Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 780 When I Get Ruthless, I'll Even Hit My Own Daughter

The camels and eagle claws, who had been barely noticeable since arriving at the camp, were now lurking in the woods opposite the small lake camp...

These two guys are Tiffany's father and Lilith's father. Single fathers raise their daughters from a young age, so it's inevitable that the girls have various problems.

They've now entrusted their daughter to Mountain Eagle, hoping this promising young man would lend the two girls a hand...

As a result, Mountain Eagle acted like a hands-off manager. Apart from initially pulling Tiffany to stop her messed-up steroid fitness plan and leading the girl through a round of weight loss himself, he didn't do anything else that would impress his two fathers.

Although the Arctic Fox Rescue Team sounds impressive, their work so far is similar to that of charity volunteers...

Two tough girls with arms long enough to run horses, instead of dating, they travel the world with a young girl who has just come of age, only to end up spending their own money to hire lawyers or find jobs for others.

These two old guys don't understand that Tiffany's work is crucial for the Mountain Eagle to build its own shadow fleet trading network...

Since the offspring of Arctic foxes are generally quite resilient, the fact that they are asking for help means they have truly reached a dead end.

At this time, Tiffany's appearance not only represented a kind of humanitarian concern, but also encouraged the families of these Arctic foxes to establish trading companies in the coastal areas of their home countries.

This is the job that the mountain eagles envisioned for them...

In the early stages, they don't need to do anything. Just find a few professionals to set up the company's framework, and then they only need to go to work on time every day, keep an eye on the phone, and conduct port trade legally and legitimately in accordance with the requirements to earn a considerable salary.

So far, Tiffany and her team's work has only been limited to Southeast Asia, but Mountain Eagle isn't in a hurry at all; these things need time to progress...

If we're talking about the benefits that taking over the logistics of the Arctic foxes brings to the Mountain Eagles, then the Arctic fox family members, who could theoretically be considered a 'burden,' are actually the biggest benefit.

Because they are closed off!

Although the Arctic foxes that died came from all over the world, there was a very strong culture of small cliques among them, including their families.

The Arctic foxes never abandoned them even in their most difficult times, and the Arctic foxes trusted them in return. As a result, the mountain eagles also became trusted and were willing to take some risks for them.

This group of people, who have been screened, are naturally trustworthy to Mountain Eagle. This saves him a lot of time and energy compared to recruiting all over the world and then trying to control them.

Of course, there are bound to be some fickle individuals among the descendants of Arctic foxes, after all, some of them are already third-generation descendants.

However, whether from a human perspective or from a self-interest perspective, cooperating with the Mountain Eagles is the best option for them.

In today's globalized world, countries around the world are connected through trade. However, due to geopolitical factors and various forms of local protectionism, this network suffers from numerous trade inequalities and loopholes.

For example, Brazil imposed high tariffs on most consumer electronics and electromechanical products from Tokyo University in order to protect its domestic industries. But what if my goods come from the United States, Mexico, or even Panama?
For example, Tokyo University has always been held back in the field of lithography machines, but the Dutch dare not export the most advanced lithography machines to Tokyo University. But wouldn't they dare to export them to members of the Five Eyes alliance like Australia or Canada?
Once the goods arrive at the port and are signed and acknowledged, who can stop them from being transferred to other places?

Of course, lithography machines are a sensitive topic, and doing this would require some underhanded tactics to divert attention, but it is still feasible. At worst, the trading company would be punished or even sanctioned, which is negligible compared to the profits.

It's worth noting that the former president of Blackwater can become a senior executive at Poly, and retired NATO fighter pilots can serve as sparring partners for the Blue Team; some have even become naturalized citizens...

In this world, anything is possible if you have enough money; the only difference is the cost and the length of the transaction path!

With globalization reaching its current stage, countries are highly dependent on world trade. Therefore, in all trade wars around the world, the first thing that emerges is 'grey market transactions'...

The relocation of low-end industries from Dongda University to Southeast Asia is a similar tactic...

The US imposed tariffs on me, so I invested in and built a factory in your country. Then you used your low tariff advantage to help me fleece the US.

Everyone knows exactly what's going on: the Black government tacitly approves or even secretly promotes this type of industrial transfer, and has turned Vietnam into a bridgehead for receiving industries, all with the intention of weakening Dongda through trade friction.

However, they overlooked the fact that in today's world where everyone is so interdependent, unless industries overlap, a trade war will be a lose-lose situation.

While it helps some Southeast Asian countries take away some low-end industries, it cannot take away the entire supply chain. In the end, the influence of Dongda University will go outward with the investment.

More importantly, what drives trade is often not some grand strategy, but demand!
As long as there is demand, trade will always exist, it may just switch to another form.

Prohibition in the United States gave rise to the most powerful gangs in the country because they changed the trade patterns and forced the alcohol trade underground. This first led to a deterioration of public security, and then not only did the country lose tax revenue, but it also allowed those risky gangs to grow bigger and bigger.

Of course, this was largely due to the federal government's ineffective control and lack of skill at the time, but ultimately it came down to demand...

Just as the United States consumes one-third of the world's drugs every year, it is the strong demand that makes the drug trade impossible to eradicate, not that the drug dealers in Mexico are truly invincible.

Mountain Eagle would never touch drugs, but he comes from a trading background. He knows not only how to conduct legitimate trade, but also how to conduct entrepot trade and gray trade.

The Mountain Eagle has a huge advantage in this regard, because it is not restricted by rules and regulations, and can persuade a group of people to risk their lives to help it complete this task at a very low cost...

As long as the Arctic fox descendants can help him set up the trade network, he has plenty of ways to cover the costs of the trade network by skirting the rules. The rest is just a matter of how much profit he makes.

Only core members knew about Mountain Eagle's shadow fleet plan. Even some of these core members, who knew what their boss was planning, did not understand its significance. They only knew that Mountain Eagle would not make a mistake on this kind of issue.

Camel and Eagle Claw are the kind of people who don't understand the meaning behind this. On the one hand, they feel that their two daughters are being wasted, and on the other hand, they feel that their daughters are so busy that they don't even have time to date...

The two old men were torn, but for the sake of their daughter's future, they had no choice but to accept Blood Fox's bad idea and come to prepare to shoot their daughter, using tension and danger to promote unity in the Eagles' backyard.

Camel was a sharpshooter; although the heavy snow affected his field of vision, his advanced equipment still allowed him to get a general idea of ​​the situation at the small lake campsite…

Watching his daughter standing guard in the snow at minus twenty degrees Celsius, Camel sighed and muttered to himself, "This is too hard. Mountain Eagle has to arrange a handsome young man with a million-dollar annual salary for Tiffany as her boyfriend to compensate her for her hard work..." With that, Camel decisively pulled the trigger, firing a special reduced-load bullet...

"boom……"

Eagle Claw watched through his infrared binoculars as Tiffany was shot down in the distance. He stared at the camel in shock and said, "You're serious? You actually shot your daughter?"

Camel intently turned the gun, and pulled the trigger again just as Lilith rushed to check on Tiffany's condition...

"boom……"

A specially designed bullet traveled nearly 400 meters and struck Lilith precisely in the chest...

After succeeding, Camel glanced at the dumbfounded Eagle Claw and said, "If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Tiffany and the others are all elites. A weak scare won't fool them."

As he spoke, the camel fired again, this time shattering the reindeer skull on the lintel of the hunter's hut. This startled the special operations captain, Griffin, who was trying to rush out of the hut to check the situation, so much so that he dropped to the ground...

Eagle Claw kept his eyes on his daughter's direction, and saw her sit up in pain, clutching her chest. She and Tiffany, who had been shot, crawled backward in the snow. He glanced at the scattered bodies of the Thunder Serpents and the corpses that Wayne and his men had brought back, and made the sign of the cross on his chest...

"God help them not to notice anything wrong..."

Just as Eagle Claw was praying, a barrage of bullets struck their location...

"Clap clap clap..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The bullets from the automatic rifles and shotguns struck the trees near the two old men, making loud 'bang bang bang' sounds, forcing them to retreat and flee...

Even as the camel galloped along, it couldn't help but praise its daughter...

"I told you, Tiffany and the others are all elites. There aren't many people in this world who can locate us in this situation immediately..."

Oh shit…

………………

As the two old men fled, Xiao Wan stuffed the youngest, Ava, into Yue Yi's hands and pushed him and Luna together under the narrow bed...

Just as she was about to let Zack and Angel go under the bed as well, she found Tessa had put them in the corner and then blocked their way with her frail body, as if that would ensure the children's safety...

Tessa watched as Marta rushed out like a madwoman, trying to rescue her two comrades. She glanced at Xiao Wan, who clearly had no experience with such situations, and shouted, "It's a sniper! They can't see our position! Don't move! Don't move at all..."

Just then, Hummingbird, who had been watching the computer screen, shouted, "Found them! Two people at the 12 o'clock position, 400 meters away..."

Red Sparrow, who had been guarding Xiao Wan, rushed out of the hut like a hunting rifle that had heard a starting gun. It crouched behind a pile of firewood and pulled the trigger at the 12 o'clock position...

As the cardinal opened fire first, the captain griffin, crouching at the entrance, also opened fire...

"Mrs. Lee, there are only two enemies. Don't move, let us take care of them..."

As the griffin spoke, the hummingbird stared at the screen in front of her, which had suddenly turned to static. She paused for a moment, then said with a grim expression, "There's signal interference nearby. There are definitely more than two of them..."

Pay attention to the hillside at six o'clock; that's a blind spot for my surveillance...

"Damn, we don't have enough manpower!"

As soon as Hummingbird finished speaking, Zach, who had been shielded behind Tessa, burst out of the protective circle like an enraged wolf cub, grabbed a Remington shotgun, rushed to the door, lay down on the snow, pulled the bolt, and fired...

Angel paused for a moment, then the little girl suddenly pushed Tessa towards Xiao Wan, and then, imitating Zack, grabbed a hunting rifle and rushed out...

Meanwhile, Old Joe and Queda rushed out of their tent on the small lake and ran towards Tiffany and Lilith to rescue them...

Seeing the situation was chaotic, Xiao Wan pulled Tessa to her side, then summoned the two usually quiet Dobermans, put on their controllers, pointed them at the 12 o'clock position, and said, "Go..."

As the Doberman darted out, Yue Yi, who had been squeezed under the bed, struggled to push out the two Malinois dogs, who had been listless ever since being bitten by Baron. She gritted her teeth and cried out, "Mom, we can help too! We're not afraid..."

Xiao Wan shoved her son back in frustration, then looked at Tessa with a determined gaze and said, "I need your help. Please take good care of these kids for me..."

"I hit them..."

Zach, firing continuously, shouted, "11 o'clock, 600 meters, they're trying to escape..."

Griffin, the head of the bodyguards, was surprised that a child was the first to achieve victory. She decisively stood up and shouted, "Red Sparrow, go to the back of the hut and keep watch on the north side..."

The hummingbird contacts the camp using a satellite phone...

Tiffany, are you alright? If you're still alive, come back and help. We must defend this cabin to the death..."

Tiffany clutched her tight chest, crawling quickly while muttering curses under her breath, "I'm fine. Protect Mrs. Litasha and the children. I'm going to kill that sniper..."
