CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 491 ARRANGEMENT

Blood Fox’s team openly prepared their plans, and Mountain Eagle’s private plane landed at a small private airport in Becksfield, a city in the northern part of Los Angeles...

Since Mountain Eagle’s team had already completed immigration procedures in Alaska, as a flight originating from the United States, there was no one to inspect them upon landing, nor were there any customs procedures to go through.

The airport was located in a somewhat remote area, surrounded by desolation...

Li Chengji fully demonstrated the capabilities of International Intermediary Company to Mountain Eagle. When they parted, she gave Mountain Eagle several Los Angeles driver’s licenses and made it clear that they were all genuine.

Along with the driver’s licenses came a set of identity documents. As long as he familiarized himself with them, there would definitely be no problem dealing with inquiries from United States police officers.

As they said their goodbyes, Li Chengji looked at Mountain Eagle, who resolutely refused to go to the safe house she had arranged, and said with a somewhat heavy tone: "The intelligence gathering is still in progress, you must be very careful of Bright Ladder and Replacer’s assassins.

I don’t have enough understanding of them, so I can’t give you any hints."

Speaking of which, Li Chengji looked at a group of people who came to pick her up and said with some helplessness, "You see, my personal staff is quite limited, but if you need them, they can assist you in executing some strike missions."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the North Korean bodyguards who looked very energetic, then smiled at Li Chengji and said, "If they come with me, who will take care of your safety?"

Li Chengji confidently lifted her chin and said, "Don’t forget, I’m the president of International Intermediary Company. I have security arranged by headquarters, and this position naturally comes with a Revenge Fund worth a hundred million.

And unlike the Revenge Funds for you VIPs, this fund must be spent completely."

Mountain Eagle nodded in appreciation upon hearing this...

That meant that when an ordinary VIP was killed, someone first needed to seek intervention from International Intermediary Company. Then an investigator would step in, and once the killer was identified, targeted elimination would follow.

How much money was spent was up to International Intermediary Company. Even if they spent just $100 to avenge you, it was considered the mission accomplished, and the remaining money belonged to the company.

If they really couldn’t find the killer, then there was no choice but to refund the money.

But it’s different for the president of International Intermediary Company. The whole hundred million must be spent, which means they have to find the killer, then draw a circle around him...

A family extermination!

Create a list of all related and potentially related individuals and kill their entire families!

Even if the killer can’t be found, you have to execute several suspects in a closed loop!

This is the magnificence of a colossal underworld corporation, and the security guarantee for the company’s president.

This is wholly different from those wealthy individuals who spend a huge amount of money to become Super VIPs, as what they essentially purchase is the privilege of not being targeted by International Intermediary Company’s platform.

In other words, their names will not appear on any task related to International Intermediary Company, and if the company senses someone wants to target them through the platform, they will be warned in advance.

They can’t possibly walk around with the sign ’I am VIP’ on their foreheads, making others tread lightly.

But it’s different for Li Chengji. The identity of the president is an open card – whoever moves against her will find their entire family, or even their whole circle of friends, eliminated.

Of course, this is useless against those lower-level figures who are unaware of the internal situation, for they wouldn’t even be able to reach that level.

But those small fry can’t break through Li Chengji’s security circle either!

Sensing Li Chengji’s tense emotions, Mountain Eagle smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand, thank you for your care and consideration. If needed, I will call you."

Li Chengji frowned and gazed at the suddenly spirited Mountain Eagle. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I think it would be safest for you to go with me to Beverly Hills.

The environment and police presence there naturally filter out most armed individuals."

Mountain Eagle smiled, shaking the newly acquired driver’s licenses and said, "I have my own plans. As we agreed, just leave two cars for me..."

Li Chengji took a deep look at the people beside Mountain Eagle, then nodded and said a few words to a bodyguard beside her. Soon someone brought over two sets of car keys...

Li Chengji stuffed the keys into Mountain Eagle’s hand and as she was about to touch his cheek she realized it was not right, then changed it to a hug...

"Be careful!"

Mountain Eagle perceived Li Chengji’s complex emotions. He wasn’t sure of the specific reasons, but he had fully appreciated the big sister’s kindness.

After tossing the car keys to Tiffany and the Butcher, Mountain Eagle waved to Li Chengji and walked towards the distant fleet of cars.

...

Tiffany drove the car, leading the way on California Highway 58...

Compared to the coastal regions, the natural environment in the southeastern part of California, once it leaves the mountainous areas, is actually quite ordinary.

On both sides of the road were dry bushes, and besides the vast sky and expanse of land, there was little else to commend the natural scenery.

Through the rearview mirror, Tiffany frowned as she saw Mountain Eagle fiddling with his handgun and said, "Why aren’t you nervous at all?

America should be quite unfamiliar to you, but I feel like you’re not worried. If it’s because you have Blood Fox and their team paving the way for you, then I advise you to start getting worried.

I don’t recognize many people on that list, but the Mexican Zetas Group, Haiti Group, and El Salvador Group are all very tough gangs."

Mountain Eagle pushed a magazine into the chamber, checked it after pulling back the slide, then slipped the gun into his holster before smiling and saying, "If you open your phone now, you should know the answer..."

Tiffany froze for a moment, then clumsily dug out her phone from her bag. After turning it on, she saw dozens of missed calls...

Just as she was about to redial the number above, her cellphone rang...

Startled, Tiffany almost dropped her phone but managed to catch it quickly and brought it to her ear...

"This is Tiffany Quinn..."

"......"

A few minutes later, Tiffany turned her head toward Mountain Eagle with a strange look in her eyes, and said, "How did you do it?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "What are you referring to?"

Tiffany, shaking her phone with a complex tone, said, "Some guy claiming to be Mori told me that I’m now your bodyguard and demanded that I cooperate with all of your actions...

He told me to stop at the next town where someone will deliver an exemption agreement to you!

What in the world is going on? What is an exemption agreement?"

Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "I knew there would be dangers, how could I not prepare in advance?

The main parties in this negotiation are the intelligence agencies of the US and Russia, I’m just representing Snowden...

They have the responsibility to protect my safety, but I don’t trust either of them, so I have to protect myself.

But as a lone wolf, causing trouble in the United States could invite pursuit by police and FBI, so I sought an exemption agreement.

Whenever I face any attack, I can counterattack without being held accountable by the American justice system.

In exchange, I have to act as bait to help the FBI take down several criminal organizations they haven’t been able to handle for years.

You’re from HRT, which is why you’ve been assigned to me..."

After hearing this, Tiffany said incredulously, "So any assassin or criminal organization you take down is credited as an FBI victory?"

Mountain Eagle shrugged his shoulders and said, "The credit can go to the FBI, as they’ll have to clean up the mess.

But the reputation in the underworld must be ’Mountain Eagle’s’, because I must appear fierce and tough enough to deter those who are plotting misdeeds but don’t understand the situation."

Tiffany paused, then suddenly realized that her HRT identity might come to a definitive end after this mission.

She didn’t know who Mori was, but anyone within the American system would realize how preposterous the orders she received over the phone were.

Even if the higher-ups in the FBI agreed, even if the FBI would gain greatly from it, she, Tiffany, would no longer be trusted in the future.

Because she had no leverage among the FBI higher-ups, without any significant figure vouching for her, her career as HRT, who had effectively engaged in unsanctioned activities, was destined to have no future!

Although she had anticipated this outcome for her future, Tiffany never expected it to come in this form.

She reflected on the nearly one month of rehabilitation training she had undergone together with the guy in the backseat...

Whatever Mountain Eagle did, she did the same; whatever he ate, she ate too...

Without the aid of drugs, Tiffany’s muscles had slightly atrophied, but thanks to a lot of aerobic exercise and weight loss, her stamina had significantly improved.

Moreover, Mountain Eagle clearly had no intention of letting her off easily; once he had recovered to his prime condition, he demonstrated his physical prowess to Tiffany, then seamlessly handed her a new training regimen while she was addicted to fitness.

It was then that Tiffany realized when he could barely walk properly, he had already begun to push her in the direction he wanted, or rather, had started to transform her!

Feeling violated, an irritated Tiffany said, "You’d already decided what you wanted me to do and tricked me with some bullshit training secret.

What am I in your eyes? What exactly do you want from me?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "To me, you are the best person to lead the Arctic Fox Rescue Team!

Asking you to change your training method was Camel’s request!

Why would a girl like you want to compete with those muscular guys all the time?

A woman’s emotional perception, endurance, patience, and attention to detail are natural advantages!

You, as a woman, not leveraging gender advantages and instead relying on steroids to compete with men is missing the point.

I’m not against women building muscle, but you need moderation because your strength has a limit...

Pursuing strength and sacrificing endurance and flexibility is not worth it for you.

And taking drugs that will affect your hormone secretion and mental state, leaving you to also lose emotional perception and patience, do you think that’s really worth it?"

As he said this, Mountain Eagle looked at Tiffany, who was still very dissatisfied, and sighed, "You should be able to feel it yourself; without HRT training camp and those steroid references, you should be in a very comfortable state now.

Tiffany, your competitive spirit has driven you into a dead-end!

HRT doesn’t trust female commanders, but I’m different, you’re my designated leader of the Arctic Fox Rescue Team...

You must have grown up listening to Arctic Fox’s stories, and you’re clearer than anyone what Arctic Fox means to Camel and to all the descendants of those who have sacrificed for Arctic Fox.

The Arctic Fox is currently in chaos, so you need to carry on your forefathers’ glory and keep the legend alive!"
