"Didn't you say before that your stuff was mine? Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao, he's really smooth!"
After laughing twice, Claire hung up the phone. This Luna, she really had other ideas about Xiao Hao. Did she really think I was stupid? I was just pretending to be foolish. Oh well, it's a pity that I didn't say goodbye to Xiao Hao properly. But it doesn't matter. After I finish this mission, I'll find some time to sneak out and come play with Xiao Hao.
And, I was able to get in touch with Luna after so long! That made me feel much better about going to jail tomorrow!
"Will you stay with the Hafk Group forever? Luna, Xiao Hao... I will definitely protect you."
Claire lay in bed, looking at the photo Zhang Hao had sent her of herself and Luna, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
But on the other side...
"Hey Luna, what are you doing? Ugh~~~ Xiaowen, hurry up and take over for me, don't die! Luna, calm down! Xiaowen's still watching! She's angry! Xiaowen's angry!!!"
When Luna heard Claire say something about how good Xiao Hao was, she exploded. Just as she was about to unleash her attacks in Red Warmth mode, she discovered that Claire, that sly girl, had simply hung up the phone. When she tried to call back, she found that the other party had already switched to Do Not Disturb mode.
Luna, who was about to explode with frustration, looked at Zhang Hao, who was still frantically "operating" on the other side. Then, under Mai Xiaowen's incredulous gaze, Luna directly took off Zhang Hao's headphones. While Zhang Hao was still confused, she turned him around and attacked him.
Mai Xiaowen: You bastard! Don't you ever avoid people these days? Xiaohao, why don't you fight back? What kind of push did you make? Hit her! Is this what you always mean by trying your best?
"Jin! Lu! Na! Put Xiao Hao down right now!"
Seeing Zhang Hao's "reluctant" expression, Mai Xiaowen directly took action to forcibly separate the two people who were "connected". The moment Zhang Hao was rescued, he turned to look at the screen, which had gone black.
"Do not!!!!!!"
Zhang Hao: I finally managed to suppress the enemy top laner, and it's all gone, gone!!!
"Luna, what's wrong with you? Did you let me in here to be part of your play? Huh! Say something!"
Mai Xiaowen grabbed Luna's clothes and questioned her. Due to the height difference, the scene looked a little comical to Zhang Hao. It was definitely not because Sister Xiaowen was shorter than Sister Luna... Absolutely not!
"Don't keep yelling in front of me. You should ask Xiao Hao if he had fun playing with his sister Claire before."
Zhang Hao: Oh no, Claire, how could you tell such a private thing to everyone? What am I supposed to do now?!
"Claire? Who is Claire? Xiao Hao, you better tell me the truth, or else, you know what will happen."
Mai Xiaowen was also drawn to this person named Claire. She turned to Zhang Hao with a gloomy expression and asked, "Little Hao is a bit naughty these days."
Chapter 259 I know
Zhang Hao: Family, do you think I'll make it out of here alive today?
Just as Zhang Hao closed his eyes, preparing to accept his "punishment," Shen Lan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Xiaohao, are Xiaowen and Luna in your room? Come downstairs for a meeting, I have something to tell you."
Zhang Hao: Uncle Shenlan, you are my god! I give you 100 points for this forced life-saving move!
"Okay, Uncle Deep Blue, we'll go down right away."
Zhang Hao, also beaming with joy, looked at the two men with gloomy expressions and urged them:
"Hey, let's hurry up and go, don't keep Uncle Deep Blue waiting."
Seeing Zhang Hao's constant refusals, Luna had a rough idea of what was going on. "You little rascal, aren't you satisfied with three people in your family?" she thought. "Looks like you've been hiding a lot from me, and Claire has managed to..."
"Hmph, you can't escape, Xiao Hao. Dragging this out won't help. I advise you to quickly and obediently confess everything, lest things get complicated later..."
However, since it was Deep Blue who personally called them, the three of them hurriedly went downstairs. Fortunately, they weren't the last ones to arrive. Deep Blue pulled Uluru down directly, and seeing his sleepy appearance, Deep Blue casually remarked that in the future, if this situation occurs again, the Special Operations Department will also start banning alcohol.
"No! No, Deep Blue, I... I'm awake. I'm perfectly awake. I'm in great shape."
Uluru immediately sobered up upon hearing this. The Secret Service couldn't ban alcohol; if they did, what would be the point of his life? Go block the bridge every day? That would be too monotonous. If he could drink while blocking the bridge… that would be paradise!
After Deep Blue and Uluru were seated, everyone had gathered, and Deep Blue explained the purpose of the meeting:
"The higher-ups received news today that Audrey, one of the top executives of the Hafk Group, died in Asara."
These words stunned everyone present. Although they did not know who this Audrey was, they were well aware of the prestige of a high-ranking member of the Hafk Group. She was arguably the highest-ranking leader after Jacob and the board of directors.
But how could someone possibly murder a high-ranking member of the Hafk Group right under Demulan's nose? Who was that person, and how could they be so powerful?
Anonymous: It's time to create some panic.
"So what do the higher-ups want us to do this time? They're not just bored and want us to investigate this, are they?"
Roy casually picked his nose and said, "Just kidding, it's not like a high-ranking GTI executive died. We can't expect them to investigate Hafk's situation, can we? That would be a waste of time."
However, after Roy finished speaking, Deep Blue also fell silent, simply watching Roy shaking his leg.
"No? Deep Blue, why are you looking at me like that? No... could I be right?"
Roy: I hate how quiet it is here all of a sudden. It feels awful. Why am I not so eloquent at other times? o(TヘTo)
"Since Roy, you guessed so accurately, why don't you lend us your support again for this reconnaissance mission?"
"No! I was just kidding, Deep Blue, don't take it seriously! Waaah, you guys bully me like this every day, doesn't it hurt inside?"
Everyone: No, in fact, it's quite fun, hehe. (●ˇ?ˇ●)
“Uncle Deep Blue, is it enough to know the cause of Audrey’s death? I do know that.”
Upon hearing this, Roy immediately crawled over to Zhang Hao in a dark and twisted manner, looking at Zhang Hao with expectation. "Little Hao is really capable. I thought he was captured by the Hafk Group to suffer, but I didn't expect Little Hao's connections to be so strong. Maybe I won't have to do this mission anymore."
"Hmm? Xiao Hao, do you know the cause of Audrey's death? That would certainly give us an answer to the higher-ups. What caused her death?"
Roy, thinking that he no longer had to do the tedious tasks, shed a tear. Roy also looked "tenderly" at Zhang Hao, who was talking to Shen Lan about the cause of Audrey's death, and then got a doubles match with Mai Xiaowen and Luna.
"Look, look, what are you looking at? You look like a lecher. If you keep looking at me, I'll strip you down to your underwear tonight and throw you into Wei Long's room."
"Um... actually, I'm not."
Wei Long wanted to explain, but after seeing the murderous looks in the two women's eyes, he silently swallowed back what he was about to say.
Wei Long: Waaaaah, I'm clearly not what you all think I am! One by one, you're all slandering me. How am I supposed to find a wife like this in the future?!
Afterwards, Roy slunk back to his previous position, looking gloomy and twisted. Sigh, these women are really too scary. My own wife is the best. She's not only gentle but also caring. I'll have to find some time to teach Xiao Hao how to choose a wife. After all, I'm considered the most qualified person in the Special Operations Department in this regard.
"What? Died from poisoning, or suffering from two toxins simultaneously? This... is he using himself as a testing ground for poison?"
Red Wolf was speechless after hearing Audrey's feat, and the person who poisoned her was truly remarkable, managing to inflict two toxins on this high-ranking official without anyone noticing.
Anonymous: That's right, I just quietly put a gun to her head and made her obediently drink the medicine. As for the second bottle, well, that's just because this woman is too stupid. I gave her so many chances. I can only say that this person is beyond saving. It's better for her to die.
"Xiao Hao, do you know who did this?"
Deep Blue was also curious about who the perpetrator was, as their ability to infiltrate was arguably among the best in the Asara region.
"I don't know. Hafk is also searching for the killer's trail."
Zhang Hao shook his head. He was joking. He probably knew who the murderer was from the way Uncle Rometheus looked, but if Uncle Rometheus wasn't going to say, then there must be a reason.
"Well, that's enough. I'll report to the higher-ups later. That's all for now. You can all go about your business."
Just then, Zhang Hao's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Said.
"Hey, Xiao Hao, that masked man you mentioned before is here. Do you want to say something to him?"
Chapter 260 The Name of Pretentiousness (Bonus Chapter)
(Thanks to Operator Hafk for the extra chapter!)
After Sayyid finished speaking, he looked at the "mysterious masked man" standing in front of him, then handed him the phone and said:
“Look, our strategist wants to speak with you. If you want to stay, you can talk to him.”
"Hmph, so there really are experts out there. I knew it. Seeing how the Zero Dam turned out like this, it didn't seem like something a fool like you could have done."
Wuming calmly took the phone and casually made a sarcastic remark to Said.
Said: Oh my god, what an arrogant brat. Looks like I need to "care for" him a bit. You'd better hope that Xiao Hao doesn't let you join in, otherwise... Roy knows what I'm capable of.
"Hey, this is Wuming. Are you the culprit who made the dam look like this?"
Zhang Hao: ? ? ? ? ?
Goodness, this is the problem child Uncle Rometheus was talking about. It seems the problem is quite serious.
"Um...that's right, you're Nameless, aren't you? I know your basic information, so I won't say more. Can you contribute to our dam by joining us?"
Anonymous: This is too much trouble, I don't want to talk.
"Don't want to? Then you'd better go back to the Special Operations Department. Rometheus already said that you can go and tell the higher-ups at Hafk what you know, and they will make an exception and let you join GTI."
After listening to the silence from the other end for a while, Zhang Hao told Rometheus what he had been told to him. Moreover, seeing Wuming join Said's group like this, Zhang Hao was a little worried. After all, he was an unstable factor, and he didn't know if Uncle Said could keep him in check like Uncle Shenlan could.
However, after hearing those words from Rometheus, Wuming immediately activated his rebellious DNA. At the same time, Wuming also became curious about the identity of this dam strategist. How could this person be connected with both Rometheus and GTI at the same time, and it seemed that he had a pretty good relationship with both parties?
"I can help you assassinate the people you want to kill, like the high-ranking officials of Hafk, and those good-for-nothing leaders of Asara who are just loafing around doing nothing."
Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Goodness, you just didn't run into Reis. It would be best if he could poison or assassinate him, but if you had run into him face to face, well... Zhang Hao said that he would remind Uncle Rometheus to come and collect his body.
"Can you guarantee your absolute loyalty to our dam?"
Upon hearing this, Wuming knew that the matter was almost settled, and answered truthfully:
"As long as your goal remains to drive out the Hafk Group, I don't think my stance will change."
Zhang Hao: Uncle Rometheus, I've delivered the message to you, but this Nameless One... is a little rebellious. He was wavering a bit before, but after hearing the name Rometheus, he immediately made up his mind.
"Give your phone to Said, I'll tell him... well... welcome to Zero Dam, I hope you'll consider this place your home."
Wuming didn't say anything, but simply handed the phone back to Said, who looked on with curiosity.
"Hey Xiaohao, what did you guys just say? This masked guy just did a face-changing act right in front of me."
Said didn't lower his voice, and so, to Sophia's astonishment, the mysterious masked man changed his expression again in front of her.
"Ahem, it's nothing, Uncle Said. This person is Nameless. He's joined us. He's suited for infiltration and assassination missions. You can assign him one. Anyway, I'll be visiting you in a few days, and we can discuss it in detail then."
After exchanging a few more words with Said, Zhang Hao hung up the phone. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he found Mai Xiaowen and Luna standing in front of him.
"Let's go, Xiao Hao. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
Dam No. 0, Manager's Office.
After hanging up Zhang Hao's call, Sayed looked again at the masked man in front of him who was constantly exuding an aura of "I'm showing off".
"Your name is Wuming?"
"You're an expert in assassination?"
"Could you say a few more words?"
"Let's go practice in the open space outside."
"Uh-huh???"
Nameless looked at Said, who was beginning to stretch out in front of him, with curiosity. Why did he want to test himself after only exchanging a few words? This leader of the dam... seemed a little too confident.
Anonymous: Trying to intimidate me, the newbie? Interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing your surprised expression in a bit.
Saeed: Like to show off? Don't like to talk? I wasn't this pretentious back in the day. I'd like to see if you'll yell when you get hurt.
Sofia was still considering whether to intervene, but then she remembered the bloodshed she had witnessed when girls tried to break up fights while she was studying abroad. She lowered her hand, which she was about to raise, and took out her phone from her pocket. She skillfully turned on the camera and prepared to record a video to share with Xiaohao later.
Wuming followed behind Said, and the two arrived at the open space next to the administration building.
"You go first. After all, Xiao Hao said he wanted me to take care of you, so don't say I bullied you."
Said twisted his neck, then gestured to Wuming before adopting a defensive stance that Wuming saw as full of openings.
"Hmph, I hope you'll still be this confident then."
Anonymous: You managed to pull off this? No way! I'm the ultimate show-off in the Asara region right now.
Without further ado, Nameless charged toward Said with ghostly speed.
Five minutes passed...
"Hey you, woman over there, stop recording, did you hear me?"
At this moment, Wuming wanted to leave the dam immediately. He was pinned down by Said, who was saying, "I'll teach you to be arrogant, I'll teach you to be quiet," while slapping Wuming's buttocks.
Anonymous (Hong Wen): Why, why is the leader of this dam different from the others? He's clearly full of flaws, but why! Why can't I beat him!
Upon hearing Wuming's "request," and considering that he was a colleague she would be working with in the future, Sophia stopped recording with her phone and then shared the saved video with Zhang Hao, who was still being "interrogated" by the two women.
"I'll help you steal two imperial concubine earrings next time, okay? Please delete the video."
