Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 283 - 14: Major Client_3
"The most critical aspect is that the Masked Chopper Hero usually kills opponents directly, rarely leaving them to suffer agonizing torture,"
"But this new masked figure is different; his methods are extremely brutal, and some of our operatives at Sky Guardian Fortress have fallen victim to him. To spare you the details and not affect your appetite later, I won’t go into specifics. Suffice it to say that, inside and out, there’s not a single spot left intact."

"We are still unclear about the Masked Chopper Hero’s motives, while the new masked figure’s style of crime has a very clear purpose—punishment.
According to criminal psychology, this person likely harbors some sort of distorted sense of justice and is punishing evil with methods more evil than evil itself.
So, based on these points, I believe it’s highly unlikely that this person is the Masked Chopper Hero."
Song Que’s expression remained calm, as if he was indeed engaged in rational analysis.
Li Wanye and the others nodded in agreement, saying,
"Song is commendable in his analysis, as expected. It was an oversight on my part. Now that you mention it, the two masked individuals do seem quite different. However, this person is now a serious threat to us. Regardless of whether his targets are villains, he doesn’t have the right to do this."
Song Que nodded in agreement, adding,
"But as of now, we have no leads on him. We only know that he operates at night, is brutal, and wears a mask with an evil smile painted on it.
His current targets are some fortress officials with clear blemishes on their records.
Moreover, he’s extremely powerful. I’d rather not say this, but I think it would be wise for everyone to watch their own behavior.

This sort of self-appointed law enforcer is very paranoid. He might, like Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen, possess an incredibly strong ability to gather information. The best approach, until we catch him, is to abstain from evil. Otherwise, unless he’s arrested, everyone will have to live in constant fear."
The people in the meeting room displayed vivid expressions upon hearing Song Que’s suggestion.
Song Que quickly scanned their faces, still showing no emotion of his own.
"Then why did he go after the Judgment Knight?" asked Li Zheng.
Song Que shook his head, responding,
"Who knows what goes through a madman’s mind? Maybe he’s just curious about how the Judgment Knight is put together?"
As he spoke, Song Que glanced at Li Wanye.
Li Wanye appeared unfazed, revealing no sign of change in his demeanor.
After some more discussion, Li Wanye spoke up,
"Let’s call it a day for this meeting. I will calculate the cost of producing the Judgment Knights as soon as possible and sell them to you at cost,"
"The future world will surely belong to us humans, and the victory of the Yue Pella campaign will go down in history!"
Following his morale-boosting speech, people gradually started to leave the room. Song Que and Li Zheng discussed the operational strategies for a while.
As the room was nearly empty and Song Que and Li Zheng were about to leave, Li Zheng whispered,
"Has my sister contacted you?"
"No."
"Zhe, even though you’re no longer going to be my brother-in-law, our friendship still stands, right?"
"Of course, Zheng. Rest assured, if I get any word about Yu’s whereabouts, I’ll definitely tell you."
"Good. And you should be careful too. Even though, as you said, that masked devil only targets people with stains on their records or bad behavior, who can predict a madman’s thoughts? He might target you too. You’re the federation’s supreme commander, after all, the finest eyes in the world, and we can’t afford an incident."
Song Que looked intently at Li Zheng and said seriously,
"Don’t worry, Zheng, if one stands upright, there’s no need to fear a crooked shadow. Besides... you and Mr. Li should be careful too. I suspect the masked man has discovered some secrets of the Judgment Knight, and he might be targeting you guys recently."
"Secrets of the Judgment Knight?" Li Zheng looked puzzled at Song Que.
Song Que continued to stare at Li Zheng.
"Never mind, just be careful."
"Alright, I’ll contact you tomorrow."

Sky Guardian Fortress. Third level.
Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen have made a killing these days due to the new policies at Sky Guardian Fortress.
In the bustling streets modeled after Tokyo’s Ginza, they lived in a top-floor hotel, gazing out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the view.
Their days were becoming increasingly luxurious.
"We should probably stop soon. Your tracking and counter-tracking technology have made you a fair bit of money, and my forged documents, counterfeit currency, and fake points have padded my wallet nicely. After this job, we can both retire and wash our hands of this business," Yu Xiaozhe said, looking out the windows.
Lin Sen, on the other hand, fiddled with new phone components that looked quite small and somewhat resembled ancient integrated circuits, but more intricate. He wore twelve-times magnifying glasses and carefully examined the circuitry.
While responding to Yu Xiaozhe, he said,
"Don’t make me out to be as noble as you think. I’m a simple man, a tech geek, living off my handicraft. Money can never be enough for me. In this Pyramid, everything is a sham, only money is real."
Yu Xiaozhe laughed but said nothing.
"I’ve heard the Li family’s princess has gone missing," Lin Sen said squinting his eyes while closely inspecting the circuit board.
"Li Xiaoyu? She’s missing? I haven’t heard any news about her lately. How did you find out?"
"You think I have the same kind of ability as you, to pay with someone else’s identity anytime, anywhere? What allowed us to venture her to Sky Guardian Fortress and make a fortune is the last deal I made.
