"I am not a madman..."

Mountain Eagle stood behind his wife, Xiao Wan, pressing his left hand against her shoulder and helping her adjust her shooting posture with his right hand...

"Bang"

A 12-gauge shotgun shell fired out, and a bottle 20 meters away instantly shattered...

"Well done, try again!"

"Bang"

Another shotgun shell fired, but unfortunately, it didn't hit the bottle; instead, it hit a big tree behind it.

Looking at the splintered bark on the tree, Mountain Eagle shamelessly gave a thumbs up and loudly praised, "Very good, you've made progress..."

Xiao Wan turned back and glared at Mountain Eagle. She took off her earmuffs, opened the double-barreled shotgun's chamber, took out the shell, and complained to Mountain Eagle, "Look at what you've done?

Are you crazy?

How old are the kids, and it's minus fifteen degrees outside. Do they really need to practice shooting in this weather?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at Yue Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a .22 hunting rifle mounted on a tripod, focusing on aiming...

The little guy already had a bit of a shooter's demeanor, although it's impossible for him to shoot precisely while holding the gun, with the help of the tripod, he could hit the target at around 25 meters.

The little guy had the same physique as Mountain Eagle, not afraid of the cold, but just to reassure his mom, he had to wear a heavy cotton coat.

This made him look very bulky, and no matter how standard his gun-holding posture was, overall he looked a bit comically chunky.

However, compared to the appearance, Yue Yi was indeed serious this time. He abandoned the idea of playing and focused entirely on the shooting training, to the point he couldn't hear what's happening around him or what others are saying.

Focus is a scarce ability for most ordinary people!

Mountain Eagle watched Luna, who could score excellent results with a cheerful attitude, and after each completion, she would proudly show off to Yue Yi...

Unfortunately, after the past few days, Yue Yi had found his groove, and once he entered a focused state, regular distractions had no effect on him.

"Snap"

Yue Yi loaded a .22 bullet into the single-shot rifle chamber and quickly pulled the trigger with the bolt on his leg...

The steel target 25 meters away emitted a crisp sound!

"Beautiful..."

Mountain Eagle saw the bullet hit the center of the steel target. He smiled and praised, then looked at his wife and chuckled, "Look at your son, and then look at yourself...

You were a police officer once, and now your shooting skills are no match for a bunch of kids!"

Xiao Wan was amused by Mountain Eagle's comment. She slapped the double-barreled shotgun into Mountain Eagle's arms, then pulled out a Glock 17 from her thigh, held the gun with both hands, and continuously pulled the trigger towards a 15-meter target...

"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang"

"Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding"

Although the shooting speed wasn't fast, every shot hit the target...

Xiao Wan emptied a magazine, followed the standard procedure to check the chamber, then inserted a new magazine and holstered the pistol.

She glanced at Mountain Eagle, who was clapping for her, then turned to look at Zack, Angel, and Luna, sighed somewhat dejectedly...

Some things indeed cannot be compared!

In the past, Xiao Wan had already spent some time in Alaska, but back then the kids weren't very familiar with her, and to accommodate her feelings, everyone from Mountain Eagle to others always acted very restrained.

Over the past few days, Xiao Wan saw another side of the kids...

Zack and the others' innate talent was actually designed for shooting.

Extraordinary dynamic vision and excellent hearing gave these kids a powerful situational awareness, coupled with the conditioned reflex formed through high-intensity training in the lab, granting them lethal attacking power far beyond that of adults.

Compared to Yue Yi shooting at a 25-meter human target, Zack and the others were shooting at sparrow-sized iron pieces suspended by fishing line.

These small targets swayed irregularly in the wind, and anyone slightly nearsighted beyond 20 meters couldn't see the target's position, yet they could precisely hit these targets from a distance of around 50 meters.

This shooting ability has no room for leverage at East.

Mountain Eagle suggested Xiao Wan set up a shooting range in the country to prevent their abilities from deteriorating, providing the kids a training ground and setting goals for them.

Pursuing medals at the Olympics and various international practical shooting competitions is a very clear and challenging path!

Although these kids have allergies, imposing various dietary restrictions that drove Xiao Wan, their mother, distraught, she must acknowledge that as long as the kids are correctly guided onto the right path, they will become outstanding individuals.

Moreover, these aren't the only kids like Zack; there are nearly a hundred of them, all rescued from the lab by Mountain Eagle, including some newborns abandoned by rescued mothers.

They are still at the orphanage at East, relying on the welfare system established by Xiao Wan.

In the future, these kids will shuttle between East and Alaska, and perhaps add Thailand, for a welfare education tour across three places.

Zack and the others displayed a unique talent, suddenly imposing a huge pressure on Xiao Wan!

Simply taking care of a bunch of kids and raising them is entirely different from earnestly nurturing them to become outstanding individuals, in terms of the responsibility and pressure involved.

Xiao Wan looked at her husband, who was always beaming, and, slightly annoyed, punched him lightly, saying, "I can't teach them anyway. If you have the skills, go ahead..."

Mountain Eagle chuckled as he loaded the bullets into the double-barreled shotgun, then handed it to Xiao Wan, saying, "Where do I have the time? I have to go make money...

Otherwise, relying solely on donations, it'd be a problem just to buy plane tickets back and forth for those kids."

Xiao Wan raised the shotgun again to aim...

"Don't make yourself sound like a money-grubber, I already know what you're up to..."

"Bang," a few bottles in the distance were shattered...

"Let me remind you, sometimes you need to be a bit clearer in your heart, don't completely get yourself caught up in it, or you'll find yourself unable to turn back..."

"Bang"

"Actually, my dad can officially retire in another three or four years. If what you're doing gets taken over by some scheming people, who knows what might happen?

Your businesses are said to be in a grey area, but in fact, they can't stand up to scrutiny.

Your identity is special, don't always think about me and Xiao Yi, think more about yourself, don't be used as a gun, and in the end, be sold out!"

Mountain Eagle saw the serious look on Xiao Wan's face, and felt a warmth in his heart...

He did not completely arrive at this point by his own volition, but he still understood his situation...

As long as he was still Xiao Wan's husband and Yue Yi's father, he would always be the wanted murderer.

In such circumstances, getting too close to the country could easily make him a pawn or free labor to some impatient bureaucrats.

However, Mountain Eagle didn't mind. After he clarified the Salvadoran plan, his Shadow Fleet concept was finally completed, forming a complete chain.

The rest was for him to work hard to realize every link in this chain. With El Salvador as the foundation, as long as he could push the Salvadoran Government to shift politically, his identity and value would be amplified.

Simply put, what he is doing now has a taste of atoning for sins, so it gives others the notion they can manipulate him.

But once he showed utility in politics, it would be a different story. Does killing a few human traffickers even count as something significant?

Mountain Eagle did not explain his plans and thoughts to Xiao Wan. He smiled and pulled her into a shoulder hug, saying, "I have my own considerations; you don't need to think too much. It's all a simple deal, making our dad high-profile for a few more years. Perhaps by sixty, he could still have some residual heat to put to use elsewhere...

If our dad can take a step forward, he could definitely shield you and the kids. I'm not going back anyway, so who can really do anything to me?"

Just as Mountain Eagle wanted to encourage Xiao Wan to keep striving, his phone rang...

He took out his phone and looked at the number on the screen, frowning, then answered, "Luo Yang, why are you calling me?"

On the other end of the line, Luo Yang said in a somewhat flustered tone, "Boss, someone attacked Sunset Mountain. Miss Tessa got slightly injured trying to protect a woman named Selena and her child...

Chakdi clashed with that assassin and also got injured. If it weren't for the dogs on the mountain that chased the assassin away, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

Right now, Taigore, the head of the Crime Investigation Bureau, is leading the new 191 Battalion to encircle the assassin at Sunset Mountain, but things don't seem too optimistic.

Chakdi said that guy was particularly formidable..."

Upon hearing Tessa got injured, Mountain Eagle's heart sank, but he quickly sensed something was off. After thinking for a moment, he spoke solemnly, "Speak straight, what's really going on?

Is Sunset Mountain somewhere anyone can just slip into?

How come Chakdi happened to be on the mountain?"

Hearing Luo Yang's hesitation, Mountain Eagle, in no good humor, said, "If you don't speak, I'll fire you. You'll just have to rely on the meager salary from the Volunteer Police to get by!"

"Uh, um..."

Luo Yang seemed to be threatened by some people. After hemming and hawing for a while, he finally changed locations and whispered, "Boss, it's all Miss Tessa's idea...

But it's true that she got injured protecting that mother and daughter!

Boss, did something happen on your end? Miss Tessa has been very irritable lately..."

Mountain Eagle sighed after hearing this and said, "Explain the situation to me clearly. I need to know what exactly happened so as to know what to do next?

Sunset Mountain has a defense system, trained police dogs. How could someone sneak up?

With a North Korean vet like Chakdi running up there, it means you guys set a trap over there!

Chakdi is such a capable guy, and even in such circumstances, the other side managed to escape?

Are they Rambo or the Terminator?"

Luo Yang replied sneakily, "Boss, maybe even more formidable!

Miss Sofia hasn't returned from Russia yet, but she reviewed the video footage from Sunset Mountain and said that guy is the 'Mechanic'..."

Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "If the other party is really that formidable, how could they be trapped near Sunset Mountain by the new 191 Battalion?

Get to the point...

Chakdi running to Sunset Mountain means you were already prepared. How did Tessa end up getting hurt under such circumstances?"
