Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Tell me in detail what exactly is going on? Has things stopped in Baksh as well?"

Said quickly pressed for details, since Xiao Hao had called him yesterday to inquire about the event, but Xiao Hao had hung up before he could finish explaining everything.

However, since Zhang Hao was on speakerphone at the time, Sayed seemed to hear Roy saying something like, "Why are all the things you pulled out bull horns?" Sayed immediately identified Roy as the suspect.

Roy: Said, you have to be honest with yourself. Although I'm the most unreliable of the three, it's true that I'm the only one who hasn't raided bird nests. Even on the first day when I saw that legendary golden bird egg, I restrained my desire and went back to persuade Wei Long to raid the bird nest.

"Reese said that the suspects reappeared today, and it was a group of three. But every time they were spotted, they would immediately use smoke, and then all the soldiers who tried to catch them would faint. I heard that Reese was furious this time."

"Hehehe............ It would be strange if Reese didn't get angry. Okay, I got it. Pass this message down and let the rocket soldiers in charge of guidance on our side take a two-day break. Don't come here to cause trouble."

Said chuckled awkwardly. Good heavens, it seems Roy has brought help this time. When Said heard the soldier say that the other side liked to use smoke grenades, he was immediately certain that Roy was among the suspects.

After all, whenever Roy angered him and he wanted to run away, he liked to throw a smoke bomb on the spot first, and then use his drone to leave a long trail of smoke in his mind to escape.

However, Said also prioritized eliminating Xiao Hao and Shen Lan from the other two, after all, Xiao Hao's close-combat skills...

Said said that Xiao Hao is already considered very good at fighting among his peers, but if he were to encounter someone like himself or Reese, plus De Moulin, then Xiao Hao would be like a harmless kid.

As for Deep Blue, Said believed he would never do something so degrading. After all, regarding the matter of fighting with Asara's minions for a bird's nest, Said thought it would be difficult to determine the identities of the other two people besides Roy.

Roy: Waaaaah, Said, I hate you! This is blatant slander against me! I didn't touch the nest at all! I didn't dare move a muscle! I was really afraid that Dragon and Red Wolf would come and beat me up because they were so possessive of their food! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

"What's wrong? You look like you're about to laugh. Do you somehow know who the murderer is?"

Sofia looked at Said's slightly trembling body and asked curiously. After all, Said usually trembled uncontrollably when he was trying to hold back his laughter. She had thought he was not feeling well before, but later she found out that he was just trying to suppress his laughter.

"Hehe, all I can confirm right now is that there's definitely a Roy in there, absolutely. As for who the other two are, I can't be sure, but Wei Long is a strong suspect. After all, he said he knocked out an entire Asara squad. I've seen Wei Long's skills, he definitely has that kind of ability."

When Sayid thought about how Roy would try to steal bird eggs again tomorrow but couldn't find any, he couldn't help but burst into laughter in his office.

"Hahahaha, I can already imagine the look of utter despair on Roy's face when he and the others go looking for bird nests tomorrow and can't find a single one after searching all morning, hahahaha."

Sofia silently watched Said, who was clutching his stomach and laughing in front of her. Was this... really that funny? Maybe this was what they called male friendship, but she just couldn't understand it.

Meanwhile, the enraged Reis, as Said described him, has now come to the training ground to pick fights and vent his anger.

"Damn it, which three bastards are causing trouble here every day? They even beat up my men. Only I can beat up my men. Those three better pray that I don't catch them, or I'll fucking kill them."

The remaining soldiers didn't dare to say a word after seeing the soldiers lying on the ground, fearing that if they made any noise, Lord Reis would beat them up under the guise of helping with training.

"Okay, you guys train hard, understand? Tomorrow you'll be patrolling Longbow Valley. If anyone catches those three brats, I'll reward them with gold, you know? What the hell are you standing there for? Get back to training!"

After finishing his rant, Reis turned to go back. He felt much better after beating up a group of people, but until he found the three murderers, Reis still felt a tightness in his chest.

Reese: So these three like raiding bird nests, huh? Just wait until you three fall into my hands, I'll shove golden bird eggs right behind you three. You like it that much, huh? I'll make you like it.

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

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

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao went to the kitchen to tell Shen Lan about it.

"Oh? Are you going to return it to Reis? Given Reis's style, it's impossible for him not to cause some trouble over with Hafk."

While stirring the curry cooking in the pot, Shenlan speculated that, at present, it was indeed a good idea for Said to give the Mandel brick to Reis in exchange for some supplies. It should be said that it was the best option at present, since the dam at present simply could not withstand the wrath of Hafk.

However, when Deep Blue heard Zhang Hao say that Said had successfully gotten another box of gold from Reis, Deep Blue was slightly stunned for a few seconds.

"Another chest of gold? And there's even money to develop land... Could it be that Reis is backed by...?"

As if she had thought of something, Shen Lan suddenly fell silent, and then asked Zhang Hao to go out and wait for a while, as they would be eating soon.

"Could it be the United States? Is it trying to get involved at this critical juncture? But if it's not them, who else could it be?"

Chapter 359 Forearm Training

"Xiao Hao, do you want to come with us on a fun adventure tomorrow?!"

After Zhang Hao came out, Roy came over with the exhausted Wei Long and invited Zhang Hao to team up.

"No way! I've already got this golden bird egg. Why would I bother fighting with those Asara soldiers for a bird's nest? I'm not as shameless as Roy."

Zhang Hao also firmly refused Roy's invitation. He had seen how badly the three of them had been chased today, and he really didn't know what Roy was thinking, actually asking someone like him with terrible close combat skills to team up with him.

Roy: Hehe, the main thing is that if you, Xiao Hao, go, these two guys definitely won't be stealing bird eggs like they were before. That way, I can shamelessly take a few more.

But since Zhang Hao was unwilling to go, Roy didn't say anything more. After leaving Wei Long aside, he came over and asked:

"Hey Hao, why don't you go ask Saeed about the location of those bird nests? He's the leader, he should have some information, right? Tomorrow a few of us are planning to go to Bakshi and try our luck. If we can get that location..."

When Zhang Hao saw Luo Yi running over with a grin, he knew that this guy was definitely up to no good. When Luo Yi spoke, it confirmed Zhang Hao's guess.

"What are you thinking? Go ask yourself. Besides, isn't what you're doing cheating? Stealing other people's things is shameless enough, and now you want answers too? Moreover, you've made such a commotion these past two days, who knows if there's a trap waiting for you tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Roy automatically ignored Zhang Hao's complaints about the three of them, stroked his chin and started to think. It seemed that what Xiao Hao said made a lot of sense. They had indeed been a bit too flamboyant lately. Maybe... they should rest for a few days before committing another crime?

Roy quickly called Red Wolf down as well, and then told the two of them what Zhang Hao had said earlier. The two of them agreed, after all, they were already tired enough today. Red Wolf said that he had never been this tired in his usual physical training.

The Asara soldiers lying in the ward: Isn't this just pointless? If you're so capable, why didn't you knock us out? Do you even know how hard you hit us? My shoulders and neck still hurt.

As for Wei Long, who was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms, he silently nodded to the side. He wondered what he had done wrong in the morning, insisting on training with Terry. He regretted it as soon as he picked up the dumbbells that Terry usually used. Were they really meant to be used to train forearms?

Just as Wei Long was about to discuss with Terry whether they could change their kissing spot, little did he know that from the moment he stepped into the fitness program, the Terry in front of him was no longer the gentle Terry he usually knew.

"Wang Yuhao, hang in there! I believe this weight shouldn't be a problem for you, right? Don't let me down!!!"

Wei Long: Listen to what you're saying! Is that even human? This weight wouldn't work even for Red Wolf, and it's specifically designed to train forearms! I... I really can't take it anymore!

"But Weilong, you don't need to panic so much. If you can't handle it, there are still ways to help."

Wei Long: So Terry still retained a sliver of kindness in this gym? Great, I'm saved.

“I never let Xiaohao leave before he finished his training. I don’t think you, Weilong, want to spend the whole day in the gym, right? Of course, if you really can’t do it, we have another way.”

Under Veelong's questioning gaze, Terry placed two smaller dumbbells at Veelong's feet and said:

"If all else fails, use this instead, but you'll have to double the training volume."

Wei Long: No wonder Xiao Hao always looked listless after Terry's class. Only Deep Blue could complete this level of intensity without batting an eye.

Deep Blue: You're overthinking it, kid. Why don't you guess whether Terry dares to train with me?

"Dinner's ready, let's call everyone down."

At this moment, Shenlan also came out of the kitchen with dishes. Seeing Zhang Hao and the others sitting on the sofa, she asked him to call Zoya and the others down to eat.

While eating, Shenlan looked at Weilong with curiosity, who hadn't put any food in his bowl for a long time. She wondered if the food she had cooked tasted strange today, and asked him with concern:

"What's wrong, Weilong? Why didn't you pick up any food today? Is the food not good?"

As for why he didn't ask if Weilong had a poor appetite, you know that even when Weilong had just come out of the operating room, his eyes were filled with a longing for food. So, apart from the fact that the food he made today was not good, Shenlan really couldn't think of any other reason why Weilong wouldn't eat.

"No, no, Shenlan, the curry and other dishes you made today are very delicious. It's just that right now... my hands are too weak. I can only eat two bites of rice in my bowl."

After finishing speaking, Wei Long demonstrated to Shen Lan how he picked up food with his chopsticks. With his right hand trembling, Wei Long successfully spilled all the soup onto Red Wolf next to him.

Everyone: Wow, so this is how you punish the lazy dragon! Looks like Terry is the one to teach the dragon a lesson.

Terry, the mastermind behind all this, smiled sheepishly and then stood up to help Wei Long pick up some food.

"Hehe, Weilong, just tell me what you want to eat. I was just testing your limits because you were so enthusiastic before. But don't worry, if you train at this intensity for a few more days, I guarantee you'll be able to steal bird eggs much faster than before."

When Wei Long heard that Terry actually wanted to drag him into training, he shook his head repeatedly.

"No need, Terry. I appreciate your kindness, but there's really no need for training. After all, raiding bird nests is unethical, right? I... I'll just raid a couple more when I have free time. There's absolutely no need to train specifically for this."

Seeing this, Terry sighed in disappointment. It seemed that he had trained too hard today.

Chapter 360 Delivery

The next morning, just as Abel was sound asleep in bed, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

"Get up, or I'm going to get rough with you."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Abel immediately opened his eyes, then rolled off the bed and looked ahead. He saw Said and Wuming standing blankly at the head of his bed, turning to look at him after seeing him roll off.

"No, Commander Said, and you, Nameless, what are you two doing?"

Abel was almost in tears. Had he changed rooms and wasn't sleeping on the first floor anymore? How did Commander Said and this nameless guy manage to climb in?

But when Abel looked towards the window, he found that the window of his room was closed, and when he looked back, the door of his room was wide open.

Abel: ...................

"Commander Sayed, why... are you still carrying the keys?"

Seeing that Abel was looking at him with a strange expression, Said said:

"What are you looking at? Do you think we still crawled in through the window? Hurry up and get ready, we're about to leave."

Said also smacked Abel on the head, urging him to hurry up and get the Mandel brick to Reis so he could exchange it for a box of gold bars.

"By the way, Wuming, why are you following Commander Said around? Did Commander Said call you first?"

Abel quickly got dressed and ran to the bathroom to wash up. During this time, he saw the nameless man following behind Said without saying a word and asked him curiously if Said had called the nameless man first. He felt better if Said had called the nameless man first.

After all, if you look at it that way, Commander Said went to wake up Wuming first so that he could sleep a few more minutes than Wuming, so he could be considered satisfied.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Abel's question, Wuming glanced at Said and said:

"No, I climbed through the window into Said's room this morning, and he jumped up like crazy. After seeing it was me, he 'educated' me and then came to wake you up."

After Wuming finished speaking, Said, still furious, turned around and kicked Wuming in the backside again, cursing:

"Can you please get rid of this habit of climbing through windows? You're not some secret agent, why are you climbing through windows all day? Can't you see the door?"

"The door is closed."

"If it's locked, why don't you knock on the door?"

Said was speechless at Wuming's antics. He had beaten Wuming up before because Wuming liked to climb over the wall to find him when he had nothing to do. He didn't expect that Wuming was so unruly.

The most important thing is that when he climbed in through the window, there was absolutely no sound. Fortunately, Said said he has a very strong sixth sense, otherwise he would have been scared to death by this guy, Nameless, sooner or later.

After Abel finished preparing, the three of them, carrying the safe containing the Mandel bricks, got into the car and hurried off to the Diamond Queen Hotel in Longbow Valley.

"Sayy, what did you bring us here for? Are you worried about being robbed?"

Bored on the train, Wuming asked Said that when he was getting ready to go to sleep last night, Said suddenly broke down his door and told him to get ready to go to Longbow Valley with him to deliver Mandel bricks the next morning.

Just as Nameless was about to unleash a murderous glare at Said, Said slammed his door shut, perfectly dodging Nameless's attack.

Anonymous: Damn it! Just because he's the leader of Dam Zero, does he think he can barge into people's rooms like that? Tomorrow morning I have to go all out and break through his window to scare him to death.

"You? You're only here to get gold bars? I'm not like Reis, and I'm not that strong. Last time Reis sent someone to deliver a bag of gold bars, and that person was exhausted and sweating profusely. Do you really expect me to bring back a whole box of gold by myself?"

Sayed, in a self-righteous manner.

Abel was alright after hearing this, as he had gotten used to being a tool behind Commander Said.

However, when Wuming heard that Said had spent so much time just asking him to help move gold bricks, he was so angry that he turned his head away and didn't bother to talk to Said anymore.

Anonymous: If I weren't so badly beaten, otherwise... otherwise I would have made you kneel before me and sing "Conquer" for me.

A short while later, the group arrived at the Diamond Queen Hotel by car.

“Lord Said, we have already spoken with Lord Reiss. I will take you to Lord Reiss’s study.”

Guided by a soldier named Asara, Said and his two companions followed him to the door of Reis's study.

"Lord Reis, Lord Said has arrived."

After knocking on the door, the soldier said inside:

"Come in quickly, come in quickly. Don't leave Brother Said standing outside."

After Reis finished speaking, the soldier Asara led Said inside, leaving Abel and the nameless man to wait outside.

"Haha, Brother Saeed, you've been very kind of you in keeping this safe all this time. I paid quite a price for this Mandel brick back then."

When Reis saw Said enter with the Mandel bricks, he smiled and stood up from his seat, gesturing for Said to sit down.

"It's nothing. No one from the Hafk Group has come looking for us during this time. Look, there shouldn't be any problems."

As he spoke, Said took the Mandel brick out of the safe and handed it to Reis.

“No problem. By the way, Brother Said, did you know that this Mandel Brick can only be used after it has been deciphered?”

After receiving the Mandel brick, Reis examined it and, seemingly unintentionally, revealed some information about it to Said.

Yesterday, Reis made a special phone call to the United States to tell them about the Mandel Brick. The United States also gave Reis some information: the Mandel Brick he currently has is unusable, and he will have to decipher it before he can use it.

"I don't know. I have no interest in these Mandel bricks. Our dam is barely enough to feed everyone. We don't have the energy to deal with this."
