Mountain Eagle had tried this set of gear in games...
Two chip-sized in-ear controllers, a dog’s bulletproof vest that resembled a horse vest, with multi-functional cameras on the front sides, and two pouches on each side that could eject smoke bombs or shock bombs.
Such equipment could instantly turn a well-trained police dog into a rather powerful ground reconnaissance unit...
Allowing Mountain Eagle to gain a stronger sense of battlefield situation awareness in complex terrains like jungles and caves with numerous obstructions.
The only trouble was how to establish rapport with the police dog...
The controllers on the vest were tiny devices glued inside the dog’s ear canal that allowed the handler to send commands to the dog via radio.
Not just verbal commands, the microcurrents emitted by the tiny devices could form different stimulation patterns.
This would require continuous training to slowly build rapport, even if the dog was already well-trained. To apply this equipment in actual combat was not something that could be achieved in a day or two.
But Mountain Eagle didn’t mind...
With no sign of bionic robot dogs, he didn’t mind spending a little time on this, especially since he had a military dog Balang at home eating for free.
Training Balang’s two sons, Mountain Eagle felt he might not have the time and patience, but as a former dog owner, he was confident about building rapport with a well-trained military dog.
No man could refuse ’Left Qingcang, Right Qianhuang’!
Even though Balang was not yellow, and Crow was not Qingcang, it didn’t matter, as long as there were some practical effects, it was worth the effort to try.
The new gains put Mountain Eagle in a great mood and also stirred his desire to return to Thailand...
Compared to the ever-changing Moscow, Mountain Eagle actually preferred Kamui!
As Mountain Eagle’s mind spun rapidly, the car had unconsciously arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel’s entrance.
Mi Lu pushed Mountain Eagle, looked at his startled reaction, and said with a smile, "We’re here, let’s call Selena to come down and meet us, otherwise it might be a bit troublesome to bring the gear into the hotel."
Mountain Eagle subconsciously dialed the phone, and after receiving a positive response from Selena, he opened the car door, stepped out, and stretched vigorously.
Watching the hotel bellboys, startled by his attire, unsure whether to approach or retreat, Mountain Eagle cheerily waved to them and said, "Come help us, we’re from the Security Department Special Task Force, we just completed a mission and need to rest in the hotel.
Don’t worry, someone will get in touch with your superiors."
The Russian bellboy braved up; he didn’t know what the Security Department Special Task Force was, but seeing that Mountain Eagle and his companions meant no harm, he courageously approached.
Looking at the menacing figures of Butcher and his team in the backseat, the bellboy swallowed hard, pointed at the PKM machine gun lying on the rear seat floor, and said, "Sir, the hotel does not allow such heavy firepower..."
"It’s as if they allow light weapons either..."
Mi Lu got out of the car, told Butcher and the others to bring their stuff, and then stuffed the car keys into the bellboy’s hand, saying, "Help us park the car..."
The bellboy was not so much scared but rather unsure if he should serve these guests who looked like bandits...
Not until both Selena and Anna appeared together in the hotel lobby did the lobby manager put down the emergency call phone and came forward to give instructions to the several bellboys...
Two considerate bellboys pushed out a luggage cart for Mountain Eagle and his team to put their conspicuous weapons on and then covered them with a piece of red velvet cloth.
Then, without needing any directions, the bellboys pushed the cart towards the elevator.
"Sir, your luggage will be sent to room 1108 immediately, here is your key card..."
Mountain Eagle took the key card handed over by the lobby manager, smiled, and said, "Thank you, my team has experienced a very tough battle, and now we’d like to have something to eat...
I hear the Four Seasons Hotel’s restaurant is fabulous, please send up several set meals, ample in size and good in taste..."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at Selena walking over, and chuckled, "Russia Security Department will pick up the tab!"
The lobby manager looked back at Anna, received a confirmation, and then politely nodded to Mountain Eagle before stepping back and beginning to arrange via communicator.
Mountain Eagle gestured for Butcher and the others to go upstairs first, then opened his arms and hugged the two ladies one by one, seemingly oblivious to the dirtiness of his attire.
While hugging Anna, the fleeting displeasure in the eyes of a few guys behind her was caught by Mountain Eagle.
Mountain Eagle didn’t mind, he turned and hugged Selena, then wrapped his arm around this security agent, whose luck was debatable, and smiled, "Lady, I hear you’ve been promoted on the front line, how does it feel?"
Selena glanced at Anna with a somewhat stiff expression and whispered, "I don’t feel that great. The Assassin from the airport is in the hotel, but I can’t do anything to him."
Mountain Eagle looked at Anna’s complex expression, with his arm around Selena, walked towards the elevator, and chuckled, "You’re now a star in the Security Department, who would dare not show you respect if you want to arrest someone.
If all else fails, hire me. For ten thousand dollars, I’ll have someone beat the Assassin to death..."
Seeing Anna’s livid face, Selena felt a bit more cheerful and whispered into Mountain Eagle’s ear, pretending to be affectionate, "Anna is tough, I received orders to cooperate with her on some issues."
Mountain Eagle burst into laughter and said, "Didn’t I say it was a bit of a problem? Does the Russia Security Department want to catch the assassin at the Moscow Airport and consider it just ’a bit of a problem’?
Is there no law left?"
Mountain Eagle’s outright provocation visibly annoyed Anna. She coughed once and said sternly, "Have you had enough trouble?
Your operation has messed up everyone’s plans!
The Security Department is in complete disarray, and many of our intended targets can’t be reached, resulting in huge losses."
Mountain Eagle sneered, "What’s that got to do with me?
Did you inform me of your plans?"
As Mountain Eagle glanced at Anna and the bodyguards closely following behind her, he said, "Lady, if you just wanted to give me a dirty look, you’ve picked the wrong guy.
Take a look at your bodyguards behind you, tell them to hide the malice in their eyes. I have a bad temper, and I just got enough bargaining chips...
If I do something over the top, I believe everyone will tolerate me."
Anna, hearing this, turned and glared at the bodyguards. When the elevator doors opened, she motioned with her hand to stop those who wanted to follow in...
As the elevator began to ascend, Anna raised her head to look at Mountain Eagle’s profile and said, "My boss has arranged for some people, they want to have a chat with you."
Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, squinting his eyes to study the calm expression on Anna’s face, then shook his head, "I don’t chat with strangers. You can tell your boss that whatever he wants, I’ll only talk to you."
Observing a flicker of surprise in the eyes of Anna, Mountain Eagle spread his hands with a smile and said, "Does this make you a bit happier?
Lady, you are Blood Fox’s daughter, we should be on the same side...
Always treating your own father and mother as resources to be freely utilized is a merit in any boss’s eyes, but it equally diminishes the value of your parents.
Your boss might be powerful, but the person holding the bargaining chips right now isn’t him..."
Anna listened and looked down, avoiding Mountain Eagle’s gaze, and said softly, "You don’t understand, without Victor’s full support, my mother can’t control the situation.
It was you who disrupted my mother’s plan..."
Mountain Eagle had seen plenty of such emotional tactics to induce guilt...
Looking at Anna’s aggrieved expression, Mountain Eagle disdainfully said, "The act’s a bit overdone!
If you had shown a little more filial piety towards Blood Fox earlier, maybe I would have believed you then.
Your boss has sent a newcomer, he is clearly dissatisfied with you.
If you want to turn things around, I advise you to be honest with me."
As Mountain Eagle saw the elevator doors open, he walked out first, only to spot a familiar figure in the corridor...
Anna, following closely behind, saw Mountain Eagle reaching for his gun and she put her hand on Mountain Eagle’s arm, saying, "Matthias is here to protect Mr. Snowden..."
Mountain Eagle saw the Assassin Matthias a dozen meters away nodding in acknowledgment, then used a keycard to open a room diagonally across from 1108...
He turned his head and looked at Selena, who was very displeased, then said to Anna, "You know, you’re not a likable person at all.
Someone who can’t unite with their allies will never be able to smoothly handle matters."
Anna, repeatedly chastised by Mountain Eagle, said with some displeasure, "Do you think I made him come?"
Mountain Eagle replied, a bit annoyed, "Let me guess, Blood Fox and Snowden are here, right?
Your boss put such a top-level assassin here, what’s the difference between that and holding a gun to Snowden’s head?
What exactly does he want?"
Anna looked into Mountain Eagle’s eyes and said seriously, "Last year my boss lost a substantial amount of money in Cyprus...
The bankruptcy of Cyprus National Bank led to a deposit-for-shares scheme for the restructuring of the National Bank.
My boss was prepared to swallow the loss, but then someone from the United States interfered, causing changes within the Cyprus National Bank.
Now the matter is stuck, my boss and some of his friends have had their Cyprus accounts temporarily restricted, halting many business deals...
My boss wants to use the Snowden issue, to negotiate with some people from the United States.
But now you have seized the initiative..."
Mountain Eagle burst into laughter after hearing all this, exclaiming, "Well, isn’t that unfortunate..."
