Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

After hearing Claire's words, Demulan felt a little relieved of his concerns. That was good. Moreover, it would definitely be safer for Cammy to go to the Secret Service than to stay at the space base.
Demulan: I feel at ease with Xiao Hao and Shen Lan there. Besides, with Claire and the others in the Special Operations Department, Camido can learn a lot, which is much better than having them stay by my side all the time.
Demulan then had Claire hand the phone to Zhang Hao, and after a long discussion, the two finalized the plan to transport Kami.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao explained the plan he and Demulan had discussed on the phone. They decided that Demulan would shut down the Skynet satellite for a period of time that night, ensuring that no one would be following them as they sent Sister Kami out, and then they would bring her back.
Meanwhile, at the space base, Demulan was also pulling Camille aside, repeatedly giving her instructions:
"Kami, once you get to that Special Operations Unit, just follow behind Xiao Hao. Don't worry, your sister Claire has already completely integrated there. I've already asked her and Xiao Hao to help you integrate faster. If you miss me and your Aunt Daisy, just go to the Tower of Babel with Xiao Hao!"
Daisy, who was watching from the side, could only roll her eyes. This Demulan really is getting old. Back then, she used to complain to her about why old people talk so much.
Daisy: Oh, that's so unlike me, forever eighteen! I'll never start becoming a nagging old woman like this Desmoulins.
Chapter 729 Playing by His Own Rules (1)
Kami looked at Demulan with a reluctant expression. Demulan kept telling her to take care of herself and stay safe. Demulan was reluctant to part with his precious Kami, and Kami was naturally very reluctant to part with Demulan, whom she had finally reunited with!
"Hey, hey, you two, that's enough! You're putting on an act here, getting all sentimental. Cammy, why didn't you ever think of getting a little sentimental with your Aunt Daisy like that!"
"And you, Demulan, tell me, aren't you being ridiculous? You're acting like all those GTI guys aren't even in Asara anymore. If you had just settled things with Hudson earlier, none of this would have happened. Even if you got them a villa, there wouldn't be room for you. Alright, alright, stop making this awkward in front of me. I'm about to deduct a three-bedroom, two-living-room house for you guys."
Daisy's meddling completely ruined the atmosphere that Demulan had created. After glaring at Daisy with dissatisfaction, Demulan told Camille to go upstairs and do what she needed to do.
"Will you go and talk to the GTI executives, or will I do it?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Demulan started packing up to go to the office to confront that bastard Hudson. Before leaving, Demulan thought of something and turned to Daisy, who was still lying on the sofa, and said something.
"You should just go back to work. I've already thought all this through, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. You should focus on how to deal with Hudson's harassment."
Seeing that Daisy had already taken care of everything, Demulan nodded and said no more. Their primary goal now was to deal with Hudson, and if possible, it would be best to kill that bitch Reese as well.
After Demulan went to work, Daisy also squinted her eyes and comfortably leaned back on the sofa, happily humming a little tune. Now that Camille was going to be sent to GTI tonight, it could be said that the two of them could finally go all out and have a good head-to-head confrontation with Hudson.
You should know that this time, the reason why she wanted to send Kami to the Special Operations Department was not only to cultivate a relationship with Xiao Hao, but also because the current GTI is much safer than the space base where they are now.
Daisy: I mainly trust Xiao Hao. After all, Xiao Hao is such a lucky charm, I feel that Kami is not in any danger at all.
Meanwhile, upstairs waiting for nightfall, Kami couldn't contain her excitement and took out her phone to contact Zhang Hao. The thought of being able to go to the place where Xiao Hao had always lived made Kami's heart pound.
Kami: Mom told me to find a chance to sleep in the same bed with Xiaohao, umm~~~ is that really okay? I feel like I'd just faint from happiness!
The five women currently at the Special Operations Department thought: "It seems things are starting to get chaotic again. Judging from this... the competitive pressure on everyone is immense."
Kami never imagined that the Secret Service would be so lively now. She thought that once she got there, she would learn those "forbidden knowledge" that she never dared to dream of before in a very short time.

"Lord Hudson, our people have been observing Demulan's side... and there seems to be absolutely no movement. Moreover, her daughter didn't go to her workstation today either. It seems they really intend to accept the fact that Cammy has been fired!"
At the space base's dock, in Hudson's office, Hudson listened with a furrowed brow to the report from his secretary, who had been transferred from his family.
Upon hearing that Demulan was actually willing to accept the fact that he had fired Cammy, Hudson started to panic. What on earth was Demulan thinking? He had just fired her daughter with a random excuse!
Shouldn't she be storming into his office, looking furious, and having a heated confrontation with him? Then they could sit down and discuss the terms properly, right?
You should know that before, you thought that Demulan was just threatening you with a few projects, but you didn't expect that this reckless woman would actually block all the projects she could.
His plans to launch satellites developed by his family into space were also vetoed by Demulan. What disgusted him the most was that Demulan actually had the power to block the projects he wanted to promote, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Hudson's decision to fire Camille was also intended to intimidate Demulan and Daisy behind her. He wanted to show them that even if he couldn't touch them now, none of the people around them would escape. Demulan's daughter, who had only recently arrived in Asara, was an excellent target.
However, everything that has happened now is beyond Hudson's expectations. He did not expect that Demulan would be so ruthless, refusing to come and negotiate with him even after his daughter was allowed to return.
Demulan was clearly determined to go head-to-head with him! Hudson knew that if things continued like this, he would be the one who would be truly disgusted, since his dismissal of Demulan's daughter was really nothing to Demulan.
He had only thought about how much Kami meant to Demulan, but now it was clear that he was wrong. Demulan was a ruthless person; he could still endure even after he had gone this far.
Hudson: I think it must have been Daisy who gave Demulan the idea. I don’t believe that Demulan has such great patience. If it weren’t for Daisy giving Demulan advice, she would probably be thinking of rushing over and holding a gun to my head right now.
Daisy: DeMullan, look at this. This is what reputation is. It seems I put too much pressure on Hudson. He can even connect this to me. The key is that he actually guessed it.
Chapter 730 Playing by His Own Rules (2)
Demulan: Cough cough, well... even if that's what I really think, so what? Am I really just going to stand by and watch my son Cammy get bullied like this? If I did, I'd be such a failure as a mother. To be honest, I really want to grab a gun and rush into Hudson's office and slit a hole in his head.
“No, go and send a document to Demulan’s secretary. In an hour, I will personally visit Demulan to make sure she is ready.”
After thinking for a while, Hudson covered his head and decided that he couldn't waste any more time with that shameless guy Demulan. He desperately needed to push forward with the expansion project of the Ash District. Without his soldiers coming, he couldn't do anything right now.
If he could get half of his own people to come, and he only needed that half, he was confident he could take down Reis, and it would be a matter of course. The United Nations had already begun to suspect Reis.
However, the key evidence that can directly identify Reis is currently lacking, and the United Nations is unable to do anything about Reis for the time being.
However, if I were to deal with Reis myself and hand him over to the United Nations, not only would I not be warned like I was with Demulan before, but Jacob would also have to personally intervene to quell the incident, and I would even be secretly rewarded by the United Nations.
Then I can make Longbow Valley my large base. When I reach my peak, that will be the time when Demulan and Daisy truly submit to me.
Hudson's secretary immediately contacted Mary and informed her that Hudson would be visiting Desmulan in person an hour later.
After receiving the email, Mary immediately went to Demoulins' office and knocked on the door.
“Ms. Demurean, Hudson sent us an email saying he’ll be visiting you in person in an hour. Should we… have Ms. Daisy come along?”
Mary looked at Desmulan with some worry. Although she thought Ms. Desmulan was very capable, she was still Hudson after all.
He was unlike any of the opponents Ms. Demulan had encountered before. It could be said that even Mary genuinely believed that Hudson was a rather difficult person to deal with.
At least at this stage, Mary believes that without Ms. Daisy's support for Ms. Desmulland, this current balance would not exist at all.
Even though Ms. Desmulland tried her best to resist Hudson's forces from invading the space station, the two were ultimately not equal in terms of status and power. It can be said that without Ms. Daisy backing Ms. Desmulland, Hudson would never have been able to pretend to be so "refined" on the surface.
"No need. Hudson is just here to probe my strength. And calling Daisy over so early will only make Hudson think that we have no means to counter him."
After listening to Mary's suggestion, Demulan immediately rejected it, saying that it was not the right time to activate Daisy yet.
Demulan: While Daisy is indeed a very useful person, and I can make her angry to relieve my boredom when I have nothing to do, I think now is a great opportunity to hone my skills.
Although Hudson was young, as a pure capitalist, Demulan felt it was very necessary to confront him. Previously, he had always been provoked by Hudson and led by the nose.
This time, the situation is different from before. This time, Hudson had no choice but to come to him for negotiation because he had blocked the project.
This time, the initiative is in Desmoulins' hands, which is why she is so confident this time.
DeMullan: You said that before, you were being manipulated by that bastard Hudson, which is why you kept getting into those embarrassing situations. But this time it's really different. I don't believe that I can play this good hand so badly!
Looking at the very confident Desmulan in front of her, Mary, her most loyal fan, had a troubled look on her face. Although she knew that Ms. Desmulan was the one taking the initiative this time, for some reason, Mary had a feeling that Hudson wouldn't be stupid enough to come over and honestly negotiate with Ms. Desmulan.
Mary: He's a capitalist! You have to be very careful when talking to people like that. Sometimes you can't even imagine how you, who were the one initiating the conversation, ended up being the one in a passive position.
One hour later...
Hudson arrived at Desmulan's office door on time with his squad. Seeing Mary waiting for him there, Hudson gave her a "polite" smile.
"Oh, Miss Mary, you look much better these past few days! I wonder if you'd like to work for me now? My offer remains the same; if you come, you'll receive top-notch treatment!"
Upon hearing Hudson's words, Mary gave him an awkward but polite smile. Why was Hudson still trying to take advantage of her? Hadn't she already made it very clear that she wouldn't leave Ms. Desmulland? Why was he still clinging to her like this?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hudson, I don’t have any plans in that regard right now. Ms. Desmuth is very kind to us. Please go inside; Ms. Desmuth is already waiting for you.”
Although she had to complain in her heart, she still had to put on a good show. Even if she disliked Hudson, Mary still smiled and gestured for him to come in. Besides, if he continued to linger here, Demulan would probably come out and stare at Hudson with murderous eyes.
"Hehe, it's alright, Miss Mary. I admire you even more now that you say that. I believe people always change, but the conditions I've offered you will never change, and... I'll only keep increasing them."
Chapter 731 Hudson: I'm Getting a Little Red (1)
After Hudson finished speaking, he turned and told the soldiers he had brought to wait at the door, while he turned and followed Mary into the office in front of him.
“Ms. Demurean, Lord Hudson has arrived.”
After leading Hudson into the office, Mary bowed to the two of them and then turned and walked out of the office.
After Mary closed the office door, an eerie silence fell over the entire office.
When Demulan saw Hudson arrive, he did not stand up from his chair. He remained calm and sat in his seat, but the chill in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Hudson remained silent, first exchanging glances with Desmulan, then gracefully seated himself opposite Desmulan. After adjusting to a comfortable position, Hudson finally spoke to Desmulan:
"Hmm... It's been a while since we last met, Demulan. I hope you've been doing well lately, and haven't encountered anything unpleasant."
The moment Hudson opened his mouth, he successfully stirred up Demulan's previously calm emotions.
Demulan: You shameless bastard, you're just saying this on purpose, aren't you? What could possibly bother me lately? It's just you, you bastard, constantly tripping me up.
However, Demulan immediately realized that Hudson was trying to destabilize his emotions so that he could regain the initiative at the negotiating table.
Having figured this out, Desmulan was no longer in a hurry. Mimicking Daisy's former self, he squinted his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and smiled cheerfully at Hudson, saying in a nonchalant tone:
"How could that be? The Hafk Group is getting better and better under your leadership, Hudson. What could possibly be bothering me? If I were to encounter something unpleasant, how could I possibly say it? Wouldn't that be clearly saying that you're the one who's doing a bad job?"
Demulan: I'm back! I feel my intelligence starting to converge in my brain again! After getting absolute values from the Relink brain-computer interface with Rometheus, I haven't used my intelligence for a long time!
Daisy wasn't there, otherwise she probably would have criticized Demulan for this too, since it's clearly a self-portrait.
It should be noted that although Demulan was once very intelligent, she was always very disciplined and would never show such an expression in front of her leader. Usually, only she herself could do such a rebellious thing without feeling out of place.
This was evident when the two faced Jacob; Daisy was practically defecating on Jacob's head, a complete and unruly troublemaker.
Hudson was slightly taken aback by Desmulan's performance. Was Desmulan... possessed by Daisy? Hudson felt a slight pressure emanating from her, from her expression and tone.
"Hehehe, it seems you've been doing quite well lately, Demulan, even in the mood to joke with me. But as a mother, don't you really need to think about your daughter's future?"
Hudson, unwilling to give up, pressed on, "This doesn't seem right. Is Demulan really that indifferent? Does she really have no intention of considering her daughter's future at all?"
Hudson: This looks really bad. Is she really planning to send her daughter back home to live off her parents? All her previous confident speculations and everything she's done now are for nothing?
At this moment, Hudson couldn't help but wonder if he had put too much pressure on Demulan. Could it be that this guy was so stressed that he sent his daughter back so that he could stand there and fight him to the bitter end?
"Lord Hudson, please stop testing me. I know what you're trying to say, so please rest assured that I will never make the same or similar mistake again."
Seeing that Hudson had once again brought up the matter of Kami, Demulan simply smiled slightly, then calmly shook his head at Hudson, changing his tone to one of self-reproach, and continued speaking as if he already knew he was wrong:
“You’re right. No matter what, Cammy and I are mother and daughter. Even though my Cammy has met the requirements for the position I arranged for her, both in terms of education and work, rules are rules. When it’s necessary to avoid suspicion, we have to do it this way. I’ve already bought her a plane ticket back to the United States, so Mr. Hudson doesn’t need to worry too much.”
Seeing Demulan's obedient "I already know I was wrong" look, Hudson really wanted to go to Demulan's side and check whether Daisy was directly controlling Demulan through brain-computer interfaces, or whether she had anticipated his move and was deliberately trying to annoy him.
But seeing Demulan's sincere apology, Hudson was speechless. He could only close his eyes to compose himself before opening them to get down to business with Demulan.
“It’s alright, Ms. Demulan. The rules and regulations of the Guardian Group are something that everyone must abide by. I would be truly grateful if my reminder could be of any help to you. However… Demulan, you’ve stalled four of our ongoing projects in one fell swoop. I hope you can give me an explanation.”
