Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1042 - 976: Diplomacy

The brunette woman still hasn't reported her name...

At this moment, Mountain Eagle also realized that this brunette woman wasn't from the CIA as he guessed, but from the Belgar Lake Foundation.

Back then, when the Belgar Lake Foundation was able to squeeze Boss Pu of Russia's throat and make him sign unequal treaties, it certainly wasn't just the effort of England...

In fact, after WWII, the Anglosphere alliance led by the UK and US already began to show signs of indistinguishability.

In the early years, it was mainly people from England, but later, because of reforms starting from Thatcher and continuous economic downturns, a large flow of capital went to the United States, gradually shifting the leadership.

However, although England has declined, they still remain at the forefront in the diplomatic field to this day.

Even after the millennium, England may not have the bullish toughness of the United States in global diplomatic affairs, but they wield more influence.

Because a bunch of old guys who participated in the post-WWII division of the world are still alive and kicking.

These old guys, who have firsthand historical experience and are well versed in all treaties and insider affairs from back then, are the architects and preservers of the current world structure.

No matter if it's Africa, South America, or Southeast Asia, those countries lacking historical depth, even if one or two outstanding political talents emerge, they will stumble by not understanding historical intricacies, offending the wrong people, leading to total failure.

This phenomenon has actually spread to Europe, with a large group of new generation EU politicians emerging, lacking understanding and reverence for history, with many unfamiliar even with post-WWII treaties, let alone the emphasized aspects in the series of underground diplomatic endeavours, the so-called 'unwritten rules'.

So aside from indulging in grand rhetoric about their governing philosophies in the media, these politicians often face great challenges during diplomatic negotiations.

Simply put, it's like your granddad and my granddad talked back then and signed some treaties, but some facets aren't publicly discussed...

For instance, my granddad compromised in the treaty, while your granddad promised to consistently align with my granddad on crucial industries.

These off-the-record promises demand a strong and hereditary regime to uphold them.

No matter which country, those political families maintain their dominance not just through accumulated connections but also through their own inheritances.

Among these inheritances are countless such historical secrets enabling subsequent generations of these political houses to navigate political and diplomatic issues without detours.

And this Belgar Lake Foundation was established by a group of post-WWII old Monsters who participated in world division; they rarely appear in public view, but their influence spans both the political and commercial realms, maintaining significant global sway due to the presence of these old Monsters.

Mountain Eagle as an Easterner knows that East has a term for foreigners who've helped them...

"Old friends of East people"

Some people on this list never appear in the media, only surfacing in key meetings or diplomatic events, tucked away in a corner of press releases.

Mountain Eagle isn't sure if these people are from the Belgar Lake Foundation, but he believes such individuals trusted by both sides and serving as political bridges are the pivotal force for connecting nations towards globalization.

The brunette woman is just a small figure doing dirty work, her involvement means the Belgar Lake Foundation doesn't regard Mountain Eagle as that important...

This is merely a condition!

Mountain Eagle's existence is somewhat bothersome; roping him in benefits their upcoming work, hence the proposal.

Though smiling outwardly, Mountain Eagle was extremely furious inside, he hadn't been underestimated like this for many years!

A woman who hasn't even given her name shoots at his leg and tells him that surrendering grants unimaginable power and wealth.

This isn't recruitment, it's humiliation!

Seeing the brunette woman's ugly expression, Mountain Eagle laughed loudly as he broke free from the binding tape, grabbed the handgun from her hand, and shoved it into her mouth...

Then grabbing her by the throat, he lifted her and slammed her onto the table, leaning closer and snarled, "Belgar Lake Foundation, you really flatter yourselves…

How could those old men covet the meager wealth of Los Zetas?

You're just a marginal figure, fearing your boss isn't even comparable to your so-called foundation's fringe individual 'Senator William Hert'.

I guess you're merely a branch under the Belgar Lake Foundation, you've erred, but your greed remains unchecked...

Death Angel targets precisely you, right?

You also want to find Death Angel, but lack many clues, hence you desire not only the Human-shaped Ledger but also 'Arthur'!"

Seeing the violent contraction of the brunette woman's pupils, Mountain Eagle nodded with realization as black-clad soldiers outside rammed through the door, pushing a table to block the door, and shouted, "Nobody move, or this woman dies."

Mountain Eagle against the table sensed the impact transmitted from the door panel, grabbing the brunette woman by the neck to sit her up, then aimed the gun at her thigh and pulled the Trigger...

"Snap" a soft sound...

When special ammunition injected toxin into the brunette woman, intense pain elicited her piercing scream...

"Ah..."

The shrill scream halted the movement of those outside pressing on the door...

Mountain Eagle saw several black-clad soldiers rushing to the window aiming guns at him; he shielded himself with the brunette woman in front, then fumbled through her pockets to find a mobile phone...

Quickly dialing Kobe's number, he pressed speakerphone and placed the phone aside...

The moment the call connected, Mountain Eagle shouted, "Kobe, I ran into trouble...

Death Angel targets some in the Belgar Lake Foundation, now these folks have come to me.

Brace yourself, your investigation in Texas might yield nothing…"

Upon hearing the screams on the phone, Kobe hesitated for a moment then shouted, "FUCK, Mountain Eagle, don't do anything rash...

What is the Belgar Lake Foundation?"

Mountain Eagle watched a black-clad soldier at the window making a call, solemnly said, "They're people we can't mess with!

Kobe, I'm about to break out, contact your superiors and the people in the White House, I don't want to be hunted across America.

Remember, the Belgar Lake Foundation also isn't monolithic, among them, someone through the CIA supports and tolerates terrorists, they chose Death Angel, but now Death Angel is out of control.

The dirty bomb in Death Angel's hands is the only bargaining chip keeping those big shots calm, and I hold the sole clue 'Arthur'. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Tell those big shots if they're against me, then I'll kill 'Arthur', and watch you all go down."

Having said that, Mountain Eagle slammed the phone forcefully, then single-handedly grabbed the back of the brunette woman's neck and lifted her, kicking the table blocking the door aside, he roared and charged out...
