Chapter 268: Chapter 267: The Second Generation is One Family

The caller to Mountain Eagle was Tom...

Mountain Eagle wasn’t at all surprised by Tom’s mention of the Boatman Gang impersonating the Asabaev Organization and seeking revenge this way.

He had heard of this ’Boatman Gang’ and had been briefed on its background by Eddie and Mr. Poincaré.

This unimpressive-sounding ’Boatman Gang’ is actually an international smuggling ring that spans several countries in Southeast Asia.

And their boss is Fayiz, who is known as the Pirate King of Southeast Asia!

This guy once skinned and gutted a CIA agent and dumped them into the United States Embassy in the Philippines, and then declared war on both the Philippine Government and the United States Navy at the same time. In the end, he forced the Philippines to compromise with even fiercer methods.

To conceal their identities, members of the Asabaev Organization killed everyone at a Boatman Gang stronghold located in Kamui.

Mountain Eagle was not surprised that the Boatman Gang wanted revenge.

What really surprised Mountain Eagle was that Tom hadn’t died!

Mountain Eagle was curious about how this guy got tangled up in the CIA’s internal issues and how he knew that the ’Boatman Gang’ was going to hijack a cruise ship.

But when he tried to call back, the voice on the other end indicated that Tom had turned off his phone.

After putting down the phone, he saw Taigore yelling at the telephone a few times, then he hung up, walked over, and said, "The plane is arranged, we take off in half an hour.

The plane will land at a parachuting club north of Phuket Island, I have contacted military personnel, they will prepare a helicopter there for you."

Saying this, Taigore looked at Mountain Eagle with a bit of guilt and said, "Mountain, the police forces are scarce around Bangkok right now, and without enough evidence, I can’t mobilize more troops. However, my cousin Tai Meng has already set out from the sea off Kamui with his team...

It’s just that he hasn’t been with the coast guard for long, and the effective forces he can mobilize are very limited.

If your information is true, then..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I’m doing this voluntarily!

I only have one request, don’t let any of them get away.

Shasili took a bullet in the shoulder to save me and Tessa, that girl’s been through so much hardship...

I can’t make her life sweet, but I can make those who hurt her taste something even more bitter."

Taigore nodded solemnly and said, "Those people were actually targeting me too, I promise they won’t escape.

Mountain, I don’t want to negotiate!"

Mountain Eagle understood Taigore’s intention; this guy also didn’t want to let these people go. But if Mountain Eagle’s information was true and the other party managed to board the cruise ship and took the passengers hostage, Thailand would be left with no grounds to resist.

Thailand is a tourist country, and if they make a significant blunder in handling the safety of foreign tourists’ lives and property, the loss could be greater than that of a coup.

There’s no need for tourists to boycott; the cruise companies would sue the Thai Government to the point of embarrassment.

For places like Phuket Island, regularly docked large cruise ships are an important source of high-quality tourists, and if these are listed as ’danger zones’ by major cruise ship companies, Phuket Island could lose millions of tourists every year.

Seeing the anxiety in Taigore’s eyes, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Then our thoughts align, rest assured, I’ll do my best!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at Tessa, who was making phone calls to coordinate with Phuket Island and said to Taigore, "Let Tessa come with me to Phuket Island, I need someone who can coordinate the police forces there.

It takes a long time to prepare to hijack a cruise ship, I need accurate information to track and pinpoint the exact target.

These are things Tessa needs to handle!"

Taigore nodded and said, "No problem, let Tessa accompany you to Phuket Island.

Mountain, I always feel that these people want more than just to frame the Asafiye Organization!

They’re trying to intimidate me and probably have made similar threats to others; there must be demands they want to make...

Hijacking a cruise ship is bound to shock the world, and if true, I fear Thailand will pay a heavy price.

I can’t let that happen!"

Mountain Eagle agreed with Taigore’s thoughts, nodded heavily, and said, "You take care of Bangkok and Pattaya; I’ll handle the issue at Phuket Island.

You need to be prepared; I don’t know how many people the opponent will have or how they plan to hijack the cruise ship, so I can’t limit myself."

Upon hearing this, Taigore nodded emphatically and said, "Mountain, just eliminate them all, leave the rest to me.

I promise no one will criticize you, and if there are any problems, I will take responsibility!"

For Taigore to say these things showed how desperate he was...

Of course, Mountain Eagle wouldn’t naively think that someone from such a prominent family as Taigore would genuinely bear all the adverse consequences.

But the fact that he could say these words meant that if a reasonable outcome could be achieved in the end, it would greatly enhance their relationship.

If things really did come to the worst, it would be Mountain Eagle’s duty as a temporary worker to step forward and take all the blame, preserving the relationship with Thailand and putting the other party in his debt.

However, at this moment, Mountain Eagle wasn’t thinking about that. His only thought was to make the ’Boatman Gang’ pay!

I don’t care what your scheme is, the moment you point a gun at me and harm someone I care about, it’s a fight to the death!

After giving instructions on the scene, Mountain Eagle drove Tessa and Daria straight to Utabo Airport...

Taigore had prepared for them a Pilatus PC-12 propeller commuter plane...

By the time Mountain Eagle and his team reached the runway, the plane had already started.

A handsome young man in his thirties was waiting by the plane, holding a flight helmet. He laughed and gave Tessa a firm hug when he saw her, saying, "I came as soon as I got a call from Taigore...

It’s an honor to serve you, Miss Paisonco!"

Tessa pushed her middle finger against the young man’s face, then, hooking her arm with Mountain Eagle’s, she said, "This is my boyfriend Mountain, and you’d better keep your distance, you bastard, or he’ll beat you up!"

The young man had a cheerful personality. Hearing Tessa’s introduction, he posed in a boxing stance and playfully threw a few punches into the air in front of Mountain Eagle, then grinned and said, "Buddy, treat Tessa well, or I’ll have to beat you!"

Tessa rolled her eyes and pulled Mountain Eagle along, saying, "His name is Kadite; his father is the Minister of Transport in Thailand."

Tessa then gave Kadite a stare as his attention shifted to Daria, and kicked his shin, scolding, "Can you hurry up? We’re short on time!"

Kadite patted the plane’s fuselage with the back of his hand and smiled, "Don’t worry, my baby’s all set. We’ll arrive in Phuket Island in less than two hours."

Mountain Eagle liked this guy’s personality, but right now he really didn’t have time to listen to this rich kid show off his beloved plane.

So, he took out his pistol from the bag and hung it on his waist, then stepped onto the boarding ladder and said while climbing, "We’re really in a rush, we can talk on the way!"

Kadite clearly wasn’t aware of Mountain Eagle’s mission, but when he saw several guns in Mountain Eagle’s bag, and then looked at Tessa and Daria’s similar bags, he nodded decisively and boarded the plane. Once everyone was confirmed on board, he contacted the control tower...

The son of the Minister of Transport was different indeed. The busy Utabo Airport control tower didn’t make him wait a minute, giving him a runway clearance to take off as quickly as possible.

After a rapid takeoff, once the plane reached the prescribed altitude, Kadite set the autopilot mode, then signaled to the pilot on the co-pilot seat to watch the plane as he came back to the cabin.

Seeing Tessa busy making calls, Kadite didn’t dare to disturb her, so he sat down next to Mountain Eagle, pointed to a large bag at his feet, and said, "What are you going to do in Phuket Island? Is there a police operation? Do you need my help?"

Mountain Eagle, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the eager Kadite, saying, "We’ve received intelligence that someone is planning to hijack a tourist cruise ship. We need to get there to stop them."

"Cruise ship? Hijack?"

Kadite exclaimed with disbelief, "Are you joking?"

Then, looking back at Daria who was busily loading bullets into the magazines, and watching this blonde, buxom woman arrange several boxes of ammunition on the tray next to her, then pressing 9mm bullets one by one into the UMP45 submachine gun magazine...

The diligently working Daria had a charm of her own, causing Kadite to become momentarily entranced, subconsciously saying, "Need a hand, beauty?"

Mountain Eagle was amused by Kadite’s shift in focus and gently shook his head, waving his hand in front of Kadite, "Sir, we’re really pressed for time, so we need you to get us to our destination as quickly as possible.

Believe me, this situation is serious. Even if you manage to get us there a minute earlier, it might change the outcome."

After Kadite regained his senses, he furrowed his brows and said, "You’re serious?

Pirate activity hasn’t been seen in the waters around Thailand for many years. Even if there is, what can a few of you do?"

Kadite looked at Mountain Eagle, who didn’t seem eager to explain further, and raised an eyebrow skeptically. But seeing Tessa’s impatient glance, he said, "Do you know which cruise ship is the pirates’ target?

Maybe I could help you check."

Mountain Eagle gave it some thought and said, "We don’t know the exact target of the aggressors, but based on my judgment, they won’t go for a ship that has already docked.

We need to filter out the cruise ships that have just entered the waters near Phuket Island or are about to enter Thai waters.

These people are specifically targeting Thailand, so they will definitely take action only after those ships enter Thai waters.

There’s a daily limit on the number of cruise ships docking at Phuket Island, so there can’t be too many that meet these criteria.

I need those cruise ships’ numbers, locations, and ideally, the passenger list!

This will make it easier for us to determine which ship is more likely to be attacked and give us the opportunity to warn them."

Kadite might look like a fun-loving person, but he was the son of a high official and understood the importance and urgency of matters better than most, and he also recognized the risks and opportunities involved in this affair.

Seeing Tessa growing impatient, he took out his satellite phone and said, "I’ll call my friends right now, and we’ll have the information you need before we land.

Tessa, don’t worry, we’re friends, and I’ve got your back!

I have many friends in Phuket, just tell me what you need, there’s no need to be polite with me!"
