Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

The information revealed by Derek Wayne horrified Joga...

He had long since demystified organizations like the CIA, Mossad, and MI6, whose funding and training of terrorists ultimately led to the backlash against America and didn't even qualify as news.

But he never expected that the rise of the famous Isis was actually influenced by a group of wealthy Texas men.

This group followed in the footsteps of the Bush family, expanding their territory in various war-torn regions around the world connected to the United States.

In order to protect their business, they were no longer satisfied with the protection of the US military. Instead, they came up with the idea of ​​launching a terrorist agent and used their connections to equip this "agent" with a powerful weapon, thus giving rise to a killer organization with terrorist characteristics called "Scapegoat"!
Seeing the frustrated expression on Derek Wayne's face, Mountain Eagle said incredulously, "The appearance of the 'surrogate' is related to you?"
Right!

The Middle East is teeming with angry youths. Give them a little money or a text message and they'll take to the streets to loot, vandalize, and burn.

The Arab Spring owes a debt to these angry young people. When they finally realized they had nothing to show for it and could no longer stay in their hometowns, becoming 'scapegoats' became a good option.

At first, I thought the leader of the 'scapegoats' was a Rohingya man named Rohan..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle stroked his chin and asked with some curiosity, "The Angel of Death doesn't need to have multiple identities. Why did he choose the codename 'Rohan'?"

Derek Wayne said with a wry smile, "The Angel of Death was just the initial manager of the substitutes. After we discovered the huge profit potential of the substitutes, our British allies consulted with us and sent a new manager..."

Her name is Miranda Rohan!

The eagle suddenly gasped, the image of the thief and double agent Miranda Rohan flashing into his mind...

"Miranda Rohan is actually the manager of the 'Scapegoat'?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle suddenly understood how the Angel of Death and that Miranda Lohan knew each other...

No wonder Kobe, with the resources of the Department of Homeland Security, couldn't dig up all of Miranda's information; it turns out there were so many powerful agencies helping her cover it up.

This Miranda is incredibly skilled; she's far more than just a thief...

She was a woman from a Roma family of thieves who served the British military intelligence, the French intelligence agency, and now apparently the CIA, and even seemed to be quite trusted by many parties...

It's incredible that a multi-faceted spy could actually become the manager of the 'scapegoat'!

He looked at Derek Wayne with a mocking gaze and said, "You guys probably have no idea how difficult it is to manage an organization like 'Scapegoats,' and in the end everything spiraled out of control, right?"

Derek Wayne nodded with a wry smile and said, “Not at first, because our allies included the CIA and MI6, who saw ‘scapegoats’ as very good pawns, so they were very motivated to get involved in management.”

Initially, we made a lot of money using 'scapegoats', but later it got out of control because the departure of the Angel of Death caused 'scapegoats' to lose its vertical management capabilities.

Although Miranda developed markets in many countries, we were only focused on making money at the time and did not realize that once these regions reached a certain level of development, they would not be satisfied with being just tools.

After the collapse of the Thai surrogate movement, because we did not provide any form of assistance, surrogate parties in various places chose to go independent.

The scapegoats in Los Angeles were not completely eliminated; Andrew Boehner was one of the masterminds behind them.

Due to the pressure from the 'Bangkok Group,' he was forced to relocate their main forces to Texas.

He came to me last week because the person who substituted him was facing severe restrictions in Texas, and he wanted to repeat the Death Angels' old tricks, using our resources to help him restart his business. In exchange, he brought me news about the Death Angels!

After listening, Mountain Eagle nodded with emotion. He then recalled the 100 million baht he had received when he killed Carlos, the leader of the scapegoat gang, in Thailand...

He initially thought the money was 'protection money' paid by Carlos, but now he realizes it should be 'franchise management fees'.

Judging from the timing, the Los Angeles scapegoats probably hadn't been independent for long when he ran into them, and after a chaotic brawl, he took down the core members of the Los Angeles scapegoats.

The guy named Andrew Boehner moved the scapegoat to Texas, then ran into trouble, and finally remembered his 'original boss', so he came to ask for help with the message from the Angel of Death.

Mountain Eagle sighed at the coincidence, then looked at Derek Wayne, who was desperately trying to get himself drunk, and shook his head, saying, "Don't get yourself drunk, you haven't explained everything yet..."

Derek Wayne shook his head bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I won't get drunk. I just don't want to die too painfully..."

Mountain Eagle took the glass from his hand and said, "I also need you to call and gather everyone on the list in one place, and that Andrew Bona, he definitely didn't tell you the location of the Angel of Death..."

Derek Wayne leaned back in his chair, sighed dejectedly, and said, "That guy is very cunning. He knows our situation, so he asked for a very high price."

So when one of us sent someone to look for you, I pretended not to see it!

As he spoke, Derek Wayne rummaged through his pockets and spread his hands, saying, "I have Andrew Boehner's number on my phone. I can call him and ask him to meet me somewhere."

I can call and invite my allies to join this meeting...

Since we've been so cooperative, could you please remove my name from the final list you're going to expose?

I've done many bad things in my life, I'm doomed, but my children are innocent, they shouldn't be surrounded by malicious eyes.

After listening, Mountain Eagle frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "We have a deal!"
You can live one more day, I want to see this meeting tomorrow night!

Hearing that he could live another day, Derek Wayne nodded with a wry smile and said, "No problem, let me have two more drinks. I'm in a terrible state right now, and it's too late..."

I'll start making calls first thing tomorrow morning. The others haven't realized the seriousness of the situation yet; they'll come to the 'gathering'!

As he spoke, Derek Wayne lay on the dining table, staring blankly at the mountain eagle, and said, "Angel of Death, Angel of Death..."

We never dreamed that an insignificant soldier would push us to this point!

And you, Mountain Eagle...

We are not actually enemies; we just chose the wrong approach!

It's a bit late to apologize now, but I'm sorry...

I hope you will keep your promise! (End of Chapter)
