CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 358: GET READY, SOMEONE’S COMING

Anna placed herself in Thailand because she didn’t trust the people inside Russia and wanted to use herself as bait to set a trap to take out Black Fox.

But now Eddie and his team have fallen for one of the enemy’s traps without catching a glimpse of Black Fox’s tail, instead they’ve exposed their presence.

Black Fox is definitely a strategic master, at least Mountain Eagle couldn’t see through what he was concocting.

Now, due to Chakdi’s serendipitous actions, the key strategies of Black Fox are disrupted, leaving him with not many chances to strike at the main forces of Arctic Fox.

So, the next thing he could do is to attempt to take back the anti-aircraft missiles. If that fails, it would be necessary to strengthen the supply to Mountain Eagle’s side, keep Arctic Fox on Koh Lanta, and reduce the manpower on Anna’s end.

Mountain Eagle has honed a very strong ability in the workplace, that is, to grasp the core points.

Whether it is a business competitor or a life-and-death encounter, identifying the main demands of the opposition and sticking to one’s own bottom line, no matter how the opponent twists and muddles the situation, can ensure the preservation of the base and achieve greater benefits.

Anna is a card that Mountain Eagle’s side absolutely cannot afford to lose. No matter how good she thinks her arrangements are, it would be best for her to step out and stay in a safer place.

But there is a paradox here, that is, Mountain Eagle is also not sure whether Black Fox is just waiting for Anna to make a self-assumed safe transfer.

Moreover, Anna is currently engaged in very important negotiations. If she were to flee mid-way, it would cause all the effort already put in to be wasted.

After all, she is leading negotiations that involve assets worth billions of US dollars, and failure would be catastrophic for Anna.

Most importantly, before the enemy is driven to desperation, Mountain Eagle can’t afford to pair up with Anna. This will not only cost Anna potential support points but also strip away the last bit of leeway on his end.

Mountain Eagle isn’t particularly worried for his side; he is confident he can handle the enemy’s attacks, which means the Arctic Fox reinforcements arriving the day after will become a live piece on the board.

The only thing that kind of worries Mountain Eagle is that Black Fox’s entire plan seems too determinate.

It’s as if he has already drafted a script in advance, just waiting for the actors to follow their prescribed roles.

Chakdi’s unexpected appearance disrupted the first step of Black Fox, but what about his second step, the kidnapping of Anna? How will that be executed?

Caught in a self-strategic battle, Mountain Eagle returned to his vehicle to ponder for a long time. Nearly two hours later, after Tessa had already cleared the scene, he finally snapped back to reality...

After instructing Tessa carefully, Mountain Eagle drove Chakdi to Ao Nan Beach, purchased sufficient supplies for him, and had him wait at sea on a speedboat for further commands. Then Mountain Eagle returned to Sunset Mountain...

...

Meanwhile, after receiving the message from Mountain Eagle, Anna bid farewell to the Deutschland Consortium representatives and representatives of Franxi Ansheng Group who had come aboard every other day for negotiations...

Watching as they left her sight on the luxurious speedboat, Anna glanced at the surrounding sea...

Under the glow of the setting sun, the calm ocean seemed exceptionally tender and warm, but Anna knew there was a deadly undercurrent surging.

Standing on the deck, daydreaming for over ten minutes, Anna turned and picked up the radiotelephone, saying, "Inform the captain, we will move closer to the northern coastline of Kamui. There will be coastal patrol boats providing safety protection.

Notify the supply ship that by tomorrow evening, we should refresh the supplies on the yacht. The day after tomorrow, we should be able to finalize the contract details. We need to prepare for a celebration party."

With that, Anna took out her phone, looked at the photo sent by Mountain Eagle, and, turning to Odin and Galahad behind her, she said with a smile, "This guy is worried about me, so he wants me to move the boat into his bay territory."

Odin nodded slightly and said, "That’s good. It’s pointless for so many of us to stay on the yacht. I’ll have Gray Wolf and his team ready on the shore as backup. If Black Fox makes a move, they can strike from the flank."

While touching his blinded eye, Odin said in a serious tone, "We must take out that son of a bitch Black Fox this time!"

The gentlemanly Galahad, in his butler’s suit, nodded and said to Anna, "As long as we don’t disperse our manpower, Black Fox won’t have a chance.

Now it’s up to Mountain Eagle to stand firm.

He’s thought of everyone, except for himself.

In fact, he is the key. If something happens to him, negotiations related to Snowden will stall.

Black Fox is definitely aware of this, which is why he’s been creating various distractions in Russia, focusing everyone’s attention on Anna.

Taking out Mountain Eagle is surely Black Fox’s main objective. I even think he is Black Fox’s Plan A.

He’s stretched too thin!"

Odin looked at Galahad with suspicion and said in a deep voice, "That kid is a mad genius freak. He doesn’t need our concern...

If you want to support him, then I would question your motives."

Galahad, faced with Odin’s suspicious look, shook his head slightly and said to Anna, "Let’s go. You need to remove your makeup and change clothes. We start dinner in an hour.

You need to rest well to be in the best state for the crucial negotiations the day after tomorrow.

Maybe by then, we’ll know what Black Fox is really up to..."

...

How could Mountain Eagle not be aware of his own situation? He just feels he can handle any danger, so others need more attention.

He placed Chakdi in Ao Nan and then drove around the town in the pickup, buying a large amount of materials. On his way back to Sunset Mountain, he lit up the Sentry Weapons system within the Sergeant System using 10 kilograms out of the 15.5 kilograms of gold he acquired from Russia.

In terms of functionality and appearance, the "Guard System" is actually an automated weapon station with auto-recognition capabilities and autonomous firing ability.

There are several models of sentry weapons, and right now Mountain Eagle only needs one of them...

A hemispherical weapon station, it can be fixed on any solid surface, and its built-in battery guarantees 12 hours of smooth operation. Connecting it to a power source enables a 2-hour charge for 12 hours of use.

The weapon station is equipped with two cameras, featuring optical, low-light, and infrared modes.

It can also seamlessly accommodate most of the squad weapons currently on the market.

These aren’t surprising, even the operation of the weapon station is standard; the real core component is its intelligent combat system.

It cannot distinguish the intentions of those approaching, only those wearing specially coded chips will be ignored.

However, it can issue an alarm at the first detection of an enemy and then plan shooting targets according to the owner’s needs, or indiscriminately fire at all targets.

Mountain Eagle’s manpower is too scarce, so he needs additional firepower to cover areas not reachable by human force, and also to reduce the drain on personnel by utilizing the sentry weapons’ surveillance capabilities.

The 80cm diameter hemispherical Sergeant System is not conspicuous; Sunset Mountain only needs 4 to 6 sentry weapon towers equipped with 7.62mm machine guns to cover an area with a radius of 600 to 800 meters.

Mountain Eagle purchased a large amount of materials to replenish part of what the Sergeant System had previously used up, then constructed 6 weapon towers, along with a batch of special trailing light bullets, and dragged them back to Sunset Mountain in the bed of a pickup, together with a delta-wing parachute.

Originally, Mountain Eagle wanted to handle the danger that might come at any time on his own, but when he parked his car at the coffee shop’s parking lot and got out, the first thing he saw was Killing Bee and the others...

The svelte Killing Bee was hitting on Butcher, whose face wore an expression of the poor...

In this lifetime, Butcher probably had never been approached by such an attractive and familiar ’girl’ before; faced with Killing Bee’s initiative, this old man actually showed a hint of shyness.

Broadcast, wearing a floral shirt, was holding a phone and loudly arranging the whereabouts of the ladies; when he saw Mountain Eagle, he waved vigorously as a greeting.

Big Mouth, a contractor who recently made a small fortune, was accompanying Sofia on a tour of her rough wooden cabin, taking notes quickly with pen and paper of Sofia’s requests, and it seemed he could manage to squeeze quite a bit of meat from Great White Shark’s mouth.

Machine Gunner Measles was helping Pigeon change a tire on a pickup.

Sniper God Stick, dressed in plain clothing, was holding several Buddha charms, dragging the foreigners Jon and Zorn around aimlessly.

Seeing Buddha charms from Yiwu, priced at nine dollars and ninety cents, hanging around the necks of Mr. Poincaré and Camel, it seemed God Stick’s salesmanship was quite effective.

Mountain Eagle was somewhat perplexed by the appearance of these folks; he looked at Killing Bee, who was hitting on Butcher, and loudly said, "Hey, Killing Bee, leave my guy alone, he’s a married man..."

Killing Bee glared at the cluelessly interrupting Mountain Eagle and flipped him the middle finger...

Mountain Eagle strode over, laughing, and said, "Why have you guys come here?"

Killing Bee spread her hands and said, "Miss Tessa called me, she said you were in trouble and needed the help of us friends."

Mountain Eagle listened and hugged the ladyboy with a touch of emotion, saying, "As friends, you won’t be charging money, right?"

Killing Bee rolled her eyes and whispered in Mountain Eagle’s ear, "Is Butcher really married? He’s my type..."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle gave Butcher a sympathetic look, still under the impression, then resolutely shook his head and said, "How much do I have to pay you to leave my guy alone?"

Seeing no play to make, Killing Bee let out a ’FUCK YOU’...

Mountain Eagle could clearly see Butcher’s face change through several colors in a matter of seconds, his expression filled with curiosity, terror, disbelief, and even a touch of regret.

For someone to convey so many emotions with just their expressions in such a short time left Mountain Eagle in admiration.

Watching the look of wistful resentment on Killing Bee’s face due to that hint of regret from Butcher, Mountain Eagle shuddered, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms, and said, "Or should you continue?"

Killing Bee gave a glance at Butcher, who was walking away, and with a sigh, said, "I’ve made enough money for today. I’m definitely getting surgery next year. I refuse to believe I can’t find a man I like."

With that, Killing Bee pulled Mountain Eagle over to sit down, glanced at their comrades who occasionally looked this way, and then asked Mountain Eagle, "Broadcast and Big Mouth are pulling us to invest together. They say there are plenty of infrastructure projects in Kamui. Are they really reliable?"

Mountain Eagle did not believe that Killing Bee and the others came just because there were business opportunities to look after, and even if that was part of the reason, Mountain Eagle didn’t care...

Because he is someone who places relationships before profits.

What he felt first was camaraderie, and the rest of the interests didn’t matter much.

After all, Big Mouth was the only person Mountain Eagle knew in Thailand who was in construction, and until he proved his incompetence, Mountain Eagle wouldn’t consider other options.

Seeing the gleam of gold in Killing Bee’s eyes, Mountain Eagle laughed and nodded, saying: "As long as I’m around, Big Mouth will always have work to do.

If you want to make big money, just investing isn’t enough. You can’t complete major projects with just a gang of illegal immigrants from Cambodia...

To earn money, you need to use modern machinery...

If I were you, I’d stockpile enough cement, sand, and gravel while the outside world hasn’t caught on yet, or better yet, set up a concrete plant.

Even if it’s a bit far from Kamui, don’t worry!

Trust me, this is a business that will make big money."

Upon hearing that, Killing Bee slapped her thigh forcefully and nodded, saying, "Mountain Eagle, whether I can retire and get surgery by the end of the year depends on you."

Then Killing Bee looked at Big Mouth, who had a bit of a boss’s air at a distance, and grinding her teeth, said, "If that son of a bitch Big Mouth loses my money, I’ll perform the surgery on him myself!"
