Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

He directly came to the Kang De family.

Xiaoman ran over and opened the door. Wang Yongzhi rushed in and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Kang De, who had stood up from the sofa, was unharmed from top to bottom.

At this moment, Kang De’s mental strength was already extremely powerful and his perception was sharp. He noticed the change in Uncle Wang’s emotions, from disbelief to relief… This made his heart stir.

!!

It seemed that although Uncle Wang had retired from the army and was in business, his contact with the officials was not weak at all. Calculating the time, it had been almost a day since the United States and France attacked the western airport of Comoros. Uncle Wang had most likely received this “bad news” and did not dare to tell Xiaoman.

Then, he heard from his daughter that this kid had performed a special trick.

He was relieved and angry. He glared and said, “Your wings have hardened!”

The Kang and Wang families were on good terms. Wang Yongzhi and Kang Jinzhu had a relationship that was like asking his wife to give him a son. It was very normal to reprimand them. After all, in Uncle Wang’s opinion, what Kang De had done was really bold. He had caused such a huge commotion and the entire non-northwest was in chaos.

Of course, Xiaoman stood on Kang De’s side. “What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Your wings are old and hard. Then? You hired someone to save Uncle Kang, but in the end, you still had to let Kang De help save them. Now that everyone is safe, what’s wrong? What else are you dissatisfied with?”

Wang Yongzhi looked at the basin of water in front of him and gritted his teeth. Safe my ass. This little b*stard was almost blown to ashes by the JDAM bomb. I don’t know what to tell you.

He shook his head and reached out to close the door. He saw Kang De standing on his tiptoes and sticking his head out.

Wang Yongzhi glared at him again and said, “What are you looking at?”

Kang De said, “You didn’t follow the uncles you’ve seen on television, right?”

Uncle Wang sneered, “You’re only afraid now?”

Kang De blinked. “I thought a square-faced major general would follow in and reveal his identity with a serious expression. So he’s the leader of the Dragon Group, Long Yi, who wants to recruit me into the organization.”

Xiaoman whispered at the side, “No one uses such an ancient setting now.”

Kang De was not shocked but happy, “Then this classic trademark should belong to me. If I become the Chinese captain, the team I propose to form will be called the China Dragon Group. Will the higher-ups be generous?”

Xiaoman smiled and said, “The higher-ups will most likely feel that it’s roaring, but isn’t it a little…”

“—Enough!”

Wang Yongzhi’s face darkened as he stopped these two brats from entering the list in front of him.

After closing the door, he looked at the living room a few times. The curtains were all tightly drawn. He nodded and turned to Kang De. His anger had still not dissipated—after hearing that news, he had not recovered for half an hour.

However, it was good that he was fine.

He asked, “You told your father?”

“He knew all along.” Kang De also asked, “Where’s my mother?”

Wang Yongzhi replied, “She stopped at the airport in Egypt earlier. After your matter spread, the higher-ups immediately contacted the local embassy and sent your mother to Djibouti to ensure her absolute safety. You can decide if you want to send her back to the country first or let your family of three reunite before returning.”

Kang De said, “I’ll call her later.”

Previously, he had contacted him in Comoros. Kang De did not dare to say much, afraid that his mother would hear from his tone that he was in an extremely unstable mental state at that time… Therefore, the missions in charge of explaining and dealing with were all handed to Engineer Kang. Wasn’t it natural for him to clean up his son’s mess? Moreover, he had to deal with his mother.

“Don’t worry, your mother is already mentally prepared. By the way, the organization takes your matter very seriously. They even specially transferred an experienced and firm psychologist from the country to tutor your mother and slowly reveal the situation to her. In the end, your mother covered everything up.”

When Kang De heard this, he could not help but laugh.

At the mention of his sister-in-law, Wang Yongzhi also revealed a smile. This heroine was publicly recognized as a strange person by the two families. He was also very impressed and speechless, “Alright, let’s settle the most important thing first. Then, you report to your mother and I’ll report to my motherland. From your tone just now, you don’t really want to serve the country. Why? Why did you throw your head back and laugh before leaving? Aren’t you from the same generation?”

Kang De said seriously, “How can that be? I was born under the red flag and bathed in the light of my motherland. There are young members and members of the Communist Youth League. Four of them are newbies. Which of us has fallen from the sun at seven or eight in the morning? In terms of advanced thoughts, outstanding morals, loyalty, and style, I’m top-notch. I’m outstanding in everything. As the successor of Communism, as…”

“Alright, stop it. You weren’t even born when I wrote the party essay.” Wang Yongzhi glanced at him, “Don’t lie. You have a red heart facing the sun, right? Follow me. We’ll immediately take the high-speed rail into the capital. With your help, I might be able to enter the sea and sit. I’ll let you be the leader of the Dragon Group tonight…”

Kang De immediately smiled and waved his hand, “Wait, wait. A young country bumpkin like me doesn’t know the etiquette rules. I’m afraid I offended the elders. Let’s discuss this again…”

Uncle Wang sneered again, “Where’s your heart? Where’s your style? Where’s your loyalty?”

“That’s two different things… Let’s put it this way, Uncle Wang. I’ve been especially busy recently. Really, it’s not an excuse, but I’m really busy. I have many things to do and can’t leave…”

Kang De said sincerely, “Look, it’s just like how I’m a strange person who grows healthily in the wilderness, not a flower in a greenhouse. If I enter the capital with you and am recruited, I’ll grow up in the care of the country. Although it’s beautiful, it’s not suitable for me. I can bloom even more intensely and gorgeously in the wilderness…”

“I can tell now.” What kind of person was Wang Yongzhi? He was in the business world and had seen countless people. He saw through the essence at a glance. He sneered, “You want to enjoy the benefits of being a superhuman but don’t want to be restrained by discipline and rules, right? Compared to serving the country, you’re more inclined to cooperate with it?”

When Kang De heard this, he smiled calmly and said, “You’re also a famous entrepreneur who retired and went into the sea to do business. You should know that although the country needs clumsy and complicated state-owned companies to bear non-profit social responsibility, it also needs private companies with high autonomy and flexibility to pursue profit and innovation… It’s blooming.”

At this point, although he still had a smile on his face, his expression had already changed.

If the previous conversation was a junior laughing and gossiping with his elders, now, he was expressing his will and thoughts to Wang Yongzhi and the indescribable power behind him as an independent individual.

Xiaoman was a little confused by this change. Uncle Wang could see it clearly.

The Kang De in front of him had serious eyes and a serious bearing. He was no longer inferior to any important figure he had seen. He was not bluffing and arrogant, but his accumulation and calm after experiencing a huge matter.

“I’ll convey your thoughts.”

He said.

Kang De’s smile became even brighter as he patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry. A private company is also a Chinese national company. I’ve always been loyal to my motherland and am willing to cooperate with and serve it. Once my motherland calls, I’ll definitely be duty-bound. I’m especially interested in missions like attacking imperialism and punishing capitalism. In addition, I’m very good at exorcising ghosts. Speaking of which, this can be a business of my company in the future. In addition, I’m also very interested in real estate…”

“Alright, alright. Let’s talk about this in the future. Let’s set the tone today and explain some principles… for example.”

Wang Yongzhi’s expression became serious, “We have to set a rule… The matter between Xie Ligan and his son can’t happen in the future.”

Previously, the strange car accident murder of Xie Ligan’s two sons had been dealt with clearly by Kang De at that time. The alibi was very perfect. No matter how impressive a lawyer was, he could not turn the tables. No matter how powerful a criminal investigation expert was, he was helpless… However, Kang De displayed his extraordinary strength and decisive and ruthless methods in Comoros. There were too many things to reminisce about the strange car accident murder back then.

Kang De said, “That’s because Xie Guangjun stood up straight and attacked first…”

Wang Yongzhi glanced at his daughter beside him. He had chatted with Xiaoman earlier and her daughter completely knew about that. Otherwise, he would not have said it in front of her.

“Xiaoman told me the exact situation. I’ve also reported it. Many signs and evidence can testify, and the higher-ups agree with your words, so this matter ends here. I’m talking about the future.”

“In the future, you have to trust the country. Our country has perfect laws and honest justice that guarantee the legal rights of all citizens. You’re a citizen of the People’s Republic of China. If you need anything, look for the people’s police. I definitely won’t allow you to carry out extrajudicial sanctions and lynchings—this is illegal, understand?”

Kang De nodded repeatedly and whispered, “Then don’t you think it’s a little…”

Uncle Wang glared at him. “Why? Do you feel that the country is protecting you? Is your conscience being condemned? Then go submit to the police and say that you used your superpower to kill. Do you think the Public Security Bureau should file a case or call the mental hospital?”

...

“Rascal, this is a matter of principle. Even if a superhuman committed a crime, the country has to punish him. He should be imprisoned and executed. The reason why we didn’t touch you is not that we protected you, but because you’re smart and didn’t leave any evidence, understand? If we can’t find evidence, we can’t convict you. This is the true spirit of justice. We’re a country ruled by law!”

He spoke sternly and righteously.

Kang De and Xiaoman looked at each other. The girl stuck out her tongue.

He clapped and said, “I don’t know what to say. Let’s shout 666.”

“Don’t think that I’m joking. I’m serious. In ancient times, it was said that heroes violated the law with martial arts. It’s referring to your situation. Relying on your ability to punish evil and promote good will cause a flood of lynchings. Perhaps you’ll even accidentally kill a good person. The disadvantages are far greater than the benefits, so I have to remind you today.”

“Don’t even think about being a vigilante against criminals. When Batman arrives in China, he’ll either be imprisoned and reformed, or he’ll receive awards and bonuses for ‘eliminating evil and becoming an advanced individual’. It’s not his turn to lynch. A criminal like the clown will be sentenced to lynch on his first time in prison and deprived of his political rights for the rest of his life. We’re different from hypocritical capitalist countries. In short…”

Uncle Wang muttered and tossed and turned. He looked really worried and good for Kang De.

Kang De smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Wang. The venue for my fun for a considerable period of time in the future is not here, but foreign countries that are in deep trouble and oppressed by imperialism and capitalism…”

Wang Yongzhi narrowed his eyes. “It seems that you plan to bloom outside the wall.”

“You’re really smart to use the word outside the wall.”

“Cut the crap… Comoros?”

...

“Yes.”

Kang De said, “After all, it’s more comfortable to do things overseas. There’s no need to worry too much.”

“How do you plan to bloom these flowers?”

“I still have to discuss it with the king to make some small things,” Kang De said. “Let me torture myself for a while first. If I can’t do it, I’ll come and join the country. If I succeed, I can even get rich with you, Uncle Wang.”

Wang Yongzhi glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, “Is this a bribe?”

Kang De glared at him and said, “Why are you slandering others for no reason? Can a win-win situation in business be called bribery?”

At this moment, they had already sat down on the sofa. Xiaoman made tea with a tea set and brought it over.

She was wearing casual clothes and pink rabbit cotton slippers. When she bent down, her shoulder-length hair fell from her shoulders like a waterfall. When she poured the tea, her movements were gentle and her expression was focused. Her side profile without makeup was beautiful and quiet. After pouring, she naturally sat beside Kang De and looked at her father with him.

In this situation, the white tea in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

—This tea was even given by me. Tsk.

Wang Yongzhi’s mood was infinitely complicated.

“In short, using tea as wine, I’ll ask Uncle Wang to salvage the situation.” Kang De raised his teacup and smiled, “There will be many, many opportunities for us to interact in the future.”

Wang Yongzhi was silent for a moment. He raised his teacup and gestured. He shook his head and said, “I’ve thought about letting you join my company to help after you graduate in the past two years. I wonder if you’re willing…”

When Xiaoman heard this, she blushed slightly.

“I was conflicted for nothing. I didn’t expect you to actually sit and talk business with me.”

Uncle Wang laughed at himself, “Moreover, you gave me a chance.”

Kang Jinzhu must have tasted this gratified and sour feeling.

As if he was really using tea as wine to dispel his feelings, Wang Yongzhi suddenly raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp. It was extremely fast and Wang Xiaoman did not have the time to stop him.

“…”

Uncle Wang’s face flushed at a visible speed.

…It was so hot.

Moreover, he could not shout in front of the juniors, stick out his tongue, or embarrass himself.

He was so angry.

Especially when he saw Kang De drink the tea in his cup without changing his expression and smack his lips without any pain, he was even angrier. So what if he was a superhuman?

He immediately stood up and picked up his phone, “I roughly understand what you mean. I’ll call and report first. The exact situation still needs to be discussed and decided by the higher-ups. Moreover, there are a few things I have to ask for your opinion on, such as the popularity on Weibo… It was originally meant to stir up public opinion and teach the French Americans a lesson. Since you’re fine, you have to change the topic. You can also force the two countries to lower their heads and bleed.”

The United States and France launched a joint air raid. Firstly, they carried out a large-scale attack on the civilian airport of a sovereign country. This could not be denied in front of everyone. Secondly, they attacked the Chinese heroes of Comoros. They could be considered to have gone for wool and come home shorn. They still had to face the blow of China occupying the moral high ground—it was rare. Only these foreigners had always waved moral sticks to defame China. The tables had really turned.

The attack on the Chinese officials was one of them. Secondly, before they killed Kang De, they had to face the hidden threat of a superhuman. This might be even more uncomfortable than the former.

If he wanted to make peace, he had to be prepared to be slaughtered.

When Kang De heard this, his eyes lit up. He raised his hand and said, “I’m the victim. I should have a share of the compensation.”

“Go away.” Wang Yongzhi glared at him and stood up. “When has the country taken advantage of anyone?”

His tongue was still hurting and he spoke vaguely. He went straight to Kang De’s parents’ bedroom, closed the door, and began to make calls. He did not see his daughter and Kang De sniggering behind him at all.

“In other words… you have to stay in Africa for a while in the future?”

After Xiaoman smiled, her voice was a little lonely.

Kang De could still answer such a question. He said, “I have the city return skill. I’ll return in the blink of an eye from Africa. Don’t worry.”

Xiaoman turned her head to the side. “What am I worried about?”

After a moment, he finally turned back, “You… what are your plans? Why are you suddenly developing in Africa? Is there…”

Kang De nodded and said, “Yes, I have an idea. Some things can be easily obtained from Earth…”

—Has the plot developed to the middle and late stages? Should he start managing the world and setting up?!

—I knew it. There’s a problem with the pricing of items in the Main God Space.

Such a heavenly secret could not be leaked. Wang Xiaoman revealed a knowing expression and raised her finger, “I understand. There’s no need to continue. It’s not good to say anything else.”

Kang De nodded and was a little touched. He said, “Right, I brought you a gift…”

Xiaoman’s heart stirred and she revealed a happy smile. She shook her head and said, “Let’s call Auntie first. She’s been worried for a long time. She must want to hear your voice.”

She reached out to push Kang De. “Call first. Call first.”

Kang De was about to get up when he glanced at Xiaoman’s face and said, “Fight together?”

“Huh?”

Kang De dialed the number, then turned on the speakerphone and placed it on the coffee table.

Xiaoman was first stunned, then her eyes narrowed like crescent moons and a sweet smile bloomed. She looked at the phone on the coffee table as if she could not see the words on it. She leaned forward and touched Kang De’s shoulder. Slowly, her head leaned gently on his shoulder.

After a few rings, the call was picked up.

His mother’s familiar voice sounded from the speaker.

“Dragon Group! The name has to be Dragon Group!”
