Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 561 - 18: The Truly Strongest Fortress_3

He said coldly,

"What do you know? Have you ever seen someone's talent disappear? If you haven't seen it, how can you be so sure Song Que is a waste? What if Song Que is just playing with you?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu, the two brothers, had naturally considered this, but looking at Song Gengzhao's actions, and his expression at this moment, the brothers did not believe it.

The words of Lin Jue made the two slightly displeased, and they said loudly,

"You speak so highly of that waste Song Que, where is he then? Could it be that Song Que is the lord of the Sanctuary Fortress?"

Li Wanye and Li Zheng also looked at Lin Jue, waiting for his reply.

If Mr. Zhuo Fushuai had praised Song Que for so long, and Song Que had no connection to the Sanctuary Fortress, that would indeed be laughable.

Lin Jue picked his nose and said with droopy eyes,

"Indeed, it's time to unveil a mystery that is not a mystery.

I won't hide it from you all, that old coot Zhuo He, having no children and nearly biting the dust recently, acknowledged my eldest as his adopted son.

Therefore, Zhuo Youcai is none other than my eldest, Song Que."

At this moment, Song Que also stood up, and slowly lifted off his headscarf, revealing that young and handsome face.

The people present all recognized Song Que and, of course, no longer doubted, but they were all astonished.

The son of the First Fortress's lord did not inherit the First Fortress, but instead, the Sanctuary Fortress?

What exactly had happened here?

"Why would Zhuo He hand over the position of fortress lord to you, a waste?" Song Qinwen exclaimed in shock.

Song Que then raised the ring in his hand.

Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu did not understand the significance of this gesture.

But the lords present all got the message.

"I do not need to explain to you all, I am merely here to compete for the lordship of the Ark Fortress."

Song Que's tone was serene and firm, with not a hint of displeasure or anger.

The change here was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone's brains were somewhat overheated. Including Song Gengzhao himself, who did not understand why, after his son went to the evolution area, he returned as the lord of the Sanctuary Fortress?

Did the destruction of the evolution area by the dragon have anything to do with his son?

Song Gengzhao had a complex expression but at this moment he also became decisive, and proclaimed loudly,

"I often say a phrase, in my life, I, Song Gengzhao, am not as good as Li. But when it comes to having sons, he can't compare with me.

For the lordship of the Ark Fortress, I am not qualified to compete, and neither are the members of the Song family, but Song Que is!"

The Lord of the First Fortress's last-minute change of heart sent shockwaves throughout the hearts of many.

Each person was considering how to choose. Only Li Wanye remained calm, saying,

"Song, my worthy nephew, young and talented, truly a dragon among men, naturally has the qualifications to compete. However, I have one question for you, is it true that you no longer possess talent?"

This question was also of concern to Song Qinwen, Song Qinwu, and even Song Gengzhao.

Song Que slowly shook his head, neither humble nor arrogant, showing no intent to boast as if his talent had never changed:

"I am, of course, a person with talent. If anyone here has any objections, you can test my strength in the mining area.

If I am not a person with talent, or rather, if I am not a person with full talent, then I will not participate in this election."

Song Gengzhao sighed.

He didn't believe Song Que would deceive him, it was easy for him to think that the Evolution Zone had indeed repaired his son.

But his relationship with his son— even though Song Que would still be filial to him, their relationship could hardly be as absolutely trusting as before.

Yet, he was still happy.

Looking at Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu, as well as the expressions of his own brothers, Song Gengzhao thought to himself, his son was ultimately still the most talented.

Li Wanye nodded, not surprised at all, as he never intended to use this point to pressure Song Que.

He didn't care how Song Que obtained the Holy Land Fortress either.

The ring explained everything, the current master of the Holy Land Fortress was now Song Que, knowing this was enough. There was no need to dwell on it.

He earnestly said,

"I, Li Wanye, am not as capable as my nephew Song, but Fortress 39 has ultimately benefited humanity. It is also the most prosperous fortress today.

Although the Holy Land Fortress has a capable lord like my nephew, the fortress itself is still a backward little fortress.

Could it be that in the future, we would have to gather Calamity-level Creature Crystals again and reopen the seventh and eighth layers?

Why not concentrate resources and develop the ninth layer directly?"

The gap between person to person might be large, but how does it compare to the gap between fortress to fortress?

The gap between the Li family's Fortress 39 and the Holy Land Fortress was made over generations of hard work.

If people were to choose a fortress-ark, naturally they would choose the most powerful, Fortress 39.

Watching as people nodded in agreement, with the occasional shake of a head, it seemed as if the deal was done.

The most outstanding individual, if not backed by an equally outstanding fortress, would ultimately not be able to compete with the Li family.

Lin Jue, witnessing all this, spoke up again,

"Who told you the Holy Land Fortress is a small fortress? What's with all you third-rate fortress folks nodding and shaking your heads? And you, the lord of this second-rate fortress, feel superior because you're slightly taller among dwarfs? Look at you, acting as if your Fortress 39 is the greatest in this world."

Lin Jue knocked on the table, raising his voice as he said,

"If my big brother comes to contend, it is naturally with both an unparalleled person and fortress, ensuring you bunch of useless people lose without any grievances."

Li Wanye wouldn't let his mood be disturbed by these unsubstantial threats for a second time.

The change in a fortress's level wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.

So what if Song Que was a genius? Could he really turn a fortress with only six layers into eight layers in just a few days?

But just at that moment, Li Wanye's lordship ring suddenly resonated.

It wasn't just Li Wanye; every lord present felt a prompt within the rings in their sea of consciousness.

They gently caressed the rings, seeking the source of the message in the sea of consciousness.

Soon they found the reason.

Every lord's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the real-time update that only they could see—

The number one on the fortress leaderboard was no longer Fortress 39 but had changed to the Holy Land Fortress.

Under the note for the Holy Land Fortress, they saw a small hint.

This hint was enough to shock the whole world.

——Current level of the Holy Land Fortress: Nine layers.
