Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 239 – 239 Terror

239 Terror
“That's f*cking awesome.”

Kang De let out a long breath.

To be honest, after thinking about it, he did not think of this possibility.

Xie Guangjun had actually found a few hooligans to come to his house directly, and they had even broken into the house.

Moreover, it was in the city, a prosperous area, and a high-end district. There were two police stations within a three-kilometer radius. He could reach the district government in ten minutes by bicycle.

‘You're going to heaven.'

At this moment, Kang De's mood could only be described with one word.

D*mn.

This matter was simply ridiculous.

Brother, this was a lawful society.

—You're still a rich second-generation heir, and your father is still a famous entrepreneur. Don't you care about the social impact?

However, no matter what, it had already happened.

Getting even with Xie Guangjun was in the future. There were still four things to deal with now.

Kang De shook his head and passed by the person who had come to check on the commotion before walking into the living room.

He looked at the French windows north of the living room. The curtains had been drawn.

Then, he looked at the door and saw that it was tightly closed.

The messy bags and fruit cores scattered on the coffee table were from the refrigerator. Old Wang had bought them.

“Brothers, your culinary skills are good,” Kang De said. “Are you all full? If you're not full, eat more.”

“Ah, you're a little bold.”

The person who spoke was more stable and confident than the other three. He should be the leader. He narrowed his eyes at Kang De like a wolf sizing up his prey, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery.

This gaze was relatively easy to recognize. It was basically the same as the hooligans around the middle school in the early years looking at the students who were studying in famous schools.

These hooligans who had given up their studies early for various reasons thought that they had seen the world and knew some so-called social principles. They felt that the rules were not enough and their fists could earn them more. Therefore, their gazes at those good students who went to school obediently revealed disdain and a sense of superiority, thinking that the other party was only a nerd who studied hard.

Of course, they would definitely not admit that other than disdain, there was also hidden jealousy in their eyes.

As expected, that person smiled and said, “People who have studied are indeed different.”

Of course, the teasing in his tone was not hidden.

This was because, in the current situation, it was four against one. Four gangsters against a university student had an overwhelming advantage. They were a wolf pack, and the other party was only a lonely lamb, as weak as paper.

Kang De only smiled. “You're Xie Guangjun's people?”

Those people laughed at the same time, “No, no, no. We're not. We just don't like you, so we specially came to teach you a lesson. Don't spout nonsense.”

Kang De shook his head and said, “Don't be so vigilant. I don't care if you're or not, but there's surveillance in the elevator and in the district. You definitely don't dare to kill me. Haven't you thought of the consequences of doing this?”

Those people laughed again.

“Kang De, right?”

The leader seemed to enjoy the current situation. This came from the nature of human violence. He liked the feeling of destroying the weak, and he preferred to gradually destroy the defense of such cultured and highly educated people and make them recognize the truth of the world and that society was not as simple as they thought.

Therefore, he smiled and said, “Do you think we're the kind of hooligans who don't know anything and only work for others with money? You don't have to scare me. Let me tell you the consequences.”

“Brothers, we picked the lock and entered. This is called an illegal invasion of a residence. If we beat you up, it will be considered a serious violation of your personal safety. On the basis of crime, we'll be sentenced to not more than three years of fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention.”

“If we're a little rough and hit you until you're lightly injured, this will constitute deliberate injury. It'll also be less than three years. However, if we only slap you, press your head into the toilet, and roast your bird feathers with a lighter, this will be a public order punishment. This will be the final outcome.”

He had a gentle smile on his face. If he changed into a suit and wore glasses, it could not be said that he was a lawyer.

“That's the result.”

The hooligan leader said clearly, “If we hit and humiliate you, you can call the police. We'll be arrested. We'll confess and plead guilty. We'll apologize deeply to you and even take the initiative to compensate you because we have money. For some reason, we have plenty in our accounts.”

“After compensating you, the rest is enough for my family and me to spend a long time. We'll go to jail, and there'll be people taking care of us in prison. Because we're popular, we'll actively undergo reform and perform seriously to strive to be released from prison as soon as possible. After I come out, I'll step into society again and apply for a job. Moreover, I'll obtain a very good position in a large company. It might be better than a job seriously found by a university student like you.”

“That's the result.”

“As for you…”

He smiled warmly.

“We won't hit you too hard. We know the law and we're also civilized people, but we'll probably take some photos and videos and put them on your school's forum or even the intranet to let the teachers and students of your school see. If this is an illegal crime, we'll compensate you accordingly.”

“Therefore, you'll become a celebrity in your school, but I don't think you're in the mood to care about that anymore, because the lawsuit and the statement will torture you for a long time. When you catch your breath a little and feel gratified that we're being punished by the law, there might be a few more people who don't like you on the road one day. Therefore, they'll pry open the lock at night and do what happened today to you again.”

“There's even a third and fourth wave.”

“That's the result. The result you want.”

“How is it? How do you feel?”

He smiled and stared into Kang De's eyes. The other three looked at him, trying to see what they wanted to see on the young man's face. Fear, panic, disbelief, forcefulness, and weakness.

Kang De sighed. “For such a small matter?”

“That's probably not a small matter, brother.”

That person sighed, “Why do you want to compete with rich people? Do you think that we're in a legal society now? The world is very fair and everything is very clean?”

“The rich won't argue with you because they can't be bothered to. If they really argue with you, can you defeat them? Even a boor like me knows that the law is lagging. There are loopholes that can be exploited, let alone by the rich. There's no such thing as collusion between officials and business now. The anti-corruption and promotion of integrity are done very well. We all know that the national law is strict, but who told you that the rich have to collude with officials to deal with you? There's no need.”

“You think you can protect yourself with the weapons of the law?”

“But rich people know the law better than you.”

His smile was both mocking and disdainful. “How do you feel, university student?”

“To be honest, I'm quite shocked. A university student like me with a much better family background and more education than you will definitely have a brighter future than you. I really didn't expect there to be such a way to play.”

Kang De looked at every pair of eyes, then pointed outside the door. “My neighbor, a rich second-generation heir, is my childhood friend. My father and her father are also childhood friends. You said that rich people are very powerful. Aren't you afraid of this rich person in her family?”

“Xie Guangjun asked you to deal with me and scare me. Aren't you afraid that I won't let go and will definitely find him?”

The leader shrugged and said, “Firstly, I don't know who Xie Guangjun is. Secondly, I was talking nonsense just now and was captured by the police. I told you that this was all my own idea. In any case, in a legal society, we can't torture a confession. Without evidence, you can't make me confess, right?”

“If you insist, it's fine. Let's fight a lawsuit. He's rich. He can spend money to find a big-shot lawyer and play with you every day. He can skip work for a month and his father will still transfer money to him. As for you, are you going to learn or not? Are you going to find a job? Aren't you afraid of being beaten up?”

“Even if you're stubborn, tough man, where's your father? Where's your mother? Your mother is a teacher, right? I heard from others that you're not afraid that someone will go to school to cause trouble? Does the family want peace?”

This person's tone was still very calm and even a little earnest.

It was as if these four people were not here to do evil but to persuade.

“Brother, it's not easy for you to study. Listen to my advice. Don't force yourself. You can't carry it. If they want to deal with you, how can a commoner fight with a rich person?”

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a ball of smoke, like a big brother who had seen through the world.

“We still have to do this today. It's not that I want to criticize you, but why did you offend him so ruthlessly? If you admit your mistake here and beg for mercy, you have to be beaten up. However, you can't drink shit and urine. After all, he has to vent his anger. You still have to suffer.”

“Listen to my advice. After being beaten up, think about who you offended. Hurry up and think of a way to apologize. Think about what he wants. Hurry up and send it up. Don't carry it. Really.”

He raised his chin and looked at Kang De, wanting to see him break down.

However, there was still nothing.

“According to you…” Kang De said coldly, “I have to thank you for being soft-hearted and not insulting me. I have to thank you for hitting me. Why? Do you think you're very loyal, principled, and kind?”

“Xie Guangjun is doing evil. In order to take his money, you also did evil. You're a b*stard. Do you still want to build a memorial? Do you still think you're a hero? You persuaded me to admit defeat because you're afraid that I'll call the police, right? If I'm afraid, I won't dare to make a fuss. Not only won't you have to go to jail, but you'll also get money. How good is that?”

“Aren't you afraid of retribution for taking such money?”

When those people heard this, they cursed one after another and were even prepared to attack. The leader waved his hand and stopped his lackey. He stood up with an ugly expression.

“You are really stubborn. I'm quite impressed that you're still holding on now. I've dealt with a few people before. There are people who have seen more than you. There are only three people as hard as you.”

“Therefore, I'm very curious why you're still so calm.”

That person sneered, “Two of those three people were also afraid after being beaten up. After all, it hurts. The remaining one was not afraid even after being beaten up. In the end, he was still afraid. Guess how he was afraid?”

Kang De chuckled, “I want to hear it.”

“Alright, then I'll tell you. I only explained one law to him.”

This hooligan who knew the law said with a cruel smile, “Article 353, those who force others to take drugs and inject them will be sentenced to three to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment and face a fine.”

Kang De's pupils constricted.

“How is it, university student?”

“I'll use a few years in prison to exchange for my bonus and job after I'm released. All that in exchange for your life.”

“How is it? How do you feel?”

“What do you have to fight with rich people?”

“We didn't prepare anything this time. He's kind, moral, and cultured. He doesn't plan to ruin your life, but if you continue to not know how to appreciate favors… do you want to try?”

These hooligans smiled coldly and cruelly.

There was a dark side in a person's soul.

This was because humans were once animals, and humans had always been animals.

It was satisfying to control the fate of others, trample on their dignity, make them bend their knees, and make them beg for mercy, even if they were only executors.

Kang De slowly exhaled. “F*ck.”

He slowly turned around and looked at everyone's faces, his eyes changing.

In their eyes, this was the precursor to collapse and fear.

The leader said, “Why, you didn't expect this?”

“Yes, I've learned something new,” Kang De said indifferently. “I thought it was an urban novel. I didn't expect it to be horror genre.”

“What?”

Kang De did not answer. Instead, he walked to the bed and closed the curtains. He ran his finger across the thick curtains, and a light that could not be noticed by the naked eye flashed.

He said indifferently, “How many times have you done this? How many times has Xie Guangjun done it?”

After asking, he shook his head. “Forget it, I can't get the truth now.”

His finger wandered on the curtain as he drew, “Do you know that after we met yesterday, Xie Guangjun thanked me and said that I made him understand something? Today, I have to thank you too. You also let me know some things. I was indeed a little arrogant earlier.”

The few of them looked at each other.

The common sense of modern society was Earth's common sense, science, and logic.

They had already checked Kang De's bedroom earlier, but they found nothing. After seeing him walk out of the bedroom, their first thought was naturally that he had been hiding somewhere previously and would definitely not think that this guy had just teleported back.

Now, Kang De had always been calm and peaceful. Their thoughts were only “this guy has a tough personality and something to rely on. He won't cry until he sees the coffin” and nothing else.

However, now, after Kang De leisurely said those words, these people finally felt a trace of unease.

It was not that he had discovered something, but the intuition of humans as creatures.

The hooligan closest to him suddenly stood up. He had already had enough of Kang De's pretentious appearance. He reached out to grab his head. “Kneel down…”

Kang De turned around, grabbed his arm, and looked him in the eye. “What's your name?”

The hooligan struggled with all his might, but he was shocked to discover that the other party's hand was like an iron clamp.

Before he could say anything, Kang De sighed.

“Ah, there's actually no need to tell me. Just like how I don't remember the name of the knight I cut open with my flying axe… It's actually nothing.”

He looked at the other party and said softly, “But you can still feel the supreme honor.”

Click.

In an instant, everything happened.

The three hooligans saw their companion in a deadlock with Kang De. Then, Kang De's hand appeared above the other party's head. In the next moment, with a tooth-aching crisp sound, the familiar companion's head turned 180 degrees and stared at them. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes had already begun to unfocus.

Plop.

The corpse fell to the ground.

The three of them stood in a daze. They could not react at all to what had happened.

They only watched all of this in shock.

Kang De looked at the leader.

“You said that you wanted to know why I was so calm from the beginning to the end.”

When the three of them heard this, they looked at Kang De in a daze.

In the next moment, they saw the eyes of this naive and weak university student light up with terrifying lightning. He rose in the air in front of them, and raging flames curled and burned from his arms. The blue frost built a gorgeous magic ring behind him. Under the dazzling golden light, the red cloak turned from illusory to solid and spread out from behind him. A dazzling golden light filled his entire body and finally turned into a golden armor with shining runes.

Kang De's voice was like a god that rumbled in their hearts.

“Then I'll let you know.”
