Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 350 - 41: Two Sacred Places (Major Section)_3

"I am familiar with Tang Jikede, brother-in-law, and you really do resemble the part you’re playing. Especially that paranoid feeling of his limping yet refusing to use a walking stick. And helping this gentleman won’t cause me any trouble," Li Xiaonian said with a smile.

Tang Xian smiled and frowned, but did not correct Li Xiaonian’s mistaken appellation.

"You’ve changed quite a bit, must be tough taking over for your sister."

"Yeah, my sister… she did handle many things really well. She had no prejudices against anyone, and for that reason, business was able to pick up. I’m trying hard to learn from her."

Li Xiaonian paused, then asked worriedly:

"Is she alright?"

"She’s fine. Perhaps a long time from now, you’ll see her again, but rest assured, she’ll be happier during this process than when she was living in the Pyramid."

"Alright, tell me, what’s the matter?"

Li Xiaonian indeed had changed, just as Li Xiaoyu had also changed.

The growth of a man is just like this, perhaps overnight, he can transform from an ignorant boy into a man capable of protecting his family.

Tang Xian and Li Xiaonian began to talk business. Everything went smoothly. However, Li Xiaonian also mentioned some troublesome aspects, implying he was under strict surveillance and hoped that after accepting his help, Tang Xian wouldn’t stir up too much trouble.

Tang Xian understood what he meant and felt even more that Li Xiaonian was quite clever.

The next afternoon, Tang Xian and Yuan Wu arrived at Kaysen Fortress.

The guards at Kaysen Fortress were much stricter than during Tang Xian’s last visit.

But compared to the thirty-nine fortresses, it fell far short. He even scarcely saw a wanted poster of himself.

Ke Ye came down personally to the lower level after receiving a phone call from Tang Xian, escorting him to the fifth level.

Upon understanding Tang Xian’s purpose, Ke Ye did not delay as he knew Tang Xian couldn’t stay for long.

Having undergone the surgery once, doing it again became much simpler.

Ke Ye and Tang Xian were the only two responsible for Yuan Wu’s spinal alignment removal surgery, without calling for anyone else.

At this moment, they were at the operating table. Tang Xian was in charge of making the incision while Ke Ye assisted and monitored the instrument data.

The two worked together seamlessly, and the process appeared quite relaxed.

"I heard you were locked up for a while?" Tang Xian initiated the conversation.

"Yes, but it’s nothing serious. After I got out, Mr. Li Zhenjiang quickly promoted me within the House of Daedalus. Those who snitched on me were also ostracized by everyone," Ke Ye said. Find more to read at novelbuddy

"That’s good. It caused you trouble because of my matters, and I will make restitution for these things."

"Since when did you become so formal?"

Tang Xian and Ke Ye shared a smile.

Tang Xian then said:

"The last thing I need to do in the Pyramid is to bring my companion here to remove the hidden danger within him."

Ke Ye asked:

"Where will you go afterward?"

"There are still many dangers I need to deal with in the mining area. I’ve also fully prepared regarding supplies, so I probably won’t be coming back to the Pyramid for a long time."

Ke Ye nodded and said:

"In any case, you know how to find me."

The surgery was very smooth, and when Yuan Wu saw the chip taken out of his cervical spine, he actually cried.

The usually restrained young man burst into loud crying, leaving Ke Ye somewhat at a loss.

Tang Xian knew that Yuan Wu probably felt a surge of happiness, but just couldn’t laugh it out.

His most intense emotions were all poured into sadness and fear.

Watching this scene, Tang Xian thought that when he next returned to the Pyramid, he should consider taking down the Evolution Zone for good.

Not long after the surgery was finished, Yuan Wu went back to the mining area alone.

To compensate Ke Ye, Tang Xian wrote down some of his experiences with the use of the Limitless Glove, including its downsides and suggestions for improvement.

Ke Ye was thrilled, but a bit frustrated for not being able to create a new set of Limitless Gloves on the spot.

Tang Xian was not in a hurry.

It would be a long time before he returned to the Pyramid again.

The first fortress.

Song Que sat in his office, holding documents in his hand, carefully examining the information gathered in the past few days.

Tang Xian had asked Song Que to inquire about the conditions at the bottom levels of some fortresses.

Song Que had never really conducted such investigations before.

After he spread out all of Yu Xiaozhe, Lin Sen, and his own the Song Family’s intelligence resources, he indeed found quite a few fortresses that met Tang Xian’s requirements.

For instance, the eleventh fortress. This fortress had a disproportionate number of men to women at the bottom level, leading to a gender imbalance that resulted in a hostile atmosphere, turning people violent.

Another example was Kaysen Fortress, located in Oceania, far from the national fortresses. However, internet research showed that the people in its lower levels often protested and struck, refusing to mine and demanding higher wages.

There were so many such fortresses, and the oppression at the lower levels was an issue that went overlooked.

Song Que didn’t know how to pick the worst among them for a moment.

So he went through the bottom-level data of each fortress one by one.

In doing so, Song Que noticed a fortress that unexpectedly caught his attention.

Sacred Land Fortress.

It is a fortress on the border of the national districts.

The reason there is a federation is that not all fortresses stubbornly cling to national borders like the national districts or the Neon District.

Many fortresses, at the beginning of the Pyramid’s arrival, were situated right on the borders.

Many countries had no choice but to integrate, eventually forming the Fortress Federation.

Sacred Land Fortress was a multi-ethnic fortress.

However, most of the people there were Huaxia.

Calling it the fifty-seventh fortress wouldn’t be incorrect.

Such a fortress, with minimal presence and only having opened up its sixth level about thirty years ago, had very low production output and frequent riots. Yet, there had never been reports of the lower-level inhabitants causing unrest.
