Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 553 - 16: The Battle of Wits with the Order Keeper

Li Wanye remained Li Wanye.

If certain spiritual settings of a person were changed, the entire temperament of the person would also change.

Very few people were genuinely close to Li Wanye.

Only Tang Xian or members of the Li family could notice such oddities.

Tang Xian guessed that there must be some chaos within the thirty-nine fortresses.

He quietly listened to Li Wanye's speech facing the entire world.

To sum up, there were three aspects, and Tang Xian became certain of his guess as soon as the first aspect was mentioned.

In the end, Li Wanye had chosen another camp, and whether it was intentional or not, Tang Xian felt some regrets.

"That monster wearing a mask possesses the power to control cataclysmic creatures, but he is not our friend.

He has appeared before us several times, feigning to save hunters at the hunting festival to gain our trust.

At the end of the war on the Yuepela Plains, he appeared riding a dragon, seemingly saving the day, but in reality, it was just to prepare for ruling over us in the guise of a 'person' in the future.

All of this is not my malicious speculation about this masked person. Not long ago, I obtained evidence substantial enough to support my claims, and the true identity of this masked individual is—the demon child of Eden, Tang Xian!"

Only the demon child of Eden would be able to effortlessly destroy the devices on the fifth level of Lincoln Fortress inside the Pyramid where talents cannot be utilized.

The earlier panic-inducing dragon attacks were indeed the doing of the demon child of Eden!"

Listening to Li Wanye's words, Tang Xian knew that probably the whole world was gasping at this moment.

As for evidence, it would likely appear soon.

This was the Pyramid, and one could be filmed anywhere there were electronic eyes.

The Li family didn't have this capability, but someone did.

Tang Xian quickly thought of who the comer might be.

"I went to recruit Li Wanye in the identity of the demon child of Eden. To sway Li Wanye's stance, whether willingly or by force, the person would at least have to be an existence at my own level in the depths of Li Wanye's heart, or even a higher status.

This narrows down the target range quite a bit."

Behind Li Wanye, the giant electronic screen started to show some images of the masked wrongdoer committing evils.

As well as the clearest footage of the dragon attack incident.

There were also many places Tang Xian himself hadn't noticed.

Moments of switching masks were all indicating that the Masked Chopper Hero, seemingly rescuing humanity time and again, was the apocalypse creature mentioned on the Stele—the demon child of Eden.

Tang Xian thought to himself that his bounty would probably go from the highest in the federation to the highest in the world, even breaking the record for the highest bounty ever.

He was rather calm about it.

An eye for an eye, he might have lost the piece that was Li Wanye, but he also dug up some information.

After some thought, Tang Xian reached a conclusion.

"Li Wanye relied on soldiers, leading the other fortresses by gaining the manufacturing rights of Judgement Knights, producing a large number of Judgement Knights over several months and transporting them to fortresses all over the world.

In short, the greatest asset of Li Wanye was his military power.

And the fish willing to bite the bait would also possess similar characteristics.

In Constantine's intelligence, there were two who held the reins of the order forces' troops, one was Ganesa, and the other was Siren.

Ganesa was sent to investigate Ju Mang, and judging by the changes in Li Wanye, the most likely to act would be Siren."

Tang Xian slightly furrowed his brows, for his memories of Siren from his childhood were not very vivid, only that it was someone who was quite close to Konstant.

Someone a bit pretentious, with the air of a wealthy young master from the rich districts.

In Constantine's view, a skilful manipulator of hearts.

All deductions fit the current situation, but the question was, who provided the information?

Could it be such a coincidence that soon after he had left, just when he said he was laying a trap and had persuaded Li Wanye, Siren went to fill that trap?

This was what made Tang Xian sense that something was off.

The phone rang at that moment, a call request from Yu Xiaozhe.

Tang Xian answered the call and said,

"What's up?"

"I can't believe how calm you are! The whole world is talking about you," Yu Xiaozhe exclaimed anxiously.

Tang Xian laughed and said,

"I had intended to associate with them as an ordinary person, but instead of closeness, I got alienation. Now I'm not pretending anymore; I'm laying my cards out—I am the demon child of Eden."

"..." Yu Xiaozhe was at a loss for words. Was this guy not worried at all now that his identity was completely exposed?

It seemed like Tang Xian could guess Yu Xiaozhe's anxiety and said,

"You don't need to worry, actually. As long as the man behind the scenes remains at a safe distance, even exposure brings no substantial harm.

Tang Xian has always been the demon child of Eden; adding another identity for him doesn't really make a difference to people.

They're looking for Tang Xian; what does it have to do with me, Tang Jikede?"

"There is... some sense in that," Yu Xiaozhe said, wiping off sweat on the other end.

It's like a death row inmate having his crime escalated to the point where the entire world becomes an enemy... It seems not to have any impact, as it still culminates in death.

Or as if the height of tightrope walking has changed from thirty meters to three hundred meters.

It looks more dangerous, but in reality, as long as there are no mistakes, nothing changes.

Yu Xiaozhe admired Tang Xian's attitude and said,

"So what do we do now, since the path of Li Wanye is no longer an option?"

"Later, I will go to the thirty-nine fortresses to pick up some people; you and Lin Sen help me prepare the materials."

"What else?"
