King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 49: 49 The First Patient

```

About Joe Ga's body transformation, it stemmed from a few misunderstandings. His personal trainer and nutritionist were very responsible, but they had misunderstood the reason Joe Ga was training.

Subconsciously, they thought Joe Ga wanted to shape his body, so all the programs they initially set up were geared towards increasing endurance, fat reduction, and sculpting.

A lot of aerobic exercise, combined with targeted shaping workouts and a sensible diet, gave the already decently fit Joe Ga a sculpted physique in just 40 days.

It wasn't until Joe Ga realized that his strength hadn't increased much that he discovered there had been a miscommunication. After a series of discussions, they finally revised the training plan, and the results were pretty good—in any case, Joe Ga was quite satisfied every time he looked in the mirror.

After a full meal and drink, Joe Ga downed a cup of tea and said to Karman and Nis with a smile, "Someone just called me, needing to place an order for some arms.

We'll rest tomorrow and leave the day after, once the helicopters have arrived.

Only the three of us know about that arms cache, so we're going to have to work a bit harder."

Karman, always passionate about his work, had been with Joe Ga for a while and was getting close to his first $500,000 target.

His son Muto was applying for an Italian visa; although it cost a significant amount of money, there seemed to be good news on the horizon, so the old guy was really motivated.

After hearing Joe Ga's instructions, Karman nodded and said, "I'll go rest then, and come back to see you tomorrow. I need to ask Muto how things are going with him?"

As Karman hesitated at the door, he said, "Boss, I think you could bring Ayu along, that woman is very loyal, and lots of tasks could be sped up with her help."

Joe Ga shook his head and replied, "How to use her, that I need to consider…"

Karman was well aware of Joe Ga's concerns and nodded, "Ayu is a born warrior, stronger than most men, but it's your call, you're the boss."

Joe Ga nodded and said, "Building trust between people takes time. Ad-Damazin also needs someone to stay behind and keep an eye on things. In fact, I think Ayu might be better suited for the company's work.

Nothing's set in stone, though; we can take our time to evaluate."

Turning to Nis, who was cleaning up the table, Joe Ga asked, "You just got back and you're leaving again. You don't have any issues with that, do you?"

Nis shook his head and replied, "I don't have any problems. You want to get the Mi-8 transport plane in the arms cache up and running, right? Well, I can fly one of those."

Joe Ga responded with a smile, "The helicopters I purchased will be delivered the day after tomorrow. The Agusta needs a deep service before it's usable, but the Kitten will be ready to go straight away.

We'll fly the Kitten to the arms cache and use the Mi-8 to make deliveries to the client.

If you're sure you can fly that kind of transport plane, we can use two Mi-8s and complete the deal in just two trips."

As Joe Ga spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a hint of amusement, "To be honest, I'm starting to feel confident. Who else sells arms in Africa and delivers them by helicopter?"

Upon hearing this, Nis thought for a moment and replied, "It does sound like that, but most helicopter deliveries are for small deals. The Mi-8 is just a medium transport and can only carry so much cargo.

The real big arms dealers..."

Joe Ga interrupted Nis, gesturing with his hand, and said, "I get it, but we're not trying to compete with those big shots. They deal with railways and cargo ships—making seven-figure profits on a single deal—we can't even compare with these little shrimps."

"We earnestly spend Colonel Ka's legacy to the last penny, and as soon as we've saved enough money we can do what we want, or find a peaceful place to retire—that's what's proper," said Joe Ga, looking at the calm expression on Nis's face. "Do you have any particular country you want to visit?"

As Nis put several bowls into the sink, she thought for a few minutes and then said, "I can't think of any for the moment. My brother wants me to go to China, but it seems like you don't want to return there."

Joe Ga was taken aback and then, thinking of the human life in his hands, he shook his head and said, "I do want to go back very much, and I hesitated when I got the 2 million from Boss Huang.

But I killed a United Nations official, and it's only a matter of time before someone intent on finding out will trace it back to me. Going back to my country might cause a lot of trouble for many people.

So I'm planning to save enough money and then live out my life on a beautifully scenic island, like Fiji or Mauritius. Thailand is also not out of the question.

I think that your illness can be cured. I've recently read a lot about post-traumatic stress disorder and for someone with a mild case like yours, there are several methods of treatment.

According to Karman, you're just plagued by the 'devil'. As long as you survive, you'll eventually defeat it," Joe Ga said, looking at the shifting expressions on Nis's face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand me; I'm not your brother. I won't make decisions for you. After all, it's your life, so you decide for yourself.

But as long as you stick with me, you won't lack money. If anything comes up, I as your boss will try to shoulder it for you."

Nis nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Apart from helping you with your work, I can't think of anything else I can do at the moment. Maybe when I have an idea one day, I'll tell you right away."

Joe Ga nodded indifferently. Nis was an excellent sniper, it was just a pity she was like a little elephant chained up since childhood. She would need a lot of time to transition, but this was actually a good thing for Joe Ga as the boss.

Some things need only be said once. Making Nis understand that he had no intention of controlling her life was all that mattered; everything else was trivial.

Watching Nis go into the kitchen to start cleaning up, Joe Ga walked cheerily into his own courtyard to take a walk.

What he hadn't expected was that the big cat hadn't followed Ayu away, or perhaps it had left and then returned.

He watched the big cat, carrying a 'Kitten' in its mouth, jump down from the courtyard wall and walk up to him.

Joe Ga could still distinguish between a cheetah and a leopard.

Looking at the little cheetah, only the size of a teddy bear, struggling desperately in the big cat's mouth and emitting a pitiful cry, Joe Ga tentatively stroked the big cat's neck. Then he watched as it dropped the little cheetah on the ground and even nudged it towards him...

"What do you mean? Are you bringing this as a gift or seeking my help?" Joe Ga asked as he tinkered with the little cheetah lying on the ground, then noticed that its hind leg was injured, with signs of infection around the wound.

Watching the big cat cock its head as it looked at him, Joe Ga pushed it playfully and said with a mix of annoyance and amusement, "I thought all of you from Africa were sociable—I didn't expect you to come for help.

Lucky for you, I graduated in veterinary medicine; otherwise, this little guy wouldn't last a week."

The big cat didn't seem to understand, as it stood up, rubbed its neck against Joe Ga's thigh, and then with two leaps, hopped over the fence and disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, Joe Ga picked up the unfortunate little cheetah and, while walking towards the room, chuckled and said, "As my patient, you must feel honored..."
