What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Chapter 263 Negotiation

Before long, anger led Reese and Hamke to the manager's office in the east building.

"Alright, Hamk and Reis are here. You guys go and get ready," Zhao Yu said to his adjutant and the captains of the chief's guard.

"Yes, sir!" ×N.

Yanlong was the first to push open the door to the East Building manager's office and walk out, followed by the other cadres. However, when Huoyu walked out, he was recognized by Hamk.

"You are—Sazak Hariri, how is it you?" Hamk looked at "Fire Rain" with extreme surprise.

Hamk once served as a loyal hound of the former King Asara and frequented the palace, while Fire Rain was once a devoted follower of the Raven Prince, and the two had a period of interaction as a result.

"Why can't it be me?" "Fire Rain" Sazak Hariri looked at Hamk, recognizing this "old friend" he had met several times before.

"You—you disappeared after that incident back then. I thought you were dead. How did you end up under Said's command?"

"Aren't you going to find the Raven Prince?" Hamk asked, looking at the "fire rain" before him.

He knew very well how loyal this "old friend" was to the Raven Prince.

Similarly, he was even more aware of his opponent's abilities; his opponent was a renowned sharpshooter.

"The prince I once followed is dead. The one who is alive now is nothing but a madman in his body."

"And what I must do, what I can do, is to follow Commander Said and avenge that gentle prince who once stole roses from his own estate to give to the people." Huo Yu's words were unwavering.

Who is Raven?

He didn't recognize him; he was now one of Commander Sayyid's men!

"Don't mention that madman Raven in front of me again. Commander Said is magnanimous, but I'm afraid the other brothers will misunderstand." Fire Rain's words left Hamk speechless and dumbfounded.

In the end, Hamk fell silent, standing there motionless. He neither pushed open the door to the manager's office in the east building nor went to greet "Fire Rain." He just stood there blankly.

He only snapped out of his daze when Reis called to him, and together they walked into the manager's office in the east building.

Zhao Yu was behind his desk, while Hamk sat on the sofa in front of it.

Reis looked around and, finding that Asara's special guards were no longer watching with guns at them, sat down next to Hamk.

"Hey, I mean Said." Hamk looked at "Said" sitting in the chair behind the desk and greeted him.

"Hamke, you traitorous dog, how dare you come back and even set foot on my territory? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Zhao Yu said sternly, looking at Hamke in front of him.

"Hmph, Saeed, if we're talking about selling out one's country for personal gain, in the current Asara, I, Hamk, might not even be ranked among the top."

"Leaving aside anything else, I think these four words suit you perfectly!" Upon hearing this, Hamk could no longer suppress his anger and jealousy and launched a personal attack on "Said" in front of him.

"You accuse me of betraying my country for personal gain?"

That's utterly absurd! I think you've gone completely mad.

It was I who guarded Dam Zero against Hafk's invasion, and it was I who personally led troops to Longbow Valley to repel Demurran and Gherros, ensuring peace in the region.

Back then, you were still working as a dog for Demulan and Hudson! Zhao Yu didn't have the habit of not talking back when he was being insulted.

"You're just saying nice things, Saeed. Why don't you tell us how you betrayed Asara to GTI?" Hamk suddenly changed the subject, shifting the blame to GTI.

"If you hadn't made some secret deal with GTI, would those hypocritical guys have given you so much weaponry, armored forces, and even mobilized a large number of troops to be stationed around the dam to help you defend it?"

"Said, did you betray Asara to GTI?" Hamk preemptively asked, attempting to seize the moral high ground.

"snort!

"Everything looks dirty to people with heart conditions. I'm too lazy to reason with you; you don't deserve to listen!" Zhao Yu scoffed at Hamke, whose eyes were already burning with jealousy.

"Didn't you say you had a big business deal you wanted to do with me?"

"If you want to do it, just say so; if you don't, get lost!" Zhao Yu said irritably.

"Hmph, Said, I've seen through you. All you talk about are principles, but all you care about is business." With the word "business" in mind, Hamk suppressed his displeasure and began negotiations.

After all, the gold and dark star fuel units on that cargo ship were real. If they could get their hands on them, their future would be bright!

"Are you going to tell me or not?!" Zhao Yu had completely lost patience with Hamk.

However, observing Hamk's reaction, Zhao Yu now felt that Hamk was not sent by Hudson to ambush him.

"I'll check the short video platforms later to see if the agents have gathered any useful information or intelligence," Zhao Yu thought to himself.

"Hmph, I deliberately withheld some important information. Don't blame me when the losses are heavy. You brought this on yourself!"

"We need to take this opportunity to curb Said's arrogance, otherwise the next steps of our plan and cooperation will be impossible to carry out," Hamk thought to himself, seething with determination.

It's impossible for Hamk to harbor ill will towards Said just because of a few harsh words. In the original storyline, when Said had already pointed his crossbow at Hamk and wanted to kill him, Hamk still stood up to speak for Said.

He even pointed his gun at Reis, who was protecting him, for Saeed's sake, causing chaos in the three-way meeting and paying homage to a certain classic film.

However, this does not mean that Hamk and Said had a good relationship. Hamk helped Said, in a sense, for his own benefit and beliefs.

However, everything changed when Zhao Yu logged into Operation Asara, took over Dam Zero, and took on the role of Sayyid.

The current Saeed is too strong and has too high a reputation, which is unacceptable to Hamk.

Because deep down, Hamk also genuinely believed that Said was a mirror to him.

Both were devoted to Asara. Hamk initially had everything, while Said had nothing. Hamk was a staunch supporter of the former king, while Said was a rebel.

If Saeed succeeds and Hamk fails, doesn't that mean that everything Hamk did before, including colluding with Hafk, all the humiliation he thought he endured, and all the self-indulgent sacrifices he made for Asara, were wrong?

This would be tantamount to negating his entire life, something that a powerful figure like him, now in a slump, could neither accept nor acknowledge.
