Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 901 - 842: Revealing the Belly

Mountain Eagle's night hunting plan was a complete success…

The trap made of the catch eventually attracted a Wolf Pack of more than a dozen Gray Wolves. Once they reached the vicinity of the igloo, they were destined not to escape.

On the open ice surface, with no shelter of trees and bushes, plus the thick snow slowing down the Wolf Pack's running speed, once Mountain Eagle and the team fired the first shot, the decisive factor was only the accuracy.

The Wolf Pack was terrifying, but the well-prepared humans were even more terrifying. Even a child could wield a weapon and fire a lethal bullet.

Xiao Wan initially tried it, but when she hit a Gray Wolf and watched it crouch and howl on the snow for minutes before dying, she immediately lost interest in hunting.

This was determined by the character cultivated since childhood, or rather, it was similar to the education most East kids received from a young age.

Don't bully others; if someone hits you, return it doubly!

Few parents actively teach their children how to maintain aggressiveness or how to launch strategic attacks.

Of course, most parents actually don't possess such abilities!

This phenomenon is somewhat related to cultural genes…

Most people from the East feel that bullying the weak is quite shameful. Historical notable figures always insisted that whatever they did had justifications, following this logic.

If I want to attack you, I must have the upper hand in reasoning and convince you.

Mountain Eagle was not such a person, and he didn't wish for his child to be that way, because if ordinary people developed similar habits, they would inevitably miss some opportunities due to character issues.

Aggressiveness in modern society can also turn into proactivity.

From his experience, whether at school or workplace, those who are active, sometimes even assertive and unwelcomed, have a higher likelihood of success than those who remain silent.

Because resources are always limited; you cannot just sit there waiting for others to allocate them to you. Most times, what left for you to choose, is what others have already had their fill of.

Actually, many times when facing interests, daring to step up and contend allows you to reap political benefits from the competition.

This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in the political circles of countries outside the East, where multi-party competition constantly raises their political costs, and even if nothing is achieved, their politicians are well-fed.

For example, parties A and B are opponents...

Party A wants to do something, like improving community hygiene conditions; party B knows it's right, but for the sake of opposition, B will resolutely oppose it and contrive ways to nitpick and create obstacles to prevent A from succeeding...

Such internal frictions first generate unnecessary costs; at this point, A either chooses to abandon or can only negotiate with B, conceding some benefits for B in exchange for cooperation.

If you are a Western politician holding power, you don't even have to strive to do the right things; being an unavoidable 'obstacle' allows you to reap political benefits.

Western NGOs protests and biased media reports all endorse some individuals in becoming 'obstacles'.

The most typical are various environmental organizations!

What happened to Mountain Eagle guaranteed that his child's future development strategy would focus outside the East...

If habits cannot be cultivated from childhood, nurturing enough aggressiveness and proactivity, then they will continuously suffer losses.

Mountain Eagle certainly doesn't want his child to follow the path of being a 'troublemaker' or a 'burden'...

He hopes his child understands their future friends and opponents, always maintaining proactivity while carrying responsibility to obtain everything they want.

In this aspect of cultivation, Mountain Eagle won't compromise, so even if his wife Xiao Wan showed a certain degree of discomfort, he still insisted on staying with the children in the igloo for two nights, exterminating two batches of Wolf Packs.

Then before the blizzard arrived, they dragged the Wolf Pack carcasses back to the village to distribute to the villagers, along with a recipe that could be considered a 'secret code'.

During this time, several children received high praise from the villagers, boosting their enthusiasm even more.

Unfortunately, the blizzard interrupted the children's work, and everyone had to retreat back to the wooden house...

Many things happened during the two days Mountain Eagle stayed in the igloo with the children... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ryan Donovan, accompanied by the subsequent Cleaner team, proactively entered the western woods, battling the Wolf Pack while retrieving two crates of airdropped medicine and ammunition...

Then, the Black Hawk crew risked flying, completing the airdrop of pre-divided supplies, along with medicine and ammunition to surrounding Inuit Villages, conveniently transporting two critically injured individuals who had their injuries stabilized by emergency surgery to the hospital in Fairbanks.

Mountain Eagle sent a photo of the promissory note through the International Intermediary Company to Ryan Donovan's corporate backers, who readily paid the money. Then Ryan Donovan came to visit during the rampage of the blizzard...

......

"Cooperation?"

Mountain Eagle, in light home clothes, greeted Ryan Donovan and the Cleaner's leader Martin in the living room...

After mutual introductions, Mountain Eagle learned of their intentions and feigned curiosity, saying, "You want to cooperate with me?

What areas do we have for collaboration?

What can you offer me?"

Ryan Donovan held a cup of hot cocoa in both hands, took a sip, and then, with an expectant look in his eyes, said, "Sir, I know what you need, and I have information here that will interest you.

In exchange, I would like you to help me complete the task at hand..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Martin beside him. The guy looked a bit hungry; ever since he entered the cabin, his eyes hadn't left the food on the table...

Their days have been quite tough these past two, and although they clearly expressed their stance, and got some food supplies from Razer, the stock food of the Inuit wasn't exactly gourmet. They've hunted wolves themselves, but they can't turn wolf meat into a delicacy no matter what.

Mountain Eagle heard the 'grumble' from Martin's stomach clearly. He smiled as he asked Marta to prepare a large box of rice for each of the two old brothers, topped with the leftover wolf meat, and invited them to a meal.

While Ryan was trying hard to maintain his demeanor while wolfing down the food, Mountain Eagle laughed and asked, "What is your task?"

Ryan finished all the food in the box in three minutes. First, he nodded in gratitude to Marta, who prepared the meal for him, then wiped his mouth and took a comfortable sip of hot cocoa, before saying, "My clients are some big figures from the Alaska military...

I believe you already know the background, so you should know that my clients need peace."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle slightly shook his head and said, "Hiring you to kidnap Kerry Cantona along with his family can grant those people peace?"

Ryan nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Sir, Kerry Cantona is very important. He holds the details and evidence of most arms smuggling transactions in Alaska over the past five years, because he himself is a very important link in the trading.

But these are not the most important things, as the profit from arms smuggling is very limited...

The truly crucial part is that Kerry Cantona, along with project managers from several companies, helped certain individuals sign dozens of contracts worth hundreds of billions of US dollars with the Pentagon through insider trading.

Once the FBI traces the arms transactions to Kerry Cantona, those contracts made through insider trading will be exposed.

Sir, my employer doesn't really care about the arms smuggling issue; they need Kerry Cantona to keep silent.

Of course, the best solution would be to silence him!

But the problem now is that Kerry Cantona has entrusted those evidences to someone in Washington, and once he dies, those evidences will be revealed.

And the consequences of exposing the evidence are something my employer cannot afford!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle slightly nodded and said, "That's true. Once insider trading is exposed, it involves corruption issues and may trigger audits of contract projects, possibly even invalidating previous tenders.

Those are contracts worth billions, many people would love to overturn them.

Even though the FBI has been under certain pressure, I know they have never given up on the investigation...

I get it, this has become a political struggle!"

Ryan slightly nodded, with a helpless expression, and said, "Yes, wherever there is so much corruption, it's actually nothing more than political struggle.

My employer now needs an acceptable outcome!"

Mountain Eagle listened, spread his hands, a bit puzzled, and said, "Then it's useless to find me. Kerry Cantona is now in your hands, I can't help you control that guy's family…"

Ryan was silent for a moment, then said, "Sir, Kerry Cantona thinks he's done for, so he set very strict 'evidence trigger conditions.'

He needs to leave messages on a specific website every day to prove that he's still alive, only then those evidences will stay silent.

That guy is very smart; he actually knows very well that if the evidence gets exposed, and results in huge losses for many big figures, neither he nor his family would have any chance of survival.

We're now at an impasse!

Kidnapping Kerry Cantona's family was only an unavoidable choice for me...

My original plan was to send his family to Washington, attempting to lure the person holding the evidence to surface.

But now I have some other thoughts…"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Do your 'other thoughts' involve me?"

Kerry slightly nodded and said, "Yes, I am a 'Cleaner.' I don't advocate solving problems with violence because violence can only solve people related to the problem but cannot solve the problem itself."

Mountain Eagle still did not ask about the 'important information' Ryan claimed so far; he just looked calmly at the guy and said, "Get to the point…"

Ryan was silent for a few seconds and then said, "The company has given me a final ultimatum; they will send people to take over my task in three days.

I don't think the people they send can do better than me; I need to complete the commission at hand and then completely end my contract with the company.

Sir, you need someone like me to help you deal with some complex issues."

Mountain Eagle unequivocally shook his head and said, "Get to the point!"
