Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

After complaining for a bit, Daisy turned around and left with Demulan and Ella. Seeing that the two troublemakers had finally left, Rometheus breathed a sigh of relief. He then wanted to pull his eldest son aside to complain.

Unfortunately, when he looked up at the spot where his eldest son had been, he found that there was no one there anymore. In the end, he could only helplessly return to his room and sleep alone.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

On their way back, Desmoulins looked at Daisy and said:

"Daisy, do you think it's a bit unfair of us to treat Rometheus like this? After all, he's never really been unkind to us. I feel like we're being a little unjust!"

Seeing that Demulan was starting to soften again, Daisy pulled her hand away and delivered a chop to Demulan's head.

"You, don't you know that Rometheus loves to play the victim? Besides, we don't need much. The most important thing is to get Rometheus on board."

After listening to Daisy's words, Demulan also chose to remain silent. That was true, but it seemed that Rometheus had never pretended to be pitiful in front of her before. Seeing him in such a miserable state now, she felt a little sorry for him.

"Relax, relax. We have powerful backers, okay? What are you afraid of? Do you really think we can't handle someone like Hudson? With the way he's handling things right now, DeMullan, just you wait and see, his good days are about to end."

Just as Daisy had said in the meeting room, after waiting for a reply from Said without success, Hudson immediately called Youssef.

While Youssef was still contemplating whether to take advantage of Reis's current weakness to reclaim the two regions under Reis's control, he received a call from Hudson. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Youssef hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"Which one?"

After the call went through, Hudson didn't waste any time and directly stated his idea of ​​cooperating with them:

"Well, Mr. Yusef, if you're willing to cooperate with me, I'm sure I can give you a satisfactory answer. Besides, all I really want is for Reis's Longbow Valley to let me bring my soldiers over to suppress Demulan. No matter how you look at it, I think this is a sure-fire deal, right?"

After listening to Hudson's words, Youssef was initially surprised, and then began to ponder the cooperation that Hudson had mentioned. He hadn't expected that the person who first sought his cooperation to deal with Reiss was not Said, whom he had placed high hopes on, but Hudson, the latest person to be parachuted into Hafk's side.

“Mr. Hudson, I’m curious why you’ve come to me at this time. While I’m not interested in the current infighting within your Hafk Group, I think you should know that there’s a powerful force behind Reis.”

After listening to Yousef's concerns, Hudson silently pondered in his heart. This Yousef was indeed completely different from the previous Said. The old fox's demeanor was truly unpleasant.

"Regarding your statement, I actually have some understanding of the forces behind Reis. You can rest assured about this force; I am willing to provide them with more resources."

Chapter 773 Yusef: Looking for me? (2)

After thinking for a while, Hudson browsed through the available data on his computer and then, with a pained expression, added another layer of effort.

Most importantly, Hudson hadn't expected that Youssef would also know that the power behind Reis was extraordinary. Logically speaking, someone of Youssef's level shouldn't have been able to fathom the size of the power behind Reis!

Youssef: Indeed, but as you yourself said, logically speaking, if Reis hadn't directly handed me that truckload of gold bars last time, I really wouldn't think Reis could be that capable.

Youssef said that he had sensed something was wrong the moment Reis started acting strangely. After all, Reis and Said had become stronger after receiving the same resources, but their attitudes towards him immediately changed.

Not only has this Said maintained constant contact with us, but in our conversations, we haven't sensed any ambition for him to become king. Especially now that Said has spent a lot of the resources we've given him to vigorously develop agriculture at the dam, Yusuf can say that he has truly and completely lowered his guard against Said and the dam.

You should know that at the beginning, he had arranged for reconnaissance teams to patrol the Longbow Valley in Reis and the Zero Dam in Said. And just recently, Yusef trusted Said.

He immediately recalled all the soldiers patrolling the area near Dam Zero, and after hearing from the soldiers that they often saw Said and his confidants farming there during the day.

Youssef even called Said to remind him not to neglect his official duties because of his obsession with farming. It was only after Said explained that Sofia was there and the dam was alright that Youssef felt a little relieved.

Moreover, just recently, when Said's crops were ripe, he listened to Sofia's advice and sent some of the grain to Yousef free of charge.

Even this "tyrant" was so moved that he wanted to go over and present Said with an award. It's really hard to find such a good subordinate. Although Reis has done all sorts of bad things, it has to be said that this bastard has a really good eye for talent.

As for the opposite, Reiss, Yusef had noticed something was wrong with him a long time ago. At the time, he only assigned Reiss, who was the most capable subordinate under him, to guard and manage the auspicious land of Longbow Valley.

Unfortunately, after Reis became the leader of Longbow Valley, his attitude towards me gradually became more subtle, changing from being completely obedient to me.

The trigger for the conflict between him and Reis was the time when Reis asked him to help him fend off Demulan. After that incident, Youssef realized that he could no longer control Reis.

Looking at the resources he had at that time, it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. Yusef began to have the idea of ​​suppressing Reiss and taking back Longbow Valley at that time.

However, by then, Reis had already become a force to be reckoned with. With his own armed forces at the time, it would probably have to fight to the bitter end to defeat Reis, an outcome that Youssef clearly did not want to see.

Moreover, Reis was indeed very generous in giving him a bunch of gold bars. After struggling with his thoughts, Youssef decided to keep Reis for now, since their biggest enemy was Hafk.

At this time, the happiest person in his civil war with Reis must have been Hafk. Youssef knew the style of Hafk and his ilk all the time; they talked about peace all the time and wanted to seek cooperation.

However, once they start to show signs of bloodshed, Hafk will crush them at lightning speed. In Yusuf's view, the still immature Said is completely unable to withstand Hafk.

So when it came to Reis, he could only force himself to put it out of his mind. But the series of things Reis had gotten into during that time directly changed Yusef's mind.

However, since Hudson, as the nominal leader of Asara's side, has directly handed over the initiative, Youssef has indicated that he will not be polite. He will make you feel the pinch, otherwise you will think that you can just pick up Youssef whenever you want!

"Hehe, since you've put it that way, Mr. Hudson, let's have a proper chat. Although Reis is indeed lacking in manpower right now, you have to know that the soldiers under Reis's command are all dressed in full suits and using fully modified weapons."

"While I have the largest number of men, I can't even provide each soldier with three sets of equipment right now. I think the first issue is our weaponry and equipment..."

After hearing what Youssef said, Hudson, after careful calculation, gave his own reply:

“500 sets of three, paired with a half-modified SMG45; 200 sets of four, paired with a half-modified AK; as for five sets, Mr. Yousef, I think you know the value of this thing; 50 sets, a fully modified AK. This is the most I can offer right now.”

After saying these words, Hudson felt as if his heart was bleeding. Although he was rich, he had been the Minister of Efficiency for so long.

Knowing that he was constantly thinking about how to reduce costs and how to better exploit the soldiers, he felt a pang of heartache at having to give up so many resources.

"Hey! Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Hudson. This is just about weapons and equipment. To be honest, what you're giving isn't much, but seeing your determination, I'll reluctantly accept it for now."

Hearing this, Hudson was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth. This Yusef was really too greedy. So many things were worth a lot of Haff coins!

And most importantly, even after taking so much from me, Youssef is still not certain that he will be able to successfully take down that bastard Reis.

Hudson: Although I can accept the cost of failure, it still hurts me to think that all that money has been wasted like this!

Chapter 774 Yusef: Looking for me? (3)

"What do you mean? Isn't all this weaponry enough? Mr. Yousef, you can't be so greedy. You should know that you yourself have quite a lot of resources at your disposal."

When Hudson heard that Yusef wanted more than just that, he couldn't help but say, "This is like I'm begging him. Yusef is really taking advantage of me."

Hudson: I think I've really given you too much face. Now you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me.

"Ahem, Mr. Hudson, please don't get so agitated. Let's calm down a bit."

Youssef on the other end of the phone seemed to sense the displeasure in Hudson's tone, and subsequently gained a general understanding of Hudson's bottom line.

Yusuf: Tsk, is this Hudson some poor bastard? Even when Reese begged me for help, he had to have a truck to haul the gold away. And now I've only asked him for a fraction of what? Why is he baring his teeth?

"Mr. Hudson, think about it. Now that Reese has insufficient troops, how will he minimize his losses when faced with the troops I send out?"

"Just hold it. The terrain of Longbow Valley is relatively easy to defend, and besides, Reis still has so many tanks and planes..."

Hudson fell silent as he spoke, damn it, he'd gotten so worked up earlier that he'd spoken too fast.

"Hehehe, right? You said it yourself, I do have enough troops here right now, but when it comes to planes and tanks, I really don't even have half of what Reis has."

Seeing that Hudson had taken the bait, Youssef chuckled. Now that you've said all this yourself, how can you continue to pretend to be stupid and not show any remorse?

Hudson: Damn it! I must have been so angry with Desmulan and Daisy lately. If this were before, I would never have made such a stupid mistake!

Enraged, Hudson blamed everything on Daisy and Desmulan, believing that given his usual style of doing things, he would never be outmaneuvered by a mere Youssef.

"I can't give you an answer to this part right now. Let's leave it at that for now. I need to check the inventory. I'll give you an answer by this time tomorrow."

If Yusuf simply wanted weapons and equipment, Hudson could have sent his own cargo helicopters to deliver them.

However, if this were to actually meet Yusuf's needs for these tanks and aircraft, it would be a relatively troublesome matter for Hudson, since such ineffective losses would be a real waste in Hudson's eyes.

Moreover, when Hudson first considered cooperating with Said, he never imagined that he would have to provide equipment such as tanks and airplanes.

Hudson: Damn it, is this the difference between someone who's seen the world and someone who hasn't? If the person on the other side discussing all this with me right now were this Said, I feel like I wouldn't even need to give him all this weaponry.

Even if you praise Reis to the skies, he's still just a lamb waiting to die in Longbow Valley. Hudson doesn't believe Demulan won't make a move, but if Demulan and Daisy manage to capture Reis...

The final outcome was still very unfavorable to him. Not only could he not force Demulan to give him the land of Longbow Valley through his identity, but her influence would also continue to expand and deepen.

Hudson: Damn it, Daisy can't move again. If it weren't for her...

Meanwhile, Youssef couldn't help but laugh after hanging up the phone. It was as if Hudson had delivered a pillow to his head just because he was about to fall asleep.

Yusuf: As expected, Reis's luck has run out. He still wants to be the king of Asara? What a joke. I've already found some of the former royal nobles. There can only be one king of Asara.

Now that Youssef has kicked Reiss out of the circle, his position is very stable. Youssef has also said that he no longer needs to give his subordinates so much power in order to attract talent, as he did in the past.

Of course, there was an unexpected element to this. Faced with Said, a top-tier corporate slave who had absolutely no ambition and did whatever he was told, Yousef felt that he still owed him something.

After all, when Said led his men to Tide Prison to try and rescue the raven last time, he almost died inside!

Faced with Said, who was completely obedient to him and now shared his crops with him for free, Yousef was thinking that he should give him and his men more power in the future.

Thinking of this, Youssef picked up his phone, which was still on and hadn't been turned off, and made a video call to Said. This time, he was actually a little unsure, as he knew very little about Reiss.

The call to Said was also to see if he could get Said to help him out, but of course, Yousef was prepared to be questioned and rejected by Said.

After all, Said and Reis are still allies at the moment, so this time, Youssef wanted to use this phone call to find out Said's thoughts and how much strength Reis still had.

Meanwhile, Said, who was still in the fields, received a call from Yousef. Said was a little surprised when he saw the call. It wasn't even the end of the month yet, so why was Yousef calling him?

Said: Could it be that something bad is coming my way again? After all, they never seem to think of me when there's something good. Oh well, maybe Yusef is sending me something again!

"Hey, Commander Yousef, is it something important that you're calling me on video at this hour?"

Chapter 775 A Test from Yousef

Seeing Said still wearing a mask and doing farm work under the blazing sun, Yousef remained silent for two seconds before telling him to find a shady spot first.

Yusuf: This is mainly because... it hurts my eyes.

After Sayed found a tree to sit under, Yousef said:

“Said, while it’s true that you’re doing a great job developing agriculture around the dam, I still have to remind you that you also need to pay attention to the dam’s armed forces.”

In Youssef's mind, the dam, with his and Reis's "strong support," seems to have only just reached the point where everyone can have enough to eat.

However, considering that Said had spent all his money on agriculture, Yousef no longer questioned why Said's apparent strength was still so weak.

If Youssef and Reiss could sit down and properly discuss the accounts now, they might discover that something is amiss.

However, considering the current relationship between Youssef and Reis, even if they were to go over the accounts, they probably wouldn't believe it, since both of them secretly believe that Said should have a better relationship with their side.

"Don't worry, Yousef. I've already started a plan to equip every soldier on our dam with three sets of gear and a half-modified Uzi. We're almost self-sufficient in agriculture and food now."

Said also told Yousef about the data he had discussed with Sofia, saying that they couldn't make their side too poor, otherwise Yousef would become suspicious and come to check.

Sayed: I haven't painted the exterior of this administration building, so it still looks the same as before. But this hotel is already built, and it really cost me a lot of money back then.

After hearing Said's plan, Youssef couldn't help but complain in his heart that the dam was indeed too poor. After all, although his equipment was not as good as that of the rich man Reis.
