The doctor clearly heard what Mountain Eagle said on the phone, looking a bit incredulously at Mountain Eagle, who had just sat back down, and said, "Are you really going to save us?"

Mountain Eagle sneered and shook his head, saying, "Don't get too happy too soon. From now on, all the treatments you enjoy won't be free...

For example, the helicopter that's about to fly over to pick you up and the medical services at the camp will all come at a cost.

The price can be referred to the rescue charges in the United States. I heard there was an unlucky guy in Los Angeles who broke his leg while climbing a mountain and was taken to the hospital by helicopter. He recovered but was made bankrupt by a million dollars bill.

Hope your heart can withstand the shock when you see the bill by then..."

The doctor thought Mountain Eagle was just telling a joke; he shook his head bitterly and said, "We're just tools, I don't think anyone would pay our bill..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the time, shaking his head with a smile, and said, "Buddy, you have a precise self-assessment, but don't underestimate yourself either...

The elite medical officer of the Demon Group has been captured. If the boss behind the Demon Group is unwilling to even pay the medical fees, that would be really disappointing.

Rest assured, no matter how many people caught, I'll post your photos online...

There's a very interesting online service now called 'Unboxing,' and I know you wouldn't willingly explain all the issues about yourself, but the internet is a magical place.

Your family will soon know what you did. If they care about you, they should try to raise the money.

Even if they have no money, they can exert some pressure on the Edward Foundation through various means...

An organization that doesn't care about the lives of its members has no future. Even if the Edward Foundation is just pretending, it will have to pay up."

The doctor smiled bitterly, shaking his head, saying, "Impossible, if you do this, you will only invite relentless attacks on yourself.

Do you think that by humiliating us, you can strike at the Edward Foundation?

You're too naive!

The work of the Demon Group is combat; they will find us, and then more and more soldiers will come to rescue us or kill us, and then pin our deaths on you…"

Mountain Eagle looked at the clear-minded doctor and said with a smile, "Do you think you appear in Alaska at this time for no reason?

Do you think I care about these things?

Buddy, no matter how the outside world sees it, as long as you live one day, the Edward Foundation will suffer one day…

Believe me, I have many ways to disgrace the Edward Foundation because of you!

Even if you die, it will be my achievement, which will make others fear me.

See, I don't lose anything at all..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at the doctor shivering beside the bonfire and said with a cheerful smile, "Everyone has value, just see if it can be exploited.

I will save your lives and then send you to El Salvador, where I will build a super-prison. You will serve your long term there.

You should pray that your boss is generous; otherwise, life there will be tough!

Of course, the treatment for a technician like you can be slightly better..."

The doctor listened, terrified, and said, "What, what exactly do you want to do?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I will set up cameras in the prison and regularly post your latest status on the dark web every day.

In the future, you will have many inmates, and I will demonstrate your conditions to those who want me dead to show them the outcome of attacking me...

Of course, your ranks are not quite significant, but I believe I can catch some truly notable figures to fill the empty beds.

Before someone pays off your bills, you will need to keep working, working, working...

Your build looks decent, you should withstand it!"

The doctor looked at the smiling Mountain Eagle, feeling entirely cold...

This was no simple humiliation; this was turning that prison into bait, constantly humiliating the Edward Foundation, forcing them to bow or continuously send personnel there.

The doctor didn't understand where Mountain Eagle got his courage from; he only knew that as one of the captives, the outcome would definitely be terrible.

As he was thinking about whether to just end his life to prevent himself from falling into such a tragedy, the guy with a broken back leaned against a box, painfully turning his head and saying, "Don't listen to him. It's still a question of whether he can survive this winter.

Our people will destroy the entire Brown Bear Camp…"

Mountain Eagle looked a bit surprised at this unfortunate guy who couldn't even move, then nodded after a thought and said, "I'll wait to see how you destroy my camp, and you can watch it happen too...

What position do you want to watch from?

From a wheelchair? Or lying on a bed?

You choose, I can accommodate you!"

As Mountain Eagle spoke, he observed the man's conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but held back. He chuckled and said, "Oh, you want to intimidate me a bit to make me think you might have important information...

Actually, you can just say it directly. If what you have to say interests me, I'll have the camp's doctor provide you with priority treatment.

Judging by your condition, it seems like a spinal fracture. If we perform the surgery promptly, there's actually a chance for recovery.

My camp just happens to have two excellent surgeons..."

The unfortunate fellow with the back injury was Jacob, and he indeed thought as Mountain Eagle guessed—he wanted to elevate his importance by using threats because he knew better than anyone that his time was running out...

From the failed parachute jump last night to now, less than eight hours had passed, yet his lower back was already going numb.

All men used to living on the edge of danger, he wasn't particularly afraid of pain, but the numbness terrified him. He feared spinal paralysis more than a swift death.

Jacob heard the conversation between Mountain Eagle and the doctor; the more indifferent Mountain Eagle appeared, the more fearful Jacob became.

Because he didn't see any sign of their group's importance to Mountain Eagle. In their logic, being unimportant meant being abandoned at any moment, much less receiving reliable medical aid.

Jacob didn't want to die...

Seeing Mountain Eagle's nonchalant demeanor, Jacob struggled to lift his head and looked directly into his eyes, hoarsely saying, "You were able to ambush us here, which means our movements have long been exposed. Certainly, someone betrayed us, right?

But you personally chose to intercept us here, which means the traitor doesn't know much, or else you would have known that the more dangerous team was not us.

What I said is true, the Brown Bear Camp will be destroyed, and in a way you never imagined!

I need medical assistance..."

Jacob spoke earnestly, sparking some curiosity in Mountain Eagle...

Seeing he had successfully aroused Mountain Eagle's curiosity, Jacob glanced at the bewildered doctor and said with a bitter smile, "Do you know why we were suddenly sent to rendezvous with you?

Because a very formidable group came from the south, and our original plan was disrupted.

Initially, we aimed to force the Brown Bear Camp to divide their forces by attacking the natives, ambushing their people on the road, but because of the intervention of those from the south, our plan changed.

Our primary mission became to destroy the native villages and then prevent Brown Bear Camp's people from fleeing northward."

Jacob, seeing Mountain Eagle knit his brows, said sternly, "Did you realize something?

Our commander has collaborated with those from the south, and they are certain they can annihilate the Brown Bear Camp.

I happen to know what their method is, and it's definitely not what you think...

Drones, boats, mortars, these are just the basics. Our commander has something more formidable.

No one else knows about these things; I just happened to overhear something...

Give me the best treatment, and then I'll tell you everything I know!"

Finished speaking, the doctor beside him and the guy with the punctured bladder both changed their expressions...

Jacob saw the doctor looking at him in disbelief and said bitterly, "If we can't die quickly, then the only option is to surrender.

Buddy, we have no choice at all. Once this guy humiliates us online against the Demon Group, we will also become their targets, and no one will pity us.

Remember those vanished comrades?

Betrayal is an unforgivable sin to the Demon Group. They will stop at nothing to kill us, even kidnap our families and force us to commit suicide.

Doctor, you don't have family, but I do. I know what they will do, and I've been involved...

I'm not afraid to die; if I'm dead, at least my family is safe. But I'm afraid of living half-dead, being used as a tool to humiliate those people."

As he spoke, Jacob looked at the scissors in the doctor's hand and said bitterly, "Either you find a chance to cut my throat, or we will both become traitors."

Mountain Eagle felt he might have underestimated the Demon Group's grip over their subordinates. In his concept, such guys working for money rarely had 'loyalty'.

The reality confirmed his assumption, yet he still underestimated the Demon Group's intimidation power...

The one with the strongest will to live turned out to be the unattached doctor, while Jacob clearly wished to die more, only confessing because he listened to Mountain Eagle and realized he wouldn't die, so he voluntarily revealed secrets.

Mountain Eagle felt no sympathy for these guys because they were enemies attacking him...

He just hadn't expected that the little bit of 'kindness' he showed would hit Jacob's sore spot.

He wasn't afraid to die, but dreaded being resented by the Demon Group, feared his family would be harmed...

This made Mountain Eagle more determined to capture more survivors...

Watching the doctor's ever-changing expression, Mountain Eagle smiled and signaled him to feel at ease. Then he pressed the communicator and said, "Sled, have those people made any moves?

Remember to be kind to them later; we'll invite them all to the camp as guests!"
