Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Sinner’s Prayer

Everyone kept asking Mountain Eagle, "How did you do it?"

Mountain Eagle couldn’t clearly answer that question. He simply seized an opportunity, and through mediation found a balance point, smoothly securing the one-month use right for 20 million US Dollars.

He didn’t deceive anyone; he merely exploited Pulichenko’s weakness and forced him to concede with reasonable demands.

Compared to the favors earned by bargaining with Thai Police, this was the real hefty profit.

Mountain Eagle was in desperate need of money. His own plans, which seemed to leverage others’ forces, lacked a solid economic basis, making it difficult to secure sufficient investment.

Now, a good money-making opportunity was right in front of him. It just wouldn’t be him if he didn’t grab it.

The current situation for Mountain Eagle was almost like an open-book exam!

Because he was able to understand the Thai political coup’s insider details and schedule through Taigore.

If he still couldn’t make money out of this, Mountain Eagle might as well jump into the sea!

Previously, Mr. Poincaré only had the money from Blood Fox and Mi Lu, their entire fortunes, including half of the advance payment for the task from Great Russia, totaling less than 4 million US Dollars.

Now, this deal had suddenly inflated to 24 million US Dollars, which was sufficient for Mountain Eagle to earn enough to support the initial funding needed for his first-phase plan.

With a great mood, Mountain Eagle drove back to the hospital, found an ambulance and sent two unfortunate souls to the Pattaya airport...

At this time, Eddie had already rented a small plane, taking the two unfortunate souls and a nurse tending to Jon’s injuries onto the plane.

In Moscow’s airport...

Blood Fox sat in the lounge area, smiled as he hung up the phone, then said to Mi Lu next to him: "You definitely wouldn’t believe what Mountain Eagle has done in the past two days..."

Mi Lu took a sip from a silver flask and said, "That kid has a fierce beast living inside him; whatever he does wouldn’t surprise me."

Then Mi Lu looked at Snowden nearby, who seemed uneasy, shook his head and added, "Who could have thought, this guy who can’t even fight, actually dealt a heavy blow to the United States...

Our observations are almost done; isn’t it time to approach him?"

Blood Fox nodded, smiling, "Yes, it’s about time. We should let that fellow know that at least in the airport he is safe.

I’ve seen him cry three times today; hopefully, he can perform a bit better in the future.

Even if his performance is only 10% of Mountain Eagle’s, I’d feel our next task would be much easier."

Mi Lu shook his head after hearing this, "That might be tough, we should give him some good news, or this guy might break down in a few days."

Blood Fox nodded again and said, "I’ve contacted friends in Ecuador. The Ecuadorian ambassador will arrive in Moscow in a week. As long as Ecuador agrees to grant him political asylum, our task will become much simpler."

Mi Lu responded with a frown, "Are you planning to use Ecuador’s special plane to send Snowden off?

Do you think, after Aschi’s lesson, the United States would let Ecuador take Snowden?"

Blood Fox shook his head, "I don’t think so, and I don’t think Russia is keen to let Snowden leave...

What we need to do is create a situation, to give Russia an excuse to provide Snowden asylum.

Ecuador is just a start; the harder part is still to come. Too many countries and organizations want Snowden.

Only after handling them can we find an opportunity for Snowden to meet those people, which means our mission is completely accomplished."

Mi Lu listened, shaking his head in annoyance, "I hate these kinds of situations the most, once embedded, we can’t even be sure who is friend or foe...

I actually somewhat regret telling Mountain Eagle; he might not be able to handle the complex situation here because identifying friends and foes is tough enough!"

Mi Lu glanced at a man and a woman sitting diagonally opposite, disdainfully saying, "The people your ex-wife deployed don’t seem very capable. Today’s Alpha is completely different from the former Alpha...

Can we really get through this relying on their cooperation?"

Blood Fox had been somewhat pessimistic before, but now his mood suddenly improved...

Facing Mi Lu’s complaints, Blood Fox smiled saying, "We have to trust the younger generation, even if you don’t think much of them, you still have to believe in Erin’s judgment and abilities..."

Mi Lu chuckled and nodded, "True, dumping you indeed proved Erin’s judgment..."

As Mi Lu saw Snowden getting up to go to the restroom for the sixth time today, he irritably stood up, saying, "This guy seems like he wants to plant himself in the restroom. I’ll go give him some good news; that might keep him calmer..."

While Moscow was bustling, Mountain Eagle returned to the hospital once again...

Tessa, having received news from Taigore, found Mountain Eagle at the hospital as soon as he returned...

The two messed around in a ward for over an hour before returning to Tessa’s temporary office.

The monitoring equipment in the office was constantly sharing interview records of reporters with American soldiers, with several technicians steadfastly remaining on duty...

Seeing Tessa enter the office, the technicians exchanged glances and then pretended as if they saw nothing, focusing intensely on their work.

Actually, there was nothing special. It was about translating the conversations between the reporters and the soldiers into Thai, adding bilingual subtitles in Thai and English, and then uploading the edited version directly to the internet after editing.

Mountain Eagle looked towards the computer screen...

A middle-aged white reporter who was good at staging scenes put on a black suit, inserted a priest’s collar tie, and pretended to be a priest. He induced a severely injured awakening American officer to speak as if they were old friends...

The severely injured awakening officer, still confused, faced a priest standing before him, holding his hands in last rites prayer, and his first thought was that he was going to die.

It was the first time Mountain Eagle saw such a grown man cry so miserably. The officer, supposedly representing the strength of America, sobbed while calling for his mother and confessing his sins to the priest, filled with fear of possibly going to Hell.

Mountain Eagle had been to many countries and seen many unbelievable things, but this was indeed the first time he witnessed such a scenario.

It seemed that some people from old America were truly afraid of going to Hell, and they also genuinely believed that they could obtain redemption through the priest’s last rites prayer.

Watching that man, who was like a villain from a movie, faced with the benevolent priest’s prayer, he confessed all his evil deeds in detail and then begged for God’s forgiveness...

Mountain Eagle looked at Tessa, puzzled, and said, "Do you think this is reliable?"

Tessa decisively shook her head and said, "Sins cannot be erased, even if there’s no retribution in this life, it must be paid for in the next."

As she spoke, Tessa’s expression turned cold, saying, "But I can’t wait until their next life. Even if I can’t kill them, I want them to socially die, becoming hated by everyone like street rats."

Mountain Eagle appreciated Tessa’s sense of justice; he gave a thumbs up and said, "That’s how it should be done. However, this kind of non-technical work should be left to the technicians. You should be at a more important position...

Like going to the Pattaya Criminal Investigation Bureau, accepting the surrender from the Great Russian Mafia."

Tessa, slightly annoyed, said, "I know, Taigore told me already...

I just don’t understand, why do you always want to arrange my actions?

Am I a puppet?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback, promptly apologized, and then said somewhat helplessly, "Perhaps it’s not us wanting to arrange your actions, but because you are the person we all trust.

Some tasks can only be entrusted to you to give everyone peace of mind, to let the hard-won achievements not be lost in vain.

Tessa, being trusted sometimes is indeed a burden..."

Mountain Eagle changed his approach, instantly making Tessa’s mood brighten...

As he looked at Mountain Eagle with genuine sincerity, Tessa pressed on his chest and said, "Can you not go to Russia?

I need you with me; otherwise, I worry I’ll be unable to handle the complex situation and make mistakes that would embarrass my family."

At that moment, Mountain Eagle realized that Tessa understood her family’s situation well and knew her responsibilities.

But she also knew that her temperament sometimes led her to make mistakes.

Normally, it would not matter, but now, with a pending coup in Thailand, she felt the pressure.

She feared making mistakes...

Mountain Eagle, facing the suddenly different Tessa, shook his head with a resigned smile and said, "Then you should follow your family’s arrangement...

Of course, you don’t seem happy to be treated like a doll.

So I suggest you go to Kamui, to avoid the political whirlpool in Bangkok and Pattaya.

After appearing at the hospital, you’ve fulfilled the Pasok family’s demand, which was to declare your allegiance publicly.

If you’re worried about making mistakes next, you can focus on work...

In Kamui, you can do what you like and be completely free from external interference."

Mountain Eagle didn’t tell Tessa everything, which was that once she stepped out of the political whirlpool, she could easily establish herself in Kamui with the current prestigious standing of the Pasok family in the police force.

Ordinarily, no matter your status, you need to respect the local power figures in a new place.

But now it was different; the Pasok family’s collective daring move to take sides was frightening. Before the dust settled, any slightly wise local politician or bureaucrat wouldn’t put obstacles in her way at this time.

Mountain Eagle’s suggestion made Tessa pause, as she struggled with whether such a move would amount to ’desertion.’ Just then, a gunshot echoed inside the hospital...

Following that, footsteps sounded outside; Gru rushed in anxiously and said, "A United States Soldier has committed suicide..."
