Assassin Matthias emerged from a secluded bar, flipping the sign on the door to the closed side, then gently closed the bar door and disappeared into the side alley.
A few burly men wearing leather vests arrived at the bar on motorcycles, saw the closed sign on the door and the pitch-dark interior, cursed under their breath, and rode away from the place.
At this point, the bar was strewn with bodies, where two with bullet wounds to the head were particularly conspicuous.
After the motorcycle gang left, Matthias started a sedan and slowly drove out of the alley, then dialed Mountain Eagle's phone.
"Mountain Eagle, the bosses of the Mexican Gang and Salvador Gang are dead. Have you gotten any results on your end?"
Mountain Eagle was sitting in the back seat of a Gurka, cheerfully saying, "Let me calculate, I took out Joseph Ravensworth whom you wanted gone, and incidentally won 80 million US Dollars from Bright Ladder.
Someone set up a betting pool on my duel with Bright Ladder, and I casually made another 120 million US Dollars.
Buddy, Bright Ladder really isn't much, I hardly exerted any effort before I clobbered him to death!"
Matthias fell silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said in a peculiar tone, "You just bet with Bright Ladder and won two billion?"
Mountain Eagle laughed heartily and said, "Probably even more, my friends also won over a hundred million.
Fuck, I worked my ass off for more than half a year and I didn't earn as much as I did tonight.
I'll tell you, you can really make a lot of money from gunfighting, you just need to find the right target."
While Mountain Eagle was talking, he heard the sound of brakes and some faint cursing from the other end, and he said with a smile, "Matthias, stay cool, you're the most professional assassin I've ever seen...
We are friends, I definitely won't let you suffer.
I got information from a captive's mouth that a guy named Jimmy Lawey from Wall Street paid Titan Group 20 million to take my life.
For one hundred thousand yuan, you help me off him!"
Matthias was amused and angrily said, "He spends 20 million to take your life, yet you're only willing to spend one hundred thousand yuan for revenge?"
Mountain Eagle looked at the night view outside, smilingly said, "I wouldn't have to spend a penny if I did it myself. The target is a hedge fund manager on Wall Street; he wants me dead to drive Snowden crazy, then make a fortune by short-selling those big companies' stocks.
That kind of person wouldn't possibly have a large entourage for protection, one hundred thousand yuan is enough."
Hearing this, Matthias said through gritted teeth, "Two hundred thousand, the lowest is two hundred thousand. I'll head to New York once I've wrapped up things in Los Angeles."
Mountain Eagle, who had just struck it rich, nodded indifferently and said, "Alright, two hundred thousand then, deduct it from the bounty on those deadbeat gang bosses owed by Gulf Group.
Half of that's mine, right?"
Matthias, who was driving, was probably infuriated, as it took him a while before he said, "You're right..."
Feeling Matthias's displeasure, Mountain Eagle said cheerfully, "Buddy, don't get discouraged; I know you're short on cash. We still have one last target in Los Angeles, Danet!
I know where he's hiding. We team up to take him out, and then you help me keep an eye on a place with a lot of valuables.
If I can successfully take that place, you can have all my share of the Gulf Group's bounty!"
"Deal!"
Hearing Matthias's decisive acceptance of his terms, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Buddy, are you in desperate need for money?
If you're in urgent need, you can tell me, I've struck it rich!
We are friends, up to 5 million US Dollars at the basic bank interest rate, available anytime, and it's all clean money!"
"Beep beep beep..."
Upon hearing the 'beep' sound from the phone, Mountain Eagle smiled and put away his phone...
Lilith, sitting in the passenger seat, saw Mountain Eagle was finished with his business and turned around to say, "Boss, what were all those things you guys did before for?
Why..."
Mountain Eagle looked at the enthusiastic Medical Officer, waved his hand, and said, "I don't want to explain this kind of question. Hang around with me long enough, and you'll understand what I am doing."
Then Mountain Eagle glanced at Tiffany, who was driving, and said with a smile, "Or you can ask Tiffany, such a smart person would definitely be able to explain it to you clearly."
Lilith glanced at Tiffany, who even had a smile on her lips, and pouted, saying, "I think I can figure it out on my own."
Mountain Eagle, amused by the sight of Lilith, shook his head with a chuckle...
This is a common situation when a team has many female members!
Too competitive, plus mutual non-recognition!
Therefore, all-female teams rarely stand out. Occasionally, a successful team will definitely have one or more emotional trash bins, unrecognized contributors.
Only by internally digesting the negative energy can female teams possibly succeed, but these emotional trash bins often don't get the benefits they deserve.
Regardless of what Tiffany and Lilith look like, as females their emotions are more delicate and their minds sensitive.
This trait combined with their combat ability and professional skills, if used in the right places, can earn them more rewards than males.
However, having delicate emotions and a sensitive mind also means that sometimes they can be led by their emotions.
Many guys don't understand why, when arguing with some girls, the latter simply don't want to listen to what they have to say?
The reason is that girls who are angry are often driven by emotions; they need their emotional issues resolved, not the real-life ones.
Tiffany and Lilith both manage their emotional issues well. Even if they don't understand a lot of Mountain Eagle's methods, they can hold off until after the fact to discuss, but it's clear that the relationship between the two is not quite solid.
Mountain Eagle doesn't care; if they were as close as sisters, his say as the boss would carry less weight.
Mountain Eagle, fully aware of Lilith's little schemes, said cheerfully, "You and Tiffany grew up together. You just joined us recently. If you have any questions, you can consult her or Daria.
Including why I did the things before and my future plans, you can ask about anything you're interested in.
You're a Medical Officer, and your position is very important!"
Daria flashed a smile at Lilith, and then her look at the boss changed...
She had undergone systematic spy training, so she knew very clearly that, despite appearances, these two tomboyish women were completely under control.
Though they say they grew up together like sisters, Daria felt that putting them together would make them even easier to manage.
Watching the boss close his eyes and lean back in the rear seat, then looking at the so-called sisters in the front row chatting but saying nothing of substance, Daria covered her mouth to hide her smile, feigned a yawn, and said, "Lilith just arrived. Let's go shopping tomorrow...
At the very least, we need to get her the necessary bulletproof suits for work; those things cost 40,000 US Dollars apiece, we can't expect Lilith to pay for them herself."
Hearing this, Lilith turned around in surprise and said, "40,000 US Dollars? For a suit?"
Daria nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah, we occasionally need to accompany the boss to some formal events. Do you plan to wear a tactical vest to those?"
On hearing this, Lilith blinked and said, "I'm supposed to wear a suit that costs one hundred thousand yuan to a job that pays fifteen thousand a year?"
Daria spread her hands and said, "It's fifteen thousand because you're still a trainee. After becoming a regular, it's thirty thousand. Plus, the boss covers the cost of clothing and weapons. Travel expenses are fully paid for, and there's also the occasional bounty. The benefits are actually very good."
Lilith really wanted to ask about Tiffany's salary...
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "How long is my probationary period?"
Daria shrugged her shoulders and said, "As far as I know, it's six months, but I think with your outstanding professional skills, as long as Tiffany, the team leader, nods approval of your ability, you could finish your traineeship in a month or two.
Tiffany is the team leader of the Arctic Fox Rescue Team appointed by the boss; we have to respect her opinion."
Mountain Eagle, who was resting his eyes, gently kicked Daria's leg as a signal for her to take it easy, then lazily asked, "How are the injured mother and son doing today?"
Lilith paused for a moment and then said, "The mother just had a dislocated ankle, so it's not a big deal. The boy was shot in the abdomen, I removed the bullet and staunched the bleeding. By the time they were put on the ambulance, the boy was in stable condition."
Mountain Eagle listened, nodded, and said, "After you're done shopping tomorrow with Daria, you both head over to the hospital to check up on the mother and son and take care of their medical expenses.
Someone wants to use a minor's casualty to stop my collaboration with the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department. I can't give them that chance.
The bullet that hit the boy was a stray, but the shooter was an Assassin from Bright Ladder.
Make sure the mother and son understand that and remember!"
Lilith looked at Mountain Eagle in surprise and said, "You're going to sponsor the medical expenses for the mother and son?"
Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I'm a good person, is there a problem with that?"
As he said this, Mountain Eagle looked off towards Beverly Hills and smiled, "I made a lot of money today and then suddenly realized that the Arctic Fox's pension fund is actually nothing special.
Those guys from the Arctic Fox are just logheads who only know how to use guns. You have richer emotions, broader thinking, and are more flexible in your actions...
If you work hard, the Arctic Fox Rescue Team will definitely outshine the Arctic Fox in the future!
Today you take pride in being descendants of the Arctic Fox; one day in the future, all descendants of the Arctic Fox will take pride in you!"
Daria watched Lilith get all riled up with just a few words from the boss, and Tiffany stepping a bit heavier on the accelerator, covering her mouth to conceal her amused smile.
Gurka arrived at Li Chengji's villa soon...
When Mountain Eagle got out of the car and pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Li Chengji waiting at the entrance and the still brightly lit interior of the villa.
He walked up, nodded at Jin Dacheng who had returned to his post, then embraced Li Chengji and said with a smile, "What's happening inside?
They're not trying to wriggle out of paying, are they?
Is David Dupont there? I want to see the look on his face now…"
Li Chengji covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then you'll be disappointed. David Dupont left after seeing the death photo of Joseph Ravensworth.
Come in for a drink with me. With the legendary Mountain Eagle supporting me, I'm sure I'll be able to gain a bit more!
Oh, and that Mr. Veen who started the betting wants to have a word with you…"
Mountain Eagle frowned and asked, "What's up? Does he want to weasel out of paying?"
Li Chengji shook her head after hearing this and said, "How could that be? Mr. Veen is a giant in the underground gambling industry in the United States. Although he was duped by David Dupont, losing several hundred million wouldn't make him think about defaulting.
The money you've won is already in your account, and I'll transfer it to the account you specified tomorrow as you requested.
He wants to talk; you might as well chat with him. Maybe there's a big deal waiting to be made!
This guy's underground betting company, along with his legal gambling firm in Las Vegas, is always handling tens of billions in cash flow a year. He's a truly big client for the International Intermediary Company!"
