Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Great White Shark
Mountain Eagle took a deep drag of his cigarette, then tossed away the remaining stub and exhaled a cloud of smoke before saying, "I’m thinking about how to get all of you out safely after we achieve our goal."
Mi Lu took a sip of vodka, glanced sideways at the large bag of weapons in the van, and smiled, "When your enemy is stronger than you, all the thinking in the world doesn’t help.
Only when you demonstrate a capability that forces them to take you seriously does your thinking become valuable."
Saying this, Mi Lu patted Mountain Eagle on the back with a bit of emotion, and said earnestly, "Blood Fox has been talking about you every day recently; it’s almost annoying.
I’m a mercenary, I don’t understand these political issues, I only know that if you want others to listen to you, the best way is not to think, but to make them afraid!"
Mountain Eagle paused, then with a hint of helplessness, said, "I’m thinking about how to use the minimal slaughter to create the maximum effect, to make the opponent take us seriously.
We’re too short on manpower, so we can’t afford to fight blindly; we must maximize the gains from each battle to avoid the vicious cycle of having to continuously fight to prove ourselves.
Like Arctic Fox, they’re the best already, but to the big players, they’re just a small mercenary group.
They have to constantly prove their worth through endless battles, and every failure degrades them.
Winning is the only option – it’s a vicious cycle and a trap.
Once we fall into this trap, we’re just tools in the eyes of those big players.
Would you negotiate with a tool?"
Mi Lu frowned upon hearing this and said, "When you point a gun at an opponent’s head, they’d negotiate even with a tool.
Mercenaries are like that, if you lose, you should be dead.
It’s an occupation where you can only win, not lose!"
Mountain Eagle shook his head noncommittally and said, "That’s exactly what those big players want!
They want all mercenaries to objectify themselves into pawns that can only move forward and never back, eventually turning themselves into tools.
Using money and human nature, they lure mercenaries into adopting a so-called set of rules, but in reality, you might not have thought that your existence actually serves the employer, or rather, serves money.
My old friend, money is printed!
And to the real wealthy, money is just numbers, even to some in power, it’s merely insignificant numbers."
Mi Lu thought for a long time, frowning, then shook his head and said, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about.
A mercenary is a mercenary because some people are born crazy, and more do this job because they can’t find any other work that allows their family to live a dignified life.
The employer pays, and you give your life; it’s only natural!
If you’re famous, you can ask a high price; if you’re a newbie, you have to endure exploitation.
If you want to be in this line, you just have to accept these..."
Mountain Eagle was amused by Mi Lu’s view; he didn’t want to argue...
People of this age won’t accept change, not merely because they are obstinate, but because accepting new thoughts forces them to reevaluate their past career, surely filled with many mistakes and regrets.
He’s trapped in a profession for a lifetime, thinking he’s done something incredible, and in the end, he’s even willing to risk his own life to extend the value of his life.
Seeing Mountain Eagle silent, Mi Lu sighed and said, "Well, I can’t figure out what young people are thinking.
But I can recommend a target to you, capturing this target could save you a lot of trouble."
Mountain Eagle’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "Who?"
Mi Lu pulled out his phone, brought up a photo, and handed it to Mountain Eagle with a grave voice, "’Great White Shark,’ a very famous assassin middleman from Eastern Europe.
Not only have mercenaries come to Moscow, but there are also many assassins, and about half of these assassins’ funds are channeled through ’Great White Shark.’
Capturing Great White Shark could solve about 30% of our problems!"
Looking at the photo of the slim, petite woman, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Is this another task from Blood Fox?
We can’t threaten the assassin’s employer, so we go after the middleman? Is this appropriate?"
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle lifted his phone to take a closer look...
The woman in the photo couldn’t be more than 35 years old, short-haired, with plain facial features barely considered pretty, quite a distance from beautiful.
The only thing remarkable about her was her smile, which at first glance could make one think of meadows, sunlight, and vibrant life...
Mountain Eagle disliked this kind of target – dealing with gangs and mercenaries is one thing, but targeting such a woman is completely another, hence he shook his head and said, "Why does this woman have a fierce nickname like ’Great White Shark’?
She looks more like a florist or a musician.
Are you sure you’ve got this right?"
Hearing this, Mi Lu burst out laughing and said, "You think we want you to kill her?"
Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Mi Lu, smiling, replied, "Great White Shark came from a small White Russian gang; her father died in a gang vendetta, so she took over her father’s gang and then became a middleman.
Everyone called her ’Great White Shark’ because she can always smell blood, no matter how far, she’ll rush over for a bite.
She was only 19 ten years ago, and she started by helping people seek revenge in prison.
Specifically, helping the families of murder victims to eliminate prisoners not sentenced to death."
"Later in her career, she met many people in the prisons of White Russia and Russia and eventually transitioned into becoming an assassin middleman."
Mountain Eagle furrowed his brows as he looked at Mi Lu, who detailed the explanation and curiously asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
Mi Lu stroked his chin and said, "You are Blood Fox’s apprentice, and she’s somewhat of your mentor.
Because her grandfather was one of the earliest members of Arctic Fox!"
Mi Lu’s words made Mountain Eagle laugh...
"Are you guys out of your minds?
She can easily call upon dozens of assassins to work for her; with her current status, she obviously doesn’t need your help..."
Mi Lu shook his head and said, "She does!
Now she is imprisoned in a villa in the eastern suburb of Moscow, and it’s her brother holding her captive, who also mobilized the assassins to Moscow through Great White Shark’s channels.
If we get her out, the number of people in Moscow who want Snowden dead will reduce by about half."
With a somewhat regretful expression, Mi Lu shook his head and continued, "Blood Fox and I have both met this kid; she’s very smart, so she definitely would not get involved in Snowden’s affair.
When someone told us that Great White Shark had deployed a large number of assassins to Moscow, we knew something was wrong, so we asked some friends to investigate...
Her brother Mario is greedy, but Great White Shark has many loyal followers, so it was easy to find the crux of the problem."
Mountain Eagle, frowning, said, "Is this Mario stupid? If he wants to usurp power, why didn’t he just kill Great White Shark outright?"
Mi Lu spread his hands and said, "Due to technical issues, without Great White Shark, Mario would have difficulty controlling the complex financial networks.
But as time passes, that may no longer be the case, so you need to be quick!"
After a few minutes of thought, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "From what you’re saying, she indeed sounds very important..."
After finishing speaking, Mountain Eagle left Mi Lu at the door of the van and went straight into the restaurant to have a hearty dinner with Butcher and the others...
............
Watching Mountain Eagles’ departing figure, Mi Lu picked up his phone and dialed Blood Fox’s number...
"We might have been too pushy, Mountain Eagle looks a bit upset..."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Blood Fox said, "We always interrupt his rhythm, it’s normal for him to be upset.
It’s a good sign that he sees things clearly..."
Mi Lu said solemnly, "I don’t think it’s a good thing; you promised to give him full autonomy, but you still want to guide his targets.
Blood Fox, if it were me, I would be annoyed too!
Even if we need to rescue ’Great White Shark’, we could approach ’Silver Fox’; Arctic Fox not coming to Moscow doesn’t mean they can’t act against the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it doesn’t mean they can’t do anything."
Blood Fox laughed, "What do you think Mountain Eagle is still lacking?"
Frowning and speaking earnestly, Mi Lu said, "You’ve also seen the video from today’s two battles; what do you think he lacks?
This kid is the top gunman I’ve ever seen. The offensive power his team demonstrated is something I haven’t seen in recent years.
During the prime of Arctic Fox, only a slightly stronger force could match his current team.
And to think he just met those brave youngsters a few hours ago..."
Patiently, Blood Fox said, "What that kid lacks isn’t combat skills or intelligence, but experience in dealing with the Underworld’s challenges and, most importantly, connections...
I originally thought he would get along well with Anna, but who could have expected that Anna would make their relationship so stiff?
’Great White Shark’ is the best alternative!
Mi Lu, the issue with Snowden seems complex, but for us, it’s simply a big adventure.
I was opposed to involving Mountain Eagle in this game from the start because I knew we could never truly dominate the situation.
But now, with such a complex situation, many hidden players and factors will emerge.
Mountain Eagle then has the opportunity to deeply understand the operations of the Underworld while forming his own network.
Like Selena and Sergei, who are his achievements, so will be Great White Shark.
Buddy, we are getting old, our networks are aging; Mountain Eagle needs to find people who think like him to build his own network.
Even when we are gone one day, Mountain Eagle should not be led around by our ’old friends’...
Human nature is complex, and not everyone is benign; if we can’t see it while alive, we can’t expect Mountain Eagle to easily discern it after we are gone.
He must have his own network of connections and information!
He must have!"
............
Mountain Eagle, who was dining, took off his earphones and turned off the Golden Cicada...
Looking at the lonely Mi Lu standing by the van, Mountain Eagle, feeling a bit conflicted, shook his head...
Then, looking at Butcher and the others who had almost finished eating, Mountain Eagle stood up with a smile and said, "Now that everyone’s full, let’s get moving...
We still have many tough battles ahead!"
