King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga looked in the direction Tong Tong was pointing and saw two white convertible off-road vehicles on the savannah, chasing a male lion, followed by a local jeep carrying two armed security personnel.

Inside the white off-road vehicles were several individuals dressed in white robes with headscarves, clearly identifiable as tycoons from the Middle East.

It was evident these tycoons were engaging in exclusive hunting, and the male lion was their chosen prey.

While their hunting method was somewhat odd, relentlessly trying to ram the male lion with their off-road vehicles in what appeared to be an act of venting, as the owner of a guide company, it was not his place to criticize the hunting behavior of these tycoons.

Just as he was about to explain their actions, a tycoon in a headscarf in one of the off-road vehicles fired a shot that took down the male lion and triumphantly raised his arms in cheer.

Despite not hearing the gunshot from the plane, the sight of the male lion that was running just moments ago suddenly collapsing alerted Tong Tong and the others to something.

The girl covered her mouth in shock and discomfort, asking, "Why would they shoot a lion?"

Joe Ga fell silent for a moment, then said, "There is no why. The Maasai hunt lions to protect their cattle, while these people do it to show off their power or to vent their emotions."

"Isn't that illegal?"

Joe Ga shook his head, replying, "I'm not sure. If it were in Central Africa, it would definitely be illegal for these people to hunt lions without my consent, but unfortunately, this is Kenya, and those are Middle Eastern tycoons."

As Joe Ga patiently explained to Tong Tong, Qiao Liang suddenly exclaimed, "Look, are they aiming their guns at us?"

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga glanced at the altimeter before curiously checking to see what kind of madman would shoot at a plane.

To his surprise, the white-robed tycoons, who had seemed somewhat normal before, now stood on the seats of their off-road vehicles like drug-fueled madmen, firing various weapons towards the sky.

Joe Ga's brow furrowed as he pulled up the nose of the plane and climbed a hundred meters to reach an altitude of five hundred meters. He then circled slightly to see the tycoons, who seemed to have claimed victory, shamelessly firing shots at the motionless lion on the ground, creating a devastating mess of the lion's carcass.

Joe Ga didn't know what these tycoons were trying to prove, but he was getting angry.

It was one thing for these guys to come to Africa for a wild party or to hunt, but why shoot at "me"?

While everyone knew the shots wouldn't hit, Joe Ga's aggressive nature wouldn't allow him to simply walk away.

Picking up the young princess, he handed her over to Princess Charlene, and with a grave expression, he said, "Go back and sit down, I'm going to take another spin."

Talking to Qiao Liang, he said, "Go to the back cabin, and on the overhead luggage rack at the last seat, there's a backpack. Bring it to me."

Without a word, Qiao Liang ran to the back cabin and quickly returned with a tactical camo backpack.

As Joe Ga was about to ask the unrelated bystanders to leave, Charlene yanked the zipper of the camo bag open.

Seeing the cylindrical smoke grenades, gas grenades, and flashbang grenades inside, Charlene immediately understood what Joe Ga had in mind.

The punk-haired princess, eager to beat Qiao Liang to it, took the co-pilot's seat.

After tucking her daughter next to Tong Tong with a gesture to ask for her help watching over the child, Charlene picked a gas grenade first and forcefully opened the plane's window.

Even Tong Tong, who might have been clueless, now realized what Joe Ga had in mind!

With one arm wrapped around Briella, who was curiously trying to lean forward, and the other holding onto Qiao Liang, she called out to Joe Ga with a nervous yell, "Brother, this isn't right; you could hurt someone and set a bad example for the kids... "

Joe Ga turned around and saw that the princess was getting blown around and could hardly stand, so he lifted the little girl onto his lap, fastened the white helmet on her head, then smiled at Tong Tong and said, "Don't worry, she isn't my child anyway."

Then, looking at Charlene who was rolling her eyes, he commanded, "Here we go, throw... "

With clear experience, Charlene skillfully pulled the pin from the gas grenade before reaching out the window to furiously throw it.

As the gas grenade released a pale yellow smoke in mid-air, Tong Tong understood it wasn't like the grenades in the movies, and she immediately relaxed.

Watching the smoke grenade create a large cloud of smoke upon impact causing a moment of chaos amongst the frenzied tycoons, Tong Tong excitedly yelled at Charlene, "Throw more, throw them off..."

With good-natured compliance, Charlene threw a flashbang grenade toward the ground...

The flashbang wasn't very effective in the open field, and Charlene's aim was off, but the loud bang and flash still scared the tycoons enough to start their vehicles and attempt to flee.

Joe Ga's favorite gas grenades were thrown next, two at a time, taking the advantage of the wind's direction.

The drug-altered tycoons drove straight into the area covered by the gas, and after the vehicles traveled a few hundred meters, the people on top were vomiting as they pushed open the doors and staggered along the savannah, chasing their 'ideal' into the wind.

As Joe Ga kept circling with the plane, Charlene dropped the last flashbang grenade toward the ground, landing near the lion's carcass, and following the loud explosion and flash, the area below went completely silent.

Watching the Middle Eastern tycoons scramble across the savannah, covering their ears, Charlene rolled up the window, cheered with her hands raised in excitement, and then after standing up to high-five with Tong Tong and Qiao Liang, she said, "Those bastards are idle good-for-nothings, and they deserved a lesson."

Charlene looked at Joe Ga and said, "Don't worry, if someone comes looking, I'll take responsibility."

Joe Ga was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "What do I have to worry about?

Those guys clearly took too many drugs, could they really see my passport from hundreds of meters away?"

Tong Tong nodded seriously and said, "Right, those guys are all villainous madmen. They shot at us, and I've got it all on camera. We're not afraid even if they call the cops."

Joe Ga was amused by Tong Tong's innocence and nodded earnestly, "Yeah, we're in the right. We're just meting out justice, haha."

Among them, Qiao Liang was the most concerned. After sending the others out of the cockpit, he looked at his big brother with a worried expression, "Bro, are you sure there's no problem?"

Joe Ga waved his hand dismissively, "What problem could there be? Those people act so recklessly, it's clear their brains aren't working right.

I've already informed the Kenyan authorities. Although their actions to attack the plane were stupid, they are indeed a real act of terrorism.

There are thousands of princes and princesses in the Middle East. If their status isn't high enough, I can make them pay from afar."

Qiao Liang looked at Joe Ga incredulously and asked, "What if their status is very high?"

Joe Ga shrugged his shoulders, "If their status were really high, they wouldn't have just two cars and need to use local security.

Even if I'm wrong, it's not a big deal; we can just have a war of words.

Didn't you hear what Princess Charlene said just now? Her image in the eyes of the media is much better than those Shah tycoons.

Those from the Middle Eastern royal families are forever politically incorrect in the eyes of the Western media."

With that, Joe Ga looked at his brother, who still had a worried face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Don't worry, the world isn't as good as you imagine, but it's definitely not as bad as you think it is.

Especially when you have the ability to protect yourself!

Assassins, conspiracies, they definitely exist, but as long as you have the power to make your opponent pay a price, you can make them think twice and ultimately play by the rules.

Xiao Liang, no matter what you do in the future, if you stay on the straight path, you can use the rules to protect yourself, and if worse comes to worst, your bro has got your back!"

Qiao Liang was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Actually, I just feel it's unnecessary; they really didn't do anything to us."

Joe Ga was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, it's better to mind our own business.

But unfortunately, that approach doesn't apply in Africa!

Xiao Liang, I know you're worried about me. I do have some issues.

I'm not quite sure when these started, probably after coming to Africa.

Actually, I've been very scared since I came to Africa, so for a while, I was like a porcupine, lashing out at anyone who touched me. If Uncle Qing hadn't taken care of me, I might have been sent back home long ago.

Now I've improved quite a bit, but I did get a bit impulsive just now. I'll try to restrain myself more in the future."

Seeing his brother looking a bit down, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Bro, I've thought of a joke."

"What is it?"

"An actor asked the director: 'How should I play this scumbag?'

The director looked the actor up and down and said, 'Just rein it in as much as you can.'"

Joe Ga paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Is that from Running Man with the little Cheetah, right?

But I get it, I do have a bit too much of a domineering air about me, I should indeed rein it in, otherwise, I might scare people."

After a long silence, Qiao Liang said, "Bro, it's just the two of us left in our family now.

Mom kept saying she was sorry to you when she passed away...

Bro, there are a lot of things I don't understand, and I don't know what to say..."

Joe Ga could feel his brother's concern and was quite comforted. He placed his hand on Qiao Liang's shoulder and squeezed it earnestly, "There are thousands of people who depend on me for their livelihood now. I have no way back, but you're different...

You just do what you want to do. If you want to invent, invent. If you want to farm, then farm. If it turns out to be a success, that'll straighten the Qiao family's spine for good.

Listen to me, when the time comes, you go back to our hometown, buy back our old house and rebuild it, make it as luxurious as you like...

And when you fix up the road and park a few luxury cars in the yard, I just want to hear what the villagers have to say about how I'm out there committing arson and earning dirty money, haha..."
