Pretending To Be A Boss

"One day, I will uproot the Evolution Zone entirely."

Akasi had said this upon seeing the bloodshot eyes of Tang Suoye at the Evolution Zone branch of the second fortress.

That was a thing of the past, though heartfelt, he knew the difficulty of the task.

But now, fighting side by side with Tang Xian, he had truly achieved this.

The deeper they went, the more they realized the terror of the Evolution Zone.

They also understood just how formidable the power controlled by Xi He was.

The reason why the core members of Lincoln Fortress had been replaced during that year's hunting festival finally became clear.

This fortress had long since become an outpost of the Evolution Zone.

Yet, even such an Evolution Zone was on the brink of destruction following the death of Xi He.

Tang Xian and Akasi ignored the numerous heavy weapons aimed at the super-S level experimental area.

Lincoln Fortress was such a place: they proclaimed freedom, yet revered strength even more.

The affairs of the Evolution Zone were inhumane; there were many experiments that neither the officials of Lincoln Fortress nor the public could accept.

Though the public could never know, the people are unaware that they are the harvest.

These experiments, in anyone's eyes, were absolute evil.

Both the Foreign Affairs Department of Lincoln Fortress and all its public-facing programs would certainly state their denial of support for these experiments.

Because freedom must be built upon good order. But in reality, Tang Xian wasn't optimistic.

"We don't have much time, these people are not difficult to deal with, but they're troublesome," Tang Xian said as he followed the scent in his breath towards the depths of the lab.

"What do we do now? The leader is dead; the Evolution Zone must be completely finished, right?" Akasi followed Tang Xian.

Though there were only two of them, when the guards on the outskirts of Lincoln Fortress saw the notorious masked smiling face, fear stopped them from firing their weapons.

These were all gifted individuals who had participated in the battles on the Yuepela Plains.

The story of the Masked Chopper Hero riding a dragon to save humanity had also reached their ears, and there were quite a few who had experienced it themselves.

Today, the dragon had rammed into the fifth layer, and the Masked Chopper Hero appeared, leaving them even more conflicted. The encirclement was complete, yet the firefight had yet to begin.

"Meet up with Tang Suoye and the others. And in passing, destroy the Evolution Zone, eliminate all those records completely," Tang Xian commanded.

"I thought you'd want to look at that research," Akasi said.

Tang Xian shook his head:

"These documents may be precious, the organization although evil, Pandora's box has been opened. How many pursuers of power will willingly close it again?

Especially Lincoln Fortress, which has been number one and is now suddenly second place, if they had technological means comparable to the Knights of Judgment, the likelihood of them not using it is too small.

The Evolution Zone is a symbol; it represents the obsessions of wanting to become more powerful itself. It wasn't that Xi He was there that the Evolution Zone existed, these disgusting experiments have always been around.

We can't stop them, but we can slow down these ambitions."

They moved quickly. Tang Suoye, alongside Yuan Wu and Tang Feiji, were also efficient.

Shortly after Tang Xian entered the deeper area of the lab, he saw Tang Feiji holding up a weakened Song Que, reluctant.

Song Que's expression was somewhat vacant, completely lost.

Tang Xian wasn't surprised, presumably the people of the Evolution Zone would find it difficult to get anything from Song Que, at least some psychological invasion methods were ineffective. They could only use drugs to make Song Que enter a state of exhaustion.

"Tang... you've come." Despite this, Song Que managed to maintain clear thoughts.

Tang Xian admired Song Que's willpower, something he might not have managed to do himself.

"Are there still people here in the Pyramid whom you remember?"

Song Que was stunned, nodded, but then shook his head again and said:

"I still miss them... one day, I will take them away from the Pyramid..."

Tang Xian wasn't sure how much Xi He had told Song Que, he knew that Song Que was referring to his family, and also knew that Song Que's understanding of the Pyramid and the world had advanced a step further.

He patted Song Que on the shoulder and said softly:

"At least they are still alive. The Order's control over humans begins on a spiritual level; we still have time to unravel this control bit by bit."

"Such grand ambitions don't sound like you, Tang," Song Que said.

Tang Xian was taken aback. Was his usual image really that of a sluggard? But he didn't deny it and said:

"I'm just an ordinary person who goes through growth as well."

Song Que nodded, pretending that the man before him wasn't bragging, his expression gradually firming as he said:

"Let's go, back to Baichuan City. I hope I, a talentless failure, can still serve as your deputy mayor."

Tang Xian smiled and replied:

"You won't be a failure. A friend of mine sent me a gift that isn't of much significance to me, but it's very suitable for you."

Song Que didn't quite understand.

Tang Xian didn't elaborate and then said:

"Tang Feiji, get ready to destroy this place."

As the words fell, the group cooperated tacitly.

Yuan Wu and Tang Suoye used telekinesis to construct a defensive work, while Akasi opened a transport rift.

The orange light in Tang Feiji's eyes surged as if he was a god descending to earth. With the suppression of the Hundred Beasts hidden Kirin gone, he was the most terrifying monster here.
