Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 828 The Cleaner

Mountain Eagle was amused by Ryan Donovan's attitude, and Razer was even more enraged!

Facing the still arrogant Ryan Donovan, Razer pointed to the south exit of the village and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you ten minutes to pack your things and get out of my village..."

Ryan Donovan shook his head dismissively, pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Razer, saying seriously, "You can kick us out, but let me warn you, I'm not joking..."

Those trapped in the mountains are very important; someone will do anything to rescue them.

If you drive me away, someone ten times more ferocious than me will come...

They won't care if you face difficulties; they'll just burn your village down and force you to go into the mountains to lead the way.

And I guarantee that no one will stand up for you and seek justice!

Razer glanced at the business card under the light of the porch lamp, then suddenly chuckled, handed it to Mountain Eagle, and said, "Take a look..."

"In all these years, this is the first time I've ever seen a 'cleaner' dare to speak to me like that!"

Upon hearing the word 'cleaner,' Mountain Eagle immediately thought of the professional cleaning team he knew in Moscow...

Seeing the word 'cleaner' printed on the elegant business card, Mountain Eagle smiled and handed the card back to Ryan Donovan, saying, "I thought all 'cleaners' in the world would use housekeeping companies as a cover."

The way you print your business cards makes it seem like you want the whole world to know who you are. Is it because business is so bad?

However, it's true that a place like Alaska is simply not suitable for 'cleaners' to work in.

Ryan Donovan paused, frowning as he looked at the two people in front of him...

“Since you know what a ‘cleaner’ is, you should understand that if I can’t complete the task, then the ‘scavenger’ will be next.”

After listening, the mountain eagle shook its head slightly...

He was no longer as ignorant as he used to be about how the underworld worked and the strange professions it contained.

'Cleaner' and 'street cleaner' are two different professions within the same industry...

The 'cleaners' are the kind that Mountain Eagle encountered in the Moscow hotel. They are responsible for cleaning up various crime scenes, including disposing of corpses and assisting with police investigations, as well as handling the aftermath of various illegal incidents.

If Ryan Donovan is indeed a 'cleaner,' then it's clear that the scope of a 'cleaner's' work is a bit larger than Mountain Eagle had previously imagined.

While 'scavengers' and 'cleaners' do the same job, their methods are completely different.

Like that meme about assassination online: if I kill everyone, that's a perfect infiltration.

If a 'cleaner' uses technical means to solve a problem, then a 'scavenger' is someone who uses violent means to solve a problem.

To put it bluntly, "cleaners" are mercenaries who possess certain technical skills but use violence as their primary means of carrying out their missions.

The difference between a 'cleaner' and a 'scavenger' is like the difference between a thief and a robber.

Ryan Donovan's threat made Mountain Eagle almost laugh...

Because by revealing his identity, he also made Mountain Eagle realize that the people targeting Kerry Cantona might not be as powerful as he had imagined; otherwise, why would they hire people?

Ryan Donovan, who was standing in front of me, didn't even know who Razer and Mountain Eagle were before trying to threaten me with 'Scavenger,' which was very immature.

This indirectly reflects that the company of this seemingly impressive guy is in dire straits.

The 'cleaners' that Mountain Eagle met in Moscow, even though they called themselves cleaners and most of them were just ordinary people, were much calmer and more at ease than the guy in front of him.

Of course, the harsh environment was the key reason why this guy was so impatient, but that had nothing to do with Mountain Eagle. Anyway, he just felt that this guy was very unprofessional!

Seeing the bewildered look on Ryan Donovan's face, Mountain Eagle put his business card in his pocket and then said with a smile, "I regret to inform you that not only have you failed to complete your mission, but you have also lost many clients."

Because you acted so unprofessionally!

Ryan Donovan probably didn't expect to encounter an 'industry insider' in such a remote area of ​​Alaska. He frowned, looked at the imposing mountain eagle, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and shook his head, saying, "You don't need to know who I am, because I probably won't have any interaction with you."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle bent down and coaxed the two children into the house, instructing them to prepare food for Shuk and Beta. Then, he waved to Ryan Donovan and said, "Buddy, you should go now. This is my territory..."

Ryan Donovan looked at Mountain Eagle's face and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Ryan Donovan looked around the village, pointed to the villagers' houses, and said in a deep voice, "I can leave, but are you sure you want to make decisions for the rest of the village?"

Mountain Eagle simply didn't have the time or energy to argue with this guy. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "I'm just a guest. Asking me these questions is useless. If you could convince those villagers to come into the mountains with you, you would have succeeded long ago."

With that, Mountain Eagle waved his hand, herding Ryan Donovan down the steps like a sheep, then looked down at the man and said in a deep voice, "In the last few minutes, you threatened me many times..."

I don't want to bother with someone as insignificant as you. Just turn around and leave, and I'll pretend I never saw you.

Ryan Donovan took two steps back, spread his hands, and said, "SO?"

What if I don't leave?

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle exchanged a glance with Thunder Serpent, then shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Suit yourself, just don't come near my house or do anything that might be misunderstood, you can do whatever you want..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked towards the south side of the village and discovered that the wolf pack had reappeared there. Then, he surveyed the area around the village through the drone's viewpoint and looked at Razer with a somewhat grave expression, asking, "How large is a wolf plague typically?"

Razer thought for a moment and said, "During the wolf plague I experienced, there were nearly 80 gray wolves..."

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "Then this wolf plague should be larger than the one you experienced."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle stretched his hand out onto the porch, caught a few snowflakes falling from the sky, and said, "The sudden extreme weather has driven these wolves to desperation!"

No sooner had Mountain Eagle finished speaking than a gunshot rang out from the second floor…

"boom"

A large-caliber bullet traveled nearly 700 meters and hit a wolf that was roaming on the outskirts of the village.

The distinctively loud gunshot of the Barrett brought Ryan Donovan back to his senses. He took a few steps back, gave the mountain eagle a deep look, turned around to rejoin his companions, and then rode his snowmobile south, intending to head to Koyukuk for rest.

Razer watched the group rush out of the village, then shook his head and said, "We should teach that guy a lesson..."

Otherwise, if he brings the cleaners here, we'll have to put in some extra effort.

The mountain eagle's attention was entirely focused on the wolf pack. He said nonchalantly, "My wife and children are here. Am I supposed to kill this guy here just because he spoke rudely?"

Dude, if that guy is some big shot's black glove, then I really need to be careful.

But he was just a 'cleaner'...

What right do you think a 'cleaner' or 'scavenger' has to challenge a super VIP of an international agency?

Razer only then realized that the Mountain Eagle and the Arctic Fox were not on the same wavelength...

He shook his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Then do as you please..."

After he finished speaking, he saw his wife, Uya, leading several women out with an 'Uru knife'. He then proactively loaded his AK-15...

Mountain Eagle didn't quite understand why Uya was in such a hurry to dispose of the wolf carcasses, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he stood guard to the side with his M2 shotgun...

Skinning the wolves was no easy task, especially when their carcasses were already frozen solid...

However, Uya's shovel-shaped Uru knife was clearly designed to deal with extreme weather. In Uya's hands, the sharp shovel seemed to handle everything with ease, whether it was cutting fur or navigating the fat layer beneath the gray wolf's fur.

As Wuya explained and skinned a gray wolf, Xiaowan, though not particularly interested, still pinched her nose and nodded, indicating that she had probably learned it.

Uya completely skinned the wolf king, tossed the wolf meat aside, then used a stick to prop up the wolf's head and said to the mountain eagle, "Put it at the crossroads south of the village..."

Mountain Eagle instinctively took the wolf-head club, looked at the hideous, skinned wolf head on it, and said somewhat uncomfortably, "What's this for?"

"It's a trap..."

At Uya's behest, Razer helped cut off the heads of the other gray wolf carcasses. Then, while making more wolf-head clubs, he said in a deep voice, "Put these wolf heads in the ground. If the wolf pack is small, they will retreat. But if the wolf pack is large enough, they will knock them down and eat their heads immediately."

After listening, Mountain Eagle went back to the house, grabbed a few stun grenades, and said with a smile, "I understand. I'll try making a few booby traps with stun grenades..."

Just as everyone was preparing, gunshots rang out from the road south of the village...

The sound of automatic rifles mingling with several explosions made the atmosphere in the village increasingly tense.

Just as the mountain eagle was wondering if the 'cleaners' could get through, three snowmobiles came running back at an even faster speed than they had left...

Several gray wolves were chasing them, but when the snowmobiles entered the village area, the wolves stopped and stood facing Baron and the war wolves at a distance for a while before turning back and retreating into the darkness. Immediately afterwards, wolf howls echoed from all around the village...

Razer frowned as he crafted several wolf-head clubs. As he headed north, he broadcasted over the public radio, "Everyone stay home and don't go out..."
