Pretending To Be A Boss

Many people in this world rely on first impressions.

Of the few children of order, perhaps only Constantine truly dreaded Tang Xian.

To the Siren, shouldn't this clown-like Number Seven be at his mercy to trample on?

Finding himself to be the victim of such a scheme was nauseating. Anger also clouded his thoughts, and he asked without understanding:

"Didn't you already kill Ju Mang and Ganesa?"

Tang Xian looked at the Siren's raging appearance and found it increasingly amusing:

"Who decreed that a woman with dark green hair must certainly be Ju Mang? Or that a person with Indian curly hair and brown skin must definitely be Ganesa?"

The Siren paused, his breathing became rapid. He was furious that he had been fooled by such a trick.

"But indeed, those two heads did look very much like theirs. After all, they were meant to confuse you."

Tang Xian took a few more steps forward.

He stood at the foot of the huge Ash Dragon, not even sparing it a glance, and continued to speak sarcastically:

"I must admit that Ju Mang is a very powerful woman, after all, she is in charge of a group of people who possess cutting-edge technology. I originally thought Natural Eye and Origin were two different organizations.

But I later realized that although both Natural Eye and Origin are under Ju Mang's control, one operates in the light and the other in the shadow. One conquers the known scientific problems of the world while the other applies these technologies in bizarre and curious ways.

Even those two heads aren't really human heads."

Oh, I didn't know much more about all this than you did, by the way. It's worth mentioning that it's been over twenty years since I last contacted Ju Mang, and I had only seen her a few days ago. Hmm... considering the time since I last saw her, the phrase 'a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood' can no longer describe her."

Regarding Ju Mang, Tang Xian's tone conveyed trust that seemed even stronger than Constantine's.

"Ju Mang's betrayal... I don't believe it. What did you use to persuade her?" The Siren still couldn't understand to this point.

What charisma does this man possess to convince Ju Mang to make such a decision?

Tang Xian nodded and said:

"None of us is a believer in order, are we?"

The Siren understood the meaning of Tang Xian's words.

"Did Constantine betray me because he believes in the followers of order?

Did you choose to collaborate with Constantine against me because of the so-called world of order?

I think all of us realized from a very young age that there is no such thing as gods. We are only doing things that benefit ourselves. It's just under various stances, choosing the most comfortable way to survive.

Ju Mang is the same. She has her own thoughts about this world."

As for when did I start to persuade her? As to this question... you'd better pray that after humans die, they really can become ghosts and then incarnate as evil spirits to haunt me. Maybe then you'll have the chance to know the truth."

In the end, you may question why Ganesa would also defect. In fact, he didn't defect; he simply made a deal with me. I would help him kill you, and he would help me deal with Constantine. It's just a transaction."

When his words ended, Tang Xian did not offer any further explanation. He moved with astonishing speed, instantly passing by several huge mythical creatures!

In the dream world, the Siren was almost an unbeatable existence. But all of this was just a ruse.

The Siren suddenly realized, his teammates might truly have been caught up in some emergencies!

Shocked and enraged, he tried to command the mythical creatures to attack Tang Xian, wanting to create in the dream something that could kill Tang Xian.

These creatures all came from Tang Xian's memory, but Tang Xian had no fear of these mythical creatures at all.

"Even if you can drag me into a dream, I am different from the others; mental invasions are ineffective against me.

This is my dream, and whatever you can do here, I can do too."

Tang Xian's assault accompanied his words, but his speed was clearly not able to keep up with the Siren's.

Even with the ability 'Taste for Marrow,' he couldn't compare in combat skills to those children of order like the Siren, with their innate talent for battle.

But the Siren wasn't having an easy time either.

Watching the huge monsters he had summoned in the dream being forcibly erased by Tang Xian's will, he realized something.

This dream was different from the others.

In past dreams, he was the sole creator and ruler.

But in this dream, Tang Xian had powers equitable to his.

Without saying more, Tang Xian continuously tried to close in on the Siren.

The dream still followed the laws of Eden.

His idea was simple: capture the Siren, and then kill the Siren.

If one receives a heavy blow in the world of consciousness, even though the body in the real world remains intact, the brain will suffer irreversible and irreparable damage.

He gritted his teeth and began frantically summoning beings in the dream that could stop Tang Xian.

Cerberus, Tengu, and even the Azure Dragon and the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon. The Lightning-fast Lei Xiao, or the gigantic White Phosphorus Serpent Demon, herds of Yi Niu and Zudun Giants.

The variety of monsters surprised the Siren once again. What had Number Seven been doing in the mines?

Among these creatures were some with the power to destroy heaven and earth. What exactly was his relationship with these beings?

Tang Xian frowned slightly; as the horde of creatures stormed toward him, he swept his hand—one could see a white streak across the mass of dark-packed monsters. In an instant, the charging horde was erased, leaving only the occasional remnants to disperse like ash and dust within moments.
