Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Conflict

Mountain Eagle turned around to return to the living room when a dark shadow passed across the balcony...

Mountain Eagle rubbed his eyes, it seemed like the short, stocky man who had a conflict with him at the breakfast table in the morning was clawing his way past the front of the balcony...

Realizing what had happened, Mountain Eagle rushed to the balcony and looked down to find...

The short, stocky man was screaming loudly, crashing heavily onto the edge of a rooftop swimming pool more than twenty meters below...

Looking at the ghastly sight of the short man’s brains bursting, Mountain Eagle pulled An Ya in horror to show her what had happened...

Then he returned to the living room, sat on the sofa with his hands covering his face pretending to be scared, while carefully observing the situation upstairs...

The Hummingbird Kit couldn’t see detailed images, but the basic shapes fed back allowed Mountain Eagle to roughly ’see’ what was happening upstairs...

Two men were kneeling on the balcony upstairs, and five others were holding guns...

Two gunmen approached one of the kneeling men on the balcony, lifted him up to push him off the building, but mid-way, the lifted man desperately resisted and then got shot in the chest before being thrown out by the two...

As Mountain Eagle looked towards the balcony, he saw another man from the morning’s trio pass by outside the balcony...

Just as those gunmen approached the last woman, Mountain Eagle heard noises from the next door upstairs as well as from his own adjacent room...

Eight armed personnel in a pincer move charged towards the upstairs room, and soon a fierce battle ensued.

The building’s soundproofing was quite good, but the intense gunfire became exceptionally apparent within the enclosed space.

Mountain Eagle saw four men in large suits carrying MP5s pass by the door of his room. As An Ya screamed on the balcony, he stood up, rushed to the door, and forcefully closed it.

"Get to the room, hide, call the police, quickly call the police..."

Mountain Eagle instructed An Ya what to do while carefully monitoring the ongoing battle upstairs.

against 5, attackers had the advantage, but the five people in the room were clearly experienced, using the room’s layout to their advantage to counterattack at the first sign of trouble...

Though the defenders were short three people, they had AKMs, clearly enjoying a firepower advantage.

Watching the aggressive attackers, two were downed at the door, then the remaining faced disagreement between rescuing the injured and continuing the attack, and with a lack of coordination, one trying to drag a wounded away from the line of fire was hit...

The sudden battle surprised Mountain Eagle, but it didn’t disrupt his plan.

What was happening upstairs didn’t concern Mountain Eagle; he had already almost confirmed that the apartment upstairs was the one purchased by Vilter Jackson, and his next step was to find the one million Vilter hid in the apartment and take it away without anyone noticing.

Mountain Eagle activated the maximum power of the Hummingbird, and soon the structure of the upstairs apartment appeared before his eyes.

The image wasn’t particularly clear, but it was enough for Mountain Eagle to locate the hidden compartments and safes in the apartment.

The living room safe was already open, with many banknotes and some miscellaneous items scattered on the floor, clearly indicating a previous struggle had taken place...

However, besides the living room safe, there was another hidden compartment on the balcony...

This hidden compartment was very cunningly designed; it was not located inside the room, but at the junction between the underside of the balcony and the building’s body.

A metal box of the same color as the stairs was affixed in such a place, at the height of the 60th floor, where it’s impossible for an ordinary person to lean out far enough to carefully inspect the position.

Mountain Eagle didn’t know what was hidden in the secret compartment, but he felt that those people fighting upstairs were definitely looking for something very important.

As Mountain Eagle was thinking about this, the fight upstairs took a turn...

The attackers threw two shock bombs into the room, the booming noise caused intense vibrations that were felt in the surrounding rooms, and An Ya, who was crouching inside, covered her head and let out a series of shrill screams...

Meanwhile, the gunmen guarding the room instantly exhibited symptoms of incapacitation...

The attackers at the door seized the opportunity to rush in with their guns, swiftly taking down several guys.

Mountain Eagle ’watched’ the scene upstairs and found it strange...

The 8 attackers were clearly divided into two groups, one of which could not be considered amateurs, but were obviously lacking in experience, resulting in three of them being taken down instantly.

However, the other group was extremely professional, and once they took over the attack, the situation reversed 180 degrees in a matter of seconds.

But just as those four were checking the bodies, a hand grenade exploded...

"Boom..."

A lot of dust fell from the ceiling above Mountain Eagle, he stood up and patted his head...

Glancing at An Ya who was only screaming in the room, Mountain Eagle decisively dashed towards the balcony, stood up on the 1.4-meter-high balcony railing, his left hand holding onto the edge above, and his right hand stretched upwards forcefully, quickly touching the metal box...

He used his fingers to pry open the lid of the box and pinched a plastic sealed bag to pull out its contents.

Without time to see what it was, Mountain Eagle wiped his footprints on the balcony, then placed the items in his backpack and quickly went into the room to pull the frightened An Ya, saying, "It’s not safe here, let’s go fast..."

By the time Mountain Eagle and An Ya fled downstairs as if running for their lives, the apartment’s residents had started evacuating outdoors amid alarm sounds.

Soon, police officials set up a cordon outside the building, while a squad of the Thai Army entered the inside of the building.

Nearly half an hour later, 8 body bags and several injured were carried out, among them was the brown-haired woman Mountain Eagle had seen earlier that morning.

The woman’s condition was fairly good; as soon as she walked out of the building, she started making a phone call with a very serious expression...

It wasn’t long before a car bearing the United States flag and a military truck arrived at the scene, a white-haired man got out of the car and spoke briefly with the Thai officer in charge, then a squad of soldiers from the Marine Corps disembarked from the truck...

Observing the US Army entering the scene, Mountain Eagle felt he had seen enough excitement, he patted the terrified An Ya’s arm, and regretfully said: "I think I’ll go look somewhere else, this place doesn’t suit me..."

An Ya nodded in understanding, her hands clasped in front of her chest, with a choked voice she said, "Sir, I’m very sorry for what happened today...

Such incidents are rare in Thailand, if, if you..."

"If I decide to buy a house, I’ll certainly look for you..."

Mountain Eagle embraced the professional real estate agent, patted her back lightly, then pulled out a stack of about 2000 Thai Baht and put it in her hands, saying, "It’s not your fault, go home, get some rest..."

After finishing, Mountain Eagle turned and left the Sky Park Apartment scene, naturally walked away from the crowd, and walked back to the holiday hotel.

Mountain Eagle opened his backpack in his room, looking at the ’spoils’ he brought back from the scene, he deeply furrowed his brows...
