Mountain Eagle laughed at the firmness Matthias displayed...

He said displeasedly: "200,000 is not a problem, what can you do for me?"

Matthias pursed his lips and said seriously, "I will be on the perimeter during your movements, I can alert you when someone comes to kill you, and I can provide you with some degree of cover.

I am in this line of work, I know the operation patterns and habits of these people.

I just need you to cooperate with me to take down two targets, the rest of the time is yours!"

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Who are your targets?

You helping me must have a reason, does it relate to the Bright Ladder?"

Matthias nodded slightly and said, "My target is Joseph Ravensworth, a third-rate Hollywood producer, a somewhat famous middleman, and also the shadow boss of the Los Angeles division of the Bright Ladder.

Another target is Danet, the one who spent 20 million to kill you, he put up the bounty through Joseph Ravensworth on the black market.

I don't know why he hates you so much that he is even willing to spend 20 million to kill you...

However, I think with him around, we at least have a common target!

If the payer is dead, and the bounty poster is dead, the black market bounty will also disappear, and you will have much less trouble."

Matthias looked at Mountain Eagle lost in thought and said, "200,000 is a friendly price!"

Mountain Eagle really didn't care about 200,000 now, not to mention what he mined from Black Fox, a month ago the trader Chris Jon brought Mountain Eagle's entire fortune, including money from the intelligence department's higher levels on the Mori line, into the foreign exchange market...

Armed with insider information, he completed the layout with several Wall Street companies that specialize in short selling...

After the news of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike was just released, the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real fell by 5%, and as capital fled, the exchange rate continued to fall, expected to depreciate by over 20% this year, and this figure will continue next year.

Jon, who is in Singapore, used leverage in the foreign exchange futures market and gained a 15% return on total investment in just one week, and this number will continue to increase as the Brazilian Real depreciates.

For Mountain Eagle now, a six-figure sum was not really something to care about, he was thinking about other things...

Facing Matthias's probing eyes, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "We have a deal, do we need to write some kind of contract?

Or you give me an account, and I'll have someone wire the money to you."

Matthias nodded slightly and said, "I'll have my agent contact you..."

Mountain Eagle decisively shook his head and said, "No, let him contact my assistant..."

As Mountain Eagle heard the siren, he quickened his steps and walked into the shadow of the sidewalk, watching several police cars rushing toward the Replacer's business van with piercing sirens...

Glancing at Matthias, Mountain Eagle said in a deep voice, "I know where Danet is, but before finding him, I need you to help me with something..."

Matthias frowned and said, "Replacer?"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I need to know where the Replacer's boss is..."

Matthias shook his head and said, "Those people just want the bounty, they don't even know your specific identity, let alone that you are a VIP of the International Intermediary Company."

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "No, a friend of mine is with the International Intermediary Company, and she once told me that the Bright Ladder and the Replacers are very keen on hunting down VIPs from the International Intermediary Company because they see it as a competitor.

But that's not my main reason for chasing after the Replacers..."

Matthias paused, curious, and said, "Because of that child?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the apartment across the street and waved his hand, "Sort of...

The United States is not very good, but it's easy to make a living, those kids shouldn't be treated as consumables.

You help me keep an eye on it, if any expenses arise just call me, I want to rip out the intestines of the Replacer boss..."

Matthias looked at Mountain Eagle's resolute expression, hesitated a few seconds, and suddenly said, "How about we cooperate?

You are quite valuable now, I can use you to lure out some dangerous individuals with a bounty on them.

We can split the costs fifty-fifty!"

Mountain Eagle stared at Matthias, who exuded an air of a gentleman, and said, "Are you short of money?"

Matthias was silent for a few seconds, then slightly nodded and said, "I'm retiring..."

He looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes, smiling, and said, "In our line of work, you always get hurt, a smart person would stop at the right time.

I also need some time to enjoy the life that truly belongs to me!"

Mountain Eagle looked at Matthias's handsome face, he did not ask about the reasons for retirement, nor did he ask why he needed so much money...

This guy's suit alone costs more than sixty thousand, obviously not short of money, his display of greed is clearly due to some issues.

However, Mountain Eagle wasn't yet familiar enough with everyone to pry into certain matters when they weren't mentioned…

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "I was originally just bait, it's not in my character to just sit around waiting for those idiots to show up.

You take care of it, let me know ahead of time if you need anything, and we can work together like we did today."

Matthias nodded slightly, then lifted his car keys and said with a smile: "The car's GPS will record the assassin's driving route, interested to pay a visit to the assassin's home with me?"

Mountain Eagle knew that Matthias wanted to find Joseph Ravensworth's whereabouts through the assassin. He shook his head and said, "I'm busy, you go ahead..."

After finishing speaking, Mountain Eagle walked towards the apartment…

Matthias watched as Mountain Eagle reached the middle of the road and suddenly said: "Hey, casual clothes don't suit you, the dark suit we first met in is much more fitting for you...

Remember to wear a real watch next time, that green fake Rolex looks stupid!"

Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment, he waved his hand with a smile, quickly walking to the apartment while taking off the fake watch and throwing it into a trash can on the roadside…

"Thanks for the reminder…"

Mountain Eagle, like a guest returning from a stroll, greeted the doorman with a smile, then took the elevator up to his apartment floor…

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Mountain Eagle saw two armed officers standing there…

Hearing Tiffany's angry reprimands, Mountain Eagle nodded to the two officers before going to his own door.

Looking at the furious FBI Agent Rosa and the familiar ATF Agent Daniel enjoying the spectacle, Mountain Eagle shook hands with Daniel and said with a smile, "What happened?"

Daniel, visibly shaken, glanced at Tiffany and whispered, "Sir, this HRT chick looks crazy as hell…"

Mountain Eagle examined Rosa's intensely displeased face, patted Daniel on the shoulder, and said, "Some people are married but still fool around with other girls…"

Daniel, being an undercover agent, did not have the typical agent's rigor…

Upon hearing Mountain Eagle's words, Daniel clenched his fist and said with bulging eyes in disbelief, "How could he?

Getting caught isn't just about sleeping on the streets; I've seen a guy who cheated in his marriage having to sleep in a car park after his divorce."

Rosa, as if hearing none of Mountain Eagle and Daniel's sarcastic remarks, just stared intently at Tiffany and stated gravely, "Believe it or not, I had been separated from my ex-wife for a long time when we were dating."

Rosa glared at the amused Daniel and said, "Yes, damn it, now I can only sleep in my car every day.

I am full of rage, but I'm not going to go around killing people like some lunatic!"

Upon hearing this, Daniel slapped his forehead and looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "Sir, can we talk?"

Mountain Eagle nodded, patted Tiffany on the arm, and said, "The more you act this way, the more it shows you care. Ask Daria to prepare some coffee...

I saw some Jamaican coffee beans in the dining room. You can spit in this Agent Rosa's coffee, but make sure to serve good coffee to Daniel and the two officers outside."

After saying this, Mountain Eagle opened the door with a gesture of invitation and said, "Come in, gentlemen…"

Daniel, familiar as ever, walked into the luxurious apartment, trying to hug Daria as a greeting, and even after getting a finger jabbed in his face, he wasn't upset but continuously expressed his envy...

"FUCK, without a rich dad, I'd never earn enough to afford a place like this in my whole life!"

After saying this, Daniel walked out to the patio for a look and upon returning to the living room, he shook his head at Mountain Eagle, saying, "If you plan to throw a party, I can help invite some ladies…"

Mountain Eagle nodded with a smile and said, "That would mean something if I managed to stay safe until everything is over; otherwise, I worry that an assassin might be among the girls…"

As Mountain Eagle sat on the sofa, he asked, "What's your situation now? I heard you got promoted…"

Daniel flashed his police badge and spread his hands, saying, "I was indeed promoted initially, but then someone asked me if I wanted to join the Los Angeles Police Department...

The police here get a salary of 90,000 US dollars a year, plus tax discounts and even coffee discounts, so I joined."

Daniel walked over and sat next to Mountain Eagle, saying, "I'm a newbie in the Los Angeles Drug and Gang Enforcement Unit, but the day before yesterday, our chief called me into his office and assigned me a task.

Sir, does this involve you?"

Mountain Eagle, knowing Daniel's issues probably involved some investment tycoons from Silicon Valley, chuckled and said, "I've only been in Los Angeles for a few days, how could this be related to me?

What is your task?"

Daniel spread his hands and said, "To protect your safety as much as possible, if necessary, I can mobilize a SWAT team to stand guard downstairs."

Mountain Eagle laughed and whistled, saying, "Looks like the gang elimination unit is just a start, buddy, I have a feeling you'd be the fastest rising cop in Los Angeles."

Daniel had met Mountain Eagle back in Alaska and had seen how Mountain Eagle demolished gang operations, then helped Sheriff Redick get promoted and a raise…

Looking at Mountain Eagle's smiling face, Daniel grinned and said, "Sir, you know I work in the gang elimination unit, and my buddy happens to be quite familiar with gangs.

Things haven't been peaceful in Southern Los Angeles recently, any advice?"

Mountain Eagle smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "From my experience, once the heads of the baddies are gone, peace prevails…"
