Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

But while Hamk and his group were still thinking about finding Asara's old king and prince, Reis had already begun planning how to replace him and become Asara's new king.

In addition to the feudal management system of the old King Asara, the Asara Guard, headed by Yousef, could not continue to operate under this system. Now, through the connection with Said, Yousef has begun to understand how advanced China's people-centered development philosophy is.

Yusuf stared in disbelief as Said, who was supposed to be illiterate, spoke eloquently about the situation in Asara. He even doubted whether the Said in front of him was a fake until he couldn't help but exchange a few blows with him and ended up lying on the ground, confirming that this guy was indeed Said.

Yusef was also very curious about Said, the newly recruited strategist. He had thought of asking Said to introduce him, but Said flatly refused, saying, "Go find him yourself if you want. This one is mine," before riding his ATV back home.

Yusuf: You cheapskate, wait, I'll go find one too!

Chapter 170 for me?

Amiya Town.

Reis, looking rather dejected, checked into the most luxurious room in the town, but it was still quite different from his king-size bed. However, Reis wasn't worried about that right now.

"Hiss~ Oh dear, could it be that idiot Hamk who bombed me? Damn, that idiot has quite a criminal record. Back then, even that old woman Demulan suffered at his hands and almost lost her life."

Reis has no way of knowing which faction was responsible for the explosion. If it was Hafk or GTI, he could just hand it over to Said to help his older brother take the blame. But what if it was Youssef or Hamk?

Yusuf: Damn it, who do you think you are? I don't respect this kind of thing. I will rely on the unity of the Asara people to defeat this damned Hafk in a fair and square way.

"Sigh, I don't have much time left. Damn it, I shouldn't have made that deal with that slut Audrey. No way, next time I have to raise the price, otherwise I'll lose out too much."

However, his current combat strength is only enough to barely defeat a newbie like Hamk (who doesn't even know he has a tank). If Said suddenly turns against him now, he'll have to consider whether he should run away.

"Never mind, I can't hold onto this Mandel brick anymore, I might as well just give it to Saeed."

Reis gritted his teeth, looking at the hot potato in his hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but after thinking about his current situation, he decided to throw this "bomb" to his "good brother" Said.

Reis picked up his phone, located Said, and after pondering for nearly two minutes, dialed the number.

"Hey? Brother Reese, what's up now? Are you looking to borrow some resources? Sorry, buddy, I'm broke right now. I'm even farming myself to supplement my income."

As soon as the call connected, Said started complaining about being broke to Reis, which made Reis's already dark face turn even darker. However, thinking that he would need to ask for help later, he forced himself to hold back.

"Haha, Saeed, you've become quite humorous now. I'm not so bad as to need to borrow money from you. I have plenty of money."

Upon hearing what Reis said, Said first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to speculate about why Reis had come to him this time.

"Oh, I see. So, what do you need my help with?"

Seeing that Said had responded, Reis didn't bother with beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"It's like this, Brother Said. Didn't I steal the Mandel Brick from Hafk before? Now I've just been through an explosion and I'm short-handed. That makes it easy for someone else to steal the Mandel Brick, right? Think about it, there's still Hafk lurking in the shadows who hasn't shown up yet."

"so..........."

"Oh dear, so now I need you to help me guard this Mandel Brick for a while, okay? You see, I can't possibly give this Mandel Brick back to Hafk, can I? You know, I really went all out to weaken Hafk's power."

"Huh? You're leaving it to me? The problem is, Rhys, are you sure I can keep it safe?"

Said never expected that Reis would actually consider handing over the management of the Mandel Brick to him. Even the usually honest and simple Said could smell a "conspiracy".

"Don't worry, Said, I'll take it back after I've settled things in Longbow Valley. Just do me this favor!"

What Reese didn't expect was that Said had been on speakerphone the whole time, listening along with Sofia. Said looked up at Sofia with a questioning gaze. With Xiao Hao not around, Said was unsure of what to do.

However, Sofia did nod to Said, indicating that she could take the Mandel brick first, since she would be fine if something went wrong and she lost it too.

So, with Reis waiting anxiously, Sayed agreed to take the Mandel brick over to help "keep it safe."

Having heard that Hamk might be up to something, Sayyid kindly offered a word of advice:

"Reis, you also need to be careful of Hamk. I heard he used to work with the Hafk Group. Damn it, that bastard has completely betrayed Asara. That traitor! The Hafk Group seems to have provided him with a pretty good high-tech tank. Be careful."

Reis: Working with...and the Hafk Group? ⊙﹏⊙∥

"Ah.............Okay, okay, thanks! I'll personally deliver this Mandel brick to you tomorrow, no, this afternoon. I really owe you a lot this time, brother!"

Reis nervously wiped his sweat and said, "Working with Hafk, I seem to be..."

But then I thought, wait a minute, I only have a collaboration with Audrey, this shouldn't be a collaboration with Hafk, right?

That's right, this is definitely not a collaboration with Hafk, otherwise they wouldn't have been suppressed to this extent.

After hanging up the phone, Reiss summoned several guards and ordered them to lay a row of landmines on some main roads in case someone took advantage of his current weakness to attack him from behind.

"Add a few anti-tank mines inside, you know? I remember we didn't use them all last time. Also, starting tomorrow, Longbow Valley will be completely closed at all entrances and exits. We'll talk about it again once things are back to normal."

After making these arrangements, Reis felt a little more at ease. After checking the time, Reis decided to take one last nap with Mandel Brick before handing him over to Said. Although he was reluctant to part with him, it seemed that keeping him in his hands now was of no use, and he was also likely to attract the attention of others.

Thinking of this, Reese once again silently cursed Audrey, that irresponsible and wicked woman, in his heart.

Meanwhile, Saidna also informed Zhang Hao that Reis was planning to send the Mandel bricks to him.

The Secret Service staff were shocked.

"Look, look! Didn't I say before that maybe one day Said would get his hands on the Mandel Brick himself? See? That's what a prophet looks like!"

Roy was smugly wiggling his butt, while Deep Blue and Zoya fell silent.

Deep Blue: Uh... it's that simple?

Zoya: Tsk, I didn't expect Reese to be such a coward, just throwing the blame onto Said.

Chapter 171 Waaaaah, He Scolded Me (Burst Update)

(Thanks to Cangxuan from the Yangtze River Delta for the generous update!)

"Well... what do we say now? It's not that I'm shameless, but I think it's not a good thing for Mandel Brick to be in Said's hands right now. You know, all the forces in Asara are eyeing this juicy piece of meat right now."

Roy honestly raised his hand to speak, and his statement received some approval.

“I think Roy is right. Although Said’s forces are indeed quite strong now, they are still no match for Hafk. I guess Reis is scared after being bombed like this once. You know, he is already weak. If he still tries to protect this Mandel Brick, it would be suicide. He knows this, which is why he thought of throwing this Mandel Brick to Said to help him share the firepower.”

Wei Long also gave a "professional" speech, which garnered even more support.

"So, Old Deng, what are you thinking?"

Zoya actually thought it was better not to get involved in this mess, but seeing that everyone else had said so, she turned to ask Deep Blue for his opinion. Deep Blue had indeed been exposed to this matter much more than they had.

"Let's see what Hafk does first. If it doesn't work, let's pass it on to the higher-ups to handle."

Zoya realized that her teacher no longer cared about such trivial matters. He always prioritized the safety of those around him, and if something was difficult, he would simply pass it on to those incompetent higher-ups to deal with. It seemed that his former sharpness had been taken away with age.

“Wylon is right. Reis is probably afraid that Hafk or other forces will take advantage of this time to launch an attack on his hometown. But you should know that Said’s information is only a few pages long in the Hafk Group.”

"Does that mean the Hafk Group won't take immediate action even if they know the Mandel bricks are in Said's hands?"

Zhang Hao asked curiously. He had witnessed the development of Dam Zero. He could only say that now, if Said didn't care about the economy, just looking at its military strength, weapons, food and other resources, it was already close to catching up with Reis, who was the king of Longbow Valley.

“That’s right. I know Demulan quite well. She’s very cautious. She wouldn’t attack Said’s Zero Dam without doing any investigation. This back-and-forth would buy her a lot of time.”

"Damn, this is something Reese could have come up with. I didn't think he was very smart before!"

Wei Long found it unbelievable; could that brute-force chimpanzee really have such a brain?

Reis: I'll say it again, I'm educated, I'm a college student, okay?

"Xiao Hao, tell Said to send someone to see what Hafk might do, and also to be wary of any other forces making moves. If they can't hold out, we'll immediately get involved and muddy the waters. Of course, the Mandel bricks will be our reward."

Shenlan also said to Zhang Hao that although he did not like Said, Said was very good to Xiao Hao, and if Xiao Hao wanted Asara to be free from the war, then Said was an indispensable part.

Zhang Hao also took out his phone and called Saiyid, repeating what Shenlan had said to Saiyid.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Xiao Hao. I, Said, won't act recklessly. Besides, we're not talking about any reward. If you want it, I'll send it to you as soon as I get it."

Reis: Waaah, Mandel, I'm about to lose you, I'm so unwilling, but don't worry, Said will treat you well. That idiot is so stubborn, as long as you tell him that protecting you will keep Hafk in check, he'll definitely treat you well.

Saeed: Oh, it's here. Hehehe, I'll give it to Xiao Hao.

While Zhang Hao and Said were on the phone, Shen Lan silently came up behind Zhang Hao and secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. After hearing Said's "yellow-haired" remarks, Shen Lan took the phone from Zhang Hao's hand with a dark expression.

“Said, I am xxxxxxxxx.”

Roy, who was watching the drama unfold, cautiously nudged Zoya and said:

"Holy crap, was Shen Lan like this before? I never expected him to be so different."

Zoya smiled dismissively. "What a joke," she thought. "Like teacher, like student. She's already in this state; how much better could Shenlan have been when he was young? It just goes to show how powerful the years are."

So Mai Xiaowen picked up Zhang Hao, Luna brought out some sunflower seeds, and everyone started watching a textbook-perfect verbal battle.

Due to the vast difference in their knowledge levels, Said quickly found himself at a disadvantage. After wiping away non-existent sweat, he looked pleadingly at Sophia beside him.

Sofia is almost considering switching sides because of Said. What kind of leader is he? It seems like she can't beat him, otherwise she would have already ridden her motorcycle to the meeting place. But now she can't even win an argument with him.

"Don't look at me, I don't know how to swear either. Besides, you're not wronged to be scolded. It's your fault for not paying attention in class. Look, you can't even handle the swearing from the other side."

Saeed: Waaaaah. ???

"Boss! Let me do it!"

At this moment, Abel volunteered, and Said almost cried with emotion. Women can't be relied on, you have to rely on your brothers!

"It's up to you, Abel."

With a serious expression, Said handed the phone to Abel, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "As expected of a soldier from our dam, being both literate and skilled in martial arts is our hallmark."

2 minute later.

"Waaaaah, boss, I can't win the argument, this person's words are so awful."

Said and Sofia stared blankly as the huge Abel ran out crying, leaving only the cell phone there, constantly emitting Deep Blue's voice.

"Wow! That was amazing, absolutely amazing! I think I'm good again now. Zoya, just you wait, next time I... I'll definitely always support you."

Roy was about to jump out and cause trouble, but after looking at the "pitted" baseball bat that Zoya was carrying on her shoulder, Roy decided to go with the flow. A good man doesn't fight with a woman, hmph!

"Nuo Xiaohao, he chatted briefly with Said and then hung up. That's how the matter is settled. I'll also share some information with the higher-ups later, but I won't say it directly. They also won't let us continue to harass Reis for now."

"Oh, oh, oh! Holiday! Holiday!"

Roy and Veelong, the two goofballs, also started celebrating with their arms around each other's shoulders, unaware that Zoya, whose eyes were already glowing red, had raised her baseball bat behind them.

"Shut up! Let me rest in peace!"

Chapter 172 Acquired

“Said, you must take good care of it. I went through a lot of trouble to snatch it back from Hafk.”

Said stared speechlessly at Reis, who was sobbing in front of him. Reis had been coming to him with the Mandel brick since the afternoon and had been crying ever since.
