Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 976 The Giant Appears
The mountain eagle wasn't afraid of the woman in front of it at all...

As the woman slowly fitted the silencer onto the pistol, Mountain Eagle suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table…

"boom"

The brown-haired woman was startled when the door to the room was suddenly kicked open, and four soldiers in black rushed in with guns, pointing them at Mountain Eagle. Two of them stepped forward and forcefully pinned him down, binding his hands and feet to a chair with straps.

The eagle did not resist, so its limbs appeared particularly powerless...

Seeing this, the brown-haired woman cursed under her breath, her expression turning ugly...

The moment Mountain Eagle slammed his fist on the table, all the oppressive atmosphere she had painstakingly created vanished, and the four soldiers who rushed in only exposed her cowardice.

Seeing the four black-clad soldiers looking on high alert, and realizing she had exposed more problems to Mountain Eagle, the brown-haired woman rolled her eyes, dismissed the soldiers, and then looked coldly at the ever-smiling Mountain Eagle, saying, "Mountain Eagle, the Department of Homeland Security personnel are outside. Now I am the one who can decide your life or death..."

We need your cooperation, and in return, we will forget what you did to our colleagues in Alaska and Romania and the damage you caused.”

Mountain Eagle looked at the brown-haired woman and said with a smile, "You're in too much of a hurry. You should finish interrogating everyone and then come over with fabricated evidence to intimidate me."

"After putting enough pressure on me, make your demands, and then promise me enough benefits, maybe I'll waver."

The brown-haired woman looked at the mountain eagle, who seemed completely unfazed, and frowned as she said, "Those people don't know who you are, but I know very well!"

In my opinion, if you had chosen to resist just now, I would have killed you without hesitation!
You are too dangerous. Starting from Thailand, the CIA will definitely suffer losses in anything related to you.

You've always harbored a deep-seated prejudice against the CIA; at least in my eyes, you're simply not a suitable partner.

Mountain Eagle looked at the brown-haired woman's expression; it didn't seem like she was joking. He smiled and said, "Have I offended you?"

The brown-haired woman nodded slightly and said, "Do you remember the two agents who were trapped under a car and burned alive on the Bangkok highway?"

One of them is my fiancé!

As she spoke, the brown-haired woman took out a laminated photograph, placed it on the table, pushed it in front of Mountain Eagle, and said in a deep voice, "Their deaths were not a coincidence at all, but rather an act of revenge!"

The laminated photo is only half-finished, but the scene depicted is still shocking...

Back then, due to the loss of dangerous radioactive materials, the British MI6 and CIA jointly blockaded the sea near Krabi and drove mercenaries to indiscriminately attack smuggling boats as a deterrent.

The photos document the bodies of a group of people who were roasted alive in the ship's cabin, most of whom were women and children.

Mountain Eagle glanced down at the photo, then looked at the brown-haired woman in front of him with a grim expression, and said, "If your fiancé did all of this, do you think he deserves to die?"

The brown-haired woman shook her head and said, "No, he's on a mission to prevent dangerous items that could threaten the lives of tens of thousands of people from entering the black market."

The brown-haired woman's shameless explanation amused Mountain Eagle, who laughed and said, "When I arrived, they were being attacked by the Knights of the Round Table. To be honest, I was saving their lives; it's just that your fiancé was unlucky."

Since you were there, you should know Kate. She was supposed to die, but I saved her, and now we're very good friends.

The brown-haired woman paused for a moment, then sneered, "You broke Kate's neck in front of so many people. Kate is truly lucky to have a friend like you."

Mountain Eagle chuckled and said, "You're obviously not doing well, otherwise you would know that Kate is now the head of the FBI's Bangkok team, and because of her continuous merits, Kate's authority is constantly expanding."

"This is all thanks to me. Even if Kate were here, she would thank me!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the pistol in the brown-haired woman's hand, smiled sarcastically, and said, "You're saying all this to tell me that you're a wounded woman who might go crazy and shoot me at any moment."

Playing these tricks makes no sense to me at all...

Why don't you tell me what role the CIA plays in all of this?
I've always wondered why the Angels of Death turned against you, and why they drew the attention of the refugee group to Texas.

"Now that you've appeared, it means the Angel of Death has struck your vitals."

The brown-haired woman didn't answer Mountain Eagle's question directly. She pulled up a chair and sat opposite him, then pressed the muzzle of her gun against his thigh and said, "Mountain Eagle, tell me where Rhea Farrell and 'Arthur' are."

The locator on 'Arthur' shows that she was with you when you crossed the river.

The messages sent back by the soldiers of the 19th Airborne Special Forces before they died proved that you were the murderer who slaughtered them.

Don't think Kobe Andrews can save you. If I hadn't come, those people wouldn't have let you off so easily.

"those people?"

Mountain Eagle glanced down at the pistol pressed against his thigh, then squinted and said, "No wonder I felt the rhythm was off; you joined at the last minute!"

"Who is Léa Farrell? And who are those people?" Mountain Eagle looked at the expressionless brown-haired woman and thought for a moment before saying, "Those people have been working with the Angel of Death all along, using him to smuggle drugs from Mexico into the United States, and at the same time using him to stir up conflicts on the Mexican border, so that they could divert American aid to Mexico towards Texas."

After the Angel of Death went out of control and disappeared, those people had no choice but to cooperate with Los Zetas in order to continue their border business, using their smuggling routes to continue drug trafficking.

Oh, your eyes tell me I was wrong. It's because those people betrayed the Angel of Death, so the Angel of Death is seeking revenge...

"Was it because after what happened in Alaska, those people saw the Angel of Death as a problem and wanted to eliminate him, which led to the current situation?"

Seeing the unperturbed mountain eagle, the brown-haired woman decisively pulled the trigger...

With a soft 'snap', Mountain Eagle felt as if he had been stung by a wasp on his thigh. His hands, which had been ready to smash the brown-haired woman's head, had just relaxed when he felt a sharp pain startle in his thigh...

"Um……"

Seeing the mountain eagle let out a painful groan, sweat instantly began to bead on his forehead...

Seeing this, the brown-haired woman placed the gun on the table, then leaned against it, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the pale-faced Mountain Eagle…

"This is a special type of bullet, filled with the venom of South American bullet ants..."

This venom is not fatal and is said to have some therapeutic effects on certain joint diseases, but it can induce extremely intense neuralgia.

There's a guy called 'Jackal' who loves using these bullets, and apparently they're very effective, so we bought some to deal with emergencies.

"You were first exposed to scopolamine, and now you've been injected with bullet ant venom; the pain will be doubled."

Mountain Eagle felt as if a red-hot iron rod had pierced his thigh, and waves of intense pain washed over his nerves.

To resist the urge to break free of the straps and tear the woman in front of him apart, Mountain Eagle kept taking deep breaths. His muscles tensed under the influence of pain, and steel wire-like patterns formed on their surface.

However, he remained conscious. Facing the brown-haired woman's nonchalant attitude, Mountain Eagle said while breathing heavily, "So I guessed right, didn't I?"

The Angel of Death once worked for 'those people' who had very close ties with the CIA.

What exactly are they? The legendary military-industrial complex?

Seeing that the mountain eagle was sweating profusely from the pain and still wanted to get to the bottom of things, the brown-haired woman laughed and said, "The military-industrial complex is just a bored imagination of the world..."

In reality, it doesn't matter which side you're on, whether it's the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, whether it's the establishment or conservatives, or even whether it's left or right...

There are only rich and poor people in this world!

Some of the wealthy have formed interest groups based on past profit models and profit distribution, operating according to the rules of money and power...

They are not a military-industrial complex, but a wealthy group that has been parasitic on the system and has long profited from war and danger.

Most of them don't even know each other, but whenever a problem arises, they act in a way that optimizes their own interests, and this action naturally makes them appear as allies.

As she spoke, the brown-haired woman looked at the mountain eagle with a ferocious expression and said with a smile, "Mountain Eagle, have you heard of the Lake Baikal Foundation?"

Congressman William Hurt was just a fringe member of the foundation, but now someone thinks you have a bright future, so they've asked me to give you a chance...

"Mountain Eagle, partnering with us is a great opportunity for you!"

Upon hearing the name 'Lake Baikal Foundation,' the mountain eagle's mind suddenly went blank...

Most people have never heard of this foundation, but the mountain eagle, who had spent many years in St. Petersburg, knew some of the things that were circulating among the people...

The Lake Baikal Foundation is a shareholder in several major Russian energy companies. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Putin took over the mess left by Yeltsin and attempted to nationalize the shares of these energy companies.

Then, under the leadership of the British Rothschild family, the Lake Baikal Foundation fought a lawsuit against Putin that left him humiliated and Russia feeling utterly humiliated.

The Lake Baikal Foundation inserted a blood vessel into Russia's core profit-generating sector. In exchange, Russia promised that all its domestic energy companies would choose London for listing, thus allowing Russia to smoothly integrate into the international financial system.

The Lake Baikal Foundation rarely appears in the public eye. I once thought it was a fabrication by someone inside Russia, but it turns out it's actually true!
Looking at the expression on the brown-haired woman's face, Mountain Eagle, panting heavily, shook his head and said, "If you want me to join, you'll have to shoot yourself with that gun first, then I'll consider it. Otherwise, don't even think about getting the information you want from me..."

Upon hearing this, the brown-haired woman's expression darkened as she grabbed Mountain Eagle's collar and said through gritted teeth, "You really think I can't do anything to you?"

Seeing the other person's exasperated look, Mountain Eagle suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You'd better go ask your boss. I think he might agree to my suggestion..."

After all, you're just a nobody, right? Hahaha…
