Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Roy: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

However, if these two knew that Xiao Hao's trash can was full of toilet paper, they probably wouldn't be relieved at all. They would probably rush to Mai Xiaowen's room right now to "strengthen" their relationship with her.

Not far away, Wei Long and Red Wolf also saw this scene upstairs, but what they found incredible was that the two of them were still sitting here chatting so calmly!

"I'm going, Red Wolf, I think I was hallucinating last night. Can you see Luna and Zoya still sitting on the sofa in the living room? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

After a night of emo, even Wei Long couldn't continue being emo after seeing this scene. What happened? Is the world finally at peace?

Chapter 318 Ami

"Shh, you'd better be quiet. Haven't you heard the saying, 'The calmer the sea, the more turbulent the waves are beneath'?"

Red Wolf slapped Wei Long on the back of the head. He had to teach Wei Long a lesson. He was afraid that this audacious and resilient guy would run up to Zoya and Luna and say something terrifying.

"Oh, I was just curious, okay? Why are you making such a fuss? Look, Roy is about to go over there."

Wei Long looked at the red wolf who was making a big fuss with some curiosity, and pointed to Roy, who was trying to do the same thing.

"Holy crap! Don't move! I'm going to grab Roy. Activate the exoskeleton!"

Dragon: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Red Wolf, who looked in the direction Wei Long was pointing, almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. These two were really brave, didn't they have any regard for their lives? They actually dared to go over there.

At this moment, Red Wolf transformed into a savior of the Special Operations Department. He activated his exoskeleton and charged towards Roy with a roar. Just before Roy could speak, Red Wolf successfully flew away with a bewildered Roy.

All that remained on the scene were a stunned Zoya and Luna, and a silent Weilong standing to the side.

"Wait, what's going on? When did Roy mess with Red Wolf?"

"I don't know, but this is probably what they often call the bond between men. Look, Roy was pinned down but didn't curse Red Wolf, so it's probably what I'm thinking."

Roy: Is it possible that the red wolf on me is too heavy for me to even express?

"Damn it, Red Wolf, what are you doing? I just wanted to go over and have a chat, why are you making such a fuss?"

Red Wolf remained silent, simply dragging Roy to Dragon's side and pinning him down, then standing guard like a doorman over these two troublesome guys.

Red Wolf: So this is the kind of mentally exhausting feeling that Deep Blue has always had? I didn't expect to experience it so well today. These two guys really are mentally exhausting.

Good morning, everyone!

Just as Red Wolf was lamenting the difficulty of taking care of these two guys, Zhang Hao yawned and came down from the second floor. He thought he had indeed gone to bed quite early yesterday, but he still felt a little off. His legs felt weak.

However, Zhang Hao didn't think too deeply about it. After all, he had been in the same state after staying up all night many times before. He would eat more at noon and get a good night's sleep and he would be fine.

"Oh, Xiao Hao, you're up. Come over here and give your big sister a hug."

Looking at the "delicate" little boy in front of them, the two older young women felt as if they had been healed, and they happily grabbed Zhang Hao.

"Hmph, you brat, do you hate your older sister?"

Zoya teased Zhang Hao, pretending to be nonchalant as she asked.

Red Wolf/Weilong/Roy: Oh?! (sniffs), there's a juicy story in there.

"What are you talking about, Sister Zoya? How could I possibly hate you? Oh, Sister Luna, stop tickling that itchy spot on my waist, it's so itchy."

Zhang Hao pushed away the hands that were constantly making trouble as he answered.

"But last night you rejected both of us good sisters for your sister Xiaowen. How are you going to explain that?"

Zhang Hao: Actually, I just wanted to play games all night long, but I never expected something like that to happen. Xiaowen's situation was completely accidental. ⊙﹏⊙∥

"How could that be? I just... I just promised Sister Xiaowen that I would play games with her. Yes, that's right. We just played too late, so Sister Xiaowen just slept with me."

Zhang Hao also found that he had become more and more skilled at making excuses without realizing it. He never expected that he could find such a perfect excuse in such a short time.

"Xiao Hao, don't you know that your eyes wander when you lie? I can't believe you won't even tell us the truth anymore! Waaah, we're so heartbroken!"

Wei Long: Your crying looks so fake.

Roy: I think so too.

"Alright, stop teasing Xiao Hao. Let Xiao Hao have breakfast. Zoya, if you have nothing better to do, you can go and clean up your infirmary properly. Look at the mess it is in. You can even see the potato chips you left on the floor."

Just when Zhang Hao was in an awkward situation, Shen Lan, the most caring person in the entire Special Operations Department, transformed into a superhero and rescued Zhang Hao from the abyss with just two simple sentences.

Having been called out, Zoya had no choice but to reluctantly let go of Xiao Hao in her arms and walked towards the infirmary with a sullen expression.

Roy: Hehehe, I love watching this tomboy get her comeuppance, it's so satisfying! We should have more scenes like this! She just bullies this poor British pretty boy all the time.

"Roy, you seem to be quite relaxed now. I suppose you're very willing to help your good colleague. Grab your tools, I'll be waiting for you in the infirmary."

After saying that, Zoya pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere, patted Roy who was grinning, and then walked towards the infirmary like a boss.

Roy: Huh? ???

"Shenlan, Shenlan, look at her! Shenlan, is she even human? You can't just watch me get bullied like this! Shenlan, don't go! Shenlan, she's bullying me!"

Roy turned around and prepared to go find Shenlan, hoping that Shenlan could stand up for him. However, to Roy's surprise, after he wailed for a long time, Shenlan did not even pay attention to him. She just silently turned around and went back to the kitchen.

"Alright, stop yelling. Who do you think you are, Xiao Hao? Who are you trying to impress with your crying? You should just go and be Zoya's slave. Don't worry, we'll be coming to see you with some melon seeds later."

Roy: (╬▔皿▔)╯

But there was no other way; it was Zoya who had called me, and if I didn't go...

Roy could only sigh and dejectedly went to the bathroom to get his tools.

"See? I told you to stay away from Roy. Let me tell you, if he hadn't been laughing and had just sat here quietly, Zoya wouldn't have noticed us laughing so blatantly. See? This is the consequence."

After Roy left, it was time for Dragon and Red Wolf to burst into laughter.

Chapter 319 Another meeting?

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Zhang Hao leaned against Luna and started playing on his phone. Looking at his chat history with [Zero] from yesterday, Zhang Hao felt a bit of a headache.

Could it be that Rometheus showed Zero something he shouldn't have seen? Zhang Hao absolutely refused to believe that the previously naive Zero would say such a thing.

Rometheus: I'm innocent! If I could say such sweet nothings, would I still be single for so long? Ella, why are you looking at me like that? You don't like me? Then come and hit me!

After considering Rometheus's personality, Zhang Hao silently ruled out the possibility that Rometheus had led him astray. After all, Uncle Rometheus was just as shameless as Roy, and he probably wouldn't say such sweet nothings.

Rometheus: Although what you said is indeed correct, why does it feel like something is a little off to me? Never mind, I'm going to continue upgrading my Relink brain-computer interface.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao sent a message to [Zero].

Zhang Hao: [Zero] Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll come to Babel to visit you. You have to finish all your homework today.

[Zero]: What homework? Homework is for those who are not familiar with the knowledge points to consolidate their understanding. Rometheus said I am a genius and do not need such things at all.

Zhang Hao: ...............You bastard.

[Zero]: ? ? ? Xiao Hao, why are you saying that? Rometheus also told me that everyone has different strengths. I know that you really don't have any talent in this area, so you don't need to get so excited.

After reading the heart-wrenching words sent by [Zero], Zhang Hao felt exhausted. He thought, "Destruction is the only option." He never expected that even [Zero], who had vowed to protect him for life, was now looking down on him in this field.

Fortunately, he still had Uncle Said by his side, who was also a poor student. The thought that at least he didn't have to study anymore, while Uncle Said still had to bravely do the homework that Sister Sophia assigned him every day, helped Zhang Hao adjust his mindset, which was about to explode.

Said: Huh? So what? Is all your happiness built on my suffering? Sofia, look at this, even Xiao Hao doesn't have to do these annoying assignments anymore, but me, as the leader of the dam, I'm not fighting on the front lines, not working in the fields, and I'm just holed up in this little office doing my homework! I'll be laughed at by everyone if they find out.

Sofia: How about you cut your food in half today and then go farm?

Saeed: Okay, no problem. I knew Sofia, you're the best to me.

Meanwhile, at the Tower of Babel, Zero found Ella immediately and told her that Zhang Hao would be coming to visit for two days the next day.

"It seems you're happy that Xiao Hao is coming to [Zero], but why can't you smile? Although we didn't install the emotion module on you before, you should be able to feel your own emotional fluctuations now, right?"

Seeing that Zero, whose tone was full of "happiness" in front of her, still had the same expressionless face, Ella wondered if she should guide Zero to understand what emotions were through her.

"Why should we laugh when we're happy? Just like no one says we have to cry when we're sad. I can't understand how you normal humans understand emotions, but I think Xiao Hao can teach me."

Ella: Okay, I think I understand now. She doesn't want to learn from us, she just wants Xiao Hao to teach her. Well, I'll ask Xiao Hao for help when he comes tomorrow.

Seeing this, Ella didn't say anything more. After returning to the lab, she told Rometheus and then went to her computer as usual to start her work for the day.

After a while, Ella planned to bring this seemingly incredibly boring "Zero" along to keep her company while she worked. After all, "Zero" might call her "Mom" someday, so it was necessary to cultivate a relationship early on. (* /ω＼*)

Just as Ella sat down in front of the computer and started giggling to herself, a message from Mary popped up on her computer.

"Oh? Doesn't Mary have anything to do today? I didn't expect her to contact me on her own initiative. I'd like to see what this bookworm has to send me?"

Seeing that it was a message from Ella on her computer, Ella opened the chat box with great curiosity. Could it be that her best friend had some juicy gossip to share with her? She had to check it out.

But when Ella opened her chat window with Mary, she found that her boring best friend had not disappointed her.

Forget the sensational gossip, there are only a few lines of text on it.

Mary: Ms. Demoulins wants you to tell Rometheus that there will be a high-level meeting tomorrow night. Mr. Jacob personally gave her some instructions. Remember to tell Rometheus to come early and not to be late, okay?

"Sigh, how boring. Luckily, Xiao Hao helped us find this [Zero]. Otherwise, given Rometheus's personality, he probably wouldn't have just handed over the management of the Tower of Babel to me."

Ella thought of the recent high-level meetings, which were becoming more and more frequent. Rometheus was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes all the way to the solar system. When he was so angry, he could only criticize Demulan for liking to hold these meaningless meetings.

Fortunately, she was just a messenger. The reason Demulan didn't speak directly to Rometheus was probably because Rometheus had turned off his phone while conducting experiments inside, which is why he sent Mary to her to relay the message.

"Hey teacher, did you turn your phone off again?"

Ella also went into the laboratory and found Rometheus still working hard on the dissection table.

"Ugh, who's looking for me now? Wait, I told you to come and tell me... What does that old hag Demulan want now? I just confessed everything to her, is it necessary for her to harass me every day?"

Rometheus thought for a moment and realized that it was probably Demulan coming to find him again, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Teacher, you'd better watch your mouth. If Ms. Demulan were to hear any of these words, I think she would immediately drop what she's doing, grab her Polaris, and come after you."

Chapter 320 Rometheus: I feel so bad

"So what? She's harassing me every day, can't I even complain a little? Tell me, what does she want from me this time? I don't even have time to enjoy life anymore. I'm here every day upgrading and perfecting this Relink brain-computer interface. Especially now that Hamk is gone, we don't have any experimental materials left. But thankfully, it only needs some improvements before it's ready to be released."

Seeing Rometheus with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, Ella felt a pang of sympathy and took a tissue to wipe the blood off his face. Then she told Rometheus the message Mary had sent her.

"Wait, Ella, hold on a minute. I might be hallucinating from staying up too long. You mean there's another high-level meeting, right?"

Rometheus quickly interrupted Ella, then leaned closer to her and asked again with a sincere expression.

"Although I really feel sorry for you, teacher, you haven't reached the point of hallucinations. Since you want to hear it, I'll say it again, okay? There's a high-level meeting at 7:30 tomorrow night, and Ms. Demulan specifically asked me to remind you not to be late."

"No! God! Oh no, I don't believe in God. Heavens, destroy me! I don't want this damn high-level position for even a day longer. I'm exhausted every day. I'm just an ordinary Relink brain-computer interface developer. Why do you have to torture me like this every day?"

Ella looked at Rometheus, who was acting crazy in front of her, with an expression of no surprise. She also had a headache. In the Hafk Group, countless people would fight tooth and nail for this high-level position. You know, in some smaller countries, the Hafk Group's top executives can sit on equal footing with the local top leader.

But after seeing Rometheus's mental state, Ella could only say that she had gotten used to it.

“Ella, oh my dear Ella, I’ve made my decision. From today onwards, you will be a high-ranking official in the Baksh region. I…”

Unfortunately, before Rometheus could finish speaking, Ella interrupted him, looking at the helpless and weak Rometheus before her, and said:

"Teacher, don't lie to yourself. Even if you want me to become a high-level person in Bakshi, it still has to go through a high-level meeting. So you should go and rest well later, and go to the space base for the meeting tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao will come to play tomorrow. If you want to cry, you can hug Xiao Hao and cry. Xiao Hao won't scold you."

After speaking, Ella quickly left the lab. She couldn't help it; she wasn't as passionate about her work as Mary. Perhaps having the right leader was really important, as it was immediately apparent in one's work attitude.

Ella thought back to how she hadn't really suffered much since meeting Rometheus in college and then being recruited by him to the Hafk Group after graduation. Rometheus was a very responsible teacher, and he practically taught Ella everything he knew. Even Relink brain-computer interface technology was something he had only taught to her.

When he first arrived at the Hafk Group, he was also by Rometheus's side, and at that time Rometheus was quite normal... at least he wouldn't act crazy in front of him like he does now.

It can be said that ever since Ella followed Rometheus in college, Rometheus has been personally guiding her, his only disciple. So it is quite normal for Ella to develop feelings for Rometheus.

"Never mind, never mind. This isn't the first time Rometheus has wanted me to be a high-ranking member to help him hold meetings. He should go and train Zero properly. I should just focus on dealing with these matters in the Tower of Babel."

Ella sat back down at her computer, opened the documents sent by different departments, and began processing them one by one.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

However, at this time, the space base...

"Mr. Jacob, are you sure you want Robert to be the head of the agricultural laboratory? I have some concerns about him..."

At that moment, in Demoulins' office, Demoulins was making a phone call with a serious expression in front of the window. On the other end of the line was Jacob Hafk, the largest shareholder of the Hafk Group.

"Hehehe, Demulan, I know you might have a different opinion about Robert, but... as of now, who in your Asara region do you think is capable of taking over the agricultural research laboratory?"

After listening to Jacob's words, Demulan thought that Richard was better than that idiot Robert, but then he remembered that tomorrow night was the night to issue Richard's death certificate, and he was speechless for a moment.

“Look at you, Demulan, you’re already busy enough managing a space base. Audrey has been assassinated, and Rometheus, well, he’ll probably throw a tantrum in front of me. So, Demulan, sometimes you need to put aside your prejudices against each other.”

Demurean almost rolled her eyes when she heard this. It wasn't prejudice, okay? In her opinion, it was completely impossible for Robert, that idiot, to do such an important corporate project well.
