King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 854 - 767: The Missing Focusing Bomb

Joe Ga finished calls with several key figures, then began to call his media friends.

Thanks to Princess Tuoaemina's blessing, Boss Joe actually knew quite a few influential journalists.

For instance, the famous war correspondent Wallace, and America's top opinion journalist, Marlin Stewart, who helped a small town secure nearly a billion US Dollars in compensation from the Koch Brothers.

They were all old friends. Wallace gained immense honor from an article he wrote about the diamond industry in Nora City, Central Africa.

Now, still under Boss Joe's sponsorship, he's in Tubruq writing a paper, preparing to move on to Iraq after publishing.

With the influence to clear the front page of the New York Post at any time, he could be of great help.

Marlin Stewart was even more impressive, a media mogul who could meet with the current White House resident at any moment due to hot issues, and even the sitting brother had to be cautious with her.

Her relationship with Boss Joe was average, but she was a member of the 'sisterhood' including the Devil Bird girls.

Princess Amina sought the United Nations' support for the 'Safety Zone' while in America, and this big shot helped a lot!

Of course, as media journalists, when P·B is doing the right thing, their reports not only help expand P·B's influence but also add to their own glory.

This time, Boss Joe asked them for a small favor, and they agreed very readily!

They trust Boss Joe's credit, believing that Joe wouldn't let friends fall into awkward situations.

After many collaborations, this was their conclusion!

No need for excessive assurances, just the truth of the matter and the effect Boss Joe needed, and they could handle it themselves.

Sitting on the curb after finishing the last call, Joe Ga noticed that FBI's Lesler had two wads of paper stuffed in his nostrils, circling the van like a trapped beast...

He had been here a long time, but Ayu wouldn't let him anywhere near the 'working' boss, so he could only loop around the exterior.

Now seeing Boss Joe hang up and stand up stretching, Lesler hurried over...

As he ran, the paper wads from Lesler's nose were blown out, combined with the nosebleeds and the big blister on his mouth, he looked particularly comical.

"sir, aside from those two people, have you found anything else?"

Joe Ga looked at Lesler, who was anxiously peering past Ayu and gestured with his hand to wipe his face, then patted the rear door of the van and said, "You've noticed too, right?

The explosive charges in the room could be four instead of three..."

Once Lesler heard this, after hastily wiping his face and mouth, he said, "Exactly, our people found traces of a fourth explosive charge storage when inspecting the room.

Sir, if you had noticed earlier, shouldn't you have told me?"

Joe Ga frowned and said, "Tell you what? An unclear mark doesn't explain anything.

And with a five-block radius sealed off, your manpower is lacking, why would I add to the trouble?

I roamed the perimeter to verify my own thoughts.

I thought I was correct, but as you can see, there was no explosive charge in the van."

Lesler anxiously loosened his tie, took off his jacket and vigorously wiped his nose, then looked at Joe Ga and said, "sir, our equipment detected explosive residue in the van, maybe they hid the explosive charge somewhere else.

The power it holds is immense, if we can't find it, if it explodes..."

Joe Ga had actually realized there was a problem while he was upstairs because he saw the traces of a fourth bomb on the ground.

'Hellhound' and company were warriors, not detectives, and in such tense environment with poor lighting, they wouldn't pay close attention to the quantity; moreover, the fervent terrorist attack naturally led them to believe they had hit the terrorist weakness.

Joe Ga wasn't particularly certain, but being responsible, he let the others return first and wandered the perimeter with Dorian and Ayu.

If there really was a fourth shaped charge, the terrorists wouldn't let such an important item be too far from them.

That also meant that after 'Hellhound' launched their attack, the bomb couldn't have gone far, as the area had been sealed off.

Initially just a guess, Joe Ga surprisingly found it, and took possession of it...

Such a charge, dismantled from a heavy torpedo, able to sink a warship, was truly a weapon of mass destruction...

With this device in hand, Joe Ga could use it for many things.

Creating a tense atmosphere, magnifying the role of P·B, was just the most basic...

This device naturally bore the 'signature' of a weapon, as long as it exploded, it would look like ISIS' doing.

This trip to America, Joe Ga felt a different kind of pressure.

Because he had significant demands, not just limited to making money.

He had powerful enemies now, so he needed means that could keep him out of the fray.

Mercenaries are best at creating death!

Boss Joe now had higher stakes, his dealings in the grey area began to increase, being outright righteous was no longer sufficient, so covert measures were needed.

It's like the terrorists knew what Boss Joe needed, offering their lives in gifting Joe Ga with a big present.

Looking at Lesler with blisters all over his mouth, Joe Ga shook his head sympathetically and said, "Buddy, we're not sure if there's a fourth big bomb, a mere circular trace on the ground is not enough.

Perhaps both your guess and mine are wrong!"

I'm not certain whether all of the terrorists have been killed, but now you have ample reason to detain everyone in that building and screen them one by one.

So what if one or two terrorists slipped through the net?

Now that the children have been rescued and we find their parents, we can basically understand the terrorists' plans.

And I've seen those bombs upstairs; they have a charge of 30 kilograms, weighing up to 50 kilograms, impossible for one or two people to handle.

To utilize those devices, not only do you need professionals, but at least four people.

Do the terrorists still have so many people?

I highly doubt it!

In the worst-case scenario, you can also block signals around the venue...

Those people needed to abduct children and coerce mothers into becoming human bombs; they don't have the courage to detonate the bombs themselves. Without signals, they wouldn't even be able to detonate bombs from a safe location.

Even if there were explosions elsewhere, how many people would die?"

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Lesler, whose nose had started bleeding again, shook his head, and said, "Buddy, you're under too much pressure. If I were you, I would have a thorough search done in the vicinity.

Even if the bomb does indeed exist, it can't get past your blockade."

Lesler knew Joe Ga was right; making a big fuss without certainty was just asking for trouble.

Lesler, gradually regaining his composure after thinking for a while, said, "Sir, I know that we can't demand too much from the P·B on such matters.

But I feel the Department of Homeland Security should be responsible...

The FBI doesn't have enough manpower, the Department of Homeland Security should actively intervene in this situation, right?"

Joe Ga looked at Lesler, who had finally lost some of his edge, nodded and smiled, "Precisely, you should get in touch with the folks from Homeland Security.

P·B's job is killing; we have already completed our mission beyond expectation.

Moreover, I am ready to step forward and take the heat for excessive use of force; you can't ask too much of me.

Have you considered that, as long as the gathering the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow, goes smoothly, the New Jersey case is pretty much closed?

This bomb could be a separate case!

Trust me, your boss would definitely welcome this suggestion, because he is the primary person responsible!"

When Lesler heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around to instruct his associate, "Notify the New Jersey police to conduct a thorough search of the surroundings.

Set up surveillance in the vicinity, keeping an eye on all suspicious locations.

We need large signal jammers, and enough bomb-sniffing dogs to extend the security perimeter of the venue by two blocks, check all passing vehicles; tomorrow's gathering must not encounter any issues."

Dorian glanced at Lesler, who was busy with his duties, then turned to Joe Ga and asked, "Boss, is there really a fourth focused explosion bomb?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Who knows?

But it's not strange to have some heavy weapons in a dangerous place like America."

Speaking of which, Joe Ga dusted off his pants and said with a smile, "Let's go, take a rest. I still have to have a chat with Howard.

If he can't give me some good news, I'll dig a hole in the farm and bury him right there."

Hearing this, Dorian laughed and said, "Boss, that means our job here is done, right?"

Joe Ga shrugged and said with a smile, "Done? We're nowhere near done.

We still have an ISIS 'propaganda line' in our hands; I need to dig them out to officially close this contract.

But in the meantime, we have to take down that Black Hand Yuri.

Some people I can't touch, but Black Hand must die!

I said I'd avenge Eric; I have to see it through!"

After hearing this, Dorian nodded and said, "I got it; looks like my date will have to be postponed for a while."

Upon hearing that, Joe Ga said curiously, "A date? What date? You've actually found a woman?"

Saying this, Joe Ga suddenly added, "Is she someone you met at Howard Estate?

Buddy, take my advice, a girl willing to do all sorts of nonsense with you in the restroom is not right for you..."

Dorian listened, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Not her, she was just too scared that day; I just helped her clean off the brain matter splashed on her in the restroom.

She's married, but she wants to introduce her sister to me..."

Joe Ga looked at Dorian in shock and said, "Can't you say something I'd believe?

You get so weak-kneed just from helping someone clean clothes?

After you've had your fun, she even wants to make you her brother-in-law; I have to meet this bizarre girl, I'm damn curious..."

Dorian spread his hands and said, "That's high society for you!

I did say, I'm actually quite a charming man!"
