Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 548 Huge Wealth
Pasadena, Los Angeles...

A mountain eagle sits on a bench in a veterinary clinic...

He didn't expect that the real business of a veterinary clinic in a remote location was actually illegal medical practice!
The owner of the veterinary clinic is Asian, and the two doctors and the nurse are all South American.

When Eddie rushed in with a cart full of wounded, the owner of the clinic showed no fear. He calmly cleared out a few operating tables, collected the money, and started operating on the wounded.

Looking at the several droopy pet dogs in the cages in the hall, and then at the slaughterhouse-like operating room behind a curtain, Shanying looked at the excited Eddie and Ham, frowned and said, "Why don't you just kill them?"

Eddie looked at Ham, then smiled and said, "I know a guy in there..."

Shanying frowned and said, "Don't tell me you are friends?"

Eddie grinned and said, "No, of course not. If you pay attention to the website of the International Intermediary Company, especially the reward section, you will know that these guys are extremely valuable."

After hearing this, Shanying glanced at the operating room not far away, where three doctors and six nurses were performing surgery on the wounded.

A young South American nurse was helping Roland suture the wounds on his shoulder and temple. After hearing what Eddie said, the nurse glanced at the two guys lying on the ground with their hands and feet tied.

Eddie winked at the nurse and said, "Dear, being too curious is not good for you..."

Just when the young nurse was about to retort in annoyance, the curtain of the operating room was pulled open, and an old Mediterranean Asian man wearing glasses poked his head out and shouted in Spanish: "What are you doing? Come in and help. There's a guy here whose intestines are broken, and his stomach is full of shit..."

The young nurse stuck out her tongue, sewed the last stitch on Roland's temple, and then trotted into the operating room.

Eddie looked at the puzzled Mountain Eagle and said with a smile, "Half a year ago, a wealthy Arab businessman in Bahrain was hijacked. The robbers not only took away many precious collections and 2 tons of gold from the businessman's home, but also killed his entire family before leaving.

The robbers were fierce and professional, but unfortunately they did not notice that there were hidden cameras installed in the rich businessman's home.

Do you know who was found to have done it in the end?"

Shanying stared at the two guys on the ground in disbelief and asked, "Did they do it?"

Eddie laughed and said: "The Bahraini authorities received a report and released the images recorded by the camera. It was these guys who did it.

The rich businessman’s youngest son was in Kuwait at the time, so he escaped!
He returned to inherit his family business, and while suing the U.S. military, he issued a reward of 5000 million U.S. dollars through an international intermediary company.

Or hand them over to their employer and get a $5000 million bounty.”

Shanying frowned and said, "Fuck, these guys are worth more than me!

How did they survive until now?"

Eddie glanced in the direction of the operating room and said with a smile, “Because they are only worth 5000 million when they are alive, and only 500 million when they are dead.

The employer has vowed to cut them into pieces himself, so they must be brought alive!"

Shanying shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. 5000 million is enough to make people take risks to assassinate the President of the United States. Why is a team of RRC worth 5000 million?
These people have a bounty of 5000 million, and they still dare to work for Titan Company?"

Eddie shrugged and said, "Maybe the Titan Group is willing to block the trouble for them?

It was not particularly difficult for the Titan Group to secretly house their families and take them in.

Those Middle Eastern guys are rich, but that's just rich!

Apart from offering a reward, they don’t have much else to do.”

Shanying listened, shook his head and said: "I just read the financial report of Titan Group yesterday. They are a listed company, and their net profit last year was less than 8000 million.

I don't believe that they would refuse 5000 million in net profit if it were in front of them.

If the Titan Group is really so upright, how could they fight me to the death for 2000 million?

Two squadrons, four military snipers, this amount of manpower is enough to fight a small-scale war in the Middle East!"

Eddie said indifferently: "If you want to know why, you can ask Mr. Kaufman...

I don’t care what Titan Group thinks, the 5000 million is here!
Arctic Fox only makes this much per year now, it would be a pity to miss out! "

Shanying didn't have any feelings towards the Rangers. The Titan Group was his enemy, and those who were involved with the Titan Group were also his enemies in his opinion...

He frowned and thought for a few seconds. Just as he was about to speak, Roland, with a bloody head, said, "They were betrayed just like me!"

Shanying frowned at Roland and said, "You are speaking for them. If I remember correctly, they were the ones who kidnapped you and took you to the hangar."

Roland glanced at Kaufman, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud. He shook his head and said, "I am willing to kill them myself, but they were betrayed...

They were just following orders and they did not deserve to be handed over to a Middle Eastern pervert to be tortured.

It's not them who should be chopped into pieces, but the people who gave them the orders!"

Roland looked at Kaufman on the ground and said in a deep voice, "For example, this guy..."

Shanying frowned at Roland, who was acting strangely, and said, "How can you be sure that they were betrayed?"

Roland smiled bitterly and said, "Look at them. If they really stole those valuable collections and gold, why would they work for the Titan Group?"

Roland looked at the bearded man lying on the ground and said in a deep voice, "The best way is to give them a quick death..." The bearded man was shot in the shoulder, but the lethality of a small gun like the MP7 was not enough, so his injury could still be healed...

After hearing what Roland said, the bearded man sat up with difficulty, said "thank you" to Roland, then turned to look at Shanying, who was obviously the boss, and said, "We were betrayed. At that time, we all thought we were on a mission. Our target was the rich businessman, and the job of wiping out the whole family was done by a few other people.

By the time we realize something is wrong, it’s already too late!
Don't trade us for bounty, give us a quick death.

I will give you a piece of information, so you may get those collections worth billions, and two tons of gold."

The bearded man glanced at Kaufman and said in a deep voice, "This guy thinks we don't know...

He has been in contact with the son of the wealthy businessman who offered a bounty on our lives!

When we were forced to have no choice by the bounty, this guy contacted us and gave us asylum and protected the safety of our family in exchange for us helping them do dirty work.”

Shanying frowned and said in confusion: "You knew this, and you were still willing to help him do dirty work?
He controls your family?"

The bearded man shook his head and said, “He helped our family change their identities and sent them to Europe.

I can die, but before I die, please let me watch him die."

Shanying thought he was a smart man, but he still didn't quite understand what the bearded man said...

Perhaps sensing Shanying's doubts, the bearded man coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice, "We have actually been investigating secretly...

The wealthy businessman who was shot dead by us in Bahrain was actually an informant and middleman for the CIA.

The CIA smuggled drugs into Thailand through the Golden Triangle, and then delivered them to wealthy businessmen in Bahrainis through special channels.

But something went wrong half a year ago. Someone stole $2000 million worth of drugs from the CIA through that wealthy businessman. Then, I don’t know what happened. The CIA marked that wealthy businessman as a target, and then we got our mission.”

The bearded man smiled bitterly and said, “Then our photos were published, and the son of the wealthy businessman offered a huge reward for us.

We had nowhere to escape and ended up joining the Titan Group...

This guy named Kaufman helped us when we were in the most difficult time, but he probably didn't expect that we would meet the son of that rich businessman in the UAE a few months ago.

We were planning on taking out that guy, so we followed him to a hotel, and we overheard him talking to this guy in the bathroom.

The rich businessman died to silence him, but his son still kept in touch with the CIA. He was an informant arranged by the CIA to infiltrate the terrorist organization.

He is using a high price to arrest us, just to show his position. This Kaufman is the contact between him and the CIA!"

After hearing this, Shanying fell silent...

Half a year ago, Bahrain, Thailand, lost drugs, crazy CIA...

These keywords sound particularly familiar to him!

Half a year ago, the human trafficker Wilt, who trafficked women to Bahrain through the Thai military base, helped the CIA transport drugs worth 2000 million to Bahrain through his own channels...

Then the drugs were robbed by a terrorist gangster, who threatened him and asked him to escort a high-value item.

And that high-value item is actually the 'plutonium' that has been digested by the Master Chief's system!
The CIA and MI6 went crazy at the time, and they haven't stopped looking for 'plutonium' until now.

But Shanying knew that they had set their sights on terrorists in Southeast Asia and deployed a poison pill plan against the Asafiev Organization in the Philippines.

If what the bearded man said was true, then he was indeed being treated as a victim...

The Bahraini tycoon was no longer useful to the CIA, and it was natural for him to be silenced. In order to investigate the whereabouts of plutonium and at the same time get rid of the terrorist boss who dared to touch the tiger's butt, they used the tycoon's son to set up a poison pill plan.

This blood feud of annihilating an entire family, coupled with the firm stance created by a $5000 million bounty, made it easy for the wealthy businessman's son with resources to establish a relationship with the terrorist boss.

There are some details that Shanying hasn't figured out yet, but when he looks at the bearded man again, he can't help but feel a little sympathy for them.

She was betrayed, her family was controlled, and she knew Kaufman had problems, but she had to work for him...

The Titan Group or Kaufman took them in not because they were truly exceptionally capable, but because they needed to be kept alive to keep the eye-catching bounty hanging there, while also ensuring that no one took it away.

Looking at the bearded man who seemed to have been released, Shanying thought for a moment and said, "You are worth 50 million. If the information you said you would provide me just now makes me feel valuable, I can consider letting you go..."

The bearded man was a little more excited after hearing this, and pointed at Kaufman and said, "This guy is not only a shareholder of the Titan Group, he is also a member of the Kaufman family. He handles a lot of things that are not suitable for circulation for the CIA.

All the items looted from Bahrain were sent to Los Angeles.

This guy is the one who leads everything!"

Shanying heard this, frowned and said in a deep voice: "You want me to snatch these things from the CIA?"

The bearded man heard this and shook his head, saying, "It's not the CIA, it's this guy himself!
He and his family bought the cultural relics and gold at low prices, and then slowly sold them in the art market and auctions.

I know where those things are stored!"
