344 Lie
“What are you doing?! D*mn it! You’ve messed things up! Merde! B*stard! Answer my question! I only asked you to throw two mortars at the French Embassy! I didn’t ask you to destroy the city with white phosphorus bombs!”
This roar sounded from the phone.
There was also intense breathing.
Big Bob’s voice had never been so stern and furious.
!!
If it was any other time, even if he had long gotten married and taken over his father’s career, if Little Bob heard his father being so angry, he would probably immediately apologize in fear, admit his mistake, and panic.
However, he would not do that now.
Holding the suitcase, Little Bob held his phone in his other hand and listened to his father’s roar. A twisted smile appeared on his lips. He looked at the real-time scene in the electronic room. Part of it had been disconnected, and the rest was aimed at the fixed scene. They were all smashed cars.
Another portion was ingested by the eagle flying in the sky of Moroni.
In the recording sent back earlier, he saw a huge rolling and colliding copper ball.
They were too similar.
That pattern, that color, that luster.
The expression on his face gradually twisted, stiffened, and even became strange.
“Father.”
Little Bob’s voice became very strange.
In his anger, Big Bob did not notice these subtle abnormalities. He panted heavily and said coldly, “I’ll immediately fly to Senegal and go to Gambia. I’ll settle the score with a b*stard like you later. Now, quickly make up for your mistake and push this matter to that Chinese person! Has the recording been completed? Transmit it to me immediately. I’ll transfer it to the government and negotiate a good price with them. You…”
“—No.” Little Bob said.
“What… what did you say?”
“I said, no.”
Little Bob’s gaze stared straight at the eagle, then the figure that flashed in the sky. A strange light appeared in his eyes as he muttered, “No, it said no.”
“I can’t do this. I can’t destroy him. I have to wait for him. When he comes…”
“He’s… a container…”
“Perfect…”
Big Bob’s furious voice sounded, “What did you say? What’s wrong?”
The call was hung up and the phone was thrown aside.
Little Bob did not care about everything anymore. He only stared at the screen without moving.
Everyone in the electronic room did the same.
He was like a puppet on a string.
About ten minutes later, chaotic footsteps sounded from outside. The door was kicked open and several mercenaries rushed in with rifles. They pointed at everyone in the house and shouted, “Hands on your heads! Get down! Get down! All of you! Let us see your hands! Little Bob Burroughs! On your father’s orders, I’ll strip you of your battlefield command! I’m ordered to detain you! Then escort you to Gambia! You…”
Little Bob slowly turned.
The mercenary was shocked. He raised his gun and aimed it at him, his tone softening, “Boss, you’ve crossed the line. Even the worst wars won’t target civilians… Stop resisting.”
A strange smile appeared on Little Bob’s pale face.
His hand hooked gently and with a crack, the box in his hand was opened. The lid bounced off and something rolled out of the box. It rumbled softly and rolled past everyone’s feet.
With the attainments of these warriors, they should shout for a grenade and rush out of the room.
However, they did not.
The rolling sound attracted everyone’s attention and made them look down.
A golden ball rolled on the ground, drawing a stream of light.
Then, light filled the room.
Capital of Comoros, Moroni.
Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Comoros.
On the third floor, in the communication room guarded by the armed police, Kang Jinzhu’s voice was calm and steady.
He was talking to someone he could not say his name.
“…Yes, that’s it.”
“That’s a glowing golden ball…”
“King Comoros said that that’s the holy token of the ancient kingdom…”
His voice sounded intermittently.
“If Little Bob Bull obtains it, I don’t know what he wants to use it for…”
“Yes… yes…”
“That’s about it. I drew it. The three views are like this. The patterns on the ball…”
“Also…”
The voice paused for a moment, then continued.
“My son… he’s different.”
“I think it’s probably the memorial I brought back from Comoros last year that caused him to change like this. That’s why he came to Africa alone and displayed extraordinary physical fitness.”
“He said that after he went to the king’s mausoleum, he discovered something and his strength became stronger…”
“For example, a golden eagle chased after him…”
...
“Memorial? It’s a fragment of a bronze artifact. I used it to make a talisman and gave it to my son. When I returned to the country, I declared it at customs. Now, he has it with him.”
“Yeah.”
“I don’t have any other requests. I only hope that he can be safe. If he wants to contribute to the country, I don’t object. The most important thing is now.”
“He’s outside. We saw him when we entered the city. He’s putting out the fire everywhere and riding that eagle.”
“There’s no recording, but the embassy and the people in the city should be able to testify.”
“Yes…”
“I know, but I’m afraid I can’t stop him, and I don’t want to.”
“Even if it’s a Comorian, a black, or an African, he’ll save them. This has nothing to do with him, but saving people has nothing to do with other interests and entanglements.”
“I taught him this. He’s my son. He’s doing something I’m proud of.”
“Yes, there’s no problem. Thank you for your praise. This is human nature.”
“Yes, we’ve believed in the country from the beginning to the end.”
...
“Goodbye.”
The call that belonged to Kang Jinzhu came to an end. He pushed open the door and came to the corridor. He looked at the armed police warriors on guard in the distance and nodded in greeting. Then, he looked at the sky where the smoke was still surging.
He slowly exhaled.
From the outside to the city, the time was not long or short. It was enough to reach an agreement with Chakat II and unify the caliber.
The information provided by the king and the secrets of the royal family, the things discovered in the king’s mausoleum, Little Bob’s plan, the conspiracy of the French government, and… Kang De’s abnormal actions.
This was enough for him to deduce many things.
Then, he created a reasonable explanation for his son.
There were also excuses and plans that could allow his son to leave the center of the storm for a short period of time.
He had talked to that important figure whose name he could not say for a long time. This consumed a large amount of his energy. He had never been so nervous in his life or thought at such a high speed. He read much potential information and deduced a terrifying and real… outline of the world.
Looking out of the window from here, he could even see a huge eagle soaring in the sky. Such a magical thing had completely appeared in public. There had to be a reasonable explanation. He had also encountered mercenaries earlier and heard that the unstoppable metal ball was actually a little similar to the golden ball he had found in the mausoleum.
Was this a coincidence?
Kang Jinzhu did not know, but this did not stop him from using the legend of Comoros and the testimony of the king to provide a reasonable explanation for his son’s power awakening and not be investigated.
This was because, from his son’s words, attitude, and performance, the source of his endless terrifying strength and countless methods might be extremely impressive…
—Kang De, what dangerous things have you experienced?
He looked at the flickering shadows and huge eagles flapping their wings in the distance outside the window. He pursed his lips and secretly clenched his fists. Kang Jinzhu wished he could go there immediately, but he knew that the danger of Moroni had not dissipated. The embassy was the safest place… Before the country had clear news and instructions, he could not do anything rash.
At this moment, the door opened.
The ambassador walked out. It was an order that only the ambassador could listen to. The two of them looked at each other and reached out at the same time to shake it. Ambassador He slowly exhaled.
“Old Kang,” he said, “I have to thank you. At my level, I shouldn’t have known about such a thing.”
Kang Jinzhu’s expression was serious as he said in a low voice, “Humans are not lonely, right?”
The ambassador smiled bitterly and patted Kang Jinzhu’s shoulder. “I’m really envious that you have such a son.”
Father Kang said softly, “I’d rather he was an ordinary person.”
“He still is.”
The ambassador came to the window and looked at the city filled with black smoke. “The strongest countries in this world will wipe his butt together and come up with a reasonable explanation to make him still look like an ordinary person.”
He turned to look at Kang Jinzhu and smiled, “However, I’m afraid he’s going to be popular.”
Kang Jinzhu asked in confusion, “What?”
“You might not know…” The ambassador sighed and did not want to talk further, “You’ll know when you return to the country… Fortunately, this is a small country. Fortunately, this is Comoros.”
He said to the armed police, “Find Major Liang!”
“Yes!”
A few minutes later, the armed police officers finished lining up and the car with the flag pattern and red flag slowly drove out. Major Liang looked to the left in the car. In front of the embassy of his distant neighbor, King Chakat II was facing and talking to a white man in a suit and leather shoes outside. When he saw that a convoy had already driven out from the Chinese side, the king was very excited. Then, he pointed his middle finger at the other party’s diplomat.
He could vaguely hear the other party’s extremely strong mockery, “Continue to wait, continue to delay, and continue to pretend not to see. You’re too slow. You’re finished. You’re going to be replaced by China!”
Then, he threw the other party on the spot and ran over with his head held high.
“Mr. King.”
Major Liang glanced at his exasperated peer in the distance and smiled, “Want a ride?”
“Thank you for your help, Chinese friends. From today onwards, those white men from the West are only worthy of eating farts in Comoros. I guarantee you that I’ll be your eternal friend.”
Chakat II shook hands with Major Liang. He was enthusiastic and his face was sincere. He was very happy to be invited by the other party and said many beautiful words of gratitude.
Then, he ran to Kang Jinzhu’s car.
