Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 549 - 14: The True Successor of Constantine

Li Wanye had to admit that the man before him was exceedingly handsome; even accustomed to seeing a face like Li Xiaonian's, the unique allure of Siren's beauty still took him by surprise.

Words like captivating and elegant seem somewhat inappropriate when used to describe a man, but for Siren, these terms were quite fitting.

In the entertainment industry, there are many beautiful men and women, but the financial backers behind the scenes often appear very ordinary, even to the point of being corpulent and pot-bellied.

Siren was different.

As the head of the world's largest entertainment company, the owner of nearly monopolistic industry resources, Siren himself was an exceedingly handsome man.

He would attend various events as well, where some might think he was an upcoming star, but they would soon change their mind.

When his gaze fell on anyone, that person couldn't help but feel ashamed and inferior.

Most of the time, he wore a black tailcoat, like an elf waiting to perform or some master entertainer from a royal court. Today was no exception.

"Number Seven is a difficult man to control, I must admit, we all underestimated him.

It seems fate is also on his side; I never thought that one day he would come with an army to oppose the world that bred him."

Siren seemed to have known Li Wanye for a long time, with a bewitching sorrow in his eyes, as if recounting a beautiful yet misguided past.

"Compared to the rest of them, I actually sympathize with Number Seven. Though bullying him is indeed an interesting thing, who doesn't have a less than perfect past?

It's a shame, though, I can't become friends with him. Even if I detest others as he does. But having tasted the wine of power, how can one settle for the blandness of an ordinary life?"

Li Wanye remained silent throughout, feeling as if the man before him, who seemed to have stepped out of a fairyland, commanded everything around to listen quietly as soon as he spoke.

"Uranus, Xi He, Ju Mang, Ganesa... their codenames are all of the highest gods, while Constantine is an exorcist, and only I represent the Siren, ostensibly the odd one out among them.

Misfits should attract and resonate with one another. Unfortunately, poor Number Seven is unwilling to accept my invitation."

As if completely forgetting the purpose of his visit, Siren began reminiscing about the past in front of someone he had met for the first time.

"Why did he leave me, my poor Prometheus? After he left, my life became exceedingly dull.

Learning that he is still alive and has even eliminated Xi He is truly exciting. Mr. Li Wanye, do you understand the joy of a long-awaited reunion?

Ah... but alas, I am not yet able to meet him, at least I should prepare a gift for our encounter."

If Tang Xian's acting was about highlighting realism,

then Siren's acting was about emphasizing the extravagant.

Li Wanye, looking at Siren, who had plunged into sorrow just a second ago, couldn't help thinking that this person might have lost a dear friend.

But in the next second, Siren's expression twisted into something grotesque:

"He really should make up for these twenty years, compensating for my dull life that he owes!"

Bloodshot eyes filled Siren's gaze, and the ferocious look, even on such a handsome face, appeared terrifying and sinister.

Li Wanye remained silent, as if his spirit was being steered by Siren.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, Mr. Li Wanye. As the greatest supporter of humanity, you've given me a powerful army.

The Golden Knight Judicators and even the higher ranks like the Chiliarch can no longer be created. They belong to a non-renewable resource.

That requires a massive amount of Soul Crystal. We encourage humans to hunt in the mines and grant them power, but even so, the progress is too slow.

Only during the battle for true unification of that world, when the gods awaken, do we deploy these forces.

But not for the Bronze Knights. Honestly, I didn't expect you could create so many Bronze Knights in such a short time.

It's remarkable. Your emotions are not very stable, poor Number Seven must have threatened you with a harsh stance, right?"

Siren's gaze became gentle again, the previously twisted monstrous visage as if it never existed.

"Don't worry, he's not a true Eden magus child, but an authentic Demigod, the weakest among us. Although he received the devil's gift, Eden has been destroyed, and killing another remnant is not too difficult a task."

Li Wanye was able to understand Siren's words, as Tang Xian had also mentioned the existence beyond a lord when discussing details with him.

Yet, strangely enough, his thoughts couldn't drift to other matters, unable to calculate against this young man before him.

Li Wanye faintly realized that his spirit seemed to be under control.

He wanted to resist, but had no way to begin.

Siren's mouth curved into an amused smile, sensing the anomaly as well:

"You truly are an interesting human."

With only their voice, the Sirens could bewitch others, and this was just the most basic of Siren's abilities; his combat methods were far more powerful.

But in the mines where no one could use their talents, this simple ability was enough to easily bewitch a lord.

Even if that lord was Li Wanye.

Li Wanye even felt his memories being probed.
