Blood Fox and his team are in danger, which is the only bad news Mountain Eagle has heard in the recent half a month!

However, Mountain Eagle was able to keep his composure. He did not press Anna—his ungrateful daughter—at her proudest moment, but instead, slowly and determinedly prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Daria and Yuliy went out to buy groceries, bringing back a large assortment of vegetables, fruits, and seafood...

Big Russians do not eat small seafood, so there was no abalone, clams, or oysters; the items Daria and her group picked were all things like grouper, large shrimp, and the like.

Mountain Eagle simply processed two large groupers, one steamed and the other grilled. He also cleaned the backs of the other large shrimps to remove the shrimp veins...

When it was about to be served, Mountain Eagle placed two large frying pans on the lit barbecue stove, one for frying Wagyu beef and the other for frying the large shrimp.

Wagyu beef doesn't need much oil because its white marbling is actually fat; a little butter is dabbed on, which instantly brings out the beef's natural aroma.

Butter-fried shrimp is a recipe that Mountain Eagle saw in a Michelin guide. He has never been to Sri Lanka, but the only Michelin three-starred restaurant there featured butter shrimp...

In the butter, mix in some spices, and then like frying a steak, place the half-feet long butterflied shrimp into the frying pan. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crispy, and then it's ready to eat.

This thing isn't highly technical, the spices are simple, salty to taste, focusing on the oil richness and shrimp freshness, and most importantly, the mastery of heat.

Sofia initially thought that the butter shrimp made by Mountain Eagle were the same flavor as the butter potatoes from that prisoner restaurant in Moscow, but after a light taste, she was surprised to find that the combination of butter and shrimp yielded a magical effect.

It retained the shrimp's tender texture and added the aroma of hot butter, with a touch of spices making the taste unexpectedly good.

Mountain Eagle saw Pigeon curious and hanging around after eating. He smiled, pulled a chair for him to sit beside himself, and shared all the secrets about making butter shrimp, instantly finding himself a reliable little helper.

Not only was he quick at work, but also the not-so-delicious parts could be eaten by himself without waste.

Tonight's main dishes were roast leg of lamb, grilled grouper, steamed grouper, Wagyu steak, lamb soup in a pressure cooker, plus the fruit salad and fresh juice prepared by Daria and her group...

The very reserved Mr. Poincaré took off his suit during dinner...

Jon and Zorn, not wanting to lose face in front of Anna, insisted on maintaining so-called gentlemanly manners, having a bite and then feeling obliged to raise their glasses and say a few words until they were stared at by Butcher for a few seconds. Only then did they sigh and lay down their pretenses to start eating heartily.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat strange because everyone wasn't well-acquainted with each other...

As the host, Mountain Eagle only stood up to raise his glass after Butcher and Pigeon, the two big eaters, were full, making sure everyone else was satisfied with food and drink...

"Listen to me, I have to thank everyone for your hard work over the past period..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at everyone present, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "We are not law-abiding citizens!

The process of getting to know some of you was anything but peaceful, and we've been through a lot of battles during the cooperation with some.

But these are actually not important...

What is important is that we've got to know each other and think of each other as trustworthy partners.

And then we won, and in the foreseeable future, we will win even more!

We're not law-abiding citizens, I don't promise you a long life, but I can promise...

As long as you fulfill your duties, you will gain respect, trust, and of course, the most important, a decent and wealthy life!

Let's drink this toast, go have a good dream, and then write down what you dreamed of...

Trust me, with our joint efforts, dreams are not far away!"

"To the toast..."

Butcher stood up, loudly echoing, poured a big glass of vodka down his throat, and then walked to the corner of the terrace to hang up a mosquito net...

"Boss, Pigeon and I will take turns keeping watch through the night, so you all can rest assured..."

Mountain Eagle was about to say it wasn't necessary for now when Butcher, looking at several dug pits with an anticipatory smile, said, "I always wanted a house on the warm beach. St. Petersburg is too cold; my children would definitely love the warm beach."

Seeing Butcher's happy face, Mountain Eagle shook his head with a smile and grabbed Jon and Zorn, who were trying to sneak away after finishing their meal, and asked them to help clear the table.

At this moment, Zorn suddenly remembered he was injured. Holding his leg, he complained, "Boss, I'm an injured man, doing chores will affect my recovery."

Mountain Eagle nodded understandingly and said, "Doing chores will affect, so rehabilitate instead. From today on, you'll train with Butcher and Pigeon...

Don't worry, they'll take good care of your body and try not to leave you disabled.

I bet in three days at most, you'll be able to do housework again!"

Zorn glanced at Butcher, who didn't smell much of a human, sighed, stood up straight, and said, "Boss, I'm up for it...

But I have very important information to report to you; chores will have to wait a bit..."

Mountain Eagle grinned and said, "You can do chores and talk at the same time..."

Zorn rubbed his slightly bloated stomach, sighed, and began cleaning up the table with a waste bin while speaking, "I've been monitoring some dark web information exchange sites, as well as the website of the International Intermediary Company.

Someone posted intelligence that Mr. Snowden is not in Moscow, and the person at the Four Seasons Hotel is just a body double.

Moreover, there is a bounty worth 3000 Bitcoins for the location of Mr. Snowden...

Oh, and the communication management software you asked me to create is ready, but the encryption program is a bit complicated.

I'm figuring out how to make it relatively simple so that users won't find it troublesome while still ensuring the software's security.

Boss, in the early stages, we can operate by renting servers, but if we want confidentiality, we need our own services..."

Zorn patted his head and said, "Oh boss, I've sold that gambling software, to a buyer from Cambodia, but I'm a bit worried, so could you please help me out..."

Mountain Eagle furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Have them come to Ao Nan for the transaction. Just let Luo Yang look after you a bit, the Cambodians can't do anything to you in Thailand.

Take your time with the software encryption, just figure it out slowly..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle stood up, signaling Zorn to get back to work, and then he took a bottle of beer and sat down at the bar-like spot on the edge of the terrace...

Hearing footsteps behind him, Mountain Eagle looked at the last gleam of the sunset and said, "My itinerary is basically public, I haven't intentionally hidden my identity...

Most people think I am actually Snowden's bodyguard, so why haven't those people come for me?

Who leaked the existence of Blood Fox and his crew?

No one knows Blood Fox's current whereabouts; to harm him, they would need to lure him out.

Only someone very familiar with Blood Fox would have a chance to harm him..."

Anna sat beside Mountain Eagle with a beer, propping her chin with one hand, watching the distant sunset and said, "After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the KGB fell apart, and most of their agents were left without a home...

Most of them started looking out for themselves...

Some collaborated with the Big Russian Gang, creating the Weapon Bank.

Some joined private intelligence firms, providing corporate espionage services.

Others picked up their old trades, working with multinational capitals, using threats and assassinations to control the politics and economies of regions.

Blood Fox spent decades in the mercenary trade, he has many friends but also many enemies.

It's just that Arctic Fox has always been in the forefront, so external malice has never fallen upon him.

This time by getting involved with the Snowden issue in Moscow, it gave those people an opportunity.

Someone is willing to pay, and those people just happen to want revenge..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand with a sigh, saying, "Moscow is a city where secrets can't be kept, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like a whore's panties, it seems like anyone can easily tear them apart and get what they want.

Life hasn't been easy for Boss Pu at all!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Anna with a somewhat complex expression and said, "I should apologize to you, for my attitude toward you in the past...

I underestimated you!"

Anna was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about?"

Mountain Eagle took a swig of beer and said, "I said I underestimated you...

The only way those people could find Blood Fox is to capture someone very important to him!

You are his daughter, so you are the best target!

The situation in Moscow isn't great, but with your mother there, ensuring your safety shouldn't be a problem.

You came to Thailand in hopes of drawing them out...

For this, you even left Daria and Yuliy behind, only bringing along the people arranged for you by Victor, and those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

You're doing this to give those people an opportunity, and then eliminate them!"

He looked at Anna, whose expression was complex, and sighed, "For a daughter to go this far for her father, it's enough!

Who is protecting you on the outside? Why do you think you can trust them?"

A hint of grievance and pride flashed in Anna's eyes, then she lightly sniffed and smiled at Eddie, who was hovering around Daria, "I told you, I have some independent security funds, so I invited people from Chi Hu to protect me...

Of course, there are also three restless old-timers!"

Mountain Eagle, upon hearing this, visualized the image of Gray Wolf in his mind, nodded slightly, and then said, "Chi Hu is great, but you mentioned three old-timers, besides Eddie, who else is there?"

Anna smiled proudly and said, "There's an old Cowboy named Camel, who originally came to Southeast Asia on holiday, but when he heard Blood Fox was in trouble, Eddie pulled him in to help.

Oh, that 'Camel' told me that he taught Eddie how to shoot, and he even mentioned wanting to have a competition with you.

There's also Galahad from the Round Table Knights..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Why didn't that Camel come with you?"

Anna covered her mouth and laughed, "That old guy hurt his back in a massage parlor, now he's found a proper masseur and is receiving treatment at the hotel.

This bunch of old-timers, not only do they have a problematic sense of aesthetics, but their brains also seem to be a bit off, though his shooting skills are indeed the fastest and most extravagant I've seen...

The bodyguards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't even see his moves when he had a gun pointed at their heads.

Too bad that old-timer's back isn't up to par...

But I don't care, I've only arrived not long ago, and those people won't react that quickly. With Eddie and the other bodyguards, as well as Galahad from the Round Table Knights on the periphery, it's enough."

Mountain Eagle shook his head in admiration and said, "You really do have guts!

I just sent the Round Table Knights' Lancelot and Perceval, along with a few others, to prison, and even extorted 2 million US Dollars from their boss Arthur.

What's the deal with this old-timer called Galahad? What's your relationship with him?"
