Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 878 Setting the Direction

Mountain Eagle unexpectedly learned the whole story from Kobe in the refugee group. Although some details were still unconfirmed, Mountain Eagle felt that this was enough for Arctic Fox, who only wanted revenge.

Because he found a real direction for Blood Fox and his companions...

Instead of rushing into war zones like Syria and Iraq, a better opportunity to kill Ibis would be to launch a surprise attack from the flank, cut off Ibis's strongest support, and use the power of NATO and the "jackal" to dismantle Ibis's operations and force him out of Isis's comfort zone.

After hanging up the phone, Mountain Eagle went into the room and found Blood Fox, who was resting with her eyes closed...

They experienced two very exciting battles during the day, and Blood Fox was injured in two separate incidents...

Although they were all minor injuries, they were quite serious for a man in his sixties.

In the end, they didn't use a vehicle to escape, but a dilapidated speedboat. They evaded pursuit by crossing Lake Snagov, and then, with the help of the mountain eagle's financial resources, they bought a beat-up car at a remote farm, drove around in circles, and returned to the center of Bucharest.

Mountain Eagle's original plan was to go to the town north of Bucharest to cause trouble for the Gypsy gang "Bayonet Gang," but the appearance of people from the Edward Foundation made him change his mind.

Because the crows followed those guys who were covering their tracks on the highway to the city center...

What Mountain Eagle didn't expect was that this group of people were actually staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel.

The information Kobe brought back allowed Mountain Eagle to basically confirm the reason and process of the scheme against Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knight, but the sudden appearance of the Edward Foundation still made him somewhat curious.

He wanted to know if there was any connection between Iberia and the Edward Foundation...

Moreover, these people have now been exposed, and the 'Bayonet Gang' is right there and can't escape. Of course, he will choose to eliminate the more valuable opponents and try to get useful information from them.

Mountain Eagle woke up Blood Fox and the others, recounted the information he had received, and then gave the old men some time to process it.

A tense atmosphere filled the apartment's living room. Finally, Eddie, whose temper was flaring, kicked the coffee table hard and said angrily, "I told you that idiot 'Silver Fox' was unreliable. He didn't even take any precautions against a traitor like Iberis..."

What are we waiting for? Buy plane tickets to Iraq! I'm going to rip Iberia out of its guts and take back what's rightfully ours!

Blood Fox glanced at Eddie, shook his head, and said, "We know the channels we used to be familiar with, and Iberia knows them too. Now we don't even know who we can trust."

Bloodfox glanced at Mountain Eagle and said wearily, "I have no objection to your idea of ​​re-establishing 'Arctic Fox' in Thailand and taking on commissions from the Department of Homeland Security."

But are you really confident that you can find the Angel of Death?
If that guy really has two dirty bombs hidden inside America, even if we find him, there's nothing we can do about it, because that kind of person wouldn't keep such dangerous things around.

Based on my experience dealing with this type of person, he is very likely to use his own life as a bargaining chip at the last crucial moment.

"Mountain Eagle, I can roughly guess what you're thinking, but your rash intervention in an event of this magnitude will bring you endless trouble."

Mountain Eagle shrugged indifferently and said, "Things have come to this point. Do you think I can just abandon you and stay out of it?"
Rather than rashly venturing into the unfamiliar territory of Iraq and searching for Iberia under the threat of that 'jackal,' I would much rather target the Angel of Death.

The situation in Iraq will be reversed as soon as that guy dies.

If NATO forces launch a full-scale attack on ISIS, even if Iberia manages to survive, it will suffer heavy losses.

Dude, you have to understand that Iberia is still under the Arctic Fox banner. If we don't establish a good relationship with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and make our position clear beforehand, Arctic Fox will become a thorn in the side of the entire NATO after this incident.

We cannot afford such consequences!

Unless you're willing to give up the name 'Arctic fox,' Arctic foxes will be universally hated wherever they go.

After hearing the whole story, Blood Fox knew very well that the situation described by Mountain Eagle was very likely to occur...

However, if Mountain Eagle is put under tremendous pressure to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security, and the issue of the Angel of Death is not resolved, Mountain Eagle may very well bear the consequences, and his past achievements could suffer a huge blow.

These old men worked their whole lives and only managed to save up a hundred million dollars for Arctic Fox, while what about Mountain Eagle...?

Even excluding the industries in Thailand, Alaska, and El Salvador, the funds that Mr. Poincaré and his team are currently managing, which belong entirely to the Mountain Eagles, already exceed one billion US dollars.

If we include other foreign investments, namely those from various powerful figures, and Mr. Poincaré's involvement in some Southeast Asian money laundering operations, the total amount exceeds $1.5 billion...

From any perspective, it's not worthwhile for Shan Ying, a billionaire, to do this.

Blood Fox really didn't want Mountain Eagle to gamble his career for Arctic Fox...

Mountain Eagle, however, was quite philosophical about it. He noticed Blood Fox's concerns, so he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't overthink it..."

Arctic foxes may be seen as a source of personal value, but in some ways, they're more of a burden. But I see it differently. After so much time, adjustment, and adaptation, I now see Arctic foxes, and their offspring, as invaluable assets…

In the past, Silver Fox has always been rather conservative, so it's been difficult for me to fully unleash the potential of the Arctic fox descendants, but things are different now...

And most importantly, I've considered you all my family for a long time, and I won't stand by and watch a bunch of old men blindly hunt down Iberia!

Blood Fox, from the day you pulled me out of the Mekong River, we've been in cahoots!

That's how I see it, that's how outsiders see it, and that's how you should see it too..."

Seeing Blood Fox's hesitant expression, the old-school sniper impatiently kicked the coffee table and said to Blood Fox with displeasure, "Blood Fox, Mountain Eagle isn't your son..."

Even if he shares the same experiences as your son, even if he takes on a task that your son could never have undertaken while he was alive...

He's not your son, so you can't treat him like a baby who needs to be taken care of. In reality, you're the old man who needs to be taken care of.

Mountain Eagle is also an Arctic Fox. Even if he doesn't admit to being a mercenary, even if he has never participated in Arctic Fox battles, we old guys acknowledge him. He is a brother to our family.

You can't expect him to achieve results that will ensure the Arctic fox offspring are cared for, while simultaneously worrying that he will be influenced by the Arctic foxes...

Your contradictory thoughts, you old codger, are starting to affect your judgment!

The deer's words silenced everyone for a moment...

Blood Fox treats Mountain Eagle like a son. This topic is rarely mentioned among them, but Mountain Eagle can sense it most of the time.

The elk had mentioned to him long ago that the blood fox's son had a similar background and experiences to him...

A top student from a prestigious university, a high-ranking executive in a state-owned enterprise, with a promising future, then one day a gang kidnaps his child, and he spares no effort to rescue him...

The difference between the two is that Mountain Eagle rescued his son, while Blood Fox's son not only failed to rescue his child but also lost himself in the process.

The death of Blood Fox's son was linked to the infighting among oligarchs within Great Russia. Afterwards, Blood Fox, along with Arctic Fox, went on a killing spree within Great Russia. In the end, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to step in to quell the incident, but Arctic Fox was subsequently listed as an unwelcome figure by Great Russia.

From the moment Mountain Eagle awoke on the Mekong River, Blood Fox had been intentionally or unintentionally guiding his actions. It wasn't about exploitation; it was always intertwined with complex emotions and motives.

Seeing that the deer's words had silenced everyone, Mountain Eagle hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Blood Fox's arm with a somewhat helpless expression, saying, "You're old enough to be my father, but I lost my father when I was young and don't want anyone to be my father."

Therefore, I would rather you be my family, my kind, my comrade-in-arms…

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle noticed Eddie constantly winking at him and said irritably, "Why are you winking at me?"
If a camel suddenly said it didn't want to be your comrade-in-arms anymore, but wanted to be your father instead, what would you think?

Eddie shrugged nonchalantly and said, "If Camel is willing to let Tiffany be my girlfriend, then calling him 'Dad' isn't out of the question..."

"fuck you..."

Eddie's hellish answer made everyone give him the middle finger...

Mountain Eagle said with a wry smile, "You old stud really have no taste for anything. You can't even think about a fierce woman like Tiffany. I think your wife Amelia will castrate you sooner or later!"

The camel twisted Eddie's neck, choking him until his tongue lolled out...

“Take back your crazy talk, or I’ll shoot you one day…”

The playful banter between the old men left Blood Fox in a strange state. A few minutes later, the old man suddenly smiled with relief and looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "You're the leader now. You tell us what to do, and we'll do it..."

As he spoke, Blood Fox stood up and stretched his somewhat unsteady body. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I did make some misjudgments before because of my own problems, but these old bones of mine can still move around..."

I agree to your cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, but that's for later. We can't stay in Romania any longer. Now you need to tell me, what is the purpose of our visit?"

Seeing that Blood Fox had recovered, Mountain Eagle smiled and pointed out the window, saying, "The people from the Edward Foundation are staying at the Radisson Hotel. If you feel you're alright, we'll visit them tonight."

Once we've dealt with these guys, we'll head over to the 'Bayonet Gang's' territory!
When it comes to revenge, even if you can't find a key target at the beginning, don't let them be idle; keep them under constant pressure...

That way they won't forget what they did!
