King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga arrived in Queens at 7 p.m.…

Thompson had already sent the detailed location of the Russian Mafia boss. However, the Russian mob had several bosses, and they weren't staying in the same place.

Joe's first stop was an underground nightclub, which seemed unremarkable on the outside but served as a significant source of revenue for the Russians.

Having Danny Logan with him turned out to be an advantage; although this area wasn't Danny's jurisdiction, the New York detective was able to quickly learn the ins and outs of the place through police channels.

There was a somewhat ironic situation in Queens: although the district was predominantly African American, the toughest, most ferocious, and most profitable were the Russians.

This situation wasn't really surprising; the local African Americans, commonly known as "little blacks," mainly survived by street drug dealing or committing robberies, revealing little business acumen.

In contrast, the Russian Mafia had connections with higher-ups and established business models and revenue streams.

The Russians' methods, inherited from the Gulag Prison traditions, forged the earliest generation of fierce modern mobsters in Russia.

Even as time passed and many traditions were lost, the remaining elements still ensured the combat effectiveness of a segment of the population.

Compared to the well-established Russian Mafia, the "little blacks" seemed reckless but were far behind in terms of strength.

A simple example was the attire; you'd often see these "little blacks" wearing baggy jeans, almost exposing half their buttocks.

Whereas the Russian Mafia's underlings would be dressed either in suits or sportswear…

How could these two groups, who approached their careers with different attitudes, even be compared?

Joe Ga and his team split up upon reaching the entrance of the nightclub...

Without any reconnaissance or probing, Jazz Squad's three vehicles drove directly up to the main entrance, while Joe Ga's three cars entered a small alley on the side, blocking the nightclub's back door.

Joe signaled to keep Danny and Estelle in the car, then excitedly stepped out himself…

Hu Lang, Elephant, King Kong, 'Spur', Orange Cat, Blow Dart, and Medic Bird

These seven formed an assault team; Medic Bird and Blow Dart took positions with their guns at the fire escape, Orange Cat attached several strips of explosive for breaching to the door in a criss-cross pattern, and then everyone waited for Joe's command…

Joe gave Danny and Estelle a thumbs-up with a smile, then pressed his communicator and said, "Action…"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

...…

...…

Upon Joe's command, Jazz Squad began their forceful entry at the main door.

No matter how vicious, the Russian thugs were just city gangsters; they couldn't compare to the war beasts of Jazz Squad, who had retired from the most brutal battlefields.

The tone of the fight was set the instant Jazz Squad's machine guns shattered the nightclub's main doors.

As cries of surprise and agony erupted from inside, 'Crow' and the assault team swiftly stormed into the nightclub…

It was only 7 o'clock, and there were no patrons at the club yet; most of those inside were gang members who were having a meal…

They would be going out to make money after nightfall…

As Joe Ga's team blew open the back door and entered the nightclub, a panicked Lesler from the FBI rushed over.

Looking at the smoky doorway, Lesler said to Danny, who was on the phone, "You just let them go in like that?"

Danny argued briefly with the person on the phone, then impatiently said, "Chief, this is a Department of Homeland Security operation; what do you want me to do?

A general just pointed at my nose and ordered me to obey. Want me to forward your call to him?"

After hanging up, Danny looked disdainfully at Lesler and said, "What do you think I could do?

I'm damn pleased to see Hu Lang and the others take on the Russian Mafia;

Those guys are absolute scum…"

Estelle nodded in agreement and said, "The Russians here manage the prostitution business; they've got nearly 200 streetwalkers controlled with drugs, plus a group of higher-end women who have to pay them 400 to 1000 US dollars a day.

Those women who can't pay end up in a terrible state…"

Where prostitution is illegal, exorbitant profits are inevitable!

Seeing the two individuals, who should have been on the same side as him, had turned sides, Lesler helplessly shook his head and said, "Then get in touch with the New York police, have them blockade the area beyond one street, and I'll take the FBI to seal this building.

Shit, I hope not too many people die…"

Lesler's hopes were bound to be disappointed…

Joe and his team deliberately 'forgot' the law enforcement protocol of shouting warnings before attacking, following a special forces assault mode instead, leading the Russians to believe they were under attack by a rival gang, so they chose to counterattack immediately.

'Crow' rarely fought in such an easy battle…

A few doormen were petrified by the machine guns; by the time 'Crow' and the team assaulted, these guys hadn't even managed to draw their guns before being shot in the thigh, followed by a bullet to the nose bridge…

'Crow' remembered the boss's teachings: anyone not holding a gun was an 'accidental injury'; try not to kill them.

```

Just shoot to kill, and if there's a good opportunity, shoot them in the legs and then capture them alive.

Watching a kid get shot in the leg, wailing and crying with snot and tears, 'Crow' turned his head to the machine gunner following him and said, "Knock them out, you guys cover the rear..."

After saying that, 'Crow' raised his gun in a tactical posture, approaching a huge foyer area ahead, and then without any hesitation, pulled out a flashbang grenade and threw it in...

After the boom of the explosion, 'Crow' gestured to his companions, and the four of them pulled the pins of the less potent offensive grenades, and threw them through the huge foyer into the nightclub's main hall...

"Bang, bang, bang, bang"

Following the four grenade explosions, 'Crow' took the lead and charged in...

While the Jazz Squad's attack was going smoothly, Joe Ga and his group followed a concealed stairway near the back door up to the second floor of the nightclub.

The commotion downstairs had already startled the people on the second floor, and the moment Joe Ga and his men rushed up, they saw chaos on the second floor...

A group of nearly naked women were panic-stricken, running in the hallway, trying to rush back down the way Joe Ga and his crew had come up...

The first to go up, Dorian, clutching a flashbang grenade, didn't dare throw it and was almost shoved to the ground by the frantic women.

The staircase was quite wide, and the women hadn't completely lost their senses.

In their minds, whether it was a police versus criminal situation or gang warfare, they wouldn't deliberately hurt them, so although they were terrified, they weren't crazy enough to attack Joe Ga and his men.

Seeing the situation was not good, Joe Ga followed Ayu and squeezed up the stairs, just as he was using the radio to tell Danny outside to control these women when he saw several armed figures appear at the far end of the hallways ahead and to the left...

"King Kong, Elephant, hold the front..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga forcefully pushed a girl to the ground and then pulled out his pistol before the gunmen on the left opened fire...

"Bang bang, bang bang"

Two consecutive gang gunmen were shot down, and at the same time, Ayu and Dorian also opened fire.

Ayu's machine gun was like it had special effects, the steady muzzle ensured that the bullets would not accidentally hit the women in the hallway.

While Dorian waved his hand and yelled at several girls who were wetting the carpet with urine, "Crawl over here, don't raise your heads, hurry up..."

As he spoke, Dorian called out behind him to 'Spur' and the others, "You go, assault from both sides sticking to the walls, medic bird and I follow the boss."

'Spur' saw Ayu's demon-like figure, and the dense bullets from the Minimi, swallowed hard and then patted Orange Cat and Blow Dart on their backs...

"We're going up..."

The three lined up in a row, began to advance sticking to the edges, getting ready to quickly control the corridor ahead, to stop Ayu's terrifying shooting.

Meanwhile, Joe Ga had already led a medic bird in an assault to the location of the bodies...

Waiting for Dorian to catch up, Joe Ga pulled out a flashbang grenade, nodded at the two, and decisively threw the grenade in...

After the deafening boom, screams erupted from all over the second floor...

Dorian dashed ahead of Joe Ga around the corner, with his G36C firing instantly...

"Pop pop, pop pop, pop..."

Two gunmen huddled at the corner were taken down, followed by Joe Ga and the medic bird closing in on Dorian, pointing their guns at the rooms on both sides of the corridor to prevent anyone from rushing out.

Now they had to be a bit more careful...

Joe Ga only knew the second floor was the gang's office, and didn't expect they kept so many women here.

So many rooms to search increased their workload.

Fortunately, these later partitioned small rooms were quite small, with only a single bed, a dressing table, and a row of wardrobes on the inside, making quick inspections not too difficult.

As the trio had covered about half the distance, several gang gunmen rushed out from the end of the corridor ahead...

These guys clearly had no military training and thought they could just run out and spray with their AKs.

Before they could stabilize their footing, several bullets hit their bodies.

Two young gang gunmen, obviously not that old, stiffened for an instant and then fell to the ground as if electrocuted.

With enemies appearing ahead, Joe Ga and his team didn't rush but methodically searched room by room, telling the women who hadn't had time to escape to hide in the rooms and lock the doors...

By the time Joe Ga had searched all the rooms on both sides of the corridor, nearly 5 minutes had passed.

By then, 'Spur' and his group had already controlled the corridor on their side and were attempting to enter the gang's second-floor office...

As the financial center of the gang and control center of the nightclub, the office had several capable men, and surprisingly, they were well-armed.

Whether from 'Spur's side or Joe Ga's side, reaching the office door required turning into a corridor...

Several seasoned gangsters, relying on the office door, occasionally drew their weapons to shoot wildly, and actually managed to stave off 'Spur's assault.

When he saw the boss appear on the other end, 'Spur' pulled out a flashbang grenade, signaled, and started counting down...

"3, 2, 1..."

Two flashbang grenades were simultaneously rolled out from both sides...

"Boom, boom, boom, boom"
