Sofia detected Mountain Eagle's doubts and smiled as she said, "Mikhailovich had a run-in with an oligarch's son at the restaurant in the Moscow Hilton Hotel, which escalated into a serious conflict in the hotel's parking lot."

Mountain Eagle curiously asked, "Did that guy kill someone?"

Sofia seemed to think of something particularly amusing, let out a slight laugh, and said, "No, Mikhailovich was beaten into the hospital, and then, in the early hours of the next morning, that oligarch's heir and several of his bodyguards were found dead in a villa.

Mikhailovich was then arrested as a suspect due to the previous conflict and ended up being detained for three years, without investigation, without trial…

Last year, that oligarch faced retribution due to some issues, but Mikhailovich was forgotten in a high-security detention center."

Mountain Eagle listened, somewhat bemused, and said, "Don't tell me that guy was wronged…"

Sofia chuckled and said, "He really was wronged, because it was an assassin I arranged that took out that oligarch's heir, and it was also someone I arranged who took down the old oligarch who put Mikhailovich in the detention center.

That father and son hurt many people, framed many people into jail…

You know how I used to do business, so in some way, Mikhailovich and I have similarities.

Except I ran an assassin network for money, while that guy killed for a reason I can't quite comprehend.

Boss, he is a very suitable choice for a team leader!"

Mountain Eagle nodded in agreement and then said, "If it's really like you say, then he certainly is suitable.

But why would someone like him listen to you?

From what you just said, it seems this guy still has channels and connections outside, indicating he probably still has quite a bit of assets. Why would he join my outlandish plan?"

Sofia thought for a bit, then said, "I'm not sure either, but when he heard about leading a bunch of madmen, he seemed very excited!

What this guy did in the past sounds somewhat chivalrous, but in reality, he is a classic antisocial personality.

He can sense external public emotions, understands what's just, evil, chaotic, sad, but has no similar emotions himself, and all his outward expressions are guided by his rational mind telling him that's how he should express it…

He doesn't feel guilt, doesn't self-reproach, doesn't have a sense of shame, and almost nothing can genuinely excite him.

Thus seeking thrills became his driving force!

Now he's really interested in those madmen…

Do you know what this implies?"

Mountain Eagle sighed, gazing at the snow-covered forest in the distance, and said leisurely, "This guy feels he found his kind…

Now I suddenly doubt if my decision was a bit too hasty?

This bunch of lunatics coming together, who knows what they might do…

Perhaps I should consider drafting a contingency plan…"

Sofia listened and said indifferently, "Boss, when you feel they are beyond control, you don't even need to lift a finger, they will lead themselves to destruction."

Mountain Eagle didn't know why Sofia spoke with such certainty, but as she was the expert in managing assassins, trusting professionals was his good habit, so he decisively said, "Then send that Mikhailovich to El Salvador…

Mori happens to be going there to discuss prison business, and can also help solve those guys' identity issues.

Let them coordinate in El Salvador, once I'm done here, we'll try finding them a suitable target."

Sofia wasted no words, immediately said, "OK, I'll get Mikhailovich out of prison tomorrow and head to Thailand with him, to see if I can persuade the Mechanic, Kane.

If all goes well, I'll arrange for them to head to El Salvador within a week.

Boss, you need to remind Matthias, the one supporting the reception, that these people are very dangerous…"

Mountain Eagle, hearing this, suddenly imagined Matthias flying into a rage, then chuckled and said, "It's fine, that guy is a top-notch expert, and he's in this line of work as an assassin, so having him train a bunch of maniacs is quite within his expertise."

Ending the call with Sofia, Mountain Eagle called Luo Yang again. After confirming Tessa's whereabouts, he abandoned the idea of stopping Tessa from coming to Alaska and instead arranged for North Korean boss Chakdi to accompany her for protection…

He honestly had little trust in Supa and the members of the 191 Battalion, as this group had put on several comedies right under his nose.

Even after their training with Seal Six Team members, Mountain Eagle held doubts about whether these Southeast Asian brothers could adapt to Alaska.

Envisioning the scene he was about to face, Mountain Eagle suddenly thought that going out with the Butcher and the others to meet the adversary might be a good choice.

"Why does no one believe I've made full preparations?"

Mountain Eagle listened to the noise inside the house. He didn't feel like going inside to rest; instead, he sat on the bench on the terrace, helplessly gazing at the sky, mumbling to himself, hoping God would suddenly drop a hint so he could smoothly get through the awkward situation about to arise.

Just as Mountain Eagle was thinking of a solution in the cold wind, Yuliy, with her blonde hair, walked up to him holding a phone…

Yuliy was somewhat more cheerful than her twin sister Daria, and life at East indeed made her whole demeanor more relaxed.

Seeing the boss staring blankly into the cold wind on the terrace, Yuliy rubbed her hands and walked up to him, giggling, "Boss, the missus just took a call, and she said you should find somewhere else to sleep tonight…"

Mountain Eagle didn't react immediately, and he frowned as he looked at Yuliy, who seemed a bit gloating, saying, "What do you mean? What call?"

Yuliy replied with a smile, "It was a call from Miss Tessa in Thailand. The missus was very angry after taking the call, so…"

"What the fuck??"

Yuliy looked at her boss's frustrated expression and said with a smile, "Boss, I suggest you best lay low right now. After the call, the missus was cleaning her gun and asked about spots around the camp suitable for burying someone.

But don't worry, it's definitely not aimed at you!"

Mountain Eagle observed the amusement in Yuliy's eyes and helplessly rubbed his cheeks, saying, "It's scarier when she targets others, isn't it?"

Mountain Eagle continued with annoyance, "My wife is such a good person; surely, it's from being with you rough women for too long, you've corrupted her!"

Yuliy, hearing this, opened her mouth wide in disbelief and said, "Boss, do you want to hear yourself?

Mrs. Li has always been a rational and strong person; the person who angered her isn't us.

Moreover, as Mrs. Li's assistant, I think wanting to get rid of Tessa is the most normal thought."

Mountain Eagle noticed that Yuliy had obviously chosen sides and replied irritably, "If you came to me just to annoy me, congratulations, you've succeeded, but now next month's salary is gone.

You and your sister look the same, but unfortunately, your brains aren't that useful; I think you have no future."

Yuliy wasn't afraid of Mountain Eagle at all, and she giggled, "Boss, I'm just here to pass a message, but I suggest you not be so obedient.

Here's a little insider info: Tessa has been flying to East once a week for the past few months, and each time Mrs. Li asked me to arrange accommodations for her.

She's actually been trying to get in touch with Mrs. Li all along and has invested some resources into welfare projects.

Their relationship is actually quite good…"

Mountain Eagle felt a chill looking at Yuliy and said, incredulously, "I know Tessa goes back home, but you're saying my wife asked you to arrange accommodation for Tessa?"

Yuliy shrugged and said, "There were a few times Mrs. Li even invited Miss Tessa to stay over at the house.

Back then, I thought Mrs. Li might try poisoning her or something; I specifically went to a chemical store to buy some stuff, Griffin's people even bought suitcases for the bodies, but they weren't needed…"

Mountain Eagle looked at Yuliy helplessly and said, "Before I announce your dismissal, you have a chance to change the topic to something that makes me happy."

Yuliy cleared her throat, adjusted her expression, and said, "Boss, if Mrs. Li and Tessa fell into the Yukon River at the same time, who would you save?"

Mountain Eagle was annoyed by Yuliy's question, waving his hand saying, "I'll fish them both up…

If you dare say I can only save one, you can get lost right away!"

Yuliy shrugged her shoulders and handed the phone to Mountain Eagle, saying, "Boss, I thought I was pretty obvious, but unfortunately, you missed an excellent opportunity…"

Mountain Eagle took the phone and saw it showing an ongoing call; he didn't bother to understand the situation anymore, sighing as he put the phone to his ear, weakly saying, "Hello…"

The person on the other end was silent for a moment, then the dial tone sounded from the phone…

Mountain Eagle deflatedly handed the phone back to Yuliy, saying, "It was Tessa, right?"

Yuliy looked at Mountain Eagle's dejected state and smiled, "Boss, you should perk up; things might not be as you think.

What you should focus on most is the crisis that could happen at any time, not these personal emotional matters."

Mountain Eagle frowned at the chatty Yuliy and said irritably, "Can you be clearer? I feel like something is definitely happening that I don't know about…

What exactly are you all keeping from me?"

Yuliy cleared her throat, her expression slightly strange, and said, "Mrs. Li suggested you head straight to Anchorage tonight because there's definite intel showing someone has their eyes on Miss Tessa…

Daria and Chi Hu's people should have come to the camp yesterday; Mrs. Li told them to stay there to respond to Miss Tessa."

Mountain Eagle, hearing this, suddenly felt a chill and said, "What exactly have you done?"
