432 Name
In the company.
Since he wanted to do some work in Comoros and make requests for firearms, funds, and so on, if he wanted to develop, the best carrier was naturally a company.
He could not directly become a warlord or something.
It was too ugly.
Moreover, in the arms trade, you had to have a clever name. Sending weapons to the African warlords was called colluding with the dictator. That was called supporting an authoritarian faction, but selling firearms from one company to another looked better. That was called free trade. After washing it, it could also be called humanitarian assistance.
In short, establishing a company could be a medium for Kang De to interact with the various countries outside. Internally, it could be a cover for him to use the other world and the white fog world to generate income. There were many benefits.
“What should the name be?”
At night, after eating Chinese food at the embassy, Kang De picked his teeth and was very satisfied.
This master was capable. He had made sweet and sour pork very well. At this moment, he was sitting on the roof of the embassy with his father beside him. The father and son looked at the sky of Comoros and ate without moving. Africa was one good thing. It developed slowly, the air was good, and they could see the stars at night.
Beside him, Kang Jinzhu replied, “Dragon Group—your mother must have said that.”
Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “How strange is the Dragon Group? It doesn’t sound good.”
His father glanced at him as he swiped his phone. “Then what did you say it was called?”
His son pondered for a moment and did not answer. Kang Jinzhu teased, “Resign yourself to your fate. You and your mother are both useless at naming. Call me a good father a few times and I’ll think of something pleasant for you.”
Kang De glanced at him sideways.
It was not that he could not think of it.
Instead, there were too many choices.
His experience in the past year or two had been stormy and shocking. Many things he had experienced and remembered could be used as a memento.
The origin of everything, the Holy Seal Islands, Akatum who had given him the divine power of time and space, Goethe, Nick Valentine, even Tina, and Cleveland… there were many.
On the other hand, his father was still saying, “If not for the fact that we’ll be sued for infringement, we might as well be called King Kang.”
Kang De rolled his eyes at him again.
As expected of a husband and wife. His father’s next words were even more explosive, “If it’s this name, Wang Yongzhi will probably know it in his heart. Marry Xiaoman and take the opportunity to seize Wang Yongzhi’s assets. The two families will be one. King Kang is worthy of his name. You also have the foundation of your company and can let him, Wang Yongzhi, work for you. If he’s disobedient, the country will criticize him. Wouldn’t it be beautiful for Father-in-law to be an employee?”
—I seem to have heard something similar from Teacher Li. They all advised Kang De to quickly take down Xiaoman. It would be best if they got married and took over the Fengqiao Group to snatch Wang Yongzhi’s life’s work.
It was unknown if this couple had telepathy or had secretly discussed it under the blanket.
Kang De sighed, “Uncle Wang was careless in making friends. We’ve been friends for decades and brothers for decades, but he’s actually a heartless person. If it was me, I would have cut ties with you long ago.”
Hearing his words, Kang Jinzhu actually sat up and looked at him with wide eyes.
Kang De thought that his father was going to make some shameless comments again. He did not expect Kang Jinzhu to say in surprise, “You actually don’t refute Xiaoman’s matter—no, it’s not that you don’t refute. You’re avoiding me. You like someone else?”
Kang De almost jumped up. “No!”
“…”
“…”
The father and son looked at each other.
A moment later, Kang De said angrily, “If you dare to say it, I’ll… I’ll…”
Kang Jinzhu rolled his eyes and said, “What are you going to do?”
“I’ll advise Teacher Li to kick you out and find a young and tender one. Then, I’ll report to the country and ask you to help. I’ll send you to the furthest village in Comoros to measure my data. Let’s test for 30 to 50 years first before talking. Then, I’ll get the king to match you with a black aunt of similar age, the kind with an upper ring…”
“Sigh, you unfilial son! Look at me…”
“What are you going to do?”
Kang Jinzhu resentfully retracted his hand. He could not fight anymore.
The two of them glared at each other for a while. Father Kang asked, “Who is it?”
Kang De also sat back in the distance and said in a muffled voice, “No.”
“Then they’re throwing themselves at you. You don’t dare to receive it anymore.”
“You don’t understand…”
“Heh.”
“What are you laughing at, an old sow?”
Kang Jinzhu reached out and said, “Let me see the photo.”
“No.”
“Who is it?”
Kang De raised his body and looked at the sky. After a moment of silence, he said, “How should I put it? It’s not love, but I have a good impression of girls with good personalities and are beautiful. Who doesn’t like them? However, when you talk about marriage, it’s far from it. I don’t know how to tell you…”
He sighed and said, “In short, I don’t want to talk about that now.”
“Why?”
“No reason.”
Hearing this, Kang Jinzhu fell silent.
Kang De was also silent.
Why? Because he was afraid.
Human experience would shape their personalities. This was a changing process. As time passed, as experience happened, and as time passed, this was called growth. This was called change.
What Kang De had experienced and changed in the past year or two had almost surpassed the lives of mortals.
On the Holy Seal Islands, he was a pessimist. He released information to the outside world every day and gained nothing every day. Every day, he used the diary as his last will and tried his best to leave his mark on the dead world.
It was the same day and night, year after year.
On the night of Glory Sand Town, he experienced separation in life and death. If not for the fact that it could be said to be fate and a coincidence, he would not be here at this moment. Instead, he would have long died under the curse divine power and become a skeleton of the white fog world. In every battle and danger that followed, the enemy went from a local tyrant to a hegemony and powerful country in the world. The blood debt and hatred increased again, and there were even mysterious enemies from outer space.
Could he continue to win?
Could he live forever?
What would happen in the future?
With such thoughts in mind, he did not dare to respond to Tina’s feelings. Perhaps she had sensed this and gently accommodated it. He had still left his will in the most secret place and enough inheritance to allow his parents to live without worry for half a lifetime. He would always consider the future and be prepared that someone would leave him one day in the future, even if that possibility made his heart ache when he thought of it.
Pessimism, hesitation, morals, dilemma, and choice.
At this moment, he recalled the heroic words of a past hero. Perhaps, and only perhaps, the hero back then had said such a thing not only because of heroism and courage but also because of gentle considerations.
At this moment, his father said faintly, “What are you doing?”
His father had asked this question before.
Immediately after, he shook his head and said, “Forget it, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.”
However, what if that father did not want to? Just like how his mother did not ask anything about Kang De’s supernatural powers on the phone, how could she not be curious? However, the risk of leaks increased with the addition of another person to know.
He would rather know nothing than let his son increase the hidden risk.
Kang De slowly said, “I’m doing what you taught me to do.”
Kang Jinzhu sighed, “I’d rather you be selfish… Heavens, a hot-blooded young man with rough edges and superpowers. You’re simply the most terrifying righteous companion.”
“I will.”
Kang De turned to look at him. “I guarantee that when I encounter danger, the first people I think of are you guys.”
Kang Jinzhu did not speak. Instead, he patted his shoulder.
“Speaking of which.”
“What?”
“Picture.”
“…”
“Send a picture.”
“…”
“Let me see!”
“…I really can’t do anything to you. Don’t tell anyone. After seeing it, it’s good that you understand.”
“Alright, I want to see… hiss!”
“Look, look…”
“Who is this?!”
“Look, look, look hard.”
“…Who is this?! How can there be more?! There’s also this! Are they sisters?!”
“…Lower your voice.”
“Why is there even white hair?! Tsk! You’re f*cking too satisfied!”
Not only could curiosity kill the cat, but it could also make the middle-aged man unable to sleep because of jealousy.
That night, Kang Jinzhu finally understood how satisfying it could be for a superhuman.
The next day.
Kang Jinzhu, who had not slept enough, came downstairs and saw Kang De playing with a group of armed police officers. Good lord, he almost treated this place as the performance venue of the Olympic gymnastics final.
When he saw his father, he turned around and flew down. “You’re awake?”
Kang Jinzhu said with a black face, “You ate breakfast?”
Kang De nodded and said, “I ate it long ago.”
“…When?”
“About five hours ago,” Kang De said proudly. “My current biological clock is still Beijing time!”
…Actually, it was nonsense. With the time difference in the other world, it had long been dark.
However, the body strengthened by the black beast crystal could do whatever it wanted.
Kang Jinzhu frowned and said, “It was still one or two in the morning five hours ago. Who can you find to make breakfast for you?”
Kang De blinked his large innocent eyes. “Xiaoman.”
“…”
“Yes, I ate when I returned to the country.”
With the teleportation ability, he could do whatever he wanted. However, after seeing those photos last night, the emotion that rose in Kang Jinzhu’s heart was not envy, but disdain. He spat, “Scumbag!”
“—It’s none of your business, old thing!”
Although that was the case, Kang De still accompanied his father to the canteen for breakfast. Eating together with father and son was secondary. The most important thing was that it could disgust people.
“Have you thought of the company name?”
“I’ve thought about it. I’ve flipped through the dictionary for a long time.”
“…What’s it called?”
“Let’s talk later.”
Kang Jinzhu shook his head. Whatever. It was only a name. How bad could it be?
The name was not important. What was important was the company itself.
“I told you yesterday to swallow Wang Yongzhi’s family business. Although it’s a joke, there’s one thing very important. The company needs people. Where can you find talent to start this company? From Wang Yongzhi? Get the country to support you? Let me say this first, I won’t do it. I…”
“Alright, I don’t want you to participate. After this storm is over, directly transfer back to the country to spend some alone time with Teacher Li. Look at the old woman at home more and don’t be jealous of your young and handsome son.”
“D*mn…”
Father Kang originally wanted to pretend and wait for his son to beg. He did not expect this little b*stard to actually dare to do this.
“So, what are you thinking?”
“Discuss it with the king.”
He wanted to cooperate with the country now. He could not let the country do everything. If the company was filled with people sent by the country, what would happen?
At this moment, voices sounded from the entrance of the canteen. The father and son turned around and saw the king’s shining teeth adding luster to his black face, “Kang De! Jinzhu!”
Kang De stuffed the milk bun into his mouth and stood up. “Come and eat?”
“I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten,” the king said. “I have something to tell you.”
Kang Jinzhu also poured the remaining pickled vegetables into the porridge, stirred it, and drank it. “Then let’s go to the ambassador’s office… From today onwards, there will be many things to do.”
In the office, the four of them met.
The ambassador clearly had something to tell Kang De. The king also had something to tell him, but things went from easy to difficult. Kang De spoke first. After all, the matter of opening a company only needed the king to sign and decide.
“I’ve already thought of the name.”
Kang De looked at the ambassador, his father, and the king’s gazes. He took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction.
“It’s called…” He said forcefully, “The African Weapons Scepter League!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…Ah?”
The ambassador and the king looked at each other. After all, he was their biological son. After Kang Jinzhu returned to his senses, he said bluntly, “What kind of lousy name is this?”
“African since this is a company in Comoros. It’s normal to start with Africa. We definitely have to do firearms so add the word Weapons. There’s nothing wrong, right? I was conferred the title of chief yesterday. The king gave me the Scepter. This is not only my personal power, but also the power of the vast people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We have to unite these powers and expel the evil European colonists and imperialists…”
“…Wait, wait, wait.”
Father Kang interrupted his son’s explanation, “I’m not asking you to explain this. I’m explaining why you thought of such a lousy name all night? You still have to check the dictionary?”
Kang De sneered. He walked to the desk and picked up his pen. “In any case, that’s the name.”
“How awkward,” Kang Jinzhu said. “Look, when everyone heard it, they didn’t know what you were talking about. When others heard it, they felt that this name was baffling and couldn’t remember it at all.”
Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “They’ll remember. No matter how awkward it is, people will remember.”
With that, he laughed, “Moreover, it’s not a mouthful at all.”
He picked up a pen and wrote on the paper.
African Weapons Scepter League.
Kang De waved his pen and wrote down this line of English and initials, “In short—”
“A.W.S.L.!”
