Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

The Mountain Eagle didn't answer Kobe's question because he needed to wait for his teammates to arrive and join him...

Although the two choices presented by the Lake Baikal Foundation put him in an awkward position, it also made him determined to mobilize all his resources to put on a good show for those old men hiding behind the scenes.

In this world, only death is truly fair. He must demonstrate his ability to "create death." The more powerful and ruthless he appears now, the more lenient the situation he will face in the future.

Because the Lake Baikal Foundation is hierarchical, the top level is only responsible for making decisions, while the lower levels are responsible for implementation.

If he acts fierce enough, he can keep the lower-level members of the Lake Baikal Foundation calm.

Kobe still had enough energy. After they got off the plane, they went straight into an empty hangar, where the accompanying technicians began setting up various electronic devices. Throughout the process, no one from the airport came to question them.

Since submitting a report that satisfied Washington, Kate has been quite silent, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.

Daniel, a roguish but reformed undercover agent from the Bangkok team, tricked his colleague Rosa into trying out some of the iron cages prepared in the hangar...

Seeing Rosa violently shaking the cage and threatening him, Daniel laughed and opened the cage door. After dodging Rosa's attack, he raised his hand and said, "Hehehe, buddy, I apologize. I just wanted to test if the cage was secure. After all, they're used to imprison some of the most dangerous people in the world, don't you think?"

Rosa slammed her hand on the iron cage and said angrily, "I don't think a bunch of half-crippled people can be that dangerous. That Mountain Eagle is a madman, and none of those prisoners are even whole..."

I think these cages are unnecessary; we could just put them in any room.

Daniel chuckled and counted on his fingers, saying, "The world's number one middleman, 'White Whale,' 'Arthur' of the world's third-largest mercenary group, the Knights of the Round Table, Natanz Thorin, the head of the European region of the Stairway of Light, Andrew Bonner, the mastermind behind the Americas region of the Substitutes, and the soon-to-arrive Sinaloa boss, the short Guzman..."

Add to that a few assassins from the Stairway of Light, along with mercenaries and hackers, and honestly, sleeping here is more thrilling than sleeping at the gates of Hell.

As Daniel looked at Rosa's nonchalant expression, he smiled and said, "Buddy, I'm letting you try these cages to protect you. I heard Mountain Eagle make a phone call on the plane; Tiffany should be here in a few hours."

If she wants to beat you up, you can hide in the cage...

Upon hearing this, Rosa's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Tiffany is coming?"

Daniel nodded and laughed, saying, "Yes, Tiffany is coming. Your disgusting love letters will finally come to an end."

I bet Tiffany will punch you in the nose, considering you harassed her with disgusting emails during her busiest time.

Rosa stared at Daniel in disbelief, clutching her head and exclaiming, "How did you know?"

As Daniel playfully teased Rosa, Kate stepped between them and said in a low voice, "Stop fooling around. Guzman the Short will arrive in six hours to inspect all the personnel and facilities around here..."

The core objective of the Bangkok team was Guzman the Short, and now that he's been captured, we can't afford to make any mistakes..."

Daniel and Rosa exchanged a glance, then looked at Kate, who didn't seem particularly excited, and asked curiously, "Boss, you don't seem very happy, why?"

Kate took a deep breath and said, "Our most important target is Guzman the Short. Now that we've achieved our goal, the Bangkok Group's necessity is diminished."

Kate looked at the two who hadn't yet realized the problem, sighed, and said, "Once the Bangkok team is canceled, I'll likely be transferred to the State Department, and your previous authority will be revoked, and you'll be assigned an office."

"We offended many people in the past by using the name of the Bangkok Group..."

Upon hearing this, Daniel's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Shit, they're canceling the Bangkok team!"

Kate looked at Rosa, whose face was equally pale, and said with her hands outstretched, "The Angel of Death is the Bangkok team's last battle. After that, you can choose to go to an FBI office or come with me to work at the State Department."

"A big shot called me yesterday; they've arranged a position for me at the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador." Kate glanced at her watch and said, "We're just playing a supporting role in this mission, so you need to keep a low profile and be prepared to interrogate Guzman."

That guy had some financial ties with the Angels of Death. After we got what we wanted, we sent him to America to be imprisoned.

Rosa looked at Kate with a strange expression and asked curiously, "Why El Salvador? What's there?"

Kate glanced at the mountain eagle sitting not far away with its eyes closed, and said with a strange look in her eyes, "Because a new master will be coming to that place, and some big shots think that only someone like me who understands him can handle any changes that may happen at any time."

I know exactly what kind of person he is. If he wanted to do something, I couldn't handle it alone.

Upon hearing this, Daniel lowered his voice and said, "You mean, someone asked you to keep an eye on the mountain eagles?"
How can this be? "

Kate nodded slightly and said, "But that's the truth, and I believe Kobe received a similar message."

That guy wanted to surrender to the mountain eagle on the plane…

Kate's words completely wiped the smile off Daniel's face. He pulled his two companions to a corner and said, "I don't know what happened, but I suggest you don't mess with that guy."

We've all seen how that guy treats those Texas folks. I don't want to wake up one day to find a bunch of freaks standing next to me discussing which part of my body would be suitable for cooking.

Kate said expressionlessly, "You can choose to decline my invitation..."

Daniel nodded subconsciously. Just as he was about to refuse Kate, he suddenly realized something, looked into Kate's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, we don't have any choice at all, right?"

What will I face if I reject you?

Kate pursed her lips and said, "I don't know, but the result will definitely be terrible, because people who call me rarely accept being rejected."

I've met several people who rejected him...

First they were marginalized, then they were scapegoated, followed by unemployment and bankruptcy. By the time they realized what was happening and wanted to beg for forgiveness, it was too late!

Upon hearing this, Daniel clutched his head and said in a suppressed voice, "So you mean we have no choice at all? Fuck, I don't want to go against the Mountain Eagle. Have you ever considered just surrendering to him...?"

Daniel then leaned close to Kate with a furtive look and whispered, "You know what I mean!"

Kate took a step back expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "What do you think I'm doing right now?"
That guy has the best impression of you…

Daniel exchanged a glance with Rosa, then looked at the mountain eagle resting with its eyes closed not far away. He looked at Kate with the eyes of someone looking at dog poop and said, "Shit, you want me to be a 'traitor'..."

Rosa patted the excited Daniel on the shoulder and said, "Buddy, I've already had enough of being divorced, I don't want to lose my job too."

We've been through so much. El Salvador is a great place; I wouldn't mind retiring there!

As the three were whispering, Mountain Eagle, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and walked to the hangar door...

A convoy drove up from a distance and stopped at the hangar entrance...

Seeing the people get out of the car, Mountain Eagle went up and hugged them, then turned to Kate and the others and made a shooting gesture...

"My men are here. Surrender now, and I might treat you well!" (End of Chapter)
