Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 230 Clearing the clouds and revealing the sun
Shanying looked at Anna with a smile, and said in a Thai accent through his nasal cavity: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will take our time, and everything will be fine..."

Anna looked at the mountain eagle, who looked like he had already taken advantage of her. She took a deep breath, turned around, strode over to the blood fox and sat down...

Blood Fox looked at Anna's angry expression. He hesitated for a few seconds and sighed...

Although Anna cannot be considered a filial daughter, she still has to give face to the Blood Fox!
Seeing the old man's helpless expression but a smile in his eyes, Shanying pinched his nose, then waved his hand at the butcher and the others and said, "You guys continue to eat, but don't put your gun too far away...

Who knows if the negotiations go badly and those killers around us might attack us?"

Anna said with an unchanging expression: “Daria and Yulia are my bodyguards, and Mr. Matthias is a top expert that my mother hired for me.

We are allies, so our goals are the same!"

When Shanying put on his tactical glasses and activated Jinchan, he had already figured out the situation on the 11th floor...

Looking at Anna who looked serious, Shanying waved his hand and said, "Why did the allies place a group of fully armed soldiers in the room at the end?"

Shanying looked at Anna who opened her mouth to defend herself, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't doubt your intentions, I just think you are not honest enough and have reservations, so I have to be extra cautious.

After all, I am responsible for Mr. Sten's life and safety, don't you think?"

Anna didn't know how Shanying knew there was someone in the room dozens of meters away. She lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "That's not my person, nor is it my boss's person.

They are special agents that my mother Irene transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to protect Mr. Sten's safety."

Anna looked at S N Deng with admiration and said seriously: "We never thought of hurting Mr. S N Deng. On the contrary, we have always been considering Mr. S N Deng's safety.

We need to work together to build enough power to confront our opponents and get the best results.”

Anna was saying that Shanying and his men were too weak and might not get the desired results in the end, and they also had to worry about being taken advantage of.

Shanying smiled and said, "I know, but we don't ask for much. Ensuring Mr. Sden's safety now and in the future is our only goal. There is no reason for them not to agree."

Shanying is hinting that if you want to take advantage of Snowden and make your own conditions, you have to give me a price that I cannot refuse.

Anna was already somewhat used to Shanying's difficulty. She took out her phone, pulled out the photos, and then put them on the coffee table and looked through them in front of S Nden...

"This is a suspicious person we found through the hotel's surveillance system. The security department has already matched four killers. One of them has already checked into the hotel, and the remaining three are near the hotel.

Do you think you can solve the problem by grasping the needs of those big people?
No, Mr. Snowden is not safe!
You need our help..."

Shanying didn't even look at the photos. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me, how much money did your boss lose in Cyprus?"

Shanying looked at Anna's slightly stiff expression and said with a smile: "I heard about what happened in Cyprus...

In 2013, Cyprus proposed a bill to tax bank deposits in order to alleviate the financial problems caused by money laundering and solve fiscal problems.

That is, they want to impose taxes on the black money deposited in banks to repay the European Central Bank's aid to them.

But the proposal was defeated in Congress...

The European Central Bank then issued an ultimatum to Cyprus, threatening to stop emergency aid if they failed to meet the conditions for assistance.

Then the National Bank of Cyprus suffered a severe run and fell into bankruptcy reorganization.

The second largest bank in Cyprus was closed down, and the largest bank, Bank of Cyprus, announced that part of the accounts with deposits of more than 10 euros will enter into a debt-to-equity swap process.

Then some people with huge amounts of money suddenly became major shareholders of the National Bank of Cyprus, and your boss was the one with the largest shareholding.

In order to prevent capital flight, Cyprus implemented strict capital control measures, including limiting daily withdrawal amounts, prohibiting non-cash transactions, restricting fund transfers, etc.

Cyprus met a series of conditions from EU creditors before it received 100 billion euros in aid.

However, a huge amount of black money is trapped in Cyprus. Valuable assets continue to depreciate, bank funds cannot be transferred, and financial activities are in a semi-stagnant state. Cyprus is now a graveyard for black money.

How much money do you think your boss will lose in this situation?

Your boss is a real tycoon, holding dual citizenship of Russia and Switzerland, a close friend of Putin, who has no mercy on state-owned assets, but is involved in all kinds of corruption in Russia...

I guess he not only transferred his own assets through Cyprus, but also helped others to move their assets.

If the Cypriot government does not cooperate, those people will not be able to get their money out.

Those people are not as rich as your boss...

Some of them have been corrupt all their lives, and probably only have a few hundred thousand in savings. If they can't get it out, they will probably go crazy." Shanying picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip, then looked at Anna with her mouth wide open and said with a smile: "Before coming to Moscow, an old accountant gave me a general knowledge of what happened in Cyprus, and told me that a guy named Will Burns parachuted into the National Bank of Cyprus and became the vice chairman...

I carefully learned about it on the plane and found out that Burns is from the Federal Reserve.

Ha, at the critical stage of the game between Russia and NATO, the overseas assets of a senior official in Russia were seized by the Federal Reserve. "

Shanying looked at Anna, who was both surprised and terrified, and said with a smile: "I guess your boss must be very anxious now because he sees hope of solving the problem...

By taking advantage of Mr. Snowden's problem, we can leverage some of the political resources in the United States and allow some corrupt officials in Russia to unwind their funds in Cyprus, thereby alleviating internal political pressure.

Otherwise, he can only fill the hole himself or face the fatal reckoning from his old friend Boss Pu.

Boss Pu is not easy to talk to!
I think your boss was already prepared to fill the hole himself, and all your efforts in Moscow were to reduce his losses.

The Great Purge will kill people, and if people die, then the money won’t have to be paid, right?”

Shanying said it in a lighthearted way, but Anna, who had done a lot of psychological preparation, was pale and sweaty at this moment...

"how do you……"

Anna glanced at the confused people around her, not caring about anything else. She grabbed Shanying's arm and pulled him up, dragging him to the balcony...

After closing the balcony door tightly, Anna stared at Shanying and said in a deep voice, "How do you know these things?"

Shanying sat on the recliner, put his feet on the balcony railing, raised the bottle and took a sip of beer, sighed comfortably, and said: "I felt that the whole thing was wrong from the beginning...

Many things seem reasonable, but when put together, they don't make sense.

I always feel like something is missing...

The dispute between your mother Irene and the Baikal Foundation and Ms. Victoria's NGO contract, the combined importance of these two matters is not enough to start a purge...

Stenden is barely a bargaining chip, but before I discover this guy's greatest value, none of you will know the contents of those confidential documents...

Therefore, the Russian Security Department just wanted to take advantage of the situation at the beginning. Giving Snowden asylum for half a year was just to cause trouble for the United States and to make people in the European Union alienated from them.

Blood Fox is nothing more than a fool who offered himself up as a bargaining chip...

I have always felt that this matter is not smooth at all, because I can think of the demands of Irene, Victoria, and even Big Russia, but I can't understand why your boss has to intervene in everything...

I also watch the news, Crimea is an absolute hot spot right now!

But I guess Germany's attitude has softened, so the EU is expected to compromise, and the Minsk Agreement is just around the corner...

The biggest difficulty now is in your country!
I couldn't figure it out before, but now I do!

Your boss wants to use the dispute between Irene and the Baikal Foundation to complete a major purge within Greater Russia. While making friends with senior officials of the Security Council, he also wants to reduce his losses in Cyprus as much as possible and please Boss Putin at the same time.

This is a win-win choice, but if your boss wants to stabilize the situation, he will have to pay out of his own pocket to shut up the bastards in Cyprus who have the remaining funds trapped.

Otherwise, once the Americans intervene, those who are under the thumb of the Federal Reserve over the Cyprus issue will cause trouble, and the Minsk Agreement will be difficult to sign.

I guess the amount of money is horrible!"

Anna looked at Shanying with eyes that looked like she was looking at a ghost and said, "Are you guessing all this?"

Shanying spread his hands and said, "Is it hard to guess?
I am used to understanding the demands of my opponents and allies, because only by understanding these can I predict their behavior.

I always felt like something was missing before, and I thought Blood Fox was hiding something from me. But after hearing what you said when you left here a few hours ago, I suddenly understood!
Your boss is a big oligarch, but his roots are in Russia, so when Putin made it clear that he wanted to take back Crimea, your boss had to show enough sense of responsibility.

Otherwise, if the Crimea issue encounters any setbacks, based on the way the big Russian oligarchs usually do things, any small official from the tax bureau can be sent to jail for life!"

When Anna heard this, she looked at Shanying in surprise and said, "How do you know that the head of the Federal Tax Service, Mishustin, has targeted my boss?"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then he smiled dumbly and said, "Sure enough, nothing happens without a reason..."

Shanying looked at Anna and said with a smile: "Now I have Snowden in my hands, and I can use him to pry open a very powerful political force in the United States...

What conditions can your boss offer?
Don't tell me about guaranteed safety or anything like that. I need some tangible benefits and guarantees."

After hearing this, Anna took off a small headset from her ears and put it on Shanying herself. Then she put her hands on her waist, raised her thumbs, and said, "Our boss wants to talk to you in person..."
