Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 522 - 2: The Tang Clan Swindle_2
"Then you would all have died one after another, and would not have lived to see today. Moreover, do not forget, when Number Seven was kidnapped, all the subsequent response measures were devised by me. And because of that, when Xi He died, each of you knew immediately, did you not?"
Ju Mang stopped talking, and ultimately, not wanting to become the subject of collective suspicion, she was willing to share her whereabouts with Constantine.
Deep down, she also did not want to believe that Constantine was the traitor, because he behaved too perfectly.
A cool head, powerful talent, his awakened ability in the mechanical pantheon was almost unbeatable.
Therefore, Ju Mang could not imagine a scene where Constantine colluded with Eden's demonic children to betray God.
Before the meeting ended, Constantine mentioned some precautions, provided data on demonic children, and deduced the possible experiences of the demonic children.
He acted as though he was truly considering capturing the demonic children and did not arouse suspicions among the others, but the distrust among the children of order was ignited by him.
While everyone was preparing, Constantine cast a suggestive glance at Ganesa.
Ganesa understood, intentionally leaving last, and only after the others' afterimages had disappeared did he slowly say:
"Something on your mind?"
"Ganesa, I know you are not the traitor. Among the conclusions we have drawn so far, you are the most trustworthy."
"And how did you come to know this?" Ganesa was curious.
"You do not need to know how I judge. But in your heart, you are very clear that if there is a traitor among us, it is definitely not you. After all, you would know the things you have done."
Ganesa could not deny these words. Indeed, it was not only Ju Mang, but Siren, Uranus, including himself, who had suspected the overseer Constantine.
But it was only suspicion they dared not voice. Now, as if pulled into one camp, Ganesa felt trusted and subconsciously began to trust Constantine a bit as well.
Constantine continued:
"In the future, we will become the masters of the pantheon, controlling the entire world from within it, and we will gain a super civilization that this world may not manage even after several hundreds of years. Therefore, we must put the task of staying alive first."
"I agree, so?"
"So, I need you to help me clarify something."
"What is it?"
"Help me confuse Ju Mang. Her reactions are very strange, you must have noticed, right?"
"Strange? That woman may just always be cautious."
"But also always a bit standoffish. And among those who bullied Number Seven, she was the only one who never laid a hand on her, right?" Constantine said with a meaningful tone.
These words finally caused a change in Ganesa's expression; he took a moment to reflect—and indeed found that during every instance of bullying Number Seven, Ju Mang was the only one standing aside, watching coldly.
"What do you want me to do exactly?"
"I will leak some of my own whereabouts. In the coming days, I will not always be in the overseer's office."
"And then I tell Ju Mang these records. If Ju Mang truly is the traitor, then she would fear you most and will find a way to eliminate you? But you are prepared in advance."
Ganesa quickly grasped Constantine's intention.
"Yes, my clever friend."
"There should be some benefits for me as well."
"In return, I will inform you about Siren. He has entrusted me with closely—watching you."
Ganesa sneered coldly, unsurprised that Siren would do such things.
Because in the division of authority between Silver and Gold Judgment Knights, their positions conflicted.
In such a situation, of course, choosing to have only one survivor was best.
Their transaction was completed, and after the last afterimage vanished, Constantine revealed a sinister smile.
For the overseer, knowing the whereabouts of other children of order was not difficult, that was the power that came with the name "Constantine".
His actions seemed somewhat superfluous, deliberately telling others and letting them know they were being watched, his intentions were elusive.
The motives of "Constantine" were probably known only to Constantine himself.

Human civilization was nearly destroyed due to the great calamity and the migration to the Pyramid.
But the continuity of memory also preserved many customs.
Just like Lincoln Fortress still had the Pentagon. And the Statue of Liberty.

And the French Fortress still had the Palace of Versailles, where something agreed upon by two "Constants" was hidden in that lavish palace.
The world was in chaos, and it took Tang Xian a great deal of effort to reach the French Fortress after the closure of visas.
Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen's side had their own meticulous arrangements—
Tang Xian was still Tang Jikede, while Song Que became Frederick Song.
The lonely old gentleman turned into an old gentleman traveling with a companion.
Then, through the safety zone of the mining area, from the portable translocation rift's gate, after various official inspections, they were allowed entry.
When they arrived on the Champs-Élysées, the night of the fortress was still beautiful.
The young ladies still exuded an overflowing French charm.
Tang Xian and Song Que walked slowly together, heading toward the Palace of Versailles to retrieve a certain item.
Many significant events had taken place in the world these days.
The demand for Judgment Knights from the various fortresses had increased. Tang Xian and Song Que also came to understand some of the sinister secrets of the Judgment Knights.
The two of them briefly analyzed what consequences would arise if the number of humans fell below that of the Judgment Knights, and they already had a rough idea.
