Pretending To Be A Boss

Li Xiaonian once again went to visit Li Wanye.

He still hadn't fully grasped the words Li Wanye had spoken a few days ago, and today, he was here to tell his father that it was time for the Li family to clear their name.

"Father, if the knights of judgment aren't actually depriving people of their lives, why have you remained silent all this time? The wind has changed now, so why are you still hiding?"

Li Wanye looked at Li Xiaonian's anxious appearance and felt somewhat regretful.

"You and your sister are still somewhat different."

Li Xiaonian didn't deny this, feeling that his sister was indeed much stronger than he was.

Li Wanye said:

"I've told you, justice is not a road, but a signpost. Now that the original signpost has been altered, new arrows pointing to a new direction have been put up. But how do you know that this is final?"

"I don't understand..."

"What do you think of Song Que?"

"Although his actions this time were against our Li family, I must say that this man's character has no dark spots. Even if the knights of judgment were to speak out and shatter the rumors, because of Song Que's own reputation, there are still many who do not believe us."

Li Wanye nodded, then added:

"He is indeed a good man, but the one who has set his sights on him is the most frightening. Song Gengzhao is short-sighted, unable to even keep his own son."

After a pause, Li Wanye continued:

"I have a keen eye for people. Song Que is not one to play sly tricks. Now, he is not the one rewriting the signpost, but how can you be sure that the person behind him won't lead him to redefine justice? The victor defines justice, with the premise being that there is no eternal victor."

Li Xiaonian always felt there was an information imbalance between him and his father, as if his father knew some secrets.

Li Wanye didn't explain anything, for only he himself understood everything.

He knew better than anyone whether the knights of judgment were alive or dead. If the knights of judgment could speak, why had they not spoken sooner?

No one realized that what Tang Xian and Song Que had done had already shaken the foundation of the Guardians of Eden.

This foundation was the humanity within the Pyramid, insignificant and ignorant, yet possessing the magnificent power to shake the gods.

For the first time in his life, Li Wanye realized that the rule of the Guardians over the Pyramid might not be as unshakable as he had imagined in his youth.

Tang Xian and Song Que had failed, but they were still alive.

Li Wanye gestured and said:

"Before I step forward, no one from the Li family shall make any explanation to the outside."

Li Xiaonian walked out. He still didn't understand his father's approach.

Sometimes, he envied his sister, who could openly challenge their father.

He also envied his older brother, who rarely questioned their father's words.

He found himself in the middle, wanting to be judicious in the presence of his sovereign, yet also wishing to speak his mind frankly.

The good reputation of Song Que meant that when the world denounced him, many still sided with him.

This commander-in-chief of the Human Alliance Army had an unimaginable prestige in the world of the Pyramid.

Even with the reversal of events, deep down, many still believed that Song Que was perhaps only misled—or some even thought that he was the only one who was right.

But the events of the following days finally made Li Xiaonian understand his father's intentions.

...

...

These days, the information coming from the television tower has been explosive, and discussions over who between Song Que and Li Wanye represents true justice have become a debated topic among the people.

But no one expected that after the crisis with the knights of judgment was resolved, the attacks against Song Que would come so swiftly.

When people saw the smiley mask of the demon, only to be met with Song Que's face after the mask was removed, the whole century seemed to fall silent for a second.

Constantine's second counterattack.

No matter how cautious Tang Xian and Song Que were in the Pyramid, ninety percent of the world fell under his surveillance.

Whether it was as Masked Chopper Hero or a masked freak, as long as he wished, he could find out their information. Even though Song Que rarely wore a mask in the Pyramid, he had still done so.

The might of "the Monitor" was undeniable at that moment; by assembling a few images, he could present a truth that would upend perceptions.

Who could have imagined the genteel eldest son of the Song Family emitting a sinister laugh, carrying out the deeds of a devil?

The most alarming was the dragon attack incident. Not even Song Que himself expected that the scene of him being rescued by Tang Xian would be exposed for all to see. The Eden demon child was an antithesis to the Human World, a real monster, and yet this monster was to ride a dragon to save Song Que.

The implication of this made people waver in their perception of Song Que. It seemed fitting him with the title of traitor to the Human World was not too far-fetched.

The relocation work for the Sanctuary Fortress was nearly complete, and due to the sinkhole incident, most were willing to leave with Song Que.

At this moment, looking at the images on the television tower, Song Que himself seemed very calm, as if everything was within expectations.

Only Yu Xiaozhe was indignant:

"Your reputation will probably hit rock bottom."

Song Que shook his head and said slowly:

"I have been to real hell. What is this in comparison?"
