Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 147: Language

“You people of the Vidal family are haunting me. Tell me, do you know me?”

Leona and her old butler were stunned.

No matter how they thought about it, they could not think of this situation.

The girl from the Vidal family felt her girlish heart being split into eight pieces by this axe.

—Wow!

What was going on?!

‘I’m a beautiful girl after all! Moreover, I’m a rich woman! The men I’ve seen over the years can’t be said to be humble in front of me, but they’re at least polite!’

‘What are you doing?! Even if you don’t know my identity, even if you think I’m suspicious, do you have to be like this all of a sudden?! Didn’t I write the hint already?! Didn’t I convey goodwill?!’

How should she put it? Humans were sad creatures.

Miss Leona of the Vidal Family was domineering. She did not give in to men and spoke rudely. She was very ill-cultured. She could not stand those so-called elegant and noble gigolos and felt that they were stupid and soft. She also felt that the quality of those rough and bold generals and warriors was poor, vulgar, and shallow. Over the years, she had traveled extensively and had never encountered a man she liked.

Therefore, she was very envious of Tina.

She felt that this silly girl had actually caught a top-notch guy for no reason.

Men not only had to be cultured, well-mannered, and knowledgeable, but most importantly, they had to be brave, domineering, and capable. Leona felt that if she wanted to find a husband, she had to find one like this.

In short, she liked a good-for-nothing like Kang De very much—the kind of gigolo who could say that he could kill her entire family with a romantic expression and could really kill her entire family, not a cowardly fool who surrounded women all day and entertained them.

…But that was before seeing Kang De.

When Kang De ruthlessly slashed his axe into the wall beside Miss Leona’s head, the flying gravel fragments hit the girl’s delicate side profile. This subtle slap in the face made the girl realize something—there was nothing wrong with having a simp who surrounded her and praised her all day.

—At the very least, it was much better than the man in front of her!

How could Tina fancy such a guy?! She must have been bewitched with Eastern sorcery!

For a moment, Leona felt a flame surge in her heart. The curiosity and the good impression she had of Kang De almost instantly dissipated.

At the very least, she still had the most basic rationality and knew that now was not the time to cause a scene. Most importantly, the other party was not a gentleman. She would most likely not be able to defeat him if they fought. Otherwise, with Leona’s temper, she would have long opened her mouth to curse.

If she was 90% sure of Kang De’s identity previously, when she saw this axe, the other party’s identity had completely been confirmed—because the axe Tina carried was similar to this one.

She looked at Kang De hatefully and wanted to explain, but she encountered difficulty. Although she was angry, she could not anger him, so she could not curse. However, she immediately discovered that in the current situation, it was too f*cking difficult to speak without cursing.

When the old butler saw the scene here, he was anxious and rushed over in a flash. However, a figure flashed in front of him. Hong San followed like a shadow and blocked in front of him. The butler felt that he could not gain anything by fighting, so he could only shout, “Sir, we know your background and mean no harm, because my young lady is your wife’s friend!”

Kang De was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Was he talking about Tina?

After all, it was too sudden. After returning to the other world, in the blink of an eye, he had a wife. In the blink of an eye, he also had a son. The joy of having two sets added together made him at a loss. He had yet to mentally prepare himself to become a married man.

He looked at the girl close at hand. This girl was indeed very beautiful.

However, Hannah was also beautiful.

Hannah had also been a good friend of Tina’s.

The Goode family had shown no ill intentions.

Kang De held the axe and turned it gently. Gravel fell to the ground.

He said indifferently, “How can you prove it?”

Leona had been forcing herself to endure it and trying her best to control herself, but after hearing this question, she could not help it.

“How can I f*cking prove it to you?” She said angrily, “Do I have to ask your lover to write a letter of proof? Or tell you where there’s a mole on her body? I’m not your prisoner!”

Kang De said coldly, “Watch your mouth.”

Leona’s eyes widened. “Your f*cking mouth is not clean! What the heck! I came all the way to this godforsaken place in Goethe for you and was even detained here by Nick. I have to fight those sharp ears to the death now. You still f*cking suspect me? You’re heartless! You’re exactly the same as your wife!”

Kang De frowned and said, “Don’t play the emotional card. Who knows if you’re telling the truth? I suspect you because you have a reason to be suspected. Who knows if you’re the female officer sent by Alex to specially come here to find me and scheme against me…”

The girl flew into a rage. “I’m the f*cking heir of the Vidal family. Do you understand the Vidal family?! Who do you think you are? You’re not worthy of me using your honey trap!”

Kang De replied, “I’ve never heard of it. Also, language.”

The calmer he was, the angrier Leona became. Their eyes met and they did not give in to each other. Moreover, they were completely on two different channels.

Leona felt that her efforts were in vain. She had run around for Tina’s matter and even involved herself in Goethe. She was in danger, but Kang De, this bastard, did not appreciate it at all. She was simply wronged.

Kang De, on the other hand, was the wariest of strangers from the Empire. This was because his gullibility and mistake last time had led to lifelong regret. He would not allow himself to make the same mistake again. If the other party could not produce strong evidence, she was a suspect. What else was there to say?

Therefore, there was a stalemate.

The old butler and Leona realized the crux of the problem. They could not quickly gain Kang De’s trust, and the other party’s vigilance and defense were simply unreasonable.

The sound of carriages and people outside entered the alley. Kang De’s expression changed slightly. He felt that the current situation was awkward and troublesome. No matter what, they could not continue to be in a deadlock here.

He gave Hong San a look and mouthed, “Be aggressive.”

Although Hong San did not know what he meant, he actually understood what to do.

“…Uncle-Master.”

The Cathayan said, “This is not the place to talk. It’s too conspicuous. I see that you and this lady have different opinions. If there’s a misunderstanding, you have to make things clear. Miss, you’ve already seen the current situation. Please come with us to our Heaven and Earth Association’s base and explain the matter.”

Leona said angrily, “No! Why aren’t you going to the Vidal Chamber of Commerce?”

Kang De played the role of the white-faced man. Logically speaking, he felt a little regretful now. The white-faced man should have let Hong San disguise himself. He had lowered his favorability too much, but that axe had already slashed down. What could he do?

He could only continue, “Because we’re stronger now. You’re the captive.”

Hong San advised from the side, “Miss, please don’t worry and be afraid. If it’s really as you said, you came with good intentions and a clear conscience, so why worry? We won’t do anything to you. After all, Mayor Nick is also paying attention to you. If anything happens to you, it’ll be difficult for us to explain, right?”

This echo was really irrefutable. Leona glared at Kang De again. Clearly, she could not let go of the axe. She mocked, “Who knows if such a guy will covet my beauty, expose his true appearance, and touch me?”

Kang De pulled out the axe from the wall and said proudly, “Do you think I’m that kind of person?”

“…”

The girl was speechless.

From this guy’s previous performance, he was clearly a bastard without any gentlemanly spirit. God knew how Tina had taken a fancy to him. Hmph, he must have used some evil martial arts.

She snorted and glared at Kang De. “I did this for Tina, not because I’m afraid of you.”

The axe spun in his hand a few times before he put it away. Kang De looked at the silver-haired girl and said indifferently, “If you can prove that this is true, I’ll apologize and thank you.”

Leona did not expect the other party to say such a thing.

She turned her head to the side and snorted, “Who needs you to apologize and thank me?”

Although that was the case, the girl’s opinion of Kang De still changed.

Hmph, he was not hopelessly stupid.

However, Kang De’s next words floated into her ears, “If you lie to me, I’ll kill you.”
