Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 947 The Stereotypical Villain
Mexico's drug war had been going on for exactly ten years by 2016!

Over the past decade, Mexican drug cartels have transformed from a gang-like operation into a warlord-like force. Their equipment has become increasingly sophisticated, their numbers have grown, and the participants have become younger. Most importantly, their methods have become increasingly ruthless, even bordering on the cruelty of terrorists.

Mountain Eagle knew that the Mexican government's conflict with the drug cartels was very intense, but he really didn't expect that the army would actually arrive in Nuevo Laredo, a city controlled by Los Zetas, on the US-Mexico border at this time.

What was even more unexpected was how brutal these people would be...

Before the most important couple, the bride and groom, had even arrived, two helicopters with machine gunners on either side suddenly appeared and descended to illuminate a temporary tent that was supposed to be used for the bride and groom to rest in with searchlights.

Moreover, just as the crowd in the hotel garden began to riot, the machine gunner on the helicopter pulled the trigger without warning...

A volley of bullets struck a granite fountain in the garden, warning those present not to move...

Flying pebbles cut several people's bodies, and then, after a scream, a large number of Mexican military police surrounded the hotel. Two teams of soldiers in black combat uniforms rushed into the temporary tent in the garden with weapons in hand, and soon an old man in a suit was forced out by the head.

The groom roared and shoved several masked soldiers in black, frantically shouting for those around him to help stop the soldiers' actions.

But no one responded to his call. The slightly braver ones just stood there, while the cowardly ones had already lay down on the ground to avoid their movements causing misunderstandings among the tense soldiers.

These people were quite wise in their approach, because when Mexican military and police enter a city controlled by drug traffickers to carry out a mission, the soldiers' level of tension is at its highest.

At this point, let alone being arrested, even making some dangerous moves could lead to being subjected to having one's magazine emptied, just like Black people in America.

What puzzled Mountain Eagle was that many people at the scene were clearly people of high status, but they didn't seem to have any intention of introducing themselves or asking about the situation.

Mountain Eagle even saw several middle-aged men lying on the ground, but they still smiled when they saw the groom's father being taken away.

While Mountain Eagle was watching the commotion, he noticed a woman in a gold miniskirt pulling a tall woman along as they slipped out of the cordoned-off area, hugging the shadows of the garden, while the Mexican soldiers with their guns at the ready seemed to be blind, letting them cross the cordon.

Mountain Eagle has an excellent memory; the woman in the gold miniskirt was the same woman who spoke with Peggy in the hotel lobby earlier…

The atmosphere between them wasn't particularly pleasant at the time, and Mountain Eagle paid special attention to the woman.

Having noticed all this, the mountain eagle looked at Peggy with a slightly different feeling now...

He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "I have to apologize for my past misjudgment of you. You are much more capable than I imagined, and you are a very good boss."

Peggy paused for a moment, then looked away from the scene and onto Mountain Eagle's face. She smiled and said, "Don't you think I'm just asking for trouble?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I estimate that every working person in the world wishes their boss would be as eager to cause trouble as you are."

As Mountain Eagle watched the chaotic garden wedding scene unfold as the soldiers withdrew, he chuckled and said, "These are all celebrities from New Laredo. Are you sure you're okay with what you're doing?"

Peggy picked up her glass of red wine, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
I was simply fulfilling my civic duty when I discovered a criminal for whom the US had offered a bounty.

Peggy, glancing at the eagle's noncommittal expression, smiled and said, "Alright, I've informed the DEA and IRS that Simonis will be here..."

That guy not only trafficked drugs, but also smuggled large quantities of illegal crude oil into the United States.

Simonis is a veteran of Los Zetas. Most people outside the city have only heard of his nickname 'Z-9', but they don't know that he turned himself into an oil trader five years ago.

He used legitimate oil tankers to smuggle drugs, transporting approximately 500 kilograms of various drugs into Texas each year.

He was linked to dozens of murders in Texas, and most importantly, the crude oil he profited from smuggling certainly wasn't taxed in the United States.

What followed was quite logical...

Oh, you should have seen Elsa. You saw the woman who covered her escape in the hotel lobby. She's a DEA agent and the main driving force behind this operation.

I paid a considerable price to persuade her!

Mountain Eagle admires people who value loyalty, especially those who value the lives of their subordinates highly...

He gave Peggy a thumbs up and nodded, saying, "But it's definitely worth it!"
I've always believed in the theory that a boss doesn't need to be a competent manager, but he/she must be a competent leader.

The most important quality of a leader is the ability to inspire those he manages to follow him willingly and convincingly through his actions.

You are definitely a qualified leader!

Peggy watched as the scene in the distance gradually calmed down under the organization of several seemingly influential people. She stood up, went to the front desk to pay the bill, and then walked with Mountain Eagle towards the elevator, intending to go upstairs to Mountain Eagle's room to lay low. However, to their surprise, while they were waiting for the elevator, the young master Raul Blanco actually walked in with two friends…

The moment he saw Mountain Eagle and Peggy, the young man's eyes lit up, and then he actually took the initiative to approach them...

Mountain Eagle noticed Peggy's breathing quicken slightly. He looked down at her right hand gripping the hem of her dress and said with a hint of exasperation, "Don't move. I want to spend the night in the hotel in peace..."

Upon hearing this, Peggy smiled sweetly, then took Mountain Eagle's arm and nestled most of her body into his embrace...

"I'm a little scared, let's hurry back to the room..."

Raul Blanco, still unaware of who he was standing before, heard Peggy's murmured words. He walked up to Mountain Eagle with a smile, first sizing up the tall, imposing Asian man, then said to Peggy, "Madam, it's not safe here tonight. Do you need help...?"

My father is the mayor of Nuevo Laredo, and he has already organized a police force to come over. If you need anything, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you.

Looking at the stereotypical villain in front of him, a character who should only appear in third-rate novels, Mountain Eagle sighed helplessly. Then, looking at Raul, whose eyes were fixed on Peggy's fair back, he said in a deep voice, "Sir, my female companion and I can guarantee our safety."

The mountain eagle was extremely imposing. When he put on a stern face, Raul subconsciously paused for a moment, then watched them enter the elevator without daring to follow...

Seeing the elevator buttons stop at '5', Raul, his expression contorted with rage, pressed the button again and said to the two men beside him, "Have the hotel staff check their identities..."

"Fuck, I've never seen a woman like that in Mexico. I want her!"

Upon hearing this, one of Raul's companions grinned lewdly and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Soon the New Laredo police will cordon off the area around the hotel to 'protect' the hotel guests from harassment, so we have plenty of time.

But that guy from Tokyo University seemed a bit difficult to deal with. Would you mind if a few more people came with you?

Raul rubbed his slightly itchy nose, took out several packets of heroin from his pocket and handed them to his two companions, then shook his head and said, "No, I don't mind..."

Simeone is finished, we have to celebrate!
It's a pity his wife is missing, otherwise we could have 'invited' her over.

The Simonis family's business is finished. That crazy woman Claudia Felix will definitely go on a rampage and start wars with everyone. As long as the army can hold out for a while, the Gulf Group can take over Los Zetas's territory in the east and severely damage them.

Haha, this is the best thing that's happened to me this year, we have to celebrate!

I'm fed up with those barbarians of Los Zetas; they have absolutely no idea how to do business in a civilized way.

…………

Inside the elevator, Peggy leaned most of her body against Mountain Eagle's chest, her right hand resting on his chest, and said with seductive eyes, "Mountain Eagle, you looked incredibly handsome just now..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle couldn't help but roll his eyes and said helplessly, "Madam, I must remind you, I already have a wife and children."

"And there's a mistress..."

Peggy, seeing the eagle's helpless expression, laughed and said, "If you're having relationship troubles, I'd be happy to help you."

Actually, you've always misunderstood me. My business isn't just about 'breaking up'...

Enhancing the emotional connection between men and women, and even finding ways to get clients' partners to accept clients having multiple lovers, is also one of our services.

Unfortunately, I haven't encountered any clients with this need yet...

In fact, outstanding men are often quite vulnerable when it comes to emotional matters, and given the right price, we can certainly help our clients manage their private lives through other means.

Mountain Eagle did not believe Peggy's lewd words. After the elevator doors opened, he took Peggy's arm and walked to the door of his room.

When opening the door, he checked the tape above and, finding nothing amiss, Shanying took out his room key and opened the door...

"Do as you please..."

Mountain Eagle gave Peggy a few instructions, then went out onto the balcony to make a few phone calls, and then checked on the surroundings.

Simonis was put on a military vehicle. Mountain Eagle didn't believe that Los Zetas would easily let his army escape with their important mission...

The mountain eagle quickly discovered the situation...
