King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 1881: 1558: Negotiation
Capítulo 1881: Chapter 1558: Negotiation
Phoenix, escorted by a dozen fully ard ‘Executors,’ slowly descended the stairs…
Seeing Joe Ga standing at the exit of the fire escape, Phoenix resisted the impulse to have his bodyguards raise their guns and take Joe Ga down. He forced a smile and, with the most relaxed deanor he could muster at the mont, walked up to Joe Ga…
Phoenix made a conscious effort not to glance at Ayu, who was nearby. Extending his hand to Joe Ga, he said, “Hello, I’m Phoenix Rothschild. My friends call Phoenix…
Right now, the hospital is a common problem for both of us. I don’t want to see too many innocent people die because of us…
So I think we should have a good talk…
In fact, we’re not really enemies!”
Joe Ga gripped Phoenix’s hand, gradually tightening his grasp. After seeing the handso face before him show signs of pain, he glanced at the ‘Executors’ in the stairwell clutching their gun handles, loosened his grip on Phoenix’s hand, and gestured upwards towards the safety door…
Above the lintel on the inside of the safety door were two Broad Swords fixed with tape…
Phoenix, standing below the lintel, heard nervous breaths behind him. He didn’t look up but fixed his gaze on Joe Ga, saying, “Hu Lang, we’re really not enemies!
But if you have to consider an enemy, then I promise you’ll regret it!”
Joe Ga shook his head noncommittally and said, “You took Jemma and those innocent won and children as hostages and still expect to be polite to you. You’re truly overthinking it!
Let your people put down their guns so that I’ll have any desire to hear what you want to say.”
Phoenix looked into Joe Ga’s eyes and, after a few seconds, waved his hand to signal the ‘Executors’ to lower their guns. He then glanced at Ayu, who remained intensely focused, gestured outward, and said, “Standing here, I don’t feel safe; can we talk outside?”
Joe Ga casually stepped aside, saying, “You can bring two people out with you…”
Phoenix shook his head and said, “I won’t leave my people in the stairwell…
Hu Lang, we’re in the sa situation now. Let my people go outside; they can help secure the first floor.”
Joe Ga sneered and said, “If I really needed help, why wouldn’t I just let those people you have outside co in?
Buddy, it’s you who want to negotiate with now. I have confidence in handling the current situation, but you don’t…
You need to rely on to get out of this situation, so you’re holding no cards.”
Phoenix moved sideways to avoid the bomb overhead, then sowhat excitedly said, “Those people outside are definitely after you. I want to help you…
I’ve contacted several NATO rcenaries, and I have about 60 people outside; together, we can settle those who intend to attack you.”
With that, Phoenix recalled the grievances he suffered today and said unhappily, “Things wouldn’t have turned out this way if it weren’t for your appearance complicating everything.”
Joe Ga watched Big Beard Joseph and another lean middle-aged man follow Phoenix out of the stairwell, smiled, and tapped on the lintel to signal the remaining people not to move…
Then, looking at the sowhat exasperated Phoenix, he smiled and said, “It only feels complex to you; for , it’s just a few more enemies to eliminate…”
As Joe Ga was speaking, Antar suddenly raised his hand and shouted, “Boss, soone is trying to get close to us…”
Joe Ga glanced at the suddenly tense Phoenix, gestured to Antar, and said, “Bomb them…”
After saying that, Joe Ga patted Phoenix on the shoulder, disregarded the extre tension on the faces of the two ‘Executors,’ and dragged him to a position near the hospital lobby…
Joseph, watching Joe Ga’s unguarded back, suppressed the urge to draw his gun with all his might…
Walking beside Joseph, Ayu noticed his twitching fingers and sneered, “Stop daydreaming. Besides boosting your master’s courage, there’s nothing you can do!”
When Joseph was about to refute, a series of explosions occurred around the hospital…
Dozens or even hundreds of drones exploded around the hospital’s buildings and roads, with a few heavy-weight delta-wing drones directly demolishing several buildings, causing massive smoke to rise around the hospital…
Faced with such ferocious bombing, anyone would be scared!
Imagining if he were to attack Boss Joe, he’d face such an overwhelming bombing, Joseph suddenly felt chills down his spine, simultaneously believing he understood where Boss Joe’s confidence ca from…
Turning his back to ard enemies…
The fabled Hu Lang indeed has the qualifications to appear this relaxed because his people can make the enemy pay several tis over.
However, just as Joseph thought he had figured out Boss Joe’s confidence, figures quickly ascended the building under the cover of the smoke outside the hospital.
The Ferryman went to the rooftop, while four old monsters entered a corner storeroom on the fourth floor through the windows.
Joe Ga, dragging the shaken Phoenix, stood in the dangerous hospital hall, watching the terrifying scene outside…
Hearing Phoenix’s slightly rapid breathing, Joe Ga heard a few taps in his earpiece, then smiled as he inhaled the gunpowder-filled air. Looking at Phoenix, he smiled and said, “You see, the enemy outside is aningless to . In fact, if I wanted to leave, those people couldn’t stop at all.”
Speaking, Joe Ga observed Phoenix’s flickering eyes and mockingly said, “Do you still think you have any leverage now?”
Facing Boss Joe’s mockery, Phoenix suddenly ca to his senses…
“Hu Lang, if you think my people are aningless, why are you negotiating?”
Joe Ga didn’t even look at Phoenix, shaking his head and saying, “Buddy, you can just say Jemma is in your hands…
But taking Jemma and a group of won and children hostage is really not an admirable act!
I admit I care about Jemma, but the reason is that Jemma is my friend…
Of course, you must have thought it through when you kidnapped her, you know I’m willing to risk my life for my friends, even if it ans stepping into the vortex of the Russia war.
You’ve succeeded now!”
Joe Ga walked over to a hospital bench, sat down, motioned for Phoenix to sit next to him, and then said, “And then?
I stepped into the Russia battlefield, and then what?
Why is it that you, or the group your family belongs to, must target P.B.?
According to my understanding, those people have been unrestrainedly extracting wealth and power based on the international order established after World War II.
What exactly did P.B. touch upon?”
Phoenix froze for a mont; he felt he had a bargaining chip, so he straightened his body and said, “Haven’t you noticed that the ergence of P.B. has destabilized Arica and England’s geopolitical strategy?
Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia…
These are all within the tolerance range of those old n, and so of them even keep warning us not to confront you directly.
The only thing that makes them uneasy is your intervention in the Arican election, more importantly, you’ve shown the ability to influence dostic politics in Arica…”
Joe Ga paused for a mont and said, “Have I?
I’ve known Big Mouth Tang for less than six months, and that guy just brushed off…”
Phoenix shook his head slightly and said, “It’s not rely about making Big Mouth Tang win the election; what’s important is because of you, even the Democratic and Republican parties have internal conflicts…
That’s why old Bayer was pushed to the front stage…
Because he’s the only one with the ability and prestige to unify the Democratic power.
Honestly, he wasn’t the best candidate…”
Joe Ga, dragging ti, curiously said, “I still don’t understand…”
Phoenix shook his head and said, “The specifics are complicated; I can’t explain it clearly in a few words. I can only tell you, we really don’t harbor much malice towards you.
It’s just that your ‘uncontrollability’ makes many people uneasy!
So soone wants to pull you in, have you stand on the sa front with them…
If you et their demands, they are actually willing to accept you!”
Phoenix looked at Joe Ga with a mix of envy and jealousy and said, “Hu Lang, we really don’t have malice towards you…
As long as you are willing to tilt your stance towards our direction, as long as you can maintain the current trade and settlent mode, we are even willing to ignore your cooperation with the East.
There are many ways to participate in world governance; we hope you choose the simplest one!”
Joe Ga looked at Phoenix, who was showing unprecedented pride while speaking, and suddenly snickered, shaking his head, “Then you really don’t understand !
I’m not the kind who follows others and eats leftovers. Generally, if I want sothing, I strive to get it myself…”
Phoenix noticed the coldness in Joe Ga’s eyes and said cautiously, “What do you want to do?”
Joe Ga spread his hands, suddenly pulled out a gun, and pulled the trigger at his thigh…
“Bang”
“Ah…”
Joseph and another ‘Executor’ watched their boss scream in agony, just as they were about to retaliate, it felt like they were hit by a truck…
The two were picked up like ragdolls by Ayu and slamd heavily against the wall…
anwhile, an explosion occurred in the stairwell…
Two Broad Sword mines exploded, with a massive amount of steel balls covering the entire stairwell, causing heavy casualties among the ‘Executors’.
“You’re crazy…”
Phoenix clutched his thigh as if scalded by an iron, shouting in pain, “You’ll regret this…”
Joe Ga squinted at him, smiled, and said, “Didn’t you notice there’s no radio signal around?”
“So what? Doing this to , Jemma is dood…”
Joe Ga reached out, tapped Phoenix’s face, and said, “You really don’t understand …”
