Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Mountain Eagle was obviously lying to Death Angel. He genuinely didn't care whether the dirty bomb exploded or not, but if he had the chance to dig out information about the dirty bomb, he certainly wouldn't mind saying a few nice things about it.

However, from the moment he entered, the Angel of Death placed himself in a superior position because he was fearless. Even though there was no way out, he still tried to sabotage the Mountain Eagle with a batch of dangerous goods in an attempt to seize some control.

Mountain Eagle had indeed lost patience with talking to the Angel of Death. If it weren't for the fact that he still had to wait for Blood Fox and the others to fly to Belarus to verify the life or death of 'Bullhead', he would have already sent the Angel of Death to the temporary base at the airport and then led his men into the shadows to wait for their prey to take the bait.

The reason why the Angel of Death had the upper hand in the past was due to its strategic initiative. In reality, once his whereabouts were found, the assassination organization of the scapegoats, which mainly consisted of cannon fodder, was no match for the offensive of the regular army, so there was no need for the Mountain Eagle to mobilize so many people.

The Mountain Eagle did all this to mobilize personnel in a seemingly legitimate manner, then deliberately leaked information, waiting for the people from the Edward Foundation to take the bait.

Those people hated him first, and secondly, they especially wanted the Angel of Death dead in order to provoke the United States into intervening in the Middle East.

They won't let this opportunity slip by!

And as long as the Angel of Death is attacked, the Mountain Eagle, which issues a warning in advance, can bring the entire American intelligence and law enforcement system to the same side.

The battle in Alaska has been over for so long, yet the live stream of Commander Chuck and a bunch of Demon Legion soldiers being imprisoned is still playing, and the Edward Foundation has remained completely silent.

They even collaborated with the Angels of Death in Romania, aiming to eliminate all Arctic Foxes while simultaneously acquiring Romania's largest private bank, 'Tiriac Bank,' at minimal cost. They also assisted in transferring the Arctic Foxes' pension funds.

The Sinaloa Group, which also participated in the Alaskan campaign, has suffered heavy losses in recent months, with even Guzman the Short being captured.

Several key assistants of Spanish arms dealer Alex Vincent were brutally killed; if he hadn't run fast, he would have been sent to chef Julian's workbench.

Now only the Edward Foundation remains...

Mountain Eagle admitted that he didn't have many options for dealing with them, because he couldn't even pinpoint the location of the Edward Foundation's core businesses. Simply killing a few of their publicly known presidents or similar figures wouldn't make much sense.

To truly hurt them, you have to find their sore spots!
Mountain Eagle had too many things on his plate to deal with like a hunting dog, so he simply used the situation to pull the Edward Foundation to the opposite side of the United States.

The CIA in the United States has a conflict with the Edward Foundation. Back in Thailand, they took a guy named John Calpin from the Thai police in an attempt to dismantle this Eastern European black market tycoon family.

Now the mountain eagles decide to add fuel to the fire...

The Angel of Death was slightly mistaken. The Eagle did indeed want to use him as bait, but whether the Edward Foundation ultimately showed up or not was irrelevant.

The Mountain Eagles could have someone fire a few shots at the escort team, and in the end, the blame would fall entirely on the Edward Foundation.

Because he captured Natanz Sorin, the head of the Ladder of Light assassin group under the Edward Foundation, in Romania. That woman revealed a lot of things, including details about the attack in Baghdad.

It has been confirmed that the Edward Foundation wanted the Angels of Death to go mad. Right now, the only reason the entire American intelligence system is unable to function smoothly is because of the dirty bomb issue; otherwise, the Edward Foundation should already be on the strike list.

What the Mountain Eagle needed to do was give it one last push, cutting off all of Edwards Foundation's room for maneuver. That's why when he messaged Kobe, he did so through a public channel...

At this point, not only those at the battle site knew that the Angel of Death had been captured, but the Bangkok team and the field agents who remained at the airport also received the news.

………………

As someone who dealt with the mountain eagles the most, Kate immediately jumped up from her chair upon receiving the news, grabbed Rosa, and demanded that they gather all their personnel and hand over all their external communication tools.

There was some chaos inside the airport, but the final result left Kate feeling cold.

One of the field agents and one of the special plane crew members from the Bangkok team sent out a message. Although they used coded language, the blunder at this critical moment made Kate realize that something was wrong immediately.

Angrily, she ordered the two 'traitors' to be locked in cages. Kate glanced at the several underworld bosses who were being kept in cages like animals, and suddenly realized something. Then she angrily cursed.

Seeing Kate's expression, Rosa frowned and said, "Kate, now is not the time to be angry. The message has just been sent out, and we still have time to prepare."

We need to contact the Canadian police now and have them cordon off the area around the airport. We'll take off as soon as the Angel of Death arrives.

Kate looked at Rosa as if she were an idiot and said, "You think I'm worried that someone will come to break me out of prison?"

Rosa shrugged and said, "Shouldn't you be worried?" Kate rolled her eyes and said, "Rosa, with idiots like you as subordinates, it's no wonder I've never been a match for Mountain Eagle."

Rosa, somewhat unconvinced, said, "Kate, I admit that guy is smart, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Seeing Rosa's clueless expression, Kate grabbed the guy's arm, pointed to the cages holding underworld bigwigs, and said irritably, "What did you see?"

Rosa frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say..."

Kate said irritably, "Are you stupid?"
Think back, why did these people end up here?

Rosa paused for a moment, then said, "It's because the information they have can help us capture the Angel of Death."

Kate rolled her eyes and said, "Were they used in this arrest operation?"

"From the moment the mountain eagle arrived, it didn't even glance at them..."

Kate looked at the stunned Rosa and said irritably, "Are you an idiot?"

These people are all high-value figures in the underworld, and they each have their own networks of connections.

Those within their network either wanted to save them or wanted to silence them!

If there's a traitor among us, then our information about being here three days ago was leaked...

The Mountain Eagles are now using the issue of the scapegoat base to relocate most of their personnel.

This bastard is using these people and the Angel of Death as bait; he wants to lure everyone connected to them into a trap, making the Americans fight them to the death!

Rosa: "FUCK..."

Before he could finish uttering his curse, a bullet struck a field worker at the hangar entrance...

Seeing the field operative collapse to the ground, Rosa instinctively grabbed the frail Kate and rushed into the hangar, shouting orders for her men to set up defenses while yelling, "Something's not right..."

Just as he passed a cage, a hand grabbed his arm...

As Rosa reached out to break the man's wrist, the guy nimbly twisted his arm to dodge the attack, then raised his hand and took a half-step back, saying, "They're from the Stairway of Light. They're here to silence you. Give me a gun, and I can help you..."

Rosa looked at the assassin 'Wooden Man' who had been captured by the Mountain Eagles in Alaska, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How did you know?"

A bitter smile appeared on 'Wooden Man's' numb face as he said, "The sniper rifles used by the high-ranking assassins on the Path of Light are all custom-made, and the ammunition is all professionally reloaded high-powered bullets."

As soon as the gunshot rang out, I knew they were here...

The first shot was just to draw your attention. The real attack is coming from behind. Stay focused. Once the airport becomes chaotic, the staff on the perimeter might run around. You need to carefully observe them; there's a good chance there are assassins among them.

Seeing Rosa's surprised expression, the man who had been calling him "Wooden Man" shouted, "Open the door..."

My wife and children are in Thailand, I won't run away...

"Hurry up, you can't stop those people!"

Just as Rosa was hesitating whether to trust this guy, the voice of the mountain eagle came through his radio...

"Rosa, let him out, give him the radio and weapons..."

Even if Rosa was stupid, he would realize at this point that this whole thing was a scheme orchestrated by Mountain Eagle. He angrily shouted, "Damn it, Mountain Eagle, what have you done...?" (End of Chapter)
