Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 709 - 658: Setting You Up
"Azrael, Death Angel, ISIS's enforcer, the angel spreading death and fear!"
After confirming the 5 million dollars had been received, Mountain Eagle announced the title of Death Angel in an exaggerated theatrical tone…
"You think you found a bunch of thieves, but these thieves are actually connected to the Death Angel. Once the Death Angel confirmed your actions, he planned a massive scheme.
Guys, you think you're smart, you think you can make a fortune, but you never expected that you were under surveillance all along.
The thieves you spent a fortune hiring actually made money from both ends…
And what you don't know is that the Death Angel connected with the French side and received certain support, obtaining quite a considerable reward.
Now he's carried out a terrorist attack at the Marriott Hotel, infecting several diplomatic personnel from different countries with the Ebola virus.
Such a serious terrorist attack, no way an ISIS alone can take the blame, I guess the reason he dared to do something so insane is that he thought he could find a scapegoat to divert pressure.
Anyway, if I were him, even if I got caught, I would drag you all down with me!
After all, you are the real culprits who stole the virus!"
As Mountain Eagle spoke, he heard the sound of things being smashed from the other end of the phone. He laughed heartily and said, "Buddy, do you think this information is worth 5 million?"
Abel Ravenstone yelled angrily, "Fuck you, Mountain Eagle!"
Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Are you only capable of hurling insults now?
Haha, I've found the weakness of the Edward Foundation. You're just mice in a gutter, you're also afraid of being noticed by the authorities.
Buddy, if you want to trouble me in the future, come at me openly. If I get killed, I deserved it.
But if I find out you target anyone else besides me, don't blame me…"
"What can you do? Besides knowing my name, you know nothing about us!"
Mountain Eagle laughed heartily and said, "I can learn from the Death Angel. I can also be someone from the Edward Foundation…
I will take down Kaufman Family's underground banks one by one, and then, using the name of Bright Ladder, send blackmail letters to the billionaires on the US rich list in order.
If they ignore me, I'll do things like cutting cables or blowing up dams. If that's not enough, I can find a way to paralyze internal American railroad transport.
I don't need money. I just want everyone to know about the Edward Foundation's existence!
Let me tell you, when I go crazy, even I am scared. I will make everyone fear you!
You are the Jewish Family Alliance, they are very well aware, when a lie is told a thousand times, it becomes the truth.
You will become rats crossing the street, the thorn in the side of every national security department in the world. Most importantly, I will offend every financial giant on your behalf.
You guess, even if they know you are innocent, what will they do?"
Mountain Eagle's insane ramblings plunged Abel Ravenstone into silence…
Because this sort of thing could indeed happen, and Mountain Eagle had the capability to achieve what he just said.
When someone like him gives up everything and goes underground to conduct Lone Wolf-style attacks, anything is possible.
And the most ironic part is, at the scale of the Edward Foundation, even if political and business giants know they are innocent, no one would sympathize with them.
Those political and business giants would surely lay all the blame on the Edward Foundation, because they have the power to compensate, while an individual like Mountain Eagle certainly does not.
Sensing an icy chill throughout his body, Abel Ravenstone gasped angrily, yelling, "Mountain Eagle, you don't know what you're saying, you're driving yourself into a dead end.
We'll stop at nothing to take you down…"
Mountain Eagle casually said, "Were we friends before all this? Don't act like you're hoping I live a long life…
If you want to kill me, come on then!
Mercenaries, assassins, or your Demon Group, no matter how many you send, I'll be waiting for you in Alaska.
The winter here lasts 8 months; I will stay here the whole time.
If you don't show up, I'll consider it a surrender. If in the future I or anyone around me encounters your targeting again, I will act as I said before…
Believe me, maybe I can't defeat you head-on, but I can wipe out every visible family member of yours, and drag the entire Edward Foundation into the abyss!"
Mountain Eagle's real threats rendered Abel Ravenstone silent, and the heavy breathing from the other end of the phone showed that the guy was not calm…
A few minutes later, Abel Ravenstone suddenly softened his tone and said, "Mountain Eagle, we don't have to become enemies, we can collaborate!
There are many areas where we can cooperate…"
Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "If you want to cooperate, you must be honest. I know now that your Ravenstone Family is in the assassin business, the Kaufman Family is in underground finance, and the Talan Family is in pharmaceuticals…
Oh, when I was in Moscow, I heard about a family called Karpin, it seems they are also among your ranks, and they run the largest black market in Europe.
The Edward Foundation has other families, tell me what they're up to, so we can avoid conflicts in the future…"
Abel Ravenstone was taken aback by the question and then said gravely, "Mountain Eagle, some things you're not supposed to inquire about!"
Mountain Eagle nonchalantly said, "Then there's nothing to discuss!
I don't care, I'm just a barefoot person, definitely not afraid to go all out against you shoe-wearers.
Either you negotiate peace and give me enough compensation so our paths don't cross.
Or you come openly to Alaska to find me!
Don't try those tricks of stabilizing me while stabbing me in the back. As long as your target is me, we'll face off according to the Jianghu Rules where family is off-limits."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle didn't give Abel Ravenstone a chance to reply, he glanced at his watch and said in a deep voice, "You have 15 minutes left, now tell me, how much are you willing to pay for the lives of these two thieves?
You have only one chance to bid!"
On the other end of the phone, Abel Ravenstone was taken aback, then angrily said, "$50 million, I'll give you $50 million, let them die!"
Mountain Eagle looked at Miranda and Barry's pale faces, he smiled and said, "That price is too low..."
After finishing, Mountain Eagle hung up the phone without waiting for Abel Ravenstone to reply, then broke the SIM card and threw it on the ground...
Looking at the expressionless Woodman, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "It seems the people of the Levinston Family aren't particularly concerned about the lives of you assassins...
This Abel didn't even bother to mention you!"
Woodman shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Assassins are just tools to them!
For us, being an assassin is just a job, only Bright Ladder's contracts are a bit demanding.
But compared to the business they provide, these are things we should endure."
Mountain Eagle rarely encounters someone who thinks things through so clearly, especially since he's an assassin...
Compared to the money-grubbing Matthias, this Woodman is the standard toolman, simple and direct, as long as the money's enough, he can love his job too!
Admiringly patting Woodman on the shoulder, Mountain Eagle signaled the Butcher to tie Woodman's left hand again and carry him back.
After the Butcher and others carried Woodman away, Mountain Eagle looked at the already pale-faced two thieves, he smiled and said, "Congratulations on using your stubbornness to turn yourselves into $50 million victims, ladies and gentlemen.
Believe me, that price can go higher, the Edward Foundation would be willing to pay more to eliminate you.
You have 10 minutes left, tell me all the information you know about the Death Angel, then I'll alert the Department of Homeland Security to provide you with the most comprehensive protection, even my team can join in to protect you."
Miranda only then realized that Mountain Eagle never planned to demand bounty from the Edward Foundation...
This guy used the Death Angel to extort $5 million from the Edward Foundation, making a big enemy for the Death Angel.
Then, after pointing out the Edward Foundation's weakness, he forced them to offer a $50 million bounty, but ultimately harshly rejected them, while pushing her and Barry into a dead end.
This guy doesn't care about the life and death of the Edward Foundation at all, he just wants to see this group take a big fall in the financial market!
The Edward Foundation, to protect its interests, would stop at nothing to try and get rid of her and Barry.
And this process will deepen their feud with the Department of Homeland Security!
Miranda knew that if she and Barry wanted to survive, the only choice seemed to be to cooperate with Mountain Eagle!
Mountain Eagle didn't resort to overly cruel means but pushed the pressure to the limit...
But the beautiful female thief hesitated for a moment, then resolutely closed her eyes...
"I know nothing, and I will say nothing..."
Seeing this smart female thief make such an inhumane choice, Mountain Eagle frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Miss, what you said exposed a lot, you know there are many cruel enough punishments in this world to make people talk...
Especially for women, it's even more brutal."
Miranda's eyelid twitched, she didn't look at Mountain Eagle's expression, instead she bowed her head and said, "The people from the Department of Homeland Security will be here soon, before that, you won't get anything from me..."
Mountain Eagle looked at Miranda's appearance and suddenly laughed, saying, "It seems you are very close to the Death Angel, so you believe he will rescue you, right?
Especially since he now holds ace cards..."
As he said this, Mountain Eagle withdrew his gaze from the unresponsive Miranda and turned to the frightened Barry...
"Brother, you also heard just now, the Edward Foundation is willing to pay $50 million for your lives.
You should have heard what that assassin brother said earlier, as an employee of the Bright Ladder Killer Group, he had to entrust me to help evacuate his family.
Imagine what the Edward Foundation would do to make you keep your mouth shut!
I can tell you clearly, the power of the Edward Foundation is much greater than that of the Death Angel.
As your employer, they will certainly find your family soon, then find a way to get their photos to you, to make you close your mouth!
I guess Miranda has a thing with the Death Angel, so she can act so calm, but what about you?"
Barry's handsome face turned pale with despair; he clenched his teeth for a while and said in a trembling, low voice, "I, I've never met the Death Angel, the person who found me and threatened me to join Miranda's team was a Middle Eastern man..."
As Barry said this, he saw Mountain Eagle's disappointed look, and at the same time saw Sled beside him grin fiendishly as he moved the spoon closer to his eye socket. He recalled some cruel images, and with the earlier trade between Woodman and Mountain Eagle, he collapsed and shouted, "No, no, no, agree to one condition, I'll give you a piece of important information..."
