Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 946 - 884: The Reason Behind It

Mountain Eagle opened the box with the code given by the Red-haired Woman...

The box had an unusual electronic lock, and once opened, everything inside was clearly visible...

The suitcase wasn't large, and its contents were quite chaotic: several sets of sexy lingerie, a handgun with two magazines, tens of thousands of euros in cash, several passports from different countries, and a few old, yellowed files.

When the Red-haired Woman saw Mountain Eagle opening the suitcase, her gaze flickered slightly before she painfully looked at those files, saying, "You can open and take a look..."

Frowning, Mountain Eagle glanced at the Red-haired Woman, casually flipped open one of the files, and was surprised to find it was Mi Lu's file...

Looking at the handsome guy in the photo, Mountain Eagle handed the file to Mi Lu, then opened the other documents...

Blood Fox, Camel, Pangolin, Razer, Odin, Eagle Claw, and even the owner of the restaurant opposite Moscow Red Square were there, but Eddie was missing...

Mountain Eagle briefly skimmed through the content of these files, which were mostly outdated information, possibly even from before these people joined the Arctic Foxes. Based on the information, it was practically impossible to locate this group of old-timers.

Yet, it pointed out a very important issue, which was that Iblis and the Edward Foundation had deep cooperation, selling out all the information on the Arctic Foxes' elders.

However, these documents were clearly originals, meaning the Edward Foundation people had run through numerous archives to extract information about these old-timers. Even with intelligence provided by Iblis, this proved the Edward Foundation's intelligence gathering capabilities from another angle.

After all, finding the records of this old group required considerable resources. It wasn't a high-tech task but demanded huge manpower and connections.

For instance, the already deceased Golden Triangle Pangolin...

Mountain Eagle looked at his file, which only contained an old piece of stationery and a black-and-white photo. The photo was blurred and faded; without the handwritten code name "Pangolin" on the stationery, he wouldn't have been able to associate the person in the picture with the old man lying in bed.

The stationery had a handwritten proof of enlistment from the Laotian military, with no mention of Pangolin's background or origins.

Seemingly meaningless information revealed quite a lot...

Compared to pervasive surveillance, this deep digging over twenty years better demonstrated the opponent's capabilities.

But for old guns like Blood Fox, these things wouldn't scare them...

Especially Camel...

The U.S. military's digital archives were decent, but while his file clearly marked his birthplace and service unit, his movements and interpersonal relationships post-retirement were blank.

Camel threw the document back into the suitcase, shook his head at the Red-haired Woman, and said, "These things prove nothing. Why are you looking for our information?

There's really no need for this, because once Iblis shows up, we'll be looking for him."

With her head lowered, the Red-haired Woman said, "Iblis has important tasks; he doesn't want a bunch of dangerous old guys on his tail, so he disclosed your basic information to us..."

As she spoke, the Red-haired Woman glanced at Mountain Eagle, her expression complex as she said, "Mountain Eagle caused significant losses to the Edward Foundation, so you also became targets. Some among us believe targeting those useless Arctic Fox descendants isn't as effective as focusing on you, as it would be easier to mobilize Mountain Eagle.

We succeeded, but the outcome wasn't what I wanted...

Can you tell me how you found me?

The Demon Group has very rich experience, and we have collaborators within Romania. My whereabouts should have been confidential."

Mountain Eagle shook his head, saying, "That's a business secret, and as a captive, you aren't qualified to ask me questions.

I think you haven't disclosed all the details of your cooperation with Iblis. I want to know what role you played in the battle outside Baghdad.

The Edward Foundation isn't a charity; first, you used the acquired Tiriac Bank to transfer the Arctic Foxes' pension to Iblis, then helped him target these old-timers.

Is it purely to target me?"

The Red-haired Woman shifted her injured shoulder, then nodded seriously, saying, "Yes, it's specifically to target you...

Aren't you aware by now? When you uploaded the video of Chuck and the Demon Group's captives online, you caused us massive losses.

The Edward Foundation has always been a very secretive organization, almost semi-invisible in the underworld, yet you exposed us all at once, effectively putting the Edward Foundation into the spotlight.

This situation is unacceptable to many of our organizational shareholders, many of whom are big figures, even public figures.

Their assets are spread worldwide, and if their identities are exposed, the losses would be incalculable.

Mountain Eagle, the war you sparked yourself..."

The Red-haired Woman looked at Mountain Eagle with a mocking expression and said, "Alright, so far it looks like you've always been the winner, but I have to tell you, from this moment on, you'll find that all your businesses will start facing obstacles.

Your money laundering network in Southeast Asia, the Financial Office in Singapore, and the enterprises in Alaska, you'll find they will encounter overwhelming resistance in whatever they try to do."

Mountain Eagle didn't care at all about the Red-haired Woman's threat, because he had a very clear understanding of his enterprises...

In Thailand, the Pasok Family is providing cover, Alaska has now gained a foothold, and he never intended for these businesses on both sides to grow too large.

He has already transferred the assets in Alaska under Xiao Wan's name, and sooner or later, the ones in Thailand will be transferred to Tessa's name as well.

The Financial Office in Singapore is a problem, but Mountain Eagle's current assets have passed the stage where he needs to take risks on high leverage.

Not putting all eggs in one basket is a basic quality of a finance person; in fact, he has already begun shifting his mindset, planning to use low-risk 'arbitrage' as the primary means of profit-making in the future, apart from profiting from the intelligence obtained from the U.S. high-levels.

Even if the Edward Foundation can interfere with various countries' interest rates and exchange rates, heavily damaging the Financial Office on the financial market is impossible.

The Red-haired Woman's threat is meaningless to him...

Because she doesn't even know that Mountain Eagle's real ideal is the 'Shadow Fleet.'

In Mountain Eagle's eyes, the current role of the Financial Office is to bind together enough interest groups and individuals, which is far more important than making money.

Looking at the Red-haired Woman circling around him, Mountain Eagle impatiently said, "My patience is limited, let's return to the previous question, what exactly is going on with the battle outside Baghdad?

How did Arctic Fox get involved?"

The Red-haired Woman lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds; finally, she honestly said, "This is our deal with Iblis; he's responsible for persuading Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knight to participate in the attack targets, and we're in charge of helping him transfer Arctic Fox's pension to the account he designated."

Mountain Eagle listened and shook his head slightly, pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the Red-haired Woman's head, saying in a deep voice, "If you continue talking as if you're squeezing out toothpaste, then I can only apologize..."

As he finished, Mountain Eagle pulled the trigger the moment the Red-haired Woman looked up...

With a loud "bang," the bullet grazed the top edge of the Red-haired Woman's earlobe, causing her to instinctively cover her injured ear, letting out a terrified scream...

Mountain Eagle looked coldly at the Red-haired Woman's painful expression, moved slightly, and spoke into her intact ear, "Your chances are running out..."

The Red-haired Woman shouted, a bit collapsed, "OK, OK...

The father of Death Angel and Iblis was once one of the founders of ISIS. When his son was very young, he sent them to the United States to study and live. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

When ISIS fell under Baghdadi's control, those terrorists gradually got out of control.

But there are still some people in ISIS adhering to the past route, and these people have very close connections with Mossad and the CIA, long-term receiving support from both sides and acting according to their requirements.

These people are not satisfied with Baghdadi's extreme position, nor do they like his way of doing things, so they found Death Angel, wanting him to go back and vie for power.

However, Baghdadi's extreme beliefs bind many people; Death Angel, as a mixed-race, is not recognized by most people. To prove his position and role, he began to serve as a fund provider.

He not only raised funds abroad through mercenaries but also maintained contact with the CIA and Mossad to ensure a constant flow of support to ISIS.

Originally, everything was fine, but last year ISIS suddenly announced the establishment of an ISIS State at the Iraq and Syria border, putting the United States in an extremely awkward position.

Confronted with external pressure, the United States had to support the Kurds in launching encirclement and suppression of ISIS.

ISIS has been targeted by the United States since the beginning of last year, with the outside world starting a countdown for them...

At this time, Death Angel found an opportunity, thinking that as long as he saved ISIS, he could regain power from Baghdadi.

He used his network, navigating between the CIA, Mossad, Al-Qaeda, and several African extremist organizations...

And with the help of these organizations, he launched a raid on uranium mines targeting France in Africa, seizing a large amount of refined uranium ore."

The Red-haired Woman glanced at Mountain Eagle's cold gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Death Angel's theft of VX nerve gas in Florida was actually just one aspect of his plan.

He knew that bombs made with VX nerve gas were unlikely to cause devastating damage and therefore couldn't create an effective deterrent.

So he handed the VX nerve gas bomb to Al-Qaeda and then used their actions to cover for the dirty bomb made at the same time, which was shipped via sea from the United States.

Now the 'P·B Company' is advancing rapidly in Iraq and has suppressed ISIS within Syria to the point of immobility. ISIS is at the point of life and death, so Iblis, who has always been a hidden piece within the Arctic Fox, also has to move..."
