Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1002 - 936: Interrogation

In the dim dungeon of the Seaside Manor, "White Whale" sat slumped on a chair, covered in blood...

Galahad, with his injured back straightened, stared coldly at this middleman shark, and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't care about the 'Round Table Knight' at all, so why spend money to acquire it?"

"White Whale" twisted his body in pain and said with a bitter smile, "The 'Spartans' were crippled in Mexico, and I need a top-ranking team to attract business, what's wrong with that?

My primary target wasn't the 'Round Table Knight'; it was your boss, 'Arthur,' who approached me and offered a tempting price, which is why I invested in the financially troubled 'Round Table Knight.'

Saying this, 'White Whale' looked down at his own mutilated hands and said in pain, "I can understand your anger, but you must realize that you're all mercenaries; 'business is business.'

As the owner of the 'Round Table Knight,' when someone offered a price I couldn't refuse, having you guys who left become the target, this is a normal business act for me and even for your former comrades."

Galahad was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and said, "You claim you acquired the 'Round Table Knight,' then why did Gao Wen and the others not only lose their shares but also end up in debt?"

'White Whale' twitched his lips slightly, smiling bitterly as he said, "I invested in the 'Round Table Knight' at 'Arthur's' invitation.

Business is business, and everything I did was consensual after discussion, and the debts do not apply only to them; I'm the major shareholder, so I bear the largest portion of the debt."

After hearing this, Galahad shook his head slightly and said, "'Arthur' exploited the sentiments and trust Gao Wen and the others had towards the Round Table Knight, having them mortgage all their assets, while actually borrowing from your finance company.

You clearly know that the most valuable part of the 'Round Table Knight' is Gao Wen and those old knights, so you wanted to use the debt to trap them, working them till they drop dead."

'White Whale' did not bother to deny after hearing this, looking down at the pool of blood forming beneath him, and said painfully, "Such is business; everyone must face the consequences of their choices.

Moreover, it wasn't me who stripped them of everything, but 'Arthur,' the one you trusted the most.

Galahad, the 'Round Table Knight' did a lot of dirty work for England, and when you were at your worst, 'Arthur' used that dark material to blackmail some people she had no right to challenge.

You should have been silently buried, but 'Arthur' got scared and wanted out.

Last year, 'Arthur' lost tens of millions in the futures market, by then the 'Round Table Knight' already owed a lot and was facing control and encirclement by the British Military Intelligence.

It was only after completing the acquisition that I discovered how bad the financial state of the 'Round Table Knight' was. It was 'Arthur' who proposed loans to maintain daily operations, and it was also 'Arthur' who took off with the money.

In fact, I am also a victim, and whether you admit it or not, I was the one who saved the 'Round Table Knight.'

Galahad ignored the glaring holes in 'White Whale's explanations, looking coldly at the suffering fat man before him, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's 'Arthur'?"

'White Whale' was clearly not some tough guy, nor did he feel obliged to keep 'Arthur's' secrets. He painfully looked up at Galahad, whose eyes showed no emotion, and said with a bitter smile, "You'll never find her..."

Saying this, 'White Whale' shut his mouth and leaned back against the chair with his eyes closed, no longer speaking. He knew that if he revealed everything, he would have no value to Galahad.

Moreover, he was well aware that Galahad wasn't the master here; his previous suffering and confessions were all to gather leverage.

Now the information about 'Arthur' was his leverage, offering him a slight chance to live.

Seeing 'White Whale' fallen silent, Robbin, somewhat angered, moved forward, intending to 'wake' the guy with a hand when the intercom attached to the dungeon wall sounded...

Robbin stepped over to pick up the receiver, placed it to his ear, and after a few seconds, responded with an "Mm", then walked over to Galahad and whispered, "'Mountain Eagle' wants us to bring him up..."

Galahad sighed tiredly at hearing this, then nodded and said, "Do as he says..."

......

Mountain Eagle and Kobe, together in a sunlit bedroom of the manor, met the infamous 'White Whale.'

With old-fashioned shackles on both his hands and feet, 'White Whale,' dragged into the room by Robbin, immediately spoke upon seeing Mountain Eagle, "Mountain Eagle, you're Mountain Eagle. We once spoke over the phone; I even thought about partnering with you..."

Mountain Eagle, adjusting the LCD TV, glanced back at 'White Whale,' gesturing for Robbin to seat this bigshot in a chair placed beside the bed...

Then he took a pair of handcuffs from Kobe, securing 'White Whale's' shackled hands to the railing of the bed-side window.

Seeing this fat man squeezed into the gap between the bed and the window with quite an awkward posture, Mountain Eagle nodded satisfyingly and said, "I received your call in Moscow; you wanted to introduce me to a prince from Bahrain, to be his security chief.

I was pretty excited at the time, after all, the number one middleman in the world showed interest in me.

But seeing the plight of the 'Round Table Knight,' I'm very grateful I didn't accept your offer back then."

'White Whale' watched Robbin leave and the door close, his gaze sweeping over Kobe, then said with a bitter smile, "There are some misunderstandings between me and Galahad; the current state of the 'Round Table Knight' is not my doing."

Mountain Eagle waved off and said, "You don't have to explain to me; I'm not interested in your excuses...

Old pal, I did a background check on you, almost everyone who has worked with you praises your professionalism, yet not one single hired person feels like they can work long-term with you.

They all say you offer highly lucrative tasks, but nobody wants to work with you long term.

Moreover, I'm really curious, why is it that the people you hire never seem to have a good end?

Not to mention the Round Table Knights, previously it was the 'Spartans' too...

When they were in trouble, you discarded them like trash in Phoenix."

'White Whale' was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This is business, I have always strictly followed contracts.

Strictly speaking, I am just the investor, they have autonomy, so they don't completely count as my people.

I gave them enough money, so they should bear the risks involved in the work."

Mountain Eagle wasn't moved by 'White Whale's explanation, he knew this type of person too well...

These people usually talk about 'loyalty', but when something goes wrong, they use contracts to justify their behavior.

Humanitarian care or friendship, in the hearts of such people, are things to be spoken about, not acted upon.

Specifically what 'White Whale' did to the 'Round Table Knights', Mountain Eagle had no interest in knowing, anyway, it's the same old trick, with someone as an inside collaborator, those old knights couldn't avoid being trapped.

This is not the focus of Mountain Eagle's concern...

'White Whale' saw Mountain Eagle ignoring him and instead taking out two bottles of mineral water, handing one to Kobe nearby...

He licked his dry lips and painfully said, "Give me some water to drink...

Then please tell me, what do you want from me?

If you are angry because of the 'Round Table Knights' attacking you in Romania, then I tell you, you are looking for the wrong person.

I'm just the middleman, the one who wants your life is not me!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Mountain Eagle heard this and exchanged a look with Kobe, then made an inviting gesture...

At this time, Kobe was also not polite, he turned on the camera mounted on the tripod, then tapped the earphone on his ear to notify 'Lie', the micro-expression interrogation expert in another room, to get ready, then he looked at 'White Whale' and said in a deep voice, "You are 'White Whale'..."

'White Whale' was taken aback, then nodded slightly and said, "I am."

Kobe paused for a second while looking into 'White Whale's eyes, then said, "You are Moroccan, your real name is Alan Spigler."

'White Whale's eyes flickered slightly, then he said stiffly, "I am American..."

Kobe nodded, then asked, "Your ex-wife and two children live in Switzerland..."

'White Whale' seemed to be hit in the sore spot upon hearing this, he pulled the shackles forcefully, his expression contorted and said, "What exactly do you want to know?"

Kobe heard a prompt from the earphone, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Who hired you to employ the 'Round Table Knights' to go to Romania?"

'White Whale' froze for a moment, then his gaze slightly dropped, and said, "I am the middleman, I need to keep my client's secret!"

Kobe heard some noise in the earphone, then stared sharply at 'White Whale's fat face, and said in a deep voice, "The person who contacted you is the Death Angel, right?"

'White Whale's expression froze for a moment, then he pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "Since you know, why do you still ask me?"

Kobe listened, stared at 'White Whale's fat face in silence for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "You don't know where 'Death Angel' is either, so you are of no use to us."

With that, Kobe stood up, patted Mountain Eagle on the shoulder, and said, "He's useless..."

Watching Kobe leave the room without any reluctance and then heavily closing the door, Mountain Eagle tutted and shook his head at 'White Whale', saying, "Buddy, do you want to know what you will face next?"

Saying that, Mountain Eagle picked up the TV remote and turned on the LCD TV on the wall, then pretended to cover his eyes with unwillingness and walked onto the balcony, leaning on the railing to enjoy the wind...

A few minutes later, a handsomely dressed man opened the door and walked into the room, and as he circled around 'White Whale', the influential middleman let out a terrified scream...

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?

Don't touch me, don't touch me...

Mountain Eagle...

Get this guy out!

I have what you want here...

Get him out, out, fuck, out..."
