Although Woodman's task target wasn't Mountain Eagle, Mountain Eagle's reputation within Bright Ladder was just too loud...

He brought a few subordinates into Los Angeles, and from the day he got off the plane, he began a killing spree.

Mercenaries, drug dealer gunmen, assassin groups, almost everyone who crossed paths with him was eliminated, including military contractor giants like Titan Group...

The Ravenstone family took 20 million from others as a bounty on the black market to take his life, but they only exchanged a few words at a party. Then, he chased them into an apartment like chasing rabbits and finally nailed them to the wall, gutting them.

Then the Ravenstone family and Kaufman family teamed up in a showdown, gathering the Edward Foundation's hitmen Demon Group, utilizing the Edward Foundation's undercover agents in the United States Military, and even had the agents steal armed Black Hawk helicopters to bomb Mountain Eagle...

In the end, these people were taken down one by one in front of US Army drones by Mountain Eagle!

Bright Ladder suffered heavy losses in this process...

A group of elite assassins skilled in assassination were led by Mountain Eagle into a direct combat rhythm, and these skillful assassins died just like those war dogs and gang gunmen, some even without leaving a name.

Inside Bright Ladder, now there is a bounty on Mountain Eagle, 50 million dollars, plus the option to buy out the contract and retire directly...

To make the truly capable old assassins within the organization put in effort, Bright Ladder is not only willing to pay 50 million, but even willing to give up the contract and control over them.

You should know, an experienced assassin can potentially create nearly 10 million in benefits for Bright Ladder each year; 95% of businesses worldwide don't have such profit margins, giving up one is like giving up a lucrative business.

Now Mountain Eagle stands in front of Woodman, and this usually emotionally stable and cold-tempered traditional assassin just feels a chill!

His status isn't privy to the inner workings of the Snowden issue, but he can still catch some rumors around, he knows how big of a trouble Snowden's issue is, and he also knows from various rumors how much of a stir Mountain Eagle had to make to resolve Snowden's troubles.

Currently Mountain Eagle is absolutely a super popular figure in the underworld!

Now this super popular figure wants to use him to talk to the people at the top of Bright Ladder who want him dead, and he says it effortlessly...

Woodman didn't even feel scared when he was captured but now he's really a bit scared.

Bright Ladder's assassins basically all have controllable weaknesses, for Woodman, his family is his weakness.

When Mountain Eagle clearly stated he could give money to his family and protect them, the implication was he had the ability to find them...

This immediately elevated his weight in Woodman's eyes to the same level as Bright Ladder.

Looking at Mountain Eagle's seemingly unhurried expression, Woodman lowered his head to look at his phone, thought for a moment, and said, "If I help you make the call to them, they'll think I sold them out..."

Mountain Eagle pursed his lips thoughtfully, and said, "Then you can make a call to your family first, let them go to a place they can't be found, or let them go to my territory...

I suggest going to Thailand, I know a strong reconnaissance team of Rangers there, they moved there for survival under my arrangement and are urgently seeking business.

You can pay to hire them yourself, I'll have International Intermediary Company vouch for you...

Or I can pay for you, of course, this depends on whether the people above you are willing to spend big money for these two people...

If they're not willing, then you'll need to write me an IOU!"

Woodman listened, closed his eyes in thought for a few seconds, then opened his eyes to look at Mountain Eagle, and said resolutely, "What if I refuse you?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I'll get the media to publish your photo, letting the Department of Homeland Security identify your Bright Ladder identity and give you the best prisoner treatment.

My investigator friend will also repeatedly mention your cooperation before the media, and thank you for your cooperation in tackling the Bright Ladder issue.

Then you'll have to gamble and see if Bright Ladder people are noble enough!

Do you think they'll control your family, then find someone to pass a message making you shut up?"

As Mountain Eagle spoke he looked at the slightly grim-looking Woodman, and smiled, saying, "And let me remind you, this condition isn't aimed only at you. Even if you don't nod, I can try the other three people.

Maybe they love their families more than you do, who knows!"

Woodman listened, pondered for a few seconds, then decisively said, "I want to see the contract, a contract guaranteed by International Intermediary Company!

I don't have money, I'm borrowing money from you to pay the commission..."

Mountain Eagle listened, nodded to Daria nearby who had a peculiar expression, then admired this middle-aged man in front of him who seemed to have endured a lifetime of hardship...

This guy was smart, they didn't haggle excessively, and then chose the most beneficial condition for themselves from what Mountain Eagle presented.

Except for those loan sharks who have already recovered most of the cost, most creditors don't wish for those in debt to die...

Mountain Eagle promised to lend money, indirectly showing he harbored no great malice towards Woodman himself, and feels he can survive.

This approach to Woodman, an old hand in the underworld, offers a great encouragement, sufficient to propel him to comply with Mountain Eagle's demands.

Seeing Daria only made a few phone calls, tapped on her computer a few times, and truly finalized a protection contract on the International Intermediary Company's website, and showed him the information on several hired retired Rangers...

Woodman surprisingly revealed an account with International Intermediary Company and asked Daria to help log in...

While verifying the authenticity of the site, Woodman used his advanced account to complete the signing with those retired Rangers.

Finally, when Daria wired US$ 100,000 down payment over there, the moment the website displayed the activation of the contract, Woodman quickly dialed a number notifying his wife to book the earliest flight, and take the two kids to Thailand.

This guy detailedly explained to his wife where the cash at home is located, how to use a fake passport to exit, then transiting in a third country to switch a passport and head to Thailand.

After receiving a confirmed response, Woodman felt as if recovering from a major illness, suddenly relaxing considerably.

Mountain Eagle probably understood this guy's state, so he didn't urge him to make a call…

Until he received a text message from his wife on his phone, confirming that she had booked the tickets and was on her way to the airport…

Mountain Eagle was a bit curious about this assassin family's way of interacting…

He leaned over and glanced at the text message, discovering that Woodman's wife was downright concise, conveying her whereabouts in just a few words, as if even expressing a little concern for Woodman was a waste of time.

"Does your wife know you're an assassin?"

Woodman glanced at Mountain Eagle, a proud expression appearing on his face, and said, "She got into the business earlier than I did, and she's smarter, so she retired earlier than me."

Mountain Eagle was surprised and said, "I thought someone like you would marry a simple white flower to relieve the repression inside due to killing too many people.

Marrying an assassin, wouldn't that be very stressful!"

Woodman shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a job; we never discuss work issues.

Sir, I don't want to discuss my family problems too much. Can we start?"

Mountain Eagle raised his hand and gestured, saying, "You can make a call, put it on speaker, so these two will know how much trouble they're in."

Woodman's gaze swept over Miranda and Barry, his eyes lingered on Miranda for a few seconds before his left hand quickly dialed a number…

The call was quickly answered, and a lazy voice came through…

"This is Abel Ravenstone..."

Woodman glanced at Mountain Eagle, receiving a prompt to continue, so he said, "We've run into trouble?"

The other side, Abel Ravenstone, paused for a moment and said, "Woodman, what kind of trouble did you run into?

I heard that your task has already been completed!"

Woodman chuckled bitterly and said, "Yes, our task is completed, but we've been captured…"

Abel instantly tensed up on the other end, his voice low, "Who are these people?"

Mountain Eagle pulled a chair over and sat next to Woodman, taking the phone and said, "Hello, Abel, this is Mountain Eagle. You must know me, right?"

Abel Ravenstone paused, not hanging up but sternly said, "Woodman, do you know the cost of betraying the organization?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at Woodman, whose eye twitched slightly, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't get nervous, and don't always try to scare people, especially an assassin, you only have one life.

I've killed two Ravenstones, and I know very well that a bullet into a Ravenstone's head ends the same as into any other head."

On the other end, Abel Ravenstone was silent for a moment, then said with a deep voice, "Why did you call me?

If you're calling to humiliate me, then I admit you've succeeded…

But believe me, you'll pay for what you've done, I guarantee!"

Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "There are many people in this world who could make me pay, but you're definitely not one of them, and I doubt there's anyone left in the Ravenstone family with the guts to face me head-on.

Save your big talk, buddy, you can try getting someone to kill me…

I'm here in Alaska, my place isn't hard to find, and whatever you want to do, I'll be waiting all winter.

You'll see my words online today, and I'll publish them in the newspaper tomorrow.

If you're too afraid to come, don't blame me if you become a laughingstock…"

"fuck you…"

Hearing Abel Ravenstone's curse, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Buddy, don't hang up the phone, I'll give you some time to catch your breath, then we can discuss a big business deal…

A business deal worth billions, even tens of billions!"

"I have nothing to discuss with you…"

Mountain Eagle detected the other party's exasperation and said with a smile, "Really?

Woodman and his team came to Alaska to silence others, and now Glasman and the others are dead, but those two thieves are not.

If they fall into the hands of the Department of Homeland Security and what the Talan family did gets exposed, their investments in Wenbo Ni Laboratory will be wasted, and the stocks of Merck Company and Glanstrock will surely suffer a heavy blow.

I think the Talan family and the Edward Foundation took the risk to steal the virus not just to raise vaccine technology prices—that's too slow to make money, raising stock prices is the real deal.

Actually, if I choose to short the stocks of these two companies now, I'd make more money, but I dislike trouble…

Those two thieves, Miranda and Barry, are in my hands…

Before you refuse, why not ask others for their opinions?"

The voice on the other end, Abel Ravenstone, paused for a moment…

"fuck you Mountain Eagle…"
