Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 548 - 13: The Great Demon King’s Negotiation Skills_3

"The future you believe in will never come to pass, and all your efforts to strengthen your own power are just crafting a bridal gown for the orchestrators behind the scenes."

Face to face with Li Wanye, Tang Xian's words were a mix of truth and fiction, but the words he just spoke were no lie.

In Tang Xian's view, if the orchestrators truly existed, they were indeed like the shadowy overlords commonly found in bottom-tier network novels.

Li Wanye's eyes widened as Tang Xian's words made him feel as if the power he thought he possessed had all but turned into a mirage.

Even if those words might very well be false. But to those who chase after power, even the mere possibility of losing it can instill deep fear.

Tang Xian knew he had already persuaded him halfway.

He wasn't in a rush.

"And you? Do you desire nothing from humankind?" After a long silence, Li Wanye finally spoke.

"I am different; I hold what the orchestrators desire most. I am the 'entity' they have always wanted to become. I don't need to evolve by analyzing human behavior.

My evolution… comes from killing.

And the most excellent and powerful genes, in another world, so indeed I am not an enemy of humankind. But I can be, if you remain obstinately ignorant."

The atmosphere turned tense and grim.

Tang Xian rhythmically tapped on Li Wanye's desk.

After a long while, Li Wanye said:

"What exactly must be done?"

"I must remind you, you can't lie in front of me."

Aside from that centuries-old white deer, Tang Xian truly hadn't met anyone who could conceal their true thoughts in front of him.

Li Wanye said:

"I am conducting business with you. I know honesty is paramount in business, especially when one is at a disadvantage."

Tang Xian was pleased with Li Wanye's honesty.

Of course, what pleased him most was the honesty rate which was over 40.

He calmly began discussing various details with Li Wanye.

The more Li Wanye listened, the more alarmed he became.

This was indeed a colossal plan that could lead humanity out of Pyramid, and its reach was extremely long-term.

Throughout their conversation, Li Wanye's concern was whether the human retreat would encounter obstacles from the orchestrators' forces.

But Tang Xian had taken all these issues into account as well.

The two men talked in detail for a full hour, during which Li Wanye felt somewhat dazed.

Tang Xian seemed to be considering everything for the sake of humanity, almost trying to minimize all losses.

Such a person... seemed somehow different from the overbearing demon king he had been moments before.

...

...

Time flew by quickly, and Tang Xian's plan was to first eliminate the class disparity between the gifted and non-gifted.

As for the plan to move all of humanity to Baichuan City, he hadn't even considered it.

When leaving, Tang Xian swaggered out as expected.

Only after Tang Xian had been gone for quite some time did Li Wanye let out a long sigh.

He sat there quietly, still appearing as dignified as ever, only his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The fear in his eyes betrayed the dread in his heart.

But this matter was far from over.

After Tang Xian left the Thirty-Nine Stronghold, Li Wanye could no longer focus on other matters. The news and plans brought by Tang Xian were too shocking.

He sat alone in his study, unmoving for a long time.

Only when the door to the study was knocked on again did he slowly lift his head, looking puzzled at the visitor.

"Sorry to disturb you. To be visited twice in one day by uninvited guests must be quite tiresome. Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Siren."

(Planned for ten to twenty thousand words... but only got to eight thousand, my apologies, consider it one update owed)
