Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Xiao Wan's gift wasn't expensive, but it was selected with great care...

Through Yuliy, she had come to deeply understand the happenings of Mountain Eagle's past few months.

She understood her husband better than anyone else, so she treated solving these children's problems as an important matter.

In a way, these children represented Mountain Eagle's honor, so Xiao Wan took extra care with them!

The eldest, Zack, received a jade Guanyin, the second sister, Angel, a pair of delicate silver bracelets, the third child, Luna, a red string with a ring, and the youngest, Eva, a jade Buddha...

Xiao Wan really put her heart into these children, not choosing to buy gifts, but instead cleaning all her and Yue Yi's accessories and placing them in exquisite boxes to give to the children.

The jade Guanyin was a gift from Yue Yi's grandmother when he turned one month old.

The silver bracelets were a gift from Mountain Eagle when he and Xiao Wan were dating.

The ring was simply Xiao Wan's wedding ring. By the time of their wedding, Mountain Eagle was already doing quite well financially, so the ring was expensive. But when Mountain Eagle 'regained' it, the ring itself became unimportant.

The final jade Buddha was a trinket Xiao Wan had worn close to her body since she was young...

A gift can reveal a lot about a person's intentions. Apart from Eva, who was still somewhat clueless, Zack, Angel, and even Luna were actually very sensitive...

They could feel Xiao Wan's goodwill, and they also sensed that she was a very gentle person...

Mountain Eagle was simply dumbfounded, purely enjoying the current atmosphere, without even knowing what Xiao Wan had said to the children...

Any topic related to him would only elicit a muscle-memory type of response from him, completely unsentimental, but almost everyone could feel that Mountain Eagle himself was happy.

Even the two dirty little bears and several puppies realized that this was the time to pester him and easily snatch anything he was holding.

At this time, Mountain Eagle didn't even need to respond. As long as he kept his wife and children in his eyes, everything else seemed to blur away.

Xiao Wan had experienced a similar state when she phoned the day before, so she knew very well why Mountain Eagle was acting abnormally.

But women are generally more meticulous than men. During the listening process, Xiao Wan did not, like Mountain Eagle, overlook the children...

She didn't favor Luna like Mountain Eagle did, so she liked the youngest girl, Eva, more.

Holding this doll-like little girl, watching her wrap her arms around her round belly, holding a half-eaten apple that she couldn't finish but also couldn't bear to throw away, Xiao Wan smiled and put her down, whispering a few words into her ear...

Then Eva, stuttering, walked over to Mountain Eagle with the half-eaten apple...

"Daddy, eat the apple..."

Mountain Eagle subconsciously took a bite of the apple, then like a wound-up talking machine, started pouring out endlessly like he had never-ending words to say...

This strange phenomenon piqued Luna's curiosity. The girl grabbed a handful of dog food and tentatively offered it to Mountain Eagle...

Watching him subconsciously pop a piece into his mouth as if eating sunflower seeds, driving the greedy puppies into a frenzy, Luna covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and called out to Xiao Wan, "Daddy's become silly..."

Xiao Wan, seeing Mountain Eagle reach for the second piece of dog food to pop into his mouth, walked over laughing and swapped it with a nut, soothing the puppies before smiling at Luna and saying, "He's not silly, he's just really happy!"

Luna didn't understand what Xiao Wan meant by 'really happy'. She tasted a piece of the dog food, then showed a smile to Xiao Wan, saying, "Hey, it's actually not bad..."

Xiao Wan had never encountered children like Luna back in China. She tried hugging Luna, looking at the girl with pure, large eyes gazing back at her, and said with a smile, "How about I take you to East to play? Xiao Yi grew up there. There's lots of tasty and fun things, and many other children around your age."

Luna couldn't grasp the implication in Xiao Wan's words yet, but as long as there was food and fun, she was very happy, vigorously nodding and saying, "I want to go!

Dad said that his hometown has a lot of delicious food..."

Luna leaned into Xiao Wan's ear and whispered, "But I don't want to drink fish soup anymore, drinking it every night makes me hungry in the middle of the night."

Xiao Wan was amused by the unabashed Luna, nodding seriously, "I'll write down your request. Later we can discuss the menu together and decide what to eat."

As Xiao Wan watched Mountain Eagle, who was incessantly talking but his eyes fixed on her, she joyfully laughed, uttering quietly into Luna's ear, "I cook better than him..."

Yue Yi, with a covered mouth, looked at his mother telling fibs and pulled Zack aside, piecing together a few broken English words, saying, "My mom seems off... her cooking's really bad!"

Zack seemed to understand what Yue Yi was saying, envying Luna a bit, he said, "Having a mom is better than none..."

Yue Yi, looking dumbly at Zack, just about to speak, was caught by the ear by Xiao Wan...

Xiao Wan looked at Yue Yi, who had become much more lively, and smiled happily, saying, "When we go back, I'll find a kindergarten for you. You and Luna can go play together every day, how about that?"

Yue Yi, holding his ear, looking at his mother who seemed like a completely different person, sniffed and ventured, "Mom, I'm almost fluent in a foreign language. Dad said if I make more friends, I can learn more languages...

So, can I not go to school in the future?"

Xiao Wan heard this and shook her head with gentle but firm determination, saying, "No!"

"I can find you a less demanding school, but not attending school at all is definitely not an option!"

Yue Yi, having heard this, hung his head dejectedly and said, "I think fishing here is quite nice..."

As Yue Yi spoke, Mountain Eagle, for some unknown reason, chimed in and said, "Right, learning to hunt and fish is also good...

Later, he can receive general education in the country and then come to Alaska to learn how to survive, to hunt, fish, log, build houses, drive cars, boats, planes...

And then go to Thailand to learn to surf, dive, sea fish, skydive..."

Xiao Wan's eyes lit up as she looked at her son, she coolly retorted, "Why don't we go to Thailand to learn how to pick up girls?"

"Of course..."

Mountain Eagle blurted out subconsciously, and then his survival instincts were triggered by Xiao Wan's icy gaze...

"However, our son doesn't need to learn how to pick up girls; he's so handsome. When he grows up, he just needs to learn how to distinguish which girls are the good ones."

Mountain Eagle then felt something was off about what he said, he swallowed his saliva and added, "There are too many bad girls in Thailand. You have to meet the bad ones to recognize the good ones."

After saying this, Mountain Eagle gradually sobered up and, looking at Xiao Wan's half-smiling face, sighed and said, "Let's change the topic. I think going to school is good too..."

Yue Yi, who was initially very excited, couldn't help but sigh softly and mumbled under his breath, "Bronchitis, so tiresome..."

Mountain Eagle didn't know where this silly boy picked up this act, he chuckled and flicked the boy, herding the kids away like sheep, and then hugged Xiao Wan tightly...

"Actually, whether he goes to school or not isn't really important. Xiao Yi isn't meant for a conventional path in life, and I suspect he isn't cut out for scientific research either...

Rather than sending him into the big sieve of education to be sorted, it's better to let him play and find his own interests.

It doesn't matter if our son doesn't have a degree in the future; as long as he learns enough skills. Even without a degree, he'll be able to support himself."

Xiao Wan saw that Mountain Eagle had calmed down and led him to sit by a lounge chair, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you still have a chance to return to a normal life?"

Mountain Eagle heard this and said with a bitter smile, "You were a police officer, what do you think?

I can't even remember how many lives I've taken; although they all deserved to die, I've built my new foundation on their bones.

I can't stop now!"

Xiao Wan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Dad always said you were naturally heroic. If you hadn't wasted so many years in the business world, you might have already landed yourself in jail.

I never believed it because you were always so gentle in front of me.

But now I believe it..."

Mountain Eagle put his arm around Xiao Wan's shoulders, helplessly saying, "Perhaps this is a case of character determining destiny..."

Then Mountain Eagle perked up, smiled, and said, "I'm not bad off as I am now. Do you know how much money I have?"

Xiao Wan nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Poincaré listed all your assets for me to see.

He also set aside 20 million US dollars to establish a family fund exclusively for me.

He said that in the future, you would deposit 1 million US dollars into the account every month, to maintain family expenses and the welfare system related to those kids."

Xiao Wan wasn't particularly excited about money; she looked at Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not important whether there is more or less money; what matters is, are you safe?"

Saying so, Xiao Wan lifted up Mountain Eagle's pants leg, revealing the surgical scars on his ankle and knee, and said with some distress, "In the past, making money just meant working overtime late into the night, but now you really are risking your life...

I'm really worried about you!"

Mountain Eagle, gazing at the distant Yukon River, said leisurely, "It's all the same really!

Give me a few years, just as soon as I think my 'savings' are enough, I will step back.

Honestly, I don't want to continue in this line of work, so I've been constantly adjusting."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle put his arm around Xiao Wan's shoulders and earnestly said, "I'm going to Los Angeles next month...

I have some very important things to do there!

After I complete this task, I'll bring you and the kids to Alaska, where we can all experience winter together.

Just our family, we'll huddle up in a cabin, doing nothing, not thinking about anything..."

Xiao Wan nodded slightly and said, "I'll follow your lead..."

As she said this, Xiao Wan stood up, curiously gazing towards the distant Yukon River and said, "I've never had fresh salmon; while the sun hasn't completely set, come go fishing with me."

Mountain Eagle stood up, slightly stretched his arms, and nodded, "No problem, the rest of my time is all yours..."
