Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 391 - 52: Order and the Court

The three individuals in the surveillance video displayed formidable strength, a level of power that ordinary humans within the Pyramid should not possess.

Could these three be from the Evolution Zone? That place does indeed have a collaborative relationship with the Court, but how did they get in?

In the human world, humans are the weakest beings, yet Zhuo He still felt uneasy.

He couldn’t comprehend it.

He remembered some faces, such as the lords of several major fortresses.

Yune Moru, Li Wanye, Song Gengzhao, and so on.

He also remembered younger generations like Song Que, but more often than not, he was unaware of other information.

Even during the federal combat meetings of the thirty-nine fortresses, he never left this fortress.

He chose to participate remotely.

While it was possible to contact the outside world from the sixth floor, Zhuo He held the control, and to ensure the secrets of the holy land fortress were not exposed, the isolation of information caused Zhuo He to miss many critical pieces of information.

He was loyal to the Court, but power made Zhuo He more immersed in playing the role of a lord who could bring happiness to others.

Especially after wearing the Lord’s ring, Zhuo He became aware of some of the Order’s secrets.

Zhuo He had no intention of sharing these secrets with the Court.

He believed other lords would not exchange the secrets they had gained either, at most passing the secret on to their next generation, naturally, just before their own death.

All in all, for various reasons, Zhuo He, while keeping secrets, also lost some intelligence.

For instance, he did not recognize the face of Tang Xian.

He had also remained ignorant of several incidents that had occurred in the thirty-nine fortresses.

The so-called holy land fortress seemed more like an isolated island.

This island had beautiful rumors that attracted others to visit, but it was also mysterious and dangerous.

The entire sixth floor of the holy land fortress seemed empty.

There weren’t many people; the guards had already assembled on the streets, prepared to apprehend the invaders.

But these guards were scarce, less than a hundred in number, and they were not as well equipped as the top fortresses like the thirty-nine fortresses.

The strongest defense the holy land fortress relied on was the Lord himself.

Zhuo He did not think these guards could hold back; he stood up, ready to confront the enemy proactively.

But just as he stepped out of the office building where he had been staying, an oppressive force that left him breathless came over him.

Zhuo He shivered.

His pupils dilated instantly.

A sense of fear crawled over his body in an instant, like tens of thousands of ants scuttling across his skin.

He turned his head incredulously to look into the distance.

"What’s going on? Why is there a pressure unique to high-order beasts?"

Zhuo He had not returned to the mining area for a long time, and within the Pyramid, he was the amiable Lord Zhuo.

He was also the supreme deity of this very Pyramid.

He could not imagine that two orange-ranked creatures had passed through the portal and come to the human world.

Any such being could mount an extinction-level attack on a Pyramid.

Nor could any calamity-level creature muster the will to fight after seeing both the Azure Dragon and the Demon Fox at the same time.

Without any hesitation, Zhuo He turned and ran.

On his way, Tang Xian saw many interesting phenomena in the holy land fortress.

Heaven, holy land, paradise.

If one ignored the absolute exploitation of the people in the abyss, this place indeed could be described with the most beautiful words.

The scenery on the sixth floor was starkly different from the previous five.

As a crystal beast, Zhuo He liked an open nest.

Therefore, the buildings on the sixth floor were sparse, enormous, open, and quiet.

Tang Xian had to admit that Zhuo He changed his view of beasts.

This huge fortress might not lack people with outstanding wisdom, but as it turned out, ruling over humans did not require much intelligence.

It was like a game; knowing the rules was enough.

"You two go and hold back Zhuo He; I’ll deal with the guards," Tang Xian said.

"This grand one alone is more than enough; there’s no need for the assistance of that bereaved fox," Tang Feiji snorted coldly.

Qing JiuYu smiled like a blooming flower, thinking how wonderful it was not to feel grateful to that stupid dragon anymore.

She’d have to take a good ride on it when she got back.

"The Beasts’ Court should have no reason not to be able to lift the restrictions on the seventh and eighth floors; they have countless Soul Crystals of creatures in their hands.

If that is the condition set by the Order to unlock new levels, then it is very likely that Zhuo He will open a new level.

So don’t delay, both of you together, restrain him in the shortest time; I have some questions to ask."

With a flash of their forms, Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji left the nearly one hundred guards unable to see clearly what was happening as a gust of wind swept through, causing their defensive line to become utterly chaotic.

Tang Xian’s concerns were justified.

To avoid drawing attention, the Court might keep the fortresses it occupied at an appropriate level, rather than relentlessly unlocking new ones.

Of course, unlocking new levels might also be disadvantageous to the Court.

Tang Xian was uncertain about what was on the ninth floor, and what was on the tenth.

But if the condition to unlock levels was the Soul Crystals of beasts, then this holy land fortress, with the assistance of the Court, should have enough Soul Crystals.

It might even reach the top of the Pyramid.

But they might not dare to awaken an Orderer.

This was just a speculation of Tang Xian; maybe at the top of the Pyramid, there would be one or several Orderers?

A sudden barrage of gunfire interrupted Tang Xian’s thoughts. Feeling a slight pain, Tang Xian, under the dumbfounded gaze of a group of human guards, performed a scene that only appeared in superhero movies.

Of course, to these human guards, Tang Xian was probably a supervillain.
