Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Kami, who had been following Zhang Hao and strolling around inside the dam, was speechless with amazement at the dam's current prosperity.

This was completely different from the dam she had heard about from her mother. Putting aside what her mother had told her—that people on the dam were lucky if they could just have enough to eat—she was surprised.

This now looks like the Zero Dam undergoing the Industrial Revolution, showing the Asara people who no longer go hungry or worry about food and clothing.

At this moment, Kami also realized that the military significance of this dam was Xiao Hao's real asset. She was very familiar with this style, and Kami said that she had studied modern history very well.

What Asara is now imitating is the operating model that China once used.

Kami: Especially this neutral stance, which directly isolates itself from the gunfire, allowing it to focus entirely on developing its own strength, and then pounce on its prey to kill it once its strength is sufficient.

Although Xiao Hao didn't take him to see the armory inside the dam, after observing the dam's current condition, Kami concluded that the dam now possessed the qualities to rule over a region.

The dam now possesses a military force that Reiss could never have imagined, along with an armed force that would astound Youssef. Yet, when he was at the space base, he had never included this Zero Dam within his observation range.

Kami: How should I put it? It's probably not my mother's fault for not noticing the rise of Said here. After all, for a long time, the entire Asara faction's attention was basically focused on this Reis.

"Hehe, what do you think, Sister Cammy? Isn't it a little different from what you imagined? It's about time, let's go! Let's go eat!"

Zhang Hao smiled and checked the time. Seeing that they were almost at the hotel, he grabbed Claire, who was still trying to run to the top of the dam, and pulled her back to the administration building.

"Alright, Claire, you can't possibly walk around this dam all at once. Let's go eat first, okay? How about we invite Luna over next time so we can all eat together?!"

Seeing Claire's still-unsatisfied expression, Zhang Hao had no choice but to bring up Luna. After hearing Zhang Hao's suggestion, Claire immediately agreed, saying, "That's right, we can bring Luna along next time!"

When Zhang Hao and the others returned to the administration building, they saw the three who had just come back from the fields. Seeing that Said and Weilong were sitting on the roadside, exhausted, Zhang Hao asked them curiously if they had gone to compete again.

"Yeah, I don't know what got into you, Brother Weilong, that you went and challenged this Said to a contest. Luckily, he narrowly won this time. Look at how happy he is. I'll have to drive him again this afternoon. I'm really afraid he'll close his eyes halfway through the drive."

Roy was also complaining while pointing at the dragon that had already begun to show off its glorious victory over Said. He had just given the guy a little exercise before the meal, and he would have to send him aside to eat steamed buns during the meal.

Roy: It's not that I'm heartless, this guy just eats so much. Especially when he came back just now, he kept saying in my ear that he was hungry. How could we let him have it? If we didn't bring him a table full of steamed buns and pickled vegetables, the rest of us wouldn't even get a few bites of food.

After a hearty meal, shortly after Zhang Hao and his group drove away from Dam Zero, a soldier sent a message to Said.

"What?! Those Hafk soldiers from yesterday are here again? And they're here to deliver a message again?"

Said was speechless. These people really know how to pick their time. Couldn't they have come a little earlier? They didn't come when Xiao Hao and the others were here, but they came as soon as they left.

However, considering that they had already agreed not to cooperate, Sayed gave the order:

"Just take the letter and bring it to me. Tell them that our dam will not cooperate with Hudson, that's all."

Said was too lazy to let these people in anymore. He hadn't even called Hudson yet, didn't they know what he was worth?

Said: I never expected there to be someone even more clueless than me here.

Chapter 754 Hudson: You really won't cooperate with me?

But a short while later, the guard at the gate spoke to Said again via walkie-talkie:

"Boss, these guys are asking for your contact information. Should we just take action and drive them away?"

"Just give them any number, like Abel or Patton. They're all working-class people. Do you think they really want my number? Give it to them and then get lost. Tell them that next time we won't be so nice. If they want to come and deliver messages again, they'd better be prepared to be shot."

After giving his instructions, Sayyid leaned back in his chair. He had originally planned to continue causing trouble near the Tower of Babel that afternoon.

Said: Come to think of it, if Hudson knew that I was secretly causing trouble at the Tower of Babel and the space station under his name, wouldn't he be so angry that he would come after me to fight me?

However, what Said couldn't understand was that he had made quite a bit of noise near the space base and Babel Tower during this period, but why hadn't he seen the resistance from the Hafk soldiers towards Hudson that he had imagined?

Said: Haven't I gone too far enough? I talked to Xiaohao about it this time, and even Xiaohao is still confused.

Meanwhile, at the dam gate, several Hafk soldiers, after getting Patton's phone number, were also "warned" by these Asara soldiers, and they all said they wouldn't do it again.

Hafk soldier: Said and his soldiers are really good people. They even gave us a heads-up before we made our move. If Lord Hudson wants us to deliver messages next time, we'll have to take sick leave first.

The letter was delivered to Said's office. After glancing at Hudson's further promises, Said simply tossed it aside.

Hudson is really ruthless to Reis. He has increased the resources he has provided, and he has also guaranteed the specifics of the terms, saying that if Said doesn't believe him, he can personally sign a guarantee contract.

Saeed: I do see your determination, but... please allow me to refuse!

After all, he was bound to clash with Hudson sooner or later. Regardless of whether he sided with Asara or Xiao Hao, Hudson was not a good partner for him.

Said was also very clear that the only person he could trust in Asara was himself. Back when the people of the dam were starving to the point of cannibalism, Yusuf simply told him to take care of it himself, saying that the resources distributed by the organization each month were limited, and then sent him away.

Later, Reis, who had been calling him brother and buddy, didn't even bother to talk to him at that time. So Said knew very well that the seemingly united Asara camp had actually fallen apart inside.

Hudson, who had been waiting for good news at the space base, inquired about Said's attitude after seeing the soldiers he had sent out return.

"What did you say? That Said doesn't want to cooperate with me? He even said that if he sees you again, he'll attack you directly?"

After listening to the soldiers recount what had happened to them on the other side of the dam, Hudson said incredulously, "Is this Said really that brave? He won't even agree to this condition?"

"Yes, Commander Hudson, that's exactly what they told us. This is their contact information, but... I'm not sure if this will actually get us in touch with Said."

Hudson looked at the small note in front of him and broke down, telling all the Hafk soldiers to get out. After a period of impotent rage in his office, he began to reflect on himself.

"If you ask me, Said clearly had no reason to refuse me. Why, why was he able to refuse so decisively? Is there something I didn't consider?"

Once Hudson calmed down, he sat down and began to rethink things. Was there something he hadn't noticed, or perhaps he had overlooked something very important that made Said so decisive in his rejection?

Saeed: Hehehe, even if you offer me the most outrageous terms, if Xiao Hao says no, then you can forget about cooperating with me for good. It's impossible! I, Saeed, am the man you can't have!

"Sigh, forget it. I really don't understand what's going on in Said's head. I should talk to Yousef properly. Said... after we've dealt with Reis, I might as well take care of him too."

Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, Hudson still couldn't figure out why Said wouldn't accept his cooperation plan. Could it be that Said and Reese actually had a very good relationship behind the scenes?

But after thinking for a long time without coming to a conclusion, Hudson finally decided to use this last resort: it was time to contact Youssef, the current de facto ruler of Asara.

Now that he had Yusuf's contact information, Hudson wasn't in a hurry. As a member of the board of directors, he was willing to give some more time to see if Said would come back to him.

Of course, Hudson would never admit that the reason he prioritized cooperating with Said over Yusuf was simply because he wanted to save more resources.

After all, in Hudson's eyes, the resources he would need to invest in cooperating with Yousef would definitely be higher than those he would need to cooperate with Said, and Yousef would not be as easily fooled as that farmer Said.

Said: To put it bluntly, you're just a piece of trash who simply refuses to acknowledge that you're actually a miser, right? What's wrong with me? How am I, Said, worse than Yusuf? You know, if you asked me to lock Yusuf in a room and fight him one-on-one, I'd take him down in a heartbeat!

Chapter 755 He's dreaming!

"Ugh!"

"Can you please stop sighing in my ear? Kami has only been with the Special Operations Department for two or three days, and he hasn't complained about being homesick. What are you sighing about in my ear for?!"

Meanwhile, in Desmuller's office, relying on Daisy's presence, Desmuller was slumped over his desk, sighing repeatedly.

Daisy, who had been listening to Desmoulins' complaints all day, couldn't take it anymore. "You've been captured by you and forced to work as a slave, and you haven't complained to me. Now you're just thinking about Camille by yourself, and you've been nagging me all day."

Daisy felt like her ears were about to fall off from Demulan's nagging. One minute she was worried that Cammy wasn't getting enough to eat or wear, and the next she had to coax her to tell her that she had already transferred Cammy's living expenses in advance.

Besides, even if DeepBlue didn't receive their money, how could they possibly let your Kami go hungry?

Daisy: Weren't you with him at the Tower of Babel that time too? Didn't you see how that blond guy and that buzz-cut guy were eating? That just proves that the food at the Secret Service must be pretty good, you know?

As for the issue of not being warm enough, Daisy said that was even more comforting. If Kami really wasn't warm enough over there, then she could just stuff him into Xiao Hao's blanket, and the two of them could squeeze together under one blanket and stay warm.

But just as Daisy finally managed to calm Desmuller down, he blurted out another sentence:

"What if my Camille misses me at night? And a child as obedient and sensible as her will definitely keep those feelings bottled up inside. What if she gets sick from holding it in for too long?"

Daisy completely lost her temper after Desmulan finished speaking, and immediately stood up and unleashed a barrage of attacks on him:

"Your damn well-being is a concern. Back when you were in Assara, she was still in the US, wasn't she? Do you think she'd miss you so much that she couldn't sleep? At most, she'd call you once a week, and sometimes when you were busy, you might not be able to reach her for a whole week!"

Hearing Daisy's words, Demulan smiled somewhat embarrassedly. Back then, he had no choice. Besides, the space base didn't have a mature operating system like it does now, so as the head of the place, he naturally had to work harder!

"Isn't it because you're here? Besides, you've already thought about most of the follow-up matters, haven't you? It's only natural that you want to think about Cammy. Besides, you were there to keep Cammy company back then. Now we're not by her side anymore. Sigh! You wouldn't understand the worries in this old mother's heart."

Seeing Desmulan's unyielding attitude, Daisy launched her ultimate attack:

"Don't worry about that. Kami has Xiao Hao by her side now. With Xiao Hao by her side, I really can't understand how you dare to think that Kami can't sleep because she misses you. She has a sweet and soft Xiao Hao by her side!"

Demulan fell silent after hearing this. Although he wanted to say something to refute Daisy, no matter how he thought about it, he concluded that the fact was indeed the same as what Daisy said.

Seeing that Desmulan was speechless after being confronted, Daisy grabbed a pile of documents from the stack in front of her and placed them in front of Desmulan, saying fiercely:

"I think you're just bored. You're really dumping all the work on me now, aren't you? Take it away, take it away. Don't ever put these simple things in front of me again, okay?"

Daisy had just tossed the documents to Demulan when Demulan's phone, which was on the table, showed a new message. Demulan opened his phone and saw that it was a message from his beloved little Camille!

Demulan immediately checked his phone to see if it was as he had guessed—that his Kamie was missing him.

"Huh? Cammy said that Hudson sent someone to Sayid's place yesterday to deliver a message, saying that... he wants to cooperate with him?"

Upon hearing what Demulan read aloud, Daisy immediately stood up from her seat and walked behind Demulan to look curiously at what new information Kami and Xiao Hao had obtained together.

After reading all the messages Cammy sent her, Daisy couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha, this Hudson is really pathetic. He sought cooperation from Said and got rejected. Hehehe, I bet he's probably still fuming in his office right now!"

Demulan felt a surge of joy at the thought. It was fortunate that Hudson was unaware that Said had already formed a partnership with them, and that Hudson was the very person they were targeting.

"Hudson is probably really desperate now. The expansion project in the Ember District is now firmly under our control, and I guess Hudson is now eyeing Reis's territory, which is why he's thinking of cooperating with Said."

Daisy nodded in agreement. As a board member, Hudson couldn't even get his own troops delivered, especially now that he and Demulan were constantly pushing their luck. Someone with a strong sense of shame like him would never tolerate this.

"I reckon this guy is just desperate. If he were to look at things from Said's perspective, he would realize that Said would never agree to cooperate with him to deal with Reis. After all, Reis may be annoying, but he is still one of Asara's people."

"If you, Hudson, were to take over Longbow Valley, wouldn't that be like having a sword hanging over your own head? Besides, with Said having Xiao Hao as his strategist, cooperation is simply impossible."

After listening to Daisy's explanation, Demulan nodded in agreement. What Daisy said about Hudson not thinking from Said's perspective was indeed quite true.

"I reckon that if this guy gets thwarted by Said, he'll go after Yousef again."

Chapter 756 The Appointment Time

Daisy then realized that if Hudson couldn't reach an agreement with Said, his next step would likely be to seek cooperation with Yousef.

"He's probably thinking about how to move his troops from the US to our side right now. If you ask me, Hudson is still too young and too concerned about his image."

Daisy couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Hudson's impatient manner. If she were in Hudson's current situation, she would never be like him, refusing to ask Jacob again just to save face for her board of directors.

Moreover, in Daisy's view, this board of directors is nothing more than a title, except that Hudson, as the largest board member of the Hafk Group, has a bigger title than them.

But without troops or weapons by your side, even if you are the largest board member, you still can't control Demulan, this little security chief.

Even if Hudson brought all his men to Asara, it wouldn't be easy for him to take action against Demulan, let alone control him.

Putting aside the possibility that Hudson might take advantage of you if he gets too cocky, just consider Demulan. If you really push her too far, do you think she might just drag everyone down with her and self-destruct?

Daisy: And right now, Cammy is still with the Secret Service. Just wait and see if she'll call in reinforcements, okay?
