Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 919 The Tycoon

The so-called 'charitable organization' that Mountain Eagle is referring to is definitely not what Anita imagined...

Ignoring Anita's tantrums, Mountain Eagle called Mr. Poincaré and obtained a clean account information, which he then forwarded to Anita.

Whether the Polaris organization would actually provide funding was irrelevant to Mountain Eagle. The moment he saw those trained, inhuman women in the abandoned factory, the 'Kosovo Liberation Organization' was already on his death list.

We need to capture 'Beluga' and also fight the Kosovo Liberation Organization. As long as we have enough firepower, we can actually do both things at the same time.

However, the deer and their companions saw it differently...

When they learned that someone was willing to sponsor their operation with 80 yuan, and all they had to do was take a few photos and bring back those who were already in need of help...

The deer sat on the ground, rubbing its old face vigorously, and said with some confusion, "It's possible to do business like this now?"

Mountain Eagle understood Deer's confusion. He observed the enemy helicopter's position, then simply sat down close to the jeep's rear wheel, stretched his body, and said with a smile, "Brother, times are changing..."

How many years have you been retired?
Do you know how advanced modern communication and media are?

Don't think they gave us 80 because they're generous. If I weren't busy right now, I could talk to them using the Fjällräven name, and the price would be double what we're worth.

You need to understand, we are the world's number one Arctic fox, and they can pay 80 to have their organization's name listed alongside ours...

If we succeed, they will gain far more in publicity and influence than we do.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the somewhat complicated expression on the deer's face and said with a smile, "Arctic foxes used to operate only in a specific circle. Once we break out of the mercenary circle, you'll find that the world's number one can get by anywhere."

Because we believe that we are the guarantee of traffic, and 'traffic' represents money and influence!

So now you know why I'm so confident?

The elk didn't quite understand what the mountain eagle meant, but the old guy had one good point: he didn't dwell on things he didn't understand...

He took out a small wine flask from his pocket, unscrewed it, took a sip, and then handed the flask to the camel beside him, saying with a smile, "I bet even Blood Fox wouldn't have imagined that we old men would actually be worth 80."

Camel took a sip of vodka, the strong liquor making his entire face contort...

Exhaling a breath reeking of alcohol, Camel handed the flask to Eddie and shook his head, saying, "We old men aren't worth that much money, but as long as Mountain Eagle is around, Arctic Fox is worth it..."

Seeing that even the old cowboy Camel had learned to flatter, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "It's Mountain Eagle and Arctic Fox who make us worth so much money!"
But this is just the beginning...

Stop focusing on the so-called 'commission'. Once you step outside the mercenary framework, you'll find that when we decide to present ourselves as 'charitable', funds will flow into our foundation account like a spring.

Because those people aren't hiring us, they're funding us to do good deeds and the right things!
Spending this kind of money, to some extent, carries 'emotional value'.

Camel, who also owns his own security training camp, asked curiously, "Is what you're doing really legal?"

"We're not police officers, we don't have law enforcement authority, and can this foundation even really function?"

The eagle understood the difficulty better than the camel, but he was already prepared...

After taking the flask Eddie handed him and taking a sip, Mountain Eagle exhaled a breath of alcohol and said with disdain, "Next time, drink some good wine. This stuff tastes like antifreeze."

As he spoke, the mountain eagle looked at the camel and said with a smile, "If we publicly raise funds and then use that money for the public welfare cause I mentioned, that would definitely be illegal."

However, once my cryptocurrency trading website goes live, I can ask Snowden and his team to help me create a fundraising link, using cryptocurrency as the main source and channel for raising funds.

The world is unfair, but when you have enough money and decide to use it on the right things, you'll find that the world is also fair...

Because we can use money to buy media space, use the media to put pressure on the authorities, and even use money to buy their cooperation.

If you have paid attention to some large NGOs, you will find that they possess a certain degree of extraterritoriality in most countries of the world.

They participate in organizing color revolutions, spreading negative news, and organizing riots to hinder local development, but no one can do anything about them.
We don't need to emulate them, but if we have enough influence, we can gain sufficient leeway in our actions.

The camel seemed to understand some of it...

In essence, it's about buying fame with money, then using that money to sponsor the authorities' efforts to combat human trafficking, and finally securing the right for Arctic foxes to legally enter the market.

It's basically: I'll give you the money, I'll do the work, you get the credit, and in the end, you just have to tolerate my rudeness and clean up the mess.

This is nothing new, not only in some underdeveloped third-world countries, but also in Europe and America...

Camel and his companions are people who are used to taking action. They don't think about the difficulties and costs involved; they just feel that the path chosen by the mountain eagle for the new Arctic fox is in line with their imagination.

In this situation, as they gradually felt more at ease, their enthusiasm also increased...

If their initial motivation was primarily revenge, they now have a new objective: to restore the Fjällräven brand before new recruits arrive.

Whether this 80 yuan is considered a business deal or not is not important. What's important is letting people know that Arctic Fox is still around!

The three old men were in better spirits and even drank a few more sips of wine. Members of the Kosovo Liberation Organization were searching everywhere by helicopter, and ground forces were slowly catching up, setting up roadblocks and checkpoints along the way.

Driving on the road at this time would easily expose them, so they simply rested where they were and prepared to set off for their destination again when it got dark.

While the three old men were eating and drinking, the mountain eagle, driven by crows, began a large-scale reconnaissance mission, quickly pinpointing the Kosovo Liberation Organization's stronghold and the exact location of the so-called 'farm'.

…………

What Mountain Eagle didn't expect was that while he was figuring out how to deal with the enemy, a huge sum of $200 million was deposited into the account he had sent to Anita...

Then the 'Polaris Group' began attacking the US-led NATO through social media platforms, while doing nothing in Kosovo and watching it become a living hell.

The videos released on various platforms included accounts from the girls who had just been rescued, as well as photographic evidence of the factory's interior taken by Anita before she left...

These items, once taken out, quickly caused a huge uproar...

It wasn't because the 'Polaris Group' actually had a huge following, but because some members of the group were adept at manipulating online public opinion. They posted photos of the arms of several dead women online, along with a sensational headline...

"Kosovo is becoming a paradise for European and American sexual perverts, with many well-known European and American tycoons involved in human trafficking."

They actually had no evidence, but netizens believed they did, and the matter quickly escalated.

…………

By the time the mountain eagle received the news, it was already dark...

Duchamp, who was responsible for escorting the women to safety, arrived with a six-man team, looking disheveled, to meet up with Mountain Eagle.

Just as Shan Ying was about to ask him what had happened, Li Chengji called him...

Facing a group of somewhat disheveled soldiers from the Northern Brigade, Mountain Eagle waved for them to rest, then went to a corner to answer Li Chengji's phone call...

"Big sister, what can I do for you?"

Lee Sung-hee, speaking with a strange tone on the other end of the phone, asked, "Mountain Eagle, are you planning to cooperate with the 'Polaris Organization' to combat human trafficking groups in Kosovo?"

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then said, "Me, cooperate with them?"
Who told you that?

Lee Sung-hee paused for a moment, then said, "Just now, a major sponsor of the 'Polaris Organization' purchased a Super VIP membership from me..."

He requested a phone call with you to discuss combating criminal groups in Kosovo and rescuing people kidnapped and trafficked by warlord gangs.

Even the mountain eagle was dumbfounded...

The international intermediary company's super VIP is worth $8000 million. Although this amount of money is equivalent to buying a bond with an extremely low interest rate, isn't it a bit too extravagant to take out $8000 million just to make a phone call to yourself?
Moreover, he had already given his phone number to Anita. Why would this major sponsor of the 'Polaris Organization' need to go through all that trouble and spend extra money to contact him?
Thinking of this, Mountain Eagle asked curiously, "Who is this so-called 'major sponsor'?"
What exactly does he want to do?

Upon hearing this, Li Chengji said in a somewhat strange tone, "You still don't know?"

The mountain eagle asked, bewildered, "What should I know?"

Li Chengji said with some doubt: "Jim Clark, a 35-year-old Silicon Valley upstart, founded a company that was acquired last year, making him a newly minted Silicon Valley billionaire. His new company has also received a lot of attention recently, and it is said that it will soon go public for financing."

This guy was born in Costa Rica and at 17 he entered Carnegie Mellon University with a letter of recommendation to study computer software engineering.

Jim Clark started a company while still in school, and by the time he graduated, that company had brought him $2500 million…

This guy is not only a genius, but also a funder of several large NGOs in the United States...

The well-known organizations 'STOP,' 'A12,' and 'Polaris,' which are active on the front lines of stopping human trafficking and rescuing victims, were all founded with his funding..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle asked in surprise, "What is this guy's purpose in funding these organizations?"
Is the Polaris organization very famous?

Lee Sung-hee sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "I don't know why a tycoon like Jim Clark would invest so heavily in this area..."

However, I know about this Polaris organization; they are well-known in the field of anti-human trafficking and are known for their extreme actions.

At the same time, the Polaris organization is also a client of international intermediary companies, because they sometimes hire reliable mercenaries through us to protect their investigators as they go deep into dangerous places to collect evidence, and sometimes even engage in firefights with criminal groups.

Jim Clark also invested the most in Polaris...

However, it's clear that you've made him understand that the 'extremes' of Polaris are just child's play!

That guy could have contacted you directly, but he came to me first...

By doing this, he is essentially using international intermediary companies to endorse his financial resources.

After listening, Mountain Eagle thought for a few minutes and then said, "What exactly does he want to do?"
