What do the terrorists want?

Recognition from mainstream society!

Enough living space!

Enough sources of financial funding!

Mountain Eagle is not really clear about the identity and origins of this so-called Death Angel, but according to Kobe's description, this guy is an important figure placed by ISIS in the outside world to showcase ISIS's presence while also raising funds.

If the Ebola virus was really done by Death Angel hired by France, then it really hits Death Angel where it hurts the most...

ISIS definitely wouldn't mind taking the blame for the Ebola virus, or they might even extort Merck Company and Glanstrock Group together before the real action takes place.

Then they would use the conference issue to mobilize the power of the United States Department of Homeland Security...

Brad Russell is not important at all; what matters is that Death Angel can use this guy to indirectly inform the outside world that he has VX nerve gas in hand.

This step is extremely crucial!

Because saying it directly would mean ISIS has no room for maneuver with the outside world.

Only by balancing between "having and not having" can Death Angel skillfully negotiate with multiple parties.

Those big figures related to the destruction of chemical weapons certainly hope they don't have it, at least ISIS shouldn't admit it directly.

In such a situation, ISIS has a lot of tricks to play!

Anyway, if Mountain Eagle were in their shoes, he thinks he could drive those companies responsible for the destruction of chemical weapons and the people behind them to collapse...

After reaping enough benefits, they would use the Ebola virus problem to stir up discord between the US and France, winning enough space for ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Finally, by bringing out VX nerve gas as a bargaining chip, ISIS could firmly establish their presence in the Middle East region.

If Mountain Eagle guessed correctly, then in reality, Death Angel has already won, and now whatever Kobe does can only compress the opponent's fruits of victory.

The first step in Kobe's method to save himself is to ensure the security of the conference, then use the thief's confession to actively expand and expose the issue.

Only by dragging France down can they force high-level figures to face the problem, and only then does Kobe have more room for maneuver.

Otherwise, a small figure like him would just become cannon fodder, and he might even have to carry the blame to Hell.

After Mountain Eagle parted from Kobe's team at the hospital, he returned to the hotel and made a phone call to the Butcher and them...

After hanging up the phone, Mountain Eagle sat on the cold terrace, staring blankly at the starry sky above...

Daria brought a cup of hot coffee to the boss, then sat beside him and said, "Boss, what are you thinking?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the distant starry sky, shook his head, and said, "I'm thinking, what can I gain?"

Daria was stunned for a moment and curiously said, "Boss, what are you talking about?

We shouldn't even be involved in this matter...

ISIS terrorists are extremely dangerous, and becoming their enemy would bring us a lot of trouble!"

Mountain Eagle listened, shook his head, and said, "That's my excuse to outsiders; if even you believe it, then we would really have a problem!"

Daria frowned and leaned closer to Mountain Eagle, saying uncertainly, "Boss, did I miss something?"

Saying this, Daria thought for a moment, then worriedly said, "Do you think that Death Angel was originally coming for us?"

Mountain Eagle took a sip of coffee and nodded slightly, saying, "At first, I wasn't sure either, but just now, on the way back, I carefully sorted out what happened...

The Ebola virus followed the plane crashing into Alaska, definitely not a premeditated choice.

Death Angel accepting the mission to seize the virus is also unlikely to have been planned in advance...

But Death Angel had long been lurking near the Valley Laboratory and had contact with those excavating the lab."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at the pondering Daria and said with a heavy expression, "I hypothesize that Death Angel came here to excavate the Valley Laboratory, trying to profit from the ancient human remains inside.

He discovered the actions of Philip Royce and them and decided to delegate the excavation task, staying outside ready to assassinate Philip anytime, so he would warn Philip and them.

This can explain why Death Angel came to Alaska, but it can't explain the anti-air missile that shot down the Reaper drone.

What do you think a dangerous terrorist would aim for by bringing an anti-air missile to such an out-of-the-way place?

Who is more likely to be his target?"

Daria looked shocked and said, "The only high-value target near the Brown Bear Camp is you, Boss..."

Saying this, Daria was a bit incredulous, "But Boss, you haven't had any run-ins with ISIS, so why would Death Angel target you?

Was someone paying him?

No, looking at the timeline, Death Angel was in Alaska before we even went to Los Angeles.

The environmental and animal protection organizations were most active when you just got out of the hospital and were in the recovery phase.

Back then, we didn't really have any particular enemies wanting us dead; even if we did, they wouldn't be so patient!

If Death Angel was targeting you from the start and even brought an anti-air missile, a weapon leaving no escape route...

Why?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about that too...

This Death Angel seems too familiar with Alaska; ISIS terrorists shouldn't have that capability!

They seem to know very well the reaction of the United States to an attack; very much after the Reaper drone was shot down, these people actually retreated south...

They not only avoided the US Army's subsequent search, but also evaded my drone.

Bear in mind, the United States Department of Homeland Security has a terrifying budget, and they can call on satellites, drones, and other advanced equipment anytime to assist several Special Service Bureau soldiers, National Guard, and ISA special forces in conducting meticulous searches over large areas!

For Death Angel to dodge this level of pursuit means he knows this setup very well.

I even think this guy knows me very well; he might know that I also have drones...

Because I couldn't find them either...

This situation makes me very tense!"

Daria hung her head, thinking for a long time, then said, "Boss, if Death Angel really is after you, then we must leave Alaska..."

Looking at Daria's tense expression, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "No, Alaska is the battlefield I prepared for my enemies; I don't care about one more Death Angel.

Anti-air missiles aren't just any kind of weapon; this guy doesn't have the capacity to place eyes near the Brown Bear Camp, so all this time he hasn't posed a threat to me.

In the current situation, Death Angel cannot afford to waste time here; that guy has more important things to do now.

Moreover, his existence isn't entirely without benefits..."
