Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 145: Double Standards

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Double Standards

Mountain Eagle spoke very loudly, silencing the hospital corridor in an instant. A few of Kobe’s colleagues exchanged looks nearby, while some soldiers from the 191 Brigade guarding the area gave Kobe weird looks...

"Dealing with the Devil" and "homosexuality" are both taboos in Catholicism, and with Mountain Eagle’s relentless defamation, Kobe was infuriated...

Kobe looked at Mountain Eagle’s frivolous demeanor and said through gritted teeth, "You’re talking nonsense...

Defaming a senior American agent is a serious crime, I will file a complaint with the Thai Police."

Mountain Eagle shook off Kobe’s hand and took out a tissue to wipe it, saying, "I’m not talking nonsense, this was all ’exposed’ by an ’insider’, I’m simply telling you the truth.

If it’s nothing to do with you, why get angry?"

By now, Kobe realized who his real opponent was and stared coldly at Mountain Eagle, "Can I know who this so-called ’insider’ is?"

Mountain Eagle chuckled and replied, "So can I know who your so-called ’insider’ is?

Buddy, don’t be a hypocrite...

Just because I can’t say, doesn’t mean you can’t guess...

If I were you, I’d consider the people around me, after all, secrets about selling one’s ass aren’t known to just anyone, right?"

"FUCK YOU..."

Kobe, completely infuriated, pushed Mountain Eagle powerfully and was just about to raise his fist when his colleagues from behind rushed to stop him...

A blonde female agent grabbed Kobe’s arm, continuously soothing, "Kobe, Kobe, don’t be impulsive, he’s just trying to provoke you, we have more important matters to attend to..."

Mountain Eagle watched the female agent and Kobe’s ambiguous behavior and sneered, "Is this the quality of the United States Navy Criminal Investigative Service?

Please, give me your complaint email. I need to write a serious complaint letter and also remind those office higher-ups that aside from watching Mr. Andrews’s ass, they should also pay attention to office romance...

Shit, perhaps the negative feelings locals have towards all overseas US bases are because the crime investigators, those idiots and fools who climbed up through messing around..."

Hearing this, the blonde female agent released her grip as if electrocuted, then glared at Mountain Eagle, "You just agreed to let us participate in the assassination investigation...

We demand to question all police present at the scene, and we also insist on interrogating the two black police caught on site!

Once we catch the assassin, we’ll have the answers.

But before that, we request additional manpower to protectively monitor those soldiers, and no one apart from us may converse with them."

Mountain Eagle, uninterested, waved his hand, "Your office is right there...

There’s no problem with increasing manpower, but they can only be placed on the first floor, as the Thai Police are responsible for security upstairs.

We won’t allow anyone we don’t trust to threaten the safety of those soldiers..."

The female agent, frowning, pointed at Mountain Eagle, who took charge without permission, and told Tessa, "I thought you were in charge here..."

Tessa, hooking one arm into Mountain Eagle’s and pointing at Kobe with the other, looked at the female agent with a sarcastic expression, "I thought he was your leader..."

Then, Tessa turned to Gru, "Issue them temporary passes. Those poor soldiers don’t trust them, so have them store their weapons at a designated location and only allow them to retrieve them when leaving the fifth floor.

I’m tired, I need to find a place to sleep..."

After finishing, Tessa walked to the elevator, pulling Mountain Eagle along while mocking, "Actually, office romance is not that bad, it’s the sneaky ones that are shameful.

Because office romance in high-risk professions can pose dangers to unknowing colleagues."

When entering the elevator, Tessa glanced at the blonde female agent, whose face was livid with anger, and provocatively pulled Mountain Eagle into the elevator with an extremely intimate gesture...

As the elevator doors closed, Tessa pinched Mountain Eagle’s arm and said angrily, "Why did you agree to let them investigate the police in the hospital?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback, curiously touched Tessa’s head, and said, "Are you dumb?

Those police were dragging your feet, why would you keep them?

If those black police dare to do this, it’s not just for the money, someone must have made them promises to compel them to do such incredible stuff at this crucial junction.

I may not be right, but one thing is certain, these black police definitely aren’t on the same side as you.

If we could use America’s hand to sweep away these black police and the people above them in one line, it’s not only beneficial for you but also a huge blow to the prestige of the British Government...

What do you think those on the British side will think when they see this?

A boss who can’t even protect his own people isn’t worth following..."

Hearing this, Tessa’s expression became complicated, "But they might not be..."

"They could be!"

Mountain Eagle knew what Tessa was about to say, which was nothing more than her understanding of the Pattaya police possibly being simply about taking money to do the job, unrelated to any high-level strife.

Watching Tessa unable to break free from her police mentality, Mountain Eagle nodded appreciatively and said, "Tessa, you’d definitely make a good cop!

Instead of pondering over these matters that you don’t understand or even agree with, why not do something you’re good at...

For example, you can go to sleep first, then leave the hospital tomorrow, and leave this place to those more adept at dealing with the situation.

Trust me, with those agents here, those soldiers definitely won’t continue leaking stories to the media. For the foreseeable future, this won’t be the focus of the struggle."

Curious, Tessa asked, "What do you think the focus will be for the foreseeable future?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "Tessa, you always mistake your adversary; your opponent is not the Americans but your Prime Minister Yingla.

To make the United States compromise, you shouldn’t confront them directly because they simply don’t care about you. You should be integrating power, using human trafficking and the Bahrain rescue issue to pressure the British Government, forcing them to pressure the United States to continue the investigation.

Believe me, in any democratic election country, a Prime Minister cannot withstand such demands."

Watching Tessa fall into thought, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "You asked what the focus will be for the foreseeable future, let me tell you...

Your mother will send someone adept at handling the media. He’ll continuously fabricate facts to incite the media and the opposition to pressure the British Government.

It will force this pro-UK and US Prime Minister to pick sides, to become discredited, to focus her attention on the human trafficking case...

That way, by the time the fatal blow is struck, she would have no chance to take actions that hurt Thailand, ensuring a smooth government transition.

Tessa, that’s the key point!

Everything revolves around the coup. Any matter that doesn’t serve the coup must be set aside.

I know you must be unhappy right now, but have you ever thought that if things hadn’t come to a head at this juncture, and you had stumbled upon this case at any other time, you wouldn’t have been able to achieve what you have now.

At any other time, you simply wouldn’t have had enough support, and perhaps just a phone call from the American ambassador would have forced you to send those soldiers to a location of their choice."

After listening, Tessa squeezed herself into Mountain Eagle’s embrace, her mood somewhat down as she said, "I don’t like this feeling, as if justice doesn’t exist at all..."

Mountain Eagle patted Tessa’s back to comfort her, "Justice does exist, it just needs someone to bring it about!

And to bring about justice, while being cautious not to harm the innocent...

Those who execute justice need to consider more things, sometimes even making certain compromises with reality, to ensure the greater part of justice is achieved...

Apart from death, there is no absolute fairness, no perfect completeness, and no absolute justice in this world!"

Looking at Tessa’s slightly moved expression, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "If you really feel you can’t cope, let’s find a way to get a surface-to-air missile...

Those soldiers will definitely be transported back by plane, when they take off, we can shoot them down."

After listening, Tessa glared at Mountain Eagle for his wild ideas and said, "If we did that, my father would be in trouble."

As she spoke, Tessa seemed to suddenly remember something. She grabbed Mountain Eagle’s collar and said fiercely, "Why is it that in all you just said, there’s no mention of you?

Are you planning to leave me behind?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback for a moment and said helplessly, "I have to leave for a while, my friend has run into trouble in Russia...

It may be half a month, or a month..."

As he said that, Mountain Eagle shook his head to stop Tessa from speaking further, and seriously added, "Staying here now won’t make much of a difference, and with my history with MI6 and the CIA right there...

They’re tracking a terrorist in Southeast Asia, and Kamui will be their focus.

Staying in Thailand might just cause trouble...

Tessa, you wouldn’t want me to get into trouble, right?"

Tessa took Mountain Eagle out of the elevator, and with an incontrovertible tone said, "Even if you’re going, not tonight. I have an apartment nearby..."

Mountain Eagle wasn’t in a hurry to leave that night anyway; he knew how much pressure this girl was under recently, but he did have some reservations about her way of venting it...

Until Tessa dragged him into a police car, Mountain Eagle, touching his still aching ribs, said somewhat helplessly, "How about we find a place to do some spa and rest for a while..."

Tessa glanced sideways at Mountain Eagle and said, "I know a store that sells essential oils, we could go back and try it out..."

As she spoke, Tessa started the car and drove out of the hospital...

After about 15 minutes, just as they were about to enter an apartment parking lot, several gunshots came from a northern area of the building...

Mountain Eagle lurched forward as Tessa abruptly braked, and looking at Tessa who also turned to face him, he shook his head, "I think we should leave this to the local Pattaya police..."

After hearing this, Tessa shook her head, "The Assassin who escaped today was clearly betrayed...

The situation in Pattaya has been tense these days, ordinary people wouldn’t go looking for trouble..."

Listening to this, Mountain Eagle sighed, "You’re implying you’re no ordinary person, aren’t you..."
