Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment when he received Daria's message while sprinting upstairs...
He hadn't expected that the two assassins Daria accidentally saw at the airport would appear here, and even more surprisingly, they had surrendered.
The enemy's actions were beyond his expectations!
He thought it would be a fierce head-on fight, but Replacer had despicably brought in a bunch of minors here.
Mountain Eagle no longer wanted to guess why Bright Ladder and Replacer, who should have been competitors in the industry, were collaborating.
All he knew was that his opponents were extremely despicable!
As Mountain Eagle held an immunity agreement from the FBI and the Ministry of Justice, no matter how he fought against the gang or the assassins, someone would always come to clean up afterward.
But if it involved a large number of casualties among minors, the outcome would be completely different.
2 hours were not enough to build an impeccable trap, but enough for those in the know to find Mountain Eagle's weakness.
If Joseph Ravensworth escaped through the secret passage and survived until dawn tomorrow, Mountain Eagle would face a huge loss.
If there were a large number of casualties among Replacer's underage children, regardless of whether those children were assassins or not, Mountain Eagle's immunity agreement would be at risk.
At that point, the Los Angeles Police and the FBI would have to arrest or even siege him, making it impossible for him to stay in Los Angeles for even a day.
This method was extremely malicious but perfectly targeted; as long as Joseph Ravensworth escaped successfully, the interests of both sides could be perfectly safeguarded.
"Boss, we're searching the basement for the secret passage, I suggest you..."
Hearing Daria's advice, Mountain Eagle stood at the stairwell on the 15th floor, watching through the darkness a few men on the 16th floor holding revolvers...
From their physique, Mountain Eagle couldn't tell if they were adults...
Their cheap T-shirts and oversized shorts, one of them even wearing just a pair of slippers.
Thanks to Golden Cicada's detection ability, Mountain Eagle clearly saw the situation on the 16th floor...
Besides a few Xiao Heis guarding the staircase, there were about ten others distributed in several rooms, aiming guns at the residents inside, apparently trying to replicate what had happened downstairs.
And at the U-shaped corner connecting the north and south apartments at the end of the corridor, several gang gunmen were hiding...
The apartment on the 16th floor was slightly taller than the building opposite, allowing the gunmen squatting on the ground to use the hallway's outer wall to conceal their bodies and block the view from the opposite side.
Amid persistent persuasion from others, Mountain Eagle slowly pushed open the safety door of the 15th floor, silently gliding into the hallway like a ghost...
Once the safety door closed, Mountain Eagle whispered while sticking close to the wall toward the end of the corridor: "Daria, thanks for the news...
I just can't understand why they thought I would follow the path they preset."
Daria paused for a moment and responded: "Because no one would expect us to have this level of situational awareness.
Boss, if you really want to take a risk, I suggest you wait for backup.
Joseph Ravensworth is still on the 16th floor, but he has 8 gunmen around him, plus another 8 in the corridor..."
Mountain Eagle quickly turned the U-shaped corner and swiftly reached the apartment directly below where Joseph Ravensworth was.
A man was sitting tensely in the living room, embracing his family...
Holding the doorknob, Mountain Eagle spoke into the radio: "Daria, do you have any Hand Grenades or shock bombs?
Create some noise at three-second intervals!"
Daria in the car heard Mountain Eagle's instruction, immediately opening the door and sprinting a few steps, pulling the pins of three Shock Bombs and throwing them forcefully toward the apartment building.
Three seconds later...
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
When the first explosion sounded, Mountain Eagle used his shoulder to push open the flimsy room door.
During the second explosion, Mountain Eagle burst into the room with a flashlight, aiming a gun at the people who were about to scream.
As the third explosion sounded, while making a shushing gesture, he also covered the mouth of a pregnant woman who couldn't help but scream...
"Nobody shout, I'm FBI agent Rosa, I'm carrying out an anti-terrorism operation, I will ensure your safety, hiss..."
While talking, Mountain Eagle was kicked twice and almost bitten by the pregnant woman on the sofa...
The man of the house, hearing Mountain Eagle claim to be from the FBI, was about to speak but was silenced by Mountain Eagle pressing a gun against his head, raising his hands instinctively.
"Stay quiet, listen to me, if you want to ensure your safety, you must obey."
The man, an elderly-looking black man with thick lips, raised his hands and whispered, "Sir, you burst into my home, pointing a gun at me, how can you guarantee my safety?"
Mountain Eagle glanced at him somewhat surprised, and with a frown said, "Would you be more cooperative if I were from the gang, is the FBI not scary enough?"
Hearing this, the man nervously replied, "Sir, my wife is about to give birth, my mother hasn't been able to go downstairs for a year because the elevator is always broken, my son has already been scared to pee...
Please don't hurt us!
Whatever you want to do, I can pretend I didn't see..."
As he spoke, the man glanced at the LCD TV in the living room, hesitantly saying, "But could you let me hide the TV in the room?
It's the only valuable thing we have, my mother can't live without it!"
Mountain Eagle, not having time to engage in idle chatter with the man, glanced at the grinding-teeth pregnant woman, and an obese black old lady sitting in a wheelchair...
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mountain Eagle looked at the man and asked, "Is this house rented by you?"
The man blinked, his expression pitiful as he nodded.
Mountain Eagle touched himself, and finally took off the IWC watch he was wearing and handed it to the man, saying, "I'm commandeering your house. This watch is worth ten thousand dollars. You come with me, and take your family to hide in the fourth room next door, where there's no one."
The man looked at the watch in his hand, which was a bit dusty and the leather strap had some scratches, and hesitantly said, "Is it really worth that much?"
Mountain Eagle irritably pointed his gun at the mentally slow African-American man and was about to say something harsh when the heavily pregnant woman suddenly said, "This is an IWC Portuguese Series Perpetual Calendar Watch, it can sell for 8000 dollars on the black market."
Then the pregnant woman stared at Mountain Eagle and said, "You're not FBI, the FBI can't afford this kind of watch."
Mountain Eagle was taken aback, then said with a laugh, "I'm the corrupt FBI, do you expect me to have 'bad guy' written on my forehead?
Are you coming or not?"
"Let's go, let's go..."
The man pocketed the watch then took the TV drama and placed it on his mother's lap, then dug out a bag of marijuana from the TV stand and stuffed it into his wife's hand, helping her up and gesturing to his son, who was not as tall as a wheelchair, to leave with them…
Seeing that Mountain Eagle seemed to want to join them, the man waved and said, "Chief, no need to see us out, I can go myself, I know how to pick locks!
The plumbing near the toilet has been modified, you can eavesdrop on conversations upstairs from there. I've hidden a few dense magazines under the washbasin, which you can browse to kill time while eavesdropping..."
The man seemed to remember something, turned his head back towards Mountain Eagle, and whispered, "Sir, the people upstairs aren't easy to mess with, be careful!"
Annoyed, Mountain Eagle walked to the door, motioning for this family with no sense of boundaries to proceed inward…
Once they reached the fourth apartment's door, the man fiddled with something and unlocked the door; then, Mountain Eagle retreated back into the room.
Entering the bathroom, he found the pipes the man mentioned, and without pressing his ear to it, the Golden Cicada's soundwave detection feature quickly relayed the situation inside.
Somehow, in a 16-story apartment building, someone had drilled a hole from top to bottom just wide enough for one person to pass through, and during renovation, each floor's bathroom was modified to conceal this hole.
With Golden Cicada confirming Joseph Ravinston was upstairs and even in the bathroom, seemingly ready to escape through the passage…
Mountain Eagle walked into the living room to think and fetched several blocks of plastic explosive from his space, quickly molding them like playdough, then stuck a detonator into them and attached it to the bathroom ceiling.
As he left the bathroom, Mountain Eagle casually picked up the so-called dense magazines the homeowner had mentioned and brought them to the living room…
Looking at the Page Three girl in the magazine, Mountain Eaglesh shook his head with a wry smile, turned around, bent down to grab two shock bombs, pulled the pins, and then pressed the remote control…
"Boom..."
The sudden explosion shook the entire apartment's staircase, causing the ceiling above the bathroom to collapse entirely…
The curly-haired bald Joseph Ravinston and his two bodyguards screamed as they fell through the smoke and dust onto Mountain Eagle's floor…
Seeing a thick cloud of dust spew from the bathroom, Mountain Eagle charged in and ferociously stomped on the face of a bodyguard attempting to stand up, then using the momentum spun around, delivering a vicious spin kick to another bodyguard's head…
The tremendous force completely disfigured the bodyguard's face, his head slamming hard against the wall behind him, the liquids in his brain leaking out from his fractured skull through his eyes and nose.
Another bodyguard, hit by the brutal spinning kick, had his mouth instantly collapse and his head smashed against the door's wall, silencing him.
After striking successfully, Mountain Eagle tossed the two armed shock bombs upstairs…
As the explosion occurred, Mountain Eagle pulled out a large hunting knife and brutally stabbed it into Joseph Ravensworth's chest, lifting him to pin against the wall, then raised his phone to film this guy's dying moments for a few seconds, quickly sending it to Li Chengji.
Having done all this, Mountain Eagle took a few steps back, put away his shotgun, and the miscellaneous items on him, and after a running start, he stepped on the inner wall of the bathroom to rebound agilely up to the 16th floor…
The dust from the explosion and the force of the shock bombs left the gunmen upstairs disoriented…
Mountain Eagle first rolled forward into the living room, and several gunmen guarding the hallway burst out of the rooms wanting to check the situation...
Stabilizing his body, Mountain Eagle swiftly drew his pistol…
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
One magazine, 18 bullets, laid four gunmen curled up on the floor.
After succeeding, Mountain Eagle's left hand pulled out a new magazine, his thumb pressing the gun latch to let the empty magazine naturally fall, then seamlessly slammed the new one into the chamber…
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
In the living room, six dazed, vision-blurred gunmen were quickly killed.
Hearing the four gunmen guarding the U-shaped passageway coming back to check, Mountain Eagle stepped onto the bodies up to the door, his wrist flicking to toss the empty magazine…
The moment the new magazine slammed into the chamber, four gunmen charged out from a hallway several meters away…
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Such close-range shooting required little skill; racing against time, Mountain Eagle in three seconds flat emptied 18 bullets with an American quick-draw, then stepped forward and kicked a guy who was still breathing in the neck.
After confirming there were no survivors, Mountain Eagle listened for any sounds from the southern apartment, then put away his pistol and magically produced a police bullet-proof shield, while a thick rubber roll appeared in his right hand.
Holding the shield, he turned the corner to see two guys with revolvers…
Mountain Eagle grinned...
...
Chickpea, on the opposite rooftop, watched a few black kids aim their guns at Mountain Eagle, hesitating whether to shoot or not, saw Mountain Eagle charge forward…
"Oh shit, this guy is ruthless, hitting people like that is illegal!"
