King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 1009: The Soulful Anteater



The incident in the restaurant quickly spread throughout the entire resort...

There was nothing worth praising about the cause and effect of the matter.

The Shah Strongman envied and resented P.B.'s showcased equipment.

He believed the Brazilian refusal to allow Shah's team advanced weaponry, while indulging P.B.'s heavy weaponry roaming around, was disrespectful to them.

Moreover, Prince Shah's temper wasn't great, and he was deeply dissatisfied with their performance these past few days, placing them under immense pressure, leading to the Strongman's mental breakdown.

Ordinarily, in the military, someone truly powerful would direct their anger at the Brazilian Government, yet this guy chose to target the Anteater, and crashed into a brick wall.

Typically, such matters are quite common within the army, but the Anteater ate the Shah Strongman's ear, changing everyone's perception of the Anteater.

Pulling out an eyeball during a joke was too shocking for those around!

Honestly speaking, the Anteater's appearance wasn't great!

Even if they wore well-fitting military uniforms and held exquisite weaponry, their thin and short stature kept them stuck in the stereotype of the Africa Army in the eyes of outsiders.

However, people outside didn't know that these Anteaters could speak French, Arabic, Sango, and their native ethnic languages.

The majority were semi-literate, still in the learning phase, relying solely on creating deliberate language environments to practice listening and speaking skills.

Thus when they spoke, words tended to pop out one at a time, often resulting in grammatical errors.

Nevertheless, this didn't prevent them from understanding the boss's orders, or from using advanced equipment like the Talus system.

Being illiterate wasn't a problem; memorizing the key functions of the Talus system, albeit with limited use, still left them plenty of time...

Others felt wildly horrified, but Boss Qiao thought it wasn't too bad to have some commotion.

Aligning everyone's thoughts could ease maintaining consistency when facing problems.

Sayyid trusted Boss Qiao immensely in this regard; after watching the incident on his tablet once more, he shivered then stood up to let the other Princes watch it too...

Something so terrifying couldn't be his alone to see!

The innocent provoker, after eating breakfast, found himself paralyzed, ultimately leaving the restaurant disgracefully, supported by his companions.

As the spectators around dissipated, Joe Ga gestured to the Anteater...

"What's your name?"

The Anteater looked into Boss Qiao's eyes and replied, "Boss, my name is Balu..."

Joe Ga nodded slightly, sizing up the skinny Balu, and remarked with an impression of his distinctively short face, "Are you a Bushman?"

Balu nodded and said, "Yes, boss, I am a Bushman, but all my tribesmen starved to death; now I'm an Anteater in P.B..."

Joe Ga wasn't accustomed to Balu's monotone speaking style; he patted Balu's shoulder and said, "You displayed toughness earlier, but try not to eat things randomly in the future, especially things from people's bodies.

Doing so appears frightening, but isn't particularly necessary for us.

You could have just beaten him up, or even stabbed him..."

Balu paused slightly and said, "But our instructor told us that if we can't kill the opponent, we need to thoroughly crush their spirit...

To use controlled violence to deprive them of courage!"

Watching the misguided student Balu, Joe Ga couldn't comprehend how cutting someone's ear and eating it aligns with 'controlled' behavior.

Observing Balu's earnest expression, however, Joe Ga hesitated and ultimately refrained from correcting him.

The Anteaters have their own training system, and meddling might impair these young Anteaters' judgments, which could be fatal!

Looking at Balu's bashful, naive face, Joe Ga chuckled and said, "You are a Bushman, so you surely know how to track.

I'm giving you a task: find yourself a partner and lead some Middle Easterners into the jungle this afternoon, see if you can find any drug dealers' tracks..."

Balu paused slightly and asked, "Boss, taking them in?

Those people can't endure for long..."

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "But they themselves don't think so...

I will equip them with weapons; take them on a thorough tour of the resort territory.

Simply displaying aggression will only scare them; to gain their respect, we need to demonstrate our capabilities, letting them see the difference!

We are collaborators, not enemies, and scaring them to death doesn't benefit us!"

Balu listened and suddenly said, "It's beneficial then..."

Joe Ga was momentarily speechless, then resignedly nodded and said, "If that's what you insist, fine!

But refrain from eating random things, especially human body parts.

I'd rather you be ferocious demons, not man-eating beasts."

Only then did Balu realize what his boss cared about...

He glanced around, reached into his pocket, secretly showed a piece of ear to Boss Qiao before quickly putting it back, then stated, "Our instructor repeatedly told me to avoid anything related to human blood.

He said there's a lot of bad stuff in human blood. If you eat it, you'll become weak and can't stay in the Anteater Legion anymore."

Joe Ga looked at Balu in surprise and said, "You didn't eat it?"

Balu nodded and said, "No, I just made them think I did..."

Joe Ga exchanged a surprised look with Dorian, then gave a thumbs-up, laughing as he said, "Well done. Next time, carry a few candy eyeballs with you.

Dig out their eyeballs and eat them; it'll be more shocking!"

Dorian nodded seriously and said, "I should carry two with me, take them out and eat them in front of others from time to time. That way, they'll show me respect."

Passing by, Old Bull looked at Dorian like he was an idiot, laughed, and said, "Elephant, you should carry an egg with you. When people laugh at you, eat it in front of them.

That way, everyone will know why you only have one left..."

Dorian angrily flipped the bird and cursed, then flexed his neck, smiling as he said, "Boss, let's take a walk this morning. The staff here say there are piranhas in the lake, we can go fishing.

They say they taste pretty good when roasted..."

Joe Ga glanced at a cart by the elevator with a few Barretts on it, laughed, and said, "Then let's go check it out. We'll fish for piranhas and see if we can catch anything else..."

Then Joe Ga looked at Nis, disdainfully nudging the little sloth in her arms, and said helplessly, "I'm definitely going to end up cooking this thing someday...

Beauty, have you forgotten you have a son?"

Nis was momentarily stunned, turned around, and said, "I'll go look. Ayu and Gino should be taking care of him.

I don't like fishing, so I'll take Igor with me to the rooftop to cover you guys..."

Joe Ga watched Nis's retreating back, sighed deeply, and said, "My son really has it tough. This kid is bound for great things when he grows up..."

Then Joe Ga said to Dorian, "Call 'Bullhorn,' they should be in Rio by now. Urge them to assist 'Kitten' in screening those enlisted soldiers.

Hurry up and pick a batch of good hands for me. The rainforest is vast, and we really have no way to deal with those drug traffickers without enough manpower...

Is Estelle still napping? Go wake her up and ask how the investigation on the drug traffickers is going?"

Dorian heard this, rubbed his hands, and laughed as he said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll go find her right away...

That chick was with the medic bird and Ronnie yesterday, interrogating the captives injured by 'Leech.' There should be news by now.

I'll go get her; she's been taking a lot from us, and she can't slack off on work."

......

While Boss Joe was playing and preparing for battle, a strange scene unfolded in the Rocinha Slum of Rio.

E Team's Zhadanren, fully armed, was running laps with over a hundred equally armed soldiers in the slum.

Rocinha's gang had just undergone a massive overhaul, and the new boss, Anderson, didn't yet have enough prestige, so many gangs were eager to challenge Anderson's authority.

Boss Joe's delivery plan had yet to be executed, needing to wait for the software to launch, custom cash registers, and banking structures to be in place for it to truly begin.

Gangs, living for today without a thought for tomorrow, had no patience for a long wait, right?

Once Boss Joe left, some reckless guys started acting up.

'Kitten' absolutely detested these types of gangs, and she originally planned to start a killing spree again, working with Anderson to sweep out the disobedient forces in Rocinha, but B Team's 'Hemostatic Forceps' and the just-arrived 'Bullhorn' offered a different solution...

Rocinha is the best screening ground, with its complex internal roads built along the hills. Running a full lap fully armed weeds out some physically unfit among them.

Add in the tense atmosphere, and high pressure can weed out even more.

Conversely, the sight of armed soldiers applying pressure would greatly intimidate those reckless gang members.

Gangs never stand a chance against a regular military!

When soldiers put on body armor and enter Rocinha in a battalion formation, even Marlon Brando would need to shut his door and pray those soldiers wouldn't come knocking.

'Kitten' was notified while standing on the apartment balcony, watching a large group of soldiers undergoing initial screening on the beach...

Learning Boss Joe encountered drug traffickers, 'Kitten' excitedly spun in place and then pulled 'Hemostatic Forceps' beside her, saying, "I want to go, I want to go...

Quickly get a list together, I need to head to Manaus..."

'Hemostatic Forceps,' seeing 'Kitten's' excitement, laughed and said, "You look like the boss stumbled into something good instead of drug traffickers..."

'Kitten' heard this and held her head helplessly, saying, "There's way too much mundane stuff here!

I'm not very good with business matters, better let the professionals handle it.

Help me pick out the top soldiers, the boss needs skilled hands, so I'll bring the best ones to him.

That guy's always been a bit biased against us Latino soldiers, always believing the anteaters have control over the jungle.

The 'Cavalry Trooper' in Liberia was mostly in a supporting role...

This time, we'll show him the true strength of Latin American soldiers!

Plus, I need to remind him that the Amazon Rainforest is totally different from the Congo Rainforest..."
