Chapter 32: 32 Let's Set Three Rules
If Joe Ga had been driven by greed before, now he was truly afraid.
With just a canister of washing powder, the YLK had been shattered to pieces. If anyone knew he possessed chemical weapons, wouldn't that be the end of him?
Especially since people were out there searching for these items, the situation would become even more dangerous. Being exposed would inevitably lead to an all-out assault.
It didn't matter whether you intended to use them or not. Simply 'having' them was a death sentence, and no one would sympathize with you.
At this moment, Joe Ga didn't know whether Nis was trying to repay him or set him up.
Joe Ga explained the pros and cons, then stopped Karman, who was glaring menacingly.
He then looked at Nis, who still had a calm expression, and shook his head helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After a few seconds of silence, Nis spoke, "As long as we both keep silent, there won't be any danger.
You can abandon this place at any time and never come close again."
After hearing this, Joe Ga chuckled and shook his head, "But people are greedy, and I am no exception!"
Nis was surprised by Joe Ga's candor. She nodded and said, "You're more honest than I expected. People who are honest with themselves are strong.
I need help to take revenge. You can take everything here and deal with it as you please."
Nis's straightforwardness left Joe Ga speechless. The girl was giving away things worth over a billion dollars as if they were nothing, and despite a few complications, her mind was definitely clear.
She had seen the fierce look in Karman's eyes but remained unfazed.
Joe Ga couldn't fully comprehend Nis's thinking, but he believed she had no reason to set him up, indeed.
However, as the boss, he had to consider much more.
He could not kill to keep secrets, as both Karman and Nis had once saved his life.
For Joe Ga, the best course of action was to make an anonymous call to the relevant United Nations department. The work on the destruction of Libya's leftover chemical weapons had been ongoing for many years; it was no news.
If this place were exposed, those chasing after them would also give up.
Still, Joe Ga was somewhat reluctant to let go of the munitions. Being a good Samaritan would bring him no benefit, only constant fear and worry—what kind of rotten deal was that?
After a long period of thought, Joe Ga finally looked up at Karman and Nis, "Before I deal with this place, you will both work for me continuously. Any problems with that?"
As if expecting this outcome, Nis was the first to nod her head, "You didn't consider silencing us, so you must be a decent boss. I have no problems at all. As long as you help me avenge, wherever you go, I will follow."
Joe Ga looked helplessly at Nis, whose bluntness was extraordinary, "Why do I feel you're too eager to 'sell yourself'? This makes me uneasy because you're offering too much!"
Nis was taken aback by the question, but it was Karman who provided the answer...
"Because she's a woman, and a well-trained ferocious hunting dog, but without a master, she simply can't survive.
I've seen many like her, including Boy Scouts, terrorists, and soldiers. What they have in common is that once they lose their master, they soon self-destruct."
Joe Ga could hardly understand this logic, but seeing the expression on Nis's face, it seemed Karman was right again.
In fact, Joe Ga didn't understand that this so-called arsenal meant nothing to Nis, for she had no capacity to manage it, and it could even destroy her at any moment.
From a young age, she was taught to obey and be loyal, but both traits needed a focus to manifest.
His brother had indeed always been protective of her, but he never tried to exploit her natural abilities.
Nis was like a young elephant tied by its foot from a young age, and even after the chains on her feet were removed, the chains in her mind remained.
She lived a life of stealth and high pressure with her brother for several years, but due to her long experiences with battle, she found this lifestyle painful.
When her brother was killed, Nis, suddenly faced with a crisis, instinctively sought someone to rely on, or rather someone who made her feel needed.
Joe Ga was indeed an appropriate person for that role. Nis was actually very smart, she might not have been aware of her psychological issues, but a 'treasure' that was useless for her could help her test out many things.
Greed leads ordinary people to make a lot of irrational choices, like the idea of silencing witnesses that Karman had previously harbored.
If Joe Ga's performance was not to her satisfaction, then she also had ways to force Joe Ga to help her complete her revenge, and then everyone would go their separate ways or end up in mutual destruction.
However, she was very satisfied with Joe Ga's performance right now, and she didn't mind working for Joe Ga at all.
At this stage, only dangerous and thrilling work was suitable for her. Only when she found the meaning of life and overcame the 'devil' inside her, might she possibly get on the right track of life.
There are two kinds of people in this world, one is like a tree, growing alone in search of sunlight--Joe Ga was this type of person.
The other type is like a vine, which must rely on a tree to find its own place--Nis was this type of person.
Joe Ga didn't fret too much about things he didn't understand because he believed that everything had a cause and effect. He believed Nis had no reason to betray him and include herself in the fallout.
Joe Ga didn't quite agree with Karman's hound theory, but since Nis herself didn't object, Joe Ga took it as Karman being right.
It was about being a qualified boss, how hard could that be?
After figuring this out, Joe Ga looked at Karman and said, "Buddy, I'm sorry, but you might have to push back the timetable for enjoying good times with your son."
Karman carelessly waved his hand and said, "You're a good boss, I just want my son to live a safe and prosperous life. As long as my salary is secure, I don't care about myself."
Joe Ga trusted Karman, the old fellow, and nodded with a smile, "All right, let's talk about the salary issue then.
I always believe in stating things upfront so there won't be misunderstandings, nor conflicts over profit sharing."
Nis shook her head upon hearing this and said, "I only need enough salary to support myself, the rest I just need you to provide me with the best weapons and equipment.
I like the TAC-50 you gave me, I want more dedicated bullets, and I also want a better automatic rifle and pistol."
Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "That's not acceptable, providing weapons is the boss's duty. We are like Grasshoppers tied to the same string, and sticking together is the best choice.
We all should admit that people can change, especially when the distribution of benefits is uneven, so I want to minimize that possibility."
Saying this, Joe Ga looked down and made some calculations before speaking, "You work for me, let's provisionally set the annual salary at 30,000 US Dollars. It's definitely not a high salary, but it's just for regular work.
If there is combat, you can receive a 1,000 US Dollar combat allowance per day.
If we come across any valuable spoils of war, no matter how much money, it will be split into ten parts; you each take two parts, and I take six parts.
Most importantly, I must deal with the contents of this arms depot on my own. When money is made, it will be divided into five parts; each of you will take one part, and I will take three parts.
If you agree, we will proceed according to this plan in the future. Salaries can be adjusted according to the state of my business, spoils of war will be adjusted depending on the number of people involved in combat, but the arms depot matters will never change.
You must understand how much risk I've taken on, and the cost of disposing of these things.
I have a rough plan that might dispose of some of the arms here and also get us out of this hot potato, but it will take some time.
Before everything is over, I hope you keep this place a secret, never to speak of it in front of anyone but us three, not even in your sleep."
Having finished, Joe Ga spread his hands looking at the two with strange expressions and said, "I've finished talking, who agrees, who disagrees?"
