Chapter 120 - Little Master

“Honorable alchemist.”

The most humble and sincere suggestion and plea.

He was very polite.

After saying that, the other party’s attitude could be said to be quite polite.

Kang De slowly inhaled.

A trace of gloominess flashed through his eyes.

However, if attitude and words could explain everything, the trip to Glory Sand would be happy and calm, because Samuel, Hannah, and Lynch’s attitudes were also very polite.

This did not prevent a dirty and ugly soul from hiding under a dignified and noble appearance.

Therefore, to Kang De, the other party’s attitude and words were not important.

Most importantly, the other party had appeared at this place at this time and stood in front of him.

This meant that his whereabouts had already been noticed by someone with ill intentions.

If the first appeared, there would be a second.

Perhaps this person only wanted to buy a car, but what about the next…

Moreover, the motive of this person was uncertain…

Kang De stepped on the accelerator and moved his fingers on the steering wheel. His gaze swept across the car seat. All kinds of weapons and equipment were in a state where they could be used at any time.

His transmigration ability could be immediately activated to provide him with a temporary shelter in another world. If the situation was extremely urgent, he could even directly return to Earth and use the high time flow ratio to stay on Earth for a day before returning. In the wilderness, no enemy would wait blankly for a few days because no one knew where Kang De had teleported to.

It was foolproof.

Kang De stepped on the accelerator and the Hummer roared like a wild beast.

This was an ultimatum.

“No.”

He turned on the loudspeaker installed in the car and said, “Disappear from my sight immediately.”

Not to mention that he had added all kinds of enchantment modifications to this Hummer and that it was operating well in the other world with terrible road conditions, for the time being, it did not matter if the vehicle containing Earth’s technology and mechanical principles could easily be handed over to the otherworlders.

There was actually only one reason for Kang De’s rejection.

—Who has the time to argue with you now?

His rough and decisive rejection did not make the old butler feel embarrassed.

He only smiled apologetically and bowed again, “It seems that my sudden appearance has caused your dissatisfaction. Please forgive me for my offense, Master Alchemist. My master is very sincere and doesn’t have any ill intentions. If your carriage has an extraordinary meaning to you, is my little master lucky enough to order your next work? Or an equally exquisite and outstanding work…”

The old butler said sincerely, “My little master has a natural love and fascination for machinery. Any alchemist who has considerable attainments in the field of mechanical engineering will be treated and respected by the Vidal family. If you have any trouble or requests, the Vidal family can resolve it for you…”

He did not finish his sentence.

This was because what replied to him was a low roar like a wild beast. The alchemical mechanical product that could drive on its own and stay up all night suddenly surged and activated, colliding with him!

The old butler dodged to the left and passed the Hummer. Through the side window, he saw Kang De’s eyes and his gesture—a thumb across his throat.

It was a cold and decisive warning that contained killing intent.

The meaning of that gesture was obvious.

—If you appear in front of me again, I’ll kill you.

The old butler smelled the strange smell of exhaust gas. The Hummer had already taken the road. He saw the red light of the taillight, conspicuous and evil in the night.

Then, the old man realized what had happened.

He could not help but feel angry.

He had worked in the Vidal family for many years. Although he was a butler, he was actually already a powerful figure that the family trusted and relied on. Usually, when he welcomed and sent people back, even when they met and negotiated, the various people he saw were all polite to him. For example, tonight, he came with kindness and friendliness. Not only did the other party reject him, he even threatened him with death after saying a few more words…

It had really been a long time.

However, in the next moment, the old butler suppressed his anger.

He was only a servant and could have his own emotions, but he could not let this affect his mission and his master’s matters.

“Negotiation failed…”

He sighed and muttered, “I didn’t expect him to be so wary…”

The old butler was silent for a moment before turning to leave, “I have to report this…”

His figure quickly disappeared into the night.

What the old butler did not know was that not long after, Kang De’s figure appeared from the darkness and coldly stared at the empty col.

“…I thought the little master he mentioned would come here to check the traces.”

He adjusted the thing on his back.

It was a super explosive gas tank.

The old butler should be glad. If Kang De had agreed to meet his little master here, as long as they said something they should not have and angered him, then…

Kang De touched his chin and pondered, “I can’t catch up, but if the little master he mentioned has ulterior motives, he’ll most likely advance from here to pursue. If I set a trap and ambush by the roadside…”

He calculated for a moment and finally shook his head to reject this thought.

“It’s a waste of time. There’s no need. Moreover, the other party is not a friend or foe. I’m not at the point where I don’t hesitate to kill without judgment. I’m not crazy to this extent.”

“The most important thing now is to leave the Empire’s territory and enter the border of Goethe.”

He turned around with the gas tank and weapon on his back and ran towards the hidden Hummer parked not far away. He had only casually used this move just now. So be it if nothing happened.

“If they really have evil intentions, someone will come to find me next.”

Kang De got into the car, twisted the key, and started the engine.

This Hummer was really not bad. It had been carefully enchanted and strengthened both inside and outside. It was only defensive. From fire control to toughness, its protective performance was extremely powerful. It would be a divine artifact on Earth.

“There’s only one weapon station left…”

Kang De stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away.

“When I’m free, I’ll think of a way to increase my basic combat strength and collect some useful enchanted equipment. Then…”

He thought happily, “I’ll fly overseas and go to those dangerous war zones to ask the gun lords of America for help. In any case, they helped us decades ago. Now, it’s a good time… They’re probably tired of fighting aliens all day. It’s good for me to borrow your equipment to fight the people of the other world.”

At the same time, the travel-worn old butler rushed to a small camp that had been set up.

“Failed?”

A shocked question sounded from the main tent.

The old butler bowed even lower. “I’m very sorry.”

Then, he heard footsteps.

The old butler took a light breath, but he could still smell a faint fragrance. His lowered gaze first saw the brown deer boots, then the round thigh wrapped in pants. The young miss of the Vidal family he served walked up to him.

“—That’s f*cking awesome.”

He heard his little master say this.

Then, there was a series of questions.

“You weren’t arrogant, right? I told you to talk to him properly, right? Where did you go? Did your negotiation fail? Tell me from the beginning to the end.”

The old butler bowed and answered.

He told everything to his little master.

In the end, he came to a conclusion and explained his failure.

“Miss, the other party’s vigilance is beyond expectations. I don’t doubt the authenticity of his last death threat at all, especially his gaze, it’s like…”

The girl from the Vidal family said, “It’s like thinking about how to cut you open with an axe if you become enemies with him the next time we meet, right?”

“…” The old butler recalled Kang De’s gaze and felt that it was really similar.

—However… Miss, how did you know?

“Are you wondering why I know?”

The girl’s voice was faint, even hiding a trace of resentment and displeasure.

“Because the last time I went to see Tina, that girl also put on such an expression in the end. She chuckled when talking about business, money, and serious matters. When we talked about other things, she started to reject people.”

She said, “D*mn, as expected of the lover she chose. This Cathayan’s temper is actually identical to hers. Moreover, he was most likely provoked by the Goode family and became a fierce man with an explosive hobby. D*mn, why did Tina encounter such an amazing man?”

At this point, it seemed to have triggered something unhappy. The girl paced a few steps on the spot and scratched her head. Her beautiful silver hair scattered a little.

Her tone was a little crazy. “F*ck, I’m angry just thinking about it. Tina was a stupid b*tch who only knew how to cry. I looked down on her attitude of daydreaming all day. Now, she’s to my liking. I want to be friends with her, but she looks down on me. D*mn.”

The girl spat on the ground. “It’s all because of that b*tch Hannah. She betrayed Tina, causing her to not even believe me. F*ck, who in the entire Empire doesn’t know that I, Leona Vidal, am the most loyal friend?”

These words became more and more impudent. The old butler kept his head lowered and pretended not to hear anything.

In any case, Miss was like this… The old master and the young master could not control her.

However, as the butler, he had an obligation to stop his little master at some point and say less shameful words.

Therefore, the old butler said softly, “Miss, what should we do now?”

“How would I know what to do?”

Leona hugged her head and shouted.

“I keep feeling that Tina is walking a tightrope. I want to persuade her but she doesn’t believe me.”

“It wasn’t easy to receive information that someone had discovered a very strange four-wheeled alchemical vehicle. I feel that this news is very familiar. It’s very similar to the thing that that ferocious man from Cathay used. Moreover, after careful investigation and judgment, we’ve basically locked onto the other party’s identity. We’re preparing to contact him to gain his trust and explain the situation. Let him help persuade Tina.”

“I didn’t expect this person’s temper to be the same as Tina’s. He doesn’t care about us at all.”

She stomped her feet and shouted, “What can I do? Should I directly run over and tell him? I don’t want to face such a dangerous man face to face. If we don’t agree, what if he cuts me open with his axe?”

The old butler tried to suggest, “If we’re honest…”

Leona looked at him as if he were a fool.

“Butler, you’re old. Eat something good to nourish your brain.”

She said earnestly, “You haven’t said anything. You only want to buy his car and even expressed your kindness. Did he care about you? I think he really suffered badly in the Goode family, so no matter which Empire’s noble it is, they look like enemies now, although he’s indeed right.”

“Look, just saying these harmless words makes him want to kill you.”

“If you run to him and say, Hey, fierce man, I know your name is Kang De. I don’t have any ill intentions towards the person who killed and set fire to people in Glory Sand. I’m here to be friends with you—do you think he’ll smile and shake your hand or cut you open without a word?”

“…”

The butler thought for a moment and felt that the second possibility was more likely.

Leona was about to speak when an urgent voice sounded outside.

“Miss, a secret report!”

The girl opened the urgent letter and looked at it. Her expression changed.

She slapped her head and gritted her teeth. “D*mn, what I was afraid of happened. Alex’s people discovered him!”
