Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Uh...where am I? Ouch~ Ah~ my butt, oh right! I'm back, what the hell is going on? What did I do before?"

Reis lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. His memory seemed to be stuck on the time when he asked the doctor to give him anesthesia.

Reis slowly shifted his body and found that his buttocks were already bandaged. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Oh, this doctor's technique is great, but what's wrong with the anesthesia? I feel like my head is numb, and I can't remember some things."

Although he seemed to have forgotten a lot of things during the surgery, he hadn't forgotten the important things. He took out the Mandel brick from his underwear pocket, looked at its value, and couldn't help but chuckle. Who wouldn't be happy in this situation?

"Oh right, right, I haven't told Audrey I got it yet. Let me see where I put my phone."

When Reese finally found his phone and turned it on, he was completely bewildered by the screen full of missed calls.

"Huh? What the hell is going on? I thought it was a scam."

Looking at the countless missed calls, Reese could almost picture the anxious look on the woman's face.

"Oh well, I'll just send a call. I don't even know if she knows I have the Mandel Brick. What if she runs away? Who will compensate me for my 100 million Haval coins then?"

As he spoke, Reese dialed Audrey's private number directly.

Back in her room, Audrey, who was pondering how to eliminate Robert and Richard, saw her phone ringing, indicating she was contacting Reese privately. Excitedly, she picked it up and answered.

"Hello, is this Rhys?"

Audrey asked the question carefully, worried that if she received bad news on the other end of the phone, she would have no choice but to accept it.

"Huh? What kind of stupid question is that? If I'm not Reis, then who am I?"

The familiar, rugged voice of Reese came from the other end of the phone, which put Audrey's mind at ease.

"Phew! What was going on with you? I called so many times and you didn't answer a single one. I almost thought you were dead."

Audrey couldn't help but complain to Reis. She had been thinking about creating a plan that wouldn't require Reis and Mandel's involvement, but thankfully Reis's call put her mind at ease.

"I got shot twice in the butt for trying to grab a piece of Mandel brick, and those were even helical bullets, isn't that disgusting? I was unconscious and couldn't hear anything during the surgery."

"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore. Anyway, I got you the Mandel bricks you wanted. As for the money you promised me..."

Reese said, "Stop talking nonsense. The point is the Haver Coin. I can't let those bullets on my butts go to waste."

"Don't worry, you'll get your money back. Just give me your bank account number or something. If this large amount of cash is discovered, I won't be able to handle the situation."

"Hahahaha, you, my esteemed friend, hahahaha, I knew you were a trustworthy person. I'll give you the card number in a bit. And, about the follow-up tasks you mentioned..."

When Reis heard that he had just gotten 100 million Haval coins, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed and danced in the room. However, the pain in his buttocks made him stay obediently on the bed.

"Don't rush. There's been a change in my plans, and I'm considering a new one. Don't worry, you'll still get your money, and I'll even give you more if you do a good job!"

When Reis heard that there was still money to be made, he felt a surge of satisfaction. He was joking, thinking that in a poor and impoverished place like Asara, 2 million Haver dollars would easily make him the richest man in Asara. He could then contact the arms dealers in the United States and become a true king.

Rometheus: You bumpkin! My Blue Eagle helicopter cost almost 2 million to build. It's really a headache to be so poor.

[Zero]: So my bounty was only 5000 million? No love left. So I was so cheap in your heart.

Rometheus: No!!! [Zero] Don't say that, Daddy still loves you. ???

[Zero]: Get lost! You scumbag!

"Then this Mandel brick?"

Reis looked at the Mandel brick in his hand. This little thing was a hot potato. If Said had snatched it, his first reaction would probably have been to happily go find Zhang Hao.

But Reese declared, "Who am I? I'm Asara's 'strongest' and 'smartest' man!"

He knew all too well how much trouble it would cause if he kept this brick in his hands. Leaving aside the obvious GTI and Hafk Group, there was also a hidden Hafk watching him from some corner.

"Try to deal with it first. I can't get it over here right away. If you really can't handle this brick, you can give it to someone you trust. You'll need this brick for the later tasks."

Reese was completely bewildered. What kind of talk was this? Was he being told to figure out how to handle the brick?

"Hey girl, do you think I'm stupid? Do you know how many people are eyeing this brick in my hand? Maybe tomorrow some Demulan will bring his men to cause me trouble, and there are those annoying GTIs too. I sincerely considered you my partner, and you're trying to kill me!"

But how could the quick-witted Audrey not understand the unspoken meaning in Reese's words? She immediately said:

"I'll transfer an extra 3000 million to your card later. Don't even think about bargaining. This is the limit I can offer."

"Okay! Deal. My esteemed friend, rest assured, even if all my men are wiped out, I will not let this Mandel brick fall into the hands of the enemy."

Reis also showed a lightning-fast change of expression. Just kidding, he originally only wanted around 2000 million, but he didn't expect Audrey to directly ask for 3000 million. What reason could Reis have to refuse?

"Hmph! That's all for now. I'll contact you again when I have further instructions. Don't ignore my calls next time."

"Hey! Didn't I already say I shot him unconscious? It wasn't my intention. By the way, do you still stand by what you said before about giving the brick to someone I trust when I couldn't hold on?"

Reese pictured Said's face in his mind. He was joking, wasn't he? That was his good buddy. Since they were good buddies, it wouldn't be a problem for him to share some of the firepower, right? (●ˇ?ˇ●)

"Sure, but you have to promise you're trustworthy!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, that guy only knows me and has no one else to hang out with, so you can relax! Goodbye, boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Reese rubbed his sore backside and grimaced before starting to plan what would happen next.

(Guys, I haven't been feeling well lately. I'm thinking of taking a few days off next month. I can't keep going.)

Chapter 131 Let me sleep a little longer

GTI Special Operations Unit.

In the following days, the agents and Zhang Hao enjoyed a few days of relative comfort. Then, early one morning, the energetic Mai Xiaowen knocked on Zhang Hao's door.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

"Xiao Hao! Get up, the sun's already high in the sky!"

Zhang Hao, who was still asleep under the covers, frowned, then burrowed his head under the covers and fell asleep again. You see, he almost played games all night last night, and only stopped when his phone ran out of battery.

Regarding the patrol, Shenlan said that Xiaohao doesn't usually need to go. If he wants to go out and play with someone, the two of them can go for a drive in one car. Since Xiaohao doesn't have to go to class now and there's no pressure from the mission, he's completely let loose.

In his past life, he loved playing video games. Although he was terrible at it, that didn't stop his passion for games.

Previously, Zhang Hao had to exercise every day and attend those academic classes that made him lose hair like crazy. Now, it seems like he's back in college, and he's completely brought his college habits from his previous life with him.

Things like not eating breakfast on time and not sleeping at night and not getting up in the morning are considered basic habits. Everyone is quite troubled by this. Every time they want to criticize Zhang Hao severely, he will look at them with a pitiful expression. Even the most "heartless" Shen Lan is helpless in this situation.

"Little Hao Hao! Then this big sister will come in and eat the child!"

Mai Xiaowen, who hadn't received a reply from Zhang Hao at the door, chuckled, opened the door, and barged in, pulling back the curtains in Zhang Hao's room, letting in the sunlight.

Then he ripped the blanket off Xiao Hao Hao, and Zhang Hao began to writhe wildly and erratically on the bed.

"Ah! I'm going to die! Sister Xiaowen, quickly close the curtains, I'm going blind!"

Ignoring Zhang Hao's frantic screaming and writhing like an earthworm, Mai Xiaowen saw the phone on the bedside table, picked it up, and turned it on to check how much battery was left.

"You little brat, Hao Hao! You better tell me honestly, did you stay up really late again last night, huh?!"

Zhang Hao, who was still wriggling, paused after hearing Mai Xiaowen's words. He then slowly removed the pillow from his head, secretly glancing at Mai Xiaowen's expression. Seeing that she was looking at him with a half-smile, Zhang Hao decided it would be safer to back down for now.

"Hmm~~ Sister Xiaowen~~ I only played a little late~~ (in a sweet voice), don't be angry, a pretty face like yours will get wrinkles if you get angry."

Mai Xiaowen, who had been keeping a straight face, was also amused by his silly antics and covered her mouth with a helpless laugh:

"Hmph! Then why won't you just behave and listen? You're giving us headaches every day. Believe me or not, I'll talk to Shenlan about your situation and get him to teach like he used to. I think everyone would be willing to teach our little Hao Hao then."

Zhang Hao: ⊙﹏⊙∥

"Waaaaah, Xiaowen, no! (;???Д??`) I promise I'll go to bed early tonight and won't play on my phone in bed (seriously)."

Zhang Hao, with snot and tears streaming down his face, crawled toward Mai Xiaowen, then took her hand and began to shake it, saying with a fawning expression.

He didn't want to go back to those school days (especially Mai Xiaowen's academic classes, which were killing him). If he had to attend classes again, he might really have to go and hide with Sayyid for a while.

Saeed: Come quick, come quick, Xiao Hao, I even saved a room especially for you. (???`?)

"Hmph, now you know you're wrong? But you know, your sister Xiaowen isn't a really bad person. If you want me to keep quiet about Shenlan, that's fine, but..."

Mai Xiaowen said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Hao Hao, who was blinking his big, bright eyes and acting cute in front of her with a playful expression.

"But what is it, Sister Xiaowen? Just tell me, and I will do my best to do it."

Seeing that things might take a turn for the better, Zhang Hao looked at Mai Xiaowen with hopeful eyes, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"But... you'll be sleeping with me tonight! Think about it, I'll play with you until bedtime, which will help you manage things and even help your sister Xiaowen sleep. What do you think, Xiao Hao? You don't need to think about that anymore!"

Zhang Hao looked at Mai Xiaowen with a "terrified" expression as her expression gradually became "lewd," and quietly crawled back a little.

Zhang Hao: Bah! What do you mean, "help me manage my game time"? Xiaowen, you're just after my body! You're disgusting!

"Xiao... Xiaowen, how about we call it quits? I'll stay with you for your afternoon nap. You always seem to..."

"Oh? That means Xiao Hao still misses the days of going to school. Well, that makes sense, since your dearest Xiaowen taught him the academic subjects, right, Xiao Hao!"

Looking at Mai Xiaowen, who was gradually becoming more and more "unscrupulous," Zhang Hao finally had no choice but to submit to her tyranny.

Zhang Hao: Is anyone going to do something about her?!

"I...I promise you, but...but you can't kiss me like crazy tonight!"

Zhang Hao wanted to make one last effort, remembering how he had been foolishly tricked into sleeping in Mai Xiaowen's room before he even knew her true colors.

That night, Zhang Hao, having been bullied, could only accept Mai Xiaowen's "love kiss" with tears in his eyes and eyes full of love.

"Hmph, little Hao Hao, do you think you still have the leverage to negotiate with me? You should know that a delicious little cake like you is meant to be devoured by a beautiful older sister like me!"

Mai Xiaowen laughed and pounced on him, waking him up amidst Zhang Hao's screams.

"Oh my, who is this? Oh! It's Xiao Hao, who usually only comes out to find food around noon! Is the sun rising in the west today? I can't believe I'm seeing our Xiao Hao at breakfast time."

At the dinner table, Roy, looking surprised, launched into a verbal attack on Xiao Hao, explaining that he had once been sleeping in late when he was suddenly jolted awake by a deep blue shield.

While he was still in a daze, Deep Blue simply said quietly:

"Go and wake Xiaohao up. If he can't, pull him up. Don't say I told you to go, understand? Otherwise..."

Roy looked at Deep Blue standing in front of him, starting to warm up, and at that moment, countless alpacas ran through his mind.

Chapter 132 Releasing Stress

"Not Deep Blue, you...I..."

However, under the intimidation of Deep Blue's force, Roy obediently went and dragged Zhang Hao out of bed.

But the most infuriating thing was that after Zhang Hao got fed up, he ran downstairs crying and complaining to Shen Lan.

When Roy saw Deep Blue again, he was quietly watching him from behind Xiao Hao.

Roy: Good grief, you really think I'm living a good life? You're kidding me. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

"I'm sorry, Roy."

After Deep Blue finished speaking, he started gesturing wildly at Roy, during which Roy couldn't even utter a single word of begging for mercy.

As they were leaving, Deep Blue leaned close to Roy, who was lying on the ground, and whispered in his ear:

"Sorry, bro, this one's mine."

Roy turned his bruised and swollen "handsome face" to look at Deep Blue.

"Hey bro, since you've said that, what else is there to say? Just go all out against him."

But whenever Meimei thinks about this, Luo Yi is furious. Just kidding, he can't beat Shen Lan, but he can easily defeat Xiao Hao.

"Uncle Deep Blue, Sister Zoya, look at this Roy..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, Xiao Hao. (;???Д??`)"

Before Zhang Hao could finish complaining, Roy's built-in danger radar alerted him, so before Deep Blue and Zoya could even turn their attention to him, Roy had already slid to his knees at lightning speed.

Roy: Waaaaah, you all just bully me! I hate you all! ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

And so, the group chatted and happily finished their breakfast.

"Come on, Xiao Hao, I'm on patrol today. How about I take you for a walk?"

After finishing his meal, Roy whistled in a lewd manner at Zhang Hao, inviting him to go for a walk together.

"Hmm...okay, I don't have anything else to do anyway, let's go for a stroll."

Since Zhang Hao had nothing else to do, he accepted Roy's invitation.

"Yes, wait a minute, I'm going to get my bag."

Zhang Hao looked at Roy, who was going upstairs to get his bag, with a puzzled expression. This wasn't right. When did Roy start carrying a backpack on patrol? It was truly a case of the sun rising in the west.
