Chapter 280: Must Be More Serious!
Joe Ga had a complicated feeling about those two boys; he didn't dislike them, but using them gave him a sense of 'guilt'.
It wasn't the guilt of employing child labor that bothered him, but their lack of moral sense—even a sense of life itself—that made Joe Ga very uncomfortable.
They were not old men like Karman; they were still minors.
Their names 'Rick' and 'Phil' were given by Joe Ga, but even when they smiled harmlessly, it couldn't mask the scorn in their eyes.
Yes, 'scorn'!
Unlike Karman, who was indifferent to everything, these two boys maintained a respectful attitude only towards a few, carrying scorn in their eyes for everyone else.
Just like a wolf never respects a sheep!
Rick and Phil had been training near the gold mine for almost half a year, adapting quicker than the recruited forest soldiers, growing faster, more ruthless, and fearless!
Their experiences naturally alienated them from ordinary people.
'Scorn' was due to immaturity, but even though Karman had tried to intervene, their moral and life views were beyond correction.
Their respect for Karman was born from awe; the old man's orders were absolute to them.
Towards Joe Ga, it was respect, a kind of 'mission' instilled in them by Karman.
The only hint of warmth they showed was towards Ayu—who would have thought that the woman recognized by P·B as the ugliest and fiercest was actually the most loving person?
But as for others...
Dorian, annoyed, tugged at the boys' ears and scolded, "Can't you just look someone in the eye? Is my neck that fascinating to you?
Show me some respect, or I'll kick your asses."
While scolding, Dorian smacked the boys' necks and said: "Don't look at those princesses' necks; look them in the eyes. You might think you're wolves, but don't act like mad dogs."
As the two boys curiously eyed a group of princesses, sitting in the passenger seat of the tour vehicle to act as bodyguards, Joe Ga gestured for everyone to get on board but stayed behind himself, shaking hands with the Frenchman 'One-Eye'...
He slipped a check for 300,000 into 'One-Eye's hand, watching him eye Princess Charlene with a greedy gaze, and Joe Ga shook his head, chuckling, "I won't make a mistake, but why do I feel you're a bit more dangerous?"
'One-Eye,' upon hearing this, straightened his face and seriously said, "Every man should strive to protect Princess Charlene with all his might. I am just fulfilling the duty of a Frenchman, and even if I can stop that bastard from Monaco for a second, it's a success."
Joe Ga didn't know how the King of Monaco had offended the Frenchman, but he didn't care; the 'Iron Wall Mercenary Corps' was hired specifically to take care of Princess Charlene's security.
After all, Charlene had come here through official diplomatic channels, and having accepted the king's money, Joe Ga had to provide the corresponding service.
Now only six members were left in the 'Iron Wall Mercenary Corps,' which included two retired French agents, familiar with high-level security.
Security wasn't actually the most important issue, it was more about supporting the princess's presence, attracting media attention, and leveraging her media effect.
Just like celebrities, whether or not someone wants to harm them, they need to be surrounded.
This was what Joe Ga had previously discussed with Charlene; after all, the princess was 'invited' to Africa and couldn't just do nothing.
The Swedish Royal family did not have this kind of pressure.
After introducing 'One-Eye' to Charlene and letting them get acquainted, Joe Ga pointed to the airport exit hall, laughing: "We've still got to deal with the media over there. Ndele's park manager is already waiting, and my assistant Linda has arranged everything.
You'll need to talk to them, ideally introduce our park's upcoming new plans, and our plans to capture Namo.
For the next week, you'll need to participate in activities organized by Ndele and the airport animal protection fund, but after that, you are free."
Joe Ga's tone, almost like he was treating the princess as non-essential personnel, involuntarily made Charlene roll her eyes.
Facing Joe Ga's apologetic look, Charlene suddenly said, "If the Monaco Royal Family suddenly sends someone to take me back, what would you do?"
Joe Ga thought for a moment and said, "First, they would have to get to Ndele, and then into the animal protection center.
As long as you don't answer their calls, they won't be able to see you, so what can they do?"
Saying this, Joe Ga looked at 'One-Eye,' whose face was flushed with excitement, and laughed: "I believe 'One-Eye' wouldn't let anyone with ill intentions get close to you.
Trust me, here in Ndele, as long as you wish, you are a free person.
Whenever you need, the African Union can once again invite you to 'come home for a visit.' The public welfare here needs someone like you."
Charlene, excited, hugged Joe Ga forcefully and said, "Thank you!"
Charlene was a bit excited, so her arms were slightly forceful, and Joe Ga could only slightly bend down to accommodate her action.
Giving a wink to 'One-Eye' who was about to freak out with jealousy, Joe Ga gently patted the Princess on the shoulder and said, "Madam, I understand your feelings, but I forgot to tell you, Nis is a sniper who can blow up a head from 1500 meters away, you're making this difficult for me."
Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Charlene who had released from the hug. He noticed the uncontrollable flashlights at the exit hall, pulled out a pair of large sunglasses, put them on his face, and then said with a smile, "I won't accompany you anymore, otherwise I'm going to become the public enemy of French men."
Charlene, whose mood had suddenly become excellent, laughed heartily and rushed onto the tour bus, persuading Crown Princess Victoria to join her for a park station appearance.
The careless Princess searched around but couldn't find her daughter, Briella. So, she grabbed her son, Jacques, to act as a prop and walked towards the airport exit hall under the escort of 'One-Eye' and a few other security personnel.
Joe Ga watched the two ladies walk away, looked at Dorian squeezing over making faces, and said, "Do you think if I had placed my hand on the Princess's butt just now, I might have made the headlines tomorrow?"
Dorian gave a thumbs up, seriously saying, "Boss, I think you could! Nis is MSL, she wouldn't mind you having a few more Princesses."
Joe Ga chuckled 'heh heh', just about to say something when he felt someone tugging at his pants.
Looking down, he saw Charlene's daughter, little Princess Briella. Joe Ga's face stiffened, slightly embarrassed he said, "What are you doing here?"
With her nose wrinkled and lips puffed, Briella said fiercely, "Cheetah, I just heard it, you want to touch mom's butt."
Joe Ga was too late to cover the little girl's mouth. Looking at the people around him watching with weird glances, then continuing their previous activities 'naturally' when he swept his gaze over them...
Sighing, Joe Ga crouched down and looked at the fierce Briella, saying, "Okay, what do you want now?"
Briella, holding Joe Ga's hand and pointing at Tong Tong trying to push a small rhino onto the vehicle, angrily said, "You help me hit her; she won't let me feed the baby rhino."
Joe Ga glanced at Tong Tong, then helplessly spread his hands and said, "Us folks in the martial world can't meddle with the grudges between children, but I can introduce you to a little cheetah to play with, does that work for you?"
Saying this, he watched Briella who was still somewhat dissatisfied. He smacked his lips and said, "When we get back, I'll introduce you to Danbao, he's the world's cutest baby elephant, much more fun than that ugly monster."
Briella looked at Joe Ga, corners of her mouth twitching, and said, "Then can you help me take a picture?"
"No problem!"
"I also want to post on social media. Tong Tong said she gets lots of likes; I want some too."
Joe Ga blinked at the little princess and finally nodded vigorously, saying, "I'll have some social media accounts set up for you, and in a few days, you'll have millions of followers.
Then you'll be in charge of live streaming merchandise sales, even selling bananas could make you a millionaire."
Briella's eyes widened as she looked at Joe Ga and said, "Really?"
Joe Ga shook his head with a chuckle and said, "I'm not sure, but the followers will definitely be real..."
Briella didn't wait for Joe Ga to finish, urgently pulling at his hand and saying, "Do I need to prepare a gift for Danbao? Does Danbao like dolls?
I only brought one doll this time; if I give it to him, will he want to be friends with me?"
Joe Ga, finding it a bit hard to deal with the little girl, grabbed a passing little cheetah, stuffed it into Briella's arms, and then, seeing her attention shift a little, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll prepare some bananas for you, and you can say that they are your gifts to Danbao, he will definitely like you a lot."

Watching Briella sitting on the ground, hugging the cheetah's neck and bursting into a series of happy giggles, Joe Ga took out his phone and spontaneously snapped a few photos...
Thinking he might not be the right person for managing social media accounts, Joe Ga secretly took out a new phone and then gestured at his brother, saying, "Download a few social accounts for our little princess, Twitter, Weibo, TikTok, and all that.
Our little princess likes getting likes; you teach her how, okay?"
Qiao Liang, hearing this, pointed at his nose and said, "Ah? Me?"
Joe Ga matter-of-factly said, "Of course you, you're a college student; can't you handle this little thing?"
After that, Joe Ga stood up and went to find Karman, saying, "Did you get a fix on Namo and Arthur's location yet?
I need to sort them out early, then head to the United States."
Karman nodded and said, "Looks like you're back to work with a passion!"
Joe Ga sighed and nodded, saying, "I have to be serious, a lot of people depend on me for their livelihood."
