Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

However, when faced with such a tempting offer from Reis, Said remained calm, which made Reis's heart skip a beat.

Isn't Saeed's reaction a little off? Shouldn't he be excitedly agreeing to the cooperation request right now? Isn't what I'm giving him more than enough?

Reis: No? What exactly does this Said want? I've already given him the resources, but he didn't want them. Now I'm even willing to give him all that land to grow vegetables, and he still won't agree?

"Um... Brother Said, is there... something else you're worried about?"

Seeing that Said hadn't spoken for a long time, Reis couldn't help but ask.

As previously discussed, Said shook his head at Reis and said:

"Rhys, let me go back and think about it carefully. I didn't refuse this time, but I need to go back and have a meeting with my subordinates to discuss this matter. After all, this matter... involves quite a few things."

The moment Reis saw Said shake his head, he almost slammed his fist on the table and tried to force Said to accept his offer. After all, he had been so sincere, and if Said still wanted to refuse him, then he was looking down on Reis!

But the next second, after hearing that Said only planned to go back and discuss it with his men, Reis breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, his skill in restraint was becoming more and more profound, otherwise, things would have almost escalated into a fight.

"Haha, you're right, you're right. It's good that you go back and discuss this matter. But Brother Said, I still have to advise you. As the leader, your subordinates should all listen to you, instead of having to hold meetings every time, right?"

Reis also stated that as leaders, their subordinates should all listen to them; otherwise, wouldn't being a leader be too stifling?

And for this very reason, Reese always thought that Said was only suitable to be a second-in-command, since how could he give so much power to someone under his command?

Reese: He should be just like me, isn't he? I'm the perfect example of a leader, and this Said really doesn't know to learn from me.

After saying goodbye to Reis, Said led Abel out. Before leaving, Said suggested that he wanted to take a stroll around the Longbow Valley.

Reis said it was fine with him, and that he could have lunch with him if it got late, but Said politely declined with a smile, saying, "What's the point of eating here? This meal is probably more like a trap than a banquet at Hongmen."

While Said was strolling around, news of his trip to Longbow Valley to meet with Reis reached Yousef's ears.

Yusuf was calmly tallying up the equipment Hudson had secretly sent him, thinking about how to deal with Reis, who had just received another major buff.

In Yusef's eyes, Reiss's behavior was nothing more than grasping at straws in desperation. So what if he had taken so many people from Tide Prison?

Do you really expect these people who have been locked up in prison for so long to have the same physical strength and military skills as your own soldiers?

The fact that Reis is incapable of leading troops is now common knowledge throughout Asara. After all, apart from the guard he personally trained, which is somewhat capable, the rest of Reis's soldiers have always been left to their own devices.

This is why Youssef still wanted to fight Reiss even though he knew he was inferior to him in terms of weaponry.

After all, do you really believe that people who can't even drive a tank can blow up their own people? If they actually did that, it would truly be a fantasy.

In Youssef's view, as long as he acts quickly enough and doesn't give Reiss any chance to train or catch his breath, his chances of winning are still very high.

But just now, after hearing from his men that Said had gone to see Reis this morning, Youssef could no longer maintain the calm expression he had been wearing.

After all, Yusef never expected that Said would suddenly run over to Reis.

Just as Reiss had thought, Youssef had never considered what ambitions Said might have.

Chapter 828 Yusuf is starting to panic (2)

So when he heard that Said had gone to find Reis, Youssef felt a little flustered for a moment.

Yusef: Oh dear, this is bad! Said is such an honest man, we mustn't let him be led astray by Reis. Why would Said suddenly think of going to Reis first? And why did he specifically choose this time when Reis had just been strengthened?

"What's the situation now? Has Said left Reiss's place yet?"

After receiving news that Said was still in Longbow Valley, Yousef, who was always very suspicious, began to ponder the matter.

"Hiss~~~ Do you think it's possible that Reese actually extended the invitation to that idiot Said this time, just to put pressure on me here?"

Yusef also realized that although it was Said who took the initiative to go to Longbow Valley to find Reiss, it couldn't be ruled out that Reiss had invited Said there.

The purpose was to create the impression that the two of them would join forces to deal with him.

Thinking about this, Youssef raised the possibility of such an event to a new level, after all, in Youssef's view, this was indeed something that Reis was capable of doing.

Yusef: This Reiss claims to like direct confrontation, but so far he's used just as many underhanded tricks as he's used.

But just as Youssef was about to consider other possibilities, another soldier entered and reported to him:

“Chief Yusuf, a soldier from Dam Zero just came to our sentry tower and told us that the dam's leader, Lord Said, will be visiting you this afternoon. He asked us to inform you of this news first.”

These words completely shattered Yusuf's previous assumptions. Upon hearing that Said planned to come to see him in the afternoon, Yusuf, like Reis at breakfast, began to order his men to tidy up his place.

"This Said... he must be here to tell me about what happened this morning when Reiss called me to Longbow Valley, right?"

Even now, Youssef still believes that Said did not go to Reiss's place voluntarily.

After all, if Said really did choose to test the waters with both Reis and himself, Youssef really didn't know what kind of conditions he would have to offer to get Said to join him.

Youssef: The main reason is that I've always publicly declared that I'm liberating Asara. I'm not as shameless as that bastard Reis. I feel like Reis would probably agree to anything to win over Said.

Thinking about this, Youssef couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, although he believed in his heart that Said probably wouldn't care about the conditions proposed by Reis.

After all, even Yusuf could only acknowledge Said's determination to liberate Asara. However, Said was also one of the most stubborn people, otherwise the deal to recruit Said as his second-in-command would not have been delayed.

Said: I'm not being stubborn, but I've already sensed it. Yousef, you've strayed from the original intention you had when you founded the Assara Guard. Compared to Reis, you're just not as inhuman as Reis.

Unlike Yusuf, whose brain was still working frantically, Said and Abel were strolling around the more populated areas of Longbow Valley. Said shook his head as he looked at the Asara people who had just escaped from the Tide Prison yesterday and were now being forced to train on the battlefield.

“This is useless. People fight for freedom and hope, and now Reis is managing them like this, without any sense of cohesion.”

“In this respect, Reiss is not as good as Youssef. Most of Youssef’s soldiers are extremely loyal to him. In a real battle, this cohesion is crucial.”

Abel nodded in agreement and said:

"The people of Asara are already doing very well by not rebelling under such long-term oppression. As for the people of Reis, frankly speaking, they are only following Reis because at least they have food to eat and won't starve to death."

"If Reiss were defeated by someone, as long as the new leader improves their treatment even slightly, they would support the new leader even more."

"Let's go, let's go. We need to go to Youssef's place this afternoon. If Reis isn't there, we can bring Barton along. He's really good at negotiations and such."

After observing the situation and making a preliminary assessment of Reis's current strength, Said and Abel drove back to Dam Zero.

"I'm back!"

Upon returning, Said kicked Abel outside and ran back to his office to seek comfort from Sofia.

"Sophia! You have no idea how thrilling this trip was..."

Seeing Patton sitting outside, calmly contemplating how to reform the current system, Abel squeezed in.

“Hey, Barton, are we just going to keep watching Boss Said show off his love in front of us every day?! You know, at first Boss Said knew to tone it down a little, even when he was holding hands with Sister Sophia he was hiding it.”

"And now look what happened! They just kicked us out and went off to their own little love nest! Patton, can you really tolerate this?"

Barton, however, didn't even look up, still intently examining the dam's laws to see if there were any loopholes.

Seeing Barton's uninterested look, Abel decided to directly interfere. Barton, growing increasingly impatient with Abel's antics, could only sigh helplessly, put down his book, and look at Abel, saying:

"But isn't this what you've been waiting for? Besides, Boss Said and Sister Sophia have been through so much together before they finally got together. And can't you see? Of the two of them, Sister Sophia was the one who took the initiative!"

Chapter 829 Said: Changing Locations (1)

"You can't stand them showing affection in front of you now, but do you dare to tell Sofia about it?"

Upon hearing this, Abel, who had been looking displeased, immediately shrunk down and sat down, looking deflated.

Just kidding, where would I get the guts to say that to Sister Sofia? Even though Sister Sofia usually presents herself in a "gentle" mode in front of them.

But although she was "gentle" in front of them, this big sister was never hiding anything when she was disciplining the boss, Said!

Thinking of the screams that had come from Said's room before, Abel silently crushed his own courage.

Abel: What a joke! I feel like if I go in and break the couple's lovey-dovey atmosphere, Sofia could unleash a three-year simulation and give me a real attack the next second.

"Well... I think we should just forget about it. Boss Said has indeed been single for so long, so let him do whatever he wants."

Seeing Abel's obedient appearance, Barton sighed and continued reading. Even someone who always prided himself on being a strategist would only have one thought in his head when faced with those cultural textbooks: run!

So Barton had already figured out who the real power holders were in this dam: for major matters, it was Xiao Hao and Boss Said, while for minor matters, it was basically Sister Sofia who held absolute power.

Even if Boss Said had other ideas, he went back after being glared at by Boss Sofia.

"Oh, by the way, you know that Boss Said is going to see Yousef this afternoon!"

After a moment of unease, Abel quietly returned to normal and spoke to Barton.

Seeing this, Barton put down his book and pointed to himself with some surprise, indicating that it was indeed him.

And subsequently, Abel gave him an affirmative answer:

"It's okay, you know now anyway. This afternoon, the three of us will go see Yousef together. Reis is a simpleton, and Boss Said can handle him, but Yousef... you know what I mean!"

"But...aren't you taking anyone else with you?"

Upon hearing this, Abel raised an eyebrow, then looked at Barton and said quietly:

"Who else can we bring? Raven? Then we're really just going there to get our heads chopped off. Yusuf was looking for Raven the whole time. Besides Raven, the only other one left is that arrogant guy, Nameless, right?"

"Think about it, we're not going there to fight Yusef's group, okay? What can we do with this nameless guy? Are we going to let him go see if he can pick up a couple of girls from Yusef's side? This guy isn't even as good at talking as I am!"

Anonymous: Besides, I'll come to your room tonight and make you laugh. I'm a real academic genius, unlike you who wears a mask of pain when you're learning something.

After listening to the story, Barton realized that it was indeed true. One of the two people was unable to meet outsiders, and the other was practically mute. Taking him there would only allow them to mooch a meal.

Barton: Speaking of freeloading, instead of bringing Wuming over, we should just ask Lord Xiaohao to borrow Roy and Weilong. Those two could eat more resources.

After a while, Sayyid came out of the office and, seeing the two still chatting idly outside, simply picked them up, one in each hand.

"Alright, stop chatting, we should go now. Let's see if we can make it back for dinner tonight."

After checking the time, Sayed decided to strike while the iron was hot and go directly to Yousef to find out what was going on there.

The sooner this is finished, the sooner I can tell Xiaohao all this information, and it would be great if we could all get together and discuss it.

After all, given the current chaotic situation on Asara's side, everyone has a feeling that this situation is about to end. So, although Saeed is acting as if it has nothing to do with him, deep down he really hopes that Asara can be unified as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

Forced to work, Abel and Barton had no choice but to follow behind Said, and the three of them drove a small car to Yousef's territory.

Upon hearing that Yusuf had arrived with two of his men, Yusuf immediately went out to greet Said and the others.

"Said, you've come! Come in, come in and let's talk!"

After following Youssef into the room, Youssef saw Barton following behind Said and, for a moment, asked uncertainly:

"Um... I think I saw you before in Longbow Valley, right? Aren't you from Reis's side?"

When Said heard what Youssef said, he was stunned. Youssef had met Patton before.

As for Barton, after seeing that Youssef's gaze towards him had become wary again, he immediately explained why he was with Said.
