Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Seeing that he really couldn't escape now, Silverwing simply lay down on the sofa like he was giving up and said to Red Wolf:
"Kid, you want to get information from me, right? Of course, no problem. But you also know just how valuable information is in this era!"
Red Wolf frowned upon hearing this. It seemed that this old fox wasn't planning to tell him the information he knew so easily.
"Tell me what you want. If you want to escape, then there's no need for us to talk anymore."
Silverwing chuckled and shook his head, then calmly pointed to Uluru, who was sipping his drink and watching them, and said:
"Don't think so badly of me, old man. I'm just a little thirsty. That young man's wine smells really good. Do you have any more?"
After hearing Silverwing's words, everyone looked in Uluru's direction. In an instant, Uluru, who had been happily drinking his wine, was now being stared at by several pairs of eyes.
Uluru: Seriously? I was just having a little drink, how did this get dragged into this? Can this old man even drink such strong liquor?
But seeing that everyone else was looking in his direction, Uluru obediently shook his nearly empty flask and said:
"Don't look at me like that. I don't even have much left. Instead of using what I have left, why don't you let Xiao Hao make something new?"
Seeing this, Zhang Hao could only run over and mix a drink for Silverwing, which was then handed to him by Red Wolf.
After taking a sip, Silverwing couldn't help but show a look of enjoyment. This kid really was as mysterious as the intelligence reports described; even his bartending was so perfect.
Silverwing: What I didn't expect was that this kid's combat skills were actually so high. You know, I thought he was just a mascot in this special operations unit.
After carefully considering it, Silverwing opened his eyes and looked at Red Wolf as he introduced himself, word by word:
"Landon Harrison, codename Silverwing, former GTI intelligence chief, and going back further, he's your father Carl Houston's sworn brother. It's normal that you don't recognize me, but little wolf cub, I've been watching you all along."
Upon hearing Silverwing's words, the other members of the Special Operations Department also showed expressions of surprise. The old man in front of them was actually the former intelligence chief of GTI. You have to know that anyone who can serve in that external post for so long is a tough nut to crack!
Chapter 804 You're Still More Mysterious
"Is my father's death... somehow related to the Hafk Group?"
Silverwing showed no surprise at the question posed by Red Wolf; he knew without even guessing what the kid wanted to ask him.
“Kid, I know you must be feeling really conflicted right now, but I can tell you that your father’s death is indeed related to Hafk.”
After hearing from Silverwing that his father's death was indeed related to Hafk, Red Wolf clenched his fists. Sure enough, his previous guess was correct; his father's death was indeed related to Hafk.
Seeing that Red Wolf had fallen silent once again, Silverwing couldn't help but speak up to comfort him:
"Don't worry, kid, we will avenge your father, but do you know that this involves a lot of things, and those are not things you can handle right now?"
Silverwing reached out and patted Red Wolf on the shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and whispered:
“If your father were still alive, he would be proud of what you have done. I also know that you caused the mission to fail because you tried to protect your teammates. Silva, you are a great man, just like your father.”
Silverwing said he would never forget the time when he and Red Wolf's father were on the Black Hawk Down mission in Asara. When he was in despair, it was Carl Houston who found him in the crowd and brought him back to the base.
"But kid, I also want to remind you, and you guys can listen in too."
As if struck by a sudden thought, Silverwing abruptly turned the others over and instructed them:
"You need to remember this: some of the intelligence given to you by the GTI leadership, that is, your commander, is not entirely accurate. Those bastards are capable of concealing some information from you in order to achieve their goals."
"You know, after I became the head of intelligence, I witnessed a lot of the dirty tricks of those GTI executives. Those people are really ruthless. But luckily you have a veteran like Deep Blue here, so you shouldn't have run into such serious problems."
Everyone recalled that Deep Blue would always check the information given to them by the commander alone in the room. It seems that Instructor Deep Blue knew the nature of those high-ups a long time ago, which is why he would carefully verify it himself every time.
After finishing his story, Silverwing narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Hao, who was being attacked by Mai Xiaowen and Luna. This kid's strength was completely different from the information he had gathered before. It seemed that Deep Blue was intentionally "hiding" his strength.
"Hey Hao, speaking of your strength... has it always been this strong, or did it suddenly become stronger recently? You know, when I was secretly looking at the information about you that Deep Blue reported to GTI, I was thinking of you as someone in charge of logistics."
When Zhang Hao heard Silverwing say this, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. It seemed that even the intelligence expert on GTI's side didn't know about his true information. However, this was extremely beneficial to him, since if he were exposed to the public eye now, it would definitely not be good for China's image.
Zhang Hao: After all, he has now become Asara's strategist. It's best not to let those people know about this identity, otherwise even Brother Weilong and the others will probably be affected.
"Oh, Uncle Silverwing, I'm constantly training too. Naturally, there will be some differences between this and the information you saw. After all, your information also has time differences, doesn't it?"
Looking at the somewhat cunning Zhang Hao in front of him, Silver Wing couldn't help but smile helplessly. He was quite the little rascal. Speaking of which, it seems that Red Wolf is not young anymore. Judging from the current state of this kid, it seems that all these women have some kind of relationship with him.
Silverwing: Sigh, this Red Wolf is really pathetic. He doesn't even look like Xiao Hao. But his appearance... well, that's something you can't force. I have nothing more to say.
"By the way, Sister Zoya, did Uncle Shenlan say when he'll be back today?"
At this moment, Zhang Hao also asked Zoya where Shen Lan was. It was almost lunchtime, and it was important to find out if Uncle Shen Lan was coming back for dinner.
"On the way back, I asked Old Deng, and he should be able to get back before lunchtime. Right now... he should still be on the plane."
Seeing this, Zhang Hao nodded and said that he would just make something simple for lunch and show off his cooking skills to this old man Silverwing.

Meanwhile, at the spaceport dock, in Hudson's office...
"Reporting to the boss, according to the information relayed back by our agents in Demulan, something seems to have happened at the space station. The preliminary assessment is that the ordinary fuel was insufficient to support the operation of the space station and the return of the personnel."
Upon hearing this news, Hudson's eyes flashed with excitement. Finally... finally, he was about to get what he'd been waiting for!
"Hehehe, very good. This Demulan and that Daisy have always looked down on our Dark Star fuel, but now that such a big problem has arisen, this is exactly the opportunity I have been waiting for!"
Thinking of Demulan's anxious appearance, Hudson felt a surge of secret satisfaction. Demulan had been resisting his Dark Star Fuel all along.
Now it seems that this is the perfect opportunity I've been longing for—to prove myself as the fuel of the dark star!
"It's not time to go directly to Demulan and negotiate. This is only the initial stage of the problem. That silly woman Demulan will definitely try to fill the hole first. When she realizes that this hole can't be filled no matter what, that's when I'll go to her..."
Chapter 805 Space Station 36 is in trouble
Hudson couldn't help but smile wickedly. Sure enough, he had just been unlucky during that period. Otherwise, with his outstanding abilities, how could he have suffered a setback at Demulan's hands?
Then he thought about how his cooperation with Youssef was gradually coming to an end, and that once all his equipment had been delivered to Youssef's side...
That troublemaker Reiss is pretty much done for; he won't need to spend money and resources to hire Asara's natives to work for him anymore.
Yusuf: 666, this is the face of a capitalist. When you came to me seeking cooperation before, you didn't say this at all. You were quite polite back then.
Seeing that everything on his side was gradually getting back on track, Hudson, in a good mood, put on his vinyl record in his office after sending the Haffk soldier back, and started humming along to the melody.
With Hudson so happy right now, Demoulins is certainly not in a similarly cheerful mood.
At this moment, Demulan was frowning as he looked at the report about the space station that Mary had handed him. After seeing the report mentioning insufficient energy and other problems, large and small, Demulan asked:
"Why would there be a shortage of energy? If this continues, the 36th space station will simply crash in space."
Demulan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. This situation was a true godsend for Hudson.
You should know that this bastard has always wanted to prove that the Dark Star fuel developed by his family can replace the rocket fuel that Hafk has been using.
However, Demulan also understood that Hudson was simply planning to make a fortune for his family with this dark star fuel, since the assets owned by the Hafk Group could be described as being comparable to those of a country.
However, the dark star fuel that he is now so eager to promote is nothing more than a semi-finished product that has not yet been tested, despite how wonderful he made it sound during the meeting.
Anyway, at the time, she and Daisy both agreed that the product would not be used unless it had undergone a series of safety inspections and tests.
However, the current situation in Asara is that the authority to launch rockets and satellites is still in Demulan's hands, and Hudson must get past Demulan if he wants to conduct experiments.
So, since Hudson arrived in Asara, the barrel of Dark Star fuel has remained in his private cellar.
After all, the Dark Star fuel relies on an inertial confinement nuclear fusion device, and its kinetic energy comes from the enormous energy released by the deuterium-tritium reaction.
Hudson wasn't confident enough to store such unstable items directly in his estate's warehouse, after all, it hadn't undergone safety verification. Although he trusted his scientists' assurances, what if...?
Now, this is the opportunity that Hudson has been waiting for. This time, all the energy and safety components, big and small, in Space Station 36 have malfunctioned. Now that Hudson has learned of this, he will definitely come to recommend his Dark Star Fuel.
And now that things have come to this, if Hudson tries to aggressively promote his Dark Star fuel at this point, the pressure will inevitably fall on his side.
DeMullan: Damn it, just thinking about the look on Hudson's face after he found out makes me so angry.
"Mary, you can go now. I need to go find Daisy."
Demulan simply picked up the stack of information about Space Station 36 from the table and went directly to Daisy's office through the small door of his own office.
"Wow, seriously? I haven't even finished approving this yet, and you've brought over another bunch of documents? Demulan, what have I ever done to you? I feel like you hate me more than that Hudson guy?"
At this moment, Daisy, who was still reviewing the documents with a look of utter despair as she transformed into a cow or a horse, stood up as if she had been startled when she saw Demulan coming over with another pile of documents.
He then put on a "I'd rather die than do it" expression and looked at Demulan. Although his overworked appearance was an act, he really didn't want to work anymore.
Daisy: Sigh, what was I thinking when I was young? I should have just worked my way up through seniority and used my connections with Jacob to get into management. I was too arrogant back then. Now, people with ability are really being ruthlessly destroyed.
"Alright, stop complaining to me. This time, something happened at Space Station 36."
Upon seeing Demulan's slightly serious and somewhat depressed expression, Daisy stopped her tantrum. Sigh, it seems this peaceful period is about to end again. This is really...difficult!
"Bring me the documents. As usual, briefly tell me what happened."
Although she and Demulan had anticipated that something would happen to Space Station 36, seeing Demulan's expression meant that the situation had likely exceeded their expectations.
After Demulan finished explaining everything about Space Station 36, Daisy closed her eyes and leaned back to think.
"Daisy, this dark star fuel is highly radioactive. To put it bluntly, it's trading the future for the present. What should we do now?"
Demulan looked at Daisy with a worried expression and said that although they had joked before that Hudson should take the dark star fuel up there to try it out, and that after it exploded in space, the GTI should report the incident to the United Nations.
Once the UN sanctions are in place, even if you, Hudson, are the largest board member at Hafk, you'll have to obediently run back to the United States.
But now that this matter has actually fallen on his own shoulders, Demulan realizes that it is not as simple as he had thought. If Hudson's Dark Star fuel is sent up for testing and succeeds...
Then this dark star fuel will become Hudson's core bargaining chip in his power grab, and he will gradually gain control of the entire space base.
Chapter 806 Demulan's Troubles
“Demulan, we need to look at this matter from multiple perspectives. From the perspective of power, once the Dark Star fuel resolves this crisis, Hudson will definitely seize a lot of power over the space base in one fell swoop.”
Unlike Desmulan, who looked worried, Daisy remained calm and composed, and began to analyze the situation with Desmulan in a leisurely manner.
"And the most important thing right now, which is exactly what you've been worried about, is that this dark star fuel is extremely unstable. No one can guarantee whether it will explode after it's sent into space."
Demulan nodded repeatedly in agreement. This was indeed the fatal problem. As the safety director of the space station, she would never gamble with this. If the dark star fuel exploded due to instability, the entire crew of Space Station 36 would die in the tragedy.
Upon hearing Demulan's words, Daisy swallowed the words she was about to say, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes where Demulan didn't notice.
Daisy: Oh, my silly best friend who's full of a sense of justice, don't you know how we, the Hudson family, are positioned? We're very legitimate capitalists in the outside world. If we can really get Hudson to take the blame this time, these sacrifices are actually acceptable, okay?
But now that Desmoulins has made this statement, Daisy has stopped expressing the thoughts she had been wanting to tell her.
If Demulan knew that he could actually accept tampering with Space Station 36 and having it blown up, he'd probably be grabbing him by the collar right now and questioning why he did it.
