CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 374: THE SILENT CHOICE_2

Mountain Eagle, being more familiar with Eddie, was a bit misled by him...

However, through just one shooting competition, Mountain Eagle quickly adjusted his impression of Silver Fox and, at the same time, changed his short-term objectives regarding Arctic Fox.

No longer focusing on that one hundred million dollars, he instead devoted some energy to building trust with the active Arctic Fox.

This was precisely the kind of task that should be undertaken by departments like the ’Service Department’, led by Blood Fox.

Only by establishing trust could he possibly engage in a game with Silver Fox internally in Arctic Fox, instead of trying to persuade extremely conservative investors with a PPT, like a fund manager.

Not only would that be a painful process, but even if he got the money, he would have to face frequent questioning born out of the investors’ anxiety.

Such highly capable individuals who relied on firearms for a living could make irrational choices when faced with anxiety.

Anxiety and pressure are completely different things...

Most anxiety arises when people face something they cannot control but is critically important!

Most pressure comes from people knowing that they could possibly manage the situation, but due to laziness and lack of dedication, they let uncertainty creep into the outcome!

A disciplined strong person would try to transform anxiety into pressure, forcing themselves to think intensively and work hard to strive for the desired outcome.

People like Silver Fox, who bore the life-and-death responsibility of Arctic Fox, would definitely seek their own solutions when anxious...

Such as taking on some high-difficulty tasks to alleviate the insecurity of potentially losing their pension funds.

And that was exactly what Mountain Eagle could not accept...

He and both Blood Fox and Silver Fox had a generally agreed consensus that Arctic Fox should no longer keep losing lives—at the very least, not at a great scale.

What Silver Fox did not expect was that, after the third round, Mountain Eagle had almost given up on the idea of pursuing the control over that one hundred million dollars.

What was even more unexpected was that Mountain Eagle, a newcomer, cared more about the stability of Arctic Fox than he did.

For Mountain Eagle, making money through Arctic Fox had never been his goal; what drove him was the life value Blood Fox had poured into Arctic Fox.

That old man saved his life and showed him the way...

Now, the fewer people Arctic Fox lost, the less trouble he had; when facing problems, the more helping hands and strength he could borrow.

Arctic Fox had a solid network of camaraderie, with each node corresponding to a strong individual...

This included not only the active and retired members of Arctic Fox but also those like Bianca from Weapon Bank, Great White Shark Sophia, and even descendants of Arctic Fox like Anna...

Blood Fox never wanted to bother them as a retired Arctic Fox, but Mountain Eagle did not think the same way!

In his mind, as long as everyone was willing to help, distributing the difficulties evenly, they would no longer be insurmountable obstacles.

This might not fundamentally resolve the issue but could provide time to find a solution.

Just by extending the timeline, opportunities would naturally increase!

What if one day, a brilliant mind appeared, or a great opportunity arose, that would allow Arctic Fox to easily make a large sum of money?

The worst-case scenario was the one Silver Fox was executing...

His plan was to persist for ten to fifteen years, trying to maintain the status and efficiency of Arctic Fox without sacrificing members, waiting for the largest batch of Arctic Fox descendants to come of age, and then lightening the load to start another cycle.

But Blood Fox and he both knew clearly that this idea was not realistic!

Mountain Eagle always had the habit of looking at both sides of an issue, then weighing them...

Lacking one hundred million in capital, his next step in profit-making would decrease; his plan to use the profits from that one hundred million dollars to subsidize the pension gap was thwarted.

However correspondingly, he found another imperfect solution for the problems of Arctic Fox...

This method required a great deal of his attention, but at least it could ensure the continuation of Arctic Fox’s existence under the current personnel structure, alleviating the pressure on both Blood Fox and Silver Fox.

With the former, Mountain Eagle was satisfied, Blood Fox was satisfied, but Silver Fox disagreed, and reluctantly implementing it might lead to severe consequences.

With the latter, Mountain Eagle was satisfied, Blood Fox was satisfied, and Silver Fox was equally satisfied; the state of Arctic Fox would be maintained, and they would look for ways to solve the fundamental issues over an extended time.

There was nothing to hesitate about then!

Mountain Eagle beckoned the hacker Zorn over and whispered instructions to prepare the already nearly complete communication software...

Then he put on his tactical glasses and activated Golden Cicada...

Having made his plan, Mountain Eagle decided to shock this bunch of tough guys!

They were all unbridled ruffians; if he couldn’t subdue them all at once, mobilizing them later for anything would be difficult.

It wasn’t about showing off, and it definitely wasn’t about money. It was just that Mountain Eagle wasn’t willing to spend too much on management costs within such a small group—it simply wasn’t worth it!

As Mountain Eagle’s brain raced with considerations, the others had also completed their shooting...

Shark, all targets hit, took 58 seconds, wasted 3 bullets, adding to the previously wasted 8, this guy was now 11 bullets behind.

Ham, all targets hit, took 39 seconds, wasted 1 bullet, adding to the previous round’s wasted 1, he was 2 bullets behind.

Scorpion, all targets hit, took 36 seconds, a total of 2 bullets behind.

Bull Head, all targets hit, took 55 seconds, a total of 13 bullets behind.

Eddie, all targets hit, took 28 seconds, without wasting any bullets.

Impressive Chickpea, because he insisted on shooting bottle caps with a pistol in the last round, missed one bullet.

The tough Camel also lost 4 bullets in the third round due to stubbornness...

Currently, only Silver Fox and Eddie maintained all targets hit without wasting a single bullet.

But Eddie, in order to compete with Silver Fox, completely abandoned the revolver with insufficient range in the third round, so in a sense, he was actually a bit behind.

Mountain Eagle wanted to leave an indelible impression on everyone; he had to use unorthodox methods, not only be fast and accurate but also show off some unrivaled coolness...

When he walked up to the shooting position with his tactical glasses on, Marta quietly walked behind him and whispered, "Good luck, boss, you can definitely win!"

Mountain Eagle grinned and gave Marta’s head a push, saying, "Of course I can win!

In the past, I wanted to interact with you all as a normal person, but that’s not necessary anymore, I’m laying it all out...

I’m actually the Gun God!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle, under Marta’s incredulous gaze, picked up the dice, immediately turned it to the ’6’ side, and placed it on the table...

Mountain Eagle’s cocky attitude provoked a series of jeers...

Shark and Bull Head, the two with the lowest scores, chased away Butcher and personally set up the barrier boards in front of the targets, then slyly skewed the targets away from the center of the barriers.

If Mountain Eagle made a single mistake, he might misjudge the distance and flip over...

The rules allowed this; that’s what Butcher did before, so it only made sense for them to fall behind so much, and now it seems fitting for it to bounce back on Mountain Eagle, the boss!

After the two guys were done, Mountain Eagle placed the AK-105 on the table and then nodded assertively at Marta...

"Do you believe in miracles?"

Marta, influenced by Mountain Eagle’s gleaming gaze, nodded with a gesture of the stopwatch...

"Boss, you can definitely do it..."

Mountain Eagle turned and looked towards the direction of the target rack, smiling, "Learning to kiss up at this point isn’t too late...

I think you’re starting to show some promise!"

Hearing this, Marta slightly frowned, feeling a bit displeased...

"Ready..."

Mountain Eagle closed his eyes to gather focus for a few seconds, quickly drew his gun to aim, then pulled the trigger...

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."

Shark and Bull Head were crouching by the side of the target rack, watching the beer bottles burst one by one, couldn’t help but curse...

"oh shit..."
