Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 914 - 854: Traitor

After Tiffany and Lilith left, Mountain Eagle began to frequently contact his friends...

Through Anna, Mountain Eagle quickly uncovered the details about the oligarch who hired Arctic Fox to attack 'Hyena'.

Sergei, an oligarch within the Great Russia Energy Group!

Within the Great Russia internal hierarchy, Sergei doesn't belong to the Hilawick Group led by Boss Pu, he is more like a White Glove.

When Boss Pu came to power, he suffered a big loss from an organization led by the English, losing some shares of the Great Russia Energy Group and losing face at the International Court.

However, possibly out of a longing for the European family and blind admiration and trust in the European capitalist system, coupled with his own unstable foothold at the time, Boss Pu, fiery as he was, endured it.

He not only accepted that group using the White Glove method to control some of Great Russia's state-owned assets, but also allowed them to profit from Great Russia through financial means via White Gloves.

Sergei's predecessor was the infamous Hodorski, who almost staged a rebellion. Although he was finally sent to prison, he managed to gain Boss Pu's pardon with a tearful and emotional 'letter to mother'.

After his release, he went to Europe to settle, becoming an anti-Russia vanguard.

Even so, Boss Pu tolerated him!

Imagine how powerful those people behind the scenes are!

Ever since Mountain Eagle met people like William Hurt, he has gained a whole new understanding of the power structures and implicit chains of interest in this world.

After listening to Anna's description, Mountain Eagle already had a preliminary impression of 'those people' in his mind.

The power and influence represented by this group goes beyond mere high positions and significant power!

That oligarch named Sergei has no apparent conflict with 'Hyena', so spending 80 million to take 'Hyena's life doesn't make sense.

Mountain Eagle is more inclined to believe that 'Hyena' obstructed 'those people's path, and they attacked 'Hyena' through the oligarch named Sergei.

And because of various reasons, Arctic Fox became the knife aimed at 'Hyena'!

Mountain Eagle knows well that at 'Hyena's scale and with his current activities in Iraq, it's unlikely that he'd waste time and money chasing after mercenaries for no reason.

The problem with Arctic Fox likely didn't originate from 'Hyena'!

But due to scarce intelligence, Mountain Eagle can only piece together events through speculation...

......

Time quickly passed half a month, and the issues caused by the snow disaster were finally contained...

The population in Alaska isn't large, and even fewer require rescue outside towns, so when Elson Air Force Base deployed four Black Hawks, carrying mixed troops and hunters to drive off the Wolf Pack and airdrop supplies, the situation rapidly improved.

It proved that as long as they put their mind to it, the U.S. military can be efficient!

When Black Hawk helicopters airlifted large fuel tanks to the open ground near the villages, and Koyukuk used bulldozers to violently open a simple passage for continuous fuel supply, Razer's long-awaited runway plan was also brought to the agenda.

This time, he didn't even need to raise funds himself; Colonel Clement wrote a report and got two million dollars from Alaska Command to start leveling large tracts of land near the village for parking Black Hawk helicopters, and with slight adjustments, those lands could be used to build a gravel runway accommodating C-27A transport planes.

Mountain Eagle's negotiation with Kerry Cantona also went smoothly...

This cornered individual, upon learning that Mountain Eagle was the one assisting Snowden out of his predicament, clung to Mountain Eagle like a drowning man clutching a lifeline.

They signed a contract through the International Intermediary Company, where Mountain Eagle represented him and his family in negotiations with the other party, agreeing to hand over all his chips for their safety and some funds for his family's survival, surrendering to the opposite side.

This is the advantage of the Middleman's information disconnect; Kerry Cantona had no idea that Mountain Eagle had already reached an agreement with Admiral Robinson behind Colonel Lynch.

Regarding Mountain Eagle's proposal to cooperate with the FBI and take responsibility for previous Alaskan arms smuggling cases, Kerry Cantona was not resistant, knowing he was indeed involved!

Now, willing to take the blame alone, in exchange, Mountain Eagle and Admiral Robinson would leverage some forces to help him reach a plea deal with the Ministry of Justice, thus maybe he would only spend ten years or so in prison.

The matter is being handled by the Bangkok Group's Kate...

The situation in Mexico has reached a point of no return, and Kate doesn't want to waste time in Alaska.

After Kerry Cantona's appearance, within just a week, Kate nailed the case with a report and a batch of well-documented evidence, transferring the case to a familiar prosecutor...

The prosecutor agreed to a deal with Kerry Cantona, seeking a quick resolution in exchange for Cantona's prompt guilty plea.

The trial will still take a long time, but during this period, Kerry Cantona handed over the evidence hidden in Washington...

This guy entrusted his most important evidence to his best friend, who is also a shadow partner responsible for relocating a batch of his assets to Europe.

It's impossible for Kerry Cantona to hand over his friend directly to Admiral Robinson's people, and only through the intervention of a 'Middleman' like Mountain Eagle could they secure the friend's safety while retrieving the crucial evidence.

Thus, Mountain Eagle had to fly to Washington to obtain the evidence and escort Kerry Cantona's friend onto a plane heading to Thailand.

This guy would transit in Thailand, with Great White Shark Sophia arranging for him to go anywhere in the world as per his needs.

Everything was handled satisfactorily, but Mountain Eagle couldn't relax because soon he received worse news...

"What? That Sergei is dead?"

Mountain Eagle was handling business online when he received a call from Anna. He jumped from his seat and said in disbelief, "When did it happen? How did that guy die?"

Anna's voice on the other end of the line was a bit complex, "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know Sergei died at an estate farm in Belarus...

I saw the crime scene photos. It looks like Sergei anesthetized the bodyguards and then hanged himself."

Mountain Eagle couldn't believe a top billionaire would do such a thing...

Even if he wanted to die, he wouldn't need to anesthetize his bodyguards. He could simply jump from a high building or cliff, or take some forbidden drugs before sleeping. Could his bodyguards really stop him?

Sergei's death shouldn't concern Mountain Eagle, but the way he died made Mountain Eagle sense danger.

Listening to Anna's somewhat unnatural breathing, Mountain Eagle took a deep breath and said, "Suicide is definitely impossible. Do you know anything else?"

Anna sighed and said, "According to surviving bodyguards, Sergei met with Arctic Fox's 'Silver Fox' and 'Iblis' before he died, discussed an assault mission on 'Hyena,' and offered an additional 50 million dollars to Arctic Fox.

But after Arctic Fox's people left, they quickly fell into a coma...

In the end, no one knows what happened. Sergei, before his death, signed a high-value protection contract with 'Hyena's' P·B Company, which will be responsible for his family's safety.

At the same time, Sergei transferred his energy group shares worth billions of dollars to the Great Russia Government for free.

This guy set a bad precedent with his death, and now the atmosphere in the Kremlin is peculiar!"

Mountain Eagle couldn't help but take a deep breath and curiously asked, "Did your Boss Pu do it?"

"Definitely not!"

Anna sighed again, saying, "But everyone thinks it's..."

Mountain Eagle understood instantly...

Sergei was merely a white glove proxy for holding shares. Now, before dying, he transferred all the energy group shares to the Great Russia Government, causing significant losses to the interest group behind him and making the Hilawick Group leaders close to Boss Pu feel immensely horror-stricken.

Jokingly, their family wealth was painstakingly acquired by leveraging Great Russia's policies...

If everyone acted like Sergei, returning money before dying, what would happen to their families and descendants? How could resources and power be inherited?

Right now, it doesn't matter who killed Sergei. What matters is Boss Pu's attitude.

After all, Sergei didn't violate any overt laws. If you wanted to deal with him, you should use methods like auditing or tax investigations, not immediately destroy him physically.

In the face of such tragedy, if external allies are shocked and someone incites upheaval, if Boss Pu doesn't handle it well, Great Russia could plunge into turmoil.

And Mountain Eagle was certain that even if Boss Pu handles it well, there would be a wave of asset flight from Great Russia soon.

This isn't something a competent politician would do, yet based on the principle that the greatest beneficiary is the most suspicious, Boss Pu couldn't easily clear his name.

Mountain Eagle realized almost instantly that 'Hyena' likely did this.

He didn't target Arctic Fox but found the one who paid behind the scenes, taking them down in one blow, and even extorted a significant sum, while 'protecting' Sergei's family.

Mountain Eagle was certain because he would have done the same!

In fact, Mountain Eagle had sheltered many families of his former enemies in Thailand, and many who were once sent to attack him now owe him favors and are working for him to repay debts.

And Hyena's brilliant stroke of transferring shares diverted all suspicion and focus onto Great Russia's Boss Pu.

With such a mighty figure attracting attention, Sergei's interest group couldn't immediately cause trouble for him, buying more time.

But for Mountain Eagle, the Sergei lead was broken...

After hanging up with Anna, Mountain Eagle anxiously tried to call Blood Fox and others, when a strange call came to his satellite phone...

Mountain Eagle instantly answered the call. He was about to speak when he heard an explosion from the other side, followed by a hoarse, altered voice...

"Mountain Eagle, I am 'Bull Head,' 'Silver Fox' is dead, Iblis is a traitor...

Tell Blood Fox and the others to escape quickly, flee fast!

Iblis has found their location..."

'Bull Head' was evidently gravely injured, Mountain Eagle heard the whistle caused by tracheal injury through the phone. He was about to ask 'Bull Head's' exact location when a desperate roar came from the other side...

"Iberian, you will go to hell..."

"Boom..."

After a massive explosion, Mountain Eagle stared at the disconnected phone, stood up, and briskly walked towards his wife and children...
