Chapter 242: Chapter 241: A Hostage with a Significant Background

The Charigler Group is a global mining company headquartered in Switzerland and one of the world’s largest copper producers.

Mountain Eagle’s company had some business with Charigler Group back then, but led by the locust Russia faction, Russia’s Charigler Group was indifferent towards them and the employees of the enterprise left a very bad impression on Mountain Eagle.

Many of our countrymen have a blind fondness for these ’locust Russia faction’ who are intent on restoring monarchy...

However, they are unaware that these people are classic extremists and nationalists, who are bent on annexing Ukraine and White Russia to establish a major Slavic empire.

They are anything but friendly to their homeland, downright malicious, one could say!

In fact, at this stage, Russia’s overall ideology was oriented toward the West, and it maintained an ambiguous stance toward East only to balance certain Western policies; cooperation between the two sides, both official and civil, was not close.

If Boss Pu’s attitude was ambiguous, then the ’locust Russia faction’ was overtly malicious.

They have published books and repeatedly declared in public that to counter southern pressure, they should find a way to split several northern provinces of East and establish a new buffer zone.

Of course, due to the limitations of its national strength and the authorities’ lack of focus on the Far East, their strategic thinking did not have much of a market.

However, these individuals ultimately achieved success in Ukraine!

The Crimea crisis was orchestrated by them, forcing Boss Pu to react hastily without adequate preparation, staunchly facing NATO’s pressure, and annex Crimea into Russia.

Seemingly assisting Russia in expanding its territory should have made them historically renowned, but their actions reduced the space for Russia to communicate with Western countries to a minimum, leaving little room for negotiation in many matters.

They seized the opportunity to promote themselves, significantly boosting the locust faction’s prestige within Russia and setting difficult challenges for Boss Pu, creating more leeway for the locust faction.

Even if Mountain Eagle did not like the ’locust Russia faction,’ he had to admit that Peter’s father Constantin was a formidable figure.

In Russia, anyone who could bypass Boss Pu, support military expansion abroad financially without causing Boss Pu’s backlash, was undoubtedly badass.

Looking at the embarrassingly disheveled Peter, Mountain Eagle incredulously said, "How could the son of such a tycoon get kidnapped?

What’s the point of kidnapping him? Even if they extort money, would they still have their lives to spend it?"

Sofia shook her head slightly upon hearing this and said, "As long as there is sufficient intelligence support, kidnapping anyone is possible, especially an heir who flaunts around in sports cars all over town."

Sofia, without answering Mountain Eagle’s second question, pointed to the eleven or twelve-year-old girl and said, "Her name is Irina, her grandfather is Rodkin, do you know who that is?"

Mountain Eagle hesitated before carefully responding, "The cellist musician Rodkin?"

Watching the fleeting horror in Mountain Eagle’s eyes, Sofia slightly nodded and said, "Yes, that Rodkin..."

Mountain Eagle stared at the adolescent girl, incredulously saying, "Is your brother Mario out of his mind?

Oh no, there must be foreign powers involved, who is it?

CIA? MI6? Mossad?"

This time, it was Sofia who got surprised momentarily; she hadn’t expected Mountain Eagle to be so sharp, pinpointing the crux of the matter instantly.

Rodkin appears just to be a musician, but those who know him well understand that he is genuinely a close friend of Boss Pu.

Boss Pu’s first wife was introduced by Rodkin, who is also the godfather to Boss Pu’s eldest daughter.

Since Rodkin never involved himself in the clique controlled by Boss Pu, his relationship with Boss Pu is comparatively purer and more straightforward.

It’s not that he agrees with everything Boss Pu says, but Boss Pu generally meets Rodkin’s requests...

When Old Luo wanted to start a musician saloon, Boss Pu authorized a plot near Red Square for him, which upon relocation, received 90 million Rubles for the construction of a concert hall.

When this guy wanted to support the development of young musicians in Russia, Boss Pu, without any second thoughts, personally dipped into his pocket and transferred 2 billion US Dollars to Old Luo’s Swiss Bank account.

The Wall Street Journal once interviewed Rodkin and expressed doubt over these 2 billion, suggesting it was evidence that Rodkin and Boss Pu were in cahoots...

Faced with Western skepticism, Rodkin did not offer any explanation but seriously stated that he and Boss Pu were very good friends!

This was a sort of veiled loyalty...

Remember, Boss Pu’s rise itself had a kind of mafia-style legendary story...

Boss Pu rescued his mentor Sobchak, imprisoned due to political failures, from jail, then alone went to Moscow to turn himself in.

His loyalty was admired by Ye Jiu Gui, who felt that someone who would go to such lengths for his mentor was worth nurturing.

Even Ye Jiu Gui eventually resigned as president in favor of Boss Pu largely because he saw Boss Pu’s loyalty, knowing he would never purge him.

Most people who have followed Boss Pu’s autobiography know the following: Boss Pu’s childhood friends, colleagues from his working years, basically anyone who was loyal to him, ended up thriving.

If we were to compare Russia to Causeway Bay, Boss Pu would unquestionably be the lead character Chen Haonan, with Rodkin playing the role of the supportive Priest...

Kidnapping such a person’s granddaughter is a direct challenge to Boss Pu!

Any sane person shouldn’t be doing this!

Moreover, to kidnap the son of a ’Locust Russia faction’ prominent figure, as well as the granddaughter of Boss Pu’s close friend...

This not only requires an iron will but also a brain pickled in the semen of an Indian rapist to pull off such a stunt.

Mountain Eagle felt there were idiots on this planet, but an idiot should not be able to gather people to imprison his competent sister.

Sofia’s brother being able to go this far definitely takes some capability, so there must be external people encouraging and supporting him to do such irrational things.

There must be many organizations with a motive, but very few with such capability.

Mountain Eagle looked at the silent Sofia. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don’t know what your brother wants to do, and I’m a bit afraid to ask.

But now that the two hostages have been rescued, your brother must be dead. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Sofia buried her face in her hands and stayed silent for a few minutes. When she looked up, her eyes were bloodshot.

She looked into Mountain Eagle’s eyes, and in a flat, emotionless tone, she said, "I need a quiet place and a telephone...

Mario deserves to die, and I need to grab whatever I can before he does."

Sofia paused, looking at Mountain Eagle, and said, "I always thought the Blood Oath of Arctic Fox was just a joke, but now I understand!"

Mountain Eagle was startled and was about to say something when Sofia pulled out a dagger from Daria’s waist, made a deep cut in the palm of her hand, and stretched her bleeding hand towards Mountain Eagle...

"I, Sofia Milosevic, make an unbreakable vow to Mountain Eagle, to unconditionally accept any request from him...

I will carry on the Blood Oath of the Milosevic family..."

As Sofia recited the oath, her expression was calm, and her tone was flat, completely lacking the heroic vibe traditionally associated with a mafia blood pact...

Mountain Eagle watched Sofia’s continuously bleeding hand, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to cut his own.

He simply reached out and grabbed Sofia’s hand, saying, "That’s enough, honestly speaking, a blood oath is really not a nice thing..."

Sofia watched Mountain Eagle’s eyes, her pale lips curved into a slight smile, and said, "If blood oaths were useless, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now."

Mountain Eagle didn’t want to discuss the blood oath with Sofia anymore. He looked down at her endlessly bleeding palm, gestured to the Butcher to bring over some hemostatic spray and bandages.

After helping Sofia treat her wound, Mountain Eagle glanced at the two hostages, thought for a moment and said, "We should head to the Four Seasons Hotel...

On the way, you can call your families and ask them to pick you up from the Four Seasons Hotel.

If they bring some substantial thanks, I’d gladly accept!"

The unfortunate Peter, holding his wet crotch, said with a wry smile, "Can I change my pants?

How much of a substantial thanks do I have to give for you to forget how I looked just now?"

Mountain Eagle didn’t expect this Peter to have a sense of humor...

Seeing him in such a wretched state, Mountain Eagle said with a grin, "I only have one spare pair of pants, would ten thousand euros be too much?"

When Peter heard that, he shook his head vigorously, "You are my savior, ten thousand euros is not too much at all."

Mountain Eagle, grinning, pulled out his phone and took a couple of photos of Peter...

Peter curled up like he was electrocuted, covering his crotch and burying his head in the ground, yelling, "Hey, you can’t do this, stop it, I’ll pay you, just delete those damn photos..."

For some reason, Mountain Eagle suddenly felt better...

He put away his phone and extended his hand to Rodkin’s granddaughter Irina, making an inviting gesture...

"Your Highness Princess, please get in the car, I’ll take you home!"

The little girl Irina, probably used to the scene, stood up and nodded elegantly, lifting the side of her skirt, and gave a curtsey softly saying: "Thank you, Mr. Knight..."

Being called ’Mr. Knight’ by the little girl made Mountain Eagle stunned for a moment, looking at little sister lowering her head shyly, he smiled and shook his head, taking her hand and helping her into the van...

Seeing the little girl nervously placing her hands on her knees, Mountain Eagle playfully bowed his chest, saying, "At your service, my princess!"

While Mountain Eagle was joking around with the little girl, Yuliy, wearing only underwear, came up to his side, clinging to his arm, and said, "I am also at your service, my master!"

Yuliy’s demeanor, which seemed like it belonged in a forbidden movie, made Mountain Eagle’s scalp tingle...

He looked into Yuliy’s eyes and said sternly, "Will you listen to me then?"

"Yes, master..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the crowd around with weird expressions, not wanting to be seen as a pervert, he vigorously rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said sternly, "If you’re obedient, put on your clothes and shut up, then get on the van...

What the hell is wrong with you guys, I’m sending this shit back when I get home!"
