Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Chapter 584: Weakness


Li Chengji's introduction of Mountain Eagle caused a few seconds of silence, but soon a group of people who clearly didn't get along with Vincent started clapping vigorously, a big fat guy with a long chin even let out a bizarre yell...

"Hey, Mountain Eagle, well done, keep it up, we're behind you!"

Mountain Eagle heard it, turned around, and expressionlessly raised his glass in acknowledgment...

That schadenfreude support wasn't out of goodwill, but Mountain Eagle didn't care, he was already a bit annoyed being watched by several Mexicans.

Li Chengji also noticed that something was off with Mountain Eagle's mood, she tugged his arm and whispered, "Give me a bit of time, I'll go talk to the Sinaloa people..."

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, saying, "Ten minutes, if there's no result, then I'll start a fight with them.

Anyway, I don't operate in the United States and Mexico, dragging the police, FBI, DEA against these bastards, maybe I can even earn some bonus.

To be honest, I look down on drug dealers from the bottom of my heart, and I have no psychological barrier in taking them out!"

Mountain Eagle's murderous statement made Li Chengji pause, she had never seen this fiery side of Mountain Eagle, she had always seen Mountain Eagle acting after careful consideration.

Whenever she reverse-engineered based on the results Mountain Eagle obtained, she would always get a meticulously planned scheme.

Faced with Mountain Eagle's seemingly uncontrollable restlessness, Li Chengji nodded slightly, patted him on the back, and then walked towards the Mexicans and Vincent.

After Li Chengji left, Anna instantly became the focus of the cocktail party.

Mountain Eagle accompanied her to deal with a few groups, then approached Silver Fox and Galahad...

The two old guys seemed to enjoy themselves, occasionally someone would come to chat a bit, then respectfully leave a business card and walk away.

Mountain Eagle took the opportunity after a man who was obviously a middleman left, to approach the two old guys with a glass in hand.

Compared to the taciturn Silver Fox, the gracefully behaved Galahad raised a glass to clink with Mountain Eagle, and said with a smile, "Looks like you got into trouble!"

Mountain Eagle looked towards Li Chengji's direction, clearly her negotiation with those Mexicans wasn't going particularly smoothly.

In response to Galahad's joke, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Vincent did it on purpose, are these Mexicans mad dogs and brainless?"

Galahad laughed and said, "Mountain Eagle, you know, the Mexican drug cartels are extremely powerful, but their weaknesses are just as obvious.

Because they govern the market through bloody means, over time, they've become accustomed to using violent and bloody methods to handle all conflicts and provocations.

This approach is very effective for market expansion, but likewise, it occasionally causes them to provoke people they shouldn't.

Mountain Eagle shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think this weakness helps in my current situation..."

Galahad shook his head with a laugh and said, "The Sinaloa Group is a super group that can confront the Mexican Government, they're very ruthless, whoever opposes them, their whole family will be threatened.

But for us mercenaries, as long as we avoid their home turf, the gunmen of those drug cartels are actually quite weak.

Arctic Fox had a conflict with the Tijuana Group more than a decade ago, why don't you ask Silver Fox how they resolved it?"

Silver Fox sighed when he saw Mountain Eagle's gaze, and said, "We helped the DEA for free, they provided intelligence and convenience, and we were responsible for acting...

The drug cartels don't care about human lives, even if you kill their leader, it doesn't matter because the successor must carry out the bloodiest revenge to have his position recognized by those below.

What really makes them feel the pain is hitting their supply and transportation routes, burning their drug money stockpile.

Only by continuously inflicting great losses on them, until they experience a shortage of liquidity and feel internal pressure and pain, will they finally surrender!"

Saying this, Silver Fox looked deeply at Mountain Eagle, and said, "Most importantly, make sure your family can't be found by them, otherwise it's a war with no winners!"

Mountain Eagle froze for a moment, then suddenly realized something...

Until now, not a single active Arctic Fox had uploaded their family contact information to the mutual assistance system.

Spain's Ham asked him to help with investment, Scorpion's sister is coming to Los Angeles, Shark's family is in Alaska, Bull Head's hometown is in Mongolia, and Chickpea simply has no wife or kids.

Mountain Eagle knew all this, and these people had invited him to visit, but they hadn't publicly uploaded their family info to the mutual assistance system.

That day when Mountain Eagle mentioned that Arctic Fox family members could apply for investment to start their own business, Ham seemed very interested, but ultimately didn't give a clear response.

The living Arctic Fox, even if they need help from each other, still prefer phone contact or face-to-face meetings.

These mercenaries' wives have their own survival philosophy, which has nothing to do with trust, they just don't want to expose their underbelly to strangers.

I may trust you as my comrade of life and death, but that doesn't mean I trust the offspring of my deceased comrades.

Nobody has spoken about these matters explicitly, and Mountain Eagle always approached with a slow-and-steady mindset without urging, but now he suddenly understood.

Sometimes what you consider good intentions might not appear so in others' eyes, because while everyone's demands might be the same, the external situations they face are not.

Mountain Eagle believes that the Arctic Foxes he knows, if they were to sacrifice, would undoubtedly want him to help care for their families.

But before they die, they wouldn't...

Blood Fox, the old KGB, probably realized the problem early on, but he didn't stop Mountain Eagle from setting up the so-called Mutual Assistance System. Instead, he focused much of his energy on pressing hacker Zorn's neck, forcing him to continuously enhance the system's security.

Mountain Eagle's thinking was undoubtedly correct, but he still lacked some world experience, and Blood Fox was helping him mend the gaps in his own way.

Looking at Silver Fox, whose eyes showed exhaustion, Mountain Eagle suddenly felt a bit of understanding for him...

Arctic Fox is not without weaknesses!

In the past, they moved in secret, as elusive as the wind, and apart from a few key people, most people couldn't contact Arctic Fox. But now, Mountain Eagle had forcefully brought Silver Fox onto the stage...

This made him very uncomfortable, even generating some anxiety because of it!

This guy isn't greedy for power; leading Arctic Fox is a huge torment for any responsible leader.

Now he needs to forcefully endure his discomfort to cooperate with Mountain Eagle and be prepared at any time for the worst-case scenario.

The pressure from the Sinaloa Group made Mountain Eagle suddenly understand Silver Fox's thoughts!

A sudden enlightenment made Mountain Eagle couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly...

In the past, he always thought Silver Fox was stuck in the past, like a stone in a latrine pit, clinging to that One hundred million dollar fund, missing the chance to make big money in Thailand's financial market.

Now he understands, it's not Silver Fox being stubborn; it's himself who has always rejected becoming a mercenary, even refusing to deeply understand Arctic Fox's internal thoughts and their concerns.

He used business management methods to restructure the use and distribution of pensions, with immediate effect, but it didn't win over the active Arctic Fox members.

Every time he tried to push Arctic Fox in the direction he wanted, he felt resistance, but he had always interpreted this as these veterans not cooperating with this rookie.

Now it seems it isn't that; he simply hadn't solved these bloodthirsty warriors' true core demands!

Mountain Eagle now fully understands that the Mutual Assistance System for Arctic Fox's successors can only be used for the deceased and retired Arctic Fox members' descendants. Forcing active Arctic Fox members to connect their families with this system is pushing them to retire or leave Arctic Fox.

Perhaps Bull Head's announcement of withdrawal wasn't solely because Silver Fox recklessly killed an internal traitor but also due to Mountain Eagle's reasons.

For some straightforward men, being caught in a dilemma is a huge torment.

They know Mountain Eagle's methods are beneficial, but some risks they cannot bear!

Bull Head announced his withdrawal, and his family immediately went online on the Mutual Assistance System, warmly inviting everyone to visit.

Understanding everything, Mountain Eagle pinched his nose bridge, put down the champagne, poured a glass of whiskey, and went to Silver Fox's side to stand together, watching the crowd at the party...

"Sorry..."

Hearing Mountain Eagle's apology, Silver Fox was taken aback. He turned his head and looked at Mountain Eagle with a strange expression...

Mountain Eagle shrugged slightly and said, "I'm apologizing for my previous recklessness, actually, I never truly understood you.

You all are too strong; maybe only by focusing on your weaknesses and belittling you can I be more at ease facing you.

But now I understand..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Silver Fox, smiled, and said, "No one is perfect, right?

In the past, I always won, which made me a bit smug!

Sorry!

Perhaps I'll still resent your conservatism in the future, but I've really understood..."

Silver Fox, after hearing this, raised his glass and clinked it with Mountain Eagle, then downed the whiskey in one gulp and forcefully squeezed Mountain Eagle's arm...

"Arctic Fox is the sharpest blade. We can cut through all obstacles!

As long as we have confidence, we can move forward fearlessly!"

Saying this, Silver Fox looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes seriously and said, "I hope you are the confidence for us to risk our lives!"

Mountain Eagle understood Silver Fox's hint. He nodded slightly and said, "Actually, I have always been revolving around Snowden's issues, creating more problems to solve that one.

But now it's okay, everything is about to end!

I understand your meaning. A mercenary with exposed edges is not suitable for logistics work...

Luckily, I have no interest in becoming a mercenary myself. When things are over, I'll take my wife and children to Alaska for a while."

Silver Fox suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Chengji, who was walking over from not far away, and smiled as he said, "Looks like Ms. Li didn't get what she wanted...

Mountain Eagle, it's our turn!

In terms of doing business, I'm definitely not as good as you, but I understand better what these people fear!"
