Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Upon hearing this, Reiss calmed down slightly. Looking at the surrounding battlefield and Hamk, who was about to retreat from Longbow Valley, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

That night, both sides in Asara suffered heavy losses.

Said: So... am I now the strongest fighter besides Yousef? (●'?'●)

Chapter 177 Shy Said

While such a fierce battle was raging in Longbow Valley, what was our Said doing?

"Hey Sophia, you're a college student, can you decipher this? I heard Xiao Hao say that this thing called the Mandel Brick is supposed to be really powerful once it's deciphered!"

Saeed was turning the Mandel brick around in his hand, occasionally leaning closer to examine the details.

Sofia: Sigh, having a leader like this is really tiring.

"Do you think that's possible? If I had that ability, would I still be working for you? The Hafk Group would be fighting over me, you know?"

Sofia then spent the next half hour explaining some basic facts about Mandel bricks to Said (Zhang Hao had tried to explain it to Said before, but our old Said couldn't understand, so he spoke directly to Sofia).

Unfortunately, after listening to Sofia explain it again, our old Sai still honestly admitted that he didn't understand it, only that it was a very cool high-tech thing.

Sofia: ...................

"You're deliberately trying to annoy me, aren't you! Fine, fine, do this mental arithmetic exercise for me tonight. I'm going to take a shower, and I'll come back and correct it for you after I'm done!"

The simple-minded Lao Sai also experienced today what it means to get into trouble because of what he said.

Saeed: I don't want to write anymore. ???

"I...I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked so many questions. Please forgive me, Sophia. I still need to chat with Xiaohao later!"

Said is becoming increasingly adept at using the apology skill set. Although he doesn't know where he got so many mistakes from, he apologizes immediately whenever Sophia gets angry, which greatly reduces the chances of him being punished.

Saeed: Hehehe, I'm so smart! I even found such a hard-to-discover pattern. I must be the second most talented person after Xiao Hao. (o ω o )?

Mai Xiaowen: If I'm not mistaken, the two of you probably can't even get over 100 in math combined. You really are geniuses.

When Sofia saw Said looking so pathetic again, she could only close her eyes to process her emotions before opening them again and impatiently chasing Said away.

"Get out of here, you're giving me a headache. I think you're probably the most uncultured of all the Asara chiefs. I'm going to take a shower. Go find Xiao Hao in your room."

After saying that, Sophia left looking exhausted. Ever since Said became obsessed with growing vegetables, heaven knows how many things she, as his "secretary," had handled for her leader these past few days.

"Oh, what a sin."

Saeed also noticed Sofia's tired figure, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"Thank you... Sophia (stuttering). After you finish showering, just stay in your room. I'll give you a massage later after I finish chatting with Xiaohao. My technique is pretty good. You've been working hard lately."

Hearing that the usually "steel-willed" Said would actually be considerate of her and even give her a massage, Sophia looked back in surprise, only to see Said holding a workbook upside down, covering her face.

Sofia couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed she had learned something from Xiao Hao; at least her emotional intelligence had improved somewhat, and...

Weilong: Emotional intelligence? What can you learn from Xiaohao? Of course you're here to learn from me! (???`?)

After Sophia closed the door, Said slowly removed the book covering his mask, and only after making sure no one was in the office did he put the book back on the table with peace of mind.

"Sigh, does what Xiaohao taught me really work? Seriously, it's so embarrassing! ≡(▔﹏▔)≡"

Zhang Hao: Huh? Aren't you ashamed? Anyway, several of the older women here really like this! (????)

"Oh well, never mind, I'll give her a massage later. I'll chat with Xiaohao first and discuss the dam's future plans."

Said was too lazy to spend any more brain cells on "deep thinking" and decided to go and have some fun bothering with his little Hao.

Just as Said was about to call Zhang Hao, Reis called first.

Said: Damn it, it's clearly my off-get off work break time now, why are they calling!

Although he was very unhappy, Said still answered Reis's call with a blank expression.

"Hello, this is Said. Can we talk about this at 9 a.m. tomorrow?"

"Old Sai! This is not the time for jokes!"

As soon as Reis returned, he hurriedly picked up the phone to ask Said to borrow some men to guard the area. However, Said's words almost chilled his burning heart.

"Old Sai, I was just attacked by that bastard Hamk! Now my soldiers are almost all dead. Can you lend me some men to repair my Diamond Queen Hotel? I'll send them back to you once it's finished, okay?"

When Said heard that Hamk actually dared to target Reis, he was secretly surprised.

"What?! Hamk actually dared to do that?! Rhys, are you alright now?!"

"Oh, it's nothing. I wasn't there at the time. That bastard brought a large force to ambush me, but as soon as I got to the battlefield, I wiped them out in one fell swoop. That bastard Hamk could only slink back in his tank."

"That's fine. I'll gather two construction teams tomorrow, and you can send them back to me once they're finished."

Seeing that Hamk's operation had failed, Said felt a sense of relief and immediately approved the dispatch of two construction teams. Normally, if Said could send a three-person team, Reis would be considered extremely lucky.

“Hey… Brother Said, look at the losses I’ve suffered, and you, as my ally, shouldn’t you…”

Reis originally wanted to ask Said for resources; the construction team wasn't that important. But after talking for a while, Reis realized that Said didn't seem to want any resources at all. Knowing Said's personality, Reis brought it up directly.

"Huh? Oh! I understand. Don't worry, just call me next time you go to Hamk to ask for interest. I won't share resources with you."

Under Roy's influence, Said gradually learned some basics. In addition, he knew that his dam was already poor. If another wave of resources came, what if Xiao Hao came here one day and couldn't get a chicken leg?

Chapter 178 Robber

"Um... Brother Said, stop joking with me! Give me some financial assistance first, otherwise I really won't be able to hold on if Hamk attacks again and I don't have the resources!"

Seeing that Said was trying to shirk responsibility, Reis said it wasn't a big problem. He should know who he was. Not only was he Asara's strongest man, but he was also Asara's most shameless man. It was because he had angered Youssef and said he was going to get back at him that Reis had directly called Youssef to ask for resources.

Seeing that Reis had already put it this way, Said had no choice but to agree. After discussing it for a while, Said said that he would go with the two construction teams to receive the supplies tomorrow.

"Hahaha, it has to be you, bro. Well then, I won't say much more. Next time we gang up on that bastard Hamk, I'll help you hold him down so you can do the dirty work!"

Seeing that he had the resources, Reis was overjoyed and immediately started joking with Said.

Saeed: Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you now?

"That's settled then, I need to rest."

After saying that, Said hung up the phone. He was afraid that Reis would suddenly make a few more demands on him. He was poor now. This Reis was indeed a bandit. He had squeezed a lot of money out of him with just one phone call.

"Sigh, I feel so bad. I'll call Xiaohao for some comfort!"

Deep Blue: Oh? Xiao Hao isn't good at comforting people. Let me, the "professional," comfort you properly!

"Said! Where's the person who promised to give me a massage?! Hurry up, I've already finished showering, and you've been hitting me for an hour. Don't tell me you have something important to do with Xiao Hao."

Just as Said was about to point to the name marked "Xiao Hao", Sophia's voice came from outside.

Saeed: No! A pleasant chat with Xiao Hao! ???

With no other options, Sayed reluctantly pushed open the door to Sophia's room. There, "Xiangxiang" lay on the bed, wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts. Sayed had specifically asked Yousef for this outfit because Sophia had complained to him many times about what she was dressed in, and had explained to him that the large piece of clothing was a woman's headscarf, not a breast wrap.

Saeed: Huh? I thought it was a wrap...

So Said also asked Yousef to get a few "fashionable" clothes for Sofia to change into, after all, he had promised the village elder that he would take good care of her.

"What did you and Xiaohao talk about? Why did it take you so long to get here?"

Sofia yawned. It was already late after she finished dealing with those documents, but Said, who had promised to give her a massage, hadn't shown up for ages, and she was almost at her breaking point.

"Sigh! I didn't call Xiaohao. It was Reis who just called. His Longbow Valley was invaded by Hamk. We just finished fighting them and drove them away. Now he's calling to ask me for people and supplies."

Said took off his gloves and started massaging Sophia's shoulders, while also venting his "grievances" from earlier, explaining that he had been working overtime and was feeling quite sluggish.

"What?! That bastard Hamk is making moves again! Next time you and Reis should discuss teaming up and taking him down! As long as that scum is alive, he's an unpredictable factor."

Feeling the pressure on her shoulder, Sofia felt a wave of relief. She hadn't realized Said had such skills after all this time. It seemed she would have to explore further in the future.

"Okay, let's wait for Reese to sort things out first. Once he's ready, we'll join forces and wipe out that Hamk guy."

Thinking of Hamk, who was still at large, Said was furious. This Reis wasn't very good either. If he were there, he would have seen if Hamk had gotten away.

Reese: Oh ho, I really want to see if you'll say the same thing when you see his tank.

Hamk: Me? Going free? So being chased by that jerk Reese can sound so nice!

"Hmm, a little higher, gently, yes, yes, that's it. You can talk to Xiaohao again tomorrow. Anyway, it's all over now, so there's no rush."

Under Said's "superb" techniques, Sophia became comfortable and dazed, completely relaxing. Meanwhile, Said continued to serve the "master" before him attentively. Indeed, since Sophia's arrival, he had finally been able to relax completely.

A moment later, Said heard Sofia's soft snoring and gently called out to her.

"Sophia? Sophia, are you asleep? If you're asleep, I'm leaving."

Said: Wuhu, service complete. Remember to give me a five-star review, dear!

After seeing that Sophia had fallen asleep, Sayed quietly (it was just his own doing) turned off the lights in the room. After covering Sophia with a blanket, Sayed quietly closed the door and left.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. Let me check the time. Damn! It's almost one o'clock! I need to get some rest. I still have to arrange things for people tomorrow... No, I should just write it down today and put it on Abel's desk. He can arrange it tomorrow."

Said thought that since it was already so late, he might as well get up a little later today. So he took out paper and pen and wrote down what he and Reis had arranged and put it on Abel's desk. When he saw that only ten minutes had passed, he could sleep in tomorrow. Said couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his intelligence.

Abel: Boss, you...you did a great job.

After finishing all that, Sayyid stretched and slipped back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, in a good mood, Abel went to his desk after breakfast, only to find a piece of paper on it.

"Huh? Could it be... that there's a girl in this office who likes me? This love letter to me, hehehe."

Upon thinking of this, Abel's originally pleasant mood instantly turned into excitement. He quickly walked to his desk, picked up the "love letter," and wrote it down.

"Damn it! Boss Said is slacking off again! I can't take it anymore! Sigh, the life of a working person is so hard! (╯︿╰)"

Chapter 179 Said Behaves

As Abel began his "unpleasant" day with a sigh, our righteous messenger, Sofia, arrived at the office as usual to begin her inspection.

"I never expected Said to have such methods. If he had told me earlier, I would have started enjoying myself sooner. Hey? Isn't that Abel? What's going on? Did his wife run off with someone else? Wait, he doesn't even have a wife!"

Seeing Abel's current gloomy appearance, Sofia, a woman who had been appointed as the dam's second caretaker, decided to temporarily transform into the dam's psychological counselor to help everyone.

Deep Blue: Oh? Psychological counseling? I'm the best teacher in the Special Operations Department. Why don't you come and study with me?

So Sofia came up behind Abel and asked him why he was sitting there working with a long face.

After Abel launched into a long tirade of accusations, Sofia, her face dark with anger, pushed open Said's door.

"Huh?! Who!"

Said was having a wonderful dream when suddenly his super-sensory organs sent an alarm to his brain, startling him so much that he jumped out of bed.

"Sophia? What are you doing here so early?"

But his response was a pink iron fist from Sofia.

Saeed: I could smell her fragrance before the fist landed on my face, but why did she hit me?

"You, Saeed, all you ever do is give the work to Abel, huh? Even if you're tired... don't you know to give it to me?"

Saeed: ? ? ? ? ? ?

"You...you just want to hit me, don't you? Is that even a reason?"

Said felt wronged. This woman must be on her period. Xiao Hao had told him that when the women on his side were on their periods, Roy and Wei Long would usually get beaten up for no reason.

Reflecting on his own situation, Said became increasingly certain that Sophia was also menstruating, so he spoke to Sophia as Xiao Hao had taught him:

"Drink more brown sugar water when your period comes. Oh, we don't seem to have brown sugar here. Just drink more hot water then. The effect should be about the same anyway."

Sofia: ? ? ? ? ?

"No, how did you figure out I'm on my period? Didn't you and Xiaohao have some weird conversations about things before?"

Sofia was shocked. All she did was punch him. How did he connect that to her period?

"Hmph, this is a lesson that Xiao Hao just randomly picked out from his 'The Essential Course for Warm Men' and taught me. Judging from your reaction, I guessed right, didn't I!"

Seeing Sophia looking at him with a mixture of shock and helplessness, Said thought he had guessed correctly and said with a smug look on his face.

"Get out of here! I'm not here. Abel is being exploited by you to the point of almost becoming withdrawn. I'm here to stand up for him!"

"Huh? Did I exploit him?"

Saeed was horrified. Oh no! He was alienating himself from the people! That was a serious crime!

"What else? When Abel woke up today, he saw the paper on the table and thought it was a love letter from that girl. But when he picked it up, he realized it was another task from you, you heartless capitalist. He was so frustrated that he just shut up. Tell me, what else do you want to say in your defense?"
