King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1834 - 1514: Formidable Opponent

Joe Ga never expected to encounter such a situation in a place like this...

Michael Johnson is considered a somewhat famous congressman, although his notoriety is not due to any great ability or power. In fact, the reason this law-studying congressman is remembered is because of his relentless push to investigate Speaker Lopesi...

The reason being that the old lady got caught tearing a document in front of everyone after Big Mouth Tang's speech.

Theoretically, the crime of 'destroying confidential documents' carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, but everyone knows that it's impossible to send the Speaker to jail just for tearing up a document.

Back then, Big Mouth Tang and Lopesi, representing the Democratic Party's interests, were at each other's throats. Now, even after Big Mouth Tang has been out of office for half a year, Michael Johnson is still pursing this matter.

In Joe Ga's view, this is a way to raise one's profile within the party, unlikely to yield results, yet extremely effective!

Especially given the upcoming midterm elections, Michael's approach is actually undermining the Democratic Party's reputation.

Lopesi and her Capitol Hill stock genius husband have hit rock bottom in terms of public opinion, partly thanks to Michael Johnson.

This guy's willingness to take on such dirty work means he isn't an important figure in any clique; he's doing this to break into the Republican Party's core circle, and seemingly he's chosen to align himself with Big Mouth Tang.

The most interesting part is, while seemingly defending Big Mouth Tang, he can always change his stance to claim he's upholding the Constitution's dignity. This gives him ample maneuvering room once he's gotten what he wants.

Such a smart man, coupled with a wife from a media giant family, is bound for success.

Of course, Nancy's relationship with the Cox family is likely not as close as it appears, since it's no news the Cox family supports the Democrats.

But that's not a big problem; when someone's influence reaches a certain level, the Cox family surely won't hold back on giving a boost.

The influence Michael Johnson seeks is hard for him, even forcing him to do dirty work to gain merit within the party...

But for Boss Joe, it's not too difficult!

In the past, Joe Ga hadn't had the chance or focus to nurture relationships on Capitol Hill.

But now that the opportunity has arisen, he's certainly going to pull Michael Johnson over for a visit to Republican bigwig Tom Reed, letting him know there's no need to hang himself on Big Mouth Tang's tree.

Moreover, the Federal Reserve Bank's vault issue needs someone with some heft to bring it up...

A law-studying congressman is bound to propose a bill that leaves everyone speechless.

What's most interesting is, even though Democrats know Michael Johnson is targeting them, they have to hold their breath and push the bill through...

Because they indeed didn't do it!

As Joe Ga was climbing the stairs, he felt more and more delighted, even letting out a laugh...

Dorian, upon reaching the sixth-floor security door, glanced back at the somewhat absent-minded Boss Joe and said, "Boss, you're not in good shape now. How about you move to the back and let us handle the hitmen inside..."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga snickered and gripped his rifle, saying, "Even drunk, I shoot better than you…

Don't worry, I'm just really happy..."

Dorian, sticking to the side of the security door, carefully grabbed the doorknob, trying to push the door open just a crack...

"What's so exciting about meeting a woman?"

Saying this, Dorian tilted his head, simultaneously signaling Ronnie about a booby-trapped flashbang by the door, while retreating a few meters...

"That woman is blind to not recognize Elephant himself..."

Joe Ga watched as Ronnie took out a pair of pincers, cautiously approaching, making way with a grin as he said, "Elephant, your boss, Knight Joe, is an idol of women worldwide. Compared to me, you're still far off."

Dorian didn't argue upon hearing this. He watched as Ronnie carefully dismantled the trap flashbang, just about to alert others to be cautious when suddenly, a loud noise erupted from the other security door on the sixth floor...

"Shit, 'Jackal,' what's happening over there?"

Dorian shouted as he kicked open the security door, rushing into the hallway, aiming his gun at the target apartment's door, firing several shots to force a guy attempting to check the situation back inside...

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, creating messy holes on the apartment door as retaliation from inside commenced...

Barrage of bullets forced Dorian to crumple on the ground, while Ayu charged toward Dorian with a shield, establishing cover with it, then mounted a makeshift RPK on the shield, and pulled the trigger toward the door not far away...

The drum magazine's suppressive fire was more than enough for the enemy inside...

Especially when Rhino also approached with another shield, establishing solid cover, triggering both RPKs simultaneously, quickly silencing the return fire from the apartment.

As the opponents ceased firing, Joe Ga dashed to Ayu's side, helping establish cover, then yelled to 'Dart' behind him, "'Dart,' bring your people up, we'll cover you..."

'Dart' heard the order, patted Depp's side, then both led a teammate carefully along the corridor's sides to the apartment's door...

Once 'Dart' and his team were in place, Joe Ga activated his communicator and said, "'Jackal,' how's it going over there?"

On the other side, 'Jackal' looked dismayed at two teammates barely able to stand due to flashbang impact and said helplessly, "Boss, two guys took a Level One shock hit, we're fine, be careful.

Those hitmen are crafty; I'll block the fire escape, they won't escape..."

Joe Ga released a slight sigh of relief, saying, "'Iceman,' it's your turn now, suppress them..."

Just as Joe Ga finished speaking, a grenade shot from the opposite building pierced through the target apartment window, detonating in the room.

A loud "boom" startled Joe Ga and the others outside the door...

Just as Joe Ga was about to ask what happened, a series of explosions from inside the room and continuous machine gun fire made him realize something...

The psychopaths of Team E not only have anti-material weapons, but damn sniper grenades.

Blasting a room with grenade launchers from over 400 meters away, plus the cooperation of two 7.62mm machine guns...

Joe Ga couldn't bear to think about the grim fate of those killers inside. He gestured to 'Dart' and then slapped Ayu's shoulder hard, shouting: "King Kong, we're going in too..."

A guy behind 'Dart', as Boss Joe and the others advanced slowly, raised his Remington and shot continuously at the door's hinges...

Then 'Dart', leaning against the door, swung his left leg and forcefully kicked the door open...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Ayu and Rhino's two machine guns simultaneously opened fire...

The intense suppressive fire left the people inside the apartment completely powerless...

Even if it were Rambo in there under such a two-sided attack, he'd have to find a safe corner and quietly hide, then decide how best to surrender once the opponent entered.

However, P.B. personnel generally wouldn't engage in high casualty ratio CQB unless necessary.

When confirming the enemy was suppressed, 'Dart' and the others at the sides of the door first tossed four flashbang grenades inside, then honestly donned their gas masks...

Joe Ga and Dorian grinned, pulled out four gas grenades and threw them in...

Their killers might be very skilled, but the reality is that against opponents who disregard martial ethics, personal ability sometimes proves pointless.

Just as Boss Joe felt assured of victory, an RPG hit the floor where 'Iceman' and the others were...

The rocket's accuracy wasn't great, resulting in an explosion on the building's exterior wall...

Scattered fragments and car alarms around the area created chaos on the street.

"What happened?"

Joe Ga loudly asked, and 'Iceman' replied with a cough: "It's those Haredi people, shit, these guys have gone mad, they're attacking us...

No, someone is attacking them, and they retaliated...

Shit, how are the Haredi people carrying guns?

Boss, something's not right, those killers weren't unprepared..."

During 'Iceman's' speech, the door of another apartment behind Joe Ga and the others was pushed open...

Two smoke grenades rolled out...

"Ssss..."

As smoke from the grenades filled the corridor, visibility in this narrow space dropped to its lowest level...

A figure appeared in Joe Ga's tactical eyeglasses, and he instinctively drew his pistol...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The Super Jaguar released all its power in Joe Ga's hands...

But what baffled Joe Ga was that the bullets hit his opponent, forcing him into a messy retreat, yet failed to kill him...

Joe Ga rarely missed, but this opponent was clearly different from soldiers...

"Attention, the opponent has a bulletproof vest..."

As Joe Ga shouted, he resumed firing...

"Bang bang bang"

The bullets chased the opponent's silhouette, embedding into the wall at the end of the corridor...

Seeing Boss Joe wanted to turn around and pursue, Ronnie reached out to stop the boss's intention...

"I'll go..."

With that, Ronnie bent low and darted out...

But as he passed the room where the figure appeared, a flashbang exploded at the entrance...

With a loud "boom," Ronnie staggered, unable to control his movements, and fell flat...

"Shit..."

As Medic Bird wanted to turn back and assist, the fallen Ronnie ripped off his hearing aid, covered his ringing ears, and shouted loudly: "Don't come, there's a bomb and hostages in the room..."
