Chapter 574 - 536: Insight
As Arctic Fox and the Round Table Knights finished replenishing their ammunition around the hill, the battle came to an end.Compared to the intense battles Mountain Eagle usually fought alone, the addition of two Mercenary Groups turned the fight into a more pragmatic affair.
Mountain Eagle was not interested in collecting the dead; he informed Daniel and Rosa to send personnel to seal off the mountain and handle the aftermath.
Arctic Fox disdained the gear from those Titan Group soldiers, but the Round Table Knights were very pragmatic in their approach.
Galahad sent everyone out, picked over the valuable equipment from the bodies, then loaded it all into a Pickup truck and left the State Park.
Their vehicles just missed crossing paths with the convoy from the Los Angeles Police...
work of the Replacer has been exposed, you can't bear it anymore, right?"
Kate shook her head, "Everything you're saying is your speculation. We indeed intend to collaborate with you to resolve the Snowden issue, and we fully understand the predicaments you face. However, your recklessness has become unbearable for many!
It's time to stop!"
Mountain Eagle sighed, "Talking to you all is indeed exhausting; you shouldn't just fulfill your needs and then dispose of me like a broken bridge.
The Titan Group's agents who came to kill me aren't all dead—there are still three groups responsible for tailing and surveillance, and two snipers who haven't been caught.
Kate, once I agree to your terms and lower my guard, I might end up dead!
If I die, negotiations between the US and Russian Intelligence Agencies will collapse, Snowden will go mad...
And then you'll become the scapegoat!
Those exposed tycoons in Silicon Valley, as well as Washington consulting companies, will torment you to a life worse than death, then tear you to shreds!"
Mountain Eagle, looking at Kate's slightly changed face, continued with a smile, "Kate, a woman aims to make a mark in politics, being tough, ruthless, and cold-hearted are essential qualities.
You possess all three, alas you still haven't managed to deal with your emotional issues, which prevents you from making the most beneficial judgments for yourself.
You despise me because I caused you to gain nothing in Thailand, even plummeting your career...
You feel it's because of me that you went from a special consultant who could sit down and chat with ambassadors to being a marginal political consultant only able to cooperate with a junior FBI agent.
You hate me, and that hate clouds your judgment…"
Kate looked at Mountain Eagle seated there, her expression strange...
She didn't know if it was a delusion, but a voice inside kept telling her, 'Don't trust him, don't trust him,' yet her rationality saw sincerity and security in Mountain Eagle.
Facing Mountain Eagle's judgment of her, Kate almost subconsciously said: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Mountain Eagle turned his head, glanced at Kate's expression, and chuckled, shaking his head, "No, you know!
The FBI actually has had little enthusiasm about the Snowden case from the start; it's only because the negotiation was set in Los Angeles, this big city on the West Coast, that the FBI had to get involved.
You weren't transferred here because you know me, but because your boss gave you a chance to handle the issues with Mexico, right?
Hmm, someone ruthless and politically adept might stabilize the Mexican drug trafficking groups a bit.
Let me guess, your aim seems to connect with the Gulf Group. Hmm, there's no need for undercover work because the CIA must be quite familiar with them; it must target others…
The Sinaloa Group, Guzman?
Right, the news has been mentioning lethal Fentanyl…"
Kate, with a strange look, said to Mountain Eagle, "I don't know what you're talking about…"
Mountain Eagle looked at the stubborn Kate with a half-smile, "Hmm, it seems I guessed wrong. It must be your people trying to connect with Sinaloa.
Taking down the distributors of the Gulf Group equates to hitting their competitors, which should eventually earn you some favor from the Sinaloa Group."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle rubbed his chin, looking extremely curious, "Am I right? If not, I'll have to ask around with my underground contacts."
At this point, Kate could no longer hold back, she was silent for a few seconds and then sighed, "What do you want?"
Mountain Eagle said cheerily, "I want to continue our current cooperation model, and I also want you to take over the Replacer's issue...
Rosa's not clever enough to handle many things, but you surely can!"
