Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 946 Good show
Mountain Eagle didn't know what kind of impression he had left on Peggy at Li Chengji's Beverly Hills estate. Looking at Peggy, who clearly had something to ask of him, he said somewhat helplessly, "Peggy, I'm here on something important."

Peggy paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Tell me about it; I know some influential people in New Laredo who might be able to help!

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to find someone..."

Peggy kept her eyes fixed on Mountain Eagle's expression. After listening, she ran her right hand across her slender neck and said, "You came here because..."

Mountain Eagle smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I came here to ask someone a few questions. If possible, I don't want too many people to know that I've been here."

Peggy understood immediately...

What Mountain Eagle meant was that the person he was looking for was very important, and he wouldn't mind taking action here if necessary.

Peggy had witnessed the Mountain Eagles' two gambling battles in Los Angeles that involved hundreds of millions of dollars, and she knew how powerful the man in front of her was, so she asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"

"Maybe I can help..."

Mountain Eagle didn't think a woman who helped others with divorces and breakups could be of any help to him. He shook his head and said, "Let's talk about you instead..."

What exactly do you want?
A woman like you would face a great deal of danger in New Laredo; even having a meal with you could bring trouble.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at the restaurant entrance, where Raul Blanco was pointing in his direction while pulling a waiter along...

Seeing this, Mountain Eagle smiled and shook his head, saying, "It seems that the mayor's son has taken a liking to you."

Do you need my help to solve this problem?

Peggy clearly didn't care much about the mayor's son. Her eyes were fixed on the wedding scene not far away. She sighed and said, "I want to sabotage that wedding. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then said with a laugh, "Ruining other people's marriages is your specialty. You've asked the wrong person if you're asking me about this."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle curiously glanced back at the wedding venue. The bride and groom had not yet appeared, but judging from the attire and demeanor of the guests, as well as the mayor's son who was clearly also attending the wedding, the groom's family must be quite influential...

Why would you want to ruin someone's wedding?

Is it difficult for you to ruin a young person's relationship?

Peggy rolled her eyes at Mountain Eagle's not-so-sharp sarcasm and said, "On the contrary, my people have already ruined the groom's love life. The groom broke up with his fiancée a week ago..."

For this, I received a large commission from the girl's father!

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle asked curiously, "The groom's fiancée's father hired you to sabotage his daughter's wedding?"

What kind of operation is this?

Peggy smiled, her sexy lips pursed, and said, "This is an emergency measure taken by the father of a kind girl after discovering the unsavory side of his future son-in-law."

So, Mountain Eagle, put away your prejudices. Although I earn money from breakups, sometimes I really can help my clients avoid the biggest risks in life.

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle smiled and nodded, saying, "If what you said is true, then you have indeed helped them."

But since you've already succeeded, why continue?
Did the bride's father place an order for you tonight too?

Peggy sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "Tonight's bride is my woman..."

She was originally supposed to leave immediately after her success, but for some special reason, she had to agree to marry tonight's groom.

Mountain Eagle didn't think Peggy's women were any respectable women. He frowned and said, "As I understand it, marriage doesn't seem like a bad thing for your women."

"At least tonight's groom is definitely much richer than your men..."

Peggy knew that Mountain Eagle was implying that she and her men would get more by marrying the wealthy man...

Faced with the Mountain Eagles' prejudice, Peggy earnestly said, "Mountain Eagles, we have our own professional ethics, and not getting too involved with the parties involved is one of the most important ones!"

After listening, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "You are right, but your men obviously did not listen to you."

“Elsa has a special reason, so I don’t want to watch her jump into the fire…”

Peggy looked at the wedding scene not far away with a complicated expression, and said with some helplessness, "Tonight's groom is named José Simeone, and he is a border trader."

To outsiders, José is a very good man, but his father is a core member of Los Zetas. Although his official identity is now the chairman of a large trading company, he is actually in charge of Los Zetas's border oil and some drug smuggling business.

Coincidentally, Jose's father buried Elsa's entire family alive in the Texas desert years ago.

Elsa's father is a border patrol officer!

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You mean, your subordinate Elsa married this Jose for revenge?" As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy with a complicated expression and asked curiously, "You actually came to the Los Zetas-controlled area for the sake of your subordinate."

Based on my understanding of this drug cartel, once your subordinate's identity is exposed, she, and even you, will be torn to pieces.

Peggy looked at Mountain Eagle with a resentful expression and said with a sad tone, "So what kind of person do you think I should be?"
You might see me as a bitch who leads a bunch of sluts to mess around with other people's relationships, but I know what we are..."

Mountain Eagle was taken aback by the retort, then he awkwardly rubbed his cheeks and looked at Peggy, sincerely apologizing, "OK, I admit I was biased against your business, and I apologize for my previous frivolity."

After hearing this, Peggy's expression changed, instantly transforming from a slightly resentful woman into a proud career woman...

"I don't care what others think of me. After all, our job is to ruin other people's relationships, and I'm proud that we always succeed."

We have proven that, regardless of whether one is a man or a woman, betrayal is the ultimate fate of love; we merely accelerated this process.

Mountain Eagle had long witnessed Peggy's chameleon-like abilities, and he said somewhat helplessly, "Although I don't think it's anything to be proud of, it's about making money..."

After saying that, Mountain Eagle changed the subject, no longer asking Peggy's questions, and instead steered the conversation towards the issue of New Laredo...

The two chatted and laughed as they drank a glass of red wine, and soon the seafood set meal from the restaurant was served.

High-end restaurants aren't places to fill your stomach. After finishing a lobster set meal, Mountain Eagle didn't even feel like he had anything left in his stomach.

Seeing that Mountain Eagle didn't look full, Peggy chuckled and put half a lobster on his plate, saying with a smile, "I'm on a diet, and I'm more interested in their desserts. These lobsters were caught this morning, so let's not waste them."

Mountain Eagle wasn't embarrassed at all. He casually picked out the lobster meat covered with a thick layer of cheese and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating it in a few bites, he said with a smile, "The lobster tastes really good, but it's a pity that no matter how much you eat, it won't keep you full."

Maybe after we finish this meal, we should go out and find a place to have a drink…

Peggy knew that Mountain Eagle was implying that she should leave this dangerous place with him...

Despite the eagle's offer, Peggy shook her head slightly and said, "NO, I'm taking my people back!"

Mountain Eagle didn't know where Peggy got her confidence from, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "What are you planning to do?"
Should we rush in and snatch them when the wedding starts, or wait until after the wedding to take your men away?

Peggy swirled the wine in her glass, looked at Mountain Eagle with a smile, and said, "You'll see soon enough..."

As Peggy was speaking, a waiter pushed a food cart toward them...

After a polite greeting, the waiter lifted the lids of two large containers on the food cart, revealing two large plates inside, each containing a 5-centimeter square dessert.

Looking at Peggy's expectant face, Mountain Eagle couldn't help but laugh and said, "If someone offered me this stuff and charged me $85, I would definitely suspect that I've been scammed."

Peggy, holding a small spoon, looked expectantly at the tempting dessert. Hearing Mountain Eagle's complaint, she rolled her eyes and said, "You know, some things are meant to be enjoyed. Sometimes, too much of anything can actually affect how we feel."

As she spoke, Peggy scooped a piece of dessert with a delicate little silver spoon and put it in her mouth, then her expression suddenly froze on her face...

A few seconds later, Peggy picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, looked at Mountain Eagle with a helpless expression, and said, "Someone put something in the dessert. I think I'm in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle frowned and observed his surroundings. He saw that in the garden where the wedding was taking place, the young man named Raul Blanco and his friends were gathered together with wine glasses, glancing in his direction from time to time.

He couldn't quite understand the thought process of these rich kids, so he picked up a spoon, scooped out a piece of dessert, and smelled it...

A sweet aroma, a blend of honey, butter, and nuts, instantly filled the mountain eagle's nostrils...

This pudding-like, cloyingly sweet stuff was definitely not to Mountain Eagle's taste, but he didn't detect anything unusual about it.

He looked at Peggy and asked curiously, "How did you know someone had poisoned the dessert?"

Peggy's smile vanished because the anticipated dessert session was interrupted...

In response to the eagle's question, Peggy replied expressionlessly, "By the smell..."

Without this ability, women like us simply wouldn't be able to escape unscathed from complex social situations.

As she spoke, Peggy crossed her arms and looked at the wedding scene not far away. When she saw Raul Blanco and his cronies pointing and whispering in her direction, she gave a meaningful smile and said to Mountain Eagle, "Mountain Eagle, stay and watch a good show later, and then let me stay in your room for the night, okay?"

Don't worry, there won't be any major trouble. I originally wanted to be alone, but after seeing you, I, as a woman, can't help but want to seek protection.

At this moment, the mountain eagle, through the crows, spotted a convoy of Mexican military vehicles on the distant street, while two helicopters were also flying in that direction...

Having roughly guessed what was about to happen, Mountain Eagle smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "I misunderstood you a bit, at least I misunderstood your so-called 'having connections in New Laredo'..."

I now think you might actually be able to give me answers to some questions!
