King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 601 - 575: One Must Die
Madeline heard Joe Ga candidly using the promise of helping her seek revenge as a bargaining chip, her eyes mocking as she looked at him and said, "You're just the owner of a mercenary company, you don't even know who I want to take revenge on, and you think you can help me exact vengeance?"
"You think you can threaten those people with some intelligence, some so-called testimony without any solid evidence?"
Joe Ga stared back at the mocking Madeline and said with a smile, "It's just an added bonus..."
"I need to know who orchestrated this ambush, no one can cross me without paying a price."
"Don't tell me it was that Isa. She's not high-ranking enough, I need someone of significance to step forward and pay for what happened to me."
"I don't particularly mind a fight within the rules, but I do take issue with one that aims to obliterate me physically. I must respond, or else everyone will treat me as a minor character and these incidents will continue to happen again and again," he said.
As Joe Ga spoke, he looked at the strange expression on Madeline's face and casually spread his hands, "Some things start with death, and thus must end with death."
"You see, in the current situation, we actually have some common ground."
"Give me a few names, and then let's jointly consider a suitable target for revenge," he suggested.
Madeline, looking at Joe Ga's smile, knew well that once she compromised, he would tear a hole that would gradually be ripped wider, yet she couldn't resist...
Madeline dreamed of accomplishing her revenge, having planned for many years to retaliate against the politicians who had wronged her and her mother.
So far, except for her own capture, everything else was still in the planning stages.
Now an enemy was saying they had the same interests, which made her waver.
Joe Ga had the talent to identify common interests amid complex relationships, even when facing an enemy.
'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' is a bit of nonsense, an enemy always remains an enemy.
But why can't 'mutual cooperation for a win-win' be cooperation with an enemy to face other enemies?
"Miliband, Scarlett, the Iron Lady Mrs. Miles..."
"Miliband is the Labour Party's whip, a member of the Shadow Cabinet; Scarlett is the director of the Military Intelligence, and the Iron Lady, Mrs. Miles, is the Deputy Director in charge of managing field agents."
England was tired of the endless wars, the establishment of the European Union saw a flood of refugees from Eastern Europe, and Germany leveraged its industrial and Euro currency advantage to reap a harvest within the EU, leaving England at a disadvantage.
So, they engaged in secret negotiations with Gaddafi, offering four miniature nuclear Detonators in exchange for his cessation of resistance, to quietly remain a dictator to prevent war from engulfing England and giving them enough time to negotiate with the European Union.
"Miliband was the orchestrator of this, and Scarlett and the Iron Lady were the Executors."
"Which of these three do you think you can handle?" he asked.
Facing the temptation offered by Joe Ga, Madeline eventually compromised, but the three people she revealed were indeed hard to deal with.
Joe Ga wasn't too familiar with England's political structure and had never even heard of Scarlett and the Iron Lady.
However, he did have some recollection of Miliband and the Shadow Cabinet, and he had seen news about the internal differences within England.
Since joining the EU, the English felt they had suffered unfairly!
In the past, they had always positioned themselves as a bridge between the USA and Europe. Now England was tired of the EU's encroachments, with a vast number of refugees and workers from Eastern Europe taking jobs from the English and causing fluctuations in the British Pound due to the Euro.
Bear in mind, England is the world's leading foreign exchange center, where all the big shots wanted by various countries and princes from the Middle East liked to spend big money. Why?
Because it has the largest money laundering channels in the world.
The British Pound faced a challenge and wobbled, causing deep pain to England.
Therefore, Prime Minister Cameron, from the beginning of his tenure, initiated negotiations within the European Union.
The general idea was 'wanting rights without obligations.'
That is, they wanted a free market, but not the refugees.
Of course, there was a part about currency policy, but Mr. Ga wasn't an expert and couldn't comprehend it.
Who could agree to this?
After numerous unsuccessful negotiations, voices for 'Brexit' arose within England.
And gradually, the idea of giving up the identity as a bridge between America and Europe and establishing a closer relationship with America emerged.
Setting aside personal standings, the fact that every family has its problems is indeed true.
England disregarded France's core interests, sent out four nuclear Detonators, but still couldn't prevent war from breaking out, and in the end, they got involved to protect their own interests.
Then due to the civil war in Liberia, the Detonators went missing, and it's likely that someone inside England heard something and wanted to find the items and eliminate future troubles, hence Madeline's Undercover mission.
But then, things still went wrong...
Joe Ga didn't rush to answer Madeline's question; instead, he sent the three names to Thompson, as he needed more detailed information to decide what to do.
All three are heavyweights, basically equivalent to the Speaker of the House, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Director of the CIA in the United States.
There's no way to bring them down without solid evidence, just relying on the testimony of a defector and a phone recording of an agent won't get you anything.
They could turn hostile at any moment. While they publicly cry foul, they'd use their more considerable influence to clamp down on the media, and then make Joe Ga look bad.
Retaliation turning into political oppression is not acceptable. P·B can't withstand it!
But one of the three must die!
Previously in America, strictly speaking, it was Frester obeying Harlotte's orders, carrying out the task to kill the Messenger, and 'accidentally' hurting Boss Qiao.
At that time, they didn't even realize the existence of P·B and regarded P·B and Boss Qiao as insignificant nobodies.
This alone enraged Boss Qiao so much that he went on a killing spree; not only did Frester nearly lose his life, he was thrown in jail for half a year.
Now, Boss Qiao can't catch Harlotte's trail at the moment, but he has normalized retaliation. Whenever he gets the chance, he takes a jab at Harlotte from thin air, gradually undermining his influence and always ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Now this bunch of English bastards clearly want Joe Ga dead, even sending a team to intercept them in Northern Italy.
If you can't respond with a firm hand to such obvious targeting, once others think P·B is easy to bully, the conflict will never end.
Because P·B now represents too many interests, if you don't show a strong hand, the attitude of the guests Joe Ga the 'Chef' invites to dinner in the future may not be so amicable.
If the 'Chef' shows weakness, the 'Guests' will demand more!
This is something Joe Ga absolutely cannot accept!
Thompson was quick in his action, and collecting the profiles of mainstream politicians wasn't hard. One couldn't find any dirty secrets, but career histories and political orientations were all too easy.
Within just ten minutes, Joe Ga received a brief introduction to the situation.
As the car stopped in a rural wilderness, Joe Ga squinted at the information for a while, and after pondering, he stepped out of the car and looked at Dorian approaching with a bag of animal medicine, smiling, "Clean out Madeline Parker's bowels, and remember not to miss the tracker. We can create a surprise with it."
Dorian certainly didn't want to be searching for things in a crazy woman's excrement. He glanced around, slapped the bag of medicine into Frester's arms, and seriously said, "Did you hear what the boss said?"
Frester wasn't offended. He gestured to two CIA field agents to come over and handed them the medicine bag, saying, "Carry out the order!"
The two CIA field agents looked at each other, holding back a bellyful of curses, and took the medicine bag. They poured the yellow powder into six bottles of mineral water. After shaking them vigorously, they dragged the weakened Madeline from the car and into a small grove.
Watching the agents forcefully insert the water bottles into Madeline's mouth and then pinch her nose, Joe Ga could hear Madeline's anguished whimpers from more than ten meters away…
Then, a few minutes later, a series of crackling noises began...
The rush of such a torrent made both agents involuntarily jump back and swear.
Curiously, Joe Ga glanced at Dorian and asked, "What exactly is the medicine you bought?"
Dorian spread his hands and said, "Laxative, but supposedly it's for cattle. I bet that within half an hour, Madeline will have emptied her guts out."
Looking at the unbothered Dorian, Joe Ga laughed and gave him a thumbs up, "Elephant, you have a talent for cruelty. I think you'll surpass Dragon Gecko one day and get to level 21 in salary.
Then you'll be number one among P·B's soldiers!"
Dorian, hearing this, glanced involuntarily at Karman and then chuckled, "Actually, I think being the second, no, third, no, fourth in command isn't bad either."
Joe Ga laughed heartily, patted Dorian on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about what others think. I have high hopes for you!"
As they were speaking, Joe Ga patted Dorian on the shoulder again, then led Frester to the side and said, "You're one of us, so I won't keep you in the dark about my actions.
I've just received news that the English have sent a team to intercept us in northern Italy.
Do you have any thoughts?"
After hearing this, Frester pondered for a moment and then said, "We must maintain a northerly course; otherwise, France may panic and do something foolish.
Sir, I don't know what you plan to do, but I think the best course of action for now is to take the initiative and move north.
I'll carry the tracker in plain sight while you deal with the ambushers in the shadows. The English can't cause too much of an uproar in Italy, so they won't send many people.
You'll certainly be able to handle them, and if you capture one or two alive, I reckon it will be even more advantageous for whatever it is you're planning to do."
Leaning toward Joe Ga and speaking softly after a few steps, Frester added, "Sir, as long as the Detonator is not installed in a nuclear weapon, it won't be fatal to the English.
If you're thinking of using it as a bargaining chip in negotiations, I don't think it will be very effective.
They're so anxious because the business with the Detonator didn't go through the Parliament and Cabinet. If exposed, the resultant political fallout would make those three accountable.

Boss, let me be frank, even if exposed, it wouldn't be fatal to Miliband, given the English intentions.
You need to be prepared for that!"
