Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 523 - 2: The Tang Clan Swindle_3

Before the absolute domination of machines over humanity arrived, Tang Xian and Song Que decided to do something even more shocking than the Dragon Assault incident.

It was truly a grand gesture.

But this matter still required some preparation.

"Tang, there's something I don't understand,"

"Go ahead."

"Among the Order's Children, you acted as a defective product because you had no talent. But when you hadn't fully recovered your memories, you really didn't have any talents, right?"

Tang Xian had told Akasi about this, and now he told Song Que.

After returning to Baichuan City soon after, he would also tell Li Xiaoyu, but only these three would know. No one else would be informed.

Song Que and Akasi each had a kind of power that was revered and feared by the Order's followers.

As for Li Xiaoyu—

He simply didn't want to hide it from her.

"Yes, I still have no talents even now; I have never been able to see the ten types of combat data."

"Then... back then, what means did you use to deal with Konstant... no, I should say Prometheus. How did you use fear to make him submit?"

"It's worth mentioning that at that time, I was capable."

"What do you mean?"

"Song Que, I'm not much smarter than you. In a way, Prometheus and I just awakened our intellects earlier, though I probably awoke a bit earlier than him.

The Order's Children's abilities were also reflected in the exploration of physical strength. What if I told you that I began burning my talent twenty years ago?"

Song Que was shocked, completely dumbfounded.

"The Order's Children are actually not some monstrous beings with three heads and six arms. They just hold higher power. Xi He might be tougher to deal with than the latter ones, but he is already dead.

Don't think of them as too mythical. They are but ordinary humans after all.

But compared to ordinary talented individuals, the Order's Children have more perfect genes that can withstand more aggressive serums.

Perhaps the reason my parents were torn between choosing number seven or number one was that they thought only number one could withstand the Eden lineage?

But I don't have that memory, and I'm not sure.

In any case, other Order's members are essentially a combination of top experimental subjects and top chosen ones.

And their talents do not cease to be useful upon arriving in the Pyramid World.

But they are fundamentally human, and how does that saying go—'when killed, a person will die.'"

Indeed, Tang Xian didn't think the Order's Children were that hard to deal with. What truly warranted vigilance was the instigator of the great calamity, always hiding in the shadows, even unknown to both himself and Prometheus, the "God."

He paused, then continued:

"We also have to explore and unearth our abilities; they don't just come naturally. Just like you took twenty-four years to understand that you could burn your talent, I took about… eleven months?"

Song Que was speechless.

At the time, he truly thought it was a burst of cosmic energy and hadn't thought too much about it.

But this matter should still not be so easy, right?

Even if he wasn't the first one to do it, he shouldn't have fallen twenty-four years behind his peers so suddenly, right?

"Prometheus naturally tried to resist, but the gap between burning talent and normal state was too vast, and his fear of me began at that time. They are so afraid of death that it probably didn't take them many years to figure out the ability to burn their talents. You see, you're not much worse than the other Order's Children."

Tang Xian patted Song Que on the back, speaking with an air of triviality like someone who just solved a math problem before anyone else:

"Moreover, humanity sometimes gives rise to certain extremely terrifying entities, like your other personality."

Song Que begrudgingly accepted this consolation, facing Tang Xian with a sense that when you think this person is showing off, he might genuinely feel that the matter is quite ordinary.

The Palace of Versailles was right in front of them.

Song Que asked:

"So, what exactly are we going to get?"

"We're going to retrieve the talent that belongs to you."
