Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Secrets

When Mountain Eagle changed his angle and approached it from a capital standpoint, even pointing out several major enterprises, the matter became entirely different...

Blood Fox’s actions, influenced by Snowden, combined with what Mountain Eagle had previously struggled for, turned into a whip pushing the other party to hasten...

I’m standing out in the open, and I am in danger. If I die, I’ll drag you all down with me!

It’s like finding the right person to hammer when you’re fighting, which simply demonstrates your ruthlessness.

This is a blatant tactic to force the opponent to show their hand!

And because the other side also has their own standpoints and thoughts, it results in mutual restraint...

When there are "too many opinions", synergy cannot be formed. At this point, as long as one party plays the role of the ’traitor’ and stands out in support of Snowden, the thoughts of the others may also change.

Mountain Eagle looked at Blood Fox’s expression, guessing that he had probably already picked his ’traitor’!

Watching Blood Fox looking confident, Mountain Eagle nodded and asked, "Did someone contact you privately? What conditions did they offer?"

Blood Fox stuffed a sour pickle into his mouth and slightly nodded, "It’s a South African pharmaceutical company called G·I·D, they contacted me through the manager of Arctic Fox..."

"Pharmaceutical company?"

Mountain Eagle furrowed his brows curiously and asked, "Why would a pharmaceutical company rush to jump out like this?"

Blood Fox shook his head, indicating he was not sure. Snowden fiddled with the computer beside him, then raised his hand and said, "I might know..."

Mountain Eagle sat next to Snowden, looking at the unfamiliar and complex screen used by him and helplessly said, "I don’t understand..."

Snowden nodded in understanding, then quickly operated a few times before making the screen return to a clean interface; he then slowed down his actions and explained, "I made a simple search tool temporarily. Just by entering keywords, it can swiftly search through hundreds of thousands of files and find all the related information..."

As Snowden spoke, he hit the enter key and the computer, as if vomiting, rapidly popped up hundreds of file windows...

Snowden, like a robot, quickly scanned through and organized it, saying, "Twenty years ago, the British and American Intelligence Department jointly developed a ’Super Soldiers’ project.

The main body of the project was set up in South Africa, aiming to utilize Afeika’s abundant manpower to test drug effects.

The company leading this project was G·I·D; their research covered drug development, plant genetic improvement, virus research, and human experiments...

The project was terminated five years ago because there was no progress, but the United States felt that G·I·D Company had not been completely truthful...

So, they not only dispatched agents for a secret investigation but also used technical means to carry out electronic surveillance on G·I·D’s top executives and several key researchers.

This report from the agents indicates that the company manipulated and underreported research results.

Moreover, it’s more serious that they collaborated with an American laboratory, transferred research outcomes, which eventually resulted in the failure of a project in which the UK and US had invested nearly six billion US Dollars over twenty years."

Speaking of this, Snowden looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "In fact, this G·I·D company has not really been focusing on the ’Super Soldiers’ project; they have been developing improved Coca Trees and several types of Super Stimulants.

These Super Stimulants had various formulas, some of which enhanced human sensory perceptions and physical abilities and were considered as results that flowed back to the UK and the United States. They were used in actual combat by some special forces.

However, the report indicates that these stimulants worked well, but their high addictiveness meant they were quickly abandoned by these special forces."

Mountain Eagle rubbed his slightly swollen temples, incredulously saying, "So there was such a company that undertook the joint project of the UK and US...

Spent six billion from two great nations on their own projects, and eventually became a drug supplier for the special forces of both countries?

What kind of company is that daring, treating the British and American intelligence agencies like easy marks?"

Snowden, with a calm expression, shook his head and said, "Sir, if you look closely at those documents, you’ll find that abusing power to divert appropriations is a common occurrence in the UK and US.

However, some still try to show some results, such as the famous Telos Weapon System project...

They invested most of the research funds into the project, but it was eventually scrapped because of the direction issue.

Then there are those who don’t even bother, like the XM25 grenade launcher, extended-range Cannon ERCA, and even the Air-launched hypersonic missile...

These projects consumed massive amounts of funds but have shown no results!"

Mountain Eagle, feeling the Flexible Armor inside his chest named ’Telos’, listened and was quickly distracted by something else...

Looking at the date on the analysis report from the State Department’s agent, Mountain Eagle took a deep breath and said, "The report is from 2012, it emerged two years ago, but this G·I·D company still exists.

That means someone suppressed the issue!

Now, this company is worried that you will release the files and trigger a new investigation, hence they actively contacted Blood Fox."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle thoughtfully stroked his chin and smiled, "With such a solid backing, why are they so eager to come forward?"

Beside him, Blood Fox smiled and said, "We usually call this kind of action ’test stone’!"

G·I·D’s scale is neither too large nor too small, and it’s a project in collaboration with England...

This kind of project that spans 20 years must have been handled by many people, and since the project hasn’t produced significant consequences, they could handle exposure.

If we can’t prove definitively that we have what they want..."

Mountain Eagle listened and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Understood!

In our eyes, this G·I·D company is a giant that burned through 6 billion US Dollars of British and American funds, but in the eyes of some big shots, it’s just a pawn.

But a pawn worth 6 billion seems a bit too expensive..."

Blood Fox shook his head and chuckled, "That company is just a channel for laundering money, just let them go bankrupt when necessary, then change the name and they can reopen."

Mountain Eagle listened and nodded in awe, saying, "Right, the other party doing this is actually trying to put pressure on us...

Having a company without serious consequences negotiate with us; if the results are decent, others will follow suit."

Speaking, Mountain Eagle looked at Snowden, somewhat curious, "Looking at this, among the giants I pointed out, at least one of them shares the same boss with this G·I·D company, wow, who exactly is this person?"

Snowden adjusted his glasses, tiredly shook his head and said, "I don’t know, it’s not necessarily a person, it could be a group.

They might not be the bosses of these companies; a more likely possibility is that they are the investors..."

Mountain Eagle listened and nodded somewhat emotionally...

He didn’t expect that he, a small fry, would one day wrestle with these tycoons...

He didn’t know whether to feel terrified or honored.

Looking at Snowden, who obviously became a bit nervous, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "Don’t be afraid, you won’t die!

Right now you’re like a human stamp, if you die, the contents of these documents would be validated.

Of course, we can’t touch those people, but those high up there all have several competitors or even mortal enemies, and they certainly wouldn’t mind kicking someone when they’re down.

Your life is certainly not a match for their losses!

On the other hand, if you’re willing to promise to keep your mouth shut, those people might even offer you some level of protection and convenience."

Snowden listened and grimaced, saying, "I didn’t quite understand all that..."

Mountain Eagle patiently explained, "Those people are actually not afraid of you leaking secrets; they’re afraid that you’d use your reputation to drag them down with you.

Actually, if you dare to do that and they suffer losses, you’re definitely a goner.

However, they also can’t press you too hard now because you’ve been fighting the wrong way in the past, but now we’ve caught their weak spot.

If things go to the worst case scenario, you’ll definitely die, but those people won’t have an easy time either."

Saying that, Mountain Eagle looked at Snowden, whose resolve seemed a bit broken, and he cheerfully said, "Old chap, you have to stick to your own ideas, keep confronting the United States Government.

Capital has no borders, there’s no such thing as patriotism, as long as you don’t touch the interests of those capital giants, you can curse the United States Government all you want.

You won’t believe it, but among those who want to kill you are people from the Moscow Embassy and the CIA, but none of them are acting on government orders."

Snowden digested what Mountain Eagle had said and nodded bitterly, "I understand, so what should we do next?"

Mountain Eagle pointed at Snowden’s computer and smilingly said, "Copy the data of this G·I·D company, package it up and hand it over to Blood Fox, we’ll first see what kind of terms the other side is willing to offer."

As Mountain Eagle was speaking, a knock sounded at the door...

Butcher walked over to open the door and saw several waiters with three food trolleys standing at the entrance...

He looked back for Mountain Eagle’s consent, then stepped aside to let the food trolleys in.

Mountain Eagle allowed the wait staff to leave first, then he walked over to the food trolleys...

He first picked up a piece of pizza and took a bite, beckoning Butcher and others to eat, holding the whole pizza platter, he sat next to Snowden and said, "Let’s eat something...

Don’t worry, no one has poisoned it, you’re too important right now!

The real bigwigs want you alive, those who want you dead are just small fry without even the qualifications to sit at the table, trailing in intelligence...

These people can’t escape the security network set up by the Security Department around the Four Seasons Hotel!"

After finishing a piece of pizza, Mountain Eagle drank a big gulp of juice and then let out a comfortable sigh...

Watching Snowden who ate cautiously, Mountain Eagle chuckled and said, "Hey, you have so many documents in hand, you must know many of America’s secrets, right?

Is there any explosive news among them?"
