Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 219: Widespread Fame

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Widespread Fame

Mountain Eagle successfully collected the $50,000 left by Mori and then immediately plunged into the coniferous forest, taking the water route towards the northern Kopitovo District.

After his departure, the fierce battle near the factory concluded in an extremely brutal manner.

Red Fox Mercenary Corps Group took advantage of the evacuating vehicles from the factory, pulling many organization members near there, and the fierce battle lasted for about an hour...

Just when some people realized that something was wrong and wanted to flee, special forces of the Security Department suddenly appeared. Nearly 200 special forces, coordinated with helicopters, launched a devastating strike on all teams present, except for Red Fox.

These Russian special forces were ruthlessly aggressive; they seemed to have no intention of taking prisoners...

First, they let the machine guns on the helicopters "sweep the ground," then ground troops cleared the way with gun grenades, those with tough luck to survive might get a chance to be imprisoned, but the unlucky ones would only get a body bag.

At this moment, everyone realized that the seemingly ready Moscow Garrison was just a decoy, and the special forces of the Security Department had been in place for a while.

By the time everything was over, the sky was completely bright...

A spokesperson for the Russia Security Conference held a press conference, announcing that the Russia Security Department had thwarted a terrorist act against Edward Snowden orchestrated by several foreign intelligence agencies, and also announced that Deputy Minister Peterlovich was temporarily leaving his post due to health reasons...

The most critical news was that, considering Edward Snowden’s ordeal, the Security Conference would consider offering him lifelong political asylum, and had submitted a written report to President Boss Pu, just waiting for his signature to take effect.

Many activities in the diplomatic intelligence agencies in Moscow suddenly found that Moscow had become much quieter, those originally active Russian local gangs collectively fell silent, and some even disappeared altogether.

The once flourishing underground business suddenly came to a halt, and those inside the Russian government who were bought off had collectively fallen silent during this period, severely impacting many intelligence department activities.

A single Edward Snowden blew up the most rampant underground organizations around Moscow, and then collectively dragged them near the Bolonicov Factory to be used as targets.

No investigations, arrests, or trials, just swiftly excised a festering wound from the already unhealthy body of Moscow.

Those on the battlefield only saw gunfire and explosions, but they could never imagine that this was a meticulously orchestrated chaos.

Only those who were standing behind could faintly sense something was amiss, especially those ’Middlemen’ ’Intelligence Officers’ who called Mountain Eagle at night...

Especially those representing the interests of the United States, like Mori!

Only they knew best that last night’s tumult, seemingly a carefully laid trap, ended with Russia cleaning up, so Russia gained the most.

But actually, those who had communicated with Mountain Eagle knew that the bodyguard named Mountain Eagle had achieved a miraculous turnaround in a desperate situation, eventually rescuing the captured Snowden.

Yes, they all thought last night’s battle was for Snowden!

The American side felt they ’knew’ a bit more...

They believed that Mountain Eagle proposed the right conditions at the right time, securing a favorable position for himself.

Yet they were completely unaware that the rhythm of the war and negotiations was always under Mountain Eagle’s control.

He gambled all available resources, even calculating the undercover agent that Victoria had arranged by Bolonicov’s side, thus creating a victory as if by magic.

He fulfilled the conditions proposed by Victoria, taking down Bolonicov...

Using Bolonicov, he helped Erin take down the deputy minister of the Russia Security Department, clearing obstacles for her later plans...

These were the conditions initially discussed with Blood Fox!

Although the process certainly did not go as they envisioned, from the result, Mountain Eagle truly fulfilled the agreement between them.

After all, when they first talked, they did not lay out everything clearly.

They only saw Mountain Eagle as a slightly clever fighter, so they felt that they were the ones controlling the rhythm.

This is why Mountain Eagle could justifiably use them...

You didn’t say it at the start, now saying anything is useless!

In any case, I did the job, you got the benefits, whether it’s enough or not is no longer my concern.

Compared to those two old ladies, Mountain Eagle’s own gains were much larger...

The code name ’Mountain Eagle’ completely ignited in the underworld!

Turning the tables from a desperate situation, rescuing his own employer, and even securing political asylum from Russia for him...

This capability far exceeds the meaning of ’bodyguard’!

Most people don’t know that Mountain Eagle also managed to secure a negotiation opportunity for Snowden with representatives from the United States.

Once this negotiation is exposed, Mountain Eagle, who led this event, will become a textbook example of handling such incidents.

For a bodyguard to achieve this for his employer, there is no room for further advancement.

As Mountain Eagle was heading to the airport, he kept receiving phone calls...

Besides the previous "middlemen," the giant middleman "White Whale," ranked top among the middlemen at International Intermediary Company, also called him.

Without exception, all of them gave up on probing and coveting Snowden, instead wanting to establish exclusive contacts with Mountain Eagle...

However, only "White Whale" told Mountain Eagle that someone had already named a price for him...

The large international Security Company "Triple Sky" offered a million-dollar annual salary plus company shares to invite Mountain Eagle to join them.

The world’s largest risk consulting firm, Control Risks Group, also offered a million British Pounds annual salary plus a senior position in crisis management.

The most extravagant offer came from a prince in Bahrain who offered 20 million US Dollars per year to hire Mountain Eagle and his team for travel security, or a two million US Dollars annual salary to make Mountain Eagle his chief of security.

How many hours has it been?

If you say these invitations were made by the companies themselves, Mountain Eagle absolutely wouldn’t believe it!

The only possibility was that this bigwig "White Whale," in order to win him over, did some preliminary work.

That is, recommending him to his client base and then communicating with those interested to showcase what Mountain Eagle did in Moscow these past few days—enough to elicit a response.

Actually, a million-dollar salary only sounds scary; after taxes, it really isn’t much.

But whether it materializes isn’t important; demonstrating strength is what matters most!

At any rate, during the call, Mountain Eagle was stunned by "White Whale."

Even after realizing what was going on, he still had to admit that the world’s top "middleman" indeed had something special.

Compared to other middlemen who hinted at or directly sought exclusive cooperation, White Whale was both powerful and generous, leaving an extremely deep impression on Mountain Eagle.

Nevertheless, in the end, Mountain Eagle still refused White Whale’s proposal...

When everyone, after multiple transfers, finally reached the airport around 5 p.m.

After over thirty hours of intense combat and movement, they were all utterly exhausted.

So after Butcher and his team secured the airport, Mountain Eagle simply used Bolonicov’s secretly owned small private airport as a temporary resting place.

Dubbed an "airport," it was actually just a space next to a large farm.

How exactly this thing operated, Mountain Eagle wasn’t particularly clear, but he had to admit, for someone like him who had a fondness for land, Russia’s vast and abundant resources were indeed enviable.

The airport had no ground personnel, only a large hangar, a part-time lawn maintenance worker, a pilot in his sixties, and a Cessna plane.

When Butcher and his team burst in, the people inside the airport did not put up any resistance.

Even the lawn maintenance worker called over his wife and children who were busy in the nearby farm to make them hostages, suggesting it would prevent them from doing anything irrational.

Although the stout woman showed no gratitude, Mountain Eagle decided to still trust the old fellow’s "goodwill," and locked him up with his wife and children in the office of the hangar.

The moment the door closed, Mountain Eagle heard a scream that sent chills down his spine, followed by the sound of heavy objects being moved and smashed.

Worried, Mountain Eagle peeked through the small window on the office door and saw the first chair had become fragments, while the second was in the pudgy woman’s hands, testing its durability against the body of the lawn worker.

Seeing the lawn worker’s head visibly swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye, Mountain Eagle, gritting his teeth, said to the undercover Nikolai watching the scene: "Couples in Russia truly are moving!"

Nikolai looked at two children in their teens in the office, who were indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Sir, you better pull him out, or someone might actually get killed.

This guy betraying his own ex-wife isn’t human, but he still doesn’t deserve to die; Russian women sometimes really can’t control themselves!"

Thinking about the unfortunate man who betrayed his ex-wife and children, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "You stay here and let her hit him for another five minutes..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle yawned, stretched his body, and said, "I’m going to check out Bolonicov’s little vault and then find a place to sleep."

Just as Mountain Eagle turned to leave, the unfortunate man inside suddenly pushed past his furious ex-wife, rushed to the office door, banged on the wooden door with force, and shouted loudly, "Let me out, I know that guy’s secret. He has a secret storage nearby..."
