Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

It was a WeChat message from Xiaoman.

In the past two to three days, the two of them had always maintained contact, but it was only limited to using WeChat to report their safety. After all, Kang De would not tell Xiaoman every few days that he had killed many people wherever he went.

After saving his father, he rushed out with sparks and lightning. He was excited and happy. Along the way, he only cared about talking and complaining to his father and forgot about Xiaoman.

He opened WeChat and was about to reply to Xiaoman when he saw another message more than 20 minutes ago.

The first was, "Hey, Uncle Kang was saved? You're not injured, right?"

The second was, "Brother, your matter has been exposed!"

Kang De was stunned. How did she know?

He was about to answer when he heard his father say, "Is it Xiaoman?"

—How did you know?

Before Kang De could ask, doubts were written on his face.

After Kang Jinzhu glanced at it, he snorted, "There's only one girl on Earth who can make a young boy like you show that expression, right? Otherwise, what other female friends do you have?"

Kang De glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said coldly, "You should think about how to tell my mother that you're safe and explain."

Father Kang's expression changed, then he glared and said, "What does it have to do with me? You were clearly the one who saved me. You have to explain yourself!"

As Kang De typed, he whistled, "Alright, then I'll tell the truth. My son, who was originally living a calm life, killed his way from China to Comoros to save his stupid father in Africa. He tore apart the white pig with his bare hands and shattered the black uncle. He was physically and mentally exhausted and his hands were covered in blood. See who she blames."

Kang Jingzhu shouted, "Hey, that's your mother!"

Kang De glanced at him and snorted, "Only your wife can make a white-haired old man like you show that expression, right?"

He sent the message he had written.

"It's done. I'm sending him to a safe place. The other Chinese people have also been saved. My father is fine, but it's a little difficult to accept the fact that he can't hit his son anymore. He was punched by a French guy. Of course, Engineer Kang didn't suffer a loss. He even sent a rocket launcher over—speak of which, how did you know?"

Xiaoman's message came quickly. "Is it convenient to call now?"

Kang De thought for a moment. Xiaoman had probably been afraid for the past two days, so he took out his satellite phone and dialed the phone number in the country. He picked up instantly.

"Hello?" Kang De turned on the loudspeaker and smiled. "Do you want to hear Engineer Kang's voice?"

"—You've been secretly photographed!"

"Huh?"

"My father saw everything!"

"Huh?"

"He even sent me a message to ask what was going on!"

"Huh?"

"I pretended not to see it and didn't answer my phone. He drove straight over! He's knocking on my door!"

"Huh?"

There was a faint loud knock on the door and Uncle Wang's faint roar. Then, Xiaoman's voice sounded, "Stop knocking! I'm sleeping! I'm naked!"

Uncle Wang's voice floated in, "Then put it on quickly! Come and open the door! Where's Kang De?! Don't try to fool me. I just knocked on the door next door. He's not at home!"

Xiaoman shouted, "Kang De is under my blanket! Stop knocking! Everyone's faces will be ugly if you bump into him!"

Kang Jingzhu choked.

Uncle Wang roared outside the door, "You're talking nonsense. He's clearly in Africa! The person I hired saw him blow up the palace with his own eyes! He even raced and shot on the streets of Moroni!"

"…So, that's it."

Wang Xiaoman sighed weakly, "I can't hide it anymore. I can't say that you have a half-brother who has always been raised in Africa by Uncle Kang, right?"

"About that, Xiaoman."

"Yes?"

"I'm on speaker."

After a long silence, Xiaoman said as if nothing had happened, "Hello, Uncle Kang. Are you alright?"

"…It's fine, I'm fine." Kang Jinzhu's tone was subtle, "It sounds like you knew about Kang De's situation long ago?"

"It's not very early…"

Xiaoman said carefully, "I also discovered and guessed by chance… Uncle, don't be angry. He can't think of a way to tell you such a huge matter for a moment. After all, the two of you were in Africa at that time."

"Let's talk about something more important first."

Kang De interrupted Xiaoman's communication with his father. After all, he had indeed not thought of how to tell his father about his experience these past few days. He had to consider the present first.

He said, "Xiaoman, give Uncle Wang your phone. I'll tell him."

Xiaoman asked, "Tell the truth? You won't hide it anymore?"

"How can I hide such a thing? I have to figure out what's going on," Kang De said. "Moreover, my father already knows, so there's no reason to hide it from him."

"Uh-huh?"

Xiaoman's voice became lighter. "Alright, I'll change first."

She then shouted outside, "Wait! I'll open the door after putting on my clothes! Stop roaring!"

The sound of clothes rubbing sounded from the phone, followed by the sound of the door opening. Xiaoman said on the other end of the phone, "It's Kang De. Tell him yourself."

A moment later, Wang Yongzhi's low voice sounded, "Hey!"

Kang De smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, it's very late in China, right? Are you still awake?"

Uncle Wang gritted his teeth. "Little brat, really good. How did you run to Africa?"

Kang De shrugged. "Of course, I flew over."

—F-flew over?

Kang Jinzhu, who was listening, widened his eyes.

Wang Yongzhi did not think too much about it. He had yet to recover from this shocking news. D*mn, this little brat actually ran to Africa silently and actually caused such a huge commotion…

He said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Kang De rolled his eyes. "Wow, even if you say it, can you let it go to Africa? As elders, you care too much about your children. I can think of what you'll say with my toes—no matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than missiles, bombers, and nuclear weapons?"

Kang Jinzhu gave his son the middle finger, then took his phone over. "Big boss?"

"Jingzhu, are you alright?"

Wang Yongzhi's voice turned gentle, but he was still a little unhappy, "Your son has grown capable."

"That's true." Of course, Kang Jinzhu looked different in front of his childhood friend. "I taught him well."

"Bullsh*t." Wang Yongzhi cursed. Of course, after his old friend was saved, what he was most concerned about was how to return to the country next.

He asked, "How will you and the child return? The people I found have already retreated to the vicinity of Moroni. Do you want to meet up with them to let them think of a way to escort you?"

Kang Jingzhu looked at his son.

He was not the kind of man who had a very strong sense of patriarchy. When it did not involve certain aspects, Father Kang looked at the problem very calmly. He knew that he still had to let his son make decisions on such matters.

Because, if he made the decision himself, his son might not listen.

Kang De asked, "Uncle Wang, you hired mercenaries? They were in Moroni just now?"

"Hmm? That's right."

—I was wondering why I heard gunshots elsewhere. I'm afraid they caught up.

D*mn, thinking of it, it was also these people who attacked the enemy earlier and made these French people start martial law.

Kang De asked, "How's your relationship with them?"

"…We've worked together a few times and our reputation is not bad. You don't have to worry about what they'll think."

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant."

Kang De said seriously, "I plan to send my father to our country's overseas safeguard base in Djibouti. If you have a good relationship with those mercenaries, I'll come back after sending my father away and escort them away to prevent them from being captured and beaten to death by those French mercenaries. If they're those passers-by who get paid to do things, I won't care. Pay them the bill and let them do whatever they want."

Wang Yongzhi was stunned for a moment before cursing, "Then I'll transfer the money to them."

Kang De raised his eyebrows. "Are we really going to let them fend for themselves?"

Uncle Wang said indifferently, "They didn't save your father. It could be said that the mission failed. The full payment was because they also took the blame for you and attracted a certain amount of firepower. I've done my best. You're my nephew, so why should I let you take the risk for them? They were captured and killed by the enemy because they were incompetent. I'm their employer, not their nanny."

Uncle Wang knew the situation very well.

Kang De was silent for a moment before saying, "Leave me their contact information and let them find a place to wait in peace for a few days. I'll come back and find them. Although you're paid to do it, no matter what, they're here to save my father. As his son, I have to thank them."

When Kang Jinzhu heard this, he glanced at his son. He was first slightly stunned, then as if he was relieved, a smile appeared on his lips.

Wang Yongzhi was silent for a moment before smiling, "Not bad, you haven't changed. You're still Kang Jinzhu's son."

He continued, "That's fine. They found the two Western reporters who filmed you racing on the street. They've already temporarily detained and placed the two under house arrest. I don't care what to do with you. Do as you see fit."

Kang De asked curiously, "Video?"

"Wait, I'll send it to you."

Kang De's own phone vibrated again. Uncle Wang directly sent a photo and video.

On the other end of the phone, the lights in the living room were shining. Wang Xiaoman leaned beside her father and listened to the commotion on the phone. After a minute of silence, Kang De's voice sounded, "D*mn! Dad! Look! Look! I'm so f*cking handsome! I didn't realize that I could be so handsome before!"

Then, Father Kang's loud disdain sounded, "Pfft!"

Xiaoman whispered, "He's indeed very handsome. I've seen it more than ten times. How exciting. Is there anything else?"

Wang Yongzhi lowered his voice, "Handsome my ass. You young people only know how exciting it is. Do you know how dangerous it is? In the future, don't let Kang De drive when you go out!"

Xiaoman curled her lips.

It was not dangerous at all. Kang De did not drive the car anyway.
