Now that he was traveling in the wilderness and was far from human habitation, there was no need to travel at night, especially now that he could cross mountains and ridges at any time. There was no path to take, and the danger factor would greatly increase if he traveled at night.

The Hummer sped across the field.

The obedient child very consciously strengthened the earthquake-proof system of the car, so that it was not too bumpy in the car. Although it was the wilderness, it was comfortable. As a reward, Kang De sat in the front passenger seat and drew new homework for the good child… He would definitely like it.

At this moment, a question sounded from the speaker, “Father, didn’t you say that you wanted to return to Earth?”

Kang De let go of the mouse and stretched. “There’s no hurry.”

He took out the map and glanced at it. “From the map, we can cross the border and enter the Goethe territory this afternoon. I want to understand the situation of the battle first and contact the officials on the Goethe side to ask if they have any channels to send information to Tina…”

Clearly, Tina thought he was already dead.

Moreover, she was very sad.

He could even indirectly understand from the captive’s statement that Tina’s current state was a little strange—it was as if she had turned evil… as if she was still doing big things.

At this moment, he naturally had to think of a way to tell Tina this good news. For example—you didn’t expect this, did you?! Your husband is still alive! Are you surprised? Are you surprised?

Something like that.

“But then again…”

From the Holy Seal Islands to the continent, from their first meeting to making friends, he had been very happy with Tina. That girl was understanding, gentle, and considerate. She was very beautiful. Most importantly, her breasts were huge. Kang De had a good impression of her. Tina was probably the same. The two of them should be good friends.

In fact, Tina was already Kang De’s only friend in the other world.

Of course, those animals were exceptions. Moreover, they were not humans.

Therefore, after experiencing that huge change, he was very happy to be reunited with Tina. The knight was their mutual friend. He and Tina could share the sorrow of losing their best friend, confide in the sorrow of parting, and share the realization of growth… It should have been like this.

However, Kang De heard this news—Tina had announced that she had formed an engagement with him. Although he was already “dead”, the engagement had always been valid. In other words, he had instantly become a dead husband, and Tina was now a widow.

How should he put it…

It sounded like a good thing.

Because he was not dead, it was equivalent to having a gentle and pleasant wife.

However, that was not the case.

This was because Kang De was a good man who lived in the 21st century.

A person like him was knowledgeable and had a lot of life experience. He would definitely not have the illusion that she liked him.

Kang De made a judgment based on his life experience in the past 20 years.

—What a joke. How can there be love at first sight in this world? I didn’t pursue her, nor did I confess. She didn’t show any good impression of me, so how can she like me?

D*mn, that’s a princess from another world. She’s from a noble background and has a good upbringing. She’s so beautiful. What man hasn’t she seen? How can she inexplicably like me in more than ten days? If I’m really so handsome, why haven’t any girls confessed to me in the past 20 years?

Based on this, Kang De began to worry.

In fact, when he had nothing to do, he guessed Tina’s intentions.

—In her opinion, I’m already dead. Therefore, does she have the intention to use me as a shield and decide not to marry for the rest of her life by claiming to be engaged to me?

If that was the case, but he was not dead, would she be very embarrassed when she found out?

What would she do then?

Temporarily stabilize the situation and ask me to cooperate and temporarily be husband and wife in name?

Or would it be half-hearted?

Or rather… cancel the engagement?

With this in mind, Kang De’s body shook.

Moreover, his train of thought quickly went astray.

—If Tina wants to deny this marriage, should I ask her to write an annulment letter? I keep feeling that I can extract relatively terrifying elements from this annulment letter…

If he enchanted this element on himself, he felt that something very impressive would happen.

“Ah…”

Kang De sighed, “How troublesome…”

When the Autobot heard this, he asked with concern, “Father, what are you worried about?”

Kang De looked into the distance and said, “I’m vexed about whether I should marry into the family or end the engagement.”

What a joke. How could Tina really treat him as her husband? He had not done anything for her.

The child said, “I don’t understand.”

Kang De sneered, “Hmph, how can a brat like you understand relationships?”

“I’m a mechanical life form, so I naturally don’t understand human emotions,” the Autobot said frankly. “However, I feel that Father doesn’t seem to understand either.”

Kang De said angrily, “Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t! I don’t understand? What a joke. Do you know how many love letters I’ve received since I was young? It’ll scare you to death if I tell you!”

The Autobot was intimidated—or rather, it felt the exasperation in its father’s tone. Out of its understanding of the creator, it wisely decided to shut up. “I’m sorry, Father. I was wrong.”

Kang De snorted twice, but he still smiled sinisterly in his mind—this kid had too much free time.

He said calmly, “Cut the crap. In short, let’s hurry on our way and reach the border in the afternoon. Then, we’ll go to this Empire city called Nu… Nu…”

Kang De looked at the place name on the map that looked like alien words and rolled his eyes.

“Tsk, I can’t read…”

He waved his hand fiercely, “In short, it’s this stupid city. When we reach the border, let’s not go to Goethe first and ask around in this city. For example, who’s the Eldest Prince’s lackey, which nobles are greedy, and so on—we have to do something!”

This was because Kang De needed money.

Buying a house required a lot of money.

Although he had the three worlds and could completely be the boss, what Kang De lacked the most now was time. Moreover, the surrounding environment was not suitable for doing business… Under such circumstances, the fastest way to earn money without attracting too much attention was to sell precious metals.

In other words, gold.

He would turn the gold coins of the other world into patterns and melt them into pure gold. Then, he would bring them to Earth and think of a way to sell them. Although Kang De did not have gold, he could borrow it.

The Autobot said in confusion, “Doing something means…”

Kang De’s eyes did not blink as he replied calmly, “It refers to an act of wealth redistribution. These fat nobles and businessmen collect taxes and hire workers, causing the farmers and workers to work all day long, but they snatch away most of their gains through various methods and accumulate a huge amount of wealth. Such an act is naturally very unfair, so the righteous us can take away their ill-gotten wealth…”

The Autobot listened for a while and said silently, “But, Father, you want me to enchant and process all day…”

When Kang De heard this, he leaned back in his chair and said weakly, “It’s the opposite, the opposite. My child actually said that I exploited him. It’s really the opposite! Poor me. I fed him, clothed him, taught him knowledge, and gave him work. I only asked him to share some burden, but he complained about this and that…”

“…Father, I was wrong.”

“That’s right!” Kang De was revived. He stood up and patted the steering wheel. “You’re fussing about this and that with your family all day. This behavior is wrong! Can you recognize it? How can helping your family be called exploitation? This is called support.”

“Let me tell you, our Kang family obeys the law. We’re all good citizens and all of us befriend good people. Be it internal or external, we won’t do anything to exploit!”

“Internally, we help each other. To the outside world, we provide jobs and let people have the chance to pursue happiness. We never do anything bad. We definitely won’t rob. We’ll only redistribute wealth in this unfair world and punish the immoral people—understand?”

The Autobot was silent for a moment before saying, “…I understand.”

However, he was a little puzzled.

He felt that his father’s words and actions were more like the… double standard dog he used to mock and disdain.

“You don’t understand…”

Kang De said faintly, “Child, let me tell you some principles of life… A year ago, I was a good citizen who followed the law. I was very upright, kind, and simple. I thought that I was a good person who followed morals and did not do anything bad. I was proud of this. Tell me at that time that I would one day rob, kill, and commit arson. I would definitely scoff and think that you were joking.”

“About ten to twenty days ago, in a place called Glory Sand, I did many bad things that I did not dare to imagine in the past and carried out a robbery. Do you know what I felt afterward?”

—He said it, he directly said the word robbery!

The Autobot retorted in his mind.

However, the speaker sounded, “…How you felt? Did you regret it?”

“No, I won’t regret what I did in Glory Sand for the rest of my life.”

“What’s that?”

Kang De said seriously, “It felt good.”

“…”

The young and simple child could not understand.

“It felt awesome!”

When Kang De spoke of the past that was not too far away, he still slapped his thigh, “F*ck, really, especially when the person is very evil. He’s your enemy and is very rich. The pleasure of robbery has simply doubled. Think about it, this bastard has painstakingly saved up by exploiting farmers. He has done so many evil things, but you swept away all his wealth overnight. This pleasure of obtaining something without working, coupled with the pleasure of taking revenge, is simply euphoric!”

The Autobot muttered, “Is… is that so…”

Kang De nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, so I said that you don’t understand. When you experience it yourself, you’ll also say that it feels really good… really…”

The child did not understand, but he felt that it was impressive.

He felt that he had indeed learned many things from his father in the past few days…
