Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 20: Homecoming_2



Tang Xian was an extremely efficient person and had basically explained all these matters over the course of a meal.

Soon, everyone asked the question they were most curious about.

"Tang, I'm really curious... is that Eden Demon Child really related to you?" Dong Ran asked.

Tang Xian said,

"My abilities indeed match the description of the Eden Demon Child. But I don't think I am the Eden Demon Child, to be exact, I believe I possess the abilities of the Eden Demon Child, but I am human."

From Tang Ao's initial reaction, Tang Xian knew that his body was definitely a human one, but why he had the abilities of the Eden Demon Child remained to be explored.

"Additionally, regarding the Sea Demon mentioned in the Order Stele, I've gained some understanding. In a certain sense, it's not possible for the Eden Demon Child to bring six apocalyptic-level creatures to attack the Human World.

In the world of the mining area, history is the opposite; they went from being invaders to the invaded."

"Although I tend to believe the latter, there are things in the words of the Order that I am sure are false. Yet in the mining world, there are still many things waiting for us to confirm."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Shanshan asked.

"Perhaps the histories of both worlds are false? My philosophy in dealing with things is not to have absolute faith in anything because when the reversal comes, it will be quite disorienting," Tang Xian said.

"So what are we going to do next?" Akasi asked.

"For the next few days, wait here for my news. I need to resolve a trouble. Once this trouble is taken care of, we'll also have a place to stay in the other world in the future."

Although everyone was confused by his words, Tang Xian did not elaborate because there were some things that only a monster with extraordinary vitality could confirm.

As evening approached, after some brief catching up with everyone, Tang Xian didn't delay any longer, leaving only Tang Xiaojiu behind as he returned to the Pyramid with Tang Feiji.

The night in the lower levels was the liveliest.

Even now, when the thirty-nine fortresses were under martial law, the influx of a large number of miners after six in the evening made the guards' patrols exceptionally difficult.

Tang Xian walked naturally on the street, using the bustling crowd to avoid several guards and went to Liu Lang's smithy.

Upon learning of the turmoil in the thirty-nine-layer fortress, Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen quickly came over to meet Tang Xian.

There were a total of six people in the smithy at this time.

When Tang Xian and Tang Feiji entered the smithy, Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen were both startled.

The two of them were international fugitives and had thought that by entering the smithy, they would meet Tang Xian but did not expect to see someone from the top echelon of the Human Federation—

The justice-loving Song, the commander.

Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen thought they had been set up.

It wasn't until Tang Xian walked in that the two of them suddenly realized and thought of something.

Song said,

"Long time no see."

"Not that long, just a month or so."

"You've already met, right?" Tang Xian looked at Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen.

Yu Xiaozhe was silent for a few seconds and then said,

"Hold on, let me catch my breath. You, Tang Xian, the Eden Demon Child, the antithesis of humanity."

Yu Xiaozhe then looked at Song,

"You, Song Que, the future lord of the first fortress, the current commander of federal forces. Are you two actually friends?"

Tang Xian nodded and said,

"So you don't have to be afraid. He won't arrest you."

"Won't I? I do have a strong sense of justice," Song jested.

Lin Sen looked nervous like a newbie shaking in the presence of a big shot.

"Did you ask me here to give me these two number one fugitives of the Federation as a gift?" Song asked.

"One of these men is my business partner and the other is my good friend, so I can't give them to you."

Tang Xian sat opposite Song and smiled,

"Both are skilled workers. Your other identity knows a lot about the dark side and is good at dealing with these things. Maybe your other identity could use them in the future."

Song's expression was complex.

Yu Xiaozhe, Lin Sen and even Liu Lang were all puzzled by their conversation.

"You really guessed it was me."

"To be honest, I was very surprised at first, but everything is within reason."

"So you're leaving these two here to help me? Are you sure my other identity won't cut them open because of the evil they have done?" When Song said this, he glanced at Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen.

The two shivered feeling that his gaze contained some extremely evil thing, which was incredibly discordant with the Song who seemed so simple and honest when smiling.

"Not for now, but I'll have a chance to meet the other you at some point. As for Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen, they are my technical consultants, and they are here tonight to help me with something."

Song furrowed his brows, not quite understanding Tang Xian's meaning.

Yu Xiaozhe understood and said,

"Are you taking action tonight?"

"Yes. I will leave the fortress tonight."

Song said,

"Where are you going? I can make it easier for you, even though this is the thirty-nine fortresses."

Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe now understood why Tang Xian had called for Song.

Initially, the two of them planned to replace Jiang Ming, but now it was different; with the help of the commander of Human Federation forces, smuggling one person out would be very easy.
