Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

234 Come and See the House
“It’s a lawful society, Big Brother. Don’t take revenge so easily and dominate the city.” Old Wang lowered her voice when she said this.

However, there was a smile.

Kang De smiled too.

Ah, at least Old Wang knew.

She knew his experience, his story, and what he was experiencing.

In the end, he did not have to hide it from everyone. There was finally someone he could confide in and share it with.

Therefore, Kang De smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

As he chatted with Xiaoman, he slowly recalled what had happened before he slept. That so-called Young Master Xie should be Xie Guangjun. If he was willing to use 4 million yuan to buy that haunted house, he must be guilty.

Coupled with the fact that before the female ghost died… Hmm, this was a little strange. Coupled with the name written by the female ghost before she reincarnated, he could almost come to a conclusion.

This Xie Guangjun was basically a criminal.

If that female ghost had been killed by this fellow when she was alive, he could not be treated as a normal person. It was not surprising that he would do something to Kang De.

Especially when his unknown secret was discovered…

Kang De thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Remember to always be with Uncle and Auntie. Don’t act alone. Call me when you return home.”

Xiaoman was silent for a moment before saying warily, “Is there a problem with Xie Guangjun?”

Kang De pondered for a moment and chose to tell the truth. His experience from the Holy Seal Islands to Valentine continuously shaped his personality, causing him to habitually prepare for the worst when considering things.

After all, Xie Guangjun had asked about him through Xiaoman. Moreover, the previous call had indicated that the other party also knew that Xiaoman had paid for that house… It was better to be safe than sorry.

Therefore, he said, “There’s a huge problem. In the house we bought earlier, there was a female ghost, and it was an extremely hostile ghost like a vengeful spirit. Before I killed her, she wrote Xie Guangjun’s name.”

Xiaoman whispered, “In that case, Xie Guangjun killed her?”

Kang De said, “The possibility is very high.”

The conversation between the two of them sounded even stranger. The female ghost had been killed and was extremely hostile. To outsiders, she was completely crazy, but Xiaoman was actually talking to Kang De seriously.

This was because these were all true.

It was a secret that belonged to two people.

Kang De and Xiaoman realized this at the same time and laughed at the same time.

“To be honest,” Xiaoman said with a smile, “Is it fine to tell me such a huge secret?”

Kang De shrugged. “It’s fine. You’ve known my secrets since I was young.”

The girl giggled and said, “It’s different this time. If I hand it over to the country, I’ll be rich.”

Even if he was talking on his phone, Kang De could not help but smile proudly, “Woman, your hair is long but you are short-sight. You speak as if you won’t prosper if you don’t hand it to the country.”

The girl also smiled. Kang De could completely imagine her pinching her orchid fingers and winking. “Oh, then I’ll thank Master Kang in advance for carrying me.”

The two of them laughed for a while before turning back to serious matters.

“Then let’s get down to business. Even if Xie Guangjun doesn’t look for me, I have to find him. Since I’ve encountered injustice, I can’t ignore it. Now that this grandson hasn’t gone to jail, it means that he’s most likely escaped the law. As a good citizen who obeys the law, I have an obligation to assist the relevant departments to actively report and not let the bad people escape unpunished.”

Kang De said righteously, “But the problem now is that I need evidence. Otherwise, even if I run to the police station to report the case, the police will think that I’m crazy.”

“I can’t possibly say something like ‘I bought a haunted house and used the Holy Light Greatsword to purify the malicious ghosts inside and received her cry of injustice before she turned to ashes’, right?”

Xiaoman suddenly asked, “What Holy Light Greatsword? Ashbringer?”

It would be a lie to say that she was not curious about Kang De’s “journey”. However, the girl was still worried about the annihilation of the Main God and did not dare to ask in detail. She could only listen to Kang De passively because she did not know where he was.

However, she was indeed very curious about Kang De’s journey.

Kang De replied, “No… that thing is still very difficult to deal with. I’ll get it for you to play with another day.”

Speaking of which, Xiaoman was still a veteran Warcraft player. However, because of many indescribable things recently, she had been AFK. As for the reason… Don’t ask. If you asked, the answer would be the sudden death of Blizzard.

As for creating the Ashbringer sword, it was actually not difficult. He only needed to order thousands of high-quality Ashbringer cosplay swords and pour white fog into them one by one until it was out. Of course, the probability was extremely low.

Old Wang was shocked. “There’s no need, there’s no need.”

—You actually want to specially go to the Azeroth Instance Dungeon to snatch this sword for me?

She hurriedly changed the topic. “So what do you plan to do with this?”

Kang De thought for a moment. “Is he very rich? He offered 4 million yuan to buy that house.”

Xiaoman replied, “Yes, I heard that he’s very rich. I’m not familiar with him. You know that my family only rose a few years ago. It can’t compare to such a rich second-generation heir. Moreover, I can’t be bothered to play with their so-called circle… However, he’s really rich and very high-profile. It’s mainly because his family dotes on him very much and gives him whatever he wants. Hehe, I didn’t expect it to be such a thing.”

Kang De nodded repeatedly. “Very good, very good.”

Wang Xiaoman was Kang De’s childhood friend and had grown up with him. Basically, when she heard Kang De’s commotion, she knew what this fellow was going to fart. She immediately said warily, “What do you want? Rob the rich to help the poor?”

“Of course not. What are you thinking? Am I that selfless and noble?”

Kang De then said as if nothing had happened, “I’m not robbing the rich to help the poor, but robbing the rich to help me.”

“…Hey.”

Xiaoman said, “It’s a lawful society. Don’t do anything rash. I’m serious. At least in China, there are cameras all over the street and satellites above your head. There’s a network that can leave traces everywhere. If you want to learn from the superheroes in comic novels and be vigilantes, it’s almost impossible. They’ll find out who you are in minutes.”

When Kang De heard the girl’s rapid words, he casually comforted her, “Alright, alright, don’t worry. I’m only joking. Don’t worry, I’m more afraid of trouble than you think.”

“…Yes, in any case, it’s good that you know what you’re doing.” The girl’s tone suddenly became a little low and melancholic. She said softly, “You’ve experienced many things. You don’t need me to remind you, right?”

In the end, she could not know Kang De’s story.

Even if the other party was willing to tell him, he must have omitted a lot of blood, pain, and sorrow.

Thinking of this, the girl said softly, “It must have been very difficult this time.”

Kang De was silent for a moment.

He thought of the endless flames of war, the continuous deaths of people, Valentine’s dense tombstones, Hong San’s kowtow, Preston’s last words before he died, and Nick’s last smile.

“…Ah, that’s right,” he said softly. “I’ve made many good friends.”

After a long time, the call ended.

Kang De lay on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Valentine’s blood and heaviness finally gradually dissipated.

After all, Xiaoman was a special person. Even if she only listened a little, it could make him feel relieved.

Then, the next step was to walk forward and look ahead.

He took out his phone, opened the search engine, and entered the words “Xie Ligan”.

This was the father of Xie Guangjun whom Xiaoman had mentioned.

That Xie Guangjun was nothing to worry about. Such a slightly famous rich second-generation heir did not even have to think about it. The threat, danger, even social relations, financial strength, and even the confidence to kill definitely came from his father’s wealth and energy. In other words, this Xie Ligan was his potential enemy.

D*mn.

There was actually a Baidu page about him.

Strong, strong.

Kang De frowned and opened it a few times. After thinking for a moment, he opened the editing history of the Baidu page and looked at the author’s record and ID.

Then, he laughed.

“D*mn, he probably paid someone to make it up.”

He opened the compilation record of that ID and smiled even more happily. “What a waste of money.”

It was not surprising. After all, the era had developed too quickly. The magical Internet was really far away from the previous generation. It was filled with arrogance. It was not strange to be extorted.

He opened his browser again and searched for this person. He looked at the companies, shares, partners, and so on under his name. He did not understand them, but he did not feel that they were especially powerful.

“Uh-huh… The father is at fault for failing to teach the son. I’ll teach him in your place.”

Kang De stared at the photo on Baidu. The old man’s smile was gentle, calm, and powerful. He seemed to be sitting at the table and talking and laughing, looking like a big shot.

Who would have thought that he had such a son?

He stretched out his hand and gestured with his gun at the other party’s head.

“I hope you won’t be ignorant.”

Kang De closed the browser, then opened the call record.

The last time he bought a house, he had seen the name written before the female ghost disappeared. It was most likely related to the grievance. Although he did not know this female ghost, if she encountered injustice and died innocently, it would naturally arouse his righteous anger. Since he had the ability and strength and had encountered it, why not help her avenge her grievance?

If he was even willing to help the people of the other world, why not help his compatriots?

At that time, he made up his mind to resolve this matter when he was free.

Moreover, Xie Guangjun had sent himself to his door.

If the other party was really a crazy murderer and had targeted him, in theory, this criminal was a threat to Kang De’s family and friends.

In that case, he naturally had to strike first and punish this fellow righteously.

However, before that…

Kang De clicked on the call record from yesterday and dialed.

If it was Kang De who had returned to Earth the last time to resolve Xie Guangjun’s matter, he would definitely have to investigate many times, ask indirectly, and take every step carefully before confirming a plan.

However, it was different now.

Blood and fire could train people.

After experiencing the battle of Valentine, life and death, human hearts, sacrifices, bloody battles, cruel and cunning elves, weak and numb people, and brave and fearless sacrifices, all of this made him grow.

In fact, in the final battle, although he had pity in his heart, he still did not hesitate to send down the nuke. It instantly destroyed the five large legions and deterred the Twilight Group. His name resounded throughout the world. He had appeared on the world stage alone as a strategic and even political force that could not be ignored and was about to chat and laugh with the kings and leaders of the various countries and races. Now, he was still careful against a useless rich second-generation heir on Earth.

Even the Elven Empress was worried that he would throw a pile of kinetic weapons at her house.

A few seconds later, the call was picked up.

The voice that sounded a little annoying yesterday said with mockery, “Hey? You said such powerful words yesterday. Isn’t it a little late to call now? Didn’t you tell us to wait for death?”

After yesterday, he recalled that Kang De seemed to have been woken up by the call. He felt that this was why he got so mad at first. He even cursed at Young Master Xie. In that case, the logic seemed to make sense. After all, no matter how foul-mouthed he was, how could he curse when he heard that he could casually earn two million yuan with a nod?

However, he naturally would not tell Young Master Xie about this guess.

—D*mn, I’m not your father. What right do I have to spoil your temper when you wake up? Your mouth is dirty, so I’ll wait for Young Master Xie to deal with you. Tsk, we’re both lackeys of the rich second-generation heir. Why should I serve Xie Guangjun without much benefit, but your fair and beautiful childhood friend actually bought you a house?

F*ck, why?

With such dark jealousy, the lackey in a suit was naturally happy to watch the show.

As for Kang De’s call today, in the eyes of the man in the suit, it was completely a gift.

The reason was either that he woke up today and realized what he had missed.

Or perhaps he had mentioned this when he licked the rich woman’s feet last night and was beaten up by Wang Xiaoman. Then, he realized that he had unintentionally offended such an impressive figure and came to apologize and make up for it.

Or perhaps Young Master Xie had secretly done something…

—However, it’s useless! Because you’ve already offended Young Master Xie! You’re finished!

When the man in the suit saw Kang De’s call, his heart skipped a beat. It was even more comfortable than shooting a video. He imagined many pretentious scenes as if he was Xie Guangjun. With the dark mentality that his lackeys had developed from running errands for a long time, he had already decided to humiliate Kang De.

However, in the next moment, the proud smile on his face froze.

This was because Kang De’s voice was not flattering, panicked, or calm.

“Shut up, fool. Let me ask you, are you Xie Guangjun’s lackey?”

The lackey was stunned.

“I’m… Pfft, I’m not… No, I’m…”

The man in the suit did not expect this development. He stammered for a while before reacting and saying angrily, “What the f*ck are you talking about?! I’m Young Master Xie’s subordinate! But I’m not a lackey!”

“People won’t talk to me like this. Only lackeys who rely on others don’t know how to speak properly. As long as you said something like ‘Hello, is it Mr. Kang De? I’m XXXX’ yesterday, I won’t lower myself to your level. The children of the kindergarten are all more polite than you. You stupid fool, shut up and don’t scream. Now, I want to speak to your master. Send me the message.”

Kang De crossed his legs and said indifferently, “Doesn’t he want to buy a house? Let him look at it.”
