Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Claire, seeing the three people's eyes growing brighter, didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only take out her phone to ease the awkward situation.

Claire: I need to finish watching this and go back soon. These people seem a bit strange. If I keep being interrogated like this, I won't have any secrets left.

Seemingly noticing Claire's awkward situation, Rometheus, unusually displaying his emotional intelligence, gave the other two a meaningful look, indicating that they should stop short of causing trouble. If they scared her away, there wouldn't be any fun later.

Zhang Hao and Ella nodded quietly in agreement and went back to doing their own thing.

Seeing the three of them quiet down, Claire breathed a sigh of relief. She had been the one who talked more when she was with Luna, but here, she felt like a greenhorn.

"Alright, everyone, you can come and eat now!"

Before long, "Chef" Zhang Hao brought out the dishes one by one. As soon as the dishes were on the table, they began to fill the surroundings with an enticing aroma, making Claire's eyes widen with envy as she smelled the aroma for the first time.

"Xiao Hao, did you make all of this? You're amazing! It smells so good!"

Zhang Hao scratched his head modestly. It seems that the skills of this high-level gourmet are really useful. Everyone who sees them will have to give him a thumbs up.

Without further ado, the group focused on attacking the food on the table.

"Oh, I'm full. Hey Miss Claire, are you sure you can finish reading all these files today? If not, maybe you shouldn't go back. You can squeeze in with Ella."

Rometheus glanced at the mountain of documents and extended an invitation to Claire to stay the night.

Rometheus: Hehehe, as long as you stay, I really don't believe I can't dig up all your little secrets. I'm going to have this gossip, and once I say it, no one can stop me. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

Chapter 232 Diamond Queen Hotel (New Appearance)

(I'm done writing. The boss gave me a bonus chapter, so I'll do another one tomorrow! I can't write anymore today.)

Just when everyone thought that the Asara region would be stable in the near future, Longbow Valley, controlled by Reis...

At this moment, Reese was staring blankly at the Diamond Queen Hotel, which had been rebuilt and renovated. How many days had passed? He had said that the upgrade would take about half a month, but it seemed that it hadn't even been a week yet.

"Lord Reis, your Diamond Queen Hotel is now complete. Let me show you all the upgrades inside."

A middle-aged Chinese man approached Reese and led the speechless Reese inside to tour his brand-new Diamond Queen Hotel.

"Lord Reis, we have reinforced the entire exterior of the hotel. Bombs like the one before can only destroy the walls; the load-bearing columns inside will not be affected."

Reis first followed the middle-aged man for a walk around outside. Looking at the increasingly luxurious exterior, Reis nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. Only such a luxurious house is worthy of his status as the new King of Asara.

Looking at this magnificent hotel, Reis could imagine how surprised Saeed and Yousef would be if they came to visit... especially Saeed, that country bumpkin who had never seen much of the world.

"Mr. Reis, look, we've also installed the latest US-developed aircraft cannons and large-caliber missile launchers on the guard post outside. Now, if we detect enemy missiles being launched here in advance, we can intercept them in time and greatly protect this place."

Seeing this, Reis hurriedly went forward to take a look. He even used a missile launcher to fire a shot at the hillside not far away. Seeing that the hillside was flattened by the shot, Reis was excited. He wanted to see if anyone would dare to provoke him again. He would just blast them to smithereens.

"Haha, good, good, your cooking skills are amazing! Come on, come on, I'm really curious about what it's like inside!"

At this moment, Reis was very curious about the interior of the Diamond Queen Hotel. Just looking at the exterior decoration, the interior must be quite luxurious. He would then stuff a pile of gold inside, hehehe, it would be like a fairyland.

Seeing that Reese was very interested in the hotel's interior, the middle-aged man led him inside.

Upon entering and seeing the interior decoration, Reis, who was used to a life of luxury, couldn't help but gasp. The Diamond Queen Hotel was already quite luxurious, and there were few places in the entire Asara area that could compare to this place.

But now, Reiss felt that all the hardships he had endured before were utterly terrible, and that this was the kind of place a human should live in!

At first glance, everything is built with a lot of money. In short, whatever is expensive or high-end is used to make it high-end. But you know what? Others might think that this is a bit of a waste, and that the money should be put into the military and the people.

However, Reis was completely won over by this. Seeing that this "new home" was clearly built with money, Reis was extremely satisfied. The captain of the construction team had previously asked him what he should pay attention to during the reconstruction.

But Reese only said to make it a little more awesome on the original basis. But now that we see it, it's not just a little more awesome, it's absolutely awesome!

"Lord Reis, the flowers in this garden were all purchased at a high price from a foreign flower-growing expert. We only managed to get them by going through many connections, so they are practically priceless."

The middle-aged man was quite satisfied with Reis's expression and began to introduce the "surprises" they had "specially" prepared for this nouveau riche Reis.

Middle-aged man: Hehehe, looks like we've fooled them here. I knew this black gorilla was easy to fool, didn't I? Those workers are all timid as can be. The money we saved will all go into our pockets.

Then, the middle-aged man pulled Reis aside and began to introduce the buildings they had "carefully" bought for him from all over the world at high prices. Reis listened with amusement, seeing them as priceless treasures, and only these things were worthy of him. He was not short of money at all, and this was the kind of style he wanted.

"Let's go, Lord Reis, let's go and have a look at the private mansion that was specially prepared for you."

The middle-aged man dared not harbor any wicked thoughts about this mansion. After all, if he dared to tamper with anything here, it would be too easy to be exposed. If the tyrant Reis found out, he was afraid that his three construction teams would be left here.

After Reis went inside his new house and saw how it screamed that he was a super nouveau riche, he was so excited that he almost tossed the middle-aged man next to him into the air.

"Yes! That's exactly the effect I wanted! Hahaha, brother, you really understand me! I've worked with quite a few local renovation teams before, telling them my needs, but none of them could meet my requirements. Only you, my friend, understand me!!!"

Seeing Reis so excited he was practically dancing inside, the middle-aged man chuckled dismissively. If this was considered luxurious, then Reis simply didn't know how to enjoy life. Back in the day, in China, all those buildings couldn't compare to Reis's rather luxurious little villa. It just showed that Reis had never seen true understated luxury with substance.

Reis: Bullshit! I'm not being low-key! I just don't have enough money. If I had more, I'd build a house out of gold and dazzle the entire Assara!!!

He then introduced Reis to some high-tech mechanisms specifically equipped for his guards, which could effectively counterattack enemies trying to sneak in.

"Hmm, very good, very good. I am very satisfied. This gold bar is yours, you deserve it. Give me your business card, I will come to you again next time I need work."

The middle-aged man quickly thanked the man for the gold bar that had been stuffed into his arms. This Reis seemed to be even richer than he had thought. Anyway, the US was the one paying for this, so since this chimpanzee was so cooperative, he would try to rip him off less next time.

Chapter 233 Reis: I'm the richest man in Asara.

Afterwards, Reis and the middle-aged man engaged in a round of mutual flattery, with the middle-aged man patting his chest and making grand promises to Reis.

"Lord Reis, rest assured. Give us another week to rebuild the place that Hamk destroyed. After that, we will carry out a comprehensive upgrade and renovation of Longbow Valley. During this period, you can do whatever you want without any problems. We can complete the entire renovation in about a month and a half."

When Reis heard about the speed of these three Chinese construction teams, he was completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, is this the Chinese speed that has been circulating around the world? He thought it was fake before, but he didn't expect that there would actually be people who can reach such speeds.

Saeed: Hmph, just you wait, soon I'll show you what Asara speed and Asara spirit really mean! Then you'll see how we manage to stay in a room for seven days straight!

After seeing the middle-aged man off, Reis immediately summoned two soldiers to move all of the man's belongings from Amiya Town to him, as he was about to enjoy a life like an emperor.

Reese lay down on the super-sized bed in his room, rolled around aimlessly for a while, and then suddenly did a somersault and rolled off the bed.

"Oh dear, I wonder how far things are with that guy trying to recruit people. I need to make a call and check on things."

Reis immediately contacted the bodyguard who had been running around fetching gold to recruit soldiers:

"Hey, Patton, right? What's going on with you? How many soldiers have you recruited? We're going to have to deal with that bastard Hamk in a bit, you know?"

At that moment, Barton was right next to Youssef's territory, and upon seeing that it was Reese calling, he quickly answered the call:

“Boss Reis, I’ve recruited quite a few high-quality soldiers from Yousef. They’re all very capable fighters. It’s just that Said’s group… they don’t seem very interested in gold. I’ve seen many soldiers who would rather follow Said to grow corn than come here.”

"Tch, that just proves that Said's group is full of ignorant monkeys. I wouldn't even look at his people. Said is an idiot. He's broke and still has to support a bunch of useless old people and kids. Hey, why don't you try to poach a few women to have some kids with me?"

"Without Lord Reis, I really can't say for sure about the situation on Said's side, but Yusef has had a very fruitful trip. I'll be heading back with my men the day after tomorrow."

Seeing that he had managed to recruit several hundred people, Reis was relatively satisfied. As for Said's side, no one was willing to come to him, and Reis couldn't be bothered to care. You don't want to come? I don't need you either. I'm the richest man in all of Asara now. You can all continue to follow that Said and go back to farming.

Those who fled to Sayyid's side: Having money is no big deal, do you think you'd willingly give it all away? Under Commander Sayyid, we felt respected, and we gained goals and dreams!

"Alright, I'll wait here for your good news. You'll be richly rewarded when you return!"

After saying that, Reis hung up the phone. After gathering more people, he would start to take care of that damned Hamk. How dare he stab him in the back when he was seriously injured. Reis would not forget this grudge so easily!

He wanted to spare Hamk's life so he could watch how he became the new king of Asara. If he could find the old king's family, he would behead them and this "loyal dog" in front of everyone, to make those with wicked intentions behave and to let everyone know the ruthless methods of the new king of Asara.

Prior to this, Reese stated that he needed to be patient and wait until everything was foolproof before taking action and demonstrating his ambition.

"What, Xiao Hao? You're planning to come back this weekend? Why don't you come to my place first? Uncle Said, I'll cook you a feast. Did you go hungry there? Did you get cold at night? Do you want me to pick you up this weekend?"

In Reese's eyes, he was just a guy who only knew how to fight and farm. At this moment, he also received the news that Zhang Hao was going to come back this weekend. He immediately said that he would go to Zero Dam to have some fun first before going back.

Deep Blue: Said, you damn blondie, I'm warning you, you've met your end. If you try to kidnap my Xiao Hao again, I'll let you experience the feeling of being hit by my shield. I guarantee you'll never want to experience it a second time.

"Oh, Uncle Said, I'm doing quite well here, not as pitiful as you think, okay? I'll bring Roy to visit you when I get back! You still need to work hard to liberate Asaradoga!"

After drinking the chicken soup Zhang Hao handed him, Sayed solemnly assured him:

"Xiao Hao, don't worry, I won't go astray. Everything I have now is thanks to the people. It is their trust and mutual efforts that have made the dam what it is today. I will definitely work even harder, so don't worry!"

Zhang Hao: He's starting to act more and more like a political commissar. We really need to find some time to send Uncle Said to Uncle Shenlan for further training.

Roy: Um... I think the two of them might start fighting before class even begins, and then five minutes later, Xiao Hao, you'll get a soft, fluffy Uncle Said.

"Alright then, Xiao Hao, remember to come visit me! Next time you invite Roy over, bring a Wei Long too. We're a bit short-handed with farming lately, so let him come and have another match with me."

Zhang Hao: Oh no! Who turned my honest and law-abiding Uncle Said into this?! This... this is really amazing!

This morning, when Ella woke up, she quietly pulled Zhang Hao and Rometheus aside and told them about the little secrets the two girls had been talking about the night before.

Rometheus: You guys can talk all you want, but why did Claire look at me like that this morning? Did you two really not talk about anything weird last night?

But for the sake of the fresh and hot gossip, Rometheus didn't bother to think too much about it. Gossip was the most important thing in the world. Ever since he fell in love with gossip, he felt much younger and the distance between him and Ella had also shortened considerably.

"Let me tell you, Claire's 'best friend' actually drives a GTI, and she even told her not to..."

Rometheus/Zhang Hao: Holy crap, is this really that explosive?

Is Chapter 234 another archery competition?

While Zhang Hao was still excitedly enjoying this explosive gossip, the smile on his face gradually disappeared as he listened.

Zhang Hao: Wait, the person Ella just mentioned was named Luna, and she was from GTI. If I remember correctly, Luna's real name is Kim Luna! No way, no way, there can't really be such a coincidence in the world!

Meanwhile, Rometheus, engrossed in watching the drama unfold, failed to notice Zhang Hao's unusual behavior and excitedly whispered:

"Hey, I bet you, these two people claim to be good friends, but they're definitely having an affair behind the scenes, believe it or not."

"Oh, I asked, and they really are just close friends. I feel the same way, hehe."

Zhang Hao: I'm stunned. The gossip has spread to the people around me. Should I quietly ask Sister Luna if she knows Sister Claire?

However, after thinking about it, Zhang Hao decided to wait until he returned to the Special Operations Department before asking Luna. After all, if he asked Luna about it now and she got stressed, it would be quite difficult to handle (referring to the Special Operations Department).

"Oh, let's not talk about that now. Xiao Hao must be hungry. Let's go eat in the cafeteria today."

Rometheus glanced at Zhang Hao, whose expression had frozen, and assumed that Zhang Hao was hungry. So he ended his pleasant gossip-eating trip, called Byers, who had started looking at the files again, and headed to the staff cafeteria downstairs.

"Xiao Hao, eat more. Were you hungry before? You don't even have the energy to smile anymore. Come on, eat more. Anyway, it's not my money, hehehe."

Rometheus also brought a large plate of bread and a bottle of blueberry jam and placed them in front of Zhang Hao. After thinking for a moment, he realized that Zhang Hao probably didn't like the coffee he usually liked, so he specially asked someone to bring a bottle of milk.

"Eat more, Xiao Hao! Look how short you are! You need to eat more to grow taller!"

Zhang Hao: No, you guys don't understand. If I increase my charm stat a bit more, I won't even be able to keep someone who's 1.7 meters tall! 9527 isn't just looking for a darling of the group; she's trying to create a little Nan Niang!!! (;'??Д??`)

The thought that he might not be as tall as he is now in the future made Zhang Hao want to burst into tears. What a tragedy! He, a grown man, was actually... actually not even 1.7 meters tall?

"Hey, Hao, I see you brought a bow handle with you. Are you good at archery? What a coincidence! Miss Claire used to be an archery athlete too! How about you two have a competition after dinner?"

While they were eating, Rometheus suddenly suggested that Zhang Hao and Byers have an archery contest. This piqued even Byers' interest. Archery? He realized that he had been training in shooting recently and hadn't touched a bow in a long time. By the way, did Xiao Hao know how to use a bow?
