CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 450: COMA

Capturing Black Fox was an incredibly gratifying affair, but at this moment, Mountain Eagle did not feel that way.

The psychological sense of achievement could not withstand the physical discomfort. Mountain Eagle insisted on directing Crow to check whether any Jungle Ants had survived in the vicinity. After confirming there were no issues, he ordered Gray Wolf and his team to escort Black Fox directly south, heading from the traditional hunting grounds of the Indians to the location of the Huai’en Tribe.

Meanwhile, he persisted in walking back to the temporary camp beside the wetland with Butcher...

Then, without having any chance to accept interviews from media reporters, he embarrassingly returned with a group of pregnant women to the profitable Brown Bear.

Mountain Eagle could no longer hold on. It started with profuse sweating, followed by fever, and when his temperature reached around forty degrees, he had trouble even standing steady.

Before nearly losing consciousness, Mountain Eagle instructed Butcher to keep a close watch on Black Fox, and to make sure that Black Fox wasn’t exposed to any personnel from the FBI or ATF...

In the end, when Mountain Eagle met with Luna and those children at the camp, and after entrusting Daria and Old Qiao with the care of the children, he blissfully collapsed.

What happened afterwards, Mountain Eagle had only intermittent recollections...

He vaguely remembered Balang bringing back a lot of puppies, giving the children many more companions, then this distinguished Malinois also fell along with them.

Then they were both put on a plane, and all subsequent experiences came from the hospital...

Emergency room, surgical lights, doctors wearing masks, nurses...

Then the faces of people such as Blood Fox, Silver Fox, Butcher, Daria, Pigeon, Yuliy, Great White Shark Sophia, Mr. Poincaré, Middleman Mori, and others, switched like a carousel...

Mountain Eagle knew his condition was not good. He desperately tried to regain consciousness, but his body’s strange reactions always prevented him from waking up completely.

During Mountain Eagle’s coma, a series of major events occurred in Alaska...

ATF cracked a big arms smuggling case and, in collaboration with the FBI, dismantled an inhumane genetic laboratory, disclosing it to the public for the first time, causing worldwide uproar.

The instigator, Dimension Card Company, was condemned by people worldwide, but surprisingly, apart from Klein Soling, the actual head of Dimension Card Company who had died, no media dug into the background of the Solin family.

Compared to the overwhelming public vilification, despite the experiments conducted by Dimension Card Company being resisted within the industry, the company was investigated, and their land in Alaska was forcibly auctioned...

But to the behind-the-scenes players, the loss from the subsequent investigations was nothing compared to the root-and-branch strike by Mountain Eagle.

Not a single survivor was left, and the collapse of the mountain buried everything within, obliterating hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in an instant.

All participants in the operation were commended and awarded. Daniel was transferred to Los Angeles, an FBI agent was promoted three levels to the headquarters in Washington, and Tiffany and her HRT squad received commendations.

Although the operation report was ’flawed’, no one raised any questions.

It seemed like an invisible hand was manipulating from behind, desiring a quick and resolute act to put this affair to rest sooner.

And just as the situation was heating up, Apple Company’s iCloud suffered a massive data breach, with numerous nude photos of female celebrities leaked, suddenly diverting the spotlight of public opinion.

Alaska flared up for a moment, then, since the people from Dimension Card Company died so cleanly, the case was quickly transferred to the internal affairs of the Federation.

Besides assisting with the investigation and overseeing the aftermath, the Alaskan government also slapped Dimension Card Company with a hefty fine, effectively seizing all their investments and liquid assets in Alaska. After that, the company became insignificant.

Mountain Eagle had no idea about these developments; he’s been in a coma in the ICU of Anchorage Hospital for a full 15 days!

Many people thought Mountain Eagle wouldn’t make it, like the political broker Mori...

This guy might be the one who truly understands Mountain Eagle’s abilities. It was also under Mountain Eagle’s instigation that he tied his political future to the Snowden issue and made significant progress over the past few months.

Even because of the previous stupid thing the CIA did in Thailand, Mori was able to solve the problem by communicating with Mountain Eagle. In the process, he not only secured a high-speed warship for Mountain Eagle but also expanded his own network of contacts.

He raised over five million US Dollars from these contacts, hoping to hop on Mountain Eagle’s fast-earning vessel during the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike cycle...

But before the fast ship could set sail, the captain fell, aging Mori by several years overnight...

"I’ve bought a ticket for today’s flight. I need to rush to Silicon Valley to meet a few people. You have to tell me who I should contact if Mountain Eagle doesn’t wake up..."

As Mori said this, he glanced at Blood Fox, sitting outside the ICU on a bench, as if in the twilight of his years. Then he addressed the gaunt-faced Butcher, "Can no one among you make a decision without your boss?"

Butcher raised his stubbled chin, speaking in a deep voice, "The boss is strong. He wakes up for a few minutes every day. He will get better!"

Through the glass, Mori gazed at Mountain Eagle in the hospital room, his body covered in tubes. Frowning, he said, "I hope he wakes up, but you must have a contingency plan. If he can’t wake up, how will things continue?

I will keep doing my job, and I hope the Snowden issue can be resolved smoothly. I’ll call you if there’s any problem.

Buddy, I need your cooperation, even if it’s for Mountain Eagle’s sake..."

As Butcher was about to speak, Blood Fox raised his head, his voice hoarse, "You will get what you want!

Great White Shark Sophia is managing the work in Thailand. She will take Mountain Eagle’s place and coordinate with you. You can call her for any support you need, and Snowden can also release some information to assist you."

Exhausted, Blood Fox waved his hand, "Leave here. Until Mountain Eagle wakes up, you won’t gain anything more by staying."

Mori, to be honest, did not think highly of Blood Fox and the others. Faced with the old man’s cold attitude, Mori straightened his suit and turned to leave the hospital.

As Butcher watched Mori leave, he slumped down next to Blood Fox and said, "What else can we do?"

Blood Fox glanced at Butcher, his expression somber, "Do your jobs, take care of those kids, take good care of his businesses in Thailand..."

Butcher shook his head, "No, I mean what else can we do for the boss?

"

"I should have sent him to a better hospital, to better doctors..."

Blood Fox shook his head with a somber tone, saying, "It’s useless, Mr. Poincaré has brought in experts from various fields to consult on Mountain Eagle.

His body has developed a very severe rejection reaction, likely caused by coming into contact with something virus or gene-related in that lab.

Everyone in that lab was killed, and the mountain has been blown up; we can’t find a single person who understands the situation.

Now we can only wait to see if he can hold on; there’s nothing else anyone can do!"

The Butcher, upon hearing this, grasped his head with restless hands and scratched a few times, saying, "Are we just going to sit here?

The boss has taken care of everyone, and now that he’s in trouble, are we just going to sit idly by?"

Blood Fox rubbed his bloodshot eyes and spoke in a low voice, "Of course not...

I don’t know what will become of Mountain Eagle in the end, but I believe there are people he wants to see..."

...

In a luxury hotel in Jinling, Hua Country, Tessa stood in front of a mirror, her face etched in irritability...

Gazing at her reflection, she kept fiddling with her crisply ironed uniform, as though she couldn’t tolerate any flaws.

Mr. Poincaré, leaning on his cane, stood behind Tessa and said softly, "You look very good now!

You just need to meet Ms. Li Xiaowan and quietly hand her the phone, and I will take care of the rest."

Upon hearing this, Tessa turned around angrily to face Mr. Poincaré...

"Do you all take me for a fool?

Why do I have to do this? How do you think it makes me feel to face his wife?"

Mr. Poincaré looked at Tessa with tears in her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then said with some guilt, "I cannot think of a better way...

Please trust me, if there was any other way to contact Mountain Eagle’s wife quickly, I wouldn’t have asked you to come.

Mountain Eagle’s in grave danger, and I don’t know what will happen to him in the end..."

Tessa forcefully threw the bow tie in her hand at Mr. Poincaré, yelling in an outburst, "I feel like an idiot right now...

A Hua Country fugitive became a Thai police officer, and I actually slept with this fugitive, trusted him, accepted his help, and now I have to take his wife and child to reunite with him...

How do you think I feel?"

Mr. Poincaré’s eyes were filled with regret as he looked at Tessa, saying, "Tessa, I understand your feelings...

This is the fault of us old men, and if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me, and I can offer sufficient compensation."

Tessa, feeling humiliated, yelled, "Do you only think about money? Do you think I lack money?

I don’t need any damned compensation, what can you old men give me?

Everything you have in Thailand now was created by Mountain, what can you give me?

I want him to recover, I want him by my side, I want him to sleep with me, can you give me that?"

Mr. Poincaré looked at Tessa with a grave expression and said, "All of this requires Mountain Eagle to recover, only then you might get them.

Tessa, Mountain Eagle has never denied that he likes you. Other than his true identity, he has never lied to you.

All I want is to take Mountain Eagle’s wife and child to Alaska; this might be the last chance they have to see each other.

Her family has special circumstances, she can’t stay abroad for long, and even if Mountain Eagle recovers, he won’t be able to return to his home country.

Tessa..."

Tessa sat on the sofa, holding her head and moaning in pain, "I actually don’t mind that he’s been married and has children, I too want him to recover..."

Mr. Poincaré walked over to Tessa, draped an arm around her shoulders in comfort, and patted gently, saying, "Without your help, without the Thai Police Team’s name, it’s impossible for me to find her quickly.

Tessa, you just need to talk to Ms. Li for a bit under the pretense of being in the know, and then leave her with the phone I’ve prepared, I will handle the rest."

Tessa looked up at Mr. Poincaré, saying in utter helplessness, "I must be crazy to agree to your disrespectful request...

Do you know how much my parents and brother admire Mountain?

He could have a very bright future in Thailand, and now you’ve ruined everything!"

Mr. Poincaré nodded helplessly and said, "I know, it’s certain he can’t maintain his police identity, but if he recovers, he will still have you, and the friendship of your family."

Mr. Poincaré then sighed, "If he dies, what’s the point of all this?"

Tessa, who had flown for more than 96 hours in the past week, saw Mountain Eagle in the corridor of Anchorage Hospital, his body pierced with tubes...

Thinking of that man, who got himself into this state trying to save people, to save a bunch of children and pregnant women, she covered her face with her hands and moaned in pain...

"Don’t expect me to show her any kindness..."
