The Strongest Arms Dealer

Tang Dao had come a long way from his humble beginnings, and he had no intention of stopping now. He relished the moniker of "The Lord of War," even if it came with a certain notoriety. To him, it was a badge of honor, a testament to his success in the world of international arms dealing. As he read the headline in "World People Weekly" declaring that his most significant achievement was toppling Locke Martin, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. It was a reminder of the power he wielded, the influence he had over world events, and the wealth he had amassed. Locke Martin, a rival arms dealer of considerable renown, had once been a formidable competitor. But Tang Dao's shrewd business acumen, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and his unwavering determination had allowed him to outmaneuver and eventually depose Martin from his lofty position. For Tang Dao, every fighter, every weapon, and every deal was a means to an end. His focus was on profit, influence, and achieving his objectives. He had built a vast network of contacts, navigated the treacherous waters of international politics, and exploited the chaos of conflict zones to his advantage. He was not just an arms dealer; he was a businessman who saw opportunities where others saw only risks. He had the ability to turn strife and turmoil into lucrative deals, and he reveled in the challenge. In the world of arms dealing, Tang Dao was a force to be reckoned with. He was a man who had risen from obscurity to become a power player on the global stage. And as long as there were conflicts, wars, and those who sought to profit from them, Tang Dao knew that his place at the top was secure. The world might bow down to him, or it might fear him, but one thing was certain: Tang Dao was a master of his craft, and he had no intention of relinquishing his position as the Lord of War.

Chapter 24

As Tang Dao continued his discussions with Conan Klein, he couldn't help but be aware of the persistent anxiety on Angie's face. Angie, one of their group members, had been tirelessly searching for Job, another member of their team, and the entire situation had an unsettling undertone that raised Tang Dao's suspicions.

A sense of unease crept over Tang Dao, and he decided to take matters into his own hands to assess the situation more closely. He approached Osborn, a member of their group who was accompanying Angie, and whispered discreet instructions to him. Their plan was clear: divert Angie's attention while discreetly addressing whatever issue was at hand.

Osborn, understanding the gravity of the situation, acted swiftly. He found a casual excuse to lead Angie away from the main group. As they walked further from the others, Osborn seized an opportune moment and hurled a stone at Angie's forehead. The sudden and unexpected impact left Angie stunned and bewildered, causing him to collapse to the ground. Osborn didn't hesitate, and he proceeded to strike Angie repeatedly with more stones. There was no pain, only a chilling numbness that overcame him as his consciousness began to wane.

With Angie incapacitated, Osborn composed himself. He tossed aside the stones he had used as weapons, recognizing the need for a swift and calculated response. There was no need to bury the body; the harsh African wilderness would quickly take care of that. The scent of blood would attract scavengers, and nature itself would erase the evidence.

Osborn began the grim task of dragging Angie's lifeless body up the hill, his thoughts filled with the knowledge that Angie's potential threat to their lucrative arms dealing operation had been neutralized. The decision was ruthless, but in this unforgiving environment, survival often demanded such extreme measures.

Unbeknownst to Tang Dao, Osborn's actions in the background were unfolding as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the landscape. Tang Dao and Conan Klein remained engrossed in discussions about arms and equipment, their voices filled with anticipation of potential lucrative deals. Yet, the dark events transpiring away from their gaze would soon have consequences that could alter the course of their journey in this unforgiving African wilderness.

The arms dealing world was fraught with risks and uncertainties, and Tang Dao was determined to seize every opportunity for success. However, he was about to discover that the challenges of this environment extended beyond the arms trade, and the secrets lurking in the African wilderness were far from ordinary.
