I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

"Shigure, are you sure?"

Inside the warden's office, Geheros and Shigure sat facing each other.

The latter leaned against the sofa, his white mask reflecting a bright luster under the light.

"I'm certain there's something in the sky watching us, most likely a satellite of one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council."

Upon hearing this, Geheros pondered for a moment before slowly shaking his head.

"It shouldn't be. Our prison doesn't get involved in outside affairs and has no dealings with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council."

"They don't need to launch a satellite specifically to monitor the tidal prison."

Shi Yu leaned forward slightly, her tone inquiring.

"So you mean...?"

"Hafk".

The two uttered those three words in unison, the coffee table separating them on either side, but their appearances were almost identical, creating an unusual symmetrical beauty.

Shiyu turned her gaze away and looked at the sea outside the window.

The storm had subsided, and Shigure toyed with the Tear of the Ocean in her hand, murmuring to herself...

"How about we pick Hafk next?"

A cool and indifferent voice echoed in the room. Geheros did not speak, but Shiyu knew his personality; silence was tacit consent to him.

However, given that he was once a high-ranking member of Hafk's faction and was taken in by them, he still had some sentimental attachment to them.

Shi Yu didn't pay attention to these details. She got up, walked to the window, and took out a crystal-clear diamond from her hand.

"I'm going out for a walk. I'll leave the Heart of Africa with you to prevent any ill-intentioned guys from attacking it."

He placed the Heart of Africa on the wooden desk and vanished into thin air before Geheros could speak further.

Geheros glanced sideways, his gaze passing through the heart of Africa and looking at the spot where Shigure had been standing.

Keep in mind that the main gate was locked, and there were almost no direct paths leading outside.

How did Yu get out then? He could no longer comprehend the terror the other person felt.

"It's getting stronger and stronger..."

After a moment of reflection, Geheros stepped forward, picked up the Heart of Africa, tossed it in the air, and suddenly laughed.

"Getting out of Hafk... I guess it's a blessing from prison."

Putting aside his African ambitions, Geheros turned and walked to the door, reopening the locked door and peeking out to speak to Song Lanfeng and the others who were waiting outside.

"You can come in now."

……

Dam No. 0, Manager's Office, East Wing of Administration Building.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"

A series of loud wheezing sounds emanated from inside, and the Asara soldiers guarding the outside kept glancing towards the doorway.

"What exactly is this Minister of Energy of Hafk doing? He doesn't seem serious at all."

"Let's not discuss that anymore. The boss is still inside negotiating with two ministers!"

Are you going to the military camp to work out again tonight?

"Oh baby, that's called bodybuilding."

The group chatted casually, but the topic quickly veered off course.

Inside the manager's office, Said, wearing a red mask, sat in an office chair with a hunter's cloak hanging down his neck.

Eagle-like eyes swept over the two people standing there.

These two were none other than Demulan and Hudson.

The latter was also riding a balance bike, swaying back and forth in the cramped space.

"Cough cough cough!"

"Stop coughing! Hold it in!"

Demulan couldn't take it anymore. The guy next to her had been coughing for seven hours straight, ever since they got on the helicopter.

"Is your throat made of iron? You cough so much!"

Seemingly not satisfied, Demulan pressed his advantage once again.

"Director Demulan, cough cough cough! It's me cough cough cough cough—it's my business, cough, it's none of your concern, cough cough you..."

"..." Su Ling looked at the three of them blankly, shrinking in the corner like a frightened puppy.

The cold touch of the wooden floor brought him back to his senses. The light shone on the three of them, and the oppressive aura unique to the Boss almost solidified into a tangible form!

These are the three major bosses of Delta Force! And now they've all appeared before him.

Besides Reese, the Warden, and Raven, there are three of the six bosses in Delta Force!

He swallowed carefully, a few drops of cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"You just want Dam Zero, right? I can give it to you."

After a long period of thought, Saeed finally spoke again.

He lacked the resolve to stand with Asara's soldiers until the very end, for defeat was undoubtedly their fate.

Saeed doesn't have the ability to take the lives of everyone in Assara to bolster his bravado, because he doesn't have the courage, much less the qualifications.

Upon hearing this, Hudson immediately stopped coughing, and even his tone softened.

"Haha, well..."

"But I have a condition." Said suddenly interrupted Hudson, who was about to express his dissatisfaction, but was suddenly stopped by a cough.

"Cough cough cough! You cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

Demulan glanced speechlessly at Hudson, who was frantically inhaling his asthma medication, before turning back to Sayed in front of him.

The latter placed his hands on the armrests of the chair and slowly stated his conditions.

"First, Asara's soldiers can obey Hafk's orders, but if it's a mission that uses us as cannon fodder... then I'm afraid I can't obey!"

"Okay." Demulan nodded, and then kicked Hudson, who was riding a hoverboard in front of him, aside.

"Second." Said held up two fingers, his eyes lowered beneath the mask.

"No action shall be taken against the ordinary inhabitants of Asara, and all forms of corvée labor and taxes shall be refused."

"No." Hudson finally finished coughing and took the time to refuse Said without hesitation.

"You're too idealistic, Captain of the Guard."

"We, the Hafk, are not here to negotiate with you, but His Excellency Jacob is compassionate and will not use you as cannon fodder."

"But don't push your luck. Keep bringing it up, and as long as it's reasonable, I'll consider it."

This strong statement effectively silenced most of Sayyid's subsequent remarks.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Okay...but in moderation."

Whether it's appropriate or not is up to us to decide; it's none of your business.

Upon hearing this, Sayed remained silent for a short while before letting out a heavy sigh.

"Ugh."

He knew that from this point on, Asara's chances of survival were slim.

Verbal promises from the other party are not necessarily valid; what constitutes cannon fodder and what does not are also up to the other party to decide.

At this moment, Saeed was completely on the defensive.

Because this negotiation was a one-sided act of aggression from the very beginning.

"Hafk has given Asara a lot of time to consider; don't let the waiting become a regret."

Hudson stepped off the Segway and looked down at the captain of the guard. The next second, another coughing fit rang out from the manager's office.

"Cough cough cough! Ugh~"
