Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 121

Upon hearing Shenlan call his name, Weilong obediently moved to Shenlan's side, just like a primary school student whose name had been called by the teacher... with Roy lying at his feet, still sobbing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao and his companions had all moved to a relatively safe spot and were beginning to watch the performance brought by Wei Long and Roy with curious eyes.

Anonymous: Although I don't like crowds, this... seems quite addictive. What will happen next?

Looking at the serious-looking Shen Lan in front of him, Wei Long felt extremely flustered. Facing Shen Lan's intimidating presence almost made him wet himself. Glancing at the people who were still watching the show, Wei Long knew that he couldn't escape losing face this time.

"How many times have I told you guys not to embarrass me when you come out? Wei Long, you are indeed young, but do you know how much trouble you've caused everyone?"

Everyone: No, actually we really enjoy watching this kind of fun (especially Roy's).

“I…I was wrong, Deep Blue. I am willing to accept the punishment.”

Wei Long also lowered his head, indicating that he realized his mistake (he was faking it, and he would do it again next time), and that he was willing to accept the punishment.

"Okay, I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll give you two choices now, and you can choose for yourself."

When Deep Blue said this, he placed one hand on Roy, who was about to jump up again, successfully suppressing Roy's attempt to get back on his feet.

"Okay, Deep Blue, you go ahead and say it."

When Wei Long saw that he still had a choice, his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Deep Blue to be so good.

"Alright then, the first punishment is that you won't get any lunch and will have to watch us eat. After all, you're the first person to have managed to get Roy into this state."

After Shenlan finished explaining the first punishment, Roy immediately jumped up excitedly, thinking of saying a few harsh words to Weilong, but then he covered his butt and fell down again.

Everyone: Uh... I can't bear to watch.

The light in Wei Long's eyes was extinguished in an instant. This punishment was practically killing him. With Said's triumphant return, there would surely be a feast to be had. If he could only watch from the sidelines, he might as well jump off the dam.

"It's alright, Brother Weilong. I'll give you a detailed evaluation of the taste of each dish. I think it will be quite delicious."

While Wei Long was still frozen in shock, our Xiao Hao thoughtfully stabbed Wei Long in the heart.

Wei Long: Waaaaah, Xiao Hao... How come you too?

"Deep Blue, why don't you tell me what the second type of punishment is?"

Wei Long hurriedly asked Shen Lan what the second punishment would be. He really couldn't bear not being allowed to eat lunch. He might as well practice with Shen Lan. Anyway, Shen Lan would hold back, so he shouldn't die.

"The second option is that you bullied Roy before, so now Roy will bully you back. How about that? Isn't that reasonable? Don't you Chinese have a saying, 'Treat others as they treat you'?"

Wei Long: Waaaaah, do I really have to choose between these two piles of shit?

Upon hearing the second punishment, Roy, to everyone's astonishment, pulled out his steroid gun from somewhere and stabbed himself in the arm.

"Ah! Come on, let's go! Little Dragon, have you made your choice yet? I'm all ready!"

All eyes were on Wei Long, whose forehead was now beaded with sweat.

Finally, Wei Long's lips trembled as he said:

“I… I choose the second punishment.”

Chapter 295 Thousand Years of Killing (Roy's Version)

After saying this, Wei Long, as if he had lost his soul, followed Roy's example and collapsed "weakly and powerlessly".

Everyone: Wow, what a pitiful sight!

"Hehehe, Weilong, you like to play around, huh? Deep Blue, help me hold him down. I'll just finish this quickly here and go eat as soon as possible."

"What?! Roy, how could you do this? I was the one who stabbed you in the middle! You...you've gone too far! Hey, and you guys, stop staring at me like that! You're all a bunch of perverts!"

"Hehehe, what are you talking about, Brother Weilong? We've just never seen a scene like this before, we're just a little curious, right?"

Sayed said with a smile, and then Abel and Wuming nodded silently. Usually, all they could see on the dam was Sayed being dragged by Sofia to do his homework while crying and howling. There was really nothing else to watch.

Just as Wei Long was about to say something, Shen Lan locked him up, leaving his big butt facing Roy, who had a smirking expression.

"Alright, Weilong, let's finish this quickly so everyone can go eat. You're just going to make a sacrifice, Roy, you need to get this sorted out, okay?"

Wei Long was thinking of begging for mercy and saying some nice things to get Roy to go easy on him, but he didn't expect Roy, who was so impatient, to charge up his power behind him, find a good angle, and then unleash a "Thousand Years of Death" from the battlefield medic.

"Ada!!!"

"I.............."

Before Wei Long could finish speaking, a familiar and painful sensation came from his lower body, along with a series of hissing sounds from behind him.

Wei Long was about to shout it out, but then he remembered that Xiao Hao was watching from behind. If he shouted it out without any restraint, wouldn't he lose all face?

Zhang Hao: emm.............Actually, Brother Weilong has nothing left to lose in his heart. We know each other inside and out, right? If it hurts, just shout it out. Your face is turning red from holding it in.

"Hehehe, that felt good. How was it, Dragon? Did you enjoy it? You better watch your step next time. If you bully me again, I'll go tell Deep Blue."

Roy seemed to have found his backbone and started showing off in front of Wei Long again, completely forgetting who used to get beaten up by Shen Lan every day.

"We're going to eat first. You guys just need to get dressed before you come along. Come on, Xiao Hao, let's go eat first. We won't wait for these two."

Seeing that Roy had finished his revenge, Deep Blue released Wei Long, who slid to the ground. However, with his amazing willpower, he stood up shakily under Roy's incredulous gaze and slowly walked towards the locker room.

"Hey, are you alright? Do you want me to give you a shot?"

Roy: What's going on? After taking my fully charged Thousand Years of Kill, you're still able to stand up and walk towards the locker room? Hagiron, you bastard...

"I... I'm going to eat. Nothing can stop me from eating."

Roy: ...................

Well, judging from his condition, there's absolutely no need to worry. I'll just go change my clothes and cook for myself.

Once everyone had sat down at the table to eat, the curious Roy couldn't help but ask Said:

"Hey Lao Sai, what are you keeping us in suspense for? Tell us what happened today, it's perfect for us to have this 'dry rice' in our hands."

Hearing Roy's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Xiao Hao had only told them that Said had completed the run without taking any damage, but they were all very curious about what exactly happened. Abel, in particular, stopped eating as he heard Said prepare to recount the operation.

When Said saw Sofia and Abel looking at him with the expressions of little fans, he was also greatly satisfied with his vanity. These were his lovely subordinates! Look at that Nameless, he still has a nonchalant expression, but he probably wants to know the answer to a lot in his heart!

"Ahem, Nameless, don't you care about your leader at all? At least give me some emotional value, okay?"

nameless:............

"Alright, alright, hurry up and tell us. Everyone's waiting. If you keep keeping us in suspense, you'll be doing your homework this afternoon."

Sofia watched as Said remained silent, constantly provoking Nameless. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She gave Said a "sweet" smile and said something that almost sent Said flying.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Please don't get excited, I'll tell you now."

Said was also startled. He was joking, he had just returned from a victorious battle, how could he do homework? He would rather die than do it, and if he had to do it, he would leave it to this nameless guy.

So, Sayed began to tell everyone about the series of unbelievable things that had happened that day.

"What?! Hamk, the king of backstabbing, was actually backstabbed to death by his own subordinate?"

After hearing Hamk's ending, Roy clapped and cheered, saying it was absolutely brilliant. Hamk, who had backstabbed others his whole life, actually fell victim to the very thing he was best at: backstabbing. It was entirely his own fault; his own subordinates had all learned it, and now he was the one who suffered.

"Of course, the leader should set an example. Look at me, am I not an excellent example? Oh dear, I am too excellent."

"Hey, but looking at it this way, Old Sai, all you did was pick up a head this time, right? It seems like you didn't do anything at all. Even that Demulan you encountered did more than you."

Roy's words successfully made Said stand up excitedly.

"Are you kidding me? How am I not important? If I hadn't led the team, would we have been able to stop Hamk? Besides, I was the one who led the charge and fought on the front lines. Otherwise, how could we have had zero casualties this time?"

Roy, seeing Said jumping up and down in a panic, suddenly seemed to have thought of something amusing and added insult to injury:

"But... what does this have to do with you going to catch Hamk?"

Chapter 296 Stunning Beauty

"What are you saying, Roy? What exactly do you mean by that? Are you implying that I was just there to coast along?"

Said immediately glared fiercely at Roy. That damned Roy, he really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

"No, no, no, oh dear, you're too sensitive. What I really wanted to say is that I feel like it's the same whether you're here or not in this operation, right, Xiao Hao?"

Roy continued his mockery, even bringing up Zhang Hao while ridiculing Said. But would our witty Xiao Hao join Roy in mocking Said?

The answer was naturally no. After stuffing another large piece of braised pork into his mouth, Zhang Hao looked at the "aggrieved" Said and comforted him:

"Alright, Uncle Said, don't be sad anymore. Do you think you can still hear anything good from Roy's mouth? This time you've earned two heavy tanks and Hamk's big tank in return."

Said: Waaah, Xiao Hao really understands me. That damn Roy, if he dares to come here again, I'll lock him up underground and have a good "heart-to-heart talk" with him. I'll also bring Wuming along, he's my little brother after all, I can't forget about things that can make people feel good.

Anonymous: Thank you so much, you actually included me in your group.

Roy: Thanks too, you damn guy, you brought other people along to play with me, didn't you? You bastard!

"So how many resources did you get this time? You know, Reis directly gave you such a large piece of land. After this, can you really compete with him?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Shenlan began to inquire about the situation on Reis's side. He knew that his Xiaohao would still have to help the non-existent Said liberate Asara in the future. If Reis was too powerful, it was hard to say whether they could succeed later.

From Zhang Hao's introduction of Reis, Shen Lan understood that Reis was someone who wanted to become the emperor of Asara. Moreover, if such a person really became the emperor of Asara, the first to suffer would be the innocent civilians of Asara.

"I don't know. To be honest, I'm also very curious about where Reese got so much money. You know, after your Diamond Queen Hotel was bombed by you guys the first time, he still asked my construction team to come and help him repair it. He even gave me money back then."

Said also began to think about what had happened to Reis recently.

"Then there's what you all know, the wrath from Demulan. You know, his Diamond Queen Hotel was reduced to ruins back then. Whether it's rebuilding or anything else, to be honest, it would take a lot of manpower and resources. But when I went to see the outskirts of their Longbow Valley this time, I found that things seemed a little different there."

Reminded by Shenlan, Said became increasingly puzzled. Could this Reis possibly conjure up money to spend? These back-and-forth trips were so numerous that even selling his Zero Dam wouldn't have been enough to resolve the situation. Fortunately, there weren't any buildings to blow up near the dam; all the existing structures had been built on the land above the dam, and now there were hardly any people living in the tents here.

"How is it different? It's impossible that his Diamond Queen Hotel could be built even better than before."

Abel also asked, knowing that in his opinion, if his dam were hit by a missile like that, it would probably just roll its eyes and collapse.

Although it can still be repaired, this will delay the development of other areas around the dam. In addition, their dam is more than just a name; it basically supplies Asara with electricity and other resources. For a strategic location like theirs, it's not as simple as just having Reis bombed.

"Boss... you said you chatted with Demulan for a bit before, and you two didn't have any conflict, right? You know, this place can't be easily bombed. If the dam is blown up, this whole place... will probably be flooded!"

After listening, Said waved his hand domineeringly and told everyone how he used a piece of information from Xiao Hao that was almost useless to get a reconnaissance helicopter from Demulan, and also conveniently passed the blame to Rometheus.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Demulan will probably be going to see Rometheus now. See? That's what brains are. I'm a brain. Don't compare me to Reis next time. I'm much smarter than him."

"What?! A mere piece of information about Xiao Hao's time with Rometheus can be exchanged for a reconnaissance helicopter? Holy crap, come here, Said, hold this up. This is an incredibly handsome photo that I usually don't show. Next time you run into Demulan, show her this photo and see if you can get an attack helicopter in return."

After hearing this, Roy, with a smug look on his face, carefully took out a photo from his backpack and handed it to Said as if it were a precious treasure.

After Said took it, he looked at it curiously. The others (except for Deep Blue) also curiously craned their necks to see what the photo that Roy had been boasting about actually looked like.

"Damn it, Roy, you borrowed my computer last time just to edit this photo, right? This... is this really you? Have some shame at all."

The moment Zhang Hao saw the photo, he couldn't help but start complaining to Roy: "What is this? A handsome Western man? He is indeed handsome, but you photoshopped him so badly that you can't even recognize him!"

"What are you saying, Xiao Hao? What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm not as handsome as I am in the photos?"

Said: Hmm~~~ Why does this sound so familiar? Did I say that before?

"Hahaha, Roy, are you feeling insecure? When did you get so fair-skinned? And those eyes of yours look so affectionate as if you're looking at a dog, hahaha, oh my god, I can't take it anymore, I have to take a picture and show it to those people."

Wei Long burst out laughing upon seeing the photo, clutching his stomach and leaning back in his chair. Luo Yi blushed upon seeing Zhang Hao and Wei Long's reactions.

"Laugh, laugh, what's so funny? You're just jealous of my stunning good looks."

Abel and the nameless man kept glancing back and forth between the photograph and Roy himself.

"What are you looking at? I've figured it out now. You lot are just blatantly jealous, humph!"

Chapter 297 Questioning

"Hey, Demulan, you're bored again? Didn't you say not to bother me when you're not busy? I'm going to spend my time getting to know my best son better now."

After lunch, Rometheus was thinking of taking the newly arrived tank model to his eldest son to happily strengthen the bond between them.

Recently, Rometheus was also disappointed to find that his eldest son seemed to be closer to Ella. He saw that Zero was fine when talking to Ella, but every time he went to his room with a "friendly" smile, he would get a cold reply from him.

"Get lost, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

This has always troubled Rometheus. In his opinion, building a good relationship with his eldest son is much more difficult than conducting experiments. Fortunately, he has always maintained a good attitude, so he has not been discouraged.

Just as Rometheus received the latest tank model, he couldn't wait to find Zero to have a good chat with him. Unfortunately, Demulan called him at that moment.

"Oh, what does that have to do with me? I'm here to ask you some questions, and you'd better give me an honest answer."

Demulan said slowly and deliberately. Although she really wanted to know about Xiao Hao, she was afraid that if she asked Rometheus directly, she wouldn't get any information. After all, Rometheus was a very shrewd guy.

Aside from asking him questions that left him speechless and directly placing his North Star around his neck, even someone as strong as Demulan couldn't think of a third way. He couldn't very well kidnap his newly found eldest son, Zero, again when he wasn't paying attention.

Meanwhile, Rometheus, upon hearing that Demulan actually had something to ask him, immediately became wary. What was this all about? He had been behaving himself lately, hadn't he?
