Mountain Eagle didn't feel the need to sympathize with someone who wanted to kill him...

After all, it's Mountain Eagle who is the real victim!

Of course, Roland and Javier could be considered victims too...

The difference between them is that Mountain Eagle holds immunity and thus does not have to bear any punishment under the rules, whereas they not only face pursuits within the rules but also persecutions outside of them.

Seeing Roland looking dejected, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Don't look so cynical. You are elite snipers, I bet you've killed plenty of people; many of whom, according to their local rules, didn't deserve to die.

You can console yourself that those missions were for the security of the United States, but that excuse won't apply to assassinating me.

I can call someone from the U.S. intelligence right now to prove to you the great contributions I have made for national security.

Regardless of whether you were misled, you committed a crime!

I generously forgave you and gave you a chance to save yourselves, now it's time for you to say thanks..."

Roland glanced weirdly at Mountain Eagle, and after a few seconds, he sighed and said, "Thank you".

Mountain Eagle nodded in satisfaction and turned to Javier, smiling, "Now it's your turn, buddy!"

Javier, struggling with his expressions, finally hung his head after a bit and reluctantly said, "Thank you!

Shit, I fucking thank you!"

Mountain Eagle nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are welcome!"

Then he turned to Roland and said, "Earlier, you mentioned wanting to verify whether Colonel William truly has issues. Do you think you can meet him?"

Roland knew what Mountain Eagle meant, and after thinking, he said, "It depends on what those waiting for me at the gas station will do...

I think it's possible, because he doesn't know where Javier is. If he really wants to silence us, he needs to capture me alive, extract Javier's location from me, and that's the only way to end everything."

Actually, Mountain Eagle had been secretly listening to their calls all along, and at this point, he realized that Roland had held back when talking to Colonel William on the phone.

They were experienced adults, after all, and he had made a rough judgment already, so he didn't hysterically tell the person on the other end that he was kidnapped.

They wanted to confirm, just due to a slight hope lingering in their hearts.

In fact, Roland had almost given up illusions, he began shifting his perspective, started to think of ways to save himself...

Mountain Eagle liked Roland's current state very much, this was why he kept emphasizing that he was a good person and was helping them...

Otherwise, if one continually perceives you as an enemy, the remaining tasks become difficult.

Give them hope, treat them a bit better, so that there's ample room for cooperation later...

These two elite snipers were bound to flee. Without military pensions, they couldn't manage at home.

Whether fleeing or looking after their families, they needed money, and Mountain Eagle could provide them many opportunities to make money!

Mountain Eagle pulled out a dagger and cut the restraints from Roland's hands and feet and removed the malicious fish hook from his abdomen, then clapped his hands and said, "That's it then. Your family should be on the plane by now, let's head out now and take care of this, so you can reunite with them when you return."

Then, looking at Roland's gunshot-wounded shoulder, he smiled and said, "How's your injury, any issues?"

Roland painfully moved his shoulder and said, "I can still shoot!".

Mountain Eagle responded with a laugh, "This time you won't need to shoot. You just need to go to the gas station where you agreed to meet Colonel William.

We'll cover you if those people want to kill you on the spot, we'll break out and save you.

If they want to take you away, we will follow behind you to see if we can meet Colonel William."

Roland heard this, he glanced at his captor Chickpea and then at Javier seated on a chair and asked, "What about Javier?"

Mountain Eagle shrugged his shoulders, smiling, "Of course, he stays here to rest...

When I called your guys, I told them you've made significant contributions to the security of Los Angeles, so they're invited for a free trip.

He'll stay here; his mother can come over from Mexico tonight.

I believe he'd definitely like to be taken care of by his old mother..."

Mountain Eagle didn't utter a single threat, yet Roland could only sigh and nod, accepting what Mountain Eagle said...

Roland walked up to Javier and extended his hand towards Mountain Eagle, asking, "Could I release him?"

Mountain Eagle nonchalantly passed the dagger in his hand to Roland...

Present were all top experts; even an injured Roland holding a dagger posed no significant threat.

After Javier was freed, he supported himself on Roland's shoulder, stood up, looked at Mountain Eagle and his people, and said, "If I find out you're deceiving me, I'll..."

"No, you won't have the chance..."

Mountain Eagle disliked those with harsh words...

He had understood from a young age that stubbornness is useless when you lack strength, threatening someone stronger than yourself is a foolish and troublesome act.

Seeing Javier still trying to save face even though he had clearly conceded, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "You are not worth my deception!

I just don't want to waste time, that's why I want to cooperate with you, otherwise throwing you into the sea would be the simplest thing to do.

You are called Javier, I'm not sure why a special forces soldier like you has a Mexican mother, but I believe it's been a long time since you last saw her."

Seize this opportunity to bond with your mother for a while, and later you can move in with your mom.

I guess only she would be willing to take you in..."

Javier was taken aback, reluctantly lowered his head, and said 'thank you,' then limped over to Roland and hugged him, saying: "Be careful!

If worse comes to worst, it's just death. If we die, our families will be safe!"

Roland and Javier, who is unmarried, see things differently. He gave a bitter smile and said: "We need to stay alive, we need our families' support, and our families also need ours.

If what this guy says is true, then get along well with your mother, and if possible, book a bed for me too..."

Mountain Eagle disliked the atmosphere between the two, he threw the prepaid phone to Roland and said: "Hey, we are short on time!

Take this, it has GPS to help us track your location."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Chickpea and said with a smile: "Chickpea stays behind to take care of Javier and also look after their families.

Hero Chickpea surely wouldn't mind treating them to some fine meals..."

Ham, the Spaniard, is crafty. He smilingly patted Chickpea's displeased shoulder and said: "There are three Michelin restaurants within a twenty-minute drive, Chickpea is rich, he definitely won't mind treating people to meals.

I am a man of action, let me handle the tough and tiresome tasks!"

Mountain Eagle laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Camel stays behind to look after the home, otherwise, Tiffany might worry if she comes back and can't find her dad...

Eddie, you won't have a problem doing some cover work, right?"

Eddie, sympathetically patted Camel's back and laughed: "No problem from me..."

Saying this, he picked up Javier's M110A1 and said with a smile: "With this rifle, as long as they're not the army, I can cover anyone.

Let's get the job done quickly, there are several interesting nightclubs nearby, let's go have fun tonight, my treat!"

...

Los Angeles Police Department...

Tiffany, holding a cup of sour coffee, sat at Daniel's desk.

The anti-gang unit officers occasionally glanced at this HRT squad leader...

A somewhat bewildered Daniel, wearing a smelly suit, walked into the office, and when he saw Tiffany, this slick guy forcefully rubbed his cheeks, putting on a delighted expression...

"Hey Tiffany, what brings you here? I thought you were with Rosa..."

Tiffany gave Daniel the middle finger and said: "Don't bring up that bastard Rosa. I called him many times, but the guy seems to have disappeared...

My boss sent me to follow up on the Replacer issue, you guys can't exclude me."

Daniel walked over to Tiffany, lowered his voice and said, "Rosa is protecting that captive. After the guy's surgery was done, he moved him to a safehouse.

This guy is very important to us; through him, we can pinpoint the identity of the Replacer's boss."

Tiffany frowned and said: "It's been over ten hours, and he still refuses to talk?

Such people are usually smart, he should know his situation, if he doesn't confess honestly, he's sure to be silenced."

Daniel sighed and said: "The guy is too severely injured, when Mountain Eagle detonated the bomb, he didn't provide sufficient protection...

Both of his ears are deafened, and he also suffers from severe concussion, the doctor said he needs at least 3-5 days to recover before he might be able to answer our questions.

Now, the guy is a big problem, Rosa got attacked on the way while moving him, nearly lost his life."

Tiffany was stunned and said: "So what can we do next?"

Daniel glanced around, reached for his computer at his desk, and said: "Remember those evidences?

I'm comparing them to all the cases that happened in Los Angeles over the past ten years; if the evidence matches any missing items from those cases, we can find some clues."

Saying that, Daniel leaned close to Tiffany's ear and whispered: "This is dangerous work, ever since I put those 'evidence' into the evidence room, the whole police department atmosphere has gotten a bit weird.

I feel like I need a reliable partner to ensure my safety..."

"You wish!"

Tiffany, seeing Daniel's 'you-have-to-protect-me' look, flipped him off and said: "I have other stuff to deal with, you better figure it out yourself!"

Just as the slippery Daniel was about to persist, his phone suddenly rang...

"Daniel, 12 **** Street, we've been attacked, call up SWAT and bring an ambulance..."

Daniel incredulously said: "How is that possible, I don't even know where you guys are..."

On the phone, Rosa chuckled and said: "I don't know either, but you need to hurry, there are two very skilled snipers opposite...

The Replacer's boss was hit by a large caliber bullet in the thigh, the guy is very weak, if he's not rushed to the hospital soon, he's going to die."

Daniel exchanged glances with Tiffany, he looked at the screen on his computer, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let's go..."

...

In a senior office of the police department, an old man watching Daniel and Tiffany leave in their car picked up the phone and said gravely: "Make your move...

This time absolutely no mistakes, eliminate all the people and evidence!"
