Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 875 - 47: The Impossible Alliance_3

Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"Talking about serious business?"

"Yes."

Qi Yuan and Tang Xian sat opposite each other, like the CEOs of two major corporations.

They thought about acquiring each other, then were surprised to find that all along there were not two companies, but rather two subsidiaries of one company.

Li Xiaoyu was unaware of these details, while Tang Jing understood some, but not the specifics.

The first to ask a question was Tang Xian.

"What exactly is my relationship with the Lord of Eden?"

"It's like my relationship with the Lord of Eden."

"You are created by it, but I am not."

"Though we are opposites, we are also the same."

"Having become human, you should learn to speak like one."

The two exchanged remarks in turn.

The last comment made by Tang Xian strangely satisfied Tang Jing.

Qi Yuan looked somewhat puzzled but quickly understood and explained:

"I am a war tool created by it, determined to become human. Whereas you are a human gradually turning into its tool."

Li Xiaoyu was startled, this statement causing her great unease.

Tang Xian's expression remained composed, finding this explanation more acceptable. He continued to ask:

"Do you know about the Heart of Eden?"

"I've only seen it on the panels of Tang Wen and Zhong Yao, but I haven't comprehended its true power. However, one thing is certain, the Lord of Eden never does anything altruistic."

"So everything I obtain, it obtains as well?"

"Yes. This is not difficult to achieve. It's like the capabilities I devised on the Order's Son, which I possess as well." Qi Yuan said.

Tang Xian's frown deepened, then he spoke again:

"Then why didn't you stop me at the beginning?"

"Why would I stop you?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you if I didn't receive the Beast God's inheritance?"

"You are mistaken. The Lord of Eden is monitoring us in ways we do not know. If the plan deviates from its preset trajectory, we will both face trouble. After all, the devices that can destroy me are still in the hands of the judges, and I cannot be certain whether it has left behind any precautions. The same applies to you, especially since you are burdened with something called 'humanity'."

Li Xiaoyu was taken aback, the meaning sounding like a dragon and a warrior teaming up against a deity.

"How does it monitor us?"

"Think about it, how did you find the house hiding the truth?"

The Order did not know about the tower, so a house was used to indicate it, but she knew that Tang Xian would inevitably discover the clues left by the Lord of Eden.

"A fox..."

Before he could finish, Tang Xian was taken aback, only just realizing the inconsistency.

Why would a six-tailed fox know about the island in the thick fog? Bai Shuang was unaware, how could a fox know?

Tang Xian recalled for a moment and realized he had indeed been careless at that time.

The fox clan elder was elderly, and his tone was like narrating an ethereal legend, so though not very credible at the moment, Tang Xian had still pursued it out of a better-safe-than-sorry attitude.

Looking at it now, this fox was indeed suspicious.

"The Eden Tribe possesses lifespans far exceeding other species; they can transform into any form of life." Qi Yuan said.

This statement suddenly alerted Tang Xian.

"The crystallization of the Eden Tribe is very unique, even I cannot discern who they have disguised as in a short time."

Qi Yuan's expression was intriguing:

"In other words, perhaps much of the information you thought you have discovered was actually conspiracies meticulously wrapped. Not only among beasts, but couldn't there be among humans too?"

This statement seemed to bring about a huge trust crisis on the spot.

But Tang Xian soon organized his own network of relationships and somewhat calmed down. One could disguise appearances but not the heart.

Tang Xian could not guarantee that all the people he knew were absolutely trustworthy, but at least the Sheng Tang Squad and those close to him, as well as the beasts, were not problematic.

Tang Xian and Qi Yuan locked gazes, suddenly understanding that Qi Yuan had also begun laying out plans much earlier.

"This is the reason why I granted these talents to the Son of Order, from the beginning it was to seek out targets who could be trusted."

The few people in the room were silent.

After a long time, Tang Xian suddenly smiled.

Fighting with beasts, with humans, was endlessly delightful and enjoyable.

Now that the Lord of Eden wanted to change the heavens, it was merely changing from fighting on earth to fighting the heavens."

His smile grew more carefree as he looked at Qi Yuan and said:

"If you and I join forces, can we kill it? I have organized all the information and concluded only this goes beyond its schemes."

"That is indeed why I came to find you. To kill the Lord of Eden, there are only two steps. The first step is to find it and force it from behind the scenes to the forefront. It is not currently an insolvable existence, so the second step, kill it."
