King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Iblis listened, nodded, and said: "In Central Africa, it's almost impossible to defeat P.B. That Hu Lang is a war-loving madman, but he never fights without preparation.

I don't know if I can win, nor if I can find the chance to kill that bastard.

I can wait, but waiting alone is unbearably painful.

I need partners who share the same goal!"

As he spoke, Iblis extended his left hand toward Aiden and said, "Will you be my partner?"

Aiden saw the fanaticism in Iblis's eyes, reluctantly extended his hand to shake with Iblis, and said, "The Armor Group has stirred up a hornet's nest. Find a way to send me back to England, and I can find some suitable manpower.

One or two mercenary groups in Africa make no sense. We need to establish our own company and then seek external support.

As long as P.B. encounters a tough opponent someday, we'll have a chance!"

After saying this, Aiden lay weakly on the floor, letting out painful moans...

"Give me another shot of morphine, I feel I'm about to collapse..."

Iblis fulfilled Aiden's request and then smiled and said, "Think about your plight; hatred always invigorates the spirit!"

................

Joe Ga didn't know there were two people simmering with hatred, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care much.

Too many people want him dead in this world, and in terms of hierarchy, Iblis and Aiden don't even rank.

Boss Joe rented an entire floor of a hotel across from the courtroom, lying on the balcony, watching the commotion below...

With Tony's help, the Congo court erected a white curtain in front of the courthouse, and the video recordings of Benjamin and others' confessions repeatedly projected on the left side of the curtain.

Because these are edited versions, the compilation of confessions makes people easily think of words like 'evil,' 'enslavement,' 'tyranny,' and other negative terms.

Few paid attention to the broadcast of the trial on the right side of the curtain...

Only when the Congo Supreme Court judge, with a fleshy face, pretended to be refined by wearing glasses and struck the hammer, did cheers arise outside.

Joe Ga was not interested in these confessions; he was interested in the trial...

Despite the chaotic fight yesterday, today's trial appeared quite formal.

The embassies of America, France, China, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Italy all sent people to observe, intending to supervise Congo against legal misapplication.

Kabila arranged defense lawyers for all the captives, and then himself served as the prosecutor, issuing accusations against a series of companies and individuals on the court.

Benjamin, being the most cooperative captive, didn't even get a chance to defend himself in court; his defense lawyer announced his guilty plea after the confession video finished playing and submitted a confession form Benjamin didn't even know when he signed...

Then the eagerly awaiting judge swung the hammer with a 'bang,' announcing Benjamin's life imprisonment, with no possibility of parole.

'Parole' was just jargon for those observing...

English folks stuck in the embassy couldn't attend in person and sent people in solidarity to ensure Congo didn't misbehave.

Not being sentenced to death was enough; they didn't care how long Benjamin and the others would survive in Congo prison...

Rumor has it that the rats there live shorter lives than those outside!

There was no such thing as alleviative court debate, all the way it was Kabila cursing at the captives, and these captives admitting guilt like quails...

Finally, when Joseph from the International Health Organization took the stand, the situation changed a bit...

This guy, upon entering the court, shouted injustice to the observers...

But it was to no avail; when his confession video and statements were brought out, the judge struck the bench, announcing his sentence doubled for showing disrespect.

Joe Ga didn't understand the significance of doubling a life sentence, but still admired the judge's courage.

The observers, upon seeing Joseph's confession video, caused an uproar, then incessantly began making calls to the outside world.

Joe Galla lit the fuse just to provoke a fight...

But this is the real beginning of the storm!

Deploying the virus and bribing members of the International Health Organization, attempting to use the virus as a pretext to blockade Central Africa, is beyond simple malignancy.

Pharmaceutical companies conducting human experiments is no secret; once heard, people laugh it off.

But now this matter exceeds the scope of business; when the virus is used as a weapon against opponents, no one is insulated!

Those present are all politicians; they know what kind of interest struggle lies behind this.

If today they remain silent, tomorrow someone might emulate the strategy and poison their homes then blockade them, leaving no one to speak for them.

An 'endemic' label causes an incomparably huge loss!

This is like Pandora's box; once opened, no one knows its impact.

Thus, heavy blows must be dealt; the initial aggressors must be hammered down...

Hammering alone isn't enough; the opponent must be vilified for ages to warn posterity.

This isn't just one person's affair; allowing such an occurrence is irresponsibility for oneself, especially for smaller nations...

Therefore, Europe's small nations react particularly intensely to this!

Just as Joe Ga casually watched the spectacle, chuckling, while having Tony post the on-site happenings online, the hotel room door was knocked...

Dorian, upon opening the door, discovered a familiar face, consulted with the boss for approval, and let them in.

'Knight' awkwardly smiled at Boss Joe upon entering, then promptly moved behind the elderly Claverley...

Claverley displayed considerable courtesy, stepped forward, shook hands with the frowning Boss Joe, and said: "Hu Lang, you've won; now we need to talk...

I need to know how many lives it will take to calm this matter down?

Or tell me what we must sacrifice to extricate England from this damn situation.

In exchange, I can share details about Barclay's Assets Management Company and the people behind it..."

Claverley then, with unprecedented solemnity, looked at Joe Ga and said: "Hu Lang, you probably don't know how powerful your enemies truly are!

If you want to win, you need our help!

Our only condition is controlling the scope of the attack!

We are willing to pay the price for the mistakes we made but won't admit fault for things we didn't do!"

Joe Ga looked at this elderly man before him, smiled, and said: "Irrelevant? Is the spread of Marburg virus inside the British embassy fake?"

Claverley gazed into Joe Ga's eyes and said in a grave tone: "Ambassador John passed away last night due to a sudden heart attack...

He left behind a will expressing guilt for being coerced into participating in a horrifying poisoning incident.

Although they weren't the masterminds, the John family will nonetheless compensate for the damages the virus caused to Congo!"

Joe Ga sensed a resolve in Claverley akin to sacrificing a part to save the whole; this is a true veteran politician, admitting fallacies and steadfastly negotiating without resorting to subterfuge!

Seeing the determination in the elderly man's eyes, Joe Ga stroked his chin and said: "Let's chat, I also want to know what exactly the so-called Barclay's Assets Management Company is about.

I checked them out; it's merely a company managing assets under 4 billion British pounds.

What sort of power do they possess?"

Claverley laughed upon hearing this, said: "This small company you mention packaged and acquired the debts of several small African nations, then through debt restructuring, usurped their electricity, transportation, food production projects...

Hu Lang, this is the current game rule...

Your opponent excels at this!"

Joe Ga said incredulously: "Is that even possible?"
