Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1006 - 940: New Laredo

One week later, in the city of Laredo, southern Texas...

Mountain Eagle drove around this somewhat desolate-looking city, then arrived at a cafe near the border...

He parked the somewhat old-looking sedan by the roadside, got out of the car dressed in a custom-made bulletproof suit exuding an elite vibe, and walked into the cafe, then was guided by the waiter to the second floor.

After reaching the second floor, Mountain Eagle glanced around the fairly small cafe, walked to a table near the window and sat down. Looking at Daria opposite with a charming smile, he smiled and shook his head, saying: "You seem very happy, do you have some good news?"

Daria nodded slightly with a hint of pride, then pushed several newspapers in front of Mountain Eagle.

Mountain Eagle's Spanish listening and speaking were fine, but reading Spanish newspapers was still a bit challenging...

He glanced at the newspaper's headline and the front-page photo, smiled and said: "Is there some progress on La Cruz, right?"

Looking at Mountain Eagle's nonchalant expression, Daria hesitated and said: "Boss, Tiago attacked the Sinaloa Group's money vault in the suburbs of La Cruz the night before yesterday. They stole US$120 million in cash from there and then set fire to the remaining part they couldn't take away.

Yesterday, they rushed into La Cruz with the money, Tiago used his connections and money to bribe some people, then used superior firepower to clear out the Sinaloa Group gunmen left in La Cruz.

This morning, they used the two roads around La Cruz to ambush the Sinaloa gunmen who came to assist, causing them great losses.

Now, La Cruz has fallen into Tiago's hands, and reportedly there's chaos within the Sinaloa Group, with some advocating for negotiation with Tiago...

So before a unified opinion emerges within Sinaloa, La Cruz can be said to be within our control.

Boss, the current situation is even better than we had planned!

The Sinaloa Group is far less tough than we imagined…"

While Daria was briefing, Mountain Eagle roughly glanced through several newspapers, then nodded slightly...

Striking the Sinaloa Group was a plan he had long finalized, and to avoid any mistakes, Daria and Bangkok Group's Kate had prepared many contingency plans...

First, fabricate a massacre scene in Florida, then involve the media to send Tiago, tasked with attacking Mountain Eagle in Alaska, and his entire family 'to heaven,' followed by Tiago leading a group of prisoners to indignantly escape prison, returning to Mexico to seek justice.

Capturing La Cruz's money vault was originally just the beginning; what Tiago needs to do now is to use La Cruz as a base, establish his footing there, then continuously exert pressure on the Sinaloa Group, and compel 'Shorty Guzman' to come forward for negotiations.

This would create an opportunity for the Bangkok Group to arrest this Sinaloa Group's core leader.

However, some changes have occurred; Mountain Eagle adjusted Tiago's 'target' according to his needs...

He had Kate from the Bangkok Group frame the Florida massacre of Tiago's entire family as a Los Zetas job, even bribing a few fanatic Los Zetas members to release declarations on social media.

Then, Kate from the Bangkok Group contacted the Mexican side, asking them to cooperate and eliminate these deranged guys.

Tiago, as the manager of enforcers for the Sinaloa Group, had never stopped clashing with Los Zetas, and them killing Tiago's whole family made perfect sense.

Now, as a high-ranking figure abandoned by Sinaloa, Tiago, with anger, escaped prison, robbed a money vault while occupying a city, and publicly declared to use this money to fight Los Zetas to the end.

Tiago's image within the Sinaloa Group wasn't actually bad; before being forsaken, he had already reached the edge of the top layer...

The battle in Alaska was just unfortunate for him, and the One hundred million dollars ransom Mountain Eagle offered for him made the Sinaloa Group extremely uncomfortable, further deepening Tiago's tragic image.

Even a worthless ship like Tiago has a few nails onboard; many within the Sinaloa Group sympathize with him, some even feel empathetic, and having long held the position of enforcer leader, he definitely has a few reliable brothers...

Tiago's first stop was La Cruz; that's his hometown, he's very familiar with it, and when he entered with US$120 million in cash, he raised a new team effortlessly.

When he declared war on Los Zetas, the Sinaloa Group found themselves in a stalemate...

Tiago worked for them, originally they should have ransomed him back, but they didn't.

Not redeeming him is one thing, but at the very least they should have taken care of Tiago's family, yet Tiago's entire family was brutally slain by Los Zetas.

Now Tiago is back, he robbed the old employer's money vault and took over their territory, yet announced to fight to the end with Los Zetas, not uttering a word about the old employer's betrayal.

This only deepens the sympathy of those unaware of the situation…

In the world of gang warfare, black and white are taken lightly, but basic 'ethics' still have a foothold.

Honestly speaking, nobody would oppose saying the Sinaloa Group owes Tiago now!

At this point, different voices began to emerge within the Sinaloa Group, with some advocating for negotiating with Tiago to resolve the issue.

Some even thought as long as Tiago was willing to return the stolen money, they could offer some help to attack Los Zetas, given that this gang had long been in conflict with the Sinaloa Group.

Mountain Eagle didn't know what Daria and Kate discussed in detail, nor did he care…

To ensure the operation goes smoothly, Blood Fox and a group of old-timers, along with Lamarres from the Snow Fox Mercenary Group and his men, also went over.

With the assistance of General Sid's modified soldiers and a team of elite Assassins Seals who had been lurking in Mexico, the process went quite smoothly.

Mountain Eagle always believed that whether it was "Arthur" or the boss behind "White Whale," they were bait thrown out proactively by the Death Angel, so he would not be led by the nose to focus his main force on this side.

The Sinaloa Group was the primary target of Mountain Eagle's revenge, and since the Death Angel was a channel vendor for Sinaloa, capturing "Shorty Guzman" might bring even greater rewards.

Mountain Eagle believed that the Death Angel could give up the ISIS gunmen, but he didn't believe that guy would give up lucrative avenues…

Wanting to become a channel vendor for Sinaloa wasn't something he could achieve alone; many people must be involved. If they catch one, they can trace the whole vine.

For Mountain Eagle, the best approach now is to eliminate all interferences, and then strike from multiple angles, effectively avoiding being led by the Death Angel or used as a pawn!

With Blood Fox overseeing the situation in La Cruz, Mountain Eagle was absolutely assured, and his purpose for being here was directly across…

As Mountain Eagle contemplated, he gazed south of the café, across the river to the border city of Mexico, "New Laredo"…

As a vital city connected to Texas, New Laredo is the land transportation hub at the US-Mexico border.

It could be said, without reservation, that in terms of infrastructure, commerce, or population size, Mexico's New Laredo City is more prosperous than Laredo City within Texas.

However, behind the prosperity of New Laredo lies another scene…

This city is located in Mexico's Tamaulipas state, and this state, because it borders the United States, is a crucial passage contested by the Gulf Group and Los Zetas.

Due to the violent nature of Los Zetas, New Laredo City has been marked as the most dangerous US-Mexico border city.

Residents on both sides of the border have become numb to the gunfights!

In 2003, this city witnessed the bizarre event of 200 police officers being simultaneously dismissed for shielding drug dealers, leaving the position of police chief vacant for two years until a brave one came forward in 2005, only to be killed 9 hours after taking office!

Following the announcement by Mexico's President Calderon in 2006 to start a drug war, New Laredo fell into a dark period.

The rulers here were never government officials or police but drug cartels; the Gulf Group and Los Zetas treated this place as a battlefield…

Eventually, Los Zetas, with their more violent and brutal methods, gained the upper hand, forcing the Gulf Group to contract to the eastern coastal side of Tamaulipas state.

These years, Los Zetas have been severely hit, but their lingering power still controls New Laredo.

And that woman Claudia Felix, who loves flaunting her wealth online, is the underground godmother of New Laredo.

Mountain Eagle found it hard to understand why a drug dealer who started out as a mistress would be so keen to showcase herself to everyone.

She would take photos of herself lying on a bed full of cash and pose her children in bathtubs full of money, showing off those so-called limited luxury goods…

The crazy woman is most famous for her photo holding a pink AK…

She recruited retired military personnel with high salaries, waged war unhesitatingly with the Gulf Group and the Sinaloa Group…

She directed assassinations, kidnappings, beheadings, and even large-scale massacres…

Yet such a person could still attract a massive following online, while also exposing Los Zetas completely in people's sight.

Some might say this woman was brainless, but since she took over Los Zetas in 2014, this terror and drug trafficking group swept away the previous decline, becoming a super gang adored by youngsters.

Young people were infatuated with this seductive "Drug Queen," becoming addicted to the luxurious fantasy she created, and then throwing themselves into Los Zetas' criminal affairs, hoping they could eventually lead the same lifestyle.

Among them, there are even a batch of girls, self-brainwashing like fanatics, willingly joining Los Zetas' military training camps to become ruthless Assassins.

Right now, this "Drug Queen" is right in the opposite New Laredo City, "Arthur" is with this woman…
