The Shah's royal family has never lacked ruthlessness, but even the crown prince was shocked by Joe's boss's brutal methods!
They had agreed to just chat for a while, but Joe's boss went in and beheaded Ben Abdullah, along with cutting off the right hands of several important officers of the Shah National Guard.
Ben Abdullah was not only the commander of the National Guard, but during his tenure, he used his power to weave an intricate web of interests within the Shah's military.
To deal with such a person requires extreme caution, because once he is dead, his die-hard followers will instinctively feel cornered, and their choices will be either to flee or to rebel on the spot.
For a few minutes, the crown prince thought he had already won and even prepared a huge check for Joe's boss, but this move by Joe's boss significantly tarnished his 'victory,' slowing down the process of unifying the Shah's military forces and possibly facing unnecessary risks...
