CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 400 HARVEST

People inside the building should be able to observe the situation at the tower crane...

When Old Qiao forced a gang member to phone Horned Demon Billy, causing the tower crane to approach the rooftop with a metal basket, the hidden exit was opened.

The first to crawl out of the hole was a guy with dreadlocks and a gold chain, Xiao Hei...

This guy didn’t bother to thoroughly check the rooftop, just casually glanced around, and thinking it was safe, he lay at the hole and started signaling for others to come out.

One, two, three, until the eighth person came out and closed the lid, their escape operation officially entered its most thrilling phase.

Watching the tower crane move to the edge of the rooftop and suddenly stop, the first to emerge, Xiao Hei, was jumping on the spot excitedly. If it weren’t for someone beside him covering his mouth, he would have already started cursing out loud...

Just as a man with tattoos all over and a red hat took out his phone to ask what was going on...

"Police, don’t move, put your hands up..."

A few gang members instinctively reached for their waists...

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Mountain Eagle followed Sheriff Redick’s lead and pulled the trigger the moment he fired, taking down several who tried to draw guns...

As people around continued to fall, the man in the red hat tried to crawl and open the ground entrance to escape, but he was continuously shot and then collapsed in pain on the floor.

Seeing Sheriff Redick changing the magazine of his handgun with the intention to rush over, Juan with his goat beard moved sideways, grabbed him, and shouted loudly, "Enough, enough, that guy’s done."

Sheriff Redick was breathing heavily, his forehead starting to sweat profusely. His excessive obesity made his heart struggle with the emotional excitement.

Dragging Juan a few steps forward, Redick found himself unable to break free from Juan’s grip, then gradually calmed down.

After ensuring Redick had calmed down, Juan cautiously checked the gang members and that very important red hat...

"FUCK, these guys are all ice drug dealers for Horned Demon Billy. Tomorrow the drug market in Anchorage is going to skyrocket!"

Mountain Eagle stepped forward and checked...

All the gang members coordinated by him and the Butcher Daria were taken out; two gunmen that Juan attacked also breathed their last, and only the red hat that Redick was particularly focused on was still breathing...

He flipped over the red-hatted man, tore open his coat, and found a Bullet-Proof Vest inside.

But seeing the man trying to breathe like a fish out of water, Mountain Eagle ripped open his Bullet-Proof Vest to check and found a bullet had entered his lungs through the ribcage.

Looking at Horned Demon Billy, whom he had never met before yet fought for life and death, Mountain Eagle squatted in front of him, observing his agonizing expression, and said, "Where did you buy the gun you used to kill police officers?"

Mountain Eagle pulled a US Army standard-issue M9 pistol from Horned Demon Billy’s waist, removed the magazine, racked the slide to feel it, and then carefully checked the inscriptions and numbers on it...

Seeing Horned Demon Billy start to bleed from his mouth and nose, Mountain Eagle suddenly said, "Black Fox?"

Seeing that Horned Demon Billy had no particular reaction, Mountain Eagle slightly shook his head and stood up, giving the space to Sheriff Redick.

The fat man walked over to Horned Demon Billy, stared into his eyes, but for some reason, he didn’t seem to feel the thrill of revenge; instead, he seemed drained, exuding a dispirited aura.

Mountain Eagle didn’t like this excessive negative energy, so he took out his phone and called Old Qiao, looking at the tower crane basket within reach, and said, "Send us down..."

As the tower crane operated, a STER team was sent to the rooftop, ready to enter the 5th floor through the secret entrance and exert pressure on the remaining gang members on the 4th floor.

While the police were busy, Mountain Eagle, carrying a gun, crossed the abandoned factory district and arrived at the other end.

They found three Cadillac Escalade SUVs, covered with camouflage car covers, in a very hidden spot...

Lifting the car covers and inspecting the three vehicles, just when Mountain Eagle was about to break the windows, Daria found three car keys in a small box at the bottom of a side wall.

Pressing the key fob to open the doors, Mountain Eagle checked one by one...

In the trunk of the first car was a large travel bag containing 1 million US Dollars cash, as well as four Marine Corps version HK416s with 40 full magazines.

Mountain Eagle checked the cash, noticing all the hundred-dollar bills were wrapped in plastic wrap and sealed bags.

With the intuition honed from scavenging off the gangs, Mountain Eagle placed the bag full of money on the ground and then lifted the trunk’s bottom cover...

one-kilogram standard gold bars, each clothed in a black velvet bag, were tucked around the spare tire.

Taking all the gold bars, he crammed the black velvet bags into his own backpack.

Putting the bag full of cash back, Mountain Eagle turned to the Butcher and Daria, who were checking the other vehicles, and said, "Did you find anything?"

The Butcher poked his head out from the back of a vehicle and said, "Boss, you better come take a look..."

Mountain Eagle walked quickly to the Butcher’s side, looking at two opened weapon cases with AT4 anti-tank rocket launchers inside and could not help but whistle.

In addition to the two AT4 launchers, there were four more HK416s and 100 full magazines in the car.

He forcefully lifted the compartment cover at the bottom of the trunk to take a look, and the space that should have held a spare tire was crammed with boxes of ammunition.

Mountain Eagle let out a somewhat surprised sigh, walked over to Daria to take a look, and found that the vehicle she was inspecting was set up the same way.

"This Horned Demon Billy has got some stuff, with so much military ammunition, he could make a comeback no matter where he goes!"

In the end, the three of them gathered beside the first car. Butcher glanced at the large bags filled with cash and asked, "Boss, what do we do?"

Mountain Eagle had already taken the most valuable thing for him. Even if he took the one million dollars, it would be very hard to handle and might lead to unnecessary suspicion.

So he pulled open the large bag, took out the top layer of 200,000 US Dollars, and stuffed them into the backpacks of Butcher and Daria with a smile, saying, "This will be enough, keep a hundred thousand as emergency cash.

The other hundred thousand, you and Daria take 25,000 each, and the other 50,000 will be the renovation fund for your houses on Sunset Mountain."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at Daria, who looked a bit surprised, and said with a smile, "If you think the money is too little, you can come to me later to negotiate a raise."

Daria shook her head and said, "No, I think it’s a lot. Anna is definitely not as generous as you!"

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle laughed and shook his head, saying, "You’re very accurate in your judgment. I might not be generous with the base salary, but I am serious when it comes to giving bonuses!"

With that, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "Put everything back how it was. I’ll make a call to Sheriff Redick; this guy has really earned a big merit this time."

...

Redick had not expected that after slacking off for two years, he would even have a chance to be promoted...

Standing on the steps of Horned Demon Billy’s building, facing the state government officials on both sides who were clapping with smiles on their faces, Redick was reminded of Mountain Eagle...

He walked up to the podium holding a speech manuscript, faced the incessant flashing lights, and fiddled with the microphone...

"I have to thank many people; the Governor, the Mayor, the Minister of the Security Department, and my brave colleagues...

It was they who provided us with help in times of crisis, allowing us the opportunity to dismantle this cancer in Alaska...

I would also like to thank a colleague from a foreign land who brought us important information, letting us know that an international criminal group was operating in Alaska...

They brought danger here!

But us Alaskans will not submit, we will tell them, no matter what they want to do, it won’t work in Alaska!"

...

Inside the interrogation room at the Anchorage police station...

Daniel Miller had been furiously scolded by the superior on the phone for 10 minutes, and it was only when the officer sitting across from him showed sympathy that the swearing ATF higher-up finally hung up the phone in a huff.

The officer asked Daniel to sign a document, then stood up and opened the door of the interrogation room...

"Sir, you are free to leave now..."

Daniel walked out of the interrogation room sullenly, only to see everyone gathered in the conference room watching TV.

He walked to the doorway of the conference room and watched as a sweaty Redick gave his speech on the TV...

Watching the officers occasionally blowing whistles and applauding as if Redick’s glory had also splashed onto them, Daniel shook his head helplessly.

Upon hearing Redick thank ’a colleague from a foreign land’, Daniel’s eyes lit up, and he remembered the Mountain Eagle from that night...

...

Mountain Eagle was currently engaged in an even larger-scale shopping spree...

Once he had demonstrated his resolve and capabilities, Old Qiao and Quida no longer treated him as a wealthy tourist with money to spend. Especially after Mountain Eagle gifted Quida with two brand new Yamaha outboard motors, the old fisherman showed great appreciation for him.

In Alaska’s remote areas, cash is not as useful as people might imagine. The small towns and villages along the Yukon River’s main job was to provide daily supplies for people living within a hundred kilometers radius.

The Yukon River camp that Mountain Eagle had purchased also undertook a similar role, and due to its location, the camp meant even more to the Indian natives living by the water.

This time, Mountain Eagle not only bought a large quantity of fuel, generators, and living supplies, but he also ordered loads of solar panels and batteries directly online.

As an old hunter, Old Qiao had to put his pride aside and rent two Cessna ’Caravans’ and a C46 transport plane, starting to run back-and-forth transportation.

Old Quida meanwhile went with the first shipment of goods to the western Alaskan town ’Marshall’, then organized boats to transport these items batch by batch to the camp.

Mountain Eagle’s schedule was thus delayed, but he was in no rush, on the contrary, he found a new pleasure...

"Online shopping."

He placed orders with many East manufacturers through Amazon, and somewhat surprisingly, completed transactions smoothly!

Mountain Eagle would have never thought that the online shopping network in Anchorage was so well-developed!
