King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 595 - 570 Shocking News

Joe Ga arrived at the small town of Byrdi in the early hours, and took a short nap at the base converted from a school campus.

When Mr. Joe woke up in the morning and stepped outside, the first thing he saw was Eric's big face...

Watching 'Kitten' come in with breakfast, her face twisted with anger at Eric, Joe Ga chuckled and waved his hand for Eric to wait a moment, then he himself went outside, intending to go to the restroom to freshen up...

On his way out, he saw the old man he had encountered at the Benghazi Manor, along with a young man with a scar on his face.

The old man no longer had the casual demeanor he had back then; upon seeing Joe Ga, he nodded and bowed excessively, rubbing his hands together to greet him, but was silenced by Mr. Joe with a stern gaze that made him bow his head.

The young man was Hasan, who presented himself quite stoically.

In the face of Joe Ga's commanding scrutiny, Hasan stood up straight and met Mr. Joe's eyes...

Joe Ga genuinely admired this military demeanor, and he stared into Hasan's eyes for five seconds, noting the absence of any shifty gaze, and said in satisfaction, "Served in the military?"

Hasan straightened up and said loudly, "Yes, I served. My name is Hassan Mahdi Mansour, former captain of the Libyan Hamis Brigade."

Joe Ga was taken aback for a moment, then gestured for the man to wait there and proceeded towards the restroom to freshen up...

Joe Ga had heard of the Hamis Brigade, Colonel Ka's most elite force; if France hadn't intervened with full force and mercenaries hadn't flocked in from all over the world, the Hamis Brigade would have wiped out the opposition in the early stages of the Libyan civil war.

It was a pity that when the no-fly zone was established and British-French Special Forces mingled with the mercenaries to join the war, the situation started to skew one-sided.

Placed in Libya, the Hamis Brigade was indeed the cream of the crop, but on a global scale, they didn't amount to much.

What caught Joe Ga's attention was that the name 'Mansour' was part of Hasan's name, and Nis's full name was Nis Mansour.

Joe Ga had once asked Nis if she was the child of a chieftain from a Libyan tribe?

Nis had not directly answered Joe Ga's question, but Joe Ga knew this was an implicit acknowledgment.

Nis's brother had died a wrongful death, but managing to take care of Colonel Ka's arsenal meant his status was anything but ordinary.

The big families of MSL usually have lots of branches and spread far and wide. If it happens to be some distant relative and it's not too much trouble, one should still look after them a bit...

After figuring it out, Joe Ga walked to the door of the room, held up his phone in front of Hasan's face, took a picture, and then sent it to Nis.

Then he called Hasan and the old man into the room and had 'Kitten', who was a bit reluctant for having her breakfast disturbed, prepare some tea for them.

When the tea arrived, Joe Ga gestured for Eric to hold his tongue and instead addressed Hasan, "You say you have important information for me..."

Sitting upright in his chair, holding a teacup in a flawless posture, Hasan set down the cup and then glanced at the old man beside him...

The old man decisively stood up, turned around, and stepped out to stand outside the door.

When Eric saw Hasan's eyes turn to him, he pointed to his own nose in a fit of frustration and said, "You want me to leave?"

Hasan ignored Eric and instead looked towards Joe Ga, saying, "Boss, this news isn't suitable for too many people to know; it could get a lot of people killed..."

Seeing Eric about to blow his top, Joe Ga chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down, sit down. Let's hear what kind of news could get a lot of people killed. Could it be worse than dirty bombs and chemical weapons?"

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Hasan, smiled, and said, "Go on, Mr. Bent is one of us. Strictly speaking, you don't even have a contract right now; you're just a temp, so you're the outsider here."

After speaking, Joe Ga glanced at 'Kitten', whose eyebrows were knitted in frustration. He patted the back of her hand, then looked at Hasan, saying, "This is 'Kitten', a very skilled sniper. She's not my accessory.

If you want to join P·B, she will be your senior.

You should show respect for your seniors, not treat them as men's accessories or act as if they're non-existent."

Hasan, the stubborn MSL man, uncomfortably skimmed his gaze over 'Kitten's' face, eventually choosing to nod slightly in recognition, but he consistently refused to exchange a word with 'Kitten'.

'Kitten' was fuming...

First was Eric, who disturbed her private world with the boss early in the morning, and then came a damn MSL who treated her like one of Mr. Joe's possessions or mere objects.

That would irk anyone!

'Kitten', placing her teacup forcefully on the table, stood up and glared at Hasan, saying, "Only cowards refuse to meet a woman's eyes..."

With that, 'Kitten' lost interest in the so-called 'important information' and strode out of the room...

Joe Ga gave Hasan a look of sympathy and said, "Buddy, you've offended someone you shouldn't have...

You expect others to respect your customs, but you have to respect theirs as well.

Now, tell me this 'important information' of yours, then I'll give you some time to persuade me to forgive you for pretending to be one of P·B, and then I'll consider letting you join P·B's team."

Hasan didn't seem to feel humiliated; he bore the weight of his village's lives and future on his shoulders.

Initially, he just wanted to get a little extra pay from P·B's hands, but later things changed.

He learned about the events at the border, the contract between P·B and the National Army, and what had happened in Byrdi and Tubruq.

He saw an opportunity, a chance for his people to lead better lives, so he insisted he was with P·B, persisting in leading the way for the 'temporary P·B', coordinating with their operations.

Ultimately, he insisted on delivering the most important intelligence to Joe Ga personally.

Once, this guy had truly been a noble, and a person with a sense of responsibility, but now, pressured by the struggle for survival, he was gradually starting to feel overwhelmed.

He needed to secure shelter for his villagers, a job, a future where they could see hope.

Hasan glanced at Eric beside him, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Jhalu's Salim, who is also the second in command at the North African Base, once occupied a secret armory located underground in Jalu."

"Not only did he gain the capital to start up from there, but he also acquired some chemical weapons materials..."

Upon hearing this, Eric frowned and said, "If all you got from Salim is this, then I think you're playing us."

With a stern tone, Eric continued, "What exactly did Salim say before he died?"

Hasan glanced at Eric and said, "What Salim said before he died was, 'Divine punishment shall descend upon the earth, and all those who do not believe shall turn to ashes.'"

Hearing this, Eric frowned again and asked, "Just with those chemical bombs?"

Then looking at Joe Ga, Eric said, "Boss, I'll have someone kick him out. This guy is nothing but a fraud!"

Joe Ga, looking at the grave expression on Hasan's face, shook his head and said, "Let him continue, I have a bad feeling about this."

After a long silence, Hasan said, "As an escort, I've been to that armory located underground in Jalu. There weren't only a large quantity of light weapons and chemical weapons materials, but also four small nuclear bomb detonators.

"That place used to be top secret, but there was a traitor from the Hamis Brigade. Salim was once part of the Hamis Brigade..."

"So the divine punishment might not be just Salim's dying curse!"

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga exchanged looks with Eric, and then almost simultaneously they both exclaimed, "O~M~G...."

Joe Ga was extremely surprised, while Eric was terrified.

The cry of the latter was filled with tremors, vividly displaying his fear.

As everyone knows, the most difficult part about nuclear weapons is the enrichment of materials and the detonators.

A nuclear weapon detonator is not like a mortar's fuse, set and ready to explode on contact. It produces a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction.

Countries capable of producing nuclear detonators can be counted on one hand worldwide.

Joe Ga, however, wasn't particularly scared; a few detonators couldn't kill anyone.

Weapon-grade enriched uranium isn't something that's easy to get a hold of. Just by what ISIS took from the French, they would still be far short. How many years has Iran been at it?

Besides, who would blow up Central Africa for no reason?

Looking at Eric clutching his head in disbelief, Joe Ga thought for a moment and then asked, "Who do you think would have 'delivered the detonators' to Gaddafi?"

Without a moment's hesitation and with intense anger, Eric replied, "Who else but the English... those sons of bitches raised by pigs had planted an undercover in the North African organization and had been refusing to end her mission..."

"Madeline being with Salim's son now appears to be not without reason."

"FUCK, those sons of bitches from the United Kingdom sent the undercover to compensate for the mistakes they made..."

While saying this, Eric stood up anxiously, his voice trembling as he said, "How dare those bastard sons of bitches? How could they give something so important to a madman like Gaddafi?"

Joe Ga ignored Eric's wails and, stroking his chin, muttered to himself, "No, something's not right. If the English knew there was a problem with 'Jhalu' in advance, they wouldn't drag their feet and not solve it.

"How did Madeline manage to find Salim's son Amal so accurately after the betrayal?

"Did Madeline deliberately conceal the news about the detonators? Did she decide to betray before her mother got blown up by her, or after?"

Joe Ga rubbed his temples, which were starting to throb, and said, "Still, something's off, but I can't pinpoint what it is!"

Looking at Joe Ga deep in thought, Hasan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sir, is it possible that before Madeline entered Jalu, Salim and his people didn't actually know they were nuclear bomb detonators?

"Obtaining Gaddafi's legacy wasn't a blessing. NATO has been looking for traces of chemical weapons; had they been exposed, Salim, who wasn't a big player yet, would have certainly been killed.

"So he dares not tell anyone, until Madeline got in contact with them..."

Hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and looked at Hasan, asking, "Then how did you know about it?"

Hasan bowed his head in silence for a moment and said, "I used to be close guard to Hamis. I was present when he received those four detonators."

Just as Joe Ga was about to inquire further, his phone suddenly rang. Nis had sent a message...

"Hassan Mahdi Mansour, graduate of Surt Military School, personal guard to Hamis. We're from the same tribe."
