Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Chapter 529: Baiting


Weapons were the least of Mountain Eagle's concerns, but this time he didn't nod in agreement right away; instead, he smiled and said, "Everything you need is in the apartment...

There's a doctor waiting there as well; you and Daria head back first."

Tiffany looked at Daria, who seemed to have anticipated this, her expression incredulous as she said to Mountain Eagle, "You're planning to go alone..."

Mountain Eagle laughed heartily and said, "How could that be possible?

I've been here so many days, and your old man Camel hasn't even shown his face; what do you think he's up to?"

Continuing, Mountain Eagle patted the back of the seat, smiling, "Listen to me, take whatever's in the trunk back to the apartment. There are FBI agents isolating the area around it, so as long as I'm not there, the apartment's security is somewhat guaranteed.

Originally, I didn't think this way, but since I found out that apartment was my property, I changed the plan.

Simply waiting passively isn't a solution; I need to show a bit more aggressiveness."

Gurka took about 40 minutes to enter Santa Monica...

About three kilometers from the beachfront apartment, Daria stopped the car at a busy intersection, and Mountain Eagle, fully armed, pushed open the door and got out…

His appearance caused a stir on the lively streets...

A luxury car like those seen in movies, the protagonist tall and strong, wearing mountaineering boots, dress pants, a white shirt, a tactical vest, a tactical backpack, cool tactical glasses, and visibly expensive weapons...

Though the clothes were a bit dirty, with the white shirt carrying a smell of gun smoke and blackish gunpowder spots, the hormone-radiating, tall-statured aura still caught people's attention.

Mountain Eagle looked like a rugged star just off the set of a blockbuster, and among the Los Angeles crowd accustomed to eccentric attire, several girls boldly lifted their cell phones hoping to come forward for a photo.

Plumbers and construction workers being the most popular male images in North American women's magazines wasn't without reason; as long as the physique is strong and robust, being a little dirty matched North American women's aesthetics even more.

Mountain Eagle refused photos with a few regretful young women, then spotting a car that slid past him, he smiled at the guy looking at him from the passenger seat and made a throat-slitting gesture.

The guy called Pot Lid in the car widened his eyes in anger, just about to erupt when the driver held him back…

"There are too many people here, our mission is to keep an eye on him…"

As the driver spoke, he picked up the radio, saying, "The prey has spotted us, we need to switch cars...

The people in car number 2 get out and follow on foot, car number 3 deploy the drone, we absolutely can't let him escape, shoot when you get the chance!"

As the enemies hurriedly adjusted their plan, an old pickup truck pulled up in front of Mountain Eagle...

Seeing Camel and Eddie sitting inside, Mountain Eagle waved goodbye to the enthusiastic girls and pulled open the door of the pickup to get inside.

Looking at Camel who had clearly lost a lot of weight, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "How are your wounds? You seem to be in high spirits!"

Camel glanced at the vehicles behind them through the rear-view mirror, then slammed the gas pedal, accelerating the pickup and zooming through a yellow light at the intersection amid the screams of those around, before turning right onto the coastal highway…

"Fuck, this guy has backup, car number 2 can't keep up…"

"The drone has locked on to them, they're heading along California Highway 1 towards Malibu, catch up, catch up, this guy isn't planning to go back to the apartment.

The sea team, 6 kilometers ahead is Topanga State Park, your speedboats are faster, try intercepting there.

The ground team, leave that apartment, don't make contact with the FBI, let's follow them…"

Amid the intense communication from the opponents via radio, Mountain Eagle, through Crow's clear vision, saw the activity on both the sea and the highway.

After quickly locking onto those targets through the smart tactical system, Mountain Eagle stretched his body vigorously and said to Camel in front with a smile, "Buddy, don't look so stern, did I offend you?"

Eddie turned back, laughing, "Kid, you let Tiffany get hurt. Old Camel is heartbroken!

You should say some nice words now to comfort Camel's fragile heart."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides, feigning realization, "Oh, that's the case!

Didn't expect Camel to be such a daughter slave. How about we drive back, stop at a store, and buy a pacifier for Tiffany?"

"Fuck you!"

Camel flipped him off, cursing, "Back at the warehouse, you should have let us in, then Tiffany wouldn't have gotten hurt.

You always want to maximize benefits, good luck won't...

Spit spit spit, forget what I just said!"

While talking, Camel patted his shoulder, then muttered a few phrases in Latin...

Seeing Camel's superstitious behavior, Mountain Eagle chuckled, "Buddy, Tiffany is actually quite lucky, who can predict a stray bullet?"

I got hit several times today, especially by that sniper...

I've encountered two such snipers at Elizabeth Lake before, with extremely advanced equipment that definitely isn't available on the market. They're skilled and move cautiously...

I don't quite understand. Titan Group must have substantial capabilities, but where do they get such advanced equipment, and how do they recruit such skilled people?

They lose one group and then send another; are snipers as common as cabbages?"

The Camel exchanged a glance with Eddie and then said in a deep voice, "Testing new equipment for the Ministry of Defense is a lucrative job for many military contractors.

However, under normal circumstances, soldiers involved in testing new equipment are active service members because the Ministry of Defense does not trust the reports given by contractors."

"Active service?"

Mountain Eagle recalled his previous encounter at Elizabeth Lake; those two snipers who didn't fit in with the mercenaries were indeed quite different.

He said in surprise, "Titan Group is just a puppet, how could they possibly deploy active-service soldiers to attack me?

Could it be that active-service soldiers are disguising themselves as Titan Group to attack me?

Impossible, haven't people at the White House and CIA figured this out?"

Camel shook his head and said, "Ordinary people can't make sense of the relationships involved…

If the equipment you mentioned is truly advanced, then those items are likely samples manufactured by several major companies aiming to bid for the United States' future light weapons shooting systems.

These items would be handed over to the Special Operations Command, then assigned to specific personnel for testing.

Real combat is the best way to test weapons!

To rapidly find suitable targets, these soldiers testing the weapons sometimes collaborate with military contractors, which is switching roles as you mentioned!

In theory, you shouldn't have been a target of weapon testing, but no one knows what sort of ties Titan Group has...

Those soldiers are merely tools; they either know nothing about their targets, or only know what others want them to know, so you understand…"

Mountain Eagle nodded…

He had been tracking the two snipers using Crow; one was hit by him twice and is now receiving treatment in Inglewood, southeast of Santa Monica...

The other remote sniper is currently alone on the ocean, operating a small fishing boat about 1.5 kilometers from the apartment.

This guy is entirely out of sync with others; when they were near the freeway during combat, he didn't retreat with anyone else, making it very possible that he and those tracking him are not using the same command chain.

Being hunted by military personnel doesn't scare Mountain Eagle, but the fact that Titan Group can mobilize military power, even if they are just exploiting opportunities, clearly shows the capabilities of these military contracting companies.

After pondering for a few minutes, Mountain Eagle suddenly said with a smile, "These folks are actually quite smart; they know that executing a close-range shootout in Los Angeles would cause a lot of trouble, so they've rallied top snipers.

It's not just Titan Group that has done this; Russia also sent two reputedly excellent snipers, one named Alexander and one named Evgeni…

According to my information, they acquired a Barrett and a Remington 700 through the Great Russian Mafia in Los Angeles."

Upon hearing this, Eddie turned around in shock and curiously asked, "Where did you get this information?"

Mountain Eagle couldn't reveal that it was obtained through tracking with Crow, so he replied with a smile, "Who doesn't have a few friends?

The President of the Asian Region of the International Intermediary Company, Li Chengji, who is about to take over as the rotating chairman, is my friend.

The long-term mission in Syria I prepared for Arctic Fox was in collaboration with her."

Eddie frowned and said, "You want Arctic Fox to work for others?

You're planning to send them all the way to Syria; you still don't trust them?"

Mountain Eagle shrugged and said solemnly, "Trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.

If it weren't for Blood Fox and you, I wouldn't bother with Arctic Fox anymore.

I know cleaning house has caused turmoil within Arctic Fox, and they need a long-term mission to bind them back together.

The assignment in Syria offers lucrative compensation, and the enemy isn't too formidable, with ample logistical resources.

I see no downsides to going there!"

Eddie exchanged a glance with Camel, suddenly realizing what Mountain Eagle implied— if Silver Fox didn't follow him this time, he would completely let go of Arctic Fox.

This intention was too clear, especially since not only Arctic Fox was in Los Angeles, but also the world's third-ranked Round Table Knight!

They had met with the old man, Galahad, and the Round Table Knight seemed highly committed to the situation in Los Angeles...

It's known that Mountain Eagle's head is worth 20 million US Dollars in the black market, and it's irrational to think that just because Mountain Eagle controlled several members of the Round Table Knight through the Thai Police, it would result in such devotion from Galahad.

Now he understood; Mountain Eagle had prepared a big surprise for the Round Table Knight...

There must be a huge deal in Syria!
