Chapter 214: Chapter 214 The Atmosphere Heats Up

Victoria cursed and hung up the phone...

Beside her, Odin, as someone deeply involved, was unaware of the complex changes in the outside world, but he was clear about the situation around the factory...

He looked at Victoria, somewhat puzzled, and said, "What exactly happened? Mountain Eagle has caused a lot of chaos around here, but is it really worth your anger?"

After listening, Victoria took several deep breaths and then, with a bit of sympathy, looked at Odin and said, "Odin, you will never beat Blood Fox, and your apprentice stands even less of a chance..."

While saying that, Victoria looked at the message illuminated on her phone, her mood somewhat downcast, "That kid is a Demon!

You think he’s just killing people, but in actuality, during these past ten plus hours of combat, he’s propelled himself into a core position.

And it’s a core position that no one can circumvent!

Most of us don’t even understand how this happened!"

A sharp light flickered in Odin’s one eye, and he said with discontent, "Doesn’t the battle prowess of Gray Wolf before this explain anything?

In terms of head-on combat ability, Gray Wolf and his team are definitely superior!"

Victoria was amused by Odin’s stubbornness, shaking her head as she said, "Mountain Eagle and his four subordinates only coordinated for less than 14 hours...

How long have your wolves worked together, and how much time, energy, and money have you spent on them?

What if I told you that Mountain Eagle’s subordinates are the Butchers from Warrior Squadron who you once rejected, would you still be so certain?

Those middle-aged, retired soldiers who you considered trash and weren’t willing to pay even 500 US dollars a month, under Mountain Eagle’s command, are performing like Black Devils from an era of Alphas!

And your men?"

As she spoke, Victoria picked up her phone which lit up again, and with a bitter smile, said, "Now someone is willing to pay 150,000 US dollars just for Mountain Eagle’s phone number...

I fucking think this world has gone mad, if that kid were in front of me, I would strangle him with my own hands.

But I still want to make that money!"

Odin frowned and looked at Victoria, saying in a deep voice, "Are you going to sell the kid out?

I don’t like him, but I won’t let you do that; his only opponent should be Gray Wolf!"

Victoria was again amused by Odin, holding up her phone and said, "You actually think I’m selling him out?

Odin, you and your pups had better stay away from Mountain Eagle, or else you fools will sooner or later get sold out by him!"

Odin was stunned by the rebuttal, frowning and saying with a deep voice, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about..."

.........

"I’m saying, that bastard has played us all, ah..."

In the luxurious suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, Anna let out a scream and then threw her phone hard.

The fourth-generation iPhone hit the wall with a ’bang’, startling the two suit-clad bodyguards nearby.

Anna, clutching her hair, paced back and forth in the living room as if venting, until she calmed down a bit, then she looked at a young man with a briefcase on his lap and said sternly, "Tell the boss, it’s no use negotiating with Americans...

Even if we were to negotiate, we need to do it after we have Snowden in our grasp!"

The young man, frowning, said, "The Americans have offered the boss very generous terms...

Where exactly is Snowden?"

Anna reached out and swept the cup from the coffee table to the floor, shouting loudly, "I fucking don’t know, now get out, I want to sleep, do you want to join me in bed?"

After that, Anna turned and walked into the room, then shut the door forcefully, took out a new phone, and called her mother...

"Why has it come to this? What the hell does that bastard want to do?"

......

"Of course, it’s to ensure Mr. Snowden’s safety!"

The first phone call Mountain Eagle received was from a middleman who called himself ’Heiger’...

He sat below a tombstone, looking at the starry sky above, and said with an airy tone, "I’ve taken the money, so I must ensure Mr. Snowden’s safety. Everyone and everything must step aside for this reason."

’Heiger’, with a thick Northern European accent in his English, said, "Sir, you only have a chance to protect his safety when Mr. Snowden is with you. Is he with you now?"

Mountain Eagle could detect the implication behind this question...

It was a probe, trying to get the answer he wanted without spending anything.

But Mountain Eagle didn’t care, he said gravely, "He’s not here now, but I will meet him soon.

As I said, I’ve taken the money, so I will spare no effort to ensure his safety.

I don’t know how you got my phone number, but I think there’s nothing worth talking about now."

Saying that, Mountain Eagle hung up the phone, not giving Heiger a chance to continue the conversation.

He was waiting, waiting for more people to contact him, then, in segments, he would ’accidentally’ let slip the ’truth’ to them...

None of those on the periphery dared to act rashly; they needed an opportunity too...

Mountain Eagle did not just sit and wait; he stood up, greeted Butcher and the others, then quickly moved alongside the small river on the east side of the cemetery, heading south for about 800 meters or so, before veering towards the road.

The All-Seeing Map that Crow had provided let him effortlessly avoid a group of enemies and reach a midpoint along the second section of the road.

After hiding in a concealed spot, Mountain Eagle took out two Defensive Hand Grenades and summoned Crow again...

A few minutes later, the two grenades exploded in the bushes across the road, and a dozen fully-armed gunmen leapt out of their hiding spots, starting a somewhat blind counterattack...

Mountain Eagle lay in a recess in the ground, looking through the scope of his VSS, he locked onto an enemy and decisively pulled the trigger...

"Thud thud"

Two bullets precisely sliced through the bushes, hitting a man clad in a Ghillie Suit...

Following that, Mountain Eagle didn’t wait for his enemy’s reaction. He swiftly turned and crawled a distance of about ten meters, setting up his VSS on the base of a gravestone and pulled the trigger towards the team he had just passed by...

"Da da"

The sound of counter gunfire from the bushes masked the noise of the VSS’s shots.

A gunman taking cover behind a tombstone was hit in the shoulder socket; the bullet pierced muscle and buried deep into the body, causing the shooter to roll over in pain a few times before falling silent...

Mountain Eagle’s move was like stirring a hornet’s nest; the people hidden in the graveyard started blind suppression fire and began shifting their positions.

Their suppression direction combined with their movement made them a target for the people in the bushes, roughly 600 meters away.

In the war of ordinary soldiers, it’s not always possible to resolve problems with high-pressure tactics at close range like Mountain Eagle does...

Shooting at each other over a kilometer in the hope of blindly hitting the enemy is the norm!

The more elite ones would maneuver during combat, expanding the space to exert more pressure with crossfire and increase the probability of hitting the target.

Whether they were elite or not, Mountain Eagle could not judge at the moment, but they were certainly under the influence of rear command, not wanting to fall prematurely into the unfavorable situation of a melee...

So, while the exchange of fire was intense, after several minutes of shooting back and forth, neither side could lay a finger on each other, aside from those hit by Mountain Eagle.

Just as both sides realized the distance was too far and no significant damage was caused, preparing to reposition and continue lying in wait...

"Boom," a Hand Grenade exploded once again in the bushes...

The infuriated team in the bushes sprung into action, the squad of nearly thirty people began to split up...

A ten-man squad stayed in place for suppressive fire, while the other twenty divided into two groups, spreading out to the north and south, and then they began their offensive towards the graveyard...

The team in the direction of the graveyard was short-handed, but they had Mountain Eagle’s help...

’Boom’, another Hand Grenate exploded near the southern highway...

Not only did the explosion injure a gunman, but it also indicated the enemy’s direction to the graveyard team, which was in a dilemma about what to do.

When someone is aiming for your life, running away is a good choice, but for a modern team using ranged weaponry, retreat without suppressing the enemy is a death wish.

Burning with anger from being bombed, they wanted to tough it out with a direct counterattack before making a tactical shift...

Both sides were fiercely engaged when Mountain Eagle, sticking close to the ground, quickly left the line of fire and ran through the shadows of the gravestones to safety...

A few minutes later, a rearguard convoy was hit by two Hand Grenades...

It’s unclear whether Mountain Eagle was just lucky, or the others were unlucky.

Two less powerful Hand Grenades caused a car’s fuel tank to leak and then catch fire.

The flames lit up the area, fully exposing the convoy.

Of course, with their numbers and firepower, they weren’t exactly trying to hide...

But when two Hand Grenades landed and caused damage, the people in the convoy collectively dismounted and took on defensive positions. Then a Burning Stick landed in their midst, its intense light illuminating the surroundings...

A gunman with an AK ran to pick up the Burning Stick and throw it away, but the moment he dashed out from behind the vehicle, a bullet struck his thigh and he collapsed to the ground in agony with a blood-curdling scream...

"Sniper..."

Someone let out a shriek, and then took the lead in pulling the trigger...

The gunmen with evident gang backgrounds began to shoot wildly in what they perceived to be the direction of danger.

At the same moment, Mountain Eagle employed Crow, throwing Hand Grenades in two other directions, blasting both groups out of their positions...

They did not engage with the gunmen from the convoy, which clearly had more manpower, but each chose to retreat...

Mountain Eagle didn’t expect to have everyone killing each other; he just wanted the atmosphere to become agitated. Once the situation at the front was relayed to the rear, he could achieve what he wanted...

A few minutes later, when Mountain Eagle found a hidden spot to conceal himself, the United States Soldier’s radio he had taken suddenly crackled to life...

"Mountain Eagle, are you there?"

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, he evened out his breathing, and used Crow to check on the United States team that had retreated to an old neighborhood 4 kilometers to the west. He then deliberately lowered his voice and said sternly, "You looking for me?

You only have 7 men left, why not just behave?"

Major Kane standing on a desolate road felt an icy chill down his spine. He turned his head towards the dark bushes, then ran wildly towards an abandoned cabin while signaling to his companions to find cover...

Once he found shelter under the porch of the cabin, clutching the radio, he said in a deep voice, "Let’s talk..."

Mountain Eagle replied with a smirk, "What makes you think you can negotiate with me?"

Major Kane, holding up his night vision goggles, scanned the bushes quickly while saying, "It’s not me who wants to talk to you, it’s someone else..."

Mountain Eagle chuckled, "I have nothing to discuss with you Americans..."

Major Kane glanced at the positions of his men and then said firmly, "We want our comrade’s bodies back. It doesn’t conflict with your mission...

You can name your terms!"

Mountain Eagle: "Oh..."
