As Mountain Eagle watched the hotel surroundings as if enjoying a joke, Kobe arrived at the Marriott Hotel with his team and had a fierce conflict with the senior security staff from the Special Service Bureau, eventually leaving the hotel looking rather dejected...

As Mountain Eagle enjoyed a seafood buffet, he listened to the Koreans around him speaking animatedly. Through the window, he saw Kobe and his blonde assistant walk out of the hotel, looking downcast, and he smiled as he dialed a phone number...

"Hey, Kobe, it seems like your task isn't going particularly smoothly..."

Standing beside a vehicle, Kobe perked up the moment he received the call from Mountain Eagle. He glanced around as he replied, "Mountain, are you nearby the hotel?"

Mountain Eagle couldn't see Kobe's expression clearly, but his body language spelled 'nervous' loud and clear.

Facing Kobe's question, Mountain Eagle chuckled and said, "Bro, I'm at your six o'clock direction, 200 meters south of the hotel entrance. Cross the street, and you'll see a seafood restaurant.

I'm seated by the window..."

Upon hearing this, Kobe immediately took a telescope from the car and turned to look in Mountain Eagle's direction...

Through the telescope, he saw Mountain Eagle sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, waving at him. Kobe's face turned ashen as he gestured for his companions to get in the car. Then he said over the phone, "Wait for me, I'll be right there..."

Mountain Eagle grinned and asked, "What can you do once you're here?"

Kobe, gritting his teeth, replied, "I haven't eaten yet. I'll pay for your meal, and I need some advice..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the menu prices and laughed, "Perfect timing. The buffet here doesn't include king crab and bluefin tuna. Since you're coming, I'll order them to try!

You can cover the bill, right?"

Kobe, on the other end, realized Mountain Eagle probably arrived earlier and knew more about the scene, so he said confidently, "No problem, wait for me!"

As he got in the car, he asked nervously, "Mountain, any news about those two thieves?"

Mountain Eagle put down his phone and glanced at a message and photo sent by the Butcher. He picked up the phone again, laughing, "The two thieves have been caught. My people are waiting for the plane to pick them up.

If you can streamline some flight procedures, I estimate that in three hours you'll be able to meet them at some airport in Anchorage."

"I'll think of a way!"

Kobe decisively made a promise, then got into the back seat of the car and loudly ordered the driver, "Let's go..."

As Mountain Eagle hung up, Donkey, sitting across from him, covered the tactical tablet's screen with a napkin, blocking the service staff's view while clearing the dishes...

Once the waiter refilled their sparkling wine and courteously left, Donkey, with a solemn expression, looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Boss, the Special Service Bureau isn't without action. Marriott Hotel's security has been upgraded.

They've set up surveillance points on surrounding building roofs and stationed monitoring personnel at nearby intersections.

The Anchorage SWAT team is stationed in the hotel's parking lot, while a squad of National Guard's Inuit Special Forces soldiers is stationed in a warehouse four blocks away."

Looking at the noisy Koreans around them, Donkey frowned and said, "But these arrangements are just a show for the Death Angel and serve no real purpose!

Without executing a strict lockdown, the Marriott Hotel is like a sieve. If the Death Angel wanted, he could easily infiltrate.

For the Death Angel, the only question might be 'escaping'!

However, if their purpose is to take high-ranking officials hostage and infect them with the Ebola virus, they might not need to find an escape route through the existing security lines.

With important hostages in hand, they can easily mobilize perimeter law enforcement to create chaos and opportunities for escape.

Moreover..."

Mountain Eagle looked at Donkey's hesitant demeanor and laughed, "The hotel's personnel are very complex. You're worried the Death Angel's people might have already infiltrated, right?"

Donkey nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly. Even if the Death Angel's decision to use Ebola for an attack was made on a whim, he wouldn't act recklessly.

Bribing a hotel staff member or having someone check into the hotel to conduct reconnaissance is the best approach.

We should notify the Special Service Bureau and have them clear out the casual guests, book the entire hotel, and register and verify all conference attendees."

Mountain Eagle laughed and responded, "Are you kidding? Even the President of the United States would only book a few floors at most.

They don't really care about spending money, but spending unplanned money requires accountability!

Plus, without prior communication with the hotel, asking them to evict guests won't happen without convincing evidence and reasons. Why would the hotel cooperate with you?"

Donkey listened, sighed, and said, "In this situation, the hotel is virtually defenseless. If problems arise..."

Mountain Eagle shrugged and said, "That's not my problem...

We do what we can and adjust our actions based on developments.

It's not that severe, Ebola isn't 100% deadly, and even if the Death Angel succeeds, we have ample time to deal with him.

As for those politicians...

If we can save them, then they have some significance to us. If we can't, nobody can blame us."

While Mountain Eagle was speaking, Kobe appeared in the restaurant lobby...

Looking anxious, he glanced around, pinpointed Mountain Eagle's location, and strode to the booth where Mountain Eagle sat, dropping down beside Donkey...

"Mountain, the situation isn't good..."

Mountain Eagle, noticing Kobe's grim expression, casually replied, "What does that have to do with me? I'm just lending a hand, and if the Special Service Bureau isn't willing to cooperate, I'll just head back to the hotel and rest.

After all, everything is just our speculation; the Death Angel might not even show up!"

Kobe shook his head gloomily and said, "No, I feel the Death Angel definitely will appear, and I believe the Special Service Bureau has intelligence sources I'm not aware of.

Outside the hotel, everything seems tight, but inside it's quite relaxed, and there are many media personnel.

I met the Special Service Bureau people, they seemed extremely tense but refused to cooperate with me in any way.

That's illogical..."

Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "It's just a preliminary briefing meeting, do we need so many media personnel?

Shit, don't tell me, someone wants to leverage a terrorist attack to gain publicity, making the Arctic Influence Conference headline news.

What are those people thinking?

Why do they think a terrorist would cooperate with them?"

After downing Donkey's glass of wine, Kobe said, "I don't know what's happening, but I'm very certain the Special Service Bureau is not entirely unprepared.

There are smart people within intelligence agencies who have wider intelligence channels..."

Mountain Eagle listened and subtly shook his head...
