Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Abundant Harvest

Mountain Eagle was startled for a moment, watching through the glass as a furious girl swung a stool toward the unlucky guy’s back head, he decisively opened the door and grabbed the guy, using the door as a shield to block the lethal attack...

"Bang"

Post Box, who had been lying on a lounge chair, was startled into sitting up, baring his teeth and was about to rush over with a machine gun to check the situation.

Mountain Eagle leaned his shoulder against the wooden door, and with great effort, he managed to lock the frenzied tigress inside the room...

Looking at the shattered glass and hearing the piercing roar, Mountain Eagle sympathized with the unlucky lawn worker, saying, "Buddy, although I don’t agree with your methods, I admire your courage."

Pointing at Bolonicov, who was tied to the front wheel of the Cessna, Mountain Eagle asked the lawn worker, "Did you say he has a secret warehouse?"

The lawn worker, beaten up to look like a pig’s head, squinted his swollen eyes and nodded forcefully, saying, "Yes, yes...

He has a secret warehouse underneath the barn of the neighboring farm. I saw him bringing some things in there myself."

As he spoke, the poor fellow clasped his hands together and shook them at Mountain Eagle, saying, "Sir, I know you look down on me, but I really wanted to protect them.

Natalie has a bad temper, and once you enter the farm, she will definitely conflict with you.

I overheard you talking about handing that guy over to the Security Department, so I think you might not be bad guys.

My children are still young, they shouldn’t be involved!"

Mountain Eagle knew right away that this guy’s so-called ’not being bad guys’ was just flattery, but at this moment he somewhat believed that the guy’s ’betrayal’ of his own wife and children wasn’t out of malice.

Given the temper that the lady showed, there probably really would be casualties if a conflict arose.

Looking at the unfortunate guy’s swollen face, Mountain Eagle thought it over and simply stood still and said, "The airport is large, why would Bolonicov need a secret warehouse at the farm’s barn next door?"

The lawn worker twisted the corner of his mouth and glanced at his ex-wife who was glaring at him through the small window, with a bitter smile said, "Because the farm also belongs to Bolonicov...

Both the farm and this airport used to be mine, but I got into gambling and lost them both.

It was Natalie who saved the house on the farm, which kept my children from having to sleep on the streets.

Bolonicov didn’t wipe us out entirely; he let Natalie stay in the house, just taking the barn and the airport, and kept me as the lawn worker.

He used to come here once or twice a year, and every time, he would visit the barn, so I’m sure he hid some things there.

Sir, I deserve my punishment, but my wife and children are innocent...

If you take those things, could you please spare my family?"

Mountain Eagle listened and then turned to glance at the now quiet tigress inside, he placed his hand on the unlucky guy’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, you’re right, we are not bad guys.

The Security Department’s people will soon come to take that guy away, as long as you confirm your family didn’t participate in that guy’s business, you’ll be fine."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle saw Butcher pushing open the door of the hangar tool room waving at him, he said to Nikolai, "You stay here and watch them..."

Nikolai, knowing his identity wasn’t trusted, walked up to the door and said a few words to Natalie, asking her to grab two bottles of cold beer from the office fridge and apply them on the unlucky guy’s face, then pulling him to sit down on a bench...

"My friend, your sacrifice was too great!

Men in Russia should take your case as a lesson!"

The lawn worker bitter-sweetly nodded, "Right, you shouldn’t mess with gambling..."

Nikolai listened, shook his head and said, "No, what I meant is, in choosing a wife you should be more cautious, not choosing those who could lift a fridge and smash someone at any time.

My God, she was like a grizzly bear in her rage, I thought you were going to be torn apart!"

The lawn worker was stunned for a moment, pulling a wry smile, "No, she wasn’t like this before..."

Nikolai sympathetically looked at the unlucky guy and nodded, "Right, Russian girls are all the same before they turn 18, and also after they turn 30!"

Mountain Eagle didn’t hear Nikolai’s snide comments, he went into the tool room of the hangar and saw the safe hidden behind the moved tool rack, he smiled and said, "Open it up, didn’t Bolonicov already give the code?"

Butcher shook his head and said, "No, boss, I think it’s better you watch..."

Sometimes Mountain Eagle thought Butcher was a bit too old-fashioned, he nodded with a smile and said, "Open it up, this might be my biggest haul in Moscow..."

Butcher felt excited inside, as no one can resist a ’mystery box’ guaranteed to contain something.

He typed in the code and then forcefully turned the handle...

The 50 cm square wall safe opened instantly, revealing stacks of cash, several passports, a black notebook, and five rolls of items wrapped in parchment paper.

Seeing Butcher step aside, Mountain Eagle moved forward a few steps, first picking up the passports to take a look...

A Ukrainian passport, a South African passport, a Maltese passport.

Below the passports, the notebook recorded some sloppy details of bribery transactions, with times, locations, people, events, accounts, amounts...

Many of the people’s names were unclear to Mountain Eagle, but he knew the kind of impact this notebook could have during this turbulent time in Russia.

This is indeed the most valuable thing!

Mountain Eagle himself certainly can’t use it, as he lacks a significant background to influence any of the corrupt officials in Russia merely with these.

However, though Mountain Eagle can’t use it personally, he can use it to exchange for what he needs from Erin, or perhaps to repay a favor that he owes!

This planned income didn’t particularly move Mountain Eagle.

Even after counting the cash in the safe, finding there were 100,000 Euros, 100,000 US Dollars, 100,000 Swiss Francs, and 100,000 British Pounds, it merely made Mountain Eagle slightly happy.

What surprised Mountain Eagle the most was that Bolonicov had prepared not only a variety of currencies as his escape funds but also it wasn’t just cash.

Those five rolls wrapped in leather paper were actually all gold coins!

Moreover, although the size of each roll of gold coins was nearly the same, they were not the same type...

United States Eagle Coin, Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin, South African Krugerrand gold coin, Mexican gold peso, British Great Britain gold coins.

Each of these five types of gold coins totaled 100 coins per roll, each weighing about one ounce, meaning each roll had approximately 3100 grams of gold, totaling 15.5 kilograms.

The purity of each type of gold coin varied slightly, creating some differences in value, but for Mountain Eagle who only cared about gold, they were all the same.

According to the current gold price, each ounce of gold is valued at 1,210 US dollars, which means in addition to the cash, Bolonicov had prepared over 600,000 US dollars worth of gold for himself.

Of course, if considering the collectible value of these coins, the amount could be even more.

Mountain Eagle was extremely pleased with this bounty!

He placed several rolls of gold coins into his backpack and then signaled Butcher and Pirate to empty their backpacks and pack the cash...

Following that, he picked up Bolonicov’s passport and notebook, patted them in his hand, and said with a smile, "This time our loot is quite good, once this is over, I’ll give you guys a bonus..."

Butcher seemed startled and decisively shook his head saying, "No need, we’ve already taken our commission, and even received a 300,000 Rubbles bonus, it’s enough!"

Mountain Eagle paused, in a very good mood said: "How can it be right when the boss is making money and the employees are still struggling?

But since you are shy to take money, let’s exchange it for other things.

Whatever your family needs, I’ll try to arrange something..."

Saying this Mountain Eagle looked at Butcher who still wanted to refuse, waved his hand and said: "Don’t refuse me, in the next few days I will be a red man in the eyes of some big shots, not taking the opportunity to ask for something harmless, would not do justice to our efforts these past few days.

I am not too wealthy, so being generous on behalf of others isn’t a burden for me."

Butcher and Pirate exchanged glances, then slightly nodded and said, "Thank you, boss!"

Mountain Eagle chuckled and slapped Butcher’s arm with the notebook, saying, "That’s right, from the day you started working for me, we have been a shared-interest community.

I take on the greatest risks, and rightly should gain the most!

But as long as I am making money, everyone involved with me should benefit too.

I can’t promise you immense wealth, but given the current situation, ensuring your families have a decent life is no problem."

While Mountain Eagle was speaking, a slip of paper fell out of the notebook...

Mountain Eagle casually caught the drifting slip of paper in the air, frowned upon looking at it, and found an email and password clumsily written on it.

He gestured for Butcher and Pirate to leave the cramped tool room, and after stepping outside, he took out his phone and logged into the email.

Upon accessing the email, Mountain Eagle surprisingly found it contained a dozen emails, all of which were Bitcoin transaction records densely noting about 2000 Bitcoins.

Bolonicov seems to have been a cautious man. He didn’t trust exchanges, so he used a very primitive method of saving Bitcoin, which is by separately recording and saving the Bitcoin address and private key.

Though his storage method is hardly secure at all, given the current Bitcoin value of just over 300 US dollars, more than 2000 Bitcoins would amount to just slightly over 600,000 US dollars.

Moreover, since he chose the address and private key saving method without using exchanges, making large transactions becomes very difficult.

So bosses like Bolonicov probably didn’t focus too much on this aspect.

Mountain Eagle guessed that Bolonicov’s purpose in storing Bitcoins was simply to diversify the types of funds available for fleeing, to cope with any possible circumstances.

Mountain Eagle had to admit, Bolonicov’s approach was a lesson for him.

A clever rabbit has three burrows is just the basics, the money of a clever rabbit also needs to maintain diversity to have enough risk resistance!

Now including the 1000 Bitcoins he had obtained from the Replacer gang leader previously, he now had a total of 3000 Bitcoins.

No matter how troublesome it is to convert this stuff, Mountain Eagle at least is a paper millionaire now.

Adding the earnings from fighting the gang, the 50,000 given by Mori, and the recent bounty, there was a moment Mountain Eagle felt somewhat filthy rich...

At the same time, his interest in Bolonicov’s secret storage had significantly diminished...

After all, if Bolonicov’s belongings for fleeing were all here, what else of value could there be in that so-called secret storage?
