Chapter 72: Chapter 72 International Intermediary Websites

Mountain Eagle didn’t quibble over the commission with Blood Fox because he could sense that Blood Fox was fostering some habits in him with his methods.

It was goodwill he had to accept!

After hanging up the phone, Mountain Eagle received a website link and a login password on his mobile phone.

Mountain Eagle opened his computer again, entered the website following the link, and to his surprise, he discovered that the so-called International Intermediary Company had actually set up a semi-public web page.

Without a login password, what one would see on the webpage was a mercenary website, which was quite well-made, but looking at its layout, Mountain Eagle felt it resembled those home massage service websites.

The website featured a chubby, middle-aged Caucasian man at the top of the page, with the codename ’White Whale’, and below that were five stars, indicating that his credibility was maxed out...

This guy also had a series of titles under his belt...

Middleman, Lawyer, Trust Administrator, Florida Pharmaceutical Company Representative...

If these titles were printed on a business card, anyone viewing it in real life would think this guy was a scammer!

Below ’White Whale’s’ photo were pictures of a squad of masked soldiers and a shadowy figure, captioned "Arctic Fox" and "Ripper" respectively.

Clearly, ’Arctic Fox’ represented mercenaries and ’Ripper’ represented assassins.

Clicking on the expandable section below the photos, inside were numerous team names and assassin names densely packed.

There were quite a few brash ones that didn’t even bother with mosaic on their photos, revealing themselves boldly on the website for others to see. Some of the more audacious ones even wrote somewhat juvenile declarations below...

For instance: Arctic Fox is trash, we are the world’s number one...

Or: Ripper is just a lucky freak, I am the best assassin...

Seeing such things made it hard for Mountain Eagle to imagine he had entered a serious website aimed at profiting from a life-risking platform.

So not serious!

However, when Mountain Eagle logged in using Blood Fox’s account, the webpage underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

Those promotional photos disappeared, replaced by a scrolling marquee occupying one-third of the screen that displayed various mission briefings at an extremely slow pace.

The website would use various colors as markers, depending on the VIP level of the person issuing the mission.

High-level VIP mission issuers could set the missions not to display to lower-level registered mercenaries or assassins based on their needs, or open them to everyone.

And around the scrolling screen, like a message board, were the needs of mercenaries and assassins written all over, where they exchanged information, purchased weapons, and even arranged to meet...

Due to the large number of people on the website, the public areas seemed somewhat chaotic and disorganized.

But the moment Mountain Eagle opened Blood Fox’s personal page, it felt as if the whole world went silent.

It was a simple screen with a white background and black text, recording the missions Blood Fox had completed over the past three years, and briefings were attached when opened.

The most recent one was the briefing on Blood Fox receiving the vengeance insurance and the bounty for the death of the big boss Daqili through the International Intermediary Company.

When Mountain Eagle clicked into the personal page, Blood Fox’s personal mailbox kept bouncing.

Out of curiosity, he opened it and found a mission briefing and accompanying materials.

After skilfully clicking on download, Mountain Eagle browsed with some interest through Blood Fox’s mission briefings from the past three years.

The old guy hadn’t taken any high-value missions the past three years, only picking up some investigator’s tasks to earn money.

Apart from the most recent one, over the past three years, he had worked 15 times in total, killed 6 groups of rule-breaking employers and mercenaries, but only earned a commission of 300,000 US dollars...

Because he basically only got 10% for summoning the ’executor’ from the International Intermediary Company to do the job after investigating and clarifying the facts.

Only this time in the Golden Triangle did he take the full bounty of 500,000 US Dollars for revenge insurance, and he also took Naokan’s bounty.

Mountain Eagle did not expect that the biggest deal Blood Fox had made in the past three years was actually related to himself.

Mountain Eagle understood that this was a response from Blood Fox for his honesty about the Bangkok time...

Mutual trust is built on mutual understanding; without equivalence, it becomes easy to encounter problems when faced with the complexities of human nature.

Blood Fox is a true old gun of the underworld; faced with such a situation, he chose to reveal his secrets to Mountain Eagle.

It’s really comfortable to deal with these old timers; they might be rude in speech and rough in action, but you just can’t help trusting them.

While browsing through Blood Fox’s past tasks, Mountain Eagle received a notification that the document download was complete...

Mountain Eagle closed the page and opened the basic information provided by the client who posted the task.

The information contained Vilter’s records, which, despite some parts being blacked out, gave Mountain Eagle a more profound understanding of Vilter Jackson, whom he had killed...

Vilter Jackson, from Texas, is a native of Cedar Mountain...

He made his fortune by contracting external projects for US Army overseas bases, starting with testing electronic equipment for Peninsula US Army and then realizing that finding women for stationing US soldiers was even more profitable, and from there it was unstoppable.

Not only does he have a brothel in Bahrain, but he also set up brothels in Peninsula and the island country in partnership with locals, bringing cheap girls from all over Southeast Asia to prostitute...

However, the Peninsula and island country brothels were barely within limits, while the Bahrain brothel was simply a flesh mill.

The sexual repression in the Arab region is extremely severe, leading American soldiers there to get ideas even upon seeing a man’s buttocks.

Those energetic bastards never saw women as human beings, especially women from Southeast Asia.

When a person can abuse without accountability, things are bound to develop in an unfavorable direction.

The documents detailed Vilter’s connections with certain individuals in the United States Military, with several names also highlighted in red ink...

Just Font, Jack Saruman, Alfred Kulet...

The notes stated that these people were the higher-ups of a terrorist organization in Southeast Asia and that Vilter Jackson had close ties with them.

At the end of the documentation, it was specifically stated that the real cause of Vilter Jackson’s death needed to be investigated.

Furthermore, it required obtaining information from Bangkok police and crime scene photographs, as well as reviewing check-in records at Bangkok luxury hotels recently to verify if the marked individuals had visited Bangkok during this period and if they were related to the death of Vilter Jackson.

That’s when Mountain Eagle finally understood why CIA wasn’t doing this themselves and instead set up a tiered bounty payment system.

This was basically a chore of sorting data and visiting hotels, with the only slightly technical part being obtaining reports from the police...

Investigating hotel guests was pure drudgery, and with so many luxury hotels in Bangkok, an international metropolis, finding a few people was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the CIA wasn’t even sure if the people on the list had actually come to Bangkok?

Seeing this information, Mountain Eagle was completely reassured...

Because although the information given by the CIA might be true, the relationship between Vilter and the terrorist organization leaders was definitely not as they claimed...

To this day, Mountain Eagle still remembers when Vilter, mistaking him for a CIA agent, was afraid of his mission failure causing a loss of 20 million US Dollars to the CIA.

These terrorist organization leaders might just be the same people who caused the CIA to lose the 20 million.

For Mountain Eagle, this was good news; even better news was that the information provided by the CIA had the details of Vilter’s Pattaya North District residence and frequent hotel stays, but it lacked information about the hidden Sky Park Apartment...

It’s possible that the CIA doesn’t know about Vilter’s secretly purchased apartment; that one million might still have a chance...
