Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 457
Chapter 457: 457
Killing Kant
The negotiations with the French president ended on bad terms.
The world had never changed. Just like a hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, five hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or even longer ago, the strong preyed on the weak, and the winner took all. Humans were just the strongest animals.
The price of disobeying the world’s power followed.
About ten minutes later, Chakat II received a reminder, both openly and secretly.
The Chinese ambassador’s subtle sharing of information and the reports of the spies in Biagon had caused the huge swarm of insects that occupied the skies above Zhuban to swarm up like a silver-gray storm and head east.
” I suggest you stay in the embassy, Mr. King.”
Ambassador He sighed.
It was not that he did not have a grudge against Kant when the matter had come to this. This was human nature. No one liked impulsive hotheads. In the eyes of the outside world, Kant had played such a role. He would go to Fabersi to take revenge at the slightest disagreement. To put it bluntly, this was simply terrorism.
This was purely due to their different positions, experiences, and perspectives. The ambassador was a politician and was well versed in international communication and politics. Harsh conditions were never a problem, because that was the meaning of negotiations. After repeated tug-of-war and bargaining, both sides would be satisfied with the final result. This would inevitably involve involvement and concessions, and this was the essence of politics.
And war, war was always the last resort.
Flipping the table at the drop of a hat, what was this? Was he still going to do business?
Even though he had some complaints about Kant’s actions, he still had to do his part.
There was also a little token of appreciation.
“After all, this is already the safest place in Corora and even West Africa,” he said solemnly.
The king looked at the whitewashed walls and clean corners of the embassy, which formed a sharp contrast with the low and dilapidated buildings outside the window. However, that was his country, not here.
“How can a king stand on the safe shore and watch his people suffer?” he asked.
“But even if you go out, it won’t change anything.” The ambassador sighed.
The king glanced at him.” Mr. Ambassador, decades ago, when your country was suffering, faced with a powerful enemy that made people despair, a dilapidated country, and a situation that could not be won no matter what, did those brave warriors who still sacrificed fearlessly not know that their actions could not change anything?”
The Chinese had nothing to say and could only sigh.
He looked at the young black king. The king’s expression was calm and sincere. He did not hide his love for the land and his people. He had not seen such pure and sincere feelings and such fearlessness in the country for a long time. It was not that China lacked such people, but the increasingly powerful Republic no longer needed people with lofty ideals to sacrifice their lives for the country’s disaster. This was not a few decades ago.
And the path of Komoira had just begun.
Or… He was about to die young.
“I really envy you guys…” Chakat II said softly.
The ambassador was speechless for a moment. He reached out and shook the king’s hand.
“No matter what, I admire you. The doors of the embassy will always be open to you. I sincerely hope that this matter will have a perfect outcome.” Your Majesty, I wish you peace.”
“You know, the outcome of this matter doesn’t depend on me. It depends on one person. I’m counting on him.” The king did not seem to care about his own affairs. His expression slowly became serious.
” The French don’t know what Kant is up to. I can see the uneasiness and confusion in their president’s heart. They are facing an enemy they have never faced before, and this makes them afraid. They don’t intend to sit still and wait for death. They want to make a move on Kant’s father to gain deterrence and leverage.”
“What is your government’s attitude?” Chakat II asked, staring into the ambassador’s eyes.
The ambassador said,” China is an independent sovereign country. It will ensure that every citizen’s personal freedom and the safety of life and property are not violated. It will not succumb to the oppression and coercion of any external forces, nor will it use its own citizens in exchange for anything. You can rest assured about this.”
The King shook his head.” No, I’m not at ease. Big Bob’s locusts have already set off. My men reported that they are heading east and are indifferent to the residents and buildings along the way. Their target is extremely clear, and the French will not place all their hopes on a French mercenary monster…”
” President Fabersi said that they have people like Kant.”
” I think they’ll send someone with supernatural powers to kidnap Kang Jinzhu or even more people to threaten Kant.”
“Even…”
The black man was silent for a moment before he said,” If Kant were to return to Moani through teleportation, we could use our advantage in combat power to suppress him or even…” Destroy them.”
The ambassador listened and nodded slowly.
“Please rest assured that Kang Jinzhu is currently in the basement of the embassy. We will give him special protection. This is the Chinese embassy, the territory of China. No matter if it is Fabixi’s army or anyone else, they will not dare to provoke or force their way in. These are two different things.”
Ambassador He looked a little embarrassed.
After all, two hours ago, he had watched Kant swagger into the embassy and kick down the door of the French embassy in the blink of an eye. He had rushed in to threaten the ambassador, talk to the French presidential palace, and release harsh words to the French cabinet members and countless intelligence department employees.
In the end, he even tore down the embassy without leaving anything behind.
Now, they were saying that French espers did not dare to barge into the Chinese embassy… It made France look weak.
“This is really two different things.” He explained,” Kant is acting privately, while the French espers represent the government. The former is at most a terrorist act, while the latter is equivalent to a declaration of war. Please believe in the power of the Republic. Today’s China will no longer suffer the humiliation of the past.”
The King sneered.” Mr. Ambassador, I trust you and your country, but I don’t trust the French. I don’t believe that the espers they sent would be rational. Besides, there’s no need for the French to come and break into the embassy to capture people. Isn’t there a very useful scapegoat right now? It was even more useful than expired military maps and scapegoats…After that, it’s just a matter of wrangling.”
Ambassador He’s expression changed slightly.
Yeah, Big Bob.
The ambassador paced a few steps on the spot and continued,”How about this? I’ll report it to my country again.”
He hurried back to the telephone room and came out about five minutes later. He smiled at the king and said,” The country has considered this situation. They have already sent professionals. The plane has already taken off.”
The king did not look happy. He sighed softly.
It had already taken off.
It meant that the Chinese government had realized what the French would do.
If even the Chinese had expected it, then how could the United Kingdom, the United States, and even the regional powers that were not part of the five permanent members of the United States, which were allies of the Western world, not know about it?
Their ‘special forces’ were probably already on their way.
Soon, a military observation group that had never been seen before in human history would appear on the land of Comora. A large-scale new conflict might break out here… It happened here.
In this small country in Africa that was unremarkable, suffering, and experienced twists and turns.
He shook hands with the ambassador and left with his blessings and instructions.
Perhaps this was the safest place…But what was the point of hiding here?
He walked out of the door and looked at the clear sky. The people who enjoyed the sunlight did not know that a terrifying dark cloud was about to arrive. The young king could not stop all of this, but at least he could face it with his people.
Then, he waited.
Waiting for hope, waiting for the hope that had already descended, and perhaps would continue again.
He touched the signal device in his pocket. Kant had given it to him. He knew that it could contact Kant, but he did not press it. He did not reveal it to anyone because now was not the time.
Kant said that he would only press it when there was danger or when locusts were approaching.
Then he would press it when the time came.
“Brother, I hope everything goes well on your side.”
Among the busy flights around the world, a few special planes opened up new routes.
In the sky above the South Sea.
Someone looked down through the window with a map.” We’re almost at the border of our country’s territorial waters. Let me check the latitude and longitude. Yes, this is Zengmu Shoal-hey! He’s overseas!”
A few seconds later, the voice shouted again,” Aiyo, I see the territory of Malaysia. It’s so close!”
“Boring.”
A young woman’s voice rang out. The short-haired woman who was resting with her eyes closed opened her eyes.” Hurry up and adjust your state of mind. I’ve just contacted the higher-ups. There might be a battle when the time comes. Don’t make a fuss.”
“I know, I know. Stop chanting.” The man who put down the map had a buzz cut. They all had the temperament of a soldier. Their eyes were sharp and their posture was as calm as a tiger, but they were still humans of flesh and blood.
After he sat down, he clicked his tongue and said,” What a different fate. He’s free and easy, and we train hard. He’s in the limelight, and we hide our identities. He’s free and easy, and we follow the rules. Now he’s so arrogant that he’s picking a fight with the French, and we actually have to clean up his mess.”
This time, the female soldier didn’t say anything.
” Alright, the mission comes first. Besides, you’ve seen the briefing. He was also bullied by the foreigners, so he retaliated. We have to help him.”
The person who ended this topic and complaint was obviously the leader of this group. He looked to be in his thirties and had a mature and steady temperament. He was a classic Chinese combination. He was in his prime, experienced, and mature. He was also a young man with great potential, outstanding performance, and needed to be tempered.
He said,” Our mission is to ensure the safety of the embassy and our compatriots. No matter whose father or whose son it is, they are all Chinese. Protecting our compatriots is our mission. Any objections?”
“No!”
They answered in unison.
The young man who had been complaining just now answered seriously and said in a low voice,” Instructor, I just think that the kid is too arrogant. I don’t even dare to think about barging into the Fabersi embassy. He even claimed to be the strongest esper in the world. Isn’t he just looking for trouble? I want to spar with him when I hear that, let alone a foreigner. Who knows what kind of trouble he might cause…”
“I heard that people from a few countries will appear. Aren’t we a little alone…Don’t glare at me. I’m not afraid, but not being afraid and not caring are two different things. Just because of those crazy words he said, we might all have to suffer. I think he must be responsible for this.”
Under the gaze of the usually dignified instructor, he braced himself and finished his sentence.
The instructor nodded slowly.” Indeed, I have the same opinion. Help is help, and reason is reason. An ordinary young man like him, who accidentally obtained powerful strength, would easily get carried away and forget his surname. In the end, without the constraints of discipline and the guidance of values, it would be easy for him to go astray…We should have absorbed him into the team to train him. Why did we let him run away…”
He shook his head and said,”In short, we just have to do what we have to do.” If you don’t trust the country, fight alone. I hope he can learn a lesson this time.”
Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean…The conversations that took place in the supersonic planes might have been in different languages, but the content was similar. They were all discussions and comments about the crazy behavior of a certain Chinese person.
They were basically all negative.
There were those who mocked, pitied, ridiculed, and disdained Kant. Regardless of race or country, they were basically the same. They all evaluated Kant’s actions as madness and recklessness.
They were even more indignant and disdainful of him claiming to be the “strongest esper in the world”.
Yes, the French only spread the content of this conversation, and the governments of various countries also revealed this to their military observation groups for various reasons.
This kind of disdain and ridicule was not a kind of halo that reduced one’s intelligence, but a kind of mocking physique called ” Chinese “. It was a racial characteristic of the Chinese. As long as one was Chinese, whatever they did would be negatively evaluated by the Western countries. If they did good things, they would be questioned, and if they did bad things, they would be embellished. It was as if bloodline and nationality were sins in themselves.
This phenomenon was not without reason.
The reason was, of course, China itself, and it was due to a shortcoming of China.
Because China was the only non-white permanent member country, a nuclear power, and the world’s second largest economy, its legs were not agile and it could not kneel down… That was all.
Extraordinaires from all over the world flew toward Komoira in supersonic vehicles. They each had their own national missions. Some were purely observing, while others had additional missions. They were all awakened as mortals, so their thoughts were not much different from ordinary humans. They had their own emotions and interests, as well as their own ideas and thoughts…They believed that Moani would be very lively today.
“Kill him.”
“Yes, we want to kill him…Kill Kant.”
The plane that had already crossed the Mediterranean Sea and flew through the airspace of North Africa without any hindrance was naturally a private plane of the Fifth Republic of France. Unlike the supernatural beings of other countries, these supernatural beings from France had the most radical mission and mission…He was fully prepared for this.
” To wash away the shame of the foreign legion, wash away the shame of the Fifth Republic, wash away the shame of the great motherland.”
Sitting in a circle, the bald man in the lead was like a giant bear. His arms were thick, even thicker than an ordinary man’s thigh. His eyes were as fierce as a wolf’s. As he roared fiercely, saliva spurted out from between his teeth and flowed down his mouth. His saliva flew everywhere as he roared in a low voice.
” This person humiliated the glorious foreign legion and blackmailed our motherland. Not long ago, he even broke into our embassy, beat up our soldiers and compatriots, coerced our diplomat, and spoke rudely to our country’s officials and even Mr. President. He made a terrorist threat against Fabixi.”
” He’s a terrorist. Yes, that’s our definition.”
” All countries have the same opinion on how to deal with terrorists. There’s no need to consider human rights, no need for mercy. Killing him is the greatest mercy, a pity for potential innocent victims.”
“So, kill him.”
“Before that, we have to wait for him to appear.”
“This requires a little skill.”
” King of Komoira, Chakat the First. Mr. President specifically named him. He’s also the key to capturing Kang Jinzhu and luring Kant out. We’ll find him first, then his father.”
“The Ministry of National Defense said that someone will create an opportunity for us to capture Kang Jinzhu without having to have a direct conflict with the Chinese…Damn it, we don’t need it. The Chinese broke into our embassy. Are we going to swallow our anger and not respond? Let’s rush in and take his father hostage.”
” This is only the first step. Fabixi will create an opportunity for us. While we are pretending to negotiate, we will launch a sudden attack. We have six extraordinary people who have been specially trained and nurtured, have a bright future, and have endless potential. With the help of brave soldiers, we will gain more honor and respect in this country. We will show Mr. President and the cabinet our victory!”
” If the Chinese are unwilling to compromise, then we don’t need them to compromise. Our friends will help us. We only have one mission, no matter the cost… Kill the Chinese Kant.”
” Our tactical experts have already analyzed Kant’s combat style and abilities. We’ve already discussed it once. Before we reach Komoira, we’ll rehearse it three more times to prevent him from using teleportation to escape and to prevent him from using the ability to destroy objects…We have already prepared for this.”
The bald man subconsciously glanced at the side. Their equipment was placed inside the modified cabin.
The box that could not be closed shone with a cold light. It was the heavy armor and axe.
He then looked around at his companions, his eyes bloodthirsty and excited. Leave him to me! At least leave the last blow for me-I want to chop him up bit by bit!”
[PS 1: 5,000 words…] Sigh, every time he deduced the plot, he felt that he was too kind and soft-hearted.
