Chapter 32: Chapter 32: God’s Will or Devil’s Work

Mountain Eagle didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that staying here under these circumstances could easily get him into trouble, so he planned to leave Bangkok for Kamui today...

He didn’t rush to leave the shopping mall; instead, he bought everything he needed there.

A suitcase, a few sets of clothes, some pairs of shoes, and small items like sunscreen.

He decided to give up on the idea of traveling to Kamui by car and chose to fly instead.

According to Blood Fox’s advice, making his movements traceable when the other party didn’t understand him at all was actually a form of protection.

After shopping in the mall, Mountain Eagle ate something at a nearby restaurant and took the opportunity to check the phone he had taken from the dead man...

The phone wasn’t a smartphone but a flip phone with a color screen.

Mountain Eagle couldn’t understand Thai, but he found a blurry photo in the phone’s album...

He recognized at a glance that it was a photo of himself at Old Jin’s Mansion, surrounded by three armed guards, standing by the elevator waiting.

Due to the angle, the photo was not only blurry, but it only captured most of his head and half of his face.

The equipment and angle were such that one couldn’t even determine Mountain Eagle’s approximate height from the photo.

At this moment, Mountain Eagle thoroughly believed Blood Fox’s judgment—the person who offered the bounty had no sincerity.

A bounty of 5 million US Dollars sounded intimidating, but without a clear target, this kind of bounty would only bring a certain level of chaos to the society, and it wouldn’t be much help in finding Mountain Eagle himself.

How could someone confirm the identity of the person in the photo and pay without any proof?

To get the 5 million US Dollar bounty, one would not only have to catch the person but also go to Myanmar to investigate and construct a complete chain of evidence, giving a perfect answer, in order to possibly get the bounty.

That’s something gangs can’t do!

Now, they were just blinded by the huge bounty, and by the time they realized it, this so-called bounty would no longer attract attention.

Completely relieved, Mountain Eagle turned off the phone, broke it, and threw it into the trash bin, then, as he finished his meal and left the restaurant, a commotion suddenly erupted from a small alley across the road from the restaurant...

When Mountain Eagle looked over, he saw Officer Tessa, whom he had just met, being taken hostage by a man in a blue T-shirt, retreating from the alley...

A large group of police officers in uniform were pointing their guns at the man, loudly demanding that he release the hostage...

But the man was very calm and experienced; he seized the pistol from Tessa and, before the pedestrians on the road could react, fired several shots into the sky...

Then, in the ensuing chaos, he shouted loudly a few times, pushed Tessa forcefully towards the entrance of the alley, and then turned to dash onto the road, narrowly avoiding vehicles driving at high speed...

Just as he neared Mountain Eagle, a car, having lost control due to his actions, headed towards a woman pushing a stroller...

Mountain Eagle instinctively wanted to rush over to help the woman, but the Blue-clothed man moved faster, throwing himself onto her and pushing her away with the stroller from the path of the out-of-control vehicle...

However, he himself was hit hard by the front left side of the car, his body tumbling down onto the ground.

A series of events unfolded before Mountain Eagle’s eyes, catching him a bit off guard.

The actions of the Blue-clothed man made it hard for Mountain Eagle to believe he was a bad person...

Mountain Eagle helped the fallen woman and baby stroller up amid the surrounding people’s exclamations. After checking and finding no serious problem, just as he was about to leave this place of trouble, he saw Tessa, who was sprinting across the road, wildly gesturing at him...

Mountain Eagle instantly realized something. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure staggering towards him. It must be Blue-clothed man, knowing he couldn’t escape, trying to take him hostage...

Without time to dodge, Mountain Eagle instinctively dropped what was in his hand and raised his right arm to shield his neck. Then, as Blue-clothed man pointed the gun at his head, his left hand grabbed the slide of the pistol, followed by a forceful twist, contorting the pistol along with Blue-clothed man’s right hand into a twisted angle...

Then, in the instant that the Blue-clothed man had no choice but to release the handgun, Mountain Eagle grabbed Blue-clothed man’s left upper arm that was encircling his neck with his right hand, stepped back with his left leg between the Blue-clothed man’s legs, then bent down and exerted force, flipping Blue-clothed man to the ground with a back throw...

A normal person would certainly lose their ability to move after a hit like that, but Blue-clothed man was clearly trained. As his body flipped, his right hand hooked onto Mountain Eagle’s neck, using the momentum to lessen the blow...

After hitting the ground, Blue-clothed man swiped his left hand at his waist, then a flash of cold light struck towards Mountain Eagle’s waist.

With a forceful contraction of his abdomen, Mountain Eagle jumped away from Blue-clothed man’s dagger and was about to counterattack when Tessa with the officers rushed over, gun aimed at Blue-clothed man whose right leg was somewhat contorted, loudly saying something in Thai...

In this situation, Blue-clothed man revealed a bitter expression on his face, dropped the dagger he held, and proficiently lay face down on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Language barriers were a big problem for Mountain Eagle; up to now, he still didn’t know what had happened exactly.

That Blue-clothed man was ferocious, but Mountain Eagle instinctively felt that this guy might not be a bad person.

Watching several officers pounce on and handcuff Blue-clothed man on the ground, Mountain Eagle slightly shook his head, not knowing whether to say something when Tessa, with an ashen face, walked up to him, pointing to the Glock 17 in his hand, and said, "This is my service pistol..."

Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment, then flipped his hand to hold the slide of the Glock and handed the gun to the grim-faced Tessa...

"What happened?"

Seeing Mountain Eagle cooperate like this, Tessa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This guy is the assailant from the massage parlor. After committing the crime there, he didn’t escape and instead committed a massacre in the building across the street."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the still-shaken woman, then at Blue-clothed man, who was being propped up by the officers, his right leg limp and utterly powerless, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This guy had a leg injury before, if not for saving the mother and child, he wouldn’t have been hurt so badly...

Why did he attack me?

Who exactly is he?

What was he yelling across the street just now?"

Tessa, now having her service pistol back and feeling much better, thought for a moment in response to Mountain Eagle’s questions and said, "He’s injured; he knew he couldn’t escape, so he was trying to take you hostage just now...

He’s a retired soldier from the 191 Special Operations Squadron; he just confessed he is the target of the Bangkok gang and admitted involvement in several recent murder cases...

He requested our help to find his daughter..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, looking at the few individuals across the street who were clearly not ordinary passersby, and hesitated before saying, "Is it possible that what he said wasn’t meant for you to hear?"

Tessa, startled by his words, turned to look at the crowd across the street, realized the issue, and loudly called her fellow officers...

"There are gang members on the opposite side, catch them, and take them all back..."

Several officers, upon hearing the command, crossed the road without hesitation and forcefully arrested a few men who looked like they were up to no good...

But they acted a bit slowly; while they were crossing the road, Mountain Eagle saw a few individuals run against the curious crowd for a bit before blending in and disappearing among them.

The arrested men reeking of gang presence didn’t resist; instead, they knelt down with their hands behind their heads, obediently squatting on the ground, eyes fixed on the Blue-clothed man though.

Mountain Eagle sensed something but wasn’t quite clear about what it was...
