Eddie's eyes were glued to the scope, watching a puff of smoke rise from the water tower nearly 1000 meters away…

"Fuck, missed..."

As he spoke, Eddie pulled the trigger again, the loud report of the gunshot echoed, and nearly a second later, another burst of dust rose from the water tower...

"Missed, he's running!"

Seated in the driver's seat, Camel clutched a Remington 700 hunting gun, ceaselessly scanning for the sniper closer to Mountain Eagle, but the dusty, stony ground created poor visibility which yielded nothing.

"I can't find him..."

Just then, the buzzing of a helicopter resonated from afar...

Hearing Mountain Eagle's call through the headset, Camel fired up the vehicle, swung the steering wheel, and drove onto the gravel road, bypassing the crash area and hit the highway again, making a quick escape while everyone else was distracted.

At this moment, those four pick-up trucks also sensed something fishy, turned around crazily, and sped away from the battle zone...

The movement of the pickups drew away all the attention, the helicopter above and an HRT armored vehicle that had driven onto the gravel ground began their chase.

6 SWAT members rushed out from the ambulance, established a line of defense, and began shooting towards the southwest.

Unable to locate the sniper, they could only use this somewhat blind firing to attempt to suppress the enemy.

Mountain Eagle had already locked onto the sniper fleeing from the water tower through Crow, and also located the sniper to the southwest...

This guy was quickly moving towards a path southwards, his Ghillie Suit clearly top-notch.

Since it blended so well with the sandy terrain and could block various detection means, Crow couldn't spot him when he stayed still, and even when he moved, it was tough for human eyes to lock onto him at a distance.

Seeing that his side had gained control but caught nothing, Mountain Eagle sighed and shouted to Daria, "You and Daria don't move..."

Having said that, Mountain Eagle stood up and sprinted towards the southwest...

In just about 40 seconds, Mountain Eagle had run around 400 meters, just as the sniper was about to reach a car near the southern path, Mountain Eagle flipped up a four-times scope, halted, and crouched with his gun raised...

"Tap tap", the VSS compact sniper rifle fired two 9mm special bullets...

One bullet traveled around 500 meters, grazing past the sniper's waist and hit the car door, the second bullet struck the sniper's thigh.

500 meters was beyond the VSS's effective range, the large dispersion of the point of impact made Mountain Eagle miss.

As the sniper swung open the car door and leaped inside, Mountain Eagle continued to press the trigger...

"Tap tap tap tap..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

With Mountain Eagle's shooting, muffled knocking sounds emitted from the sniper's vehicle.

9mm sniper bullets, whose trajectory began to meander past 400 meters, though a bit widespread, still retained basically effective power, easily penetrating the car body...

The sniper inside the vehicle groaned again, his ribs and the wounded side of his thigh were struck again.

The bullet-proof vest blocked the bullet that hit his ribs, but the bullet that penetrated the car door and tumbled in direction tore open a wound on the side of his thigh.

"Ugh..."

The sniper groaned in pain and floored the pedal, darting off.

He chose the opposite direction from those four pickups, successfully evading the helicopter's attention above, and drove towards an industrial park along the small road.

Mountain Eagle, knowing he couldn't catch up with the guy, thus directed Crow to keep an eye on him...

Two snipers, two evacuation directions, Mountain Eagle deployed two Crows!

These two got the treatment of close marking!

Mountain Eagle, a bit annoyed, stood up and while walking back, picked up the police radio and said, "Daniel, we couldn't hold those pickups, our risk today went in vain..."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, the helicopter above lowered its altitude and began circling the four fleeing pickups.

A SWAT sniper perched on the side of the helicopter, continuously firing at the pickups...

Unfortunately, this level of firepower had little effect on the moving pickups, and when the people inside the pickups began to return fire with rifles, the helicopter was forced to increase its altitude.

Mountain Eagle watched the helicopter shift direction like a startled bird and began to climb, then saw the HRT armored vehicle struggling with speed, only just getting onto the southern path now...

"Ah..."

Mountain Eagle couldn't help but sigh, he walked over to the side of an A8, looking at the heavily damaged front side, sighed again, picked up the radio and said, "Daniel, my car got smashed, you're damn responsible for settling this..."

Meanwhile, Daniel, tracking the pickups through the helicopter's view, had no time to consider these things, he loudly said, "Buddy, who are these guys, they look too professional!

I'm coordinating patrol officers to try and encircle them..."

Mountain Eagle was not in the mood to listen to Daniel's excited shouting, as he doubted whether the police could block those people.

It was already getting dark, and they were very close to Los Angeles. Once those people drove into densely populated areas, with some Black police colluding, it would be difficult to catch them.

This operation was a trial discussed privately between Daniel and Rosa...

Rosa led the team to act as bait in the daylight, a SWAT team waited in the ambulance acting as the fish hook, Daniel ordered several SWAT officers to change into plain clothes to escort the captive to the hospital...

Mountain Eagle was aware of this and he agreed with it, as he wanted to capture the head of the Replacers even more than they did.

They only intended to try, but didn't expect the enemy to actually take the bait.

Unfortunately, this time the performance of the Los Angeles SWAT, a famous frontline tactical team in America, was a bit lacking...

The enemy indeed appeared, but because they were impatient, the major part of the enemy forces got away.

They chose to get off the vehicle early, which wasn't wrong since safety comes first and the situation was indeed dangerous at that time.

However, this move provided the enemies in the Pickup the chance and space to turn around, missing the opportunity to capture all of them.

Half a minute, all they needed was to stay in their vehicle for another half minute, then the Pickups entering Mountain Eagle's range wouldn't have had the chance to escape.

Tiffany watched Rosa, who walked to the side of A8 and hesitated to speak. She took her boss's advice and completely ignored his concerned look, flipping him off...

With a wry smile, Rosa decided not to explain. He approached Mountain Eagle and said, "The drivers of the three Dodges are all former policemen, the Replacers have more influence in the Los Angeles Police Department than I had imagined!

Among those involved in handling the battle scene in the storage area, there definitely are people from the Replacers!"

Mountain Eagle did not make it hard for Rosa. He nodded and said, "Then you should pull out a list and investigate each of their phones, check who sent messages or made phone calls during that period."

Mountain Eagle looked at Rosa who lightly nodded, and said seriously, "I have more bad news to tell you. The sniper who shot at us just now should be someone from the Titan Group!

If the Replacers are working with the Titan Group, then the fighting coming up will be very fierce."

Upon hearing this, Rosa frowned and said, "How is that possible? The Replacers and the Titan Group are not on the same track at all, they…"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I know, the Replacers want to kill me to earn the black market commission, the Titan Group wants to kill me because someone has hired them.

But now the situation is different, the exposure of the Replacers' money vault and assassin manager has made them lose their footing, so the man behind the Replacers chose to seek cooperation with the Titan Group…"

As Mountain Eagle continued, looking at the silent Rosa, he said seriously, "If my guess is true, do you know what this means?"

Rosa nodded and replied, "It means that the Replacers' boss knows the mission of the Titan Group...

But Daniel and I previously analyzed that the mastermind behind the Los Angeles Replacers should be a local big shot.

The business of the Titan Group is confidential; it does not openly exist on the surface, so how could he know about it?"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "If you let me guess, I would speculate that someone from the Titan Group approached the man behind the Replacers...

I think this guy found out that their target is me, so when he faced difficulties, he leaked my information to the Titan Group, hoping to use their attack on us to divert your attention.

I think that guy might not just be running the Replacers, but he might also be managing an information network...

He controls a lot of Black police, and through these officers, he can easily access information that ordinary people can't get.

With such capability, it would be a waste if he only served the Replacers!

Titan Group is just a security company; they might be good at fighting, but they don't have complete intelligence.

They definitely have informants inside the FBI, but you and Kate have already cut off contact with other people in the FBI, so they need another source of information...

We need to investigate the most well-informed black market information brokers in Los Angeles or California..."

Rosa paused for a moment, then asked, "How do we investigate?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "Find a way to get the contact details of these people, then see who has recently been unavailable or simply not taking orders. That will significantly narrow down the possibilities."

As Mountain Eagle counted on his fingers, he said, "Police force, local big shots, information brokers...

To settle so many cases of the Replacers and simultaneously catch the Black Police, he probably also has some influence on the local prosecutors.

He might not necessarily be an active senior police officer; it could be a retired senior police officer too.

With so many conditions laid out, just a detailed cross-reference will definitely help us find that guy."

Rosa looked at the proficient Mountain Eagle and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll try to find a way, but all this needs time…"

Mountain Eagle nodded understandingly and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I estimate that once Daniel submits his report on what they found at the warehouse, the office of the District Attorney of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are probably going to freak out.

Black Police will affect every criminal case they have testified in. If dozens or hundreds of Black Police are pulled out, it could invalidate the verdicts of hundreds of cases.

Those people who were 'wrongfully' imprisoned will start launching crazy lawsuits!

The Los Angeles City Government can't bear this kind of pressure!"

Rosa frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
