Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Unexpected Complications

Mountain Eagle pulled out the prepaid phone he thought was secure and, with a wry smile, said, "I’m a bit confused now too. I even suspect those people can track the calls."

Blood Fox took the phone, turned it on, and saw that there was only one outgoing call...

"If the phone on the other end is being tapped, then with the right equipment and a long enough call duration, it wouldn’t be difficult to trace the incoming calls."

Mountain Eagle thought about how Peter had clutched the phone and cried for half an hour and cursed under his breath, slapping his forehead, "FUCK, I must remember this lesson..."

Watching the wounded being loaded into the vehicle, Mountain Eagle was about to go over when Blood Fox grabbed his arm and whispered, "You come with us; I’ve quietly brought Snowden out, and M·A company’s plane is ready. Grab ’Great White Shark’, and we’re leaving right away..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at a skinny ’Ministry of Internal Affairs’ operative in a mask nearby. He couldn’t help giving a thumbs up, then shook his head, "No, I’m not leaving. My buddy’s been injured...

You and Mi Lu take Snowden to Thailand, I’ll settle some scores here and then head back."

With that, Mountain Eagle walked over to where Sofia was, didn’t mention Snowden, but did relay Blood Fox’s suggestion to go to Thailand...

Sofia looked over at Blood Fox from a few meters away, nodded slightly as a gesture of acknowledgment, then said to Mountain Eagle, "I’m not going. I still have some things I need to deal with..."

Seeing this unexpected twist, Blood Fox exchanged a glance with Mi Lu, sighed and said, "We’ll leave. Maybe without the two of us old guys around, Mountain Eagle can be more at ease."

Mi Lu looked at the bodies strewn about and said with a grin, "Mountain Eagle is a natural killer; this guy doesn’t need your guidance..."

As Mi Lu watched Mountain Eagle’s sullen face...

"He shouldn’t be called Mountain Eagle; he’s a vengeful wolverine, relentlessly chasing and tearing at the enemy until they fall!"

Blood Fox, seeing Mi Lu’s blind trust in Mountain Eagle, shook his head, "He needs experience. Just being good at fighting is not enough..."

Mi Lu said nonchalantly, "You should keep your methods to yourself. When it comes to legal experience, Mountain Eagle is more seasoned than you. As for the illegal kind, surely the ability to shut up the enemy is more crucial.

The kid has finally agreed to take on Arctic Fox’s problem; don’t go making things worse.

Your lifelong mix-up without becoming the ’victor’ proves some of your experience is wrong..."

Blood Fox didn’t expect Mi Lu to say something so wise, after pondering for a moment, he nodded, "We’re leaving..."

Mountain Eagle caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye as Blood Fox and Mi Lu, along with Snowden, boarded a black Ministry of Internal Affairs vehicle and quietly left the chaotic scene.

Anna checked Yulia’s injury, her face grim as she approached Mountain Eagle, speaking in a heavy tone, "Who did this?"

Mountain Eagle turned back to look at Peter and Irina, huddled on the ground under thin blankets, shivering despite the mild weather, and said, "Someone among their families betrayed us, or their families were tapped, and the enemy tracked the phone I gave them."

Anna curiously scrutinized the unusually calm Sofia and said, "Get in the car, I’ll take you to the hospital..."

With that, Anna pulled Mountain Eagle along a few steps and whispered, "Can you stop looking for trouble?

We have a very important mission to complete!

What’s so special about ’Great White Shark’ that you’re going to such lengths for her?"

Mountain Eagle, looking at Anna’s complex expression, said, "First off, this fight wasn’t because of ’Great White Shark’...

Second, you’re Blood Fox’s daughter. If you ever run into trouble, you’ll understand what a ’Blood Oath’ can do for you."

Anna replied with a quirky expression, "And what if I’m utterly wicked?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands, "I didn’t know before, but in the future, if anyone deserves to die and it’s up to me, they probably won’t wait for a Blood Oath to save them...

Or maybe I’ll save you and then kill you with my own hands."

Feeling that Mountain Eagle’s treatment of her and Great White Shark seemed inconsistent, Anna said resentfully, "My people got hurt because of you; you must compensate..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the wounded who were all aboard the vehicle and at the large group of people arriving in the distance, turned around and pulled Peter and Irina from the ground, pushing them towards the car, and said to Anna, "The compensation should come from them!

FUCK, my people can’t be injured for nothing; someone has to pay the bill!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Sofia and shouted, "Get in the car; we’re heading to the hospital first!"

.........

When Shao Yigu from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and Kirill, the eldest son of the Maloferiev family, arrived at the scene, Mountain Eagle and the others had already been escorted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs operatives on their way to the hospital.

Only a group of late-arriving police officers, putting up warning tape around the bodies, were left at the scene.

The stocky police chief, upon seeing the battle’s aftermath with smoke still lingering, felt his head heat up before two streams of nosebleed gushed out.

Facing the steely-faced Shao Yigu, he strode toward a young police officer putting up the tape and demanded, "Where are those people?"

Startled at first by the sight of Moscow’s blood-mouthed top cop, the young officer snapped to attention and saluted, "Sir, by the time we arrived, the Internal Affairs people had already taken all the wounded..."

The police chief felt a chill in his heart as he stared with wide eyes and asked, "Where did they go? Did you see a little girl?"

The young officer shook his head and said, "I arrived late and didn’t see any little girl.

But the only thing left at the scene were corpses. Those who could get into a car either left unscathed or injured, whoever you’re looking for should still be alive.

As for which hospital they went to, I didn’t dare to ask, after all, they are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The police chief took a deep breath, turned, and ran to Shao Yigu’s side to brief him on the situation.

Although Shao Yigu wore a military uniform, he did not have a military background, and the bodies littering the ground were a tremendous shock to him.

Watching two officers trying to move a body into a body bag, a large clump of brain tissue fell out of a hole in the head as they lifted the corpse...

Shao Yigu squinted slightly with discomfort and said, "There are more people dead here than in a small-scale war. Who on earth is responsible for this?

Some of these people were executed after being injured. Why did they want to wipe out everyone at the scene?"

The police chief heard Shao Yigu’s dissatisfaction, but he dared not get involved in matters between the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He said with a forced laugh, "I’m having someone call all the major hospitals, and as soon as we have news, we can head straight there."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yigu gestured dismissively and said, "Don’t bother, I’ll make the calls..."

As he spoke, Shao Yigu looked at Kirill Malofiev approaching, and said in a deep voice, "Since your brother has also been kidnapped, come with me...

I’m very interested in these kidnappers!"

Kirill had also clearly never seen such a scene before. He glanced at the bodies around him and had difficulty swallowing, asking, "Who exactly rescued my brother?"

Shao Yigu took out his phone and said sternly, "I don’t know, but I’m going to find out soon!"

...

Moscow National Medical University First Affiliated Hospital...

Mountain Eagle stood at the entrance of the operating room of Moscow’s best hospital, waiting for news from inside.

When Pirate was brought in, he was already somewhat unconscious, and Mountain Eagle was really concerned...

On the other hand, Post Box, who seemed to have more severe injuries, had finished the cleaning and stitching surgery on his back and was receiving a blood transfusion, waiting for the anesthesia to wear off before he could be moved to a ward to recover.

This emergency had resulted in injuries to nearly everyone involved. Peter’s head was wrapped in gauze, and he sat dejected on a bench outside the operating room, refusing to leave Mountain Eagle’s side despite the nurses’ persuasion.

Irina’s wrists and ankles had bruises, and after receiving simple treatment from a nurse, she had ice packs applied.

Sofia, who had her head wound stitched, also came to sit at the entrance of the operating room.

She looked at Mountain Eagle pacing back and forth in front of the operating room and hesitated before saying, "I saw you got shot too. You better let a nurse check it out..."

Mountain Eagle froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I’m fine; the bullet hit the bullet-proof vest."

Sofia nodded slightly and didn’t continue to persuade him, but Anna, on the other hand, became anxious...

She rushed to Mountain Eagle’s side, grabbing his tactical vest, and said, "Take it off and let me see...

FUCK, you have an important mission, do you understand?"

Looking at Anna’s persistent manner, Mountain Eagle, irritated, activated the Sergeant System to retract the conspicuous Telos Armor from his body, then unzipped his tactical vest, unbuttoned his shirt, and lifted his T-shirt, saying, "Look, look quickly..."

Anna pressed down on Mountain Eagle’s slightly bruised ribs, and seeing Mountain Eagle grimace and leap away, she frowned and said irritably, "You’ve been shot, and you’re still trying to act all tough?"

Mountain Eagle put his clothes back on and watched as Anna, pulling a nurse over, asked her to prepare an ice pack for him. He shook his head helplessly, not wanting to explain further...

In reality, he had come to Moscow with a minor rib injury, but the support from the Telos Armor made it less obvious in his daily actions.

A bullet had hit his injured spot again, and despite the double protection of the bullet-proof vest and Telos Armor, it still aggravated his earlier rib injury.

It wasn’t particularly severe, but it looked somewhat scary; however, it did not have much of an impact on Mountain Eagle’s mobility.

Mountain Eagle didn’t care, but Irina beside him covered her mouth and began to cry...

The young girl’s tear-stained eyes looked at Mountain Eagle, and she said, "I’m sorry, it’s all because of me, I’m really sorry..."

Mountain Eagle couldn’t stand to see a well-behaved child cry. He walked over to Irina, ruffled her hair with his hand, and said with a smile, "It’s not related to you. Good people don’t need to apologize for the bad things bad people do!"

Just as Irina was holding Mountain Eagle’s hand, wanting to speak, a flurry of footsteps came from not far away...

Then two female voices were heard shouting...

"Irina, my darling..."

"Peter, my child, are you alright?"
