Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Hearing that Youssef was using this incident to manipulate him again, Said nodded without changing his expression, and then led Barton and Abel out.
Watching the car drive away from downstairs, Youssef suddenly felt a pang of anxiety for some reason, but he ultimately attributed this to the influence of that despicable Reis.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"How was it? When I went in earlier, you seemed to be having a very smooth conversation with Yousef."
On the way back, Sayed asked Barton, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, whether he was too nervous when he was alone with Youssef.
"It's alright. After all, we have the initiative this time. Even if I'm panicking inside, I can't show it. In Yusuf's shrewd eyes, that would make us easy to manipulate."
Upon hearing Barton's words, Sayyid and Abel both gave Barton a thumbs up.
"We've pretty much finished discussing this matter. Although I know that Yousef definitely won't tell us the truth, I've written down the general situation here. When we ask Master Xiaohao to come here and do some calculations, it shouldn't be too far off."
After Barton finished speaking, he also looked at Said:
“Boss Said, from what I can see now, it seems that Youssef’s willingness to cooperate with us is not as high as we had anticipated. During our conversation, I felt that Youssef seemed indifferent as long as it wasn’t a collaboration between us and Reis.”
"That's natural. As I said before, although Reis has people now, most of them are people who haven't even had formal training. You could say it's a makeshift team."
After listening to Said's phone call, Barton nodded in agreement. What Said said was absolutely true. Back when he was still a strategist in Longbow Valley, this Reese was too lazy to personally train troops. He spent his days writing music, singing songs, and drinking a little wine in his office.
Later, he couldn't stand it anymore and took on the responsibility of training the troops again. However, since he didn't have much experience, the results were... less than satisfactory.
"But we can't underestimate the danger level of this Reis either. After all, this guy has always seemed unreliable, but he always manages to do something surprising."
Said wasn't really unafraid of Reiss; this guy had already demonstrated his extraordinary vitality. So he was going to call Xiao Hao over later to ensure that Reiss was killed this time, in order to prevent any major disaster from happening later.
Saeed: Damn, that's how it's written in the movie, so this time I absolutely can't make the same mistake that Demulan made countless times before.
Chapter 833 Going Back to Discuss (2)
After returning to Dam Zero, Said took the notebook that Barton handed him. After opening it and looking at the contents Barton had recorded, Said understood why Yousef was so confident that he could deal with Reis.
According to Barton's records, Youssef also obtained a batch of supplies, which corresponds to the cooperation between Youssef and Hudson that Xiao Hao mentioned earlier.
"Barton, did you ask Yusef back then which organization he was cooperating with?"
After shaking his head, Patton also said:
"I asked him at the time, but Yusef refused to say who it was. He just said that it was an organization that helped them deal with Reis. He probably didn't know that Hudson had actually contacted us before he contacted him."
Said couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This Yousef was really following in Reiss's footsteps. Back then, Reiss refused to reveal what organization was behind him, even though Said sincerely said he would never tell anyone.
But Reis's attitude was quite firm. He told me not to ask so many questions and that I should talk to him after he finished dealing with Youssef.
"These two are essentially the same. Alright, alright, it's time to have Xiao Hao come here for a meeting. We're really close to the final battle now. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly."
Sayed also took out his phone and called Zhang Hao. After briefly explaining what he had gained that day, Sayed and Zhang Hao agreed to discuss it in detail the next morning.
Meanwhile, at the Special Operations Unit, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao showed a rare look of worry. Seeing this, Mai Xiaowen came over, grabbed Zhang Hao's cheek, and gave it a good rub before asking him:
"What's wrong, Xiao Hao? You look so unhappy. Did you hear some bad news from Said?"
After hearing this, Zhang Hao quickly shook his head and said that he was worried about what would happen if he made a wrong decision and the final result was not ideal.
"It's okay, Xiao Hao. There's really no need for you to worry so much. You've always been very confident, haven't you? All you need to do now is continue to be confident. Look, everyone recognizes your abilities now. You just need to do what you were thinking and do it to your heart's content."
While comforting them, Mai Xiaowen began to look for Weilong and Luo Yi out of the corner of her eye.
There was no way around it; after all, she hadn't comforted anyone in a long time. If she were asked to tease Xiao Hao until he blushed, Mai Xiaowen said she could do it easily.
But if you were to comfort yourself now, honestly, Mai Xiaowen knows that she might not be as good as Weilong and Luo Yi in this aspect.
There were several times before when Xiaohao was in a bad mood, and all I could do was stay by his side, hoping that keeping him company would help him feel a little better.
But when Luo Yi saw Xiao Hao looking like that, he came over and chatted with Xiao Hao for a few minutes. Mai Xiaowen noticed that Xiao Hao's mood improved significantly.
Mai Xiaowen: Hmph, this must be because Luo Yi secretly learned some things about psychological counseling. Otherwise, how could Xiao Hao get better so easily? You're making me, your good older sister, seem useless.
But seeing Xiao Hao like this, Mai Xiaowen couldn't care less about anything else. Her primary goal now was to find those two guys and help Xiao Hao recover.
At the same time, Mai Xiaowen also expressed her understanding, after all, the burden on Xiao Hao's shoulders is too heavy now. It can be said that the fate of the entire No. 0 Dam is now directly on his shoulders.
After spotting Luo Yi, who seemed to have noticed something amiss, out of the corner of her eye, Mai Xiaowen gestured in her direction. Luo Yi, looking curious, approached her.
"Hey hey hey, what's wrong with our Xiao Hao? Getting emo again? No, Xiao Hao, it's not even 12 o'clock yet. Have you evolved to the point where you can be emo anytime, anywhere? Looks like you want to compete with Roy for who is the most melancholic person in the Special Operations Department?"
After seeing Luo Yi's cheeky expression, Zhang Hao revealed his worries, saying that he was under a lot of pressure. Luo Yi immediately understood what had happened, waved to Mai Xiaowen to give him a seat, and then plopped down next to Zhang Hao, hooking his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulder.
Mai Xiaowen: Damn it............Roy, you better make Xiaohao happy, or I'll show you what the power of the third-ranked female mixed martial arts fighter is.
"Hey friend, what are you worrying about?! Xiao Hao, let me tell you, you don't need to be afraid at all. You have to think about it, the reason you brought this Said along was to carry out a sneak attack!"
"I won't talk about anything else for now. We've already launched a sneak attack, so the odds of winning are naturally going to be higher. Since you're still worried, let me tell you, although we can't directly help you take action, don't you still have your good buddy [Zero]?"
"If you still think it's not enough after adding this [zero], let me think... Claire hasn't officially started working yet, right? Let's count her too. What are you afraid of? I'm telling you, Xiao Hao, you'll find out that all of this has actually been under your control all along!"
Mai Xiaowen watched blankly as Xiao Hao, who had been somewhat depressed, gradually brightened up under Luo Yi's persuasive words.
“I understand, Roy, you’re right. I can still call for backup. And right now, Uncle Said hasn’t made his stance on either of those two yet, so there’s still room for maneuver.”
As Zhang Hao spoke, he stood up, greeted Roy and the others, and then ran straight upstairs to his room. He planned to bring Zero with him tomorrow so they could go to Said's place together.
Chapter 834 On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
The next day, when Sayid saw that it was about time, he got up and went to the entrance of Dam Zero to wait for Xiao Hao's arrival.
A short while later, Said heard the sound of an engine coming from afar, and then the next moment, Zhang Hao, riding an all-terrain vehicle and carrying [Zero], also drove towards him.
Said: Two...two Xiaohao? No, then the expressionless one in the back should be the [Zero] that Xiaohao mentioned before. I didn't expect Xiaohao to bring him along this time.
"Good morning, Uncle Saeed. You've come all this way to wait for us."
After seeing Said, Zhang Hao parked the car steadily in front of Said and then formally introduced [Zero] to Said.
"Let's go, Uncle Said. Go check the intelligence you gathered yesterday. With my help and Zero's help, we'll definitely succeed this time."
Looking at Zhang Hao's confident face, Said couldn't help but be infected by his confidence. Although he hadn't been too flustered before, his confidence had been brought out now.
After arriving at the administration building with Zero, Abel and the others, who were already waiting there, were initially shocked by Zero following behind Zhang Hao, but they all took their seats and began the meeting.
"Come on, Xiao Hao, this is the strength of Reis and Yousef that we gathered yesterday. If we don't rule out the possibility that both of them are hiding something from me, I personally think that Yousef has a better chance of winning."
As Zhang Hao flipped through the documents Sayd handed him and listened to Sayd's explanation, he gained a deeper understanding of the relative strengths of the two.
"Looking at it this way, I actually feel that Uncle Said, you could do this..."
In response to this situation, Zhang Hao devised a plan and Saeed immediately agreed to make arrangements.
"Leave the most difficult parts to me when the time comes."
At this moment, Zero, who had been sitting silently beside Zhang Hao, suddenly uttered this remark.
After hearing Zero's words, Zhang Hao patted him on the shoulder, indicating that Zero would be there for him.
Zhang Hao: Although on paper, Youssef is indeed stronger, but... I still feel that Reiss has the potential to pull off something big.
"Don't worry, this time I have the Roar of the Flame Demon, this Reis is doomed. And judging from the situation recently, I feel that the United States behind him seems to be giving up on Reis."
Considering that Reis's current actions seem like a last-ditch effort to save himself, Zhang Hao speculated that the United States was probably losing patience with Reis and was planning to withdraw its investment.
After the meeting, Said took out his phone and called Reis. The call was answered after a few rings, and Reis's expectant voice came through:
"Brother Said, so what do you mean? Have you decided to team up with me and give that Yousef a good beating?"
Upon hearing this, Sayyid first composed himself, then spoke in an extremely helpless tone:
"Sigh, Reis, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that too many people have chosen to remain inactive this time. But don't worry, I've come to bring you some good news."
These words forcibly pulled Reis back from smashing the glass in his hand, and he then asked curiously:
"What good news is it? Tell me about it first!"
Seeing that Reis had taken the bait, Said took a prepared piece of paper and began to read it aloud.
The document on this piece of paper contained the information they had chosen to share with Reis regarding Yousef's side during their previous meeting.
“Reis, I know your determination, but as the leader of the dam, I must prioritize the will of so many of us. I specifically went to ask Yusef about his intelligence and weaknesses yesterday. I wish you success.”
Under Said's mindless, unscrupulous praise and manipulation, Reese's initial skepticism towards Said turned into gratitude.
Reis: Waaah, this is what bonds are all about! Even though he can't directly come to support me, he still went to Yusuf's place to get information about him for my sake. Damn, I'm so touched!
After hanging up the phone, Reese looked at the document that Said had sent him and began to focus on the few points that were highlighted on the paper.
After successfully finishing his call with Reis, Sayed immediately called Yousef. After the call connected, Sayed used a similar script, but his tone and attitude were more formal.
After all, if I showed any significant emotional fluctuations in front of Youssef, he would probably immediately suspect that I was up to something bad.
Saeed: Hehe, although I certainly didn't have any good intentions.
“I understand. Don’t worry, Said. Once I’ve dealt with Reis and completely freed Asara, you’ll be the captain of our Asara Guard.”
After listening to what Yusef had to say, Said couldn't help but roll his eyes. This Yusef was really something else. He was planning to become emperor, and then he was going to give up his current position to him, was he? Did he really think he was his top henchman?
After exchanging a few polite words, Sayyid hung up the phone and returned to his office, giving Zhang Hao an OK sign.
"Yes, it should be in the next few days. After receiving this news, both sides will probably take action soon. Uncle Said, we should start preparing as well."
Said patted his chest with pride, indicating that he had been preparing for this for a long time. He said that all the weapons and equipment on his side, as well as the vehicles that had been parked in the warehouse on the dam, had undergone a complete troubleshooting.
"So next... it's time for Asara's final battle."
Chapter 835 Asara's Decisive Battle (1)
After Zhang Hao had spent two relatively quiet days in Asara, on this day, Said received calls from both Reis and Youssef.
During the phone calls, although the stories differed, they all mentioned that they couldn't wait any longer to let Said stay quietly at Dam Zero.
On the phone, Reis spoke confidently to Said, saying that after he took down Yusuf's head, he would hand over the entire Ouroboros district to Said, and also planned to directly appoint him as the head of Asara's agricultural bureau.
During the phone call, Yousef repeatedly emphasized to Saeed that Saeed should not participate in this operation.
Although he claimed to be worried about the safety of Said and his men, how could Said not know what Yousef was thinking?
Said: The main problem is that I've been playing the fool in front of him for so long, but Yusuf is still so wary of me.
After receiving this news, Zhang Hao began to give instructions, ordering everyone else to get ready.
