Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Let It Be

Mountain Eagle’s "thank you" had not a trace of politeness...

He had spent a considerable amount of time in St. Petersburg, enough to understand the old Russians to some extent.

Blood Fox displayed intelligence, generosity, and boldness, a stark contrast to those greedy Russians involved in business operations he had known before.

Honestly speaking, Blood Fox did not perform as lethally as Mountain Eagle in the two battles they fought side by side, but this old guy had rich experience and connections...

Although the plan he devised was not fully executed, he still managed to leverage the situation to secure some compensation in the end.

This is a characteristic of the old-school KGB; they were result-oriented, got Naokan’s bounty, and it was enough that the big drug lord was taken down...

Even if there were some unexpected events during the process, causing even greater slaughter and conflicts, it didn’t prevent them from considering it a successful operation.

Mountain Eagle was not used to Blood Fox’s style in the early days...

During discussions, he raised many questions and wanted to establish more contingency plans, but they were all vetoed...

At that time, he was somewhat unconvinced, even doubting Blood Fox’s professionalism when he encountered Naokan at Old Jin’s estate, but now as he lay in bed reflecting, he realized his own faults.

A perfect plan exists only in people’s imagination, setting goals and achieving them is the core of a plan.

Any accidents can occur during the process, and being able to complete the mission in a complex environment is what truly defines a master.

It may sound simplistic and blunt, but reality is that when you lack sufficient resources just for planning on paper.

The more you think before acting, the more manpower, funds, and equipment you will need to fulfill your needs for the contingency plans.

The rise in the cost of manpower, funds, and equipment is just one aspect; the most serious issue is that humans themselves are an uncontrollable variable, especially for mercenaries, more people means more problems are likely to arise.

The business of mercenaries is different from running a conventional business; some opportunities are fleeting, and if missed, even if you produce a detailed mission report, the client won’t pay you an extra penny.

In fact, in Daqili’s mission, Blood Fox performed much more maturely than Mountain Eagle, infiltrating the gathering early to provide insurance for Mountain Eagle in case of any incident.

If it hadn’t been for Mountain Eagle’s insistence on taking down Old Jin, even if Blood Fox went down to the basement to rescue Mountain Eagle, they might have had the chance to safely escape the estate with external cover.

But that’s all in the past, talking about it doesn’t matter.

In the case of a set outcome, Blood Fox simply didn’t discuss the problems that occurred in the process with Mountain Eagle, even though he lost a finger in the end, he had no complaints...

If he were a professional soldier, what Mountain Eagle did would undoubtedly be deemed unqualified.

But from the standpoint of a mercenary, Mountain Eagle simply made a choice based on his personality, and Blood Fox chose to help him.

This was what truly touched Mountain Eagle and led him to completely let his guard down regarding Blood Fox!

Another important point is that, in Old Jin’s estate’s basement and gambling hall, Mountain Eagle grabbed 18 kilograms of Gold all at once.

And he plans to use this portion of Gold to enhance the Sergeant System and activate more equipment data.

It’s also a spoil of war; others share their loot with you, you hide the loot you grab...

This inevitably made Mountain Eagle feel somewhat guilty!

If initially Mountain Eagle thought of parting ways with Blood Fox after wrapping things up, he doesn’t think so now...

The Sergeant System cannot be exposed, but the value it brings him can be showcased...

In the past, the environment and profession made the value of the Sergeant System significantly discounted, but now things are different...

Mountain Eagle still somewhat resists the notion of mercenary being an underworld occupation, but this doesn’t stop him from utilizing the debt to maintain relations with Blood Fox while he delves deeper into understanding the workings of the underworld and gradually finds better profitability models.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Mountain Eagle naturally let his guard down and is ready to cooperate fully with Blood Fox.

Watching Blood Fox sitting on the sofa, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Give me US$60,000 as my share, I need to make some preparations...

Rest assured, I will pay back the money I owe you as soon as possible!"

Blood Fox was very satisfied with Mountain Eagle’s statement...

Because Mountain Eagle had never shown the slightest greed for the bounty provided by Naokan and the revenge bounty from the International Intermediary Company.

It was Mountain Eagle who had proposed this deal early on, he had made a commitment, and even though a series of problems occurred during the execution, he never tried to go back on his word.

Attention to detail is a true reflection of a person’s character, which is very important to Blood Fox, an old man.

He was born in the KGB, but after leaving, he helped create the renowned Arctic Fox Mercenary Group, which insures all of its members and even promises to take care of each other’s family descendants.

The career in the Arctic Fox was the highlight of Blood Fox’s life; he was accustomed to and enjoyed that atmosphere, so he definitely chose people with good character.

Mountain Eagle’s personality, record, and decisiveness perfectly met Blood Fox’s needs.

Watching Mountain Eagle’s serious expression, Blood Fox smiled, took out a stack of US dollars and a cell phone and placed them on his bedside table, saying, "Here is US$10,000 in cash, the remaining US$50,000 will be converted to 1.8 million Thai Baht and deposited into your bank account.

It seems you are a thoughtful person, then you should try to adapt to life in Thailand.

I’ve already settled the hospital fees, remember not to reveal our identities to the hospital staff, because you did not have an identity then, so no registration was made here.

The cell phone contains my and Mi Lu’s phone numbers, call us when you get to Kamui."

Blood Fox’s arrangements saved Mountain Eagle a lot of trouble...

US$60,000 is not a lot, and in Thailand, a tourist country, it can be easily exchanged into Thai Baht through multiple transactions in various locations.

It is easy to spend money in Thailand, no one checks the spender, but once you want to buy something beyond regular consumer goods, cash becomes less practical.

Mountain Eagle needs to buy some raw materials for system manufacturing tools through legitimate channels, and these transactions are very inconvenient with cash and can attract attention.

This is why money laundering has become one of the most important businesses in the Underworld!

With stricter regulations nowadays, unclear sources of money could also become a crime!

Living entirely dependent on the underworld, unless you buy stolen goods, you will find that the price doubles or even more for services related to illegal or borderline activities.

Of course, US$60,000 is far from reaching the level of ’crime’; spending cash openly will most likely not cause trouble.

But frivolous spending can significantly reduce the efficiency of money use, which is unacceptable for those who are tight on funds.

Mountain Eagle solemnly said, "Thank you," then patted his injured leg and said, "Two months, at most two months, and I’ll come find you guys in Kamui...

Blood Fox nodded at the documents placed at the bedside, smiling and said, "I’m not in a hurry, you should carefully read these documents and remember your own ’life story’...

From now on, you are Yue Shan, a Chinese descendant in Thailand!

The murder case against you is not over yet, do not contact your family in the short term, or it might cause them trouble.

If you’re really worried, I can try to arrange for someone to visit them, even deliver some money.

However, they are probably being closely watched, so there are some risks..."

Mountain Eagle listened, his expression dimming for a moment, he nodded and said, "I understand...

No need to bother, I can wait!"

Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle’s somewhat downcast expression, he patted him on the shoulder...

"Welcome to the real world!"
