Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

169 Wooden Axe Warning

Kang De’s thoughts about Mayor Nick’s actions were very simple.

It was understandable, but it was a little unacceptable.

Think about it, if he, Kang De, did not have the relationship of a knight and a princess and was only an ordinary transmigrator, in the blink of an eye, he would inexplicably transmigrate to the other world and transmigrate to Valentine City. Before he could figure out the situation, the elves suddenly came and there was a war. The mayor closed the city gate and could enter but not leave. Moreover, seeing that his bones were exquisite, he wanted to enlist him in the army and fight for a city and country that had nothing to do with him…

Wow, only a fool would do this.

Thinking in his shoes, if he really encountered such a thing, if he was forcefully recruited and participated in the killing, he would definitely feel extremely humiliated and angry. He would definitely use all his methods to take revenge. Not only did he have to take revenge on Nick, but he also had to take revenge on this country.

After all, Mayor Nick was not a peerless beauty, nor did he have a pitiful sister.

This was clearly human nature.

Due to this mentality of thinking in his shoes, a suspicious and sensitive transmigrator like Kang De was extremely wary of a person like Mayor Nick. Not to mention anything else, this mayor was already a little crazy.

He even felt that even if he revealed his identity, he could not leave.

This was because he had already displayed his value and strength on the city wall.

Moreover, Nick must have a very good reason.

—This is Goethe. Behind us are the citizens of Goethe. The Tedrell family is fighting a bloody battle for this country. Even the youngest princess is no exception. We can all die defending the city. As the Prince Consort of Goethe, the owner of this land, you naturally have to stay and fight!

Something like that.

As for Leona and Hong San’s mood, it was easy to understand.

They and the people they were familiar with had all become cannon fodder for the defense of the city under Mayor Nick’s violent resistance policy. The Heaven and Earth Association had just suffered heavy casualties. Even if they admitted in their hearts that there was actually no problem with Mayor Nick’s actions, how could they accept it emotionally?

Therefore, Hong San was inexplicably angry and fainted.

Therefore, Leona, who had fewer worries and something to rely on, was shocked and furious. Killing intent immediately arose. In her opinion, the lives of the loyal guards of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce far exceeded the gains and losses of this city. What did Goethe have to do with her, a citizen of the Empire? The sooner she killed Nick and let the city fall easily, the fewer sins could occur.

There was no problem with everyone’s thoughts. They were all normal thoughts based on their own stand.

Therefore…

Facing Leona’s expectant expression, Kang De rolled his eyes. “What are you thinking? Assassinate Nick? To think you can think of that.”

The girl was stunned for a moment before provoking, “Are you afraid?”

Kang De rolled his eyes. “Of course I’m afraid. I’m afraid you’ll be in danger.”

Leona was stunned and blushed. “What nonsense are you talking about?! You’re indecent!”

Kang De was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

The girl snorted, “H-how can I be in danger? Do I need you to worry? Huh?”

Kang De was even more puzzled. He looked at him as if he was stupid, “Nick is clearly prepared long ago and wants to fight the elves to the death in Valentine City. When the Heaven and Earth Association first entered the city, they were chosen by Nick and chosen as cannon fodder. He drove the entire city and forced the various worlds. He must be mentally prepared to offend everyone. The city is in chaos under a high-pressure policy. Could it be that he’s not prepared and contingent?”

“At that time, if the assassination fails or he senses it in advance before the operation, what should I do? I can leave. What about the Vidal Chamber of Commerce? What about you?”

Leona was tongue-tied. “This… might not be…”

“Yes, definitely not, okay?”

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “Your plan is simply whimsical. As the highest officer in the city, he fought a bloody battle with the elves. How can he not be wary of assassins?”

“Moreover, even if you plan this and succeed, the vacuum period between Nick’s death and the elves breaking through the city will definitely fall into great panic and chaos.”

“If the person in charge of the assassination is seen, there’s only one outcome. I’ll run away, and the furious people will associate it with the Vidal Chamber of Commerce and the Heaven and Earth Association and kill you all.”

“If no one sees me, it’s fine. Everyone who has fallen into madness, in the end, will definitely hate everything and still kill people everywhere to vent their anger. How can you bastards of the Empire get away with betraying Goethe?”

Leona was even more speechless. Looking at Kang De’s caring gaze, she was very angry and said angrily, “You’re so powerful, can’t you persevere until the elves enter the city? After the elves enter the city, we’ll be completely safe. At that time, we can leave calmly.”

Kang De looked at her with a strange expression.

It made the girl feel a little afraid.

She glared at him and said, “You… what are you looking at?”

Kang De sighed. “Are you really a business genius, not the kind to brag?”

This was simply the most praiseworthy and proud professional standard for suspecting Miss Leona. She could not tolerate it at all, but in the face of Kang De’s doubts, the girl still felt a little guilty.

After all, the key to doing business was not integrity, but integrity when it was necessary. As a qualified businessman, after seeing the simple but terrifying concept and methods of the Ponzi scheme, she was extremely impressed. In any case, she could not think of such a crazy idea.

However, Kang De easily thought of it.

Therefore, after hearing Kang De question her professional standards, although the girl was very unhappy, she could not stand straight. It was like a university student sizing him up suspiciously when he saw the Nobel Prize winner in physics and asking him if he was really a university student. Then, although this person’s first reaction was that he had entered a university with his own ability, he still felt uneasy and did not know where he had lost face.

She did not even curse and was a little short of breath. “What… what’s wrong?”

Kang De sighed again, “Let’s put it this way. Today, the elves almost won. If the elves rush to the top of the wall, everything will basically be over. At the critical moment, I was the one who stopped them, destroyed the soil slope, and repelled the cavalry. The damage was not small, dampening the elves’ spirits and opening the prelude to a counterattack…”

Leona said, “Alright, I know you’re awesome and have found out what you’ve done. You’re indeed very powerful. There’s no need to emphasize it anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted to join forces with you to kill Nick…”

“That’s not what I meant…”

Kang De said faintly, “What I mean is that the elves attacked forcefully and came up with strange schemes. It can be said that they put in a lot of effort. The victory was slapped back by me, and all their efforts were in vain. Moreover, the casualties are not light and they’re covered in dust. Do you think they’ll put a large bounty on me to vent their anger after breaking through the city?”

Leona was stunned for a moment, then her fair and beautiful face quickly flushed red.

For a moment, she was ashamed and angry.

—D*mn, how could I have forgotten about this?!

From the looks of it, the so-called use of the reputation and strength of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce to bring Kang De away calmly was simply a huge joke! Moreover, asking Kang De to help resist the last madness in the city during the vacuum period and wait for the elves to enter was simply the biggest joke of a joke.

—Why didn’t I think of this?

This mistake… was too low-level!

Girls were all very shy.

Especially in front of others, especially special people.

Leona’s impression of Kang De was very complicated, but one thing was very clear. She was unwilling to be embarrassed in front of him. Perhaps it was about the axe, or perhaps it was for other reasons…

However, she had actually said such a stupid thing seriously just now and it had all fallen into this guy’s eyes. He must be laughing in his mind! He might even suspect her…

For a moment, a huge sense of shame rose. Her face was red as she grabbed her clothes tightly. For the first time in her life, she did not know what to say. She only felt tears gradually fill her eyes.

In a daze, Kang De looked at her.

The girl’s body even trembled slightly, and she was prepared to face even more excessive mockery.

However, she only heard a sigh.

Then, she felt her head sink.

The other party reached out and pressed her head before touching it twice.

The last time Kang De did such a thing, he was scolded by her. She was not a child, and girls hated being touched by men. The stupid girl who would do this was purely a virgin who had read too many casual books and believed the other party’s imagination.

However, this time, she forgot to be angry or was not in the mood to be angry.

Then she heard Kang De’s voice, calm and gentle.

“I know why you proposed such a lousy plan.”

Kang De said softly, “It’s just that you’re flustered, right? You’re worried about the lives of the subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce and can’t bear to see them die an unnatural death. Even if you’re safe, you’ll be worried about their safety. You’ll be flustered by concern and want to do something, but in the end, you discovered that you’re helpless… Is that so?”

The girl looked at him, the fog in her eyes getting thicker.

Kang De smiled at her.

“I can understand your feelings and know your thoughts, so don’t worry.”

He said, “Even if the assassination plan doesn’t work, I’ll try my best to think of a way to help you save these people’s lives… After all, this matter started because of me. The reason why you came here is also to find me.”

Leona grabbed her lapels and pursed her lips. Her eyes were sparkling as she said nothing.

In the next moment, she reached out and slapped Kang De’s hand away. There was a trace of crying in her voice, “I told you not to touch girls’ heads casually, you fool!”

Then, she threw herself into Kang De’s arms and cried as she hugged him. She cried and hit him, “You also know that I came for you! You also know how worried I am about them! What if they die? I brought them over! They have no complaints about being conscripted! I came to you for help, but you still suspected me! You even bullied me! You even mocked me! Why did you run around?! Why didn’t you leave?!”

Her voice became louder and louder. “Why are you Tina’s lover?!”

At this moment, the girl’s cries woke up the unconscious Hong San.

The Mountain Chieftain of the Heaven and Earth Association had just woken up when he heard the girl’s weak whimper.

As well as this explosive line that made people’s imaginations run wild.
