Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger Chapter 283 - 281: Gradually Clearing Up

Mountain Eagle combed through what Miura had said, shaking his head slightly. He picked up the radio and notified Big Mouth to check the storeroom at the stern on the fifth floor...

Then he looked at Miura, who was panting heavily, and said, "What does this Mr. Huang do? What kind of competition is there between him and your boss?

If it’s just to assassinate one person, why go to such great lengths?"

As Mountain Eagle observed Miura’s conflicted expression, he shook his head and said, "It’s the Asafiye Organization’s doing anyway. I think you have no need to hide anything for them."

Miura felt the water once again subrge his chin. He struggled to lift his head and said, "The Asian division of the International Interdiary Company is going through a leadership transition, and Mr. Huang is a strong contender for the new president.

The leader of the Asafiye Organization wants to contend for this position as well, so they arranged for pirates to attack the cruise ship.

The assassins were hired by them too!"

Mountain Eagle knew Miura couldn’t possibly be telling the whole truth, and he didn’t have the ti to interrogate this guy about every little detail...

Frowning and thinking for a bit, Mountain Eagle roughly pieced together what had happened and looked at Miura with a grave voice: "To kill one person, you have assassins and pirates, and even hijack a cruise ship?"

Miura, trembling, said, "Because Mr. Huang never travels by plane. He randomly buys cruise tickets to hop between nations in Southeast Asia.

There’s no chance on land, only on the cruise ship, and..."

While Miura was speaking, there ca a sudden, urgent knock at the door...

Eddie, who had been standing outside the bathroom door watching Mountain Eagle’s interrogation, walked over to the peephole, took a glance, frowned, and then opened the room door to face a short island country waiter and said, "What’s up?"

The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and anxiously said, "Room 501, the entire family of the VIP guests were killed in their room.

I’ve contacted the captain, and the captain asked to find Officer Yue Shan..."

Mountain Eagle, who was inside the bathroom, heard the commotion outside. He cut through the ties around Miura’s feet, pulled him up from the bathtub, and said, "Co with to take a look..."

Mountain Eagle then said to Feiyu and another ard guard keeping watch outside the door, "There are two assassins inside, you stay here and don’t go anywhere."

Following this, Mountain Eagle quickly made his way to room 501 led by the waiter...

Room 501 was a grand suite located directly below the cockpit, covering over 200 square ters, with a shared view of the sea ahead with the captain.

The waiter stood at the door, hands nervously twined together, not daring to look at the condition inside the room.

Taller than most, Mountain Eagle glanced inside the room to find several n in suits lying askew on the floor...

Looking down the hallway of the living room in front of him, the sight of two children’s bodies lying there made Mountain Eagle frown. Gripping Miura’s neck, he pushed him into the room.

Miura groaned as he entered, his face a mask of misery that made the young waiter step back uneasily.

Mountain Eagle pushed Miura into the living room, squatting down to touch the children’s necks. Then, looking at the woman slumped on the couch and the man lying in the center of the room, he took a deep breath, stood up with an expressionless face, and looked at Miura, whose body shook like a sieve...

"You even don’t spare children under three years old..."

Facing Mountain Eagle’s fiery anger, Miura’s legs gave way and he knelt down to the floor before collapsing limply.

As a furious Mountain Eagle was about to te out punishnt to Miura, he suddenly noticed how Miura’s eyes kept rolling, but his mouth seed uncontrollable, with saliva drooling from the corners...

Seeing Miura, who now seed only capable of chest heaving, unable to move at all, Mountain Eagle had a sudden realization and quickly looked towards the doorway...

Seeing the waiter who had led the way was slowly backing away, Mountain Eagle stood up and shouted to Eddie in the hallway: "Be careful..."

In the instant of Mountain Eagle’s shout, the waiter who had been looking down and retreating abruptly lifted his left hand, a blade at his fingertips slashing towards Eddie’s throat.

Eddie instinctively leaned back, his right hand reflexively drawing the revolver from his waistband, and in the mont he pulled the trigger, his left hand rapidly struck the hamr twice...

"Bang bang!"

Two bullets struck the assassin, one in the abdon, the other in the thigh...

The wounded assassin turned around to leap forward, his hands reaching for the railing and jumping down from the fifth floor.

Mountain Eagle snatched up the UMP45 and rushed to the railing to look down, only to see the assassin grabbing the fourth-floor railing and flipping inside.

Mountain Eagle didn’t have ti to shoot. As Eddie watched in astonishnt, Mountain Eagle climbed over the railing, let go decisively, and in mid-fall, caught the fourth-floor railing...

Watching the assassin rush into room 401 below, Mountain Eagle surged forward, kicked open the rebounding door, and was about to fire when he saw the assassin holding a female hostage, his whole body tucked behind her, pressing a knife to the woman’s neck while retreating backward and shouting...

"Don’t co any closer, or I’ll kill her..."

Mountain Eagle advanced slowly with his gun at the ready...

The hostage was an Asian-looking beauty, sowhat resembled a thick-lipped female celebrity nad Xin Zhi Lei.

She was wearing a gray power suit, in her thirties and well-maintained. Even at this tense mont surrounded by pirates, her face was touched with light makeup.

Although taken hostage, she managed to maintain so asure of calm as she retreated under the assassin’s control.

Noticing the blood trail under the retreating assassin’s feet, Mountain Eagle called out loudly, "Release the hostage, raise your hands and surrender, and I can find you a doctor."

The assassin seed to have no intention of wasting words with Mountain Eagle. Upon reaching the balcony, the hand clutching the woman’s neck forcefully thrust forward, and as his right hand was about to slash at the hostage’s neck, Mountain Eagle’s body suddenly tilted to the side, and he decisively pulled the trigger...

"Bang!"

The bullet from the UMP45 went through the assassin’s palm, grazing the woman’s neck and blasting off a large piece of the scalp on the assassin’s head...

Mountain Eagle’s shot didn’t penetrate the assassin’s skull, but grazed the cranium, plowing a bloody furrow through flesh and bone.

The savage assassin’s head felt like it was hamred. With a forceful push of his left hand, he propelled the woman forward while he himself staggered backward.

Mountain Eagle, in the midst of his forward charge, helped a female hostage up, and then after two quick steps, delivered a powerful and heavy front kick. The Assassin folded upon impact and crashed heavily into the glass railing, causing the inch-thick laminated tempered glass to emit a pained groan and show localised cracking.

"Uh..."

After taking two shots and then being dealt such a blow by Mountain Eagle, even an iron man couldn’t withstand it.

The Assassin sat down heavily on the ground, a large amount of fresh blood spurting from his mouth and nose due to the pressure in his abdon.

When Mountain Eagle, gun in hand, approached and kicked the knife out of his hand, the Assassin slowly raised his head, his mouth full of blood, revealing crimson teeth as he smiled at Mountain Eagle, then struggled to make a throat-slitting gesture...

"******"

Mountain Eagle didn’t understand what he said, and as he hesitated over whether to find a doctor to take a look at him first and then figure out how to question him, the female hostage ca to his side and said with a slightly husky and sexy voice: "He says his comrades will seek revenge on you..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the brave beauty, then stared into the Assassin’s eyes and asked, "Did you kill the people upstairs?"

Upon hearing this, a reminiscent look appeared in the Assassin’s eyes, and he looked at Mountain Eagle with a grin and a chilling gaze...

"********"

"He says he enjoyed that feeling very much..."

Mountain Eagle turned his head to look at the woman, who seed like an automatic translator, then lifted his large foot and stomped heavily on the Assassin’s face...

"Crack"

The Assassin’s skull, pressured between Mountain Eagle’s large foot and the heavy glass, deford slightly, and one eyeball bulged grotesquely out of its socket due to the pressure.

The body stiffened and flipped over on the ground. The Assassin, not entirely out of breath yet, looked at Mountain Eagle with an expression only seen in horror films on evil spirits...

"******"

"He says..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand to stop the woman’s translation and said, "I have no interest in a dead man’s last words..."

The woman didn’t seem to catch Mountain Eagle’s impatience and insistently said, "He says, where blood is shed is where the soul belongs, I will stand guard in the land of death, waiting for the new cycle..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a mont, frowned, and looked at the woman, asking, "And who are you?"

With a grave expression, the woman extended her hand to Mountain Eagle and said, "Hello, my na is Li Chengji, thank you for saving my life..."

Mountain Eagle shook hands with Huang Chengji, about to say sothing when his phone rang...

Seeing the call was from Mr. Poincaré, Mountain Eagle made a ’wait a mont’ gesture and stepped onto the balcony, looking at the dying Assassin as he answered the call...

"Mountain Eagle, we’ve checked the passenger list of the cruise ship; there are several suspicious persons, but the only one related to money is Huang Zhongxun from Room 501. According to CIA data, Huang Zhongxun is a finance broker active in the Southeast Asia region.

He travels frequently on cruise ships between countries in Southeast Asia, having contact with many underground industry tycoons and holding a lot of funds.

However, there’s one strange thing, so of the background information on Huang Zhongxun in the CIA’s files has been deleted."

Mountain Eagle squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Poincaré, do you think it’s possible that Huang Zhongxun is competing for the position of President of the International Interdiary Company in the Asian Region?"

Mr. Poincaré was taken aback and after so thought, said, "It’s very possible. The International Interdiary Company might appear as a broker platform, but in reality, they have accumulated a trendous amount of funds from the sedint of massive user fund transfers.

The International Interdiary Company is actually in the business of money.

Such a company needs soone who knows how to operate money to manage it!"

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "If the competitors for the presidency of the International Interdiary Company are killed off, who will be the ultimate beneficiary?

Pirate King Fayiz?

Does he have such a large industry that the International Interdiary Company would allow this guy to be president?"

As Mr. Poincaré fell silent, Li Chengji leaned on the balcony door and said with a slightly husky and sexy voice, "Pirate King Fayiz is not a competitor; the current leader of the Asafiye Organization, Kalanca, and the Malaysian underground money lender Danet are!"

The na Danet made Mountain Eagle frown...

Mountain Eagle hung up the call and looked at Li Chengji, asking sternly, "And who are you?"

Li Chengji smiled at Mountain Eagle and said, "Once again, my na is Li Chengji, I’m the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the International Interdiary Company, currently an observer in the presidential election.

My responsibility was to assess Huang Zhongxun’s capabilities, but that seems unnecessary now!"

Mountain Eagle narrowed his eyes at Li Chengji, who did not shy away from revealing her identity, and curiously said, "Are you a Peninsular?"

Li Chengji smiled and shook her head, "No, I’m from North Korea..."

Mountain Eagle pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "So all this is because of a presidential election?

Danet collaborated with Fayiz?

But why would the leader of the Asafiye Organization, a terrorist group, participate in the election?"

Li Chengji looked curiously at Mountain Eagle, who seed to know a lot, and smilingly said, "Specific qualifications and procedures for the presidential selection are confidential, I can’t disclose them.

But what I can tell you is that Fayiz wants to absorb the Asafiye Organization and unify the anti-governnt forces in the Philippines."

Mountain Eagle looked at Li Chengji and shook his head, "Attacking the British and Arican Intelligence Departnt, and framing the Asafiye Organization by attacking the cruise ship, using the forces of Southeast Asia and even the UK and US to strangle them...

It sounds plausible, but it’s not enough..."

With that, Mountain Eagle, looking at the always composed Li Chengji, said solemnly, "If Fayiz isn’t entering the competition, then with such great risks involved, what will he gain?

Let guess..."
