King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 859 - 771: Not Letting Friends Down

Thompson looked at the mentally agile boss Joe Ga, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "It depends on where the dirty bomb explodes.

If it's in New York, the result would be a stock market crash and capital flight from financial markets.

If the White House cannot resolve the issue quickly, they will definitely choose to initiate the third Iraq War to help the financial capital regain confidence."

Speaking of this, Thompson looked at the gleaming-eyed Joe Ga, shook his head with a smile and said, "But it's more likely that the dirty bomb will explode in some unknown small town, or even in the desert.

This would give the American Government ample time and opportunity to cover up the truth!

From the actions taken, Hafali is smart. He knows the consequences of thoroughly enraging America; he can't go too far if he wants his wife and children back."

Joe Ga quite agreed with what Thompson said, he nodded slightly and said, "That also means it's unlikely for me to capitalize on this event in the financial market."

Thompson shook his head and said, "Not entirely impossible, but the risk is high, and the potential loss isn't worth it for P·B.

People from Wall Street are not easy to deal with..."

Joe Ga nodded in approval, but he had some other ideas...

After pondering for a while, Joe Ga said to Thompson, "Those people are scheming to send me off to Iraq, probably planning to trap me there as well.

Maybe we should advance our plan...

With me gone and Eric still lying in the hospital, this is the best way to clear suspicions!"

Thompson knew what Joe Ga was referring to. After closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose to think for a while, he said, "Okay, I've got a target in mind, and I'll handle this personally.

However, if we move this up, it won't be likely to put Rashiri to death.

News have a time limit, exposing it too early would give her nearly five months to come up with something.

If she wins the election, she can use her power to obstruct a judicial investigation, and even if she loses, she might be able to strike an immunity deal with Trump through bargaining."

Joe Ga waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. I never intended to take the old lady out with one hit, I just want her gone!

Her husband is a formidable character. Pulling out the radish will bring out the mud, and it might spatter all over me if not handled well.

Moreover, I just don't find Trump reliable. Even if he wins, he'll probably offend a lot of people.

I need to leave myself enough room to maneuver..."

Thompson loved his boss's clarity of mind!

Be ruthlessly decisive when needed, and always have a clear mind when it's time to be sober.

He nodded in agreement with Joe Ga's thoughts and said with a smile, "Leave it to me to handle this!

People don't know, but American politicians really lack a sense of confidentiality.

I have a way to ignite Rashiri's problems, and even make her think it was her own carelessness."

Then Thompson chuckled and said, "Boss, you should take this opportunity to remind Eric to call Rashiri and demand the fulfillment of the 'confidentiality agreement'.

Take some benefits, show some weakness, as if to complete the 'deal' with you.

As long as the 'secret' doesn't get leaked from the FBI, there will be no suspicion on Eric.

Coupled with the strong feedback you give, Rashiri wouldn't dare hurt Eric!"

Joe Ga admired the thoroughness of this old fox Thompson and nodded with a laugh, "I will call Eric..."

Saying this, Joe Ga stood up to say, "I need to rest a bit. Also, keep an eye on Elephant and the rest, I estimate that within 5 days at most, those people will make a move.

I must take the blame when everyone else is putting their efforts together, and then head to Iraq for work."

Thompson nodded solemnly and said, "No problem, leave it to me!

Inciting a riot among black people is simple...

We can now get great support from the New York Police, if needed, I can cause trouble in New York.

Then you can hold a grand press conference, and many people will owe you favors for it!"

Joe Ga stood up satisfied, laughed heartily, and walked out back to his room.

Back in his room, Joe Ga didn't rest. He took out a satellite phone and sent a message to Aaron...

He had realized a problem and needed an answer from Aaron.

Soon, a reply from Aaron arrived on the phone, and Joe Ga skillfully opened a website and entered a chat room to see Aaron.

Seeing the video background of the blue sky, white clouds, grass, and a swimming pool, Joe Ga couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Buddy, you really know how to enjoy life...

They didn't hand over the so-called 'refiner', but instead they came up with intelligence on an ISIS leader.

What's the deal with that?"

Aaron seemed to be in a good mood and laughed, "I accidentally killed that 'refiner'..."

Joe Ga could tell Aaron was lying. There aren't many people in the world who can make nuclear weapons, and even fewer that he could use; how could someone like him kill a key person who was useful to him?

Pretending not to notice Aaron's lie, Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "What's the deal with that ISIS leader?"

"Can he really help the Department of Homeland Security find Hafali?"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know about that!

All I can guarantee is that the intelligence I offer is real; 'The Teacher' is indeed Hafali's guide.

Maybe the DHS can pry some critical information out of his mouth, who knows."

Joe Ga squinted at Aaron and said, "Aaron, Hafali's wife Tami's escape has something to do with you...

Are you doing this on purpose, are you waiting for the first dirty bomb to explode?"

Aaron was stunned for a moment, his gaze subconsciously avoiding Joe Ga's intense stare. After a few minutes, he nodded slightly and said, "Hu Lang, this matter has nothing to do with you; you should focus on your own contract and that loudmouth Thompson...

I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, but once the dirty bombs were brought into America, it was destined they'd be used.

Hafali loves his wife and children; he wouldn't do anything to thoroughly enrage America.

I chose the least harmful way for America..."

After listening, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "Where do you think the first dirty bomb is most likely to blow up?"

Looking into Joe Ga's eyes, Aaron laughed and said, "If I had to guess...

I'd say the bomb would go off in an isolated location, with a sparse population, where locals are used to high pollution, and where there's experience in dealing with contamination..."

Joe Ga stared blankly for a moment, then incredulously said to Aaron, who was almost laying his cards on the table and clearly knew Hafali's operations, "Why do I feel like all these hints you're giving me have something to do with your surname?"

Aaron revealed a strange smile and said, "Is there anything special about my surname?"

Joe Ga shook his head, not understanding, and said, "Your surname helped you keep your life in your confrontation with Harlotte..."

Aaron shook his head and said, "Hu Lang, you might not understand if I tell you, my surname is inherently sinful!

I've never seen myself as part of Dupont, and in fact, they wouldn't even acknowledge my existence.

Otherwise, why would a Dupont heir born with a silver spoon go to the CIA?

In truth, Harlotte only took one of my legs, it was Dupont that took the other one, and then I became an arms dealer who could only move around in a wheelchair.

They took my dignity and still wanted me to work for them, so I did..."

Joe Ga didn't think Aaron would lie to him about this, hesitated for a bit, and said, "So is this your way of getting revenge?"

Aaron looked down in silence for a moment and then said, "You could say that...

Hu Lang, stop asking; I don't want to lie to you!

Just do your job well, and if you want to make some money, you could start shorting Dupont's stocks now; you'll make a fortune when the time comes."

Joe Ga decisively shook his head and said, "No, that kind of money spells big trouble!"

After hesitating, Joe Ga seriously said, "Aaron, I don't know what your true intentions are, but I hope for some hints, because I don't want my people getting caught up in this..."

After listening, Aaron nodded, smiled, and said, "Tell them not to leave New York and New Jersey, and to avoid any contact with the people from Dupont; they won't be in much danger.

I suggest you leave early...

A dangerous person like you staying in America would make a lot of people uneasy, and might even interfere with my plans.

Hu Lang, I need 10 months, then you'll know what I'm aiming for."

Aaron's composure sent a chill down Joe Ga's back, not because he feared Aaron would screw him over, but because the guy's response to 'hatred' was too indifferent.

Not like Boss Joe, who'd always be up in arms about issues, seeking revenge from dawn till dusk.

Aaron was the quiet type, 'revenge' was never his primary demand; for instance, when Harlotte was taken down, the guy didn't even bat an eyelid.

Identify a target, then go achieve it, and incidentally get revenge along the way - that was Aaron's style.

The guy wanted to trample everyone underfoot, not just physically eliminate them.

Perceiving Boss Joe's mood, Aaron laughed and said, "Buddy, your girlfriend is pregnant; you shouldn't linger in America.

Catch 'The Teacher' and hand him over, then head to Africa to finish off that idiot Clive Robinson for me, it's what you promised..."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga laughed and said, "You must really hate that Clive Robinson guy?

I've already made some moves; the guy won't cause any major trouble..."

Aaron shook his head and said, "Then you're underestimating him. The Ethiopians can't play him...

This is the man who watched me get onto the operating table, he's very afraid of me, so he pays extra attention to me.

He even volunteered to go to that godforsaken place in Africa just to keep an eye on me.

Hu Lang, take him out for me!

I owe you one!"

Joe Ga snickered and said, "You owe me a lot...

But I am the best friend a friend can have..."

Aaron knew what was coming next and he nodded earnestly, "I won't let a friend down!"
