Chapter 600: Tyranny
Terrorists aren't afraid of dying, but their Achilles' heel is when their bombs can't be detonated.
Suddenly, a seemingly equally death-defying Hu Lang arrived, and they started to flounder...
They took hostages in order to buy time and attract attention before detonating the bombs to express their demands. But if they killed Joe Ga, it would provoke a reckless assault from P·B, and their whole operation would turn into a farce.
If they only ended up killing a group of women and children, it would be meaningless for their holy war and would only bring more furious and relentless retaliation.
A few grunts came from inside the vehicle, and Big Beard and another slim, curly-haired young man lowered their guns...
When Joe Ga got within 5 meters of the school bus, Big Beard suddenly raised his gun and shouted, "Don't move..."
Joe Ga stood in place, looking a little impatient, and spread his arms...
As the tall and thin terrorist came over to search him, Joe Ga said with a cold face, "I know your name is Navi, you have four terrorist siblings with criminal records, and a dad who was a dead bomb maker.
If you fucking dare to touch my ass, I'll have them blown to the sky right away..."
Saying this, Joe Ga grabbed Navi's cheek, forcing him to stand up, slapped his face forcefully with his left hand, then placed the tablet in his arms, and at the same time, he sneakily removed the blaster from the explosives on his chest with the Omnipotent Toolbox...
Then, he looked at the angry Navi, who seemed about to go berserk, and smiled, "Look, your home is on here..."
Joe Ga tapped the earpiece on his ear and said, "With just one word from me, that place will be leveled."
After speaking, Joe Ga pushed Navi's face away, letting him roll off, then ignoring Big Beard's gun barrel, walked up to Charlene. Looking at her cracked lips and bloody hands, Joe Ga turned to look at Big Beard, who was clutching the Detonator with a vicious look, and delivered a fierce slap...
"Slap~"
Everyone was stunned...
It was the first time the terrorists had seen someone who didn't play by the rules!
Big Beard held the Detonator, not daring to press it down. They were indeed terrorists ready to die, but their ideals were also grand...
Faced with the outrageous Joe Ga, Big Beard actually hesitated for a few seconds. When he put down the Detonator and picked up the AK to press Joe Ga, the boss grabbed the barrel, pressed it against his chest, jammed the gun's chamber with his hand, and delivered another slap.
This time, not only did it visibly swell Big Beard's face, but it also removed the blaster from the explosives on his chest.
"Shoot!"
"Slap~"
"Shoot!"
"Slap~"
"Shoot, you motherfucker!"
"Slap~"
Three consecutive heavy slaps split open the corner of Big Beard's eyes. The man breathed heavily like a raging bull, staring death into Joe Ga's eyes as if he were ready to tear him apart at any moment...
Joe Ga saw Big Beard's fingers trembling on the trigger. Having tested the limits of these guys, he let go of the gun and patted Big Beard's relatively unscathed right cheek, saying, "You're just a small fry..."
Then, Joe Ga walked back to Charlene's side, forcefully pulled out the dagger piercing her palm, supported the exhausted woman, and waved to Princess Briella and Prince Yake, who were crying against the bus window. He turned to Navi, who was fixated on the tablet, and said, "Go, I've prepared a medical kit, bring it to me..."
Seeing the angry look in Navi's eyes, Joe Ga pressed his communicator and said, "Hellfire, blow up the house's front door..."
After Joe Ga gave the order, Navi watched in horror as a plume of white smoke appeared on the tablet, followed by a violent explosion at his family home's front gate.
Navi let out a howl like a lone wolf and raised his gun in anger...
Joe Ga, unconcerned, stepped to the side in front of Charlene and then extended five fingers, saying, "I'll count to five. If you don't do as I say, the second Hellfire will be directed at your house.
Believe me, I show you this because your family is inside...
5, 4, 3, 2..."
Just as Navi was on the brink of collapse, another voice came from inside the vehicle...
"Navi, do as he says..."
Upon hearing this, Navi, roaring with rage, fired a barrage of bullets into the sky...
"Da da da..."
Navi glared at Joe Ga with blood-red eyes; after about a dozen seconds of gnashing his teeth and puffing with anger, he turned away furiously, replacing the magazine as he strode towards the crowd with the human bomb Detonator in hand.
Joe Ga, with his arm around Charlene's waist, let the trembling woman lean against him, then knocked forcefully on the side of the school bus and called out in Arabic, "Come out and talk to me. What exactly do you want?"
Joe Ga began by going along with the terrorists' demands, helping them to buy time...
After a moment of silence inside the vehicle, a handsome man with a neatly groomed beard pulled a woman to the window to shield against any potential snipers and then cracked the window open, saying grimly, "I want the media to come here..."
When Joe Ga saw that someone with authority finally spoke up, he helped Charlene to sit down at the bottom of the school bus, covered her chest with his jacket, and then stood up again to face the terrorist, saying, "OK, I'll contact the media, but you have to let Briella and Jacques go.
You know we can't escape. If you have even the slightest shred of humanity, let the children stay with their mother."
Joe Ga said this, watching the hesitant look on the terrorist's face. He shook his head and said, "I know you're called Sultan, a Surt man. I also know you studied in France.
It's a pity your parents were killed in the civil war in Liberia...
What else do you want? Food, water—if you need it, you can order whatever you want.
You're not even afraid of death, so why would you fear a little food and drink?
Don't make me despise you. Even if you don't eat or drink yourself, let the women and children inside have something."
Sultan stared at Joe Ga through the window with piercing eyes. After several seconds, he said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want? You should know I can't negotiate with you. I will only talk with the higher-ups from England and France..."
Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "They're too scared to come. You can talk to me. What do you want?
If you agree to let these children go and give up the terror attacks, I can persuade the people behind me to give you a billion euros in cash."
Upon hearing this, Sultan seemed to think of something particularly amusing, laughing out loud and saying, "Do you think money can solve all problems?"
Joe Ga decisively shook his head and replied, "I don't think so, but I still have to try. What if you agree!"
Sultan sneered with a mocking laugh, "You don't understand..."
As he spoke, Sultan glanced sideways at Charlene sitting on the ground, trembling. He said with a smile, "She is a beautiful woman, but it's a pity her man is acting quite unmanly.
Are you her lover?
Do you know what the consequence of adultery is in Liberia?"
