Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Mountain Eagle earnestly fulfilled his promise, devoting all his time before heading to the United States to Xiao Wan...

For a full twenty days, their family followed the natives into the mountains, searching for cattle and sheep that were destined not to survive the winter.

They camped, hunted, fished, and barbecued...

At a young age, Yue Yi owned a .22 caliber hunting rifle engraved with his name and even hunted several partridges.

Xiao Wan had been a police officer for many years and had never fired a shot outside of police academy training.

However, when she realized the nature of Mountain Eagle's job, she began to pick up shooting again, not aiming to become a sharpshooter, but at least ensuring she could pick up a gun to protect herself in critical moments.

Miranda, Red Sparrow, and Hummingbird, three elites from the United States Special Service Bureau, initially had some complaints about Mountain Eagle's harsh and capricious tests, but as they interacted more with Xiao Wan, they found that Mrs. Li was very different from the big shots they had met before.

A woman, independent and strong yet not arrogant, with outstanding work capabilities yet not harsh, having to handle intricate tasks without losing her temper...

The most important thing was that a woman of not great height and somewhat delicate build could completely tame Mountain Eagle.

It was not through nagging or threatening, but rather a natural confidence and composure that emerged.

It's as if anyone talking to her could get positive feedback from her.

This provides the highest level of emotional value for a man, and it is unconditional.

Compared to appearance and physique, this type of confidence and composure that doesn't fade over time is what truly addicting for men, as it breeds the thought that 'she is reliable'.

Men are not made of iron; they have their moments of vulnerability and sometimes need someone to lean on when they are at their lowest.

Mountain Eagle, being a man from a tough background, couldn't escape from a woman like Xiao Wan.

Because even her temper tantrums and moods were about helping solve the children's issues and affirming her value as a wife, rather than throwing tantrums.

Almost without Mountain Eagle's deliberate introduction or guidance, Miranda and the women who had experienced harsh treatment by Mountain Eagle quickly switched to Xiao Wan's side.

Xiao Wan acted quite naturally, putting the children to bed each night and then unwaveringly asking Miranda to launch a small boat, taking her and Mountain Eagle to find a clean water source for Mountain Eagle to soak in ice water...

Thus, a very peculiar phenomenon occurred: the husband soaking in ice water, while the wife sat quietly fishing with a Fishing Pole, for three to four hours straight.

The two would chat and then fall asleep together, one in the water and one on the boat.

Then the next day, a revitalized Mountain Eagle would personally escort Xiao Wan back to the tent to let her sleep in a bit longer, while he took care of the extremely energetic children.

Miranda had been married too, but she had never seen a couple like this.

Rarely did they verbally express gratitude to each other, but their every action seemed to convey similar messages.

East University has a term called 'qin se he ming'!

Miranda didn't know this term, but she could clearly feel a flow of crystal-clear emotions like a gentle stream flowing between them.

Even though she knew her boss had another mistress in Thailand, a figure who should be detested...

But she still admitted, when the boss was with his wife, he was near perfect, or rather, should be seen as complete and vibrant!

Miranda and the others did not know about Mountain Eagle's previous predicaments; they fully experienced the process from his needing assistance to walk to his complete physical recovery.

Under the nourishment of love, a thoroughly healthy Mountain Eagle began to exude an immense vitality.

Originally standing at 185 cm, Mountain Eagle grew another three centimeters and looked robust, nothing like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

A physique like an inverted triangle, armor-like chest and abdominals, and strong sturdy legs...

That kind of hormonal rush that seemed to ignite on a touch, was utterly different from his previous state.

Indeed, from the moment Mountain Eagle fell into the Mekong River, he had been fighting with injuries even though he was protected by a flexible exoskeleton, his knee and ankle injuries resurfaced later on...

Mountain Eagle himself felt it was destiny's choice; as he reunited with his family, his spirit and physical condition returned to their peak state.

Even more so, Mountain Eagle distinctly felt that his physical fitness was continuing to climb with sustained exercise.

For most people, it's extremely difficult to improve further once their physical condition peaks, because humans have limits and breaking those limits comes at a cost...

This cost might be strenuous effort, possibly drug stimulation, or even risking life.

Mountain Eagle didn't realize he actually had all three; he just felt very fortunate...

At the same time, Mountain Eagle felt that the luckier he was, the harder he should work, because luck does not favor anyone in the long term.

Xiao Wan treated accompanying Mountain Eagle in his exercise as a necessary part of his rehabilitation, meticulously reminding him, accompanying him, and encouraging him...

But sometimes, when people are too familiar with each other, it's hard to notice the changes in their lover.

Until Xiao Wan had to take the children, lawyers, and volunteers on Mountain Eagle's charter flight under the urging of the elderly back home, did this separation truly end...

When they parted at Anchorage Airport, she realized how much her husband had changed.

Not just in appearance, but in his demeanor as well!

The commercial elite aura that Mountain Eagle once had was mostly gone, replaced by a sharp and oppressive presence like a drawn sword!

Xiao Wan stood below the plane's stairs, registering all children and volunteers with pen and paper, making sure not to miss a single infant, then she reached out and touched Mountain Eagle's slightly gaunt cheek...

"Be careful, and don't push yourself too hard."

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, smiling, and said, "Don't worry, in no more than two months, I'll bring you all to Alaska to spend the winter.

I'll leave the business here to you, but don't overwork yourself either; let Yuliy or the lawyer handle things.

You don't need to bring those infants everywhere, just find a daycare with a good environment, and let them grow up securely."

As Mountain Eagle glanced at the plane's window and saw Luna pressing her little face against the glass making a grimace at him, he hugged Xiao Wan and said: "Zack and the others lack a clear sense of right and wrong, and they can be dangerous as they've undergone some training. Taking care of them is surely tough..."

Xiao Wan put her hand over Mountain Eagle's mouth, shaking her head and said: "I know how to take care of children, stop worrying about others, and focus on yourself."

As Xiao Wan looked at the troubled expression on Mountain Eagle's face, she grinned and said, "Yesterday, a woman named Anna called me; she said she could help me contact orphanages in Moscow and Cyprus to expand our orphanage exchange network.

It sounds like a kind gesture, but I feel she was trying to show off a bit…"

Mountain Eagle, full of words of farewell, instantly deflated like a punctured ball, his body sinking as he hugged Xiao Wan and said helplessly, "I have nothing to do with Anna, she's just a Russian woman who can't control her ambition and pride.

Just ignore her!

I have enough money now, setting up small-scale orphanages doesn't need anyone else's help."

As Mountain Eagle gazed at Xiao Wan, whose eyes were filled with laughter, he sighed and said, "I've been utterly defeated by you in this life…"

Xiao Wan, in great spirits, playfully slapped Mountain Eagle's chest, laughing and saying, "Just be careful yourself, occasional acting is fine, but don't go overboard.

Don't think I don't know about the mess you cause while at work...

My mom once told me, a man might not come home, but his heart should be at home, bringing the money home!

A million each month, any month it isn't on time, I'll spank your son and then sell off your house and land in Thailand."

Mountain Eagle buried his face in Xiao Wan's neck and took a deep breath, saying, "It's all yours..."

Xiao Wan, feeling the dampness at her ear and neck, hugged Mountain Eagle's waist tightly, soothingly patting him, and whispered, "I want it all, but you are the most important.

Wipe your face, your men are watching..."

Mountain Eagle, eyes closed, wiped the tear at the corner of his eye against Xiao Wan's neck, then lifted his head, placed his hands on her shoulders, and turned her around...

After gently pushing her forward, Mountain Eagle waved to the children at the plane window and called out loudly, "Have a safe trip, be obedient when you get home…"

Mountain Eagle stood still, watching as Xiao Wan boarded and settled into her seat, and the stairs were removed by the staff. Then, under the airport ground crew's urging, he turned in another direction where a corporate jet was waiting for him...

Post Box and Pirate, who had also regained their health, exchanged glances and approached Daria, who had morphed into her secretary form, and whispered, "The boss seems different; what's up with him?"

Daria, raising an eyebrow at the noticeably plumper duo, disdainfully said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand..."

As Daria glanced at Tiffany walking beside Mountain Eagle, she whispered, "This trip to Los Angeles is expected to be very dangerous. If you two perform poorly and become a drag, you probably won't get another chance.

Buck up, or that muscle girl from HRT will seem more competent than you."

Post Box and Pirate looked at each other and grinned, saying, "Don't worry, we are in great form...

The boss is in rehabilitation, and so are we...

Back when we were enlisted, the force wouldn't give us this much time to recover; now, not only has the boss given us time, but also money, I feel even better than a year ago."

Daria nodded and said, "Good...

The boss's opponents and allies this time are tough, and there's a lot we can't help with, but we absolutely must not mess things up or embarrass him."

The stoutly built Post Box nodded, grinning, and said, "Don't worry, I understand, even if it means death, we've got to hold up the boss's reputation!"

Daria, hearing this and looking at Post Box who was stuck in mafia-style thinking, shook her head helplessly and said, "No, you don't fully understand...

But never mind, just do as you think!"
