King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 319 The Devil Bird's Temperament

The three SWAT members who entered in a single file saw the grenade hit the ground and bounce a few times, they panicked and tried to fall back, only to collide with the people behind them.

"Boom..."

Joe Ga was accustomed to using defensive grenades because they contained a large amount of explosives and produced more shrapnel.

But no matter how powerful a grenade was, it was still just a grenade; the blast wave couldn't penetrate through three people to kill those behind them.

And Joe Ga and his companions didn't have it easy either. They were always the ones using Flashbang Grenades to attack the enemy, but this time they were on the receiving end. Even though they covered their ears and shut their eyes, Joe Ga still felt as if someone had struck his head with a stick, and sound seemed muffled as if through a layer of cotton...

His eyes were okay, but he had a bit of a balance issue.

The first shot Joe Ga fired missed its mark; a bullet meant for the opponent's head instead hit the shoulder.

Fortunately, the unexpected devilish grenade seriously injured the other side, with two men pinned down by the bodies of their comrades, and another was in bad shape as well.

As gunshots rang out, that guy sitting on the ground started pulling the trigger towards the inside of the apartment...

"Dada dada..."

While suppressing Joe Ga with wild gunfire, he dragged the body to free his dizzied comrade.

The man whom Joe Ga had shot in the shoulder somehow managed to pull out a Flashbang Grenade, intent on landing another heavy blow on Joe Ga's team.

Joe Ga, crouched at the edge of the open kitchen counter, spotted the man's movement. He lifted his gun and fired, hitting the man's chest with multiple bullets.

And then a vase flew out from Pliers' position, followed by a loud explosion...

Joe Ga was momentarily stunned, shook his still dizzy head, and peered at the smoky apartment hallway, shouting, "Pliers, was that you?"

At that moment, Pliers stood up from behind the living room sofa, took a few cat-like steps to regain his balance, then grinned and said, "Yes, I love C4, I absolutely adore it."

'Medic Officer Bird' and 'Dart' were also ready to counterattack at the time of the explosion, so their positions were compromised.

'Medic Officer Bird' stood up, pulled out a shard of vase from his thigh, cursed, then poured iodine from his medical kit onto the wound and sealed it with a bandage.

Just as he was about to go out and check the situation, he heard 'Dart' speak in a troubled tone, "Can ya give me a hand? I'm gonna slaughter that bastard Pliers."

'Medic Officer Bird' rushed to Dart's side and felt his upper body, saying, "You're hurt? Where?"

'Dart' then let go of his crotch, his voice trembling as he said, "Here, I don't dare look; you check for me..."

"Oh, shit!!"

Medic Officer Bird, seeing Dart's blood-stained crotch, quickly pulled down his pants.

He carefully searched and upon finding a wound at the base of Dart's thigh, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright, it's a bent glass shard, a few centimeters from the artery. Just bear with me, I'll remove the shard now, we can get an X-ray later and stitching it up will be fine."

Dart, not daring to look at his own wound, pleaded tearfully, "Is my little buddy okay? I feel like I can't sense it anymore."

At that moment, Joe Ga had finished checking the bodies outside and had taken photos of the more intact corpses.

Upon his return, he overheard Dart's words, looked down, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your little buddy is still there..."

Medic Officer Bird used pincers to extract the glass shard from the wound, then covered it with a large gauze pad, wrapped it with tape, and said, "Buddy, your little buddy's gone into hiding, it'd be hard to hit it."

Dart finally took a deep breath, only to discover Pliers taking photos with his phone. Dart quickly pulled up his underwear and shouted angrily, "You asshole, I'm gonna kill you!"

Seeing Dart stand up ready to go after Pliers, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "We need to pull out; the FBI must be going crazy by now. I need to lay low for a while."

Joe Ga then took out his phone. Seeing that it was Nis who had called before, he dialed back while walking out. Once connected, he said, "I'm okay; where are you guys? I'll come to you."

After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Nis gave him an address...

Sitting in a fashion store on Fifth Avenue, Nis endured the odd stares of several store employees.

Ever since the explosion, she felt the looks she received from the people around her change. Several female clerks and models whispered together, their voices loud enough for Nis to hear...

"Damn terrorists! Damn Arab People!"

The FBI and police who had been following them ran to the site of the explosion as soon as it occurred.

Dorian and the others stood outside the store looking towards the explosion, leaving only Nis and the restless Estelle inside.

After learning Joe Ga was alright, the relieved Nis didn't want to take issue with these people who couldn't even differentiate between Middle Easterners and North Africans, but when she heard a female clerk secretly make a police call, mentioning a "suspicious Middle Eastern individual" inside the store, she got angry!

The woman was a mix herself and yet held an inexplicable sense of superiority, making her overlook the bodyguards outside...

Perhaps out of jealousy or some other reason, when she found the opportunity, she wanted to cause some trouble for Nis, who had always been trying to keep a low profile.

Estelle, who had come with Nis to pick out shoes, was now bewildered by the explosion and didn't know what to do; she had no idea what was happening in the store.

Nis walked to the entrance of the store, let Ayu in, and then locked the storefront behind them.

This Libyan female sniper suddenly drew her gun amidst the strange looks from everyone and destroyed the store's surveillance system.

The 'Super Jagare's' shots were loud, but the soundproofing of the luxury store was so good that apart from Dorian and his group, who were close by, most people outside were unaware of what had happened.

Nis looked at the screaming female clerks and several models. She took out several stacks of hundred-dollar bills from Ayu's bag and placed them on a counter with accessories, then turned to the woman who was calling the police and said, "I want to buy clothes, but I need someone to show them to me."

When Joe Ga arrived by car, he saw Dorian and his group with bemused expressions blocking the entrance to a luxury store.

He leaned in for a closer look and saw Nis sitting on a sofa, while several women, trembling with fear, changed into clothes in the spacious lobby and walked back and forth on the makeshift runway, sobbing and wailing.

Joe Ga whistled and pushed the door open, only to see Estelle with a look of despair, like a toy that had run out of batteries, about to slump to the ground if not for Ayu holding her.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Joe Ga walked over to Nis, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and placed an arm around her shoulder. He glanced at the variously shaped women and said with a smile, "Are you angry?"

"I paid for it, this is a service of the store!" Nis replied.

To this, Nis, after looking at Joe Ga's concerned gaze, fell silent for a moment, then gave a slight shake of her head and said, "I don't want to talk about it..."

Joe Ga nodded indifferently and added, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. If they made you angry, we could just find a place to bury them..."

Joe Ga was just trying to cheer Nis up, but the women evidently took him seriously.

Two models dressed only in thongs and tiny pasties let out a wail and sat on the ground, crying their eyes out.

The clerk who had called the police began to wail, "No, please don't hurt us, I'm sorry... "

At this moment, Nis probably felt that bullying a few ignorant women wasn't much fun. She stood up, went over to the shoe rack, picked up a pair of delicate lambskin shoes, walked over to the female clerk, dropped a stack of hundred-dollar bills, and said, "You're right, I am dangerous, but I'm a Libyan."

After saying that, Nis walked up to Estelle, holding Joe Ga's arm, put the shoes in her hands, and told her, "These are for you, as I promised."

Estelle had always thought Nis easy to talk to, but she never imagined that Nis would be so uninhibited in her outburst.

Seeing Joe Ga indifferent to the chaos, Estelle said with a tone of grievance, "I'm going to make a report, you all are madmen!"

Joe Ga, looking at Estelle's distress, smiled and nodded, "Suit yourself, but remember to handle this mess."

To which Estelle angrily retorted, "How am I supposed to handle it?"

Joe Ga looked back at the sobbing women, shrugged, and suggested, "Then let my people take care of it..."

"No..."

Estelle, looking at the women who once held their heads high but now lacked even the courage to make eye contact with Nis, yelled in frustration, "Go, just go, I'll take responsibility for this.

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK..."

Joe Ga signaled for Ayu to let go of Estelle, patted the devastated DEA agent on the shoulder, and said, "Keep the shoes safe, we've paid for them. Discover hidden content at empire

We'll wait outside for you, it's not very safe around here now, so come back to the hotel with us."

After saying that, Joe Ga left the store with his arm around Nis's shoulders...

As soon as they stepped outside, they heard Dorian whistle and shout, "Devil Bird, the year when Berlusconi was picking clothes for his girlfriend, he had supermodels walk the runway just for that.

You should've let me in to help, I've always wanted to experience the thrill of shopping like a big shot."

Now in the comforting presence of her comrades, Nis's mood improved quickly, and she couldn't help but smile, replying, "You can try next door. Of course, you'll need to have a girlfriend first."

Dorian, hitting a sore spot, looked helplessly at Spurs and Orange Cat and said, "Do you know the worst thing about P.B.? There are no pretty girls in that godforsaken part of Central Africa, and even if there are, they're all taken."

Seeing Dorian shifting his gaze towards Nis, seemingly ready to suck up, Joe Ga lightly feigned a kick at him and ordered, "Go get the car, we're heading back to the hotel.

Today's incident was a close call; I underestimated the 'Messenger.'

We need to get back and strategize; it's not a solution to always be chasing after his tail.

Damn it, who knows how many FBI agents died this time..."
