Chapter 159: Replacer

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Replacer

Carlos looked into Mountain Eagle’s eyes, chuckled, and shook his head, saying, "There is no list, and even if there was, I wouldn’t give it to you.

I’m about to die, I have nothing to fear, but those cops... no way...

Some of them want to hold to their bottom line just like me.

We initially just wanted to use the Replacers to sanction those who deserved to die, then make a bit of money.

They aren’t all bad people, it’s just..."

Mountain Eagle didn’t want to hear Carlos’s explanation, he remarked with a trace of sentiment, "It’s just that things always change..."

Carlos, who had been quite relaxed until now, suddenly nodded gravely, saying, "Power, money, time can change a lot!

Actually, if I didn’t know I was going to die, I might not have been able to resist the temptation...

You know, the feeling of being able to easily decide others’ fate really is fantastic!

It’s like a drug, it becomes addictive!"

Mountain Eagle didn’t want to listen to Carlos’s pontifications; he shook his head and said, "For those who can’t control their own desires, power is poison.

No matter how you justify it, you attacked police convoys for money, causing many officers to be killed or injured.

You’re not as in control as you say you are; people like you who wield power will eventually be devoured by it, just like now..."

Carlos didn’t mind Mountain Eagle’s assessment; he nodded and said, "If you knew who that money was intended for, you would understand...

I had no choice, even if I didn’t give the order, someone else would."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, frowning as he asked, "Who?"

Carlos gave a laugh and shook his head, saying, "Every year it’s different people or organizations, but this year it’s for the ’Truth Foundation’.

You might think I take out a hundred million Thai Baht every year to bribe Thai high officials...

But actually, that money is handed over to some international organizations following Luo Han’s instructions, and these organizations help him expand the Replacers’ turf across the globe."

"Truth Foundation?"

Mountain Eagle paused briefly, saying subconsciously, "British Military Intelligence, that Luo Han is actually paying protection money to British Military Intelligence..."

This time it was Carlos who paused, and after being silent for a while, said, "You actually know the background of the Truth Foundation..."

Mountain Eagle couldn’t possibly tell Carlos that the day he was fished out of the river, he had clashed with a team from the Truth Foundation, sparks flying.

Later on, Blood Fox squeezed out all the information from one of the foundation’s operatives and handed the confession over to the Thai opposition.

Looking at the somewhat surprised Carlos, Mountain Eagle said, "For such a giant, a hundred million Thai Baht a year in protection money is indeed nothing, but what I find more curious is, are there no other places bringing in money?"

Carlos shook his head and said, "There’s money being made elsewhere, too, but the Replacers, who have been entrenched in Southeast Asia, are also heavily consuming resources as they expand globally.

The Replacers need a lot of time at each new location to understand the local people before they can cultivate qualified assassins, and their arrival essentially means competing for market share with others...

This is exactly why Luo Han needs to pay protection money to seek assistance!"

Mountain Eagle sighed with a sense of wonder after hearing this...

Before, in his eyes, the Replacer Organization was nothing more than a bunch of bastards profiting off the anger of slum youths.

But now, it’s a bit different as the expansion of the Replacers is laced with a heavy political flavor, since it’s carried out relying on the slums.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that exerting influence over the slums can somewhat control the public order of a city.

Moreover, the boss of the Replacers is Rohingya, and he also has religious backing, as life for those MSL immigrants in Europe isn’t good at all.

This Luo Han’s ambition is incredibly vast!

Mountain Eagle looked at Carlos, curiously saying, "So the conflict between you and Luo Han is essentially about him needing more money, and you not wanting to expand the business.

But you compromised in the end..."

Carlos nodded and said, "Luo Han brought a lot of business to the Thailand Replacers.

In the past year or so, Thailand Replacers have served many NGOs and foreign enterprises, I couldn’t refuse."

Mountain Eagle pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "This guy sounds impressive, what does he look like? I’d like to avoid him if I ever encounter him."

Carlos heard this, laughed, and shook his head, saying, "I don’t know, I only have a phone number...

I think it’s best you don’t know too much about him, there’s no need, and it’s very dangerous!"

Listening to Carlos advising him like a teacher, Mountain Eagle suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, then smiled, raised his gun, and aimed at Carlos’s head, saying, "Six men have appeared downstairs, they look like cops...

You’ve been talking all this time, just stalling..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle watched Carlos’s pupils dilate slightly, and he said with some admiration, "I almost believed you..."

Carlos revealed a slight smile, saying, "Because what I’ve said is all true...

There’s only one exit to the apartment, you can’t escape!

Now if you put down the gun, I can persuade them to let you go...

You’re very skilled and very clever, perhaps we could work together."

Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "Your cancer was fake, right?"

Carlos shook his head slightly and replied, "It’s real. It’s just that I got rich, and my disease was discovered very early, so it’s cured now.

And then I found out... money and power are indeed good things..."

As Carlos said this, he looked at Mountain Eagle and continued, "Apart from my disease, everything else I told you is the truth.

You can’t run away now, but there’s still time to put down your gun..."

"Run?"

Mountain Eagle pulled the trigger and shot through Carlos’ head...

Looking at the guy with incredulity in his eyes, his head tilted to one side...

Mountain Eagle glanced at the old cat lying motionless on Carlos’ leg and suddenly felt something was off; the cat’s demeanor was too stable.

Frowning, he nudged the ’heartless and disloyal’ old cat, then saw a white rope loop around the cat’s neck as it lazily rolled over, with one end attached to a small white ball.

The white ball was hidden in the cat’s fur, really hard to spot without close attention.

Mountain Eagle snatched the white ball, examined it under the light, and found to his surprise that it contained a storage card...

He slipped the small ball into his pocket, glanced at Carlos who seemed unwilling to die, walked to the door, and set a shock bomb as a trick mine on it before taking out an AK-105 and entering a room directly opposite the main door...

Escaping was easy for Mountain Eagle, but if he ran, those people coming up would definitely take the money.

If they took the money, there would be no way to prove Carlos was the boss of the Thailand Replacer Organization.

Mountain Eagle had gone to great lengths to get the money here; if he just killed Carlos, that would be too little gain.

Mountain Eagle waited about 3 minutes in the room until someone pushed open Carlos’ front door...

The moment the door swung open, the shock bomb above it fell, bounced a few times on the floor, and rolled outside...

Six policemen in uniform, holding pistols, were momentarily stunned...

"Boom!"

The loud noise accompanied by a flash swept through the corridor...

Mountain Eagle took advantage of the six dazed policemen, turned around from the room, raised his gun, and stormed out.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

There was no space to dodge in the narrow corridor; the bullets from the AK-105 sprayed on the policemen, instantly bringing them down.

From the explosion of the shock bomb to their takedown, it was a matter of about three seconds.

Mountain Eagle heard the commotion inside the apartment and tucked away his AK-105 as he rushed out of the room...

Before the residents on the 8th floor could open their doors to check, he burst into the next door, room 806, grabbed an Uzi submachine gun, sprayed bullets over the bodies of several policemen, then threw the emptied gun into room 806.

Then Mountain Eagle took out a rope, tied one end to the inside door handle of 806, closed the door with a force that broke the hallway glass, and threw the rope down.

Before the residents at the other end of the 8th floor could open their doors to check, Mountain Eagle rappelled down to the ground using the rope, then quickly edged past the crowd in the stairwell’s shadows, swiftly leaving the apartment complex.

After leaving the street where the apartment was located, Mountain Eagle ordered something at a food stall, watching loads of police heading towards the apartment...

While everyone else was curious, Mountain Eagle leisurely finished a plate of fried noodles, then casually bought an iced Coke from the nearby 7-11 like a tourist, and before traffic was completely blocked, he caught a tuk-tuk...

In the meantime, Mountain Eagle made several transfers, finally catching the airport express, and arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport before half-past eleven.

After passing the security checkpoint, Mountain Eagle found the boarding gate and had just sat down to rest when his phone rang...

Seeing the name on the phone, Mountain Eagle answered with a smile, "Hey, Tessa, shouldn’t you be resting at this time?"

Tessa was too excited to think of rest. She shrieked, "Mountain, the stolen money and hard drive showed up in Bangkok...

Was it you? Was it you?

Who exactly died?"

Mountain Eagle moved the phone a bit further away and said with a smile, "Not me. But since the money and hard drive appeared, it’s very likely that the person who died was the boss of the Thailand Replacer Organization.

These people attacked police for money, so dying for it seems reasonable, don’t you think?"

Mountain Eagle tactfully told Tessa the ’truth’ in a subtle manner, but to the enthusiastic girl, she heard a completely different version...

In Tessa’s heart, Mountain Eagle was chasing down the Replacer Organization in rage over the last ambush, avenging their home.

She believed Mountain Eagle did it all for her!

An excited Tessa kissed her phone forcefully and then shouted loudly, "Mountain, I think I’ve fallen in love with you..."

Mountain Eagle was taken aback and then noticed a gossipy woman next to him looking at him curiously...

Chuckling, he said, "You’re too excited; go get some rest..."

After hanging up the phone, and seeing the gossiping woman looking at him as if he were a pile of dog crap, he spread his hands and asked, "What?"

The gossipy woman rolled her eyes, muttering a curse loud enough for everyone nearby to hear...

"Scumbag..."
