Chapter 1078 - 1012: Imperfect Ending
"So you just got involved in the 'Seagull Missile' mess like that?"In a Maasai tribe on the African grassland, two middle-aged men sat beside a bonfire...
Several African wizards, dressed in animal skins, with chicken feathers in their heads and masks on their faces, were dancing around the bonfire...
Two groups of formidable armed personnel were distinctively positioned on either side of the bonfire, yet the researchers in lab coats clearly from different regions were getting along quite well.
They gathered together discussing certain advanced technologies, and whenever inspired, they happily clapped and then used highly advanced smart computers to take notes.
Mountain Eagle, middle-aged, held a rhino horn cup, stared at the murky liquid inside, sighed and said, "Back then CIA gave me an offer I couldn't refuse...
Spanish arms dealer Alex Vincent, Pirate King Fays, and the youngest son of the Calpin family from the Edward Foundation!"
Mountain Eagle looked at the man beside him, smiled and said, "I just didn't expect things would ultimately take another turn...
Hyena, if I had known you'd be so 'uncontrollable', I should have laid all my plans bare to you at the start.
I never thought you'd team up with that Aaron, put on an act, and use John Carpin to fool the United States to death."
The legendary 'Hyena', middle-aged, suddenly smiled and said, "So back then that Spanish arms dealer Alex Vincent indeed went to Manila; he didn't disappear because he slipped away early, but because you took him down...
As for that 'Pirate King' Fays, what happened to him later? I sent a warship and a team to hunt him down for several years, and couldn't even catch a glimpse...
What actually happened to him?"
Mountain Eagle, smiling, took out his phone, deftly opened a prison live-stream, and laughed, saying, "Hyena, you should fire your intelligence officer, Fays has been captured by me and locked in the sea prison in El Salvador."
Hyena glanced at the so-called 'live-stream', waved dismissively and said, "I'm dealing with millions in minutes, my men focus on big transactions, where do I have time to watch your twisted live-stream?"
Hyena, intrigued, looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Back then you already had great strength, why agree when I hired you to go to the Golden Triangle?
There wasn't even any big business that could satisfy you."
Mountain Eagle looked at a group of young people in the distance confronting each other like fighting cocks, smiled and said, "Because that was where I started, I hated everything there, and since a big figure wanted to change it, why would I refuse?
Actually, just like you've never been to the Golden Triangle, the people working there weren't me, but a village led by descendants of Arctic Fox.
I've been chasing the population smuggling network of the Edward Foundation all over the world. When we met in the United States, you insisted on giving me millions to continue my work..."
Hyena listened, laughed and cursed, saying, "I hate you sneaky bastards, even if you do good deeds you have to be furtive.
I don't want the money, my wife started an international women's and children's foundation, donate a billion or two, then we'll be squared."
Mountain Eagle casually nodded, saying, "Money is just a small matter...
I don't have your boldness and luck, from the start I was tied to the already sinking ship of Arctic Fox...
I exhausted my efforts trying to correct Arctic Fox, then an Iblis jumped out and ruined everything.
You must admit, if it weren't for me bringing 'Death Angel' from Canada, you and that Aaron would struggle to get 'dirty bomb dividends'."
Truthfully, is that Aaron your little lover? Don't worry, I don't discriminate against GAY!"
Mountain Eagle saw Hyena raise his middle finger at him, laughed and said, "Aaron, that bastard, moved mountains of black money through the Salvador Gang for you, only for your sake did I give you a preferential price.
My wife set up a 'study tour orphanage,' remember to donate a billion or two, most of the kids there are the ones I saved from the human trafficking chain, it's not easy for them..."
Hyena looked at Mountain Eagle who 'found his footing' immediately, laughed and said, "Donating money is fine, I'm just curious why you make your identity so convoluted?
Thai police, American landlord, godfather in El Salvador...
Why do you bother?
Your first two identities don't profit you at all!"
Mountain Eagle smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't you the same?
Greek citizen George Pass, underground president of Central Africa, honorary citizen of Monaco, owner of a US military contracting company..."
Hyena listened, snorted and said, "I'm not like you, I don't change name or surname, wherever I go I'm always the boss of P·B, sitting in the first row at the United Nations.
At the funeral of the old lady in England, I sat ahead of their prime minister, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, I stay in palaces.
Dare you go anywhere and use the name of Arctic Fox?"
Mountain Eagle listened, laughed and said, "Indeed, I can't recklessly use the name of Arctic Fox, but I've stayed at Boss Pu's mansion in the Moscow suburbs, toured his train office, and visited Khamenei's secret basement in Iran...
I certainly can't go to the United Nations, but I can influence over a dozen votes in the General Assembly...
Hyena paused, suddenly said, "Shadow Fleet!
During the Russia-Ukraine war, a large Shadow Fleet was extremely active, assisting Russia in smuggling crude oil, helping them withstand several waves of sanctions.
My brother Qiao Liang said there was a Shadow Fleet operating in sanctioned countries worldwide, and they have a deep relationship with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
FUCK, you're the boss of that Shadow Fleet!
There's been speculation that the boss of that fleet is a French woman named Amelia..."
Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Amelia is a family member of Arctic Fox; we are partners…
Anna, who manages the Great Russian Cyprus Foundation; Amelia from AXA Group's risk control department; President of International Intermediary Company Asia, Li Chengji; plus myself…
Anna provides funding, Amelia provides ship security, Li Chengji offers intelligence and business channels, while I ensure the operation of the Shadow Fleet and manage the financial settlements, also taking on the responsibility of entering certain countries when necessary to handle tricky issues.
The four of us are the bosses and management of the Shadow Fleet!
Interpol has a department specifically investigating me, and the information they've gathered on the Shadow Fleet piles up to a few meters high.
I'm not afraid of being exposed, but if my wife and kids get implicated, it would be troublesome.
I hope my wife and kids can live happily through this lifetime…"
Hyena nodded in understanding as he glanced at the young ones not far away…
Seeing his foolish son grinning idiotically at a girl with an afro, only to be thrown over her shoulder skillfully, Hyena held his head in frustration, saying, "Yeah, keeping your wife and kids happy is what matters most!
We two really share a connection, even our hacks are versions of the same software…
In a few years, I plan to venture to the Moon, as a big shot in the Underworld, do you want to buy a ticket?
I'll give you a discount; your Sergeant System has a lot of undeveloped features, I'll provide Super Batteries, and you'll deliver the finished products, and then I'll mass-produce them."
Mountain Eagle nodded resolutely, saying, "Of course!
But forget going to the Moon; I still want to see my son get married!"
He then looked at the young ones in the distance, his expression complex, and said, "Youth is wonderful…"
Hyena, observing Mountain Eagle's complicated expression, pointed to the Rhino Horn Cup in his hand, asking, "Are you afraid?"
Mountain Eagle nodded, "Who isn't afraid? If it were just myself, I should've drunk it the moment I got it.
But my son and I share the same problem, and my home lab has already produced thirty versions of Tomica Herb medicine, but the actual effects are still unsatisfactory.
If this most primitive Tomica Herb cannot solve my issue either…"
Listening, Hyena patted Mountain Eagle's back, raised his hand revealing a tattoo at the root of his fingers, and with a smile, said, "Don't worry, you won't die; otherwise, they couldn't possibly exist!"
Mountain Eagle paused, then smiled and nodded, "True, if I die, your 'Stars and Sea' plan may just wither away."
Turning toward his son, Yue Yi, now twenty, had completely shaken off the shadows of childhood. He was not only an excellent soldier but also a remarkable leader.
Those children, transformed during infancy, have now all grown up…
They are strong, confident, fearless!
Just like the song says…
A generation will eventually grow old, but some will always be young!
Thinking of this, Mountain Eagle raised his Rhino Horn Cup and clinked it with Hyena's beer, then gulped it down decisively…
A few seconds later, Mountain Eagle fell onto the thick meadow, entering a deep dream…
There, it's full of his enemies, and he commenced a seemingly endless battle and slaughter…
Hyena told him that as long as he killed the enemies again, he could break out of the nightmare, so Mountain Eagle summoned his best state…
"If we are destined to die, then let's turn our bodies into swords and blades, clearing a path for the next generation!"
"If we are destined to die, then let's give our all while alive, so we can meet our enemies in Hell once we're gone!
"If we are destined to die, then let's leave a mark in this world!"
"We don't need others to judge our goodness or badness; they just need to remember we were here and achieved victory!"
