King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Elephant Trivia

Karman's words made Joe Ga pause for a moment before he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. Let's eat first. After the meal, we'll enjoy the fun of unboxing.

This is our spoils of war, and everyone who participated in the battle gets a share!"

Dorian, feeling a bit uncomfortable, avoided Karman's gaze, then took out a wallet and a watch from his pocket and honestly placed them on the sofa.

As battle-hardened men, the meal was quite lively. Since there were women present, the men's conversation was somewhat restrained.

Once Dorian got used to the atmosphere at the dining table, he was able to take the initiative to liven up the mood. Unfortunately, the Italian's conversation always revolved around soccer and food, topics that no one present was interested in.

Joe Ga wasn't interested, a fact well known to everyone, and as for the others—it went without saying—Karman lived so long, he hadn't even seen what pizza looked like.

Halfway through his meal, Joe Ga noticed the atmosphere getting a bit dull, so he took the lead in breaking the ice, looking at Dorian and asking, "Have you thought of a codename for yourself?

No matter the outcome of our trip to Italy, you're now part of our team.

You need to come up with a nickname, and you definitely understand the reasoning."

Dorian was taken aback, then asked curiously, "Aren't nicknames supposed to be given by others?

There are no mistaken nicknames because they reflect what others think of you."

Joe Ga, who was quite savvy about human interaction, saw Dorian's slightly regretful expression after he finished speaking and realized the guy's past nickname must have been unflattering.

Otherwise, at this moment, he would have revealed his former nickname and with a slight tweak, it could have become his new one, instead of beating around the bush, trying to get everyone to 'name' him based on their first impressions.

Seeing Dorian's slightly awkward expression, Joe Ga laughed and said, "What was your codename back with Leather Head?"

Upon hearing this, Dorian shifted uncomfortably in his chair and said, "Well, my comrades used to call me 'Breachman,' you know my specialty since I'm the best Assault Soldier."

Joe Ga knew this guy was lying right away, but before he could speak up, Eric, who had even less social savvy, said with an annoying tone, "This guy is lying. I studied micro-expressions psychology..."

As he spoke, Eric clasped his hands together under his chin, staring at Dorian as he said, "You don't want everyone to know your past nickname, huh... You have a great physique and look decent. If it were related to your appearance, you definitely wouldn't be offended.

Hmm, you've been trying to hit on the ladies and are willing to pick up on other people's topics, which shows you have an extroverted, cheerful personality and that's a plus, so your nickname must not be related to your personality.

What could it be then..."

Eric kept staring into Dorian's eyes while speaking. Noticing that Dorian was getting slightly nervous, he quickly added, "Nicknames can come from many sources, but apart from the first two, they are usually given because you did something stupid that your friends caught or because there is some flaw in your body..."

Eric stared at Dorian, whose eyes were slightly drooping, and pronounced like a soothsayer, "It's because of a physical flaw!

Tsk, tsk. You look fit, and being able to join Leather Head indicates you don't have any obvious physical disabilities, so what could it be?"

As Eric's effeminate gaze started to drift towards him, Dorian, feeling uncomfortable, crossed his legs and raised his hands in annoyance to the onlookers with sly expressions, saying, "OK, OK, my nickname is 'Breachman.' Stop looking at me like that; there's nothing wrong with my body."

By this point, Joe Ga didn't want to press further, as Dorian was clearly speaking against his will, and persisting would have been embarrassing for him.

Joe Ga kicked Eric's chair leg which he still maintained like a mystic and waved his hand, "Let's eat…"

Dorian saw that everyone had let him off the hook but didn't feel too pleased because quickly integrating into a team isn't easy for anyone.

The boss was very polite to him, which made everyone else seem distant, and that wasn't a good sign.

There were many ways to break this atmosphere, but Dorian was eager to fit in with the team because both Karman and Nis were really hard to get along with, and they happened to be the core of the team.

Karman, the old man, seemed to look down on him, and Nis, naturally aloof, was polite to everyone except the boss, Antar, and Ayu, but outside work, she rarely talked to anyone.

Dorian didn't think much about the slightly awkward situation, he just squirmed uncomfortably in his chair and whispered inaudibly.

"What?" Joe Ga didn't hear clearly, so he instinctively asked.

Dorian, faced with the gaze of the people around him, spread his hands helplessly, "This is a nickname given to me by my comrades."

Saying this, Dorian seemed to let his guard down a bit, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"But I have to clarify, my performance is normal, because I've verified it, and it's enough for a man."

Compared to the sympathetic expressions on the faces of a few men, the always cool Nis let out a 'pfft' and the food in her mouth sprayed out through her nose.

Joe Ga helplessly flicked a piece of lettuce off his thigh and then, looking at Nis whose face was red with embarrassment, said, "We shouldn't laugh at others."

Saying that, Joe Ga kicked Eric, who was already dying of laughter, and said with disdain, "You're fully equipped, but is it any use?"

After saying that, Joe Ga didn't even give Eric a chance to retort, he looked at a completely relaxed Dorian and smiled, "Don't worry, we're not the kind of people who make fun of friends.

You should come up with a nickname yourself."

Just as Dorian was about to nod, he heard Karman speak up, "How about 'Elephant'? I think it suits you."

Joe Ga didn't react at first but when Muto and Ayu began to grin and chuckle, he checked his phone and then clapped his hands laughing, "That settles it, Elephant, haha…"

Dorian, who had self-deprecatingly opened up, looked at Karman with a smile on his face and said, "OK, I don't mind."

With that, Dorian didn't want to dwell on the topic. As a nickname, he was quite satisfied. After all, not everyone knew what it implied. A loud nickname was enough when you're out and about, why need a bike?

He stood up, walked over to the couch, picked up his surrendered wallet and watch, saying, "The wallet belongs to the British Broker, the watch came off a person from the Mori Family.

Apart from cash, there's also a Juba Hotel room card and a safe deposit key in the wallet.

You say that British Broker is a spy from the intelligence service, so he must have left some useful things where he settled, so I think it's quite valuable.

I've seen this watch once before in a place, it's a great piece, so I brought it back.

Have a look, whoever wants it, I can show you how to use it."
