Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

"So that's how you got dragged into this mess of the 'Seagull Missile'?"

In a Maasai tribe on the African savanna, two middle-aged men sit around a campfire...

Several African shamans dressed in animal skins, with chicken feathers stuck in their heads and masks on their faces, were dancing some kind of dance around a campfire...

Two groups of tough-looking armed men stood clearly separated on either side of the campfire, while two groups of researchers in white coats, obviously from different regions, got along very well.

They gathered together to discuss certain cutting-edge technologies, and once they got an inspiration, they would clap their hands happily and then take out a very advanced intelligent computer to record it.

The middle-aged Mountain Eagle held a rhinoceros horn cup, looked at the murky liquid inside, and sighed, saying, "Back then, the CIA gave me an offer I couldn't refuse..."

Spanish arms dealer Alex Vincent, pirate king Fayz, and the youngest son of the Kalpin family of the Edward Foundation!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the man beside him and said with a smile, "I just didn't expect things to turn out this way..."

Jackal, if I had known you would be so 'uncontrollable,' I should have told you all my plans back then.

I never imagined you would team up with that Aaron to put on an act, using John Calpin to completely deceive America.

The legendary middle-aged man, 'Jackal,' suddenly laughed and said, 'So, the Spanish arms dealer Alex Vincent was actually already in Manila. The reason he didn't show up wasn't because he slipped away beforehand, but because you took him out...'

What happened to that 'Pirate King' Faiz? I arranged for a warship and a team to hunt him down for several years, but we couldn't even catch a glimpse of him...

What's wrong with him?

Mountain Eagle smiled and took out his phone, skillfully opening a prison live stream. He said with a laugh, "Jackal, you should fire your intelligence officer. I caught Faiz and put him in a sea prison in El Salvador."

Jackal glanced at the so-called 'live stream' and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "I make tens of millions a minute, and my men are all focused on big deals. They don't have time to pay attention to your weird live stream."

As he spoke, Jackal looked at Mountain Eagle with curiosity and said, "You were already quite capable back then. Why did you agree to hire me to go to the Golden Triangle?"

There's simply no business there that can satisfy your big needs..."

Mountain Eagle pursed his lips as he looked at a group of young people gathered not far away, confronting each other like fighting cocks. He smiled and said, "Because that's where I started. I hate everything about that place. Since a big shot wants to change it, why should I refuse?"

Just like you've never been to the Golden Triangle, the people working there aren't me, but a village dominated by descendants of Arctic foxes.

I've actually been chasing the Edward Foundation's human trafficking network all over the world, but after we met in America, you insisted on giving me tens of millions so I could continue my work..."

Upon hearing this, the jackal laughed and cursed, saying, "I hate you cowards the most. Even when you're doing something good, you have to do it secretly."

"I don't need that money. My wife started an international women and children's foundation. If you donate a hundred or two hundred million, we'll be even."

Mountain Eagle nodded nonchalantly and said, "Money is a small matter..."

I don't have your courage and luck, and from the very beginning I was tied to the sinking ship that is Fjällräven...

I tried so hard to correct the Arctic fox, but then an Iberian fox jumped out and ruined everything.

You have to admit that if I hadn't brought the 'Angel of Death' to Canada, you and Aaron would have had a very difficult time getting the 'dirty bomb bonus'.

Tell me the truth, is that Aaron your lover? Don't worry, I don't discriminate against gay people!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the jackal giving him the middle finger and laughed, saying, "That bastard Aaron helped you get a huge amount of dirty money from El Salvador. I only gave you a discount because of you."

My wife started a "study abroad welfare home." Remember to donate a hundred or two hundred million. Most of the children there were rescued from the human trafficking chain. They've all had a hard life..."

Jackal looked at Mountain Eagle, who immediately "tried to get revenge," and laughed, saying, "Donating money is fine, but I'm just curious why you make your identity so awkward."

Thai policeman, American landowner, El Salvadoran godfather...

What are you planning?
Your first two identities are simply not profitable!

Mountain Eagle said with a wry smile, "Aren't you the same?"

Greek citizen George Paz, the underground president of the Central African Republic, an honorary citizen of Monaco, the owner of an American military contractor…

Upon hearing this, the jackal said irritably, "I'm not like you. I don't change my name or surname. Wherever I go, I'm the boss of P.B., and I sit in the first row at the United Nations."

At the funeral of an elderly British lady, I sat closer to the front than their prime minister. In Dubai, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, I stayed in palaces.

Would you dare to go around claiming to be an Arctic fox?

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "I certainly wouldn't dare to make a false claim about the Arctic Fox, but I have stayed at the palace of the Great Russian Boss outside Moscow, visited his train office, and even been to Khamenei's secret basement in Iran..."

"I can't go to the United Nations, but I can influence a dozen or so votes at the General Assembly..." Jackal paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Shadow Fleet!"
During the Russo-Ukrainian War, a large shadow fleet was very active. They assisted Russia in reselling crude oil and helped them withstand several waves of sanctions.

My younger brother, Qiao Liang, said there is a shadow fleet operating in sanctioned countries around the world, and that they have deep ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

FUCK, you're the owner of that shadow fleet!

There has been much speculation that the owner of that fleet is a French woman named Amelia…

The eagle spread its hands and said, "Amelia is a relative of an Arctic fox, we're partners..."

Anna, who heads the Great Russian Cyprus Foundation; Emilia, from AXA Group's risk control department; Lee Sung-hee, president of the Asia region for an international intermediary company; and me...

Anna provides funding, Amelia provides ship support, Lee Sung-hee provides intelligence and business channels, and I am responsible for ensuring the operation of the shadow fleet and financial settlement, while also being responsible for entering some countries to deal with some thorny issues when necessary.

The four of us are the owners and management of the Shadow Fleet!

Interpol has a department that specifically investigated me; the information they've collected about the Shadow Fleet is stacked several meters high.

I'm not afraid of being exposed, but it would be troublesome if my wife and children were implicated.

I still hope my wife and children can live out the rest of their lives happily..."

The jackal nodded in understanding, then looked at the young people not far away...

Seeing his silly son grinning at a girl with an afro, only to be swiftly thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, Jackal covered his head in pain and said, "Yeah, the most important thing is for my wife and kids to be happy!"
We're quite destined to meet, even our cheat codes are two versions of the same thing...

In a few years, I'm planning to go to the moon. As a big shot in the underworld, would you like to buy me a ticket?
"I'll give you a discount. There are many things in your Master Chief system that haven't been developed yet. I'll provide the super batteries, you provide the finished products, and I'll mass-produce them."

Mountain Eagle nodded decisively and said, "Of course!"

But going to the moon is out of the question; I also want to see my son get married!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the group of young people not far away and said with a complicated expression, "Youth is truly wonderful..."

The jackal looked at the mountain eagle with a complicated expression, frowned, tapped the rhinoceros horn cup in his hand, and said, "Are you afraid?"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Who wouldn't be afraid? If it were just me, I should have drunk it the moment I got it."

However, my son has the same problem as me. My family lab has made thirty versions of tomica herb medicine, but the actual results are not ideal.

If even this most basic tomic herb can't solve my problem..."

Upon hearing this, the jackal patted the mountain eagle on the back, raised his hand to reveal the tattoos at the base of his fingers, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you definitely won't die, otherwise they wouldn't even exist!"

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. If I die, your 'Starry Sea' plan might be aborted."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at his son, Yue Yi, who was now twenty years old and had completely shaken off the shadows of his childhood. At this moment, he was not only an excellent soldier, but also an excellent leader.

Those children who underwent modifications in infancy have all grown up now...

They are tough, confident, and fearless!

Just like in that song...

One generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be someone young!

Thinking of this, the mountain eagle raised its rhinoceros horn cup and clinked it against the jackal's beer, then downed it in one gulp...

A few seconds later, the eagle collapsed onto the thick meadow and drifted into a deep sleep...

His enemies were everywhere, and he began a seemingly endless battle and slaughter...

The jackal told him that as long as he killed the enemy again, he could escape the nightmare, so the mountain eagle brought out his best...

"If we are all going to die eventually, then let us turn our bodies into swords and blades to pave the way for our next generation!"

"If we are going to die eventually, then we should do our best while we are alive so that we can go to hell and reunite with our enemies after we die!"
"If we are all going to die eventually, then we should leave a mark on this world as if we were here!"

"We don't need others to judge us as good or bad; they just need to remember that we were here and that we won!"
