King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Inside the Rio Beachfront Apartment...

Frester saw on television that his boss, accompanied by four surviving girls, disembarked from a seaplane and entered the Rainforest Resort amidst a swarm of media...

He exhaled a sigh of relief and then looked at the CIA agent, Earl Lavey, who had been lingering here for ten days since pulling out from the rainforest and refused to leave...

"Brother, my boss is safe now. That Delta Force team will take a plane back to America the day after tomorrow to personally confirm their family's safety and then report to Thompson.

Your mission is over; now you can return to Colombia.

The Colombian government is currently cooperating with the DEA, and they're working hard to strike the Cartel Group.

As a former CIA director, I think you should get rid of your inherent villain mindset and help our colleagues do meaningful things instead of bickering with me here."

Earl Lavey looked at Frester's disdainful face and said unhappily, "Buddy, as far as I know, the boss wanted someone familiar with South America to manage the business in Rio; it was you son of a bitch who stabbed me in the back..."

Frester scoffed and said, "Buddy, this is reasonable workplace competition.

Don't think that just because you delivered a Delta Force team, you can strut around in P·B.

You're not even considered a newbie now!

And to be honest, Delta Force isn't anything special at P·B.

These folks have identity issues and can't even take on ads; given P·B's current situation, it'll take them a long time to turn a profit."

As he spoke, Frester waved his hand, walking toward the liquor cabinet, seemingly absentmindedly saying, "Buddy, you've got a long way to go if you want to make it in P·B...

Hey?

Your last name is Lavey and you have Jewish heritage. Have you heard of Alvando Ravie?"

Earl Lavey was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing something, and frowned at Frester, "You're investigating me?"

Earl Lavey gave a wry smile and said, "Figures, in our line of work, there's no such thing as 'trust,' right?"

Frester spread his hands and said, "I used to think that way, but after spending more than half a year in an American prison and getting bailed out, I changed my outlook.

Buddy, I didn't understand what the Lavey surname represented in the past.

The Lavey surname sounds pretty ordinary, like there's nothing suspicious about it.

But I asked around, and many influential people told me it's a surname ordinary folks shouldn't delve too deep into.

Then, out of curiosity, or perhaps professional instinct, I checked some information about you..."

Earl Lavey frowned and said, "And then what? Does my surname cause me trouble?"

Frester shook his head and said, "To be precise, it's more about the things you did while directing intelligence work in the Middle East that made me doubt you.

The 2003 Tehran explosion, the 2004 Riyadh terrorist attack, the 2005 Iraq oil field terrorist attack, the 2006 journalist kidnapping case..."

Earl Lavey waved his hand and said, "Enough, what do you want to say? I was just following orders to do my job..."

Frester shook his head and said, "But not everything in those tasks was for America's benefit.

Buddy, in our line of work, doing small side projects isn't a big deal...

The only problem is when you decide to switch workplaces, you have to be honest with your boss."

Earl Lavey heard this, gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "So my joining P·B is out of the question, right?"

Frester looked into Lavey's eyes, gently shook his head, and said, "Not necessarily, it all depends on how you choose...

But don't worry, since you delivered a Delta Force team to the boss, your life is not in jeopardy.

I don't know what problem you're facing that makes you want to join P·B using a Delta Force team as a stepping stone.

However, recently we've gotten some information that an old man named 'Dragon Gecko' seems to be a bit upset...

Then we first heard of the Lavey family, and I connected your surname to it, finally verified the time you called me for help based on curiosity...

Then I discovered that when you called me, the Special Operations Command's orders to Delta Force hadn't been delivered yet.

There was a plane crash incident when you were in Iraq, according to your report, it might be a Mossad sabotage intended to provoke that Hafali to detonate a dirty bomb.

But later, the CIA put a lot of pressure on Mossad, and in the end, it was found not to be Mossad's doing.

And during the period when CIA put pressure on Mossad, for various reasons, about a dozen high-ranking Mossad officials were replaced.

If this is what the Lavey family wanted, then I must applaud you because you were indeed risking your life doing things.

Buddy, you know my boss and went through troubles together in Iraq, so you're still here chatting with me.

If it were someone else, they'd have already been chopped up and fed to Crocodiles in the Amazon."

With that, Frester looked at the wryly smiling Earl Lavey and said with a smile, "Buddy, no need to look so dejected; we are in this line of work, it's easy to tell if your expression is sincere.
