Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 862 The Blood Fox Who Wants to Die

In the instant the other was stunned, Mountain Eagle and Blood Fox raised their Luger silenced pistols and Makarov pistols and pulled the triggers simultaneously...

"Puff puff, puff puff..."

"Papa, papa..."

The gunshot was almost imperceptible in the instant the explosion echoed. The two men who were holding flashlights and trying to approach paused for a moment, then their heads shook as if hit by something heavy, and they collapsed limply to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Mountain Eagle accelerated and drove into the traffic, quickly maneuvering the steering wheel and weaving through the traffic for more than 50 meters, crossing the intersection just as the green light was about to turn off.

About five minutes later, the toll collector who came out to check realized something was wrong. He looked out of the dark garage and saw two men slumped on the ground. Curious, he went over to check and saw the bloody holes in their heads. He then screamed in terror and sat down on the ground.

At that moment, several burly Eastern European men rushed over. They ran to the two corpses and examined them. Then, one of the men, who had a burn scar on his face, grabbed the toll collector by the collar, pulled him up, and shouted at him, asking what had happened...

The toll collector had no idea what was happening; all he could do was wave his hands frantically and look at the other person with a terrified expression.

The scarred, burly man quickly realized he wouldn't get anything out of the toll collector, so he rushed into the toll booth and retrieved the previous surveillance footage.

When he saw his companion fall to the ground as he approached a black BMW, he gritted his teeth, memorized the license plate, rushed out, pushed through the crowd, and while urging his companion to retreat, he took out his phone and started making a call...

"That old guy ran away, and someone's waiting for him. It should be that Mountain Eagle you were talking about..."

The scarred, burly man ran to an SUV parked by the roadside, forcefully opened the door, got in, and said into the phone in a menacing tone, "Eight people have died. Find those two guys for me..."

By this time, Mountain Eagle had driven the vehicle past five intersections. He had already scouted the surrounding road conditions in advance, and crows were even guiding him from the air...

Blood Fox in the back seat tried several times to direct Mountain Eagle's direction, but after Mountain Eagle made two turns and passed five intersections with green lights each time, Blood Fox shut its mouth and leaned back in the corner of the back seat...

Mountain Eagle glanced at Blood Fox through the rearview mirror, then stepped on the gas and accelerated again. Soon they had driven more than ten kilometers north and finally stopped at a highway gas station.

After asking the gas station employee to help him refuel, Mountain Eagle whispered a few words to the employee and slipped him a 500 lei tip. The employee then jogged into the gas station office and quickly came out with a somewhat old first-aid kit.

Mountain Eagle rummaged through the first-aid kit and took out gauze, cotton, iodine, and adhesive tape. Then, as if by magic, he slipped a small wound-sealing device into the kit and gave it to Blood Fox.

After filling up the tank, Mountain Eagle thanked the gas station attendant, then drove onto Highway 5. After driving a few kilometers, he exited the highway, turned off the lights, and parked on the outskirts of an abandoned factory.

After parking the car, Mountain Eagle watched as the somewhat obese Blood Fox struggled to treat the wound on her waist. He shook his head, got out of the car, opened the back door, and said, "Your big belly is blocking your view, let me do it..."

Upon hearing this, Blood Fox dejectedly tossed the stapler in his hand to Mountain Eagle, then simply took off his upper body clothes, got out of the car, stood next to the trunk, looked at the dark sky, and said with a heavy expression, "I really am getting old!"

Maybe I should have been eliminated a long time ago!
"Maybe if I had disbanded Frye Norfolk earlier, they wouldn't have died..."

Mountain Eagle rarely heard Blood Fox say such things. This old KGB officer received systematic training from the former Soviet Union. People trained within this system are different from ordinary people in one major way: they rarely engage in internal conflicts and will never take the blame for failures on themselves.

Because failures in the intelligence system always come at a price.

A key external characteristic of successful people within the system is that they never engage in internal strife, attribute failures to external factors, and use this to seek more resource support.

Reflection is certainly a very important quality, but it's something that needs to be processed quietly on one's own.

People who are used to overthinking often find it difficult to find the real mistakes, and may even be swayed by external opinions.

The issue of Arctic foxes has absolutely nothing to do with blood foxes.

He is already a retiree, and his job is to oversee the distribution of retirement pensions and provide assistance to the descendants of Arctic foxes.

Now that Blood Fox is suddenly blaming himself for the problem, Mountain Eagle knows that the old man is starting to have second thoughts about living.

Mountain Eagle didn't reply. He placed a flashlight inside the open car door, adjusting the angle to illuminate the wound on Blood Fox's waist...

The knife wound on Blood Fox's waist was nearly half a foot long; it was a cut, and the depth of the wound had penetrated the fat layer...

A small hole was poked in the cap of the iodine bottle. While squeezing the bottle to rinse the wound, the eagle also cleaned it with cotton balls…

"Being a little chubby has its advantages; at least the injuries from a knife wound won't be too severe!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle put down what he was holding, pinched the wound together with one hand, and squeezed the stapler-like stapler hard with the other...

With a "click," a metal nail snapped a small section of the wound shut.

Seeing that Blood Fox seemed to feel no pain, Mountain Eagle quickly stitched up the half-foot-long wound, then took out a bottle of water to rinse the blood off his hands, and then covered the wound with a large band-aid the size of a sanitary napkin.

Mountain Eagle handed Blood Fox an antibiotic along with a bottle of mineral water and said in a deep voice, "You're so old, you have plenty of opportunities to die, but you should think about the descendants of those Arctic foxes..."

Now that the Arctic foxes are still alive, do you still want to carry out the 'blood oath' you made back then?
I don't know the others, but 'Bullhead' helped me. He even called me at the end to let me know what had happened.

This grudge must be avenged, but before that, you have to tell me who Iberis really is.

I had only heard Silver Fox mention this guy before, and I knew he was the leader of a small team within Arctic Fox.

Logically speaking, Silver Fox's judgment shouldn't be so flawed... Why would that guy betray his comrade-in-arms who shared life and death with him?

Blood Fox popped the antibiotic into his mouth, chewed it a few times, then took a sip of water, and then he fell into a reverie…

"I don't know much about Iberia either, I've only heard Silver Fox mention it..."

That guy used to serve in SEAL Team Six, and then clashed with some old-school soldiers over his beliefs, so he suffered severe bullying in the military.

He repeatedly complained to his superiors about the illegal operations of the US military in Afghanistan, which led to the punishment of some people. Finally, during a mission, he was betrayed by his rear personnel and was surrounded by the Taliban.

I don't know the specifics of what happened, but later the United States experienced a major incident in Afghanistan that shocked the world, namely 'Operation Red Wings'...

Outsiders assumed that the U.S. military lost 19 men in that operation, but they were unaware that four squads from SEAL Team Six's Gold Squadron were also conducting covert operations nearby during that mission.

They had originally abandoned their mission to reinforce the trapped soldiers, but were ambushed and wiped out en route. Since then, the Gold Squadron of SEAL Team Six has not flown any more missions.

Blood Fox, seeing the somewhat surprised look on Mountain Eagle's face, said in a deep voice, "It was Ibilis who ambushed the Golden Squadron..."

After carrying out the ambush, he fled to Pakistan, where he met Silver Fox, the man who had taken on the job.

Blood Fox rubbed his temples in pain and said, "I should have stopped Silver Fox from recruiting Iberis..."

That guy ambushed his own comrades in revenge; that kind of person isn't trustworthy!

Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Silver Fox is a very conservative person. That Iberis is clearly a huge problem. Why would Silver Fox want to recruit him?"

Blood Fox shook his head and said, "Because Iberis was also a mercenary at the time, and he saved the lives of several Arctic foxes during several cooperative missions."

Silver Fox spent nearly three years observing him, but the guy was like a machine.

He was perfect as a mercenary, and as a comrade-in-arms, he repeatedly pulled his comrades out of hell in times of crisis.

Half of the Arctic foxes owe him a life!

The mountain eagle listened and nodded in understanding...

There’s nothing we can do about it!

Fjällräven is a team that connects through camaraderie, so Iberias could easily win everyone over.

And to be honest, if Mountain Eagle were standing in Silver Fox's shoes, he probably wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Iberis either...

Because Arctic foxes have nothing worth coveting except for their pensions.

But if you join Flying Fox, you become a beneficiary of the pension fund. What reason do you have to betray your comrades?
The result was obvious: Silver Fox had misjudged him!

Mountain Eagle used the results to deduce that Iberia betrayed everyone for the $100 million pension fund and the Arctic Fox name.

The logical chain here is unclear; there must be something he doesn't know...

For example, what exactly is the relationship between Iberias and the Angel of Death?
For example, what does Iberia want to do using the Arctic fox's name?
Most importantly, he had already received the 100 million in pension funds and a large sum of money from the deceased oligarch Sergei. Why would he still need to recruit mercenaries through an international agency to fight that 'jackal' in Iraq?
Revenge is absolutely impossible, because he has killed more comrades than the ones who died at the hands of the 'Jackal'!

But none of that matters now...

The mountain eagle couldn't think of any other outcome than a fight to the death between the two sides!

Looking at Blood Fox's pale face, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "It's too late to say anything now..."

"Find that guy, tear him to pieces, and recover that 100 million in pension funds—that's what we should be doing."

Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle and said in a hoarse voice, "Arctic Fox's money is gone, are you still willing to continue managing it?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "Of course, the descendants of Arctic foxes are a burden to you, but to me, they are the best network of connections."

Of course, if you can get the money back, their lives will be a little easier; if you can't, their lives will be a little harder.

The key is to eliminate Iberia; otherwise, with someone who understands Arctic foxes operating abroad, who knows what might happen in the future?

Blood Fox rubbed his face vigorously and said in a deep voice, "You have a plan?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the abandoned factory in the distance and shook his head, saying, "No, but I know that guy must be very nervous right now, which is why he sent so many people to Romania to surround you."

Kill everyone who attacks you, then try to extract some information from them...

This is the best solution I can think of right now!
