King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 345 The Strange Turn

Estelle never imagined herself to be so unlucky. She had handed over the matters to her colleagues in Texas and was about to leave, but then...

As the only public servant present, Estelle felt even more nervous than Carmen because she knew all too well the habits of these people.

Watching the gaunt man approaching closer, Joe Ga glanced at Old Bull with knitted brows and the teary-eyed Carmen feeling guilty. Shaking his head, he gently pushed on Estelle's shoulder and said, "No killing, get your people ready with an ambulance..."

Estelle, troubled, replied, "But, but their negotiation isn't finished yet, and the Foster Gang's drugs haven't been brought out..."

Speaking, Estelle bit her lip and whispered, "I just got word that the man with the green headband is a Texas cop..."

Joe Ga looked at the green headbands looking more flamboyant than the gangsters and said with a laugh, "What's this?

I've only heard of cops pretending to be buyers to lure out drug dealers. I've never seen cops pretending to be gangsters to strive to become drug distributors.

The man showed up; just do him, the drugs must be in the car outside."

Estelle shook her head and said, "Impossible, if that guy was so dumb, he'd have been caught long ago."

Realizing Joe Ga's displeased look, she quickly shook her head and said, "I wasn't talking about you..."

Joe Ga, pushing Estelle's head to move her out of the way, said unhappily, "I know, but once you say it, I'm not so sure anymore."

Looking at the gaunt man who showed no fear even when cornered by the Spurs, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "If I can make him obediently bring over the drugs, would that count as helping you solve the case?"

Estelle, nervously clutching Joe Ga's arm, almost pleaded, "Don't mess around!"

Joe Ga looked at Estelle as if she were a fool and said, "I'm not a proper cop, so what's the problem if I do something out of line?"

Estelle paused for a moment before realizing, P·B is just a DEA contracting company, not a proper public servant, and their contract could become 'nonexistent' if necessary.

Mercenaries aren't afraid of complaints. As long as they prove that the Foster Gang is dealing drugs and nobody dies, isn't it up to the Department of Justice whether to prosecute or not?

Now Estelle finally understood why the old men in Congress liked using mercenaries for war; isn't it natural for mercenaries to do something out of line?

Civilian vigilantes catching drug traffickers using illegal means to make them confess, police getting commended for their service, and with regards to whether the 'vigilantes' would be prosecuted, isn't that a matter of the Department of Justice's say?

Of course, the premise is that no one dies in public!

Finally grasping the logic of Joe Ga's identity, Estelle looked sympathetically at the gaunt man and then picked up her phone to say a few words quietly as she walked aside...

Seeing Estelle nod at him, Joe Ga walked to the restaurant's corridor, whispered something in Nis's ear, then gestured for Old Bull to take Carmen and Tony away through the back door first.

Then he grabbed the unwilling Tony and pointed towards the bar, saying, "Are you stupid? Take those girls out, that Gina is quite pretty."

Tony was stunned, then nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, don't be scared, I'll send them out and come back to help you."

The gaunt man, not stopping Carmen from leaving through the back door, just smiled at Joe Ga. Then he said something in Spanish to his men and even mimicked the actions from a stage play, nodding and bowing to Joe Ga as a sort of greeting...

Joe Ga watched the Mexican lackey dash outside to gather people to corner Carmen in the back and sighed – these drug traffickers were not all dumb and deranged; they knew better than to confront someone with bodyguards.

Joe Ga gestured for Sanderson and Waters to go watch the back, then told Spur, Orange Cat, Blow Dart, Pincers to disperse. He then addressed the gaunt man trying to retreat, saying, "Hey, don't go, let's talk."

The gaunt man stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Joe Ga askew, saying, "Sir, I respect you, so I didn't trouble you in front of your people.

Please sit down quietly now, finish eating nicely, then go back to sleep, and by the way, forget about the girl named Carmen..."

Joe Ga watched the man who seemed to be acting, shook his head with a disappointed smile, and said, "If you hadn't been so smug, I could give your acting three points, but now it's down to zero.

What's your name?

I'm actually heading to Los Angeles. If you're willing, I can give you a ride. If you cooperate, I can find you an acting class.

With your skills, you'd be the darling of all once you land in prison!"

The gaunt man's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. He gestured to his restless men in the restaurant to stop, then with two of his men, took a few steps forward, his gaze venomously fixed on Joe Ga, saying, "Around here, people call me 'Coyote.'

When you yellow-skinned monkeys came to America, didn't you do any homework?

I can forgive your stupidity, as long as you apologize to me, lick my boots clean, and have your rich parents send over a million dollars, then you can leave Texas safely."

Joe Ga was momentarily stunned; he pinched his nose bridge and thought for a moment before realizing the man across had mistaken him for a rich kid from China.

Now feeling challenged, the man not only wanted to humiliate him back but also demanded a million dollars as compensation.

Looking at the confident and arrogant 'Coyote,' Joe Ga shook his head and with lightning speed pulled out the 'Super Jaguar' and fired a shot in his thigh.

Joe Ga's move was so fast that the 'Coyote,' who had not yet screamed out in pain from falling, watched as Ayu darted out from behind Joe Ga, grabbing the necks of his two men and smashing their heads onto the dining table...

With a 'bang,' the two unfortunate souls who tried to compete with the table with their heads instantly got their noses flattened and then slumped lifelessly to the ground.

'Spur' and his men leapt into action as Ayu made her move, knocking down several Mexicans who had tried to draw their guns. They then took out their own firearms to control the scene, quieting down the motorbike gang.

At the same moment, two flashes of light appeared at the back door of the restaurant, followed by two massive explosions.

Immediately afterward, the report of Nis's 'Super Jagare' rang out...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Then Sanderson, and the older men rushed forward to disarm them, before hammering fiercely into the Mexican gang members who were screaming in agony as if burned by a branding iron.

After Ayu had dealt with two gang members, she saw a motorbike gang member with a big beard reaching for something. With a ferocious roar, she charged forward, picked up the hefty man who weighed at least 300 pounds, and rammed him into the bar for over ten meters, slamming him solidly into it...

He really was smashed into it!!

The solid wooden bar now appeared to have grown a big, fat man whose mouth was gushing out something...

The wildly ferocious Ayu seemed to have a calming effect; the motorbike gang tough guys, who just a moment ago were giving 'Spur' trouble, fell silent at the sight of Ayu, who was like a demon.

They obediently took out their weapons and dropped them to the floor, gathering them up and handing them over to 'Spur', who had his gun raised.

Those present were lawless, but their methods differed completely from those of P.B.

The underlying logic of gang behavior isn't to kill but to intimidate and extort benefits from others.

Drug dealers are slightly more brutal; they'll use the cruelest methods to kill those who oppose them in order to protect their business.

The mistaking of Joe Ga's identity caused them to be 'dragging their feet' in their response.

P.B.'s men were different; once they identified you as an enemy, their sole purpose was to take your life.

Joe Ga didn't want to cause too much trouble, nor did he want to leave Tony's mother and Carmen with a cruel and murderous impression that would unsettle them, so he opted for a slightly gentler approach.

In the blink of an eye during the conflict, Joe Ga walked over to 'Coyote', bent down, pulled a silver revolver from his waist, and tapped his face with the gun, smiling as he said, "Hey, buddy, you ought to be screaming now..."

'Coyote' hesitated for a moment before excruciating pain radiated from his thigh and spread everywhere.

"Aah..."

Joe Ga had never been bitten by a bullet ant and did not know how painful it actually was.

But listening to the wave over wave of agonized screams from the Mexican underlings Nis had shot, and seeing 'Coyote', who didn't even care about the blood hole in his leg, desperately knocking his head against the table leg to try to knock himself out, Joe Ga understood he had truly found something good.

Estelle came over with a look of horror and said to Joe Ga, "What's going on? You said no killing!"

Joe Ga replied with annoyance, "Is he dead?"

Estelle watched as Joe Ga considerately positioned a seat cushion under the table leg for 'Coyote', whose face was covered in blood, causing him to let out a howl of despair...

"Call an ambulance!!! Call an ambulance!!!"

Joe Ga stepped on his injured leg, distracting him with another type of pain, then smiled and said, "Don't rush, the instructions say the first three minutes are the most painful. Endure it, and it'll get much better.

Also, I've heard it' s pretty good for rheumatism. Don't worry, I'm timing it. As soon as three minutes are up, I'll shoot you again."

'Coyote's white pants were now dyed red with blood, but he felt nothing. Right now, all he wanted was to relieve the pain, so...

"Let me go, or the Foster Gang won't let you off."

Joe Ga looked at 'Coyote' with a cold smile and said fiercely, "Our Zeta people are afraid of you?

I know you're here to make a deal with the motorbike gang. Hand over your drugs, and I'll let you take a hit to ease the pain."

Joe Ga was talking nonsense; Zeta was a suspicious gang he had read about in the files.

In West Texas, the most ruthless Mexicans typically come from the border city of Juarez, while Zeta operates in Laredo, on the eastern border of Texas.

Joe Ga said this because he thought it was easier to bully 'colleagues', as they generally understood each other better.

It was all just bluster, and Joe Ga felt no pressure whatsoever.

To Joe Ga's surprise, 'Coyote' didn't yield but instead stared fiercely at him and said through clenched teeth, "You sons of bitches, we just agreed to help your people cross the border, and now you want to rob the payment...

You've got some nerve, unless you kill everyone here today, our boss won't let this slide!!"

Now it was Joe Ga's turn to be stunned. After a few seconds, he shot 'Coyote' in the other thigh, then, while 'Coyote' screamed nonstop, said, "Give me the drugs, we have our own ways of getting people across..."

Facing Joe Ga' s threats, 'Coyote' screamed, "The HLY is in the wasteland across the highway. Don't you regret this...

With the Americans blocking the border, without our tunnels, you won't be able to get that Englishman out."
