Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 875 - 818: Not Trustworthy

The unexpected news made Razer exceptionally annoyed…

This Kerry Cantona hasn't told the truth since he started calling for help, and Kahong and the others, tempted by the commission, took their luggage and supplies into the snowy mountains at night, with things developing according to this guy's plan.

The location where this guy's family is, the snowmobile can only reach the outskirts, and then they would need to walk through a difficult section of dense forest.

In two days, Kahong and the others cannot possibly rescue them, but the supplies and survival experience they bring can allow Kerry's family to survive.

And once the people looking for Kerry arrive here, his serious injuries would require immediate hospital attention, giving his family time to relocate.

To be honest, this guy hasn't performed too badly as a husband and father.

The dire survival situation in the forest forced him into this choice…

He doesn't want to die himself, nor does he want his family to die, so aside from contacting the rescue team directly, the only option left is to use himself as bait to give his family a chance to escape.

In contrast to Razer's anger, Mountain Eagle actually understands Kerry's predicament…

Because the information Kate brought showed that the FBI's investigation into the Alaska battles had sparked severe conflicts with local forces, with some agents even facing personal threats.

Kate's arrival in Alaska was essentially an emergency assignment; she needed to use her wisdom and skills to mediate this conflict between the federal law enforcement agencies and the United States Military power figures.

The opposition has local dominance, but their status isn't sufficient to completely dominate, so they must cut their losses to survive, and Kerry is the 'limb' they intend to cut off.

Kate told Mountain Eagle that even before Kerry, two massacres had already occurred in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Washington, and the victims were heads of companies related to the Army Engineering Department, with their deaths disguised as break-ins.

Under these circumstances, contacting a rescue team would inevitably land Kerry in the hands of Alaskan authorities, denying any chance of survival for him and his family.

In fact, the current situation is already dire for him…

Choosing the Alaskan winter forest to hide shows he wasn't prepared for a comprehensive escape, intending instead to hide in a remote place for a while.

Also, due to a lack of understanding of Alaska's winters, compounded by insufficient preparation for escape, his family is trapped in the extreme cold forest, facing potential death at any moment.

When he mentioned 'one million US dollars,' he wasn't sincere; he just wanted to use Kahong and the others to save his family's lives, and then gamble with the chips he held…

There are actually some unreasonable parts that Mountain Eagle couldn't figure out…

Looking at the ashen-faced Kerry Cantona, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand, why would you do this?

Even if you have evidence that could destroy them, how can you be sure they won't harm your family?"

Kerry Cantona glanced at the grim-looking Razer and said with a complex expression, "I'm not sure!

All I know is that the evidence I have is extremely important to my former boss. As long as I'm alive, they wouldn't dare to touch my family.

Because once something happens to me and my family, my friends in Washington will hand over the evidence I have to the FBI and the media.

So they have to let me and my family live…"

Saying this, Kerry Cantona struggled to prop up his upper body, looking at his poor condition, and said bitterly, "I can't seek official help because if the authorities get both me and my family, I wouldn't have any chances.

So I must first meet with my boss's people to utilize the chips I have.

I have no intention of deceiving you. I truly don't have one million US dollars, but my wife has 800,000 Euros in cash, and that money is enough to pay your commission.

My Hunter's Lodge has been attacked by a Wolf Pack and has run out of food for two days; I really have no other options…"

Kerry Cantona had spoken to this extent, and even if he left some things unsaid, Mountain Eagle felt there was no need to press further.

Because he learned from Kate that this guy was sent out as a scapegoat, he must die or disappear to end this Alaskan arms disappearance case.

Looking at this cornered guy, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, then said to Tiffany and Lilith, "You're responsible for watching this guy, getting him to sign the contract. Once Kahong and the others reach their location, let him talk to his wife.

As long as Kahong and the others get the money, I'll treat this as a normal paid rescue mission, and the rest isn't any of our concern."

Tiffany thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Are Kahong and the others purely conducting a rescue or both rescuing the guy's family and ensuring their safety?"

Mountain Eagle listened, shook his head with a smile, and said, "This is really awkward; even if we don't get the money in the end, will Kahong and the others just watch the guy's family die in the mountains?

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Kerry Cantona, whose eyes flickered slightly, and shook his head slightly, saying to Tiffany, "From the moment Kahong and the others set out, they're already at a disadvantage. I bet getting all the money will be very difficult…

You stay here to keep an eye on things, trying not to let trouble come to the village and us."

After saying this, Mountain Eagle walked to Razer's side, patted his arm comfortingly, and said with a laugh, "Brother, this matter isn't actually a big deal for you. Even in the worst-case scenario, it's just Kahong and the others being tricked by this guy once.

The guy's family ultimately ended up in your hands; they can't just shirk all their debts.

He's already decided to turn himself in to his former boss; there's not much use in forcing him!

I bet even if you call the State Police or the rescue team now, the one who comes is still the person he's looking for."

Razer nodded irritably, opened the door, and as he walked out, he said displeased, "Giving Kahong and them a lesson wouldn't be bad either..."

Mountain Eagle knew the old guy was just talking nonsense; who's willing to suffer losses? Who doesn't wish for their son to do well?

Watching the old guy's increasing pace, Mountain Eagle nodded to Lilith, signaling not to let Kerry Cantona die, then quickly caught up with Razer, saying, "My son wants to go into the mountains today; do you want to join us?

I'm taking the kids; we might not be able to find the animal traps you set yesterday, and my son also wants to hunt a Musk Ox and a wolf..."

Razer paused his steps slightly, sighed, and nodded, saying, "I'll wait for you north of the village; remember to keep warm and bring those Magengxi Wolves; we have a long journey ahead today."

.........

When Mountain Eagle returned to his residence and was ready with Yue Yi and Zack to follow Razer into the mountains, a helicopter landed on the open ground near Koyukuk Town...

Two State Police officers waited on snowmobiles near the open ground; when the helicopter's engine shut off and the snow whipped up by the wind pressure gradually settled, a slightly older officer opened his face mask, stepping with heavy feet towards the helicopter...

As the mist-like snow gradually dispersed, an 8-person group appeared in front of the seasoned officer...

Though all in plain clothes, each carried automatic weapons; the seasoned officer skillfully stopped about ten meters away, raising a hand to indicate he wasn't an enemy while loudly saying, "I'm Eldo; who's Ryan Donovan among you?"

A middle-aged man with a round face and shadowy eyes from the 8-person group donned a hat, stepped forward, and gestured, saying, "I am..."

After speaking, the man knocked on the helicopter's cockpit, signaling to the pilot inside, then approached the seasoned officer, saying, "Arrange to refuel my helicopter and find someone familiar with the surrounding mountain terrain..."

The seasoned officer paused, saying, "You intend to go into the mountains?

That's impossible!

The nighttime temperatures in the mountains are very low, where neither people nor snowmobiles can endure long journeys."

Ryan Donovan walked to the seasoned officer's side, took out a map, and pointed to a marked location, saying, "I'm looking for a Hunter's Lodge, so I need someone familiar with the terrain to guide me.

I have a helicopter; no need for long treks on the ground!"

The seasoned officer took the map and squinted closer, then pointed north, shaking his head, saying, "Weather forecasts indicate more snowfall today, reducing helicopter visibility significantly, and turbulent airflow in the mountainous areas will trigger more unpredictable risks...

Flying a helicopter into the mountains now is too dangerous!"

Ryan Donovan listened, shook his head, and said, "That's my problem; you just do as I say!"

Speaking thus, Ryan Donovan turned aside, pointing at the helicopter behind him, his tone gloomy, "Refuel the helicopter and find me a guide familiar with the terrain; I'll handle everything else...

And help check an Inuit village near a big lake north of Koyukuk."

The seasoned officer observed Ryan Donovan's serious expression, contemplated, then shook his head, saying, "Refueling the helicopter is no problem, but I can't find a guide willing to risk their life.

However, I do know the Inuit village to the north you mentioned; it's home to some old folks who adhere to traditional Inuit lifestyles, and Alaska's legendary hunter 'Razer' resides there."

Ryan Donovan listened and furrowed his brow, saying, "Razer? The one who supposedly fought off black bears with just a knife?"

The seasoned officer nodded, saying, "Yes, that Razer; he's been living there the past few years..."

Looking at the armed individuals behind Ryan Donovan, the seasoned officer voiced some concern, "What are you planning to do there?

Razer holds a high status here; his eldest son is an executive at an energy corporation, and his eldest daughter teaches at the town's school, both highly respected!"

Ryan Donovan listened, pondered briefly, then nodded, saying, "A legendary hunter must be very familiar with the woodland terrain...

I happen to need to go there to pick up a friend whose family is trapped in the mountains, so perhaps Razer might be willing to act as my guide."

The seasoned officer glanced at the armed personnel surrounding him, slightly shook his head, saying, "You'd better not consider Razer; that old guy wields significant influence here, and I doubt you visitors have the capability to contend with him in Alaska..."

Ryan Donovan shook his head, saying, "I'm here on business, not looking for conflicts with anyone...

Yet, I'm best at persuading people to help, so you need only direct me to the specific location, and I'll take care of the rest."

Saying this, Ryan Donovan glanced at the other officer by the snowmobile; turning to the seasoned officer, he shook his head, saying, "I'll be leaving soon; I don't want anyone to know I've been here..."
