801 -727: Selling Safety and Selling Danger
Aaron’s money laundering plan was not disclosed to Joe Ga, but Joe Ga instinctively felt that this guy was bound to stir up big trouble, and many highly influential people would be out of luck.
He had even planned out his time in prison, indicating that he intended to take the legal route, using judicial means to tear off the shackles bound to him.
Joe Ga had basically confirmed that Aaron was about to come up with a weapon of mass destruction; such a ruthless and cold-hearted bastard taking the legal path suggested that the web tied around Aaron was enough to send shivers down Joe Ga’s spine.
During the hostage rescue in Iraq, Joe Ga had already confirmed that the so-called “International Brokerage Company” was likely the hidden boss behind that net…
The identities of a few Delta Soldiers changed on a whim, a misuse of public resources to this extent surpassed the so-called American Government.
The “International Brokerage Company” operated a range of services including intelligence, mercenary services, assassins, money laundering, and funds…
This was a dark service industry chain, and no matter how Joe Ga saw it, it seemed like the monstrous creation of one or several big capital conglomerates. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Because to be honest, the most profound impression the “International Brokerage Company” gave Joe Ga was ‘reasonable rates’.
Joe Ga had looked into the company’s services and even considered investing some money into their fund.
They have refined a dark industry chain to the extent that they can customize solutions according to customer needs, at very reasonable prices.
Every life was precisely valued down to the individual…
They grade the clients’ targets; even ordinary people are appraised based on their profession, height, weight, and such, where a fitness instructor’s life is much more expensive than a junkie’s.
Without sufficient industry, intelligence, channels, manpower, and judicial support, the mafia’s so-called ‘reasonable rates’ would be truly unreasonable.
Joe Ga’s judgment at the time was that either this company was using black business as bait in a Ponzi scheme to lure clients into investing ‘security deposits’ in their fund, or that the company was so vast that he didn’t dare provoke them.
Aaron had once said that his family’s negotiation with Harlotte only spared his life, but it was the intelligence cover provided by the “International Brokerage Company” that allowed him to preserve his life in subsequent business dealings,
If Aaron needed to challenge this company, then Joe Ga could understand why Aaron went to such great lengths.
Because he might be challenging a system, not just a few individuals!
Aaron couldn’t possibly share such a thing with Joe Ga, because the unpredictable risks involved were just too great.
The greatest support Joe Ga could offer was to ensure Aaron’s safety should he fail.
However, now knowing that Boss Joe bet on the election, and with Aaron understanding Boss Joe’s personality too well, this guy wouldn’t act alone in anything he does, which means a part of America’s people were betting along with him.
The only explanation for Boss Joe being able to convince everyone to bet on Donald with this election’s dynamics is that he holds a ‘trump card’ powerful enough to disgrace the old lady.
A ‘Special Pardon’ is like a get-out-of-jail-free card, Aaron felt the chances of his plan succeeding became a bit more likely because the ‘Special Pardon’ allowed him to pay a higher price during the operation.
Joe Ga was pondering how to maximize the benefits from the intelligence provided by Aaron, the undercover.
Just before hanging up the phone, Joe Ga urged Aaron not to waste the chips in his hand, asking him to inform American authorities about the terror attack in New Jersey.
But this notification required some finesse…
From Aaron’s earlier regret, one could tell he backed the wrong horse, so it’s highly likely the American handler he’s connected with is the old lady’s person.
That old lady, having suppressed US Army assistance during Steven’s attack, would very likely delay the intelligence transmission.
It doesn’t matter if the old lady doesn’t hide it; Donald Depp, even if aware of the danger, wouldn’t change his schedule as he must foster a Tough Guy image.
Refusing to negotiate with terrorists is a basic characteristic.
So if he wants to seek more comprehensive security in New Jersey, P·B would be his best choice.
If the old lady withholds the information, even better; sending a warning to Donald through Eric, they can take advantage of the situation and strike a heavy blow against the old lady after averting the crisis, eliminating her influence in the Department of State and intelligence system.
This is a blatant scheme, doing things in an upright manner; except for Big Mouth Donald taking some risk, everyone stands to gain.
………….
In a small town in South Africa, Aaron, pushing a wheelchair, got off the van with the help of a lift and entered a huge manor with the aid of his assistant.
Madeline, who had been mistreated by Boss Joe since Tubruq, and her lover Amal, were at the manor’s entrance to welcome Aaron.
Aaron wore a warm smile on his face, and as he passed by, he patted Amal’s arm, asking with a smile, “How have you been lately?”
Amal and Madeline, a combo of terrorist and spy, now held a sense of indescribable awe towards Aaron…
This wheelchair-bound man possessed an insight into people’s hearts, as from the moment Amal had interacted with Aaron, it was as if he lost his autonomy, unconsciously following Aaron’s lead, trying to realize his dreams.
Madeline, the spy who gave NATO endless headaches, was in an even worse situation; her mother had been taken by Aaron to live well in Austria, her enemies list had grown, and it seemed only Aaron could help her with her revenge.
This always-smiling man always knew what they wanted, then made them bow and scrape.
This wasn’t the primary reason that made Amal and Madeline feel reverence…
What they found unbelievable was their witness to how Aaron played those ISIS high-ups…
Taking away all their savings, some of their financing channels, key nuclear materials, and yet those people were still extremely grateful to him…
ISIS forces are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Iraqi Government army and mercenary coalition in Mosul.
The endless supply of arms provided by Aaron has fueled ISIS’s manpower investment into Mosul, turning it into a de facto meat grinder.
ISIS forces still naively believe that as long as they can hold Mosul, they can negotiate with NATO using those dirty bombs.
But they do not know that Mosul has become a money-making holy land for P·B and Aaron!
The strangest thing is that all parties actually seem quite content with this situation.
The mercenary coalition will soon get their contract extended, the Iraqi government is waving flags and cheering, focusing mainly on the south, and is obsessed with ensuring the smooth transit of P·B’s shipping channels.
For the first time, the Kurdish people feel care from the outside world due to the establishment of the safe zone.
Although the nature of the safe zone does not quite fit their core interests, it is still mainly a Kurdish shelter, so the Iraqi Kurds have guarded the rear for the safe zone.
The Syrian Kurds, on the other hand, act as forerunners in the safe zone’s material trade, attempting to carve out a passage under the cover of P·B’s artillery fire, to deliver cheap yet important essential goods into the interior of Syria.
People are dying non-stop everywhere, but it seems no one feels that it’s bad.
There’s even a sense of thriving!
When P·B was dominant, Aaron gave ISIS a glimpse of hope, and then a war that suits everyone’s interests is proceeding vigorously…
Madeline is a well-trained secret agent.
She doesn’t know that there is a connection between Aaron and Joe Ga, and she is extremely astonished by the situational control Aaron has demonstrated.
It’s like magic, to those being deceived without seeing the whole picture, it feels like an intelligence crush and an awe of the ‘miraculous’.
Compared to her husband Amal, Madeline surrendered to Aaron even earlier.
Such a rigorously trained female agent is naturally a ‘hunting dog’, they need a master to perform to their fullest potential.
Meeting Aaron, who can help her get revenge, and surprisingly shares the same values, Madeline surrendered without hesitation!
Seeing that Amal seemed a bit uncomfortable, Madeline took the initiative to take over Aaron’s wheelchair and said with a smile, “Amal and I have been working separately, and we have ‘invited’ several professors back.
They have inspected the underground facilities, and in about a month, this place will be operational.”
While pushing Aaron into the manor, Madeline went on with a smile, “We now have four detonators and enough uranium material…
Boss, I don’t know how you found this place, but you’re about to win!”
Aaron seemed to trust Madeline and Amal a lot, and he said with a smile, “I am an arms dealer, my mission is to sell armaments.
But I am tired of these insignificant skirmishes…
Madeline, do you know what the real King of War looks like?”
For some reason, Madeline suddenly had a vision of the figure of ‘Good Man’ Hu Lang…
After a moment of silence, she said, “There is no such thing as the King of War in this world today.
Those so-called ‘Kings of War’ hyped by the media are nothing more than stray dogs scavenging on the fringes of international politics.
If I must say, Boss, as long as you succeed, you will be the real King of War.”
Hearing this, Aaron laughed and shook his head, “You actually naïvely think that 4 nuclear weapons made with outdated technology could make me King of War?
No, they’re just tools…
The real King of War is the one who profits from stopping wars, who deals in ‘safety’ to people.
I cannot be such a person, but I can become someone else!”
Madeline did not quite understand what Aaron was talking about, and she subconsciously asked, “Someone else?”
Aaron tilted his head and looked up at Madeline’s puzzled expression, then said with a smile, “Yes, someone else!
The King of War peddles ‘safety’, while I can peddle ‘danger’.
Nuclear weapons are just a means to an end, they’ll never actually explode.
Good and evil in this world are connected; I will never take the initiative to destroy it.
I want to stand in the sunlight and sell ‘danger’ to people.
Madeline, you’d surely not believe that some black industries that make people fear are actually controlled by the sunlit capital.
I’ve discovered them, so I chose to embrace them, and ultimately I will conquer them!”
With that, Aaron glanced at Amal beside him and continued with a smile, “Follow me, I’ll show you the real operational mode of the dark world!
Then you’ll find out that your former desires are not even worth mentioning!”
