Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 240

240 Seeing Young Master Xie Off

There were five people in the living room.

Three were dead, and two were alive.

The hooligan leader leaned on the sofa and lay on his back weakly, cold sweat dripping down his face.

His eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.

In modern society, who had the chance to see such a thing?

!!
He thought that it was a little orange cat, but he did not expect it to be a tiger.

It was like a dream. Or rather, he yearned extremely for all of this to be a nightmare.

However, that was not the case. The companions who were still alive not long ago were not far away. They were all silent. They either fell to the ground or lay on the sofa with their eyes wide open.

In the blink of an eye, they were killed.

Moreover, he was extremely sure that he was still alive not because he was very impressive.

The tiger sat beside him and even hugged his shoulder. They sat side by side on the sofa, like two good brothers talking about the past.

However, it was not a reminiscence, but an interrogation.

How did Xie Guangjun contact him? Who was in charge of contacting him? How could they maintain contact? Who was the middleman? What deeper connection did he have with Xie Guangjun? Where was Xie Guangjun now and what he was doing?

And many more.

The hooligan leader answered every question in extreme detail.

On the one hand, extreme pure fear made him lose all the courage to resist and lie.

On the other hand, he had been ordered to do something tonight, but he had encountered such an unimaginable desperate situation. Even his life was threatened. Facing Kang De’s destructive killing, this mortal had completely lost all his courage and did not dare to hate the ruthless Kang De. However, the anxiety and fear in his heart for tonight’s failure naturally turned to Xie Guangjun.

He had thoughts like, “You caused me to fall into such a state, so don’t think about living well. Aren’t you powerful and capable? Then try dealing with this monster.”

Therefore, he confessed everything.

After all, he still had the thought of confessing. Cooperation and conversation could buy time and let him find a chance to survive… He had to live. He did not want to die.

“You must be very afraid.”

Hearing this, the hooligan leader’s body shook.

The other party’s tone was very calm, just like before.

His house had been broken into by four strangers. His personal safety, dignity, and even his life were enveloped and threatened by the money and malice of rich people. He was completely pitiful prey without any threat. Under such circumstances, the other party still maintained a calm tone and posture. He had been calm from the beginning to the end.

At that time, the hooligan leader even secretly praised the other party’s courage or guessed that he had something else to rely on.

However, he did not expect the other party to actually rely on this.

He even felt a sense of absurdity, funny, and sorrow.

He thought that he was a hunter and the other party was prey, but in the end, he was actually not even an ant.

It was laughable that he had even earnestly told him the truth and logic of the world and told the naive and childish students that the world was not as fair and simple as he thought… How laughable.

However, the logic was right. This world was not simple.

This world… actually had supernatural powers.

Moreover, it happened beside him.

Every time he thought of this, he almost felt the urge to pee, and endless fear appeared in his heart.

As the leader of the hooligans and a fighter who did dirty work, he had once bullied the weak and took pleasure in it. He thought that he had the courage and courage to break the rules and crawl through the loopholes in the law. He exerted punches and kicks on the weak and those who followed the rules, insulted the other party’s dignity, and rewrote the other party’s fate. He had once felt extremely accomplished and felt that he was a wolf. He was different and was born a predator. He was born with the right to bully the weak.

Then, when a wolf like him encountered a true predator who did not rely on any money, status, or power and relied on his own strength to far surpass humans, what should he do?

The three dead people were the answer.

He had personally seen the killing happen and it ended instantly. It was clean and without any hesitation.

It was as if he was slaughtering livestock.

The hooligan leader’s voice was already sobbing.

During the interrogation, he racked his brain to find a chance to survive, but the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

He begged sadly, “Don’t… don’t kill me…”

Kang De reached out and patted his shoulder. He said amiably, “Let me ask you, are you afraid?”

The other party nodded desperately.

“Yes, it’s human nature. After all, you’ve never seen such a thing in your life. Anyone would be afraid. Think about it, we’re all ordinary people and have normal interactions. Suddenly, I become Superman and start to twist your necks. This is too unreasonable. Of course, you’ll be afraid.”

Kang De sighed. “But I, I’m also afraid.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to tell you that I was shocked. I was shocked by you.”

“Before this, I really didn’t know that this world was like this.”

He seemed to be chatting as he rubbed the space between his eyebrows and sighed, “I was born in the 1990s. When I began to understand, our country had already become very good. The process of my growth was to personally witness the process of our country becoming better and better and more developed. Society is advancing, the law is perfecting, and everything is very good. Our young generation is building up absolute national confidence. Even younger children don’t quite believe in that difficult history, because they can’t imagine that our powerful motherland was actually weak to that extent.”

“As for me, I once thought that the rich second-generation heirs are heartless and unscrupulous. They will only exist in novels, or in relatively remote and chaotic places a decade or two ago. After all, the law is so perfect now, the anti-corruption effort is so strong, and the media is so developed. How can the rich be so unscrupulous?”

“After all, this is not Korea.”

“It’s the capital of a developed province on the east coast. It’s a celebrity city.”

“There’s actually such a thing?”

“Moreover, you hooligans actually know the law and actually did it more than once. You actually arranged everything clearly. Do you want to build an industry from this?”

“Your excuse, the way you threatened, the method you used to commit the crime, and the arrangements after that. I, an innocent and childish university student, actually can’t hear too many flaws. Even if there are flaws, the professional legal advisor team formed by Xie Guangjun can think of a plan with the lowest price and impact, right?”

“I’m afraid. Really, really afraid.”

“If this falls to me, I can crush you one by one. I can even make Xie Guangjun’s entire family die suddenly and kill his entire family. No one can know that I did it.”

“But I’m different. I’m the only one in the world.”

“As for China, there are more than a billion ordinary people without money and power.”

Kang De turned around and looked at the hooligan leader. He said seriously, “I only bought a house that made Xie Guangjun feel guilty. He violated the laws of the country and wanted to hide them. As for what happened today, 70% of it is because he committed evil and 30% is because I found trouble for no reason, but what if it was anyone else?”

“What if it’s other conflicts?”

“How many ways does Xie Guangjun have to make an ordinary person like him unable to continue living because of an extremely legitimate reason to have a grudge against a rich, powerful, and heartless b*stard like Xie Guangjun? If an ordinary person was found by you tonight, what would he do?”

“He would be beaten, humiliated, tortured, taken photos of, recorded videos, and harassed. Should he kneel or fight to the death? Kneeling means losing his dignity, matter, and even more precious things. If he fights to the death, it means that as an ordinary person, he’ll start a full-scale war with this powerful b*stard. What should he do? How much should he lose? Can he win? Can he persevere until the day he wins?”

“Even if he wins, can he take back what he lost? Who can make up for it? What did he do wrong?”

“A young man who obeys the law and thinks that the world is very beautiful and that he can obtain everything by working hard is wantonly humiliated by you social scum. If it were ordinary people tonight, how would they feel now? How ugly would your faces have been at that time?”

“You can even do such a thing by forcefully injecting drugs. D*mn, don’t you know how miserable the people you injected are? They can’t escape for almost their entire lives. Everything, their bright lives, are gone. You can stay in jail for a few years and get money when you get out, but others have their lives ruined. When you threatened and even did this, did you think about the feelings of the victims and their lives?”

At this point, Kang De grabbed the other party’s hair and shook it.

“If you’re afraid now, what about the people you’ve once humiliated?”

“I said that you’re doing evil and taking Xie Guangjun’s money. Aren’t you afraid of retribution? Don’t you mind?”

“What about now? Do you know what retribution is?”

Hearing this, the hooligan leader was already terrified. He only took money to do things and was familiar with it. He thought that it was foolproof, but who knew that he would encounter such a thing?!

He wailed, “Don’t… don’t kill me…”

No matter how eloquent he was, under true fear, he only said this sentence.

“Life and death are important, so I never lie in this aspect,” Kang De said calmly. “No.”

“But I can tell you two things.”

“Firstly, after seeing you come to my house just now, I was thinking about how to scare you, whether I could tamper with your memories, and how to teach you a lesson. What really made me slowly want to kill is what you said to me later, the threat to my family, your fearless attitude, your record of doing all kinds of evil, and… your thoughts on the use of drugs.”

“You asked for it.”

“Secondly, you’re lackeys, accomplices, and evildoers, but Xie Guangjun, who’s also an evildoer or even worse, won’t live alone. You’ll wait for him in hell.”

Kang De’s expression was very calm from the beginning to the end. “What else do you have to say?”

The person who was about to die struggled crazily, but unfortunately, he could not move at all. Snot, tears, and even saliva surged out, and his face was in a mess. He begged and wailed, but he did not dare to curse.

He muttered, “Please, please, don’t kill me. It’s very troublesome, really troublesome. Surveillance! Yes, yes, yes! There’s surveillance! There’s surveillance!”

This was what Kang De had said to them previously.

The hooligan leader grabbed his life-saving straw and said, “Surveillance! Surveillance! There’s surveillance in the elevator and in the district. If we come here and disappear into thin air, it’ll bring you trouble!”

“Leave me alive. I’ll think of a way to deal with the three of them. After I’m done, I’ll leave City H for Southeast Asia and never return! I can give you the money Xie Guangjun gave me! The three of them…”

Kang De smiled, his expression calm and gentle.

“You don’t have to worry about the three of them. As for the surveillance, it’s not a problem. Even if the police investigate this matter, they’ll see you taking the elevator up and leaving. As for me, I’ve been sleeping in my hometown in the suburbs from the beginning to the end tonight. There’s no record of me returning, nor did I leave. There are witnesses and physical evidence.”

He patted the other party’s shoulder and pointed back. “Come, greet your brothers.”

When that person heard this, he turned around with a stiff expression and saw his companion lying on the sofa slowly sit up. He was first stunned, then ecstasy surged in his heart—he was not dead!

His other two companions slowly got up from the ground.

Joy was immediately filled with the heart of the hooligan leader. All of this was only to scare him? His companions were not dead? So that was the case, so that was the case. This person did not dare to scare him…

However, the smile froze on his face.

This was because what greeted his eyes were not his companions’ puzzled or lingering expressions.

Instead, they were stiff, dull, and lifeless faces.

There was no luster in their eyes.

Their heads hung slightly.

They were like mindless puppets.

Although this situation had never really happened in modern society, it was not so unfamiliar to Earthlings, because countless movies, games, and literary works had depicted the image of such a thing.

The hope and joy on his face instantly turned into endless fear and despair.

He opened his mouth to scream, but everything froze.

This hooligan thug heard the last sentence.

“You’re all wearing sunglasses. This is very good and professional.”

In the scroll placed on Kang De’s right hand, the light of magic power gradually dissipated.

Puppet Technique.

He stood up. The other scroll shone and flowed like water, causing Kang De’s body to gradually disappear. Only when he looked carefully could he see a few strange ripples under the bright light.

A huge mental strength transformed into four mental beams that controlled the four lifeless corpses. They raised their hands in unison and put on sunglasses to cover the lack of life in their eyes.

Then, they walked towards the door.

They opened the door and filed out. They came to the elevator and pressed the button to enter.

The four of them either leaned against the side wall of the elevator, stood silently, or shook their heads as if disappointed.

They went all the way to the basement floor, the underground garage. The reason why these people could pass through the security entrance of the district was that the person who had arranged this operation for Xie Guangjun had obtained the entrance card of the district and even borrowed a parking space. He did not know how they had borrowed it, but the owner of the parking space probably did not know that the goal of borrowing a parking space was actually this… However, this was what happened.

Of course, Kang De would not find trouble with the other party. However, the other party could not hide from the subsequent investigation and interrogation of the public security bureau. Who asked him to be so obedient?

According to the hooligan leader’s previous statement, Kang De found their old car. His mental strength spread out. The four of them got into the car separately and sat in the front and back seats. Kang De jumped up and sat on the roof.

“Let’s go send Young Master Xie off.”
