To prevent Youssef from doubting him, Patton practically swore an oath to God on the spot.

“I see… No wonder you’ve sided with Said. Compared to that bastard Reis, our old Said is like heaven and earth.”

Meanwhile, Youssef kept his eyes fixed on Patton's eyes. Having seen countless people, he could tell that Patton was not lying when he said those words, so he nodded and said...

"Hehe, Yusef, I'm actually a little embarrassed by your praise."

Said chuckled at this, then expressed his satisfaction with Patton, before looking at Youssef and saying:

"Chief Yusuf, do you know that Reiss is preparing to launch a final, fierce attack on you?"

Upon hearing Said's words, Yousef, who had been smiling, also stopped smiling. Was Said really bringing this matter up so directly?

But this is indeed Saeed's consistent style, after all, Saeed is not a cunning person.

Chapter 830 Said: Changing Locations (2)

Yusef: And Said doesn't have that kind of cunning, so I'm quite at ease with him. Even if he were smart, it would be the girlfriend he chose. I heard from his men that she's a college graduate.

Upon hearing Said's words, Youssef looked quite surprised, and then asked Said somewhat urgently:

"Really? Said, are you sure you're not joking with me? What's gotten into Reis suddenly, wanting to cause me trouble?"

Upon seeing Yousef's "surprised" expression, Said couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Neither of these two is easy to deal with."

What's the point of pretending in front of him now? Everyone in Asara knows that Reis has feelings for you. Although he may not seem very bright to outsiders, your behavior is still quite disrespectful.

Seemingly noticing the speechless look in Said's eyes, Youssef chuckled awkwardly twice, then explained that he had only been trying to lighten the mood, since it was easy for conversations with Said to fall silent.

"I had actually suspected this a long time ago, but I've been wondering if Reiss might change his mind. After all, you, as a smart man, must know why he's attacking me now."

Seeing that Said had already laid out his hand to him, Yousef had no intention of continuing to pretend he knew nothing and trying to glean any other information from Said.

After all, this time Said specifically brought this person who had always followed Reis, and if he remembered correctly, this person named Barton was Reis's butler.

Barton: That's called a strategist! I'm a strategist! Not some butler for Reiss. I gave Reisss a lot of good ideas back in Longbow Valley, you know? And I brought about quite a few reforms to Longbow Valley back then!

Now that Said has brought this person along, it means that Said has brought his sincerity. So now... it's up to us.

Yusuf: But as for what I have on my side... it seems the only thing I can do is try to get Said to join us from the moral high ground.

“You know about Said, we’ve been working hard to liberate Asara, but this Reis is a villain among the people. Isn’t his goal to become emperor?”

Youssef also chose to prioritize suppressing Reis on a moral level, after all, he knew that Reis could give him what he probably couldn't, but he knew what Said was thinking!

“I know that. I went to see Reis this morning. He promised me that if I helped him, he would give me a reward I couldn’t refuse. So, Youssef, I came here this time, firstly to tell you about this so that you can be prepared.”

"Secondly, I also want to know your attitude towards Reis. I hope you can answer me truthfully, because this is directly related to whether I will join your battlefield later."

Upon hearing this, Youssef couldn't help but curse Reis inwardly. This shameless guy was indeed starting to tempt Said with material things.

Fortunately, it seems that Said is not very interested in the conditions that Reis mentioned. It seems that he came to ask about Said's willingness to go to war with Reis.

After much deliberation, just as Youssef looked up at Said, preparing to say something, Said stood up abruptly, also calling out to Abel:

"Commander Yousef, you can discuss the specifics with Patton. Patton will take notes. We'll need to have a meeting to discuss your answer later."

Saeed pointed to Barton, who looked helpless as he pulled the documents out of his backpack, and then said:

"To be honest, Yusuf, I haven't been around here in a long time. I'll just show my men around first!"

Seeing this, Yousef initially wondered if Sayyid looked down on him and sent Patton to hand over the duties. However, he also recalled Sayyid's cleverness and could only manage to utter:

"Um...should I call a tour guide for you?"

Saeed then waved to Yusuf:

"What do I need a tour guide for? I spent just as much time here back then, I'm not so sure I've forgotten about this place."

After saying that, Said and Abel started cosplaying as street thugs on Youssef's turf. For a moment, only Barton and Youssef remained in the office.

"Please, Commander Youssef. I will record all the useful information you have to say. Also, if I may be so bold, I suggest that you stop hiding anything from us, such as who you are cooperating with. I hope we can be more honest with each other."

Just as Youssef was preparing to use his status to put some pressure on the guy named Barton on the other side, making things easier for him, he didn't expect that Barton would give him such a rude awakening first.

Yusuf: Isn't that right? Aren't you just a lowly clerk next to Said? How come your aura suddenly skyrocketed?

"No? You're coming from..................."

Before Youssef could finish speaking, Barton held up one finger, gesturing for silence.

"Shh... Commander Youssef, let's not argue about some things anymore. We've come here with the utmost sincerity. Boss Said may not be too keen on this, but as his subordinate, I think we should still fight for some things, don't you think?"

Yusuf: Are you threatening me? You definitely are threatening me! Damn it, these days even the slightest Tom, Dick, or Harry can jump around in front of me!

Chapter 831 Guess why?

Unlike the bloody chaos inside the room, Said and Abel were strolling happily outside, their faces beaming with joy.

"Oh my, it's been a long time since I've been here. You know, I fought my way up from here back in the day. Rhys, too, although he was a bastard, his fighting skills were the best among our group back then."

Looking at those former buildings, Said couldn't help but sigh, recalling how he used to be filled with rage, vowing to make Hamk and the Hafk Group pay the price.

Now, he has avenged his father's death, and after learning the truth, he has chosen to believe Xiao Hao and is willing to reach a peaceful cooperation with him.

"Look, Abel, you don't know, but I had a real fight with that Reis right here in this training ground. After that, Reis started to admire me for some reason, and later I successfully became the leader of Dam Zero."

At this moment, Said pointed to a training ground not far away where a group of soldiers were training. A look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. Back then, everything in Asara was not like it is now, and Yusef and Reis had not yet shown their ambition.

Back then, I was so naive that I really thought Reis and Youssef genuinely wanted to liberate Asara, and that Reis was just a little lacking in personality and attitude.

But looking at it now, Reiss has completely stopped acting, while Youssef still puts on a show for a while. Now, only he himself is still stubbornly holding on.

Said: But luckily, I'm the one with the best vision and intelligence among these people, and I just happened to perfectly latch onto Xiao Hao's coattails.

Whenever he thought of this, Saidna would be filled with pride. If Reis or Yousef knew about his actions, they would definitely ridicule him severely.

But none of that mattered to Said. After all, only he knew how good it was to cling to Xiao Hao's coattails. Now, he was not only very clear about his future plans, but he had also managed to build a good relationship with Demulan, who was supposed to be his mortal enemy.

In Said's view, this step was extremely important. After all, cooperating with Hafk in this way, with both sides making concessions and each getting what they needed, was the best outcome for Asara at present.

After all, what Asara wanted was resources, while what Asara needed was the technology and science from Hafk's side. So now, facing the prospect of gaining final control over Asara, Said felt somewhat emotional. This could be considered what Xiao Hao called "stealing a chicken"!

Raven: 666, you secretly prepared so many weapons and equipment on your dam top, and you're still complaining about your weak population. To be honest, your scale is about the same as Yusuf's.

"Hey Boss Said, are we just going to put Barton and Youssef together alone? What if Youssef puts pressure on Barton... Shouldn't we go back and check what's going on?"

Looking at Said, who remained calm, Abel, who was following behind, became somewhat worried about Barton, who was still in the room confronting and outwitting Youssef.

"Don't worry, Patton is very capable. At least in handling this kind of thing, he is definitely better than the two of us, and much better."

When faced with Abel's concerns, Said remained calm, suggesting that Abel needed to calm down first. He then led him to a tree and explained the situation to him:

"Besides, let me tell you, don't be fooled by how serious and earnest this Yusef looks in front of you now. When he really gets shameless, I'm telling you, he's not much different from Reis."

Hearing his boss say such things about someone on Yousef's turf, Abel was so frightened that he immediately stuck his head out and looked around, afraid that his conversation with Said might be overheard by others.

"Shh... Boss Said, it's not appropriate for us to talk about them like that on their turf."

Seeing Abel's cowardly appearance, Said rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. Abel had been with him for so long, and although he might be a little bolder than before, in Said's opinion, he was still lacking.

Said: If it were Reis standing in front of him right now, he would have already started cursing at Yusuf in front of him. With Abel's cowardice, he would probably be scared to death.

"Come on, look at you, you're really embarrassing our dam. Let me tell you, if I were still in there, Patton wouldn't be able to fully unleash his potential."

Patton, quite appropriately, gave Said a puzzled look. Why weren't they in that office anymore? Did that mean Patton was completely freed?

"Are you stupid? If I were still in there, and I made any slightly excessive demands, Youssef would definitely skip Patton and throw the problem directly at me."

"But we're not here to seek cooperation with him. I haven't even broken ties with Yousef yet, or I'll end up in an embarrassing situation, you know?"

Saeed then transformed into a very experienced politician and began to explain to Abel, who was severely unbalanced in his studies, the things that Zhang Hao had specifically emphasized to him before.

Said: Hehehe, I didn't think of these things at first, but luckily, Xiao Hao and Sophia told me the solution after talking for a while. I have to say, it's pretty cool to see Abel looking at me with such admiration now!

"It's about time, so we can head back now. By the time we get there, they should have finished handing over the details."

Said checked the time and, finding it was about time, led Abel back to the house they had been looking for.

Chapter 832 Going Back to Discuss (1)

"Is it all done yet?"

After strolling back to the room where Yousef was, Sayyid knocked on the door and walked in.

The scene before him left Said, who was used to all the hardships of life, completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Barton was looking relaxed as he checked the conversation record between him and Youssef. After confirming the important information with Youssef, he put it all back into the backpack he had brought.

However, Youssef, sitting opposite Patton, was not in such a pleasant mood, and his frustration was clearly visible on his face.

Upon seeing Said enter, Yousef couldn't help but say:

“Said, you’ve really gained a very good subordinate. This guy wasn’t this sharp-tongued when he was with Reis.”

Upon hearing Yusuf's words, Said secretly exchanged a glance with Abel. After seeing the look of surprise flash across Abel's eyes, Said revealed a very satisfied expression behind his mask.

"Hehe, that just means I'm lucky, and you don't need to make that face, Yusef. After all, the gap between us before was quite large, wasn't it?"

Said also chose to delay Yousef's departure once again, since there was no need for him to be ungrateful after gaining an advantage. Moreover, judging from Barton's current state, things were probably mostly settled. It was better to go back and call Xiao Hao, his strongest external brain, over now.

Yusuf was momentarily speechless after being taken aback by Said's smooth talk. Seeing this, Said immediately took his leave, saying that it was getting late and he should go back.

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal before you leave? I've already had someone prepare it."

Yousef had originally planned to probe further with Said during dinner, since Said hadn't fully revealed which side he leaned towards this time.

He was also thinking of using the dinner party that evening to try and persuade Said to side with him.

Yusuf: Anyway, as long as Said doesn't cooperate with Reis, I can accept whatever the consequences may be.

Saeed: Oh?! Really? What if I said I was going to take advantage of your illness and kill you?

"No, Yusef. Sofia just called and urged me to go back. You know how it is; women need more time to be with each other."

Said's words directly dispelled any lingering thought in Yousef's mind that Said might have any ambition to unify Asara.

Considering that Said has now fallen in love and begun to cherish his little home, Youssef immediately lowered Said's threat level by one rank.

"Haha, look at my memory! I completely forgot that Sophia is waiting for you at home. Alright, in that case, I won't insist you stay any longer. Contact me if anything happens."

“Said, I think you should think this over more carefully. This is also for the sake of protecting our Asara, both for the greater good and for our own families.”
