Anna spread her hands and said, "Galahad was a good friend of my mother...

He joined SBS early, left it midway to join the British Ministry of Defense, and later moved to the NATO Intelligence Department...

My mother knew him for many years until he left NATO Intelligence ten years ago and got involved in setting up the Round Table Knights, losing contact since then."

Mountain Eagle couldn't tell if it was just his imagination, but he sensed a hint of cuckoldry from Anna's description.

Thinking about it though, that old guy Blood Fox had divorced long ago; the cuckoldry probably belongs to the head of Erin's second husband shortly after her death.

Mountain Eagle, stroking his chin and looking at Anna with a strange expression, said, "For so many years with no contact, and suddenly he seeks out your mom, it can't be that he wants to rekindle an old flame.

Let me guess..."

Anna, seemingly accustomed to Mountain Eagle's 'Prophet' nature, waved her hand and said, "No need to guess, that old guy contacting my mother is just to ask for peace through her.

The failure of the Round Table Knights is their own capability issue, which they recognize...

Most importantly, their core members are not dead; those who died were just interns, so you're not enemies!"

Mountain Eagle curiously said, "What exactly do they want? To break Lancelot and the others out of jail?

I'm telling you, that's not possible!

As long as they are in Thailand, they have to honestly serve their time in jail!"

Anna nodded and said, "That's why Galahad wants your help to get the best treatment for Lancelot and the others while speeding up the extradition process to the United States.

They really hold no value for Thailand; if you could assist the extradition, the rest can be handled by Galahad himself."

"They want to snatch prisoners from the Americans?"

Mountain Eagle said in surprise, "No, they've already pissed off the CIA to death, attempting a jailbreak might lead them into a CIA trap.

FUCK, don't tell me Galahad is also acquainted with people in the CIA and has negotiated terms."

Anna nodded and said, "It's typical for old spies from the Cold War era, who have been mingling within the English and NATO circles for many years, to have connections or hold some leverage over big shots.

I think you're not very familiar with the Round Table Knights; they rose to the world's top three in just a few years not only because they're formidable, but they have cooperations with British intelligence and the NATO intelligence agencies...

Doing dirty work around the world and conducting live battlefield testing for major European arms manufacturers are part of their duties."

After listening, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I think they're not that smart either; otherwise they wouldn't have..."

He paused, then incredulously turned to Anna and said, "Shit, it's the English, those who consider Southeast Asia as their private land, so they also want that list of spies..."

Anna shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not privy to the specifics; you need to make your own judgement.

But however you guess, the English won't admit it.

They've lost a spy in that conflict, who was on a very secretive mission all along.

Right now, there's an ongoing verbal fight internally in both England and the United States, but externally, they both are pressuring Thailand to extradite the Round Table Knights."

Mountain Eagle, having listened, slightly shook his head and said, "Would it have been easier for Galahad to get what he wants if he had kidnapped you?"

Anna, smiling, said, "No, when Galahad was in trouble once, he entrusted his daughter to my mother for care.

Now his daughter is still in Moscow, so..."

Mountain Eagle, upon hearing this, couldn't help but give a thumbs up...

It's not strange for spies from England during the Cold War to know Soviet spies, but it's quite something for an English spy to entrust their daughter to others.

Galahad seeking out Erin so directly is because he knows both sides are equitable, with Erin holding the cards can trust him.

Then through Anna communicating with Mountain Eagle, they made Lancelot and his crew relax and heal in prison, giving them reassurance for the time being, letting things move slowly but surely.

Proceed methodically, first remove animosity, then establish cooperation, and not making difficult demands on Mountain Eagle, as he took the hardest part upon himself.

This old man Galahad is quite interesting, though Blood Fox probably won't like him.

Mountain Eagle also didn't expect that he had been delayed by things in Bangkok for about ten days, and so many things had happened outside.

Blood Fox's safety was assured; it wasn't just him caring about it, nor him alone striving for their safety...

This feeling was rather good, slightly easing the tension Mountain Eagle had been carrying.

Looking at Anna's relaxed demeanor, Mountain Eagle hesitated and then said, "Why don't you stay here? Should any trouble arise, I should be able to help..."

As Anna squinted her eyes looking at Mountain Eagle, she said, "Where would I stay?

Your buddies are all sleeping on mats, are you suggesting I sleep with you?"

Observing Anna revert to her charming manner, he turned his head and called out to Eddie, "Hey, buddy, escort Miss Anna to the town, she's tired and now needs some rest."

Anna rolled her eyes at the stoic Mountain Eagle, glanced around, and said, "You really should build some more houses here; even the best hotel in Kamui has somewhat old facilities.

The scenery here is wonderful, you'll have many friends; constantly shunting friends off to a hotel isn't a good habit."

Mountain Eagle owned more than just one mountain, he thought about discussing a resort plan with Taigore, then smilingly said, "Don't worry, soon the bay on the mountain will have a new resort.

"

Small helicopters are quite affordable, so I can buy one. It will make commuting very convenient.

That way, no matter how many friends I have, there will always be nice places for them to stay!"

Upon hearing that Mountain Eagle actually took her advice, Anna cheerfully said, "I've rented a large yacht and I'm planning to take a trip out to sea in a couple of days. Would you like to join?"

Mountain Eagle knew that Anna intended to have the negotiations on the sea. Kamui was currently too bustling, and heading out to sea would mitigate some unnecessary risks, plus security pressures are less in a simple environment.

Such negotiations would never conclude in just a day or two. Finding a great environment where everyone could eat, drink, have fun, and discuss matters would be far more comfortable than sitting in a musty meeting room.

Setting out to sea regularly could also provide enough observation time for those with ulterior motives, and similarly provide Chi Hu some clues for external protection.

Anna intended to lure the other party out and then eliminate them, so she could not opt for a defensive stance. She needed to strike first!

Clearly, Anna had a complete plan in mind, and since it was not appropriate for Mountain Eagle to interfere, he said, "The yacht negotiation is a good idea, but I'll pass.

If there's any issue with Ansheng Group, contact me...

As a middleman, just hearing your complaints allows me to make good money, and I'm quite happy with that!"

Upon hearing this, Anna suddenly opened her arms and hugged Mountain Eagle, asking, "Has anyone ever told you that being with you actually feels very secure?"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, seriously responding, "Then you have good taste…"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle bent down to pick up a passing puppy, rubbing its slightly bloated belly, and smilingly said, "This little guy has eaten too much, I'm going to take them for a walk.

Watch out for your safety and call me immediately if you encounter any trouble."

Watching Mountain Eagle leave, Anna turned to the busy Jon and Zorn with a smile, while the unlucky Zorn, who hit his knee against the table corner, cried out in pain...

Confirming that her charm had no issues, Anna waved her fists at Mountain Eagle's retreating figure, then called out to Eddie, "Let's get going..."

Eddie had Daria write a phone number on his palm, reluctantly got into the Jimny, and departed Sunset Mountain with Anna.

Mountain Eagle, along with Balang and his two sons, walked around Sunset Mountain, and whether it was speaking with Mr. Poincaré or some other cause, without the protection of the exoskeleton, he felt a slight swelling in his right leg...

Returning to his home, Mountain Eagle fetched two ice packs and strapped them to his knee and ankle, then sat on the couch, staring off into space at the gun cabinet on the first floor...

No man can resist the temptation to fill his 'toy cabinet'!

Gold is limited, and the Sergeant System offers too few weapon choices.

Mountain Eagle actually still had a batch of commemorative gold coins left, but he felt it was irrational to spend big money on light weapons.

Especially since he had stable channels for weaponry, there was no need to splurge on those appealing light weapons in the Sergeant System.

Currently in the system, the illuminated handguns included a .22 Ruger Silent Pistol MARK4, and a 10mm Glock 40.

Rifles included AK-105, sniper rifles had VSS, and there were grenade guns like Miguel M32.

Other items included various hand grenades, Hummingbird, Golden Cicada, Crow, Tyrus Exoskeleton, and flexible armor...

There were also one-time illuminated soldier equipment accessories, like combat uniforms, bullet-proof vests, helmets, standard night vision goggles, scopes, ropes, tools, even parachutes – everything was available.

Mountain Eagle was well-equipped now, except for long-range weapons.

Similar to how his most commonly used handgun was the CZ75, he did not disdain using high-quality items available on the market.

Because compared to the Sergeant System, purchasing additional weapons outside existing models was slightly cheaper for him.

Now possessing a 'Knight Commander's Medal', he could import firearms tax-free through any Thai gun store.

It would be shame not to exploit this nice perk, given his previous efforts!

So, he took out a pen and paper, pondering as he wrote and sketched…

Nearly an hour later, Mountain Eagle checked his extensively revised list against his gun cabinet, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he picked up his phone to call Taigore...

"Hey buddy, I'll snap a picture of a list for you shortly, help me find an appropriate gun store to place an order. I want to fill my gun cabinet."

"No problem, send me the list, and I'll have the gunsmith Caiman organize the goods for you. It should take about a week to deliver.

I'll have Samantha deliver them personally, and you guys can discuss the resort issue while at it."

As Taigore hesitated, he added, "I've been really busy lately, could you help send Tessa to Kamui?

This girl is eager for a big case. Instead of letting her waste time on those Round Table Knights, it'd be better to have her in Kamui finding some work."

Mountain Eagle heard this and chuckled, "What big case could there be in Kamui?"

Taigore helplessly replied, "Doesn't need to be a big case. Kamui is hot right now, and surely there are lots of crooks around. Just ask if there's any interesting case...

Tessa got all her rewards, so hurry up and dispatch her...

Besides pestering those Round Table Knight Mercenaries, she's been chasing Deveka around helping you get paid.

Please, next time you talk to her, do enlighten her a bit. She is quite obstinate, thinking those mountains and bays are worthless.

Quickly send her away, Deveka is already quite annoyed with this meddling girl."
