactical deployment."

After receiving this answer, Zhang Hao showed a thoughtful expression. It seems that Yousef's strength should not be underestimated. Even though Reis has brought so many people out of the Tide Prison, Uncle Said still believes that Yousef is stronger.

"But the problem now is whether Yousef will still fight him after learning that Reiss has been strengthened like this. This is an uncertain factor. After all... Uncle Said, as a variable in this matter, it's hard not to be wary of you."
