Having experienced this many times, Said immediately realized that Xiao Hao didn't need to greet him at all. In any case, almost everyone at the dam knew Xiao Hao, the strategist.

And of course, there's Roy, that loudmouth...

So, the only reason Xiao Hao would call him this time is because someone from Hafk's side wants to seek cooperation. Said asked Zhang Hao about this further.

“That’s right, Uncle Said, but this time it’s not Aunt Demulan who’s looking for you. This time it’s Uncle Geheros who says he wants to come to your Zero Dam to discuss some things with us.”

When Said heard that the person they had found to cooperate with was actually Gherros, even he was a little surprised. What a rare guest! Indeed, he hadn't heard the name Gherros for a long time.

"Don't worry, Xiao Hao. You can just drive in when the time comes. I'll catch the raven then, so don't worry about it."

After Sayed confirmed that everything was fine, Zhang Hao called Geheros back, and the two arranged a meeting place for the next day.

"Phew, Uncle Geheros has already come out of the Tide Prison and joined the battle? I wonder what the situation is like on Hafk's side now. By the way, Aunt Demulan sent a message to me and Uncle Said saying that we can stop the Crimson Owl Hunt. I wonder if it's because it's no longer useful."

Considering how much had happened in such a short time, Zhang Hao couldn't help but worry about Demulan. After all, it seemed that Hudson was putting a lot of pressure on them.

This is because Zhang Hao is unaware of what's happening inside Space Station 36; otherwise, he would probably be rushing to Deep Blue to inform him of it by now.

This involves so many lives, and logically speaking, it falls under the jurisdiction of GTI.

"Report! Boss Reis, our sentries spotted what appears to be a car leaving Tide Prison today, and the entire outer perimeter of the defenses has shrunk back significantly. Is there any possibility that...?"

"You mean the warden of that Tide Prison is gone?"

And now, Reis (with Kai Zhi) followed up on what the soldier Asara said, saying that this possibility was indeed very high. After all, it was only when the warden was not around that the Tide Prison would abandon some of its external defenses in order to strengthen its internal defenses.

"Damn, this is indeed a very good opportunity, and it's getting late. Has that car returned yet?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier from Asara quickly shook his head.

"Boss Reese, our men saw that the car went out and never came back, so we dared to wonder if the warden had gone out this time."

After hearing that the car hadn't returned, Reis stroked his beard and began to think. Maybe the warden had been summoned to a meeting in Demoulins.

Normally, if he could rush in and release the Asara people with lightning speed, the place would probably be in complete chaos without the warden in charge.

Reese: Ugh... Why am I being asked to gamble again? I really don't want to gamble, but oh well, I guess I'll have to!

"Go, start having our men prepare tonight. This time, get all the tanks and planes ready. We have plenty of those things here."

After thinking for a moment, Reese continued:

"Have those people still in Tide Prison keep an eye on things. If that car hasn't returned by 11 o'clock, we'll launch the attack first thing tomorrow morning!"

After giving all the instructions, Reis couldn't help but look out the window.

"Yousef, you better wash your neck and wait, I'm not as fragile as you think."

Chapter 812 Picking Up People

Reis didn't think about it any further; he was afraid that the more he thought about it, the less he would dare to go.

Reese: Damn it, I really don't want to admit it, but the last time I went to Tide Prison, it really gave me psychological trauma. I almost ended up there!

Reese thought back to the time he took Barton to the space base to decipher the Mandel Brick, and he felt that even then, he almost got trapped by those two from Demulan.

But it's different from the time in Tide Prison. After all, back then I just appeared in front of those people with a bang, with Hafk in front and GTI behind.

If I hadn't betrayed my teammates so quickly that time, I don't know which cell I'd be locked up in right now! Maybe, given how dangerous I am, I might actually become roommates with that Prince Asara!

Reis: Hehehe, Prince Asara only gets to stay in a VIP room because of his noble status, but if I were to go to that Tide Prison, I reckon my treatment wouldn't be much worse.

Demulan: Hehe, if you go to the Tide Prison, you can rest assured. We've known each other for so long, I'll make sure that Geheros takes good care of you.

"No, this time I need to have a backup plan. I absolutely can't let myself almost die like last time. This time, I need to figure out a way out for myself..."

After servicing his S12K with gun oil, Reese sat alone in his office and couldn't help but recall his painful past.

After reflecting on why his previous operation had failed, Reis decided to prepare a backup plan for himself this time. Even if he couldn't get those people out, he had to make sure he didn't die inside.

"Damn it, we should ask that idiot Hamk about this. That trash is useless at everything except running away. If it weren't for Demulan blocking him from behind last time, we really wouldn't have been able to take down that bastard."

But thinking about how he had just finished with his pleasure and then dumped it on Said, and considering Said's temper, Hamk's grave was probably already overgrown with wildflowers by now.

"Barton... well, now I really can only rely on myself. But isn't this just running away? For me, Asara's most perfect man, it's a piece of cake!"

After passing on Hamk, Reese habitually thought of Barton again, but after saying the word Barton, Reese realized that he had long since lost Barton in the Tide Prison.

Frustrated, Reese could only scratch his head and start thinking about his own way out.

Time flew by and the next day arrived...

It was just dawn, and Hudson had only just opened his eyes from his luxurious bed.

At this time, our Geheros had already met up with Zhang Hao in the Ouroboros district, and then the two of them took the same car and headed toward Dam Zero, where Said was located.

On the road, looking at Zhang Hao, who was tense and gripping the steering wheel tightly, Geheros couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Xiao Hao hadn't driven much before, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

"Xiao Hao, don't you usually drive much? Your driving skills seem quite rusty."

Zhang Hao smiled a little embarrassedly after hearing this. He actually preferred driving the all-terrain vehicle. This was mainly because when he mentioned wanting to learn to drive before, Sister Zoya and Brother Weilong confidently offered to teach him.

The end result is that Zhang Hao now trembles whenever he gets in a car, out of genuine fear, since the first lesson these two taught him was to floor the accelerator.

Zhang Hao: Waaaaah, I never drove more than 100 km/h in my driving school days in my past life. I've almost forgotten all of that now, and the first lesson I'm learning is to floor the gas pedal.

Zhang Hao was thinking that since he was going to pick up Geheros to go to the dam, it wouldn't look good if he drove an all-terrain vehicle to pick him up, so he drove a small car instead.

"Hehe, it's okay, drive slowly. Everyone starts from scratch. When you have free time, you can practice more on the plains of Asara. Now, because of the war, the whole of Asara has become desolate."

As he spoke, Geheros turned to look at the scenery outside the window. Along the way, he had seen many abandoned and deserted villages, and Geheros couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This is my home, but I failed to protect it. At first, I thought I would go to GTI to see if I could find a solution.

However, in the end, not only did he fail to find a solution, he was also directly wanted by GTI, and he had no choice but to flee back to Asara and seek refuge with the Hafk Group.

"Don't worry, Uncle Geheros, Uncle Said and the others have been working hard for Asara. The day when Asara is liberated is definitely not far away!"

Seeing that Gheros seemed a bit emotional, Zhang Hao quickly comforted him. It seemed that Uncle Gheros really did think the same way he did, and his desire to make Asara better had never changed.

"Xiao Hao, you may not know this, but when I was young, Asara had just reached a cooperation agreement with the Hafk Group. During that period, Asara was developing rapidly in both economy and technology."

"We have traded rare earth elements and rare metals for a better life. You should know that even now, our electricity supply here is only possible thanks to the Hafk Group."

Regarding what Gherlos said, Zhang Hao said that he already knew about it from Said's side, but he still had some doubts. What was the mentality of Yousef, the culprit who caused all this, to do such a thing?

"In my opinion, the real culprit is not Youssef, but the greed in people's hearts."

Chapter 813 You're Not a Good Leader

After hearing Zhang Hao's question, Geheros paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

Ultimately, all of this stems from human greed. Later on, as knowledge spread, the people of Asara gradually came to understand the value of these rare earth elements and rare metals.

These enlightened Asara nobles gradually became dissatisfied with the Hafk Group's continuous mining of mineral resources. In their eyes, Asara was still the one suffering losses, completely forgetting what kind of life the people of Asara would be living without Hafk's help.

Youssef was merely someone who took advantage of the infighting within the Asara royal family at the time. Even if Youssef hadn't stood up to overthrow the royal family and confront the Hafk group, someone else would have become Youssef.

After listening to what Geheros had to say, Zhang Hao gained a better understanding of the story between the two sides. In the midst of their casual conversation, Zhang Hao drove the car, albeit with some bumps and jolts, to the dam.

"Xiao Hao, you're driving well, but you need to practice controlling the brakes more. Is there a trash can here? I ate something greasy this morning, and I feel a bit nauseous now."

After getting out of the passenger seat, Geheros forced himself to maintain his composure and, led by Zhang Hao, went to the trash can.

Gheros, who had been holding it in with an air of seriousness the whole way, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting into a trash can.

Zhang Hao: Wow, Uncle Geheros is really good at holding back! I didn't see him looking like he was about to throw up the whole way. I thought I was a really good driver.

"Xiao Hao! And... Lord Geheros?"

Meanwhile, Said, who had seen Xiao Hao arrive from the administration building, came down with Raven and Abel to greet the two. However, as they got closer, Said and the others saw Gherros, who was still standing by the trash can, not having recovered.

"Hahahaha, Geheros? I never thought you'd be in this situation! I never imagined our esteemed Warden would get carsick. Tsk tsk tsk, you've gotten quite a bit weaker since I last saw you, Geheros!"

Upon seeing Gherros's appearance, the raven standing behind Said did not hold back its mockery and began spewing trash talk at him.

However, after being glanced at by Said, Raven seemed to be suppressed. After pouting, it stopped talking and retreated to the side with a displeased look.

This scene was also witnessed by Geheros, who looked at Said, who was also wearing a mask, with a strange gaze.

"Let's go up first, have some water and clear our throats."

After hearing what Saeed said, Zhang Hao and Geheros nodded in agreement. The parking lot was indeed not a good place to chat. The group then returned to Saeed's office.

After taking a sip of the water Sofia offered him, Geheros recovered.

“Sorry for making this a laughing stock. Let me introduce myself. I am Gherros, an Asara, and now the warden of Tide Prison.”

After tidying up, Geheros extended his hand to Said and introduced himself. Raven, watching the two shake hands, showed a hint of disdain. Hmph, two annoying guys.

"Hello, Saeed, leader of Dam Zero. I wonder what brings you here today, Lord Gherros, to discuss?"

Seeing that the two people, who were clearly extremely rude, were still putting on an act, Raven's expression became quite varied.

“Well, I did come here this time to discuss some things with you and Raven. Finally, there’s the cooperation between Asara and Hafk. I’d like Xiao Hao to take a middle ground with GTI and give us some advice.”

Geheros nodded, and then began to explain his plan...

The reason Gherros came to see Said was actually to see if he could transfer some of the Raven Faction members from his Tide Prison to Said's place.

Although Geheros had been living in the Tide Prison as if he were isolated from the world, he had been keeping track of news from the outside world.

Just like what happened not long ago, Gherros had some knowledge of it while in the Tide Prison. At this moment, Gherros's intuition also told him that the battle situation in Asara could be described as very chaotic.

Regardless of whether it's Reis or Youssef who loses their temper first, it will inevitably affect Dam Zero in the end.

What Geheros was thinking coincided with what Zhang Hao had discussed with Said. Although neither of them had communicated about this matter, they both agreed to place the task of ending the harvest on Said.

Firstly, in the eyes of Youssef and Reis, Said has always been a "good boy," and Geheros also knows that it is precisely this kind of person who usually seems harmless who hurts the most when he strikes someone in the back.

The difference is that, unlike Zhang Hao, Geheros doesn't know the true strength of Said's side. So this time, Geheros also plans to have Said eliminate both of them while Youssef and Reis are fighting.

“I saw your description in the intelligence that Demulan gave me before, Said. You are a good person, but you are not a good leader.”

However, after expressing his thoughts, Geheros abruptly changed his tone and stared directly into Said's eyes.
