Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1014 - 948: Impossible Tasks Made Possible
Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, touching his chin and said, "I know this guy, and I didn't see any sign that he's gay.
But if he's gay, wouldn't it be more advantageous for his wife to get a divorce?"
Peggy exclaimed in surprise, "You actually know Jim Clark?"
Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "I'm planning to establish an 'Arctic Fox Foundation' recently, and that guy came up with a donation of 10 million on his own."
Peggy opened her mouth, looking at Mountain Eagle in disbelief, and shouted, "That guy gave you 10 million too?"
Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy's astonished appearance, smiling, and said, "To be precise, it's 10 million a year, but that depends on whether both parties are happy with the cooperation."
Hearing this, Peggy covered her face to process it, saying gloomily, "That guy is such a miser, how could he be so generous?"
As she spoke, Peggy forcefully grabbed Mountain Eagle's arm, looking at him eagerly, begging, "Then we won't need Miss Li's help, you help me out.
I promise whatever I agreed with that guy will be done, you back me up, and make sure he won't threaten me in the future."
After saying this, Peggy watched Mountain Eagle, who was lost in thought, rubbing her soft chest against his arm, and said seductively, "I'm out of money, but I can sleep with you. If you like, Angie can join too..."
Mountain Eagle was startled by what Peggy said, then unhappily pushed away this troublesome woman, disdainfully saying, "Paying with sleep, wouldn't that be too cheap for me?"
Even though Mountain Eagle was speaking the truth, Peggy was still taken aback with anger after hearing it...
Now, as a celebrity in the underworld and a billionaire, wanting to hire him to solve problems is not just about money, but would take a very, very large amount.
Thinking just a night of sleep would get him to work, it indeed doesn't match in terms of value!
Primarily because Peggy was too forward before, showing no intention of 'holding back' when facing Mountain Eagle, leading to a significant devaluation of her sexual value.
Initially, she didn't think in that direction, just wanted to use gender advantage to mess around with Mountain Eagle, hoping to quickly deepen their relationship for future cooperation and communication.
Women have this kind of advantage, as long as they're willing to let go and open up, their social costs are much lower than men's.
And these two points were obviously not obstacles for Peggy...
However, unfortunately, now that she had let go, a simple 'friendship' wasn't enough to offset the cost of hiring Mountain Eagle.
Thinking of giving up her old tricks and hitting Mountain Eagle's target, Peggy was full of grievances and didn't know where to express them...
But women always have some advantages, facing Mountain Eagle's 'sarcasm', she glared and punched him, unhappily saying, "Don't you have any manners?"
Mountain Eagle was just messing around, helping Peggy was just a handy thing for her, and he thought since Peggy had been here for a while and had gathered a lot of information, maybe she had something he wanted to know...
Looking at Peggy's playful expression, Mountain Eagle put his hands together and apologized with a smile, saying, "Alright, my bad...
I'll give Jim Clark a call..."
As he said this, Mountain Eagle recalled the strange feeling during the video call with Jim Clark and curiously said, "I really couldn't see that guy is actually gay...
Hasn't his wife noticed all these years either?
If this went to court, Jim Clark is bound to lose..."
Peggy sighed helplessly, saying, "The key is how to prove it?
That guy won't give me the chance to have a male subordinate approach him again...
And this is a secret. If this secret gets out from me, I'm finished.
You should know better than me how terrifying a billionaire's fierce revenge can be!
Even if that guy doesn't directly attack me, just exposing my affairs in Silicon Valley would bring many people I've crossed to come after me."
Mountain Eagle was amused by Peggy's face looking like she'd eaten something unpleasant, and he finally understood the whole story. This loyal female boss used the opportunity to fish out her subordinates, exposing the identity of a core figure of Los Zetas, then leveraged the pressure from the US side to force the Mexican government to go to war with Los Zetas, and then she can take the opportunity to rescue people from their warehouse.
Peggy was very clever. She didn't specifically aim to rescue just one person but was prepared to rescue all hostages, which would mobilize US border forces.
Otherwise, a group of mercenaries taking one person across the border might not even make it, and the mercenaries might be killed.
This cunning woman's plan was impeccable layer by layer, but unfortunately, her opponent was a billionaire from Silicon Valley...
The key wasn't how much money the opponent had, but that he was a big shot in the network industry, and 'new money aristocrats' are often heavily hit by divorces.
Because these high-IQ upstarts find it hard to resist some temptations after getting rich, they themselves also become targets for socialites and gold diggers.
As an outstanding figure in the circle, Jim Clark can easily blow up Peggy's 'small business'. Once people who were scammed by Peggy return to their senses, she will be utterly finished.
Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy's shit-eating grin and couldn't help but laugh. He watched curiously as the wicked woman fumbled clumsily with the pistol and said humorously, "So, what are you planning next?"
"Don't tell me you want to personally take part in the rescue operation..."
Hearing that Mountain Eagle's tone had softened, Peggy's face lit up with smiles as she said, "Originally, my plan was to stay in the hotel with Angie and wait for news, and then meet up with the mercenaries at the border after they've rescued the hostages.
When I tipped off the DEA, I negotiated the terms — they'll arrange for immigration and border patrol to assist us there.
But now that I've run into you?
You wouldn't mind protecting us on this trip, right?"
With that, Peggy clasped her hands together at her chest, pleadingly saying, "Mountain Eagle, I've spent a lot of money on intelligence for this mission, and also a hefty sum on hiring manpower, so now I can only rely on myself...
Surely, you wouldn't want to see your friends in danger, right?"
In Mountain Eagle's mind, regardless of Peggy's motivations, she was attempting to rescue those migrants kidnapped by Los Zetas...
This is a good thing!
Meanwhile, Mountain Eagle attempted to re-evaluate the battle zone; it was indeed at a stalemate...
The military's firepower was fierce, and the squad clad in black combat uniforms exhibited exceptional strength, yet New Laredo remained the Los Zetas' territory. In just over ten minutes, Mountain Eagle saw several convoys heading from the city's outskirts to the battle zone for reinforcement. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Under such circumstances, Peggy's planned ambush should be successful...
However, Mountain Eagle's character and approach were entirely different from Peggy's; her objective was just one person, while Mountain Eagle, if involved, would aim to rescue as many kidnapped individuals as possible.
Thus, Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy and seriously asked, "Where are the kidnapped people being held?"
Peggy paused for a moment and then exclaimed in surprise, "They are being held at a farm in the western suburbs, not too far from the border, and it's the Los Zetas organization's smuggling source."
Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "You're certain your target is there, right?"
Peggy resolutely nodded and said, "I'm sure. I bribed a few gang members responsible for the route, who thought I was an agent purchasing for those rich folks and thus gave me many photos. I found the target among them."
Saying this, Peggy took the phone from Angie, flipped through the photo album, and then handed the phone over to Mountain Eagle, saying, "It's her...
Her name is Loli, she's 22 years old, from Costa Rica..."
Mountain Eagle frowned at the photo of the young woman sitting terrified on the ground, hugging her knees, and asked, "Does a Costa Rican need to smuggle? And why would she detour through Mexico to do so?"
Peggy shook her head and said, "I don't know. Logically, Costa Ricans can easily apply for United States visas. Maybe something happened to her, but I am not interested in that — I just want to safely deliver her to Jim Clark."
Mountain Eagle nodded, flipping through the photos on Peggy's phone...
All of them were of women and children, and those gang members 'thoughtfully' hung price tags on them.
One of the photos showed a gang member writing a zip code on the arm of a child who was too terrified to even cry.
The child's eyes were spilling over with fear, yet the surrounding gang members were laughing merrily.
This method of 'writing zip codes' on arms, Mountain Eagle had seen it in Kosovo...
Gang members did this to mark sold 'goods' for easy record keeping and to prevent mistakes during delivery.
Originally, just hearing about it, Mountain Eagle remained relatively composed, but after seeing the actual photos, he felt a bit unsettled...
This was what Razer had previously warned Mountain Eagle about...
He would witness even more scenes difficult to accept in Mexico, and once he unleashed similar spring knife-level firepower, several problems would arise.
At times, acting like a true soldier and fighting with a gun makes everything simpler.
Peggy looked at Mountain Eagle's darkening expression and instinctively shrank her shoulders...
The chill emanating from Mountain Eagle made her perceive a drop in room temperature.
Just as Peggy was about to say something, Mountain Eagle took a deep breath, returned the phone to her, and said in a deep voice, "Give me the precise address coordinates, and your planned escape location...
You must have prepared vehicles, I need to ask you a few questions, then I'll take you to the border."
Peggy noticed Mountain Eagle seemed unsettled, cautiously asking, "You're willing to help..."
Mountain Eagle nodded with a grim expression and said, "Previously I had no interest in these people because I thought they were migrants, and smuggling itself is risky; they must take responsibility for their actions.
But I've changed my mind now. It doesn't matter what they are; all I know is those gang members who kidnapped them deserve to die!"
