Chapter 839 - 783: The Harvest
"Seal goes to Mexico, the Madmen to Europe, I think this is quite good…"
Mountain Eagle stood on the deck of a freighter, hung up the satellite phone in his hand, and gripped the railing, watching the Yukon River gradually starting to freeze over…
Yesterday's heavy snow led to rapid cooling, the temperature plummeted from minus twenty-five degrees to over minus thirty degrees.
The surface of the Yukon River began to show stacked ice ridges, making navigating the river dangerous.
Mountain Eagle had no choice, having captured dozens of prisoners, he needed a ship to transport them back.
Fortunately, General Sid had prepared well, leaving a small boat at the dock for evacuation, barely enough to squeeze everyone into the cabin.
Chakdi, being a fisherman, volunteered to act as captain, steering the small boat, breaking thin ice, and maneuvering around large ice blocks, heading up the current towards Brown Bear Camp.
After passing the small town of Marshall, Mountain Eagle spotted a medium freighter frozen at the riverbank's shallow water area, roughly 8 kilometers from Brown Bear Camp…
The deck of the freighter was in complete disarray, but the bodies and conspicuous weapons had been cleaned up, leaving only some broken fragments and traces of blood.
Mountain Eagle had contacted Wayne, planning to tow the damaged freighters upstream and downstream into a Yukon River tributary next spring, finding a concealed spot to let them beach.
The battle only lasted a few days, but handling subsequent issues, avoiding the United States blacklist on Brown Bear Camp, expended a great deal of time and effort.
Mountain Eagle wasn't anxious about it; he just wanted to hurry back to camp, embrace his loved ones and children, and tell them it's all over.
Mountain Eagle wanted to rest, but the constantly vibrating satellite phone kept him from breaking free from work…
He couldn't refuse any call!
From afar in Asia, Li Chengji said first upon answering the phone: "Mountain Eagle, congratulations!"
Facing the congratulations from this Big Sister, Mountain Eagle leaned against the railing, breathed the cold air, and said with a smile: "Nothing much to celebrate, I just won a stage victory, there's still a long way to go to completely reach the goal.
Big Sister, I need some intelligence and manpower assistance…"
Li Chengji let out a hearty laugh and said happily: "Our business in Syria is progressing very smoothly, Arctic Fox and the Holy Grail Knight are performing excellently!
However, now a Qatari princess, with the help of that Hyena, sponsored a Kurdish tribe, so our influence is somewhat diminished, but business is still running…
You must thank Anna for me, without her, our operational funds would have struggled to flow smoothly.
Now, with the bank transit through Russia and Cyprus, our funding efficiency has greatly improved."
Li Chengji paused for a moment and said: "Since you have won and decided to proceed with reciprocal revenge, when will you leave Alaska?
I have some matters I need to discuss with you face to face…"
Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said: "I won't be leaving Alaska for now, I plan to stay here until June when winter ends.
Revenge is a long-term process, with the limited intelligence I currently have, I can only start with some simple targets.
During the course of revenge, I won't hide away…
No matter if they beg for mercy or fight, they can come at me!"
Li Chengji was silent for a moment, she understood what Mountain Eagle meant, he put himself out in the open, utilizing Alaska's unique climate and terrain conditions, maximizing his own value…
Until the opposing side finds a way to target him or reaches a compromise, he aims to 'harvest', harvesting lives, harvesting influence in the underworld.
Li Chengji understood Mountain Eagle's rise to fame, what made him famous was the 'Snowden Defense Battle', the bloody battle around Moscow, coupled with his flexible diplomatic skills, made him the most watched newcomer in the underground world.
However, this 'newcomer' title didn't earn him much convenience, rather it attracted covetousness and suppression, although he won several over-limit battles in Los Angeles, it pushed him into an extremely dangerous situation because some gigantic entities became his enemies…
Now he has won yet again under the attack from three gigantic entities, and the time for harvesting and transformation is next…
The longer this harvesting and revenge period lasts, the more thorough Mountain Eagle's transformation will become!
When Mountain Eagle proves his combat power and begins to put himself in an equal position with the opposition, it's a signal that he will unapologetically utilize his financial resources to strike.
Li Chengji knew better than most how much money Mountain Eagle has now…
This guy's Financial Office in Singapore is now operating with funds reaching tens of billions of US Dollars, and this number keeps growing.
Most importantly, the money in the Financial Office is clean money, that money's purchasing power is multiple times more than the black money circulating underground.
As long as Mountain Eagle is willing, he can quickly raise an 'army'!
Li Chengji thought for a while and agreed, saying: "A revenge action is not better the faster it is, the best way for you is to extend the time for revenge.
From the standpoint of the International Intermediary Company, I cannot provide intelligence assistance for your revenge because some of your opponents are my clients too…
However, I can privately introduce some people to Great White Shark Sophia, those people hold the intelligence you need, and some of them are manpower that would be useful to you…
It will save you some time!"
Li Chengji thought for a moment and said: "Mountain Eagle, actually the best personnel are Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knight Mercenary Group, their task in Syria is not finished, but the situation there is fairly stable, you can…"
Mountain Eagle decisively shook his head and said: "No, I am me, Arctic Fox is Arctic Fox…
"I've always had some issues that I haven't figured out, so I won't fully get involved with Arctic Fox!"
Mountain Eagle changed the subject, saying, "Big Sister, I'm working with Mori, trying to set up a prison in El Salvador.
That guy has sorted out the legal issues, but the selection of staff for prison construction and management hasn't made any progress.
I currently have a lot of prisoners in hand, and my people are still capturing more. I need a place to detain them and also broadcast their conditions.
Do you have any advice on this matter?"
Li Chengji paused for a moment and curiously said, "Prison? El Salvador?
Can such a business make money?"
Li Chengji smiled and said, "Well, I trust your judgment...
You're looking for a temporary transition prison, right? I happen to have something that meets your requirements..."
Mountain Eagle was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? Where is it?"
Li Chengji smiled and said, "Remember the Titan Group's sea prison?"
Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "It's always Titan Group..."
Li Chengji noticed the disdain in Mountain Eagle's tone and said with a smile, "I know you have grudges with Titan Group, but I must speak fairly: Titan Group is quite a powerful modern military contracting company.
The conflict is with some of the shareholders within Titan Group, not the company itself.
It's fine to hold a grudge against Titan, but there's no need to treat them as enemies entirely...
Know that Titan Group's advisory panel could set up a mahjong table of generals, with a bunch of observing lieutenant generals around.
They have deep relations with the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA, constantly doing their dirty work; most of the US Army's torture scandals are taken by them.
Titan is a large commercial military contracting company focused on profits; they don't care whether you see them as enemies or not, but if you're willing to ease the relations, they're definitely open to it..."
Mountain Eagle smacked his lips and said, "You mean you want me to spend money to buy their sea prison?
Big Sister, I personally took out a 'Kaufman' at an airport in Los Angeles; I know what's really going on.
But to make me yield to them is impossible!
I'm not being impulsive; instead, right now, I need to keep 'toughness' front and center..."
Li Chengji laughed after hearing this and said, "I understand your thoughts and goals, which is why I brought up Titan Group.
Their sea prison has run into big trouble; some extremely dangerous characters have escaped.
I have accurate information: one bomb expert appeared in Libya, and VX nerve gas and radiological residue were found at the scene.
This matter is now drawing close attention from British and French intelligence agencies...
Meanwhile, Titan Group is facing enormous pressure, primarily from the senator William Hurt.
At present, that ship is a huge burden for Titan Group, and they're looking to sell it off.
International Intermediary Company's business includes asset transfers; I could hint to Titan Group about your relationship with William Hurt, then you could get that sea prison for an ultra-low price or even for free based on your needs!"
Mountain Eagle knew what 'ultra-low price' and 'free' meant...
Ultra-low price meant taking advantage of Titan Group's urgency to offload the sea prison at a low price.
Free meant Mountain Eagle could ease the pressure on Titan Group by lobbying William Hurt, and the ship would be the lobbying fee.
Mountain Eagle chose to 'take advantage of the situation' almost immediately...
"Then let's get the ship at a low price; can you help me find a reliable crew and guards?"
Li Chengji nodded without hesitation and said, "Personnel is easy to find, but the manager needs to be decided by you.
Actually, International Intermediary Company also has detention business needs, and we could cooperate in this area in the future...
I guarantee that those detained are all bastards, who just offended the wrong people; your broadcasting idea actually fits some people's needs.
If you could develop some execution projects, I bet the business would be a storm..."
Mountain Eagle paused, then looked at the frozen river surface and sighed, "Big Sister, this kind of prison show destined for hell, perhaps we should let Mori, that money-grubbing bastard, host it.
Shall we talk about something else?"
Li Chengji laughed heartily and said, "Then let's change the topic; how is your wife getting along with Tessa now?
When they meet, do they slap each other?
Lately, I've been in touch with Anna frequently; she said she's planning to visit Alaska soon, to check on your love life, hahaha..."
Mountain Eagle thought of the recent news from the Little Lake camp, sighed, and said helplessly, "Let's change the topic again..."
