Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Long-Term Mechanism

In the hospital ward...

When the first ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window onto Mountain Eagle’s face, he sat up from the attendant’s bed where he had been resting.

Butcher and Pigeon had bought breakfast from outside and were eating on the sofa under the window sill.

The unlucky Post Box was lying on the bed, watching Butcher and Pigeon eat breakfast without getting him any, incessantly muttering complaints about their lack of loyalty.

Seeing the boss awake, Post Box began to raise his voice...

"Give me some, just a bit, I’m really hungry..."

Looking at Pirate, who had awakened from the anesthesia, Mountain Eagle swung out of bed, and as he passed by Post Box, he patted the guy on the body and said, "The doctor said you can only eat the nutritional meals provided by the hospital, I don’t know what that is, but it’s said to be not cheap...

The food costs several thousand rubles a day, you better not waste it."

Post Box, upon hearing this, pointed weakly at the tray on the bedside cabinet and said, "Boss, I think you might have been duped. With several thousand rubles a day, I can only eat this stuff?"

When Mountain Eagle looked over, he saw a few jelly-like things on the tray and several tubes of milky-white nutritional fluid sealed in plastic bags.

This stuff indeed looked unappetizing, but since the money had been spent, he had to follow the doctor’s advice and insist Post Box stick with it.

Mountain Eagle picked up a ’jelly’ and sniffed it, laughing as he said, "Not bad at all, it’s apple-flavored. If it’s not enough, you can call the nurse for more."

Post Box knew the boss was looking out for his well-being, he sighed and said, "Alright, I understand..."

Mountain Eagle reassuringly patted Post Box’s shoulder and said with a smile, "The doctor said your back surgery went smoothly, you should be able to get out of bed and move around in about a week, and then you can sort out your own meals."

Speaking of which, Mountain Eagle went over to Pirate’s side, looking at his pale face, and said, "The doctor said you were lucky, the bullet went through your intestines but didn’t damage any vital organs.

After a month or two, you should be able to fully recover..."

Pigeon, holding a sandwich, came over to Pirate’s side, laughing as he said, "Those doctors gave your intestines a bath because your stomach was full of shit, haha..."

The weak Pirate flipped Pigeon the bird, then looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Sorry boss, I might not be able to be of help for a while."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "There’s nothing to apologize for, getting injured was part of the job working with me...

I pay you guys to do this kind of work, so I won’t apologize, but since you are my employees and got injured on the job, I will take responsibility for you to the end.

All the medical and rehabilitation expenses are on me, your salary will continue as usual, and there will be an extra year’s salary as a bonus..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the weak Pirate and said solemnly, "You and Post Box just stay put here, Butcher, Pigeon, and I have things to take care of.

I want those who attacked us to pay a blood debt!

Nobody harms my people without paying a price!"

Mountain Eagle’s statement touched all four of Butcher’s group...

Mountain Eagle’s commitment gave these men, who earned their living by risking their lives, a strong sense of belonging, relegating the importance of money to the background.

To be honest, Pirate and the others, with a yearly salary of only 6000 US dollars, giving him this sum as a bonus would be inconsistent with Mountain Eagle’s generous image as a boss.

However, just like young people in the country who are fixated on squeezing into the system, the more Mountain Eagle meticulously perfects the employment agreement between both parties and continuously refines the details during their interactions, the more he can make people like Butcher feel sincerity and security.

This is how Mountain Eagle is different from Blood Fox and the others...

Having seen the precedent set by Arctic Fox, he would absolutely not resort to blood oaths, instead choosing to establish a long-term secure mechanism...

This could effectively filter through the ever-increasing number of subordinates, retaining those who seek stability and allowing those who are impulsive and want to get rich quick to leave on their own.

Just like this time, Peter has promised to fork out 1 million Euros as protection and compensation, given any slight dissatisfaction shown by Pirate and his crew, Mountain Eagle would divide the money up and disband them.

But Pirate clearly preferred Mountain Eagle’s proposed long-term, secure mechanism, which gave Mountain Eagle the confidence to continue advancing the content of the agreement between them, incorporating them into his long-term plans, while gradually perfecting the details.

Mountain Eagle was after a long-term enterprise and thus sought to build a lasting mechanism to manage his growing number of subordinates.

Clearly, Mountain Eagle’s approach had moved Butcher and his crew...

Butcher walked over to Pirate’s side, slapped his shoulder forcefully, and said, "Take good care of yourself, I’ll follow the boss to get our blood debt back!"

Just as Pirate was about to say something, the door to the ward was pushed open...

Daria strode in and said with a serious tone, "Count me in..."

Just as Mountain Eagle was about to shake his head and refuse, Anna and a dark-eyed Sofia walked into the ward...

"Take Daria with you, you’re short on people, she can help!"

Anna interrupted before Mountain Eagle could refuse and then said earnestly, "I’m still against you getting involved in this, but since it’s already come to this, I’ll support you with all my might.

I have a lot to deal with and can’t stay here, but regarding the security issue at the hospital, I’ll arrange for the external staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be in charge."

Shao Yigu is very conscientious; the Chief of the Moscow Police Department has already been waiting outside for a long time...

But it’s going to be somewhat difficult for you with your identity to command him. It’s better if Daria helps you coordinate.

She has an ID from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Such goodwill cannot be refused!

Looking at Daria’s resolute expression, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Then let’s move together. You go find two cars now; we’ll set off in an hour."

Anna watched Daria turn and leave the hospital room, then with a frown, she looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Action? Where did you get the intel from?"

Mountain Eagle naturally couldn’t tell Anna that it was the surveillance by Crow on those fleeing people that had paid off, and now they were hiding in a village in the eastern suburb of Moscow...

Seeing Anna’s curious look, Mountain Eagle smiled mysteriously and said, "That’s business secret, don’t ask too much..."

Anna glanced at Sofia, who had been quiet all along, and with some realization, she said, "Right, I won’t ask then..."

Anna clearly misunderstood, thinking it must be Sofia who provided the intel for the action.

Mountain Eagle did not explain but instead waved his hands and said, "Since you’ve got things to do, then hurry along.

Before you leave, remember to have Daria communicate with the Moscow Police Department. I don’t need them to act with me, but I do need their cooperation in blocking certain places when necessary and to come in for the cleanup at the end.

The ones we are going to take down are terrorists; we’re not expecting to claim any credit anyway, and the police can benefit from dealing with the bodies at the end.

With a common interest, maybe they’ll be more agreeable!"

Anna looked somewhat wistfully at Mountain Eagle, who always seemed to be alert, and she nodded, "Got it, I’m on it!"

As she spoke, Anna, perhaps feeling that her subconscious obedience was a bit off, glared at Mountain Eagle, who took it for granted, and said, "Be careful!

The situation in Moscow is very complex; don’t get yourself into even more troublesome situations."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "I know, I know. Just arrange your things and scoot off..."

Anna, looking at Mountain Eagle who was rushing her, said annoyedly, "You’re in such a hurry to send me away, so you figure out how to handle Peter and his mother yourself."

"Do you really think they need protection?

That Peter is a fool, but his mother certainly is not!

They are staying here to send a message to Constantin Malofeyev; they want either an explanation or compensation.

I have some suspicions about Kirill, but I’m not sure if he’s really involved.

Even if it was Kirill who did it, at this point, the first thing he’d have to do is clear his own name.

Even if he wished Peter and his mother were dead sooner, he has to fiercely protect them now, because if anything happens to Peter, he’s the prime suspect.

Constantin Malofeyev isn’t even sixty; such magnates live long lives. That Kirill seems smart; he knows what he should do."

On hearing this, Anna said irritably, "If that’s the case, why did you offend Kirill to death?

That guy has taken over his father’s Virtual Coin business; he has a lot of liquid assets at hand, and he’s also a main financier for the Udong side.

Offending him does you no good!"

Mountain Eagle didn’t want to explain clearly to Anna the issue of positioning and alignment because Boss Pu was still superficially in the honeymoon phase with the ’Locust Russia faction.’

This matter can’t be clarified in a few words, and even if it’s explained thoroughly, it could easily distort Anna’s actions.

So, Mountain Eagle put on an impatient act and waved his hand, saying, "That’s my problem, hurry up and deal with your own things. My issues, I will handle by myself.

Even Shao Yigu isn’t worried, so what are you worried about?"

Having finally sent Anna away, Mountain Eagle looked at Sofia, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, and said, "You look like you haven’t slept at all. Any news?"

Sofia nodded and said, "I found the place where they’re holding my accountant captive; I want to rescue him first."

Mountain Eagle glanced at his watch, then nodded and said, "Give me the address; I have to take a trip to the eastern suburb first, take out the people who ambushed us yesterday, and then I’ll go rescue your accountant."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the tired Sofia and shook his head, "You should have connected with Matthias. If you have tasks, let him take care of them...

You need to let yourself rest or what will you do if you collapse before the enemy does?"

Sofia, expressionless, nodded and said, "I know, I will meet up with Matthias and scout out the place where the accountant is held first, then wait for you to join up.

Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, and I know how to take care of myself!"

Mountain Eagle looked at Sofia’s determined eyes, he slightly nodded and said, "As long as you know how to take care of yourself, that’s good..."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle saw Daria approaching from a distance, he patted Sofia’s shoulder, then turned back to look at Butcher and Pigeon, and said in a deep voice, "Get ready, we’re departing soon...

Collecting debts is always best done sooner rather than later!"
