Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

At the same time, Kami also felt his eyelids gradually becoming heavy, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
Kami: I'm going to sleep. This morning I've already done a month's worth of training at the space base. Once the effects of this drug wear off, I'll really just pass out!
. . . . . . . . . . . .

"How's it going with Demoulan? Is it possible that all my projects are stuck here again today?"
In Hudson's office, his expression noticeably serious, Hudson looked at his subordinates and asked in a deep voice, to which they immediately replied:
"Reporting to Lord Hudson, today Demulan started approving our smaller projects one by one, but our Dark Star Fuel Project and the Ember Zone expansion project are firmly in the pipeline."
Upon hearing this news, Hudson could already picture the smug looks on Desmulan and Daisy's faces, and the thought made him grit his teeth in hatred.
Even so, it was still Hudson who called Jacob late at night, which was a disgrace to Hudson.
"What excuse did they come up with this time?"
Hudson couldn't help but feel helpless when he thought of Daisy's skill at making excuses. It was said that she was making excuses, but after gaining what she had, this crazy woman could be said to have no interest in making excuses anymore.
Because she's completely shameless now, she has no reason whatsoever, and it could even be described as throwing a tantrum. However, Hudson really has no way to deal with someone like Daisy.
If you're talking about methods, I'm not necessarily tougher than her. If you're talking about being shameless, with my upbringing, I would never resort to such infuriating tactics as she does.
Chapter 743 Hudson's Heartbreak
Daisy: Your grandpa will always be your grandpa. All those fancy things you're using now are things I've already finished playing with. You're the only one here who likes to act aloof and elegant.
Daisy thought about herself and Desmoland and almost burst out laughing. She couldn't help but say that the two of them were still too much like supermodels, especially Desmoland, who had now become shameless.
If Asara hadn't come to support her this time, given that Demulan also likes to pretend to be upright and aloof, she would have been constantly suppressed by Hudson.
After all, to deal with someone like Hudson, you have to be even more ruthless than him. This guy is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. To deal with someone like him, you have to take matters into your own hands to achieve complete dominance.
"That's all we can do. Let's go down now."
Although Hudson was helpless, he really couldn't think of any solution for the time being. He had already gone to Mr. Jacob.
The two guys on the other side had indeed passed several of their projects, but they were still stuck on the two most crucial ones.
But he couldn't very well go back to Mr. Jacob and specifically ask Demoulins to approve his two projects quickly.
Moreover, Daisy is the most difficult one to deal with. In fact, most people in the Hafk Group know that Daisy, a veteran of the company, has a very good personal relationship with Mr. Jacob.
However, no one in the group knew that Demulan, who had once been relatively unknown, was also part of their small circle. She just wasn't as flamboyant as Daisy, which is why no one had noticed her all this time.
Demouran: I was just too lazy to use that connection. Of course, the main reason was that I didn't even need to say anything; Daisy had already run off to find Jacob.
Given Daisy's work style, it's highly likely that his two projects won't be able to proceed for some time, but it's also not good that his soldiers can't get here indefinitely.
The reason why he, despite holding the title of the largest board member, is finding it difficult to move an inch in Asara is because all the Hafk soldiers at the space base are now loyal supporters of Demulan.
This can only be described as somewhat clandestine for Hudson. You might say you've fired quite a few, but it's impossible for you to say you've fired all the Hafk soldiers here.
Hudson: If I had actually done that, I would have been completely out of a position as Minister of Efficiency. I have actually saved a lot of resources for the space base.
After all, in Hudson's eyes, the soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield and could no longer fight on the front lines were already a liability here.
If he can get rid of these people without paying any compensation, that would be the best way to save resources. As for what happens to those people afterward, Hudson said that's none of his business.
"Looks like it's time to send someone to negotiate with Said from the shadows. I saw in the report that this guy seems only interested in farming, right? Well then, when we defeat Reis and distribute resources, we can give him that nearby Ouroboros district to farm."
As for why Hudson had such thoughts, it can only be attributed to Saeed's extremely low profile during this period.
Every day, he either dragged Nameless and Raven to work the land with him, or he spent his time in the office cultivating his relationship with Sophia. At the same time, Said never forgot Xiao Hao's instructions to him, and kept gathering manpower and stockpiling resources.
Said can now be said to have reached a position on par with Reis and Youssef. However, to outsiders, this Zero Dam is just a leader who only knows how to farm and leads a group of subordinates to farm every day, barely managing to keep people from starving.
On one occasion, Youssef even made a special trip to Dam Zero to inspect it before the hotel in Sayed was completed and before the administrative building with a large hole had been repaired.
Seeing that Sayyid and others were still full of enthusiasm for their work in such a harsh working environment, and that Sayyid had even run away to farm because he didn't want to do the homework assigned by Sofia.
When Yusuf saw Said, who was personally farming, yet whose eyes were still shining, Yusuf was almost moved to tears. How could there be such a big difference between Said and Reis?
So not only the others, but even Yusef, the current leader of Asara's side, has always been wary of Reis. After all, you don't know until you compare. Compared to him, Said is simply an angel!
Hudson immediately summoned a squad, handed them a letter he had just written, and instructed them:
"Be nicer. As long as you don't show hostility towards Said's people, he won't shoot like Reis does. Send this letter to him, and also personally hand over some information about me here, understand?"
As Saeed is the easiest of Assara's current leaders to deal with, Hudson no longer needs to resort to satellite phones to secretly contact him.
Moreover, he had a high opinion of Sayyid, after all, he was able to develop the former impoverished No. 0 Dam into a place where people at least won't starve to death.
Hudson also acknowledged the speed at which Saeed's assets had increased, and after he came to rule Asara, he did indeed need a compliant and capable servant like Saeed to maintain his footing.
Said: Tsk, why do all these people treat me like a second-in-command so naturally? Didn't I say every time I won a battle that I was going to liberate Asara? Everyone here wants to be Asara's master. There can only be one master of Asara, and that is the people of Asara!
After giving the orders, Hudson leaned back in his chair, exhausted, and closed his eyes. He was so tired lately, not physically, but mentally.
"I never thought I'd be driven to this point by just Demulan and Daisy. If Daisy hadn't come to Asara this time... Never mind, let's not think about that anymore. Let's check on Said first. If all else fails, we'll have to go find Yousef."
Chapter 744 They've found me?
"Sister Cammy? Sister Cammy, are you awake yet? It's time to eat!"
Although Zhang Hao and the others were prepared for Kami to fall into a deep sleep according to Roy's explanation, Zhang Hao, still skeptical, went to Kami's door and knocked on it after mealtime.
"Stop hitting Xiao Hao. You were being trained like this yourself and slept from the afternoon until evening. You should let him rest."
After being told that by Roy, Zhang Hao had no choice but to give up and then went downstairs to have lunch with everyone.
"It seems that Sister Kamie is completely unable to move today. I was saying that if she recovers well this afternoon, we would take her to Uncle Said's place to play, and let her meet Uncle Said."
Roy and Veelong's eyes lit up when they heard they could go to Said's place, but then, thinking about Kami's situation, they both tacitly backed down.
"If she wakes up this afternoon, why don't you give her a massage to help her relax? I think it would be nice to go find Saeed for some fun tomorrow."
The thought that he hadn't gone to Saeed's place to cause trouble during this time made Roy start to get restless.
"If you're going to give Kami a massage, Xiao Hao, please call me. I'm really curious about your massage skills. I've studied neurology, so how come I can't do what you do?"
Zoya frowned when she heard Roy's idea. Why would they leave Xiaohao and that Kami alone in a room again, and even have intimate actions between them? No, no, she had to stay by their side and keep an eye on them.
"Forget about it, Zoya. What you're talking about is neurology. What does that have to do with massage? Besides, with the kind of force you use when you massage, it's a miracle you haven't killed someone."
As expected, Roy received a death stare from Zoya after saying this. Remembering what Zoya had just said, Roy immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head, and silently ate his meal.
Roy: Oh dear, I guess I've been living too comfortably lately. I just blurted it out without even looking who it was. I definitely can't make that mistake again next time I'm being sarcastic.
“But Roy, what you said seems to be true. It’s true that I haven’t been to Uncle Said’s place for a while, and I don’t know how things are going at Dam Zero. But since Uncle Said hasn’t contacted me, it means that there shouldn’t be any problems at the dam.”
Zhang Hao thought about it and realized that they had been running between Hafk and the United Nations for a while, occasionally going to Babel to give Zero some extra help. He really hadn't had any extra time to visit Said.
"Alright, let's see how well Camille is recovering this afternoon. If it's really not good, I'll have to show off my massage skills again, plus my bartending skills. Camille should be able to move around freely tomorrow without any problem."
Just after Zhang Hao made his decision, Claire looked over excitedly. Was Xiao Hao and the others going out for team building again? How could she miss out on something like this!
"Xiao Hao! I want to go too! That guy named Said probably doesn't know me either. Can I come along this time? Don't worry, I'll be very good!"
Looking at Claire's excited face, Zhang Hao felt that if Claire had a little tail behind her, it would definitely turn into an electric fan.
"Why do you want to go there and join the fun again? Have you forgotten the person with the red mask you saw in Tide Prison last time? Besides, don't worry, even if Said doesn't know you, he has a raven who does."
However, Luna, who was standing next to Claire, frowned when she heard Claire say this and said, "What is Claire going to do now? I haven't seen her training at the Special Operations Department for so many days. I was thinking of taking Claire to the shooting range tomorrow to see if her skills have deteriorated."
"Huh?! Oh, Luna, you can't do this! I really want to go play, but if you put it that way... why don't you come with me?"
Seeing that Luna actually wanted to trap her in this Special Operations Department, Claire was also anxious. Luna, you've been to that Zero Dam so many times, but I'm still not done with it. Although I know Said, I don't doubt that I've been running around there.
"You... never mind, go if you want, but remember not to use that as an excuse next time!"
Seeing Claire running over to her again, rubbing against her and acting cute, Luna, who thought she had become thick-skinned, blushed instantly. After pushing Claire away a little, Luna finally had no choice but to give in.
There was no way around it; the main reason was that Luna could clearly sense that among the people in front of her, apart from Xiao Hao who already knew the inside story, the others were looking at her and Claire with strange expressions.
Luna: Especially you two! Roy, can you and Veelong stop grinning like that in front of me? And do you really think I wouldn't guess what you're whispering about?!
"Since that's the case, Lina, you shouldn't have anything planned for tomorrow, right? How about we go for a walk around Dam Zero together?"
Seeing that Claire was also coming along, Zhang Hao figured that Lina couldn't be left out either. This way, Uncle Said could also update his Special Operations Unit on the latest personnel changes.
“No problem. I’m also very curious about what kind of person Said is, who took a liking to you at first sight and made you his strategist.”
Lina nodded in agreement. She was fine with it, and since Xiao Hao had personally invited her, she had no choice but to go.
"And Xiao Hao, what I'm actually more curious about now is your massage technique... tonight... could I try it out myself? I'd really like to learn!"
Seeing that the other sisters all turned their attention to Lina after she finished speaking, Zhang Hao could only think to himself that he was in trouble and that he would have to start thinking about how to evacuate safely again that night.
Chapter 745 Why are you running?
Meanwhile, Said, after finishing processing the main documents for the dam project that day with Sofia and having lunch, dragged the nameless person he had caught along the way to his field.
"Oh dear, summer's almost here again, how about we build a greenhouse around here?"
Faced with Said's question, Wuming remained silent, simply squatting to one side and playing with the twig. This raven has become clever now, knowing roughly when Said would come to farm each day, and has learned to travel during off-peak hours.
He had only gotten up a little late today, and had just stepped out of the dormitory building to go to the cafeteria to see what was left to fill his stomach when he bumped into Said, who was coming over to water his vegetables.
When Nameless first saw Said, his mind hadn't even registered what was happening before his body had already done what he needed to do.
In Said's eyes, the nameless man immediately turned around and ran towards the open space behind him after seeing him for the first time. In Said's mind, this behavior meant that the nameless man must have done something to wrong him again.
So the two of them played a fun game of chasing each other on the top of the dam. When Wuming saw that Said was getting closer and closer to him, he turned on his speed boost and ran away, trying to shake Said off.
Unfortunately, this action not only failed to shake off Sayyid, but instead made Sayyid rediscover the excitement he once felt when hunting prey in the mountains and forests.
The two ran like this for about ten minutes. When Wuming's stamina was almost exhausted, he suddenly began to slow down until he gradually came to a stop. Said, who was behind him, also stopped behind Wuming in confusion.
Why aren't you running anymore?
Why should I run?
After exchanging a glance, the two spoke in unison.
"It's not that you saw me and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. I'm just afraid that you've secretly done something shameful behind my back again."
After listening to Said's words, Wuming thought for a few seconds and then said:
"I don't know what happened to me just now. My brain hadn't even started working, but my legs started moving on their own. But I think it's probably related to how you usually bully me."
