Chapter 236 The Nameless One Awakens
"Ugh... Where am I?"
Wuming slowly opened his eyes, but what came into view was an extremely bizarre face.
"Hey! You're awake? Wait a minute, I'll go get Zoya. Zoya! This person's awake!!!"
When Roy saw that Wuming had actually woken up, he immediately ran outside and shouted to the second floor.
That shout not only summoned Zoya, but also attracted the onlooker dragon, the curious wolf, and the CS player Lu. In less than half a minute, the entire medical room was packed with people again.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! If you're going to watch the show, go watch it from the side! Why are you blocking the entrance every day? Ugh! Uluru, did you drink and not shower again yesterday? You're stinking me up! Get out of the way!"
Then Wuming saw Zoya struggle to squeeze in from outside, and she seemed to have vomited from the fumes.
Anonymous: Why do I get the feeling that these people in front of me are a bit... unreliable?
"You're awake, right? Let's do a check-up first. Is your mind alright? Is there anything you've forgotten?"
Zoya put on a white coat, took out a form from the drawer, and came to Wuming to begin a series of examinations.
"Hey Roy, do you think this guy's head is alright? I saw blood on that Relink brain-computer interface after his surgery!"
Red Wolf and Roy huddled together and started whispering amongst themselves. As for Uluru, Zoya gave him a bottle of rubbing alcohol and told him to get lost because she disliked his smell.
Uluru: Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, you're gone. I'm just a blade of grass now. Anyone can come and bully me. Even Terry, who used to be so honest, has become... so unfamiliar.
Everyone: No, you're wrong. Even if Xiao Hao were here, you'd still be nothing but grass. Stop thinking so much and just take that bottle of alcohol and get lost.
"What are you talking about? A little bit of blood is nothing. When Luna carried you back before, you were unconscious. Otherwise, if you saw how much blood you had lost, I'm afraid you would have been so scared that you would have fainted on the spot."
Roy scoffed, saying that such a small amount of bleeding was nothing compared to the blood Xiao Hao vomited when Reis elbowed him before. He said that Xiao Hao vomited more blood when Reis elbowed him before than he vomited blood when Reis removed the Relink brain-computer interface.
Anonymous: If I had that much blood in my brain, I probably would never have woken up now.
After a series of examinations, Zoya said that there was nothing wrong with Wuming's mind, but it would take some time for him to regain his mobility.
"Hey, are you going to join GTI?"
Wei Long asked curiously, "From Red Wolf's description, this masked man seems quite powerful, and he walks without making a sound... Isn't this Mai Xiaowen?"
"I'll walk by myself once I'm better."
Wuming said coldly that although he had left the Hafk Group, he had no interest whatsoever in joining GTI, which was also a very murky place.
"So where else do you want to go? By the way, Dead Man Pretender, do you have a name? What's your name?"
Wei Long thought, "Is this how you show off? Hehehe, I just love this kind of showing off. Red Wolf used to like showing off in front of me, but he and Roy turned him into a goofball in the end!" (???`?)
Wei Long: Damn, that's really pretentious. Is that a code name? Are all code names this pretentious? But none of them are as cool as mine, Wei Long. I'm the coolest code name in the Special Operations Department!
But at this moment, Roy did indeed jump out, asking with a serious expression:
"By the way, are you planning to seek revenge against the Hafk Group? I can recommend a good place to you; the leader there is also looking for revenge against the Hafk Group."
Hearing this, Wuming's interest was piqued. He turned his head slightly to look at Roy, showing his interest with his eyes. But he saw Roy slowly take out a pair of sunglasses from the drawer, put them on, and smile at him.
Roy: Sorry, I can't see it. If you want to know, just ask me in person. Using eye contact or anything like that is not acceptable except when Zoya and the other girls don't let me clown around and when I'm communicating with Weilong and the others.
Nameless was also speechless. It seemed like none of the people in this GTI were normal. He asked in a cold voice:
Where are you referring to?
"Ugh, your tone is so cold, it's really annoying. How about this, call me Brother Roy and I'll tell you."
Wei Long: 666, it has to be you, the British guy, who does this so well. Looks like I still have a lot to learn.
The three scoundrels also fixed their gazes on Nameless, all looking on with curiosity to see if this pretentious guy would utter the embarrassing phrase "Brother Roy."
Anonymous: A bunch of idiots.
Nameless simply stopped paying attention to these people. Anyway, he already knew that there were people here who wanted revenge against the Hafk Group. He was quite good at finding people, so he didn't need to be "harassed" by these boring people.
When Roy and the others saw that the nameless man turned his head away, they all let out a disappointed "Eh~~~" and then went outside. Before leaving, Roy mentioned Said and kindly reminded him:
"Let me tell you, don't even think about sneaking in to have a private talk with him. I'm afraid he'll just chop you into a pulp. You should just go through the main entrance and say that you want to join him in getting revenge on Hafk. I'm not kidding you!"
After everyone had left, Wuming lay on the bed, lost in thought:
“Said? Isn’t he the leader of a guard? Would joining him really harm the Hafk Group? Of all the leaders in Asara, he seems to have the fewest troops and resources.”
Said: Bro, you're short-sighted! Do you even know what "a single spark can start a prairie fire" means? Never heard of it before, have you? You're so uncultured, hehehe. Just you wait and see! With Xiao Hao here as my strategist, I'm not going to fail!!!
But thinking about it now, it seems like I really have nowhere to go, and Said's place might actually be the best choice for me.
But Wuming looked at his still immobile body, sighed, and closed his eyes to gather his strength. He still had time to fight the Hafk Group. He would let those vampires and beasts know just how terrifying a person willing to sacrifice his life for revenge could be.
"Richard, it's your turn next. I wonder if you're ready?"
Chapter 237: Letter for Help
In Demoulin's office at the space base.
"Oh? You mean Claire went straight to Rometheus's place to look at the files so she could quickly find out what was going on with Asara? Heh, she seems like a good girl indeed! Looks like she'll get along well with you, Mary!"
Demulan sensed from Mary's report that his secretary was quite satisfied with the newcomer, Claire, which was naturally a good thing. The more capable his subordinates were, the easier his job would be.
Demulan: Oh dear, I'm doing this to give these young people more opportunities. I'm such a good leader! I'll even bring my Cammy over to work for me. Oh, life is getting better and better!
"By the way, Ms. Demulan, just last night, we received an encrypted email from Hamk's side, stating that Hamk is willing to hand over the Ouroboros district, which he currently manages, along with his castle, to our Hamk Group."
Demulan was utterly baffled that Hamk, that biting dog, would come looking for him. Had his business fallen on hard times? How dare this stray dog from Asara find him?
"So... Mary, what's your opinion?"
Demulan was too lazy to bother with this annoying dog. He had already considered the bigger picture by not shooting the dog in the head with his M700. How dare the dog come to him to negotiate!
"I think, if we just wipe out all those empty shells like Hamk, wouldn't the land be ours too?"
However, Mary's answer this time aroused Demulan's curiosity. Based on her understanding of Mary, she shouldn't be a proponent of war, as could be seen from her previous question about whether she had rescued the reporters captured by Reis.
"Oh? That doesn't sound like something you would say. Why do you think that? Tell me."
Desmulan had expected Mary to analyze a lot of data with him, but Mary said a few words with a serious expression. However, those few words deeply moved Desmulan:
"Because... the explosion that happened to Ms. Demulan was caused by that bastard Hamk, so I think that since such scum dares to show his face in front of us again, we should just eliminate him. After all, Ms. Demulan, you became like this because of him!"
Looking at Mary's sincere face, Desmulan thought to himself that he had finally found a secretary who truly understood him. Bro, does someone finally understand me?
Seeing Demulan's visibly moved expression, Mary said that this was the power of sincerity. She added, "I'm sorry, Claire. Although you're very hardworking and excellent, a truly good subordinate always puts their leader first! Sis, you still have a lot of practice."
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. So Mary, I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. I hope you won't let me down."
"Yes, Ms. Demuren! I will complete the mission perfectly!"
Mary: Oh my gosh! I can't let Ms. Demruyne down! I'm the strongest secretary in the entire Hafk Group! Damn Hafk, you better wash your neck and wait to die!
Hamk: Hiss~~~ Something's not right, something's really not right. I have a bad feeling about this. Didn't I send a letter asking for help to the Hamk Group? Why do I still have this uneasy feeling? I've already given them all my territory, so why is there still no response from them?
Claire, whom Mary considered an adversary, had gained some understanding of the situation in Asara after reviewing the dossier. Although she didn't consider Hafk's group's actions to be "robbery," the data reports showed that the technology and assets in the Asara region had indeed increased after Hafk's intervention.
"Xiao Hao, don't even think about running away. Just stay obediently by my side! I think Luna would like that too!"
The scene shifts abruptly, and Zhang Hao is now blankly accepting Claire's "hooligan" behavior towards him.
Zhang Hao: This doesn't make sense. Why does it seem like Claire got even more excited after I brought up Sister Luna?
Claire, enjoying the fragrance emanating from Zhang Hao, squinted her eyes contentedly, while simultaneously feeling displeased that her best friend was eating alone.
Claire: My dear sister, didn't we agree before? Good things should be shared! How can you keep such a beauty all to yourself? (sniffs) That's really unfair of you.
Luna: (;???Д??`) You bastard, do you know what you're saying? I'm almost at the bottom of the Special Operations Department. One guy older than me cheated and stole my Xiao Hao, and another guy younger than me is more cunning than me. To seduce Xiao Hao, I even sent him my cosplay outfit via international express. And you still say I hoarded it? This is outrageous!!!
Zhang Hao helplessly nudged Claire, who was clinging to him. He had thought Claire was at least aloof, but now she seemed just like Zoya! At least she wouldn't want him to wear a skirt; Zoya was truly terrifying.
Zoya: What? Xiaohao actually said I'm scary? Looks like Xiaohao's been a bit naughty lately. It must be because he hasn't been wearing skirts enough. It's okay, Xiaohao, you'll be fine after wearing them a few more times. Hehehe, I'm really looking forward to it!
But Claire, having finally managed to capture Zhang Hao, wasn't about to let him escape so easily. She flipped him over and, aiming for his abdomen, unleashed a series of...
Mai Xiaowen: No... No, how could someone who has never owned a cat know how to do this? Impossible! Isn't this my exclusive secret to cuddling Xiao Hao?
Zhang Hao: Oh well, I'm used to it anyway. They all like it this way. Since I can't fight back, I can only give up.
It was almost dinnertime when Rometheus and Ella came out of the laboratory. Before they even reached the hall, Rometheus pulled Ella away as she was about to call them for dinner.
"Shh! Quiet, quiet, there's something up ahead."
Ella was completely bewildered by Rometheus's tug. What was going on? What could possibly be going on?
"Hey, just look. My four eyes aren't any better than your two. Look, look, that person being mercilessly tortured, isn't that Xiao Hao?"
Ella squinted and looked closely, then her eyes suddenly widened. Good heavens, is this Claire really this kind of person?
Ella/Rometheus: Hehehe, this is so much fun.
Chapter 238 Upgraded
In Rometheus and Ella's eyes, Claire appeared to be a complete nymphomaniac, viciously attacking the seemingly "weak" Zhang Hao.
"Wow, that pose?! Seriously?! This is absolutely something I need to remember, it's so amazing!"
Ella stared speechlessly at Rometheus, who was practically going crazy with the gossip. All he did was viciously attack a white-haired boy! It was shocking, but also incredibly entertaining!
However, Claire was unaware that her every move would become the subject of Rometheus and Ella's gossip later on.
"Hey, okay, okay, Claire, Uncle Rometheus and Sister Ella saw us."
Zhang Hao, with his sharp eyes, also noticed the two people secretly observing from behind, and quickly nudged Claire, who was engrossed in sucking Xiao Hao's breath.
"What! They're right behind us?"
Biles quickly turned around and, after a quick glance, spotted the two people hiding behind him, watching the drama unfold.
Claire: Oh no, oh no, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this to them. Will they think I'm a pervert? No, no, I have to go and explain to them right now.
But Zhang Hao then revealed a shocking truth:
"Sister Claire, don't even think about explaining to them. They definitely misunderstand and think you're a pervert who preys on underage white-haired boys (it's not a misunderstanding). Even if you try to explain to them now, they'll just think you're making excuses! Trust me, because Sister Luna has encountered this situation before!"
Upon hearing this, Claire immediately gave up resisting. Damn it, how come Rometheus and the others came out of the lab so quickly? She was still having a good time! She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
The two people hiding behind realized that they seemed to have been discovered. The thick-skinned Rometheus coughed twice and then stepped forward.
"Um... are you guys done? If you're done, let's go eat. Also, Ella and I just got here. We didn't see what you two were doing on the sofa earlier. Um, really, we didn't."
Ella: Sigh, I think the only person in all of Asara who could say something like that is probably that idiot Rometheus!
Zhang Hao: Hey! You're mistaken. My GTI Special Operations Unit also has a formidable fighter! He can talk your Black Hawk down to a standstill!!!
Rometheus's words would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but even the relatively cheerful Claire was almost driven to despair by Rometheus's words, and could only follow behind the group with a red face, not saying a word.
Claire didn't say another word until after the meal. After finishing her meal, Claire said that she had finished reviewing the files and it was time to go back.
"No, don't be embarrassed. Although we may have seen a little bit, we didn't see any details. Just pretend it didn't happen. Hey, don't go! Keep Xiao Hao's matter a secret from that old woman Demulan, okay? Otherwise, things will get really turbulent in Asara!"
Zhang Hao and Ella watched expressionlessly as Rometheus gradually managed to get Claire to run away.
Zhang Hao: That's amazing! It's almost as powerful as the charm of my language! Yeah! Why can't I use the charm of my language to stop these people from "cuddling" my cat?
"Sigh, this little girl is quite nice, but she's too shy and can't handle being teased. Look at Xiao Hao, he's so calm, that's more like it!"
"That's because I'm going back tomorrow."
Zhang Hao calmly revealed the truth of the matter.
"What?! So fast? How is that possible! It's almost the weekend! How can we rest? Xiao Hao, do you want to stay here a few more days?"
Zhang Hao: Sigh, let's go back. This Uncle Rometheus here is just like Roy, except that there's Uncle Deep Blue and Brother Wei Long in the Special Operations Department who can keep him in check. But here, with only Sister Ella, he's far from being able to keep him in check!
After firmly rejecting Rometheus, Rometheus, with a tearful face, was dragged back to the lab by Ella. Ella even gave Zhang Hao a key, which was a special all-terrain vehicle prepared for him. If they didn't come out the next morning and Zhang Hao wanted to leave, he could drive the vehicle away directly.
After Zhang Hao returned to his room, 9527 and [Zero] echoed in his mind.
"Xiao Hao, you have enough points now! Do you want to upgrade me now?"
At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a serious problem. During the last update of 9527, he was left AFK for three days. If it weren't for [Zero]'s help, he probably would have been knocked unconscious by Reis and sent to the 3Hafk Group to exchange for money.
"Hmph, I already thought of that, so this time I deliberately deducted a little more points from you, Xiao Hao, so you can upgrade with one click!"
"But... doesn't that mean you cheated me out of my points? I probably would have had enough points to level up a few days ago, but you only told me today?"
9527: OMG, this isn't right. I remember I only increased Xiao Hao's charm. What the hell increased his IQ?
"Um... well, actually, Xiao Hao, you're overthinking it. How could a system like mine, which is so dedicated to its host, possibly embezzle your points? You agree, right [Zero]?"
