Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 850 Bad Premonition

"you're right!"

Ryan Donovan was speechless, because he knew that if he were in the same position as Mountain Eagle, he certainly wouldn't have been able to act as calmly and magnanimously as this big shot...

Especially considering the previous conflict between the two sides, it was quite magnanimous of the Mountain Eagle not to kill him.

If it were any other underworld boss, Ryan Donovan's previous subtle threats would have been enough to tear him to pieces.

It was the mountain eagle's habits that gave Ryan Donovan the illusion that he might be able to hitch a ride.

Upon hearing what Mountain Eagle said, Ryan Donovan was startled, then said with a wry smile, "I thought that after helping you so much, you would change your impression of us..."

Mountain Eagle brewed a new pot of black tea, then said with a smile, "Your people are participating in snow disaster relief as volunteers. If you want compensation or appreciation, go to the state government or the person in charge of Koyokok town."

Dude, doing good deeds can be rewarded, but you've picked the wrong target...

Ryan Donovan knew he didn't have enough leverage. Faced with Mountain Eagle's attitude, he nodded helplessly and said, "You're right, but why don't you take a look at the USB drive Colonel Lynch gave you? A lot of the information on it was obtained by me through the U.S. Air Force Intelligence Agency."

"Sir, the United States has many intelligence agencies, but the U.S. Air Force Intelligence Agency has a deep partnership with NASA. I guarantee that much of that intelligence will be of interest to you."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, of course he knew what the U.S. Air Force Intelligence Agency was responsible for...

Their core functions are divided into two parts...

The first is intelligence gathering and analysis: They are responsible for collecting intelligence on foreign military activities, technological developments, and threats through air, space, and cyber means, with a focus on military strategy, geospatial information, signals intelligence (SIGINT), and cyber threats.

The second is technical support: they provide real-time tactical intelligence for air force operations, including target location, battlefield environment assessment, and electronic warfare support.

However, with the changing global situation and the increasing pressure on the United States to fight terrorism, the U.S. Air Force has also joined the counterterrorism operations and provided crucial tactical support in many operations.

For example, based on the needs of ground intelligence personnel, high-altitude drones can be directly deployed for reconnaissance and bombing.

They can also provide support for geo- and network signal technologies.

Most importantly, the intelligence information of the U.S. Air Force Intelligence Agency is shared with the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office and the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

In terms of purely technical and tactical intelligence, they are better than the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA.

But Mountain Eagle couldn't figure out what they could offer him, and he wasn't planning to bomb anyone.
If he's really planning to attack someone, his bionic drones, equipped with Google Maps, are more effective than American satellites in small-scale, localized battles.

Mountain Eagle took out the USB drive, fiddled with it in his hand for a moment, and said, "What's inside?"

Ryan Donovan spread his hands and said, "It contains satellite surveillance photos of parts of Sinaloa, Mexico, from the past three days, as well as files of several key figures in the Sinaloa Group and the locations of safe houses."

Of course, this also includes Guzman the Short. It's not exactly classified information, because almost everyone knows where he is, but very few people are actually able to rush in and capture him.

Whether they are regular soldiers or mercenaries, they will be discovered as soon as they enter his territory, and they will have no chance to strike.

Looking at Ryan Donovan's expression, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "This information is somewhat useful to me, but not enough to make me look at you differently..."

Seeing that the mountain eagle was interested, Ryan Donovan smiled and said, "Forgive my intrusion, but I have gathered intelligence on you. I know that you have a close relationship with Arctic Fox and that you have them carrying out a series of missions in Syria."

However, the situation in Syria has changed. A guy called "Jackal" has led a mercenary company called P.B. to open a humanitarian corridor through Iraq and establish a safe zone in the border region between Iraq and Syria.

"Arctic foxes have suspended their business there..."

The mountain eagle frowned and said, "And then?"

Ryan Donovan, upon hearing this, said with a somewhat strange expression, "You don't know?"

The mountain eagle said in a deep voice, "What should I know?"

Ryan Donovan paused for a moment, then said, "The Arctic Fox clashed with that 'jackal' in Mosul, and then suffered heavy losses near Baghdad."

I received some intelligence that some people in Washington are very dissatisfied with that "Jackal," and some are willing to offer a huge bounty for his life.

The Air Force Intelligence Agency has accurate location information for "Jackal" and can provide detailed personnel and terrain intelligence about his base.

If you are a member of Fjällräven and you want revenge, then this information is worth tens of millions!

Many people want that 'Jackal' dead. If you can take him down, you can get a bounty of hundreds of millions of dollars from those big shots.

Upon hearing this, the mountain eagle pinched the bridge of its nose hard...

He had been having too easy a few weeks, and only now did he realize that Blood Fox and the others hadn't contacted him for a long time.

He was actually aware of the business situation in Syria, but the sudden appearance of P.B. Company disrupted Lee Sung-hee's plans...

However, Lee Sung-hee was not discouraged... because the main body of P·B Company's safe zone is centered on the Kurds, and the most important defense force there is an international volunteer team composed entirely of women, and Lee Sung-hee is one of the sponsors behind the scenes.

The so-called safe zone is a ceasefire zone backed by a major power. P·B Company is the manager there, but they do not restrict underground financial operations within the safe zone. In fact, this has made Lee Sung-hee's business much less troublesome.

Black money from all over the world enters the safe zone under the guise of donations. Then, this money is laundered through short selling under the pretense of international procurement. 20% of the supplies are left to the recipients in the safe zone, while the rest is laundered and enters the accounts of various international trading companies.

There are some very complex financial operation processes and methods involved. Shan Ying is not very clear about the details, but he knows that Li Chengji will pay dividends to his account every month as agreed.

It was the Eagle that pushed Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knight to support Lee Sung-hee, which allowed her to successfully launch her business in Syria...

But now, according to Ryan Donovan, the Arctic Fox and the Grail Knight are no longer of any use there, and have even clashed with that 'Jackal'.

As the eldest sister, Lee Sung-hee did not stop giving Shan Ying a share of the profits, which is quite remarkable!
However, Mountain Eagle wasn't thinking about money right now; he had a very bad feeling about it...

If Arctic Fox suffers personnel losses, Blood Fox has no reason not to notify them.

They haven't called me for almost two weeks now. Either Ryan Donovan is talking nonsense, or things are serious and they want to deal with them before letting me know the results.

At this point, Mountain Eagle no longer had the will to suppress Ryan Donovan's emotions. After thinking for a while with a gloomy expression, he nodded and said, "What do you want?"

Ryan Donovan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. After a moment's hesitation, he decisively said, "I can't stay at my current company anymore. I want to expand my business to Mexico or Central America..."

As you can see from the manpower, those scavengers are all skilled individuals with experience serving in the Canadian Special Forces.

But I need start-up capital now..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle frowned and looked at the audacious Ryan Donovan, saying, "You begged me to save your life, and now you want me to give you money?"

Ryan Donovan stared at Mountain Eagle for half a second before instinctively looking away, then shook his head and said, "Of course not, why would I ask you for money..."

But I still have Kerry Cantona in my possession, and I have carefully reviewed the information about him.

This guy is in a bad situation now, but just a month ago, he was a shareholder in several defense contractors, and he also owned a lot of stocks and real estate.

These items are worth nearly twenty million dollars in total, but they are now useless to Kerry Cantona...

With just a little cooperation, we can get him to obediently hand over all these things to us for processing.

Ryan Donovan looked at the thoughtful Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir, I don't know what you think, but Kerry Cantona's situation is what it is. He has to give up all his property and plead guilty as required in order to save his own life and that of his family."

If you feel that doing this is inappropriate or too troublesome, I can handle these things for you!

Mountain Eagle recalled the cunning Kerry Cantona, remembering how that guy, despite being seriously injured, had managed to trick Razer's son and son-in-law...

He looked at Ryan Donovan, who was trying to remain calm, and said, "You want to get seed money from Kerry Cantona?"

How much do you want?

Ryan Donovan, sensing a potential opportunity, cautiously held up one finger...

Mountain Eagle glanced at it and said impatiently, "With assets worth 20 million, even if you sell them quickly, you'll only end up with a maximum of 10 million. You actually dare to ask me for 10 million? What are you thinking?"

The eagle's barely concealed agitation made Ryan Donovan nervous. He took a small step back, swallowed hard, and said, "Sir, is it possible that I just want a million?"
With a million dollars, I can settle down in Mexico with my people and then try to take on some jobs.

I have a few friends there who do hostage rescue work and earn a good living. There's also a high demand for 'cleaners' there, but…”

The mountain eagle paused for a moment, then patted its head, which had become a little hot from the news about the Arctic fox...

I don't know when it started, but 100 million no longer seems like a lot of money to him.

This misunderstanding left Mountain Eagle somewhat embarrassed...

Upon hearing Ryan Donovan's final "however," Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "State your needs clearly in one go..."

Ryan Donovan listened and cautiously said, "Sir, I just heard you mention the investment in El Salvador..."

The situation there isn't particularly good. If you have any business needs there, could you perhaps give me a chance?

You might not think I'm a qualified 'cleaner,' but I assure you, neither I nor my team are incompetent. At least in a place like El Salvador, we can fully utilize our abilities..."

Mountain Eagle desperately wanted to tell Ryan Donovan that his boss in El Salvador was a top-tier assassin, along with several legendary veterans, so he was completely unnecessary...

But thinking about the news he had just received, and Blood Fox, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "I'll have someone named Matthias contact you. As long as the price is reasonable, there will be business suitable for you there..."
