Pretending To Be A Boss

```

The Eyes' duties were actually not limited to being a mining area knowledge consultant; they were also responsible for task distribution, battle formation choices, support strategies, and so on.

"You and Tang Suoye take a good rest here, I'll return to the Pyramid later. Bu Jing is reliable, but there are some aftermath matters I need to personally inquire about before I can rest assured."

"After we get the visas for the fifty-first fortress, I'll come to pick you up, ready to head to the fifty-first fortress to help you get that thing out of your spine."

Akasi nodded.

"This cat is named Tang Bingxiang, and this bird is Tang Gazi; they're both my teammates."

"Were those girls last time also?"

"Yes, the one with the big chest is named Tang, and the flat-chested one is Tang Busi. Later, I'll have her come and look after Tang Suoye for you; she's a doctor. In terms of her profession, she's somewhat stronger than me."

"Wait, these aren't their real names, right?"

"Just code names."

"So what am I called?"

"Tang."

"Did you have that ready, or did you think of it just now?"

Akasi didn't really mind the name. It was pretty straightforward.

"I had it prepared beforehand."

"Why do I get the feeling that you've had your eye on me for a while?"

"Fate, indescribable."

After returning to the Pyramid, Tang Xian found that his phone was about to explode with messages.

All of them were from several women—Dong Ran, Li Xiaoyu, Qiao Shanshan all had sent some.

Li Xiaoyu's were more numerous, around twenty-five or so.

Tang Xian felt there was nothing to say, mainly feeling sorry about the phone bill. He had already told Bu Jing the requirements for the visa application, and Bu Jing was still dealing with it.

There didn't seem to be anything else to say. However, it didn't take long for Li Xiaoyu to call again.

Tang Xian had no choice but to answer.

"I just received news that a war alert has been issued for the fourth layer of the second fortress's Evolution Zone. Does it have something to do with you?"

"An unnecessary question."

"My brother has a cooperation with them, and he had just invested in the Evolution Zone not long ago. He's really furious now."

"Between Li Zheng and you, who has more say?"

"Him."

"Alright, please pass on the message to Li Zheng for me—investment comes with risk."

"Which force is helping you, has a federal organization secretly recruited you?"

Li Xiaoyu indeed couldn't imagine how Tang Xian, an ordinary person, could take down an Evolution Zone? She believed in Tang Xian's intelligence; he must have found a very powerful organization to help him.

She had been trying her best to stay calm; this matter had not yet spread, but in the next few days, the high-levels of the world's fortresses would probably all be focused on this matter.

Tang Xian wasn't in a position to say much, so he went along with the conversation:

"I can't tell you. But you're an accomplice too; don't forget what I've cautioned you about, don't leave any traces in the clean-up. As for Li Zheng, I'll think of a way to drag him into this."

To deal with the Evolution Zone, it was impossible to truly rely only on himself and Akasi. Bringing the Li family into the mix was also part of Tang Xian's plan.

"What do you want to tell my brother?"

"Isn't he doing business with the Evolution Zone? I'll take care of these businesses now. Don't worry, I won't let him lose out."

"Before this gets out of hand, I'll arrange for him to talk to you," Li Xiaoyu realized she had sufficiently esteemed Tang Xian, yet she still underestimated this man's abilities.

"Alright, have him wait for me at the fifty-first fortress. Phone calls are pretty expensive, so it's not suitable to talk about it here," Tang Xian ended the call.

Li Xiaoyu was bewildered for a couple of seconds, then jumped up angrily. Why did this man always use that excuse to hang up the phone?
