Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Unlucky Sergei

Sergei arrived at the airport with joy in his heart, thinking he had finally gotten lucky...

The Deputy Minister of Security had been taken down, and the gang involved in the ambush near the factory was now under his jurisdiction. There was also progress in pinning the blame...

From the current situation, it seems that there are suspects within Russia accused of treason who, to curry favor with the United States, planned a murder at the airport...

Of course, the airport murder was actually orchestrated by Anna, and making others take the blame was arranged by Erin.

However, this did not prevent the two from following the clues and rooting out a bunch of vermin hidden in Moscow.

Though they couldn’t make sense of the overwhelming intelligence, it didn’t stop the higher-ups from suddenly green-lighting their operations...

After the Deputy Minister of Security was removed, two incompetent agents from the Fifth Intelligence Bureau were urgently promoted and formed an independent investigation unit within the Security Department.

In just a few short hours, Sergei and Selena didn’t even have time to see their new office, yet there was already a team of elite soldiers they had never met before, causing a stir in the Russian intelligence community with their purges.

Compared to ’connected’ Selena, Sergei thought more clearly...

After all, if being a puppet can help me escape being marginalized, that’s not too bad.

And this ’puppet’ has quite some power!

Filled with joy, Sergei, along with Anton who he had temporarily pulled into the Security Bureau as his assistant, rushed to the airport with a team to take over the key figure Bolonicov...

The first thing he saw was not Bolonicov but four terrifying nuclear bombs!

"My God..."

Watching the Butcher and others in protective gear, Sergei waved indicating they should take over those bombs...

Sergei instinctively covered his crotch and stepped back, exclaiming, "Why are these things here now?"

Anton, a forensic doctor, remained relatively calm when not facing a gun...

Looking at Sergei, who was about to strip off his bullet-proof vest and wrap it around his crotch, Anton rummaged through the trunk of a Security Department vehicle for a simple chemical protective suit and an old Geiger counter.

Holding the Geiger counter and walking around the bombs, he found no reaction. Anton shouted to Sergei who was clumsily putting on his protective suit, "Hey, stop putting that on. There’s no reaction. They must be expired duds."

Hearing this, Sergei zipped up his protective suit while shaking his head, "Unless the markings on the bombs are fake, the half-life of weapons-grade nuclear material is longer than our lives."

Mountain Eagle, already impatient with the stinking protective gear, heard Anton’s words and immediately took off the suit, then walked over to Anton, who had changed into new clothes, smiling, "Looks like you’re doing quite well, you bastard..."

Anton nodded happily and said, "My gang that was into loan sharking is done for!

Selena is at the hotel watching the kids. Sergei said he needed a trustworthy assistant, so I reluctantly agreed..."

With that, Anton cautiously glanced at Mountain Eagle’s expression and whispered, "Actually, I think working in the Security Department isn’t so bad. But those things I did at the forensic center, could you possibly..."

Mountain Eagle paused, then laughed, "Don’t worry, stealing from the dead is despicable, but if you give me a little benefit, I’ll forget all those messes."

After that, Mountain Eagle shouted to the suddenly timid-looking Sergei: "Hey, what are you standing around for? Get these things and take Bolonicov too.

There’s also a serial killer’s trophy warehouse in a basement of a barn on a nearby farm that needs clearing.

Buddy, you’re in luck this time!"

Sergei made a phone call, listening to the person on the other end whose voice changed with astonishment, enduring stern instructions from the other side while continuously nodding to show he understood...

After hanging up, Sergei looked at Mountain Eagle, with a bitter smile, "Sir, smuggling nuclear weapons is beyond my capabilities, I can’t handle this situation here, and I dare not handle it..."

Mountain Eagle, curious, remarked, "Smuggling nuclear weapons is indeed serious, but haven’t they already been found?"

Sergei glanced at the four bombs and lamented, "The nuclear bombs are products of the Soviet era. After Russia and the United States signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, all those dangerous bombs were supposed to have been destroyed.

That’s what the documents and news say!

The sudden appearance of four nuclear bombs will trigger a very severe internal investigation."

Sergei murmured, unclear if he was speaking to himself or to Mountain Eagle, "I really hope this doesn’t fall on me, otherwise my mother will definitely not see me getting married."

Mountain Eagle, realizing, nodded...

The leaked nuclear weapons were indeed a tremendous issue; the re-emergence of supposedly destroyed nuclear weapons would cause immense panic in Russia and the world at large.

Back then, the Soviet Union didn’t produce just one or two bombs but many batches of nuclear bombs of different calibers...

The ones at the scene were 180mm nuclear bombs designed for coastal artillery, and there were other calibers of nuclear bombs.

In theory, these nuclear bombs should all have been destroyed!

Now that 4 nuclear bombs have suddenly appeared, it indicates that there might be even more dangerous nuclear bombs lost in the market.

Slavic greed is well-known; their arms dealers dare to sell anything!

Once the investigative task falls on Sergei, given Russia’s current political situation and corruption level, unless Boss Pu personally backs him, his small stature won’t be able to withstand it.

Mountain Eagle spread his hands sympathetically and said, "Then I suggest you take a look at the barn on the farm..."

Sergei said with a horrified face, "Don’t tell me there’s even more troublesome stuff inside..."

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, nodded first, then shook his head, and then said, "That depends on how you handle it...

You’ll know once you see it, a man named John Carpin has invested in Bolonicov’s lab and sent a body of Afeika Super Man for research material.

That guy named John Carpin is also a perverted serial killer; every time he comes to Moscow, he kills one or two people and takes an item from their bodies as a trophy.

It is said that the Carpin family is a big shot in the Eastern European black market; I guess it’s going to be very tough to handle.

However, if I had to choose, I would definitely take the serial killer’s case over the nuclear bomb mess."

Upon hearing this, Sergei frowned and said, "Human experimentation? A serial killer?

Isn’t this outside the jurisdiction of the Security Department?"

Mountain Eagle was amused by Sergei’s expression and waved his hand, saying, "Just take a look, judging by the number of trophies in the basement, that guy has killed at least 60 people in Moscow.

A normal serial killer couldn’t kill so many people; this must be a terrorist!

And it’s supported by an organization, with the goal of sabotaging Moscow’s public security, both evil and cruel.

As the new special agent of the Security Bureau, it’s within your duties to handle this kind of thing!"

"And Mountain Eagle didn’t want to keep waiting around. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Sergei...

"This is a numbered Swiss Bank account containing $700,000 that Bolonicov saved for his escape.

Although it was I who caught him, the Security Department had the support of a Mercenary Group during the fight.

I’ve already taken care of the fee for that Mercenary Group; the rest of the money is for you to handle."

Sergei, holding the note incredulously, looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "For me?"

Mountain Eagle couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said disdainfully, "You wish, think I’d give it to you to take?

Hand it to your superior, and then sincerely suggest that she handle this money. If my name comes up, by the way, put in a good word for me...

Brother, you can say parking in the director’s spot on your first day was a misunderstanding.

If you don’t handle this properly, I doubt you’ll make it far in the Security Bureau!"

Saying so, Mountain Eagle patted Sergei’s arm and pointed to a van they had driven over, "I’ll borrow that van for a bit; my people are all worn out and need to rest at the hotel..."

Holding the ’gift’ Mountain Eagle had given to the Security Bureau, Sergei felt a bit more optimistic about his own situation...

Decisively, he had his subordinate vacate the car, quickly handed over Bolonicov, then went to check the barn’s basement, letting Mountain Eagle leave first...

As Mountain Eagle sat in the van, the snoring of a few guys in the back seat kept him from even being able to close his eyes and rest...

Mi Lu, who was driving, watched several armed helicopters ’Female Deer’ escorting two ’Hippo’ helicopters towards the airport...

He glanced at Mountain Eagle in the passenger seat and said, "Actually, you could have taken all the money from Bolonicov’s bank account; Erin and her team could handle the coming issues.

Moreover, according to the Mercenary’s rules, that’s your loot!"

Mountain Eagle rubbed his somewhat numb face and said, "If we always act only by the rules of mercenaries, then I can only be a mercenary.

Pal, I want to make money too, but there’s never enough!

The Deputy Minister of the Russia Security Department has been removed, a lot of people were involved, and if I, a small player, take all the benefits, what would the people in the Security Department think?

Erin is the secretary assistant of the Security Conference, she is not the director of the Security Bureau...

Our identity and actions are already against the rules, only if the Security Bureau turns a blind eye, can our next negotiations possibly proceed smoothly.

Showing them some sincerity, pulling the Security Bureau into the scene to support Snowden when necessary, and even sharing the gains from the negotiations could lead us to a favorable outcome..."

Mi Lu felt he might not have thought of these things, but he genuinely admired Mountain Eagle’s approach...

Because in his heart, the more cautious and comprehensive Mountain Eagle’s behavior, the closer he was to taking his place.

Looking at Mountain Eagle’s slightly tired profile, Mi Lu suddenly said, "’White Whale’ called you, what are you thinking?"
