Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 151 - After All, I’m Not a Chauvinist

Chapter 151: After All, I’m Not a Chauvinist

“No, what will you do if I leave on my own?”

Leona did not expect Kang De to say such a thing.

These sounded very gentle words filled with concern and concern, but when they came from Kang De’s mouth, they sounded strange. Leona immediately revealed a vigilant expression, “…What conspiracy do you have?”

“…What conspiracy?”

The girl looked like she had seen through everything, “Hmph, the first time we met, you rejected the beautiful girl. The second time, you chopped an axe beside my head. The third time, you almost angered me to death… Now, you’re doing this again. Are you trying to trick me?”

Kang De said indifferently, “The first time we met, I know that you’re from the Vidal family. Due to the unhappy things that happened a few days ago, I’m definitely very wary of you. The reason why I used force to scare you is also because of this reason. As for angering you to death… I think every word I say is logical.”

He said, “As for now, I’m not fooling you. In fact, after this exchange, your credibility has already risen to about 80%. We can basically conclude that you’re Tina’s good friend and that what you said is true. In that case, I naturally can’t leave you in the city to wait for death…”

The focus of women and men was different, at least for Leona. The girl noticed the term that displeased her and said unhappily, “Only 80%?”

Kang De said indifferently, “80% is my highest trust in you.”

Leona mocked, “Then I should feel honored?”

Kang De nodded and said, “Yes, you should be very proud, because I gave you the highest trust I can give you. If I find out later that you lied to me, you and your family will die very, very miserably. Moreover, the highest trust I have in the people of your continent will be further lowered. From this, my code of conduct can be further escalated and cause more terrifying things to happen—do you understand? If you betray me, the world will change because of this. Do you feel very proud?”

Leona could not even mock him now, because she looked at Kang De’s expression and realized that he was not joking, but talking seriously about something very solemn.

Her eye twitched.

As expected… this guy was crazy.

She had to admit that the current him was really a perfect match for Tina…

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably sad.

This was because she had personally seen Tina’s huge transformation.

Although Leona looked down on Tina’s innocent and childish appearance in the past, after seeing Princess Goethe, who had undergone a drastic change and become cold and suspicious, she discovered that she liked the innocent princess from before more… Growing up and being sensible was not always pleasing and gratifying.

Her heart ached for the betrayal and loss Tina had suffered.

Now, she was sitting in front of Tina’s husband.

The other party was as suspicious, as cold, as rational, and as crazy as Tina.

This meant that he had once been a very beautiful, interesting, and kind person like Tina… Then, he had become like this. What a f*cking world.

Thinking of this, he did not say anything dissatisfied.

Even the disgust in his heart slowly began to disappear.

Leona shook her head and said softly, “The only person you can trust with all your heart now is Tina, right?”

Kang De was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “I don’t know.”

If he had to answer, in the other world and on this continent, there was only one person he could trust wholeheartedly.

However, he was already dead.

This was the helplessness of the world and the joke of fate… At the moment the knight turned into starlight and disappeared, Kang De realized that the other party was someone he could trust wholeheartedly.

However, that was meaningless.

Even if he brought the knight’s sword back to the white fog world and whispered to him about his past, Earth, the white fog, all the secrets of that unprecedented other world… it was meaningless.

This was because the knight could no longer hear this.

Leona said softly, “Are you thinking about her? This is also the reason why I want you to see Tina as soon as possible… Now, I’m afraid the person she trusts the most is you, even more than her own family.”

Kang De returned to his senses and revealed a gentle smile.

Looking at this smile, Leona was stunned.

It was not that this smile was very handsome, nor was it that the silver-haired girl was infatuated again. It was mainly a contrast outside of the inherent impression… For example, if an eminent monk with profound cultivation, wisdom, and calm in everyone’s eyes suddenly sang a rap, it would definitely scare the surrounding people.

In Leona’s heart, Kang De was almost on par with the words “fierce and evil”. After all, they had interacted for a short period of time. Kang De had laughed sinisterly, sneered, laughed cheaply, and mocked. Every smile was filled with malice or attack. At this moment, he actually revealed an unbelievably pure smile.

The girl was in a daze—could he actually smile like this?

Then, she heard Kang De say, “I don’t know if Tina trusts me the most, but I’ll tell her that a good friend of hers is still working hard for her after being misunderstood and guarded against. Such a precious friendship surpasses gold. You’ll obtain her sincere guilt, gratitude, and trust.”

These words were very beautiful.

Although the words were not gorgeous, they were touching, especially when they came from Kang De’s mouth. It shocked Leona, and all the grievances and worry from before almost gushed out.

The girl turned her head to the side to hide her emotions. “…I don’t care.”

Although she said this, she was still a little happy and gratified.

Her busy days had not been in vain, because Kang De had acknowledged her efforts.

…Wait!

—Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Why should I think so? Why should I care about this lousy approval? I did these things because I was loyal and moral, not for others to praise and thank!

Although she thought so in her heart, the change in the corners of her mouth and expression that she could not help but smile betrayed her emotions. She was indeed very happy.

It even reduced her negative impression of Kang De.

Hmph, this guy was not that bad. Didn’t he say those words quite well just now? Didn’t he know how to take care of a girl’s feelings?

Could it be that he only looked fierce to outsiders he did not trust, but he was very good to his own people? In that case, this was not a flaw, but a merit…

—Ahhh, I also want a man who is only good to me but very fierce to outsiders…

Kang De looked at the girl whose expression was becoming more and more cheerful and even happy and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

He originally wanted to tell her that the so-called guilt and gratitude were only built on the basis that she was indeed sincere. If she had ill intentions or even plotted, she had to be prepared to die miserably.

Forget it, forget it.

After all, he was not a chauvinist.

It did not matter if he did not say such ruthless words. In any case, he would do it.

He ran through Leona’s many words and actions in his mind again, looking for any possible loopholes and flaws. However, soon, the girl broke free from her girlish thoughts.

“Since we’ve already spoken and obtained the initial trust and consensus, Kang De, the Cathayan, let me ask you, what’s your next step?”

She said seriously, “I have to remind you that time is urgent, be it on Tina’s side or here. The elf army hasn’t arrived yet. It’s very dangerous to leave the city now.”

Kang De shook his head and said, “As I said, the matter of the scam involves too much. Nick is not trustworthy. If I leave alone, regardless of the success rate, this means that you will be left behind…”

Leona said, “I’m the heir of the Vidal family. Although Nick looks very powerful, he doesn’t dare to be too reckless. When you rush to Tina’s side, you can ask her to write a letter and send it back to explain the situation… Don’t worry, even if the city is broken, the elves won’t make things difficult for me on account of the Vidal family.”

The city was broken.

These three words were the most terrifying.

Kang De shook his head and said, “You can rest easy, but what about the others? What about the people of this city? What about the people of the Heaven and Earth Association? What about Hong San?”

Leona thought for a moment. “It’s not a problem to hide a few people in the Chamber of Commerce. Hong San can hide here. The elves won’t pester him. He’s not a big shot.”

Kang De said faintly, “Hong San… might not want to escape.”

Leona was at first stunned, but then she saw Kang De’s expression and guessed what he was thinking. Her expression could not help but change, “You want to help Nick defend the city? Could it be because there are many of your fellow Cathayans in the Heaven and Earth Association? You have to understand, understand what Tina is doing, and understand what’s the most important…”

Kang De was silent for a long time.

He had actually not made up his mind.

He could not ignore this city because of his beliefs and pity. Not to mention the entrustment of the knight, not to mention Tina’s relationship, one side was the elves who had launched the invasion, and the other was Goethe, who had resisted passively and suffered heavy losses. It was simply obvious which side Morality was on.

However, the truth was that Kang De still did not feel the same way about this war. Moreover, he did not know what to do in a large-scale battle.

Therefore…

“Let me think about it. Let me think about it.” Kang De said.

He was currently separated from the Autobot. His iron son was a powerful force he could rely on. Be it defending the city or escaping, the first thing he had to do was to meet up with the Autobot.

He had already thought of a method. He would use the handmade radio to send a message and hope that the Autobot’s radio station could receive it… If not, he could only return to Earth to think of a way.

In addition, there was another point.

The crimson scroll.

When he discovered it on the Holy Seal Islands, no matter how he played with it, there was no abnormality in the scroll.

However, after returning from Earth and touching the scroll, it triggered golden flames.

This was a strange change.

Kang De had a faint feeling that this change might mean… strength.

He had to think of a way to resolve the mystery of this crimson scroll.
