Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 526 - 4: Pretending Not to Be in Love

"Of course, don't rush. After all these years, it feels like you've become more human, but you're still so cold towards me," Constantine said with a smile.

Standing in a telephone booth late at night with other people following looked quite odd.

Especially since Frederick Song and Tang Jikede, the two old gentlemen, made for an even stranger picture.

Tang Xian didn't avoid Song Que and said:

"First impressions are lasting, and besides, you surely don't suffer from Stockholm syndrome, do you? If you did, I might consider being nicer to you."

"Forget it, talking about feelings only hurts them. Let's talk business. For the past twenty years, while you've been wandering around the Human World, I've put a great deal of effort into working. Finally, I've managed to get a clear understanding of the foundations of this power," Constantine's tone became slightly more serious.

"Let's start with the target, Ganesa, our first assassination target. The order can't be changed, otherwise the game layout will be disrupted.

This Order Son of Indian descent is named after the Indian elephant god, also known as the remover of obstacles.

His offensive abilities are very strong, he's like the mightiest spear. Being touched by his attack feels like having one's soul drained—as if even after successfully defending, life force is still significantly lost.

It's similar to what's recorded in the Godly Seats about the Eden demon child, involving soul attacks? Or perhaps percentage-based life-draining attacks? Anyway, when facing him, it's best to keep him in a state where he can't attack because he can break through all defenses. Taking him out while he's distracted by Ju Mang would be the best scenario."

"And then you pin the blame on Ju Mang?"

"You figured it out, haha, hahaha," Constantine chuckled dryly.

Song Que watched Tang Xian's expression from the side and felt it was odd.

After recovering his memories, Tang Xian indeed experienced a brief period of confusion, but now he seemed quite dismissive of his past identity.

This was actually beneficial.

"What about Ganesa's duties?"

"His duties are somewhat similar to those of Siren; both are in charge of the weapons for the next era. However, Siren has higher authority, possessing the right to use the Chiliarch. This setup was probably intended for Ganesa to assist Siren. But it seems unlikely that the two of them will ever trust each other, which is advantageous to us."

"Weapons for the next era?"

"Yes, the highest order of the Judgment Knights—the Golden Judgment Knights and the leader-type Chiliarch."

"How are these high-order Judgment Knights obtained? Through unlocking tiers in the Pyramid hierarchy?"

"How could that be possible? Would you give your strongest equipment to the chives? The Bronze Judgment Knights, which are gradually becoming widespread across the fortresses in the Human World, are merely the lowest-grade products. Even though the capabilities of the Exhaustive Ray aren't much different, the overall performance is only sufficient against Perfect-level creatures.

Silver level is the strongest weapon humans can obtain, with performance comparable to Perfect-level boss creatures. But they are nothing more than scraps from the Golden Judgment Knights.

Golden Judgment Knights can be seen as mass-produced calamity-level beings. As for the Chiliarchs, Siren cherishes them, not willing to reveal any data to me, so they must be quite rare.

In short, Siren and Ganesa are like the grand marshals of the soldiers and horses.

After eliminating Ganesa, Siren will be the only power left. That guy has a monster living inside him, and he's been quite close to Uranus.

But who knows what 'friendly' actions he might take?"

Xi He's assessment of Constantine was that he's a monster that lacks humanity but deeply understands it.

This Constantine obviously was not Tang Xian.

Listening to Constantine's words, Tang Xian frowned slightly but ultimately said nothing, merely continuing to ask:

"What about Ganesa's job in reality?"

"The world's largest arms dealer. He's responsible for many of the raw materials used to produce weapons in several industrial fortresses, like Sky Guardian Fortress, Lincoln Fortress, and others. It's not hard to meet him, easier than meeting Xi He—that is, if Xi He isn't foolish enough to directly show up on our doorstep. Speaking of which, your move was brilliant, he used Song Que as bait to lure the test subjects, and you used Song Que as bait to lure him."

Tang Xian didn't buy into this conspiracy theory, after all, he didn't even know Xi He at the time, but he didn't bother to argue with Constantine and continued to inquire:

"You mentioned his approach to Ju Mang, so what about her information?"

"Don't touch that woman. She's more complicated than we thought. Although I can monitor any place in the world's fortresses with surveillance equipment, Ju Mang rarely appears.

I can tell you about her real-world job, though. It's a technical role; she's responsible for brain domain research and has a group of decent scientists under her. Their organization is called 'Origin', a top circle of scientists within the Federation. But not many of these scientists know about Ju Mang.

She always operates behind the scenes. As for the Order, she's in charge of education. Interestingly enough, none of the children sent to Godly Seats over the years could compare to us—we're leagues apart. That's why Xi He took an interest in Song Que.

Ju Mang has always been cautious, particularly of me. Come to think of it, why didn't she bully you back then? It seems she hasn't figured anything out yet. Could it be she has a soft spot for you?"
