Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Haha, not bad. I like talking to smart people. I can directly support you to become Asara's new emperor. But, as everyone knows, the principle of equivalent exchange applies. After you become Asara's new emperor, you will have to listen to us obediently."

"You want to cultivate a puppet emperor? Who exactly are you?"

Reis understood. They were using Asara's puppet emperor as bait to lure him in, but the organization with that kind of power was definitely not an ordinary one, or even a nation.

"Hmph, no rush, Mr. Reis. I'll tell you when you decide whether you need our help. You're a smart man, I know you'll know how to choose."

"Explain yourself first: do you really have the ability to stop that madman Demulan from attacking me while simultaneously making me the second emperor?"

Reis was still very suspicious of the other side. Their motives were quite obvious: to find a suitable puppet to replace him in controlling Asara. And now, with his home about to be blown up and almost wiped out by Demulan, he was the perfect candidate.

"You can trust my Mr. Reis. I'll say it again: do you want to accept our help? Once you accept our help, money, status, women, and power are all within your grasp, requiring only a 'tiny' price. What do you think?"

Rhys's breathing quickened immediately. The things the person on the other end of the phone spoke of were things he was currently fighting tooth and nail for, and all he was getting was becoming their puppet...

"I accept. Phew, now you can tell me your identities."

After thinking for two or three minutes, Reis wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and finally decided to accept the contract from the devil.

"Good! I knew you were a smart man, Reis. Don't worry, Demulan won't be able to beat you tomorrow. Now, as your business partner, I can also tell you that I send my greetings on behalf of the United States to you, the new King of Asara."

When Reis heard that it was actually the United States that had contacted him, he was extremely surprised. He knew that the United States would not normally care about a small country like Asara. However, when he heard the words "new king," Reis's greed was completely ignited.

Now that he had the support of the United States, it meant that becoming the new king of Asara would no longer be just a pipe dream. Thinking of this, Reis suddenly felt that selling Asara to the United States was not a problem at all, as long as he could live like an emperor here.

"You...you really represent the United States?"

"Oh, of course, my friend. Let me see, you still use HAF coins there, right? Tomorrow we'll give you three of our self-developed high-tech aircraft, along with three renovation teams, all top-notch masters. Don't be surprised if you see they're all Chinese; they're from China. They'll rebuild your Longbow Valley in the shortest possible time and upgrade the surrounding area as well. They'll also give you a black card with about 2 billion HAF coins on it. I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future."

The words, delivered in rapid succession, left Reese rooted to the spot. This single phone call seemed to have completely altered his fate.

"I... I've become the emperor!"

Chapter 206 Can't Fight?

"Sister Xiaowen, why do we still need to protect that Reis? He clearly deserves to die. If he dies, I can get Uncle Said to take over such a large area of ​​land as Longbow Valley."

After being pulled back to the room by Mai Xiaowen, Zhang Hao still asked, puzzled, "Just how much power do the higher-ups at GTI have that they can directly make them deviate from their original intention of maintaining balance to help this guy, Reis, who has never done anything good?"

"Alright, alright, do you know that GTI is made up of various countries? So, in our Special Operations Unit, you can see that we come from all over the world."

"Um, Uncle Shenlan mentioned this to me before."

"Correspondingly, our superiors are naturally all over the world. When it comes to the interests of each country, disagreements usually arise. That's why GTI's senior management likes to hold meetings all the time. But calling them meetings is more like discussing how to divide up resources."

At this moment, Zhang Hao also recalled what Shen Lan had told him before about why he hadn't let him join GTI. Combining this with what Mai Xiaowen had just said, he began to understand the significance of Shen Lan's actions.

"Xiaowen, if the higher-ups give you unreasonable tasks, will you still have to complete them?"

Mai Xiaowen shrugged and said helplessly:

"Of course! Remember when we were stealing the Mandel Brick? We stole it entirely for that high-ranking official, okay? Do you think stealing the Mandel Brick had anything to do with maintaining the balance between Asara and Hafk...? Well, you know what? If we had actually gotten it, we might have faced Hafk's wrath. It's a kind of balance, I guess!"

"No wonder Uncle Deep Blue didn't let me join GTI..."

"Alright, alright, don't think about it so much. Our duty is to follow orders. We don't need to think about anything else. Come on, let's get in."

“No, I don’t think it should be like this. I promised Uncle Said that I would work with him to liberate Asara and return this land to the people of Asara.”

Mai Xiaowen: Ah Ba Ah Ba, what's wrong with Xiao Hao Hao? How come his brain suddenly woke up? Did he secretly watch Awakening Era?

"Xiaowen, you go have fun by yourself. I'm going back to think about it."

After saying that, Zhang Hao went straight out and returned to his room, leaving a bewildered Mai Xiaowen alone in front of the computer, completely dumbfounded.

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

At the space base, due to the importance she placed on this matter, Demulan immediately started taking drugs to alleviate her pain. After putting the polished Polaris into her pocket, she stared intently at the direction of Longbow Valley.

"Ries, I want to see who else can save you."

Just after Demurean finished showing off, her phone rang. When she picked it up, she was shocked to see that it was Jacob Hafk, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Hafk Group.

Desmoulins hadn't been in contact with Jacob for a long time; now Richard was the one informing them. Seeing that it was Jacob calling, Desmoulins quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Jacob, is there something you need me to do?"

A gentle voice from a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone:

"No, no, no, I've been following everything you've been doing lately, Demulan. You've done an excellent job, and I'm very glad I entrusted the space base to your care. But that's not why I'm here this time."

When Demulan heard that it wasn't about work, he began to wonder if he had overlooked something else.

"It's like this, Demulan. Regarding Reis bombing our space base's industrial area today, causing numerous casualties and property damage, your secretary also sent me an email about it. I actually strongly support you seeking revenge against Reis, but... some external factors have gotten involved."

Upon hearing this, Demulan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Reis's background was not just that of a leader under Youssef. But if they could directly contact the president of their Hafk Group, was it really necessary for them to personally bomb one of their industrial zones?

“But Mr. Jacob, Reis has offended us Hafk many times. Not long ago, he even stole our Mandel bricks…”

Demurean wanted to say more, but she knew that even Jacob had come to see her personally, so her plans for tomorrow were probably doomed.

De Moulin: My family doesn't understand. I've been preparing for this for ages, and basically everyone in Assara knows I'm going to take down Reis. But guess what? Hehe, my boss won't let me kill him.

"Demulan, just do me a favor. Of course, I promised him I wouldn't kill him. As for what happens if he gets shot, that's beyond my control. I think you'll have your own ideas."

Jacob chuckled and hung up the phone, leaving Demoulan to begin devising torture methods.

"As long as you don't die, that's all that matters? Fine, Rhys, I'll see how many bullets your ass can hold tomorrow?"

Reese: No, are you a devil? Why are you all so obsessed with my butt? Are you trying to force me to wear iron underwear?

Unaware of the danger, Reis was still gloating over his escape and the incredible resources he had acquired.

"Listen up, you lot! I now have the support of the United States, you know? Tomorrow, that Demulan will only be able to stand there and watch me wiggle my ass. She won't dare to kill me. I will become the new king of Asara! And you will be the king's subordinates!"

However, the clueless underlings just looked at Reis, who was in the middle of "maniacal laughter," with eyes that looked at him as if he were an idiot. Several soldiers had already gathered together and started to consider whether or not to evacuate Longbow Valley.

“Hey, I’m leaving. It’s too easy to die following Reis. He’s always picking fights with this and that. Look at this time, he angered Hafk, and he just used two big rockets to turn the Diamond Queen Hotel into ruins. Almost all of his bodyguards are dead.”

"Yeah, yeah, I heard that things are pretty good in Said next door. They even give you rewards for growing vegetables there. I'll go and join them. Although the dam area is poorer than here, I'd be dead if I stayed here!"

After discussing it quietly, the group decided to seek refuge with Saeed under the cover of night.

Saeed: Hehe, come plant corn with me!

Chapter 207 Demulan, you tricked me! (Bonus Chapter)

(Thanks to Tenkawa Shinshu, who loves the King Brown, for the extra update!)

In the evening, after organizing the equipment needed for tomorrow's operation, the members of the Special Operations Department returned to their rooms to rest, knowing that there might be another tough battle to fight tomorrow.

After Zhang Hao returned to his room and locked the door, he lay back down on his small bed. He knew that he had been used as a body pillow by those people for the past few days, and his bed had been neglected. He had to make up for it tonight.

"You have another mission?"

At this moment, Zero asked in a tone that suggested he had been suffering from kidney deficiency for a long time, and Zhang Hao was also excited when he heard that Zero had actually woken up:

"[Zero] You're awake?! How are you now? Are you alright? Last time I was too reckless, and you took that fatal blow head-on."

"Ahem, it's nothing. 9527 just gave me my payment. Just be more careful next time."

In the realm of the mind, [Zero] quietly put away the photo of Xiao Hao in women's clothing that 9527 had bribed him with, and then gave 9527 a big thumbs up.

"Sigh, there is indeed a mission tomorrow, but it shouldn't be too dangerous, since the most dangerous place isn't on our side. But the thought of having to protect that chimpanzee Reis just makes me feel uneasy."

"It's okay, I'll take care of him for you next time I have the chance."

[Zero] spoke softly, the time it took for 9527 to give her body to be up soon. After Xiao Hao used up his last chance, she could stay by his side and protect him forever.

Rometheus: No!!! My dear son, come back and inherit my Tower of Babel!

Ella: Ugh, you jerk! I knew you were lying when you said you'd let me manage it. (╬▔皿▔)╯

Rometheus: No, no, no, Ella, I'm not lying to you. You know, inheritance and management are two different things. You are indeed very important to me, but how can you compare to my son?

"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'll cover for you if there's any danger tomorrow."

Hearing Zero say that, Zhang Hao felt relieved. After all, he now possessed Zero's power, so victory was inevitable.

"Oh, time to sleep. After this period is over, I'll talk to Uncle Said about taking down Hamk."

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

"Teacher, are you sure you won't do anything tomorrow? Does the person behind Reis really have such a powerful background?"

Ella looked at Rometheus with a puzzled expression. Rometheus had just made a phone call to Demulan, saying that he could lend his Blue Eagle squad to Demulan for a while. But she didn't know what Demulan said to him, because Rometheus's expression immediately turned serious. After hanging up the phone, he said to himself, "Reis has someone behind him, so we can't touch him."

"Hiss~ Actually, I really didn't know, but for Mr. Jacob to come and persuade Demulan, the other party must be someone important, right?"

"What! Mr. Jacob personally persuaded Desmoulins?"

Ella was completely stunned. What was that? Was her hearing not broken? For Mr. Jacob to personally call Demulan, the other party must be a nation in power.

"Well, of course, there's another possibility: the offer they made to Mr. Jacob was too high, so high that Mr. Jacob couldn't refuse it."

Rometheus stroked his chin and thought for a moment before speaking, but in Rometheus's opinion, this reason was simply too far-fetched. Was there anything in this world that their Hafk Group could not obtain?

"Then what about Demulan tomorrow...?"

Ella thought about it carefully and realized that Demulan must have suffered such a huge loss in silence, so it was impossible that he would have done nothing at all.

"She's going to shoot Reese through the butt tomorrow. It won't kill him, but it'll be a huge blow to his ego."

Ella: 666, as expected of Demoulan.

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

The next day, early in the morning, all the various factions began their operations. (Except for Rometheus.)

Let's look at the Special Operations Unit first. The sun has just risen, and the two teams have already started their operations. Deep Blue's team is heading towards the vicinity of Longbow Valley, while Red Wolf's team is preparing to go to the vicinity of the space base to scout the situation.

"Safety is still the top priority in this operation. It doesn't matter if the mission fails, you know? I'll handle the people above, but you must ensure your own safety and come back alive."

Before leaving, Shenlan specifically told Zhang Hao and the others that he now puts the safety of his companions first. The GTI is not what it used to be, so he has to learn to be flexible and adaptable. He's already keeping up with the times, so he shouldn't be old yet!

"Okay, let's go!"

Meanwhile, at the space base, after assembling a force, Demulan quietly awaited the rocket's launch. Once the rocket exploded and destroyed the previous Skynet system, the new, upgraded Skynet system could be launched.

“GTI, do you guys really enjoy stealing things from our Hafk? Well, this time I’ll see if you can do it again like before.”

After finishing his sentence, Demulan checked the time and, seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, "kindly" made a phone call to Rometheus:

"Hey, what's up?"

Rometheus looked at the phone call from Demulan, and his man's intuition told him that this call was definitely not simple.

"Hehe, the rocket is about to launch in 5 minutes, and I think it's necessary for a good colleague to tell you something. The rocket will explode after launch, and those Skynet satellites will fall randomly. So, to protect your Tower of Babel, you'd better hurry up and prepare."

After hearing this, Rometheus immediately started cursing. He had been worried about this issue and had specifically asked Demulan about it. At the time, she had assured him that he could rest assured. And now? Was she just going to watch his house get blown up?

"Demulan, you're a real bastard! I tolerated you letting those two idiots go, but you even put up with me? Hurry, hurry, Ella! Get the Blue Eagle helicopters on standby right now! If they see any satellite debris falling here, blow it up!"

Demulan quietly hung up the phone. This Rometheus still couldn't hold back. The worst that could happen is the Tower of Babel getting bombed a couple of times, right? Anyway, their industrial zone was bombed too, hehe. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

“Audrey, Robert, I’d like to see if you’re surprised by this deliberate explosion.”

Demulan knew that these high-ranking personnel all had their own little schemes, so this upgrade would not be like the previous ones. This explosion would definitely surprise these two people!

Chapter 208 Explosion

"Quickly, make way, make way! Ella, come up with us! I'm afraid these androids might miss a few fragments. If they hit my Tower of Babel, I'll have nowhere to cry."

Meanwhile, Rometheus, looking anxious, pulled Ella onto his Blue Eagle helicopter, kicking the two soldiers off in the process.

"You two, if anyone dares to make any moves inside the Tower of Babel, kill them on the spot."

After saying that, he had the plane door closed and told the pilot to choose a place with a good view so he could see the rocket explode later.

"Hey, the explosion will probably be really bright, so put on these sunglasses."

Ella looked at Rometheus, who handed her a pair of sunglasses, with a dark expression. Before boarding the plane, she was so anxious that she was about to jump up and down, but now that she's on the plane, she's acting like a big shot. Why are there chilled drinks on the plane?

Watching Rometheus skillfully recline in his chair and lie there like a big shot, even pulling out an ice-cold Coke from who-knows-where, Ella's opinion of Rometheus's unreliable behavior was refreshed once again.

"Are you always in such a hurry?"
