Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 938 - 877: Setting the Course
Mountain Eagle unexpectedly learned the ins and outs of the situation from Kobe of the Refugee Group. Although some details were still unconfirmed, Mountain Eagle felt it was enough for Arctic Fox, who was solely focused on revenge.
Because he's found a real direction for Blood Fox and the others...
Instead of recklessly heading into battle zones like Syria and Iraq, attacking Death Angel from the side and cutting off Iblis's strongest support, leveraging NATO and the 'Hyena' to dismantle Iblis's operations, forcing him out of ISIS's comfort zone, would create a better opportunity to kill him.
After hanging up the phone, Mountain Eagle walked into the room and found Blood Fox meditating...
Earlier that day, they had undergone two thrilling battles, and Blood Fox had been injured repeatedly...
Although they were only minor injuries, it was quite serious for an old man in his sixties.
In the end, they didn't retreat with a vehicle but an old speedboat, escaping through Snagov Lake to avoid being pursued, then Mountain Eagle used cash power to buy a broken car at a remote farm, circled back to the Bucharest City Center.
Originally, Mountain Eagle planned to go trouble the 'Bayonet Gang' of Gypsy origin near a small town north of Bucharest, but the appearance of people from the Edward Foundation changed his mind.
Because Crow followed the guys who were covering their tracks on the highway to the city center...
What surprised Mountain Eagle even more was that these people were staying at the Radisson Hotel.
The intelligence from Kobe made Mountain Eagle basically determine the reasons and process by which Arctic Fox and the Holy Grail Knight were set up, but the sudden appearance of the Edward Foundation piqued his curiosity.
He wanted to know if there was any connection between Iblis and the Edward Foundation...
Now that these people are already exposed, the 'Bayonet Gang' isn't going to run away, of course, he had to choose to take down the higher-value target and attempt to gather useful information from them.
Mountain Eagle woke up Blood Fox and the others, relayed the information he received, and gave the old guys time to digest it.
The atmosphere in the apartment's living room was oppressive, and finally, the more ill-tempered Eddie angrily kicked the coffee table, saying, "I told you 'Silver Fox' was unreliable, he didn't even prepare for a traitor like Iblis...
What are we waiting for, buy tickets to Iraq, I'm going to disembowel Iblis and take back what's ours."
Blood Fox glanced at Eddie, shook his head, and said, "The channels we used to be familiar with are also known to Iblis, we don't even know who's trustworthy now."
Looking at Mountain Eagle, Blood Fox said tiredly, "I have no objection to you re-establishing an 'Arctic Fox' in Thailand and taking commissions from the Department of Homeland Security.
But do you really believe you can find Death Angel?
If that guy really has two dirty bombs hidden in the United States, even if we find him, we can't do anything about it, because someone like that wouldn't keep something so dangerous on them.
Based on my experience dealing with such people, at the crucial last moment, he's likely to put his life on the negotiation table.
Mountain Eagle, I can probably guess your thoughts, but recklessly getting involved in such a high-level event will bring you endless trouble."
Mountain Eagle shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Things have reached this point, can I wash my hands of it by abandoning you?
Instead of blindly heading to the unfamiliar territory of Iraq, searching for Iblis under the threat of the 'Hyena,' I prefer to target Death Angel.
As long as he dies, the situation in Iraq will be overturned.
This time ISIS completely blew their cover, once NATO's forces go all out, even if Iblis survives by luck, he'll be skinned alive.
Guys, you need to know that Iblis is still using the Arctic Fox's name, if we don't establish a relationship with the US Department of Homeland Security and make our stance clear in advance, once this ends, Arctic Fox will become the thorn in NATO's side.
The consequences of that, we can't bear!
Unless you're willing to give up the 'Arctic Fox' name, no matter where you go, Arctic Fox will be hunted by everyone."
After listening to the causes and consequences, Blood Fox was well aware of the likelihood of Mountain Eagle's words coming true...
But pushing Mountain Eagle to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security under immense pressure, if the Death Angel's issue isn't resolved, the consequences will likely fall on Mountain Eagle, and the enterprises he's built in the past could suffer a severe blow.
They've all been busy their whole lives and managed to save up a hundred million dollars for Arctic Fox, but Mountain Eagle...
Even without counting the industries in Thailand, Alaska, and El Salvador, just the funds that Mr. Poincaré and his partners are operating, belonging entirely to Mountain Eagle, already exceed one billion dollars.
And if you include other foreign investments from various influential people, and the Southeast Asia laundering operations handled by Mr. Poincaré, the scale has exceeded one and a half billion dollars...
As a billionaire, Mountain Eagle has nothing to gain from such actions.
Blood Fox really didn't want Mountain Eagle to gamble his career on Arctic Fox...
Mountain Eagle was quite open-minded, seeing Blood Fox's concerns, he laughed and waved, saying, "Don't think so much about it...
In your eyes, the Arctic Fox represents the value of life, but to some extent, it's also a burden.
But I'm different. After such a long time of adjustment and integration, the Arctic Fox and its descendants have a huge value in my eyes as 'high-quality assets'...
In the past, the Silver Fox was always conservative, so it was difficult for me to fully unleash the potential of the Arctic Fox's descendants, but now it's different...
And most importantly, I have seen you as my family for a long time, I won't stand by and watch you old guys blindly chase after Iblis!
Blood Fox, from the day you pulled me out of the Mekong River, we've been in this together!
That's how I see it, and that's how people outside see it, and you should see it that way too..."
Mi Lu, standing aside, looked at Blood Fox with hesitation, and this old-fashioned sniper kicked the coffee table impatiently, speaking to Blood Fox with displeasure: "Blood Fox, the Mountain Eagle is not your son...
Even if he and your son have had similar experiences, even if he took over tasks that your son couldn't handle while alive...
He's not your son, you can't treat him like a little baby that needs care, in fact, you're the old guy who needs caring.
Mountain Eagle is also an Arctic Fox, even if he doesn't admit he's a mercenary, even if he's never participated in an Arctic Fox battle, we old guys recognize him, he's our family brother.
You can't expect him to make achievements to take care of the Arctic Fox's descendants while worrying he might be influenced by the Arctic Fox...
Your contradictory thoughts are starting to affect your judgment!"
Mi Lu's words brought the crowd to silence for a moment...
Blood Fox considers Mountain Eagle as a son, a topic rarely mentioned among them, but Mountain Eagle often felt it.
Mi Lu had mentioned long ago that Blood Fox's son had a similar background and experiences as him...
A top student from a prestigious university, a high-level executive in a state-owned enterprise, with a promising future, then one day a gang kidnapped his child, and he did whatever it took to rescue him...
The difference is, Mountain Eagle saved his child, while Blood Fox's son not only failed to save his child, but also lost himself.
The death of Blood Fox's son was tied to an internal conflict amongst Russian oligarchs, afterward, Blood Fox led the Arctic Fox in a bloody rampage within Russia's interior; eventually, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs that smoothed things over, but the Arctic Fox was labeled as unwelcome in Russia.
Ever since Mountain Eagle awoke from the Mekong River, Blood Fox has been guiding his actions, not just using him, but with a mix of complex emotions and purposes.
Seeing Mi Lu's words causing everyone to fall silent, Mountain Eagle hesitated for a moment, then with a somewhat helpless expression, patted Blood Fox's arm and said, "Technically, you're old enough to be my dad, but I lost my dad when I was a kid and I don't want anyone to be my dad.
So, I prefer you to be my family, my peer, my comrade..."
Mountain Eagle looked at Eddie beside him continuously winking at him, and said irritably, "Why are you winking at me?
If Camel suddenly said he didn't want to be your comrade, but wanted to be your dad, what would you think?"
Eddie, with indifference, spread his hands and said, "If Camel is willing to make Tiffany my girlfriend, calling him dad wouldn't be impossible..."
"Fuck you…"
Eddie's hellish answer made everyone give him the middle finger...
Mountain Eagle said, a bit bemused, "You're really the old stallion, not picky at all, even eyeing a fierce woman like Tiffany; I think your wife Amelia will eventually castrate you!"
Camel put his arm around Eddie's neck, choking him until his tongue stuck out...
"Take back what you just said, or one day I'll shoot you…"
The banter among the old guys put Blood Fox in a strange state. A few minutes later, the old fellow suddenly smiled relievedly, looked at Mountain Eagle, and said, "Now that you're the leader, whatever you decide, we'll follow…"
Speaking, Blood Fox stood up, moved his somewhat stiff body, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Indeed, I previously made some misjudgments due to my own issues, but these old bones can still move a bit...
Your cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security I agree with, but that's a matter for later; we can't stay long in Romania. Now you need to tell me what our purpose here is?"
Seeing Blood Fox's state restored, Mountain Eagle smiled and pointed out the window, saying, "The people from the Edward Foundation are staying at the Radisson Hotel; if you feel up to it, we'll visit them tonight.
Once we've dealt with those people, we'll visit the Bayonet Gang's territory!
Revenge, even if initially unable to find the key target, shouldn't let them remain idle, always make them feel the pressure...
That way, they won't forget what they've done!"
