King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1842 - 1522: Chain Reaction
Capítulo 1842: Chapter 1522: Chain Reaction
Hearing the voice on the phone, Joe Ga paused for a moment, then sneered and said, “Abel Ravensdale, well, I admire your courage…
Kidnapping a congressman from America in Washington, very good…
If you have the guts, kill Eric, and then we’ll see how things unfold.
I have a bad temper, but I always adhere to professional ethics, never hurting unrelated people, even if they are family members of the enemy.
You’ve broken that rule now!”
Joe Ga’s threats were very real, the Edward Foundation doesn’t live in a vacuum, their existence is extremely hidden, but that doesn’t mean no one can discover them…
Joe Ga doesn’t attack their surface businesses because it’s illegal and doesn’t harm their core.
But tearing things apart is different; if you kill one of my subordinates, I’ll let ten of your family members be buried…
Mutual harm, whoever backs down first loses!
Joe Ga used to extremely reject this kind of pointless killing…
Eric is important, but not to the extent of being core.
The surface family members of the Edward Foundation are the same; killing them doesn’t solve the problem.
Doing this only accumulates more hatred, providing no substantial benefits to either side.
But once the opponent opens Pandora’s box, it must be ruthless and endless, because showing any sign of weakness will only make the opponent push further!
And if it’s just purely physically eliminating the opponent, what’s P.B afraid of?
The old men in the P.B cafeteria are masters, even the disabled guards are seasoned fighters…
Joe Ga’s murderous words made Abel Ravensdale silent for a few seconds…
“Hu Lang, I said, we want to negotiate…”
Joe Ga knew he couldn’t show any sign of weakness now, so he coldly said, “Tell me where you are, I’ll come find you to talk right away!”
Abel Ravensdale felt Joe Ga’s murderous intent; he said helplessly, “You don’t care about Eric, but do you not care about Jemma Alexander?
Oh, and Miss Monica, she is holding a board meeting at the Destroy Group’s building, my people are right below the conference room and can blow up the bomb installed on the ceiling at any time…
That’s what you often do, right?
Hu Lang, P.B’s security is not flawless, at least there’s a gap near your close ones, we can…”
“Then why don’t you act?”
Suppressing his anger, Joe Ga said in an extremely cold tone, “I bet you don’t dare, because you’re just a bastard afraid of being killed…
If any harm comes to my people, I’ll tell you the consequence; I will catch you, including your family members, and I’ll skin you all…
If you understand me, you should know, I can do it…
You can act now, so I don’t have to be distracted thinking about other things, but focus on finding you!”
When someone threatens with something within their capability, everyone has to weigh it carefully.
Joe Ga’s intense killing intent transmitted through the phone signal to Abel Ravensdale, plunging him into prolonged silence…
Almost two minutes later, Abel Ravensdale gathered himself and reorganized his words…
“Hu Lang, we don’t want to continue entangling with you, but you took something very important to us.
Return what belongs to us, and we can sign a non-aggression agreement, specifying everyone’s business scope to avoid further conflicts.
In return, we’ll help you solve the issues happening with Miss Jemma Alexander, and we can promise that the Ladder of Light will never again take on business related to you or people connected to P.B.”
Joe Ga listened, sneered and said, “Eric just told me Mariupol is a trap, but you say you can solve Jemma’s problems.
Jemma was kidnapped a few hours ago, yet you know faster and clearer than I do; can I suspect that this is your doing?”
Saying this, Joe Ga didn’t give Abel Ravensdale a chance to speak, abruptly hung up the phone, and looked at the stern-faced Thompson beside him…
At this time, Joe Ga could not let the other party see any sign of weakness; if he showed hesitation, then Eric and Monica would be truly in danger.
Thompson looked at his boss’s cold expression; he hesitated for a moment and said, “Boss, should we have someone bring back Miss Monica?”
Joe Ga waved his hand and said, “Let ‘Spur’ take people over, don’t be too tense…
This Abel Ravensdale seems very concerned about the accounts the Mechanic took, he didn’t mention the dead killers but wants to negotiate, he won’t do overly intense things.
He’s just showing me their capabilities!
Now the problem is Eric, call Eric’s lover Anna, I need to know what’s happening?”
Thompson nodded, then said, “Boss, what about Miss Alexander?”
Joe Ga, slightly unfocused, pulled out the pistol from his waist and instinctively started dismantling it…
Until he unloaded all the bullets from the magazine and neatly arranged them in a row before slowly saying, “I always feel those people want not only to use Jemma to force the United Nations to side but the UN’s stance actually favors Ukraine.
Kidnapping Jemma can delay Russia’s offensive on Mariupol but can’t get those shady people out.
“I always feel like this is targeted at me…”
Thompson nodded and said, “Miss Alexander’s problem probably isn’t something that the Edward Foundation did, because they didn’t have enough time to plan, especially since the attack on the Haredis happened yesterday.
But if they say they can solve the problem, it proves they might know the people behind it.
If the kidnapping of Miss Alexander is aimed at P.B., and the Edward Foundation says they can rescue Miss Alexander, they must offer a price that satisfies the other side…
At least more than what they can get from P.B.!”
Joe Ga nodded slightly and said, “If Jemma is kidnapped because of me, then Jemma is temporarily safe.
The Edward Foundation wants to negotiate the return of the accounts with me, so Eric is also temporarily safe!
I need to think this over now. You ask ‘Spur’ and the others to bring Monica back, arrange enough security personnel, and put her on a plane directly.
Send her to Brazil, let her take a commercial flight.”
After Thompson nodded and left, Joe Ga took out the satellite phone, thought for a while, and dialed Aaron’s number…
When the call connected, Aaron’s lazy voice came through, “Hu Lang, what’s up? I’m busy now…”
Joe Ga said in a deep voice, “Jemma was kidnapped to Mariupol…”
Aaron was taken aback and said, “Which Jemma?
Oh shit, Jemma Alexander?”
Joe Ga heard the unusual tone in Aaron’s voice and said solemnly, “Do you know what’s going on?”
Aaron was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve been busy with some financial transactions lately, so I haven’t paid much attention to the war situation in Ukraine.
But I got a message yesterday. People from the Russian Fifth Intelligence Bureau conducted an operation in Odessa…
I don’t know the specifics, but it should be related to Mariupol.”
Joe Ga frowned and said incredulously, “Are you saying that Jemma might have been taken by the Russians? Are they insane?”
Aaron sighed and said, “Hu Lang, even if you don’t want to get involved in the Russian-Ukraine war, you really should pay more attention to the intelligence related to Russia and Ukraine.
The Russian Fifth Intelligence Bureau is undergoing a major purge because a year ago, they promised they could buy off Ukrainian officials with money, making them stand on Russia’s side at crucial moments.
Putin provided nearly 80 million euros for this purpose…
Now you know why those Russian troops attacking the northern front of Kyiv were so reckless?
They thought someone in Kyiv would cooperate with them, but due to insufficient preparation, they messed up the northern front battlefield and suffered tremendous losses…”
Joe Ga said in disbelief, “FUCK, is there such a thing?
It’s bad enough that the intelligence department takes kickbacks, and they dare gamble with war?”
Aaron snickered and said, “You got it wrong. Those people didn’t just take kickbacks; they took the entire 80 million euros.
Those idiots didn’t think a real war would even break out, so they didn’t speak the truth until the end. That’s why it led to the disastrous casualties and near-collapse of the Russian northern front.”
Joe Ga believed Aaron wouldn’t try to deceive him with incredible stories. He marveled at the level of corruption in Russia before curiously asking, “How did you know all this?”
Aaron replied naturally, “Because I helped them move that money out, and now a large portion of that 80 million is still in cryptocurrency accounts.
But considering Putin’s character, I doubt they’ll get to use it.”
After pondering for a moment, Aaron said, “Initially, I thought their operation in Odessa targeted Ukrainian officials there, but now that I think about it, the problem with Jemma Alexander might be their doing.
The only way for these people to survive now is to betray Russia…”
Joe Ga’s mind was flooded with information, and he said helplessly, “Why would the Russian intelligence officers kidnap Jemma if they intend to betray?”
Aaron was silent for a few seconds and said, “I’m just guessing, but if they want to betray, they need to contact NATO’s intelligence personnel and demonstrate their value. And do you know where NATO is most concerned about right now?”
Joe Ga recalled Sebastian from Tian Peng asking for help before, and he sighed and said, “It’s Mariupol, right?
Someone told me there are a lot of shady characters there…
They’re from NATO, right?
They can’t be captured, so they need to use Jemma to open a humanitarian corridor, letting those people evacuate Mariupol among civilians to avoid being caught by the Russians.”
Joe Ga rubbed his face hard and said, “My relationship with Jemma is well known outside…
I risked my life for Charlene in Monaco; I risked my life for Amina in Shah; now it’s Jemma’s turn…
FUCK, if I want to keep Jemma safe, I have to cooperate with the United Nations to establish an evacuation corridor.
But Jemma has been kidnapped, and once those people evacuate, there’s no way they’ll let her live to tell the truth…
To keep Jemma temporarily safe, I must follow the UN’s lead and help those warped Azov Battalion hold off the Russians, covering those shady people’s retreat.
To ensure Jemma survives, I must help the Russians fight the Azov Battalion…
Damn it, if I follow their script, no matter what choice I make, I’m damned either way!”
