King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 608 - 582 The Whereabouts of the Bomb

In the cabin, the unattended Madeline sat on the couch like a puppet, numbly staring at a wall.

By now, the light of hatred had vanished from her eyes, leaving only emptiness and numbness.

The Iron Lady's revelation that her mother wasn't dead had completely shattered her.

For her mother, she had chosen to rebel, only to find now that even her hatred was based on a lie.

Such a blow is something the average person simply cannot bear!

The stronger a person's inner strength, the less able they are to withstand such a subversive shock.

Madeline still hated the Iron Lady and the people behind her, but the news that her mother was still alive made her conflicted and in pain.

All the training she had received in the past was to protect national interests; when her hatred faded due to the Iron Lady's death, her sense of duty became a poison that caused her immense pain.

Joe Ga observed Madeline's state and couldn't help but marvel at how the Iron Lady perfectly understood her subordinates' psychology.

She had a way to drive you mad, to make you suffer, and in the end, to make you act as she wished.

Joe Ga sat on the sofa next to Madeline, propped his legs up on the coffee table, stretched his arms back in a lazy yawn, sighed comfortably, and then said, "I'm not a psychologist, I'm not interested in what's going on in your mind right now, I just want to know if you are willing to cooperate."

It took Madeline a few seconds for her gaze to refocus. She looked at Joe Ga and said bitterly, "I won't betray Amal!"

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "You still haven't grasped the situation...

We don't need you to betray Amal. The British have his contact information; all they have to do is give him your address, and Amal will show up."

As he spoke, Joe Ga handed Madeline a cell phone and said with a smile, "If you truly love Amal, then you should give him a call, let him have a chat with me."

Madeline looked at Joe Ga and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "I'm giving you a chance. If you really love each other, then hand over the chemical bomb and tell me the clues to the dirty bomb. I can persuade the others to spare your lives.

As for whether you continue as terrorists or find some picturesque place to live in seclusion, I don't care.

If you don't agree, I'll just have to let the British start their entrapment plan.

As a professional, you should know that process will be very complicated and that many will die as a result.

I've seen your record; the terrorist attacks you orchestrated killed many innocents and gave the British many excuses to use force in Liberia.

This ridiculous consequence of hatred based on illusions must stop; killing more innocents cannot dissolve your hatred.

Now the British will pay for your past actions; if you cannot seize this opportunity, there will be no place for you in this world."

"MI6 has protected your mother very well. Guess what will happen to your mother if you die?

When all the major newspapers publish your photo, telling everyone you're a crazy bitch, what will your mother think?"

Saying this, Joe Ga stretched lazily and said with a smile, "While the chemical bomb is still in your hands, negotiating is the best choice!"

Madeline clenched the phone tightly, glared at Joe Ga, and said, "How can I trust you? Those people have no honor..."

Joe Ga knew Madeline was yielding; what she needed now was assurance...

But of course, he couldn't provide that assurance, so he pressed his radio and said, "Did you all hear that? Come in; I think we can negotiate a reasonable solution."

Several minutes later, Thompson, Tony, Isa, and the French 'Fly' hobbled into the cabin on one leg.

Blow Dart was stopped by the Spurs Orange Cat at the door, and the group jovially teased him about his crutches, curious if he'd had any romantic encounters lately...

The 'Fly' was utterly disgusted with Madeline and loathed her British peer Isa even more.

Now that Boss Qiao had kicked the ball to his feet, he had to come up with an answer...

"Tell me the location of the chemical bomb, and I'll provide you with a new identity. Then you can get the hell out of my sight, and never show up in Europe again..."

Isa watched Madeline with an ambiguous smile and said in a deep voice, "Clarify the whereabouts of the dirty bomb and get Amal to hand over the Detonator, and I'll arrange a boat to send you to India."

Joe Ga saw Madeline suddenly turn her gaze to him; he spread his hands and said, "You see, I'm of no use here; I don't call the shots.

However, you can call Amal right now, and I assure you no one will trace the call.

Once you've discussed and are satisfied, you can give me an answer. If you want to go to war, I'll accompany you till the end. No matter the outcome, I'll take you down piece by piece.

If you want to surrender, of course, I'd be happy to see that."

I'll give you twenty minutes to contact Amal and work out a way you both are satisfied with.

If you don't give me a precise response in twenty minutes, then I can only say I'm sorry..."

Madeline looked at Joe Ga hesitantly for a long time, but ultimately decided to make the video call...

When the call connected, the screen showed a handsome curly-haired man.

"Madeline, how are you now? Where are you, I'll come to you..."

Seeing the man on the screen, tears immediately overflowed Madeline's eyes...

"Amal, do you remember where we first met?"

The Amal on the screen hesitated, then nodded heavily and said, "I remember!"

Madeline smiled happily and said, "Amal, take those detonators up there and wait for me, I'll come to find you..."

As she spoke, Madeline glanced at 'Fly' and Isa beside her before suddenly raising her voice, "Amal, hurry, go there and wait for me..."

"FUCK!"

'Fly' cursed loudly, pulling out his pistol and pointing it at Madeline's head, shouting, "There are no bombs in Amal's hands; you crazy woman, tell me the location of the bombs..."

'Fly' reacted extremely quickly, whereas Joe Ga took a couple of turns to realize what was happening.

Madeline's urging Amal to run wasn't just out of concern; more importantly, Amal didn't have the chemical bombs, only a few detonators.

She wanted her lover to be the first to escape the vortex, grabbing the last bargaining chip to negotiate for her own chance to survive.

Watching 'Fly' getting desperately frustrated, Joe Ga said with amusement, "Mate, aren't you overreacting a bit? What do the detonators have to do with us?

Madeline acting this way means she's at least willing to hand over the chemical bomb.

I really hadn't realized before that she was the mastermind.

No wonder Amal came to Military Intelligence and initially used the detonators as a bargaining chip; turns out, he had no clue where the chemical bombs were."

Upon hearing this, Isa looked at Joe Ga with a wistful expression and said, "Sir, the detonators are important to us."

Upon hearing that, Joe Ga waved his hand dismissively and said, "Give me a break, it was important to keep the detonators secret. Once they're exposed, they're not important anymore, at least not right now.

Two chiefs of the British Military Intelligence have already died; what can your allies do to you now?

Detonators are not nuclear weapons, you have plenty of time!"

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Madeline and said, "You should be satisfied now, time to give us an answer.

Your hatred is a facade, so revenge is meaningless to you."

Madeline, upon hearing that, ignored 'Fly's' gun pointing at her and glanced at the time on her phone; she then said, "According to my plan, you have about forty hours left.

One of the bombs has already made it to Monaco, and I was planning to detonate it on the last day of the Monte Carlo F1 Grand Prix.

Today is the 26th; you have approximately 40 hours to find it."

"Shit!"

'Fly,' on hearing that, decisively made a call and loudly said, "Monaco, there's a bomb in Monaco; they plan to detonate it on the last day in Monte Carlo."

Joe Ga glanced at 'Fly' who was anxious and seemed on the verge of madness. He looked at Madeline with a smile and said, "You bomb France if you must, but what grudge do you hold against Monaco?"

Madeline, who seemed to have suddenly relaxed, said with a pursed smile, "Because I knew that France's ports would be under martial law, making it very difficult to enter the country from there.

Monaco is easier, and they have enough influence to put pressure on France to push the British into negotiating with me."

Joe Ga nodded slowly and said, "So you never intended to drag Amal into this. It's the real terrorists who have control over the bombs.

Can't you contact them now?"

Madeline shook her head and said, "I prefer to call them 'jihadists' because they pursue things you wouldn't understand.

I can't contact them because, according to my original plan, I should have been in London with a car bomb, taking some hostages to force the British government to negotiate with me."

'Fly', upon hearing that, hung up the phone and slapped Madeline across the face, shouting loudly, "You mad woman, do you realize what you've done?"

Madeline didn't retaliate; she chuckled lightly, touched her swelling cheek, and said, "I know, I should respect those people so that they would cooperate with me.

You never respected them, and that's led to the situation we have now.

You have about 38 hours, your opponent is not me..."

'Fly' was so furious he almost ground his teeth to bits, knowing only the final bombing location, which caused him huge trouble in his work.

If it's not handled properly and the terrorists detonate the bomb early, all their efforts will have been in vain.

'Fly,' suppressing his desire to kill, said word by word, "Where is the other bomb?"

Madeline, ignoring the murderous look in 'Fly's' eyes, looked at Joe Ga and said, "The other bomb should now be in Austria.

My original plan was to transport the bomb by train from Vienna to Frankfurt and detonate it.

I was only responsible for setting the timetable and route; how they would carry it out was up to them. If you move fast enough, you might be able to intercept it before it gets on the train."

Joe Ga, seeing 'Fly' looking his way, spread his hands and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

'Fly' said with a grave expression, "Hu Lang, the British can't be relied upon, and we can't alert the Austrian officials either, as we're not sure if there are leaks among them.

I don't have enough manpower, so..."

Joe Ga, with a laugh, said, "I'm short on manpower too, and I'm not familiar with Austria."

Upon hearing this, Isa suddenly spoke up, "The SAS outside need a chance, Hu Lang, and we can provide intel support.

You should trust that our stance is unified on this matter!"

Joe Ga, stroking his chin and looking at Isa, hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Let's take a look then, but let me be clear upfront, I'm only responsible for the fight. If you can't find the bomb's location and it explodes, don't blame me!"
