At this moment, Mountain Eagle was not in such a hurry anymore. After all, Tessa was still on the plane, and it would take over ten hours to get to Alaska...

Facing the pressure and anxiety deliberately created by Blood Fox, Mountain Eagle had Daria bring over a bottle of whiskey, pouring a glass for himself and Blood Fox.

He clinked glasses with Blood Fox, took a big gulp of whiskey, exhaled a breath of alcohol, leaned back on the sofa, and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands...

Nearly five minutes of silence passed before Mountain Eagle sat up straight, looked at Blood Fox seriously, and said, "I did indeed overlook Tessa, and also ignored the situation over in Thailand.

Who has set their sights on Tessa?

I don't have many enemies in Southeast Asia, is it Pirate King Fayiz or someone from the Abu Sayyaf Group?

They have targeted Tessa because of the money laundering business over in Kamui, and Mr. Poincaré's financial operations in Singapore, right?"

Blood Fox admired Mountain Eagle's ability to quickly pinpoint the key issues, and with a smile, he nodded and said, "That's right, it's Pirate Fayiz...

Since you took down the Southeast Asian financial mogul Danet in Los Angeles, Fayiz has taken over part of the underground financial channels in Southeast Asia.

The smuggling network and hotel money laundering channels that you instructed Sofia to build in Kamui, along with the financial transit points set up by Mr. Poincaré and company in Singapore, have had some impact on Fayiz's underground financial business.

And you should remember, you left Fayiz in a dire situation with the cruise case!

Now you're not just enemies, but rival competitors too!"

Mountain Eagle listened and furrowed his brow deeply, realizing he had no time to deal with Pirate King Fayiz at the moment...

The money laundering network in Kamui is actually just a façade to attract fleeing personnel from East and assist smugglers with some laundering activities, allowing them to spend and invest in places like Bangkok or even abroad.

Mountain Eagle instructed Sofia to acquire several poorly operated motels in Kamui, along with purchasing two apartment buildings for renovation...

As long as the motel rooms have lights on at night, the fictional lodging transactions are valid, allowing cash to smoothly enter the banking system through the motel's operation.

Combining Mountain Eagle's previous acquisitions of gas stations and convenience stores, along with the various industries owned by 'Killing Bee' and 'Broadcast'...

This laundering path can handle 50 to 80 million Thai Baht per month, and with those apartments being converted into high-end hotel apartments, the number could continue to rise.

However, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for laundering black money, the real bulk lies with Mr. Poincaré and his team.

The Singapore Financial Office has been expanding, with the business of shorting South American foreign exchange being fervently conducted, alongside other operations...

It's not particularly complicated to say...

Because Singapore banks hold large sums of money from various Asian countries, some for investment, some for tax avoidance, and a portion that's literally escaped black money.

Logically speaking, once this black money enters Singapore banks, the most critical step of laundering, 'placement,' is considered complete, but not everyone can finish the subsequent steps, 'layering' and 'integration,' to make the money untraceable.

Mr. Poincaré, as an old accountant, is more skilled than anyone at these two steps, and with his own business relationships and channels, he attracted a batch of old clients from the start.

More interestingly, Singapore's Financial Office controls a fund engaged in foreign currency trading, resembling a washing machine that spins money around before investing it into an offshore company account, turning it into legal, untraceably sourced funds.

This operation has a complete system that can evade external regulations.

Mr. Poincaré's financial technology and sharp practices, combined with Chris Jon's maneuvering of foreign exchange platforms, form an efficient laundering pathway.

As that black money flows through this path, it leaves behind substantial fees, while also expanding the foreign exchange platform.

Once Mr. Poincaré's old clients successfully transferred their money, they sent even more new clients his way.

The fugitives from Thailand and Russia are essentially small-time players; what Mountain Eagle truly intends to do is deliver the big fish to his father-in-law in Singapore.

Those big names who use legal means to poach talent, Mountain Eagle certainly cannot contact them, but those who embezzled or defrauded around a hundred million, and transferred the money to Singapore, would find it hard to resist once they know this business exists.

For East, catching people is actually not difficult at all; the challenge lies in how to pin down asset traces of these individuals and recover the losses.

Mountain Eagle just happens to be able to provide clues in this area; if his father-in-law can cooperate accordingly, he could even charge for services in asset recovery when necessary.

There are many similar financial brokers active in Singapore; they charge exorbitant consultation and management fees, claiming they can help jittery clients move money to Europe or the United States, but in reality, half of them are scammers.

When dealing with these problem funds, their aim from the start is the principal.

With contracts and legal terms spanning thousands of pages, financial jargon incomprehensible to the average person, plus the weakness of those who have suffered losses not daring to speak out, these fraudsters succeed repeatedly.

This, however, highlights the value of the channels controlled by Mr. Poincaré!

Clearly, this has touched upon the interests of Southeast Asia's new underground financial king, Pirate King Fayiz; the old friend already detests Mountain Eagle because of the cruise and being thoroughly cleaned out of Thailand, and now they have business conflicts, which he probably can't tolerate.

After pondering for a while, Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "Fayiz targeting me is understandable, but why does he dare to go after Tessa?

Strictly speaking, the Edward Foundation is his main opponent, because that group of Jews swallowed up part of Danet's business in Southeast Asia and took over many of his industries.

This was when I took down Danet; he told me in person, and he also revealed some very important information to me...

I don't quite understand why Fays isn't targeting the Edward Foundation; they are clearly the biggest rivals!

Our operations in Thailand and Singapore, for these underground financial people deeply rooted in Southeast Asia, can only be considered minor nuisances so far, it shouldn't give Fays such a sharp pain.

It doesn't make sense!"

Blood Fox listened, stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "You mentioned Danet told you something very important; is that information about an accounting firm?"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he told me he had an unknown accounting firm in Kuala Lumpur where he stored all the transaction records from the past decades."

Upon hearing this, Blood Fox frowned and pondered for several minutes, then said in a deep voice, "Danet made a deal with Fays while competing for the Asian Region President position of the International Intermediary Company, handing over some underground financial operations.

When Danet failed and fled to the United States, the Edward Foundation squeezed out all his remaining value, then put him under house arrest, seizing all his assets.

But in fact, in the past six months, the combined transaction volume of Fays and the Edward Foundation has not even matched the period when Danet was in charge.

This indicates that Danet left himself an asset, and those transaction records might be the key!"

Mountain Eagle, at this point, wasn't in the mood to consider any tricks Danet might have left; he said a bit perplexed, "Fays ignores the real enemy and instead fixates on me, even targeting Tessa...

What is he thinking? What is he planning to do?

Without understanding his purpose, it's hard for me to decide on what stance and intensity to take in my revenge."

Blood Fox looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes and shook his head with a smirk, saying, "Could it be possible that Fays has cooperated with the Edward Foundation?

As I mentioned earlier, both of them took over Danet's legacy and invested a lot of resources themselves, but still couldn't uphold the scale and channels of the early underground finance.

I don't know much about finance, but as you said, they should be competitors...

But when they realized that spending enormous resources and energy to eliminate a competitor still can't reach Danet's level, cooperation should be a good option.

Fays is the real local boss in Southeast Asia; the Edward Foundation has a strong influence in Europe and America. In reality, as long as they are willing to share benefits, their combination is a win-win!

What do you think they need the most at this stage?"

Mountain Eagle realized this and sighed, saying, "Reputation and clients!

Even without Danet's past transaction list, they still have the current channels in hand. Now they need to establish their reputation and credibility to attract more clients.

Fays has also been doing such businesses in the past, but most of what he handled was black money from Malaysia and the Philippines; Danet's clients were clearly of a much higher caliber, and they are the best clients!"

Looking at Blood Fox, Mountain Eagle said solemnly, "If it's really like you said, then targeting Tessa is the Edward Foundation instigating Fays to retaliate against me...

If Tessa runs into trouble, my business in Thailand would be half paralyzed, and the Financial Office in Singapore would also be affected...

Last month, I made the Edward Foundation suffer a major loss in the financial market. They must now be in a state of hating me to death while being desperate.

They not only want to target Tessa but also want to disrupt and destroy me, and finally take over my Financial Office.

If my entire family dies in Alaska, as long as they control Tessa, everything is possible!"

Seeing the chilling look gradually taking over Mountain Eagle's eyes, Blood Fox said in a deep voice, "I always thought some of your methods were a bit weak, although you've always been winning...

Now is the time for you to make some changes; at the very least, after these matters conclude, you need to unleash the most fierce revenge in the shortest time.

Stop always trying to outsmart others; facing things head-on like in Alaska isn't bad at all...

Compared to what you're good at, most people around you are better at dealing with those who create problems, rather than solving problems!"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, saying deeply, "Tessa not only brought a team of soldiers from the 191 Battalion but also the ones watching her, right?"

Blood Fox sensed Mountain Eagle's murderous intent, nodded with a smile, and said, "Not only did she bring those watching her...

If what we guessed just now is correct, then there must be a contact in Anchorage, and it's likely the Demon Group of the Edward Foundation that we haven't found so far."

Then Blood Fox picked up his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Mountain Eagle, Tessa has taken quite a risk...

She's not only bringing you support, but you might also gain some extra rewards!

The plane will land in Anchorage in 11 hours. Are you ready?

You've been behaving like a businessman recently, and that's not good…"

Mountain Eagle glanced at the Little Dog Team gathered by the bar chatting, and he smiled, "We have enough manpower, so let's play with those bastards.

Meanwhile, I'll check out the caliber of the Demon Group; last time in Los Angeles, they got eliminated easily, but this time they're well-prepared, so it should be interesting!"
