Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger - Chapter 866 - 810: The Tycoon
Mountain Eagle instructed Zack and Angel to prepare more beef and lamb, then stood up and walked to the door...
Seeing Razer hurrying his steps a bit, Mountain Eagle said discontentedly, "I'm somewhat regretting having let my wife and children come here with you...
How did you promise me back then?"
Razer paused in his steps, glanced angrily at Mountain Eagle, and said irritably, "This house is the highest standard here, and everyone who comes to Alaska shouldn't be chasing modernity, but feeling the nature here.
And winter happens to be the most charming time here!"
Speaking, Razer probably also felt his words hard to convince Mountain Eagle. He looked back at the rather chaotic cabin, sighed somewhat helplessly, and said, "For those unaccustomed, life here is indeed somewhat inconvenient and dull.
Why did you agree to let them come here, don't you know yourself?
Now you're here, you can change the current situation. What they are lacking has never been supplies or some modern equipment; they need someone to anchor them, and then they can settle down and find enjoyment here."
Mountain Eagle shook his head and followed Razer's steps, said irritably, "I don't think there's any fun in a minus-sixty-degree environmentβ¦"
Razer listened, shook his head very seriously and said, "Minus sixty degrees is just the beginning. The weather forecast shows that in the next month, the night temperature here will drop to minus seventy degrees or more.
Challenging the cold is itself a kind of fun. If you can keep your heart steady and rich while challenging, then when you walk out of Alaska, you'll find yourself changed.
Mountain Eagle, in Alaska, life is very fragile, but precisely because life is fragile, people can better understand the weight of life and the meaning of existence!
This place is a 'cemetery' where city animals turn pale on hearing, but it is also a place where some urban beasts bury their desires.
You're a wealthy man; you should know well, sometimes having money doesn't make people happy!
The living dead with money are no more advanced than those homeless at street corners!"
Razer's philosophically inclined words somewhat stumped Mountain Eagle. He actually just wanted to complain a bit, without meaning to blame Razerβ¦
After all, this old man indeed put out the best house and facilities they have here, and has taught his son many things.
Sensing Razer's dissatisfaction, Mountain Eagle shrugged his shoulders, caught up with his pace, and said, "Alright, I apologize, you indeed helped me.
Then after I apologize, can I not invest in this 'burial ground of desires'?"
Razer, while striding towards the west side of the village, gestured and said, "That's another matter...
We enjoy peace and self-sufficiency, but that doesn't mean we like a life of material scarcity!
My youngest daughter and several granddaughters have been learning from your wife during this time. According to Mrs. Li's guidance, they went to Anchorage.
These days they will fly to East to engage with an agricultural company, to learn how to build and manage greenhouses."
Saying this, Razer halted near a small house on the west side of a village, looked at Mountain Eagle beside him, and earnestly said, "Mountain Eagle, my daughter told me, your wife is an extraordinary woman, she's provided us with much help.
I've heard she sponsored the Alaska orphanage project and facilitated communication between Alaska and East, helped natives digest their unsellable pelts, even established a cross-border trade line for it.
Mountain Eagle, you shouldn't view her as a greenhouse flower that needs protection. At least here in Alaska, she can achieve many things you don't have the patience to accomplish."
Hearing Razer boasting about his wife desperately, Mountain Eagle somewhat awkwardly touched his nose...
He didn't correct Razer's erroneous summary of Xiao Wan's achievements, nor did he mind others attributing his good deeds to his wife, and instead said happily, "You're right, Alaska will be my wife's industry in the future...
I suspect the Alaska State Government wouldn't be happy about someone dangerous like me lingering here long-term.
If you were kissing up, you've hit the right spot.
But if you have free time, compliment Tessa some more, you'll find she also has a background you can't imagine."
Seeing Razer a bit surprised, Mountain Eagle chuckled and said, "You bunch of old farts spend your whole life fighting. Let this kind of human relations be handled by your daughter or granddaughter, and remind them not to leave out Tessa while kissing up..."
Razer, after listening, looked at Mountain Eagle with an expression as if he'd seen dog shit, then snorted and forcefully pushed open the door to the small house...
The cold wind coming into the cabin made Lilith, who was stitching up wounds for the injured, utter a dissatisfied groan...
At such times, the doctor is certainly the largest; Mountain Eagle quickly entered the cabin, closed the door behind him...
This small house is only more than thirty square meters, with no partitions inside; eating, sleeping, and meeting guests all happen in one space.
The interior is very old and many places have rotting wood that looks unsightly, and internally it exudes an indescribable decay odor.
Flames were burning in the old-fashioned cast-iron stove, and the scattered heat raised the temperature inside the cabin to over twenty degrees.
The injured man was lying on a wooden bed covered with bear skin, wearing only underwear, and as Lilith deftly stitched his wounds, he continuously emitted painful groans...
Mountain Eagle walked over and glanced at him. The injured man was a middle-aged white man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a neatly trimmed big beard.
This guy's curly brown hair had been roughly shaved off on one side, and a large scar, unclear whether from a fall or an animal claw, extended from his left forehead to the back of his head.
When Lilith stitched him up, she didn't seem to care about aesthetics; she simply trimmed the edges of the damaged scalp and roughly sewed the wound up.
The rough stitches and constantly oozing blood and tissue fluid made the wound look very ghastly.
Apart from the head injury, this guy also had beast bite marks on his right hand, right foot, and left hip, plus a broken right calf.
Mountain Eagle took a quick look and commented, "This guy is really lucky..."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at the clothes piled beside the man that had been taken off, and said to Razer with some emotion, "This guy is also a wealthy tycoon, maybe he's one of those people you mentioned, coming to Alaska in the dead of winter seeking tranquility and self-reflection."
Razer, hearing this, curiously asked, "How do you know he's a tycoon?"
Mountain Eagle picked up a blood-stained cashmere sweater and said with a smile, "Italy's 'Loro Piana', a top outdoor brand, and the only brand willing to use top-grade cashmere for outdoor clothing.
His coat is 'Patagonia', also not cheap.
The most important thing is that his clothes, pants, even gloves and socks, all have self-heating functions, typically used by scientific expeditions, and rarely seen on the market.
This guy surviving, having money is definitely one of the important reasons!"
Razer recalled the combat gear he received at the Brown Bear Camp from Mountain Eagle and exclaimed, "Are these things really expensive?" ππ£π²ππ¨π²ππ»πΌπ―π²π.π°ππ¦
Mountain Eagle nodded, saying, "Very expensive, but as long as you use them, they're absolutely worth it!
This guy is proof!"
Razer couldn't help but give a thumbs up, nodding as he said, "When Lilith was stitching this guy, he woke up for a moment.
He said he and his family were trapped in a hunting lodge in the northern mountains because of a blizzard and extreme cold.
Their plane and snowmobiles were frozen and wouldn't start, the generator broke, and the satellite phone was lost in the rush.
His whole family can't leave there, so he risked leaving the Hunter's Lodge to seek help."
Mountain Eagle looked at Razer's somewhat peculiar expression and, spreading his hands, said, "Then call for help from the rescue team. At daylight tomorrow, send a helicopter to pick them up. He doesn't have a satellite phone, but don't you?"
Razer, upon hearing this, spread his hands and said, "He said he's willing to offer 400,000 dollars for us to go in and bring his family out. The only requirement is that we can't alert the rescue team or call the police."
Mountain Eagle immediately frowned and said, "Being unwilling to report to the police under such circumstances, this guy's identity is suspicious..."
Razer shrugged and said, "I think so too, so I wanted to hear your opinion.
400,000 dollars isn't a small amount for me. My daughter and granddaughter are going to East University for study and shopping, and they don't have that much money."
Saying this, Razer looked at his two sons and son-in-law in the cabin, their eyes glinting, and spreading his hands, said, "Judging by the directions and locations he gave me, this task isn't difficult to complete."
Mountain Eagle nonchalantly said, "I feel this guy's identity is definitely problematic, but this is your turf, and any trouble shouldn't be a big deal for you.
If you want to make this money, make your own decision, why ask me?"
Razer smacked his lips, pondering for a moment, then said, "Because the place this guy mentioned is a valley, snowmobiles can't go in, and in the current weather, flying a helicopter there is very risky.
To carry enough supplies over, we need your Magengxi Wolves.
Mountain Eagle, this guy's wife and three kids are trapped inside, and the youngest is the same age as Fist."
Mountain Eagle wasn't someone who liked to watch others die without helping, but it was obvious this guy's identity was suspicious, and risking himself for a mere 400,000 was not appealing to him.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Not worth it for 400,000. Our best move is to call the police and let the State Police and rescue team figure something out."
Saying this, he glanced at the middle-aged man covered in blood lying on the bed, shook his head, and said, "This guy isn't very sincere, that attire of his is worth tens of thousands, yet he's only willing to offer 400,000 for a life-saving mission...
Razer, he's treating you like an unsophisticated native!
If you're really short on money, I can lend some to you...
My wife and kids have been staying here for a month, your daughter and granddaughter are heading for East University, which means Xiao Wan has already planned for you.
So whether it's building a runway near the village, constructing a greenhouse, or even extending Emperor Salmon acquisition operations here, I'll help you with any financial issues."
