Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Chapter 578: The Situation



Since Anna got to know Mountain Eagle, she has experienced a series of career upheavals...

Although she encountered a kidnapping by Black Fox midway, the changes in the people and things around her during her captivity allowed her to clearly make judgments about her surroundings and easily recognize her own interests and stance.

Finally, with Mountain Eagle's reminder, she decisively bypassed her original boss, Victor Vekselberg, and switched allegiance to the Kremlin, completing a three-stage career leap within two months, becoming a quite important overseas asset manager for Russia...

The Cyprus trust fund allowed Anna to gain control of the overseas funds of hundreds and thousands of major corrupt officials or capitalists from within Russia, who are still working inside Russia, instantly making Anna highly sought after.

Russia is a very peculiar place, where oligarch politics and oligarchic capital dominate the country; when the upper beam is crooked, you can't expect the lower beam to be straight.

The purchasing power of the Ruble is indeed terrible; besides energy, Russia doesn't have anything worth spending a lot of money on.

Meanwhile, the wealthy within Russia are exceedingly rich; whether considering asset allocation or the safety and preservation of funds, they will choose to take their money abroad to exchange for US Dollars or Euros, at the very least with these two currencies, they can purchase any asset they desire.

This situation is common not just in the United States and the EU but in all countries worldwide.

Mountain Eagle himself used to be in foreign trade; he knows many bosses will register companies overseas, thus forming many forms of overseas retention of money, which basically doesn't return to the country.

The intricacies involved are numerous, with mixed dark, white, and gray methods, making it very difficult to discern the benefits and harm within and virtually impossible to control.

However, East has a good aspect, which is that foreign exchange control grips the largest faucet tightly, ensuring the capital accumulation rate of the world's largest goods import-export country steadily maintains an upward momentum.

Other countries don't have such methods; when the domestic currency's corresponding assets cannot preserve and increase value, and accidentally encounter massive inflation cleansing, the capital that has just reached a certain scale has a hard time not fleeing.

In the minds of most wealthy individuals, capital has no borders; whatever attempt I make to preserve my wealth is reasonable.

This is the core reason why the Federal Reserve can dominate globally!

Now, Anna, through a Cyprus Trust Company, has gained control over the overseas asset pool formed by the wealth of hundreds and thousands of Russian officials and businessmen.

Those assets consist of real estate, properties, yachts, luxury cars, and other items; now with Cyprus's economy in total collapse, and those people wanting to sell off those assets to escape, they can only achieve it through the trust company controlled by Anna.

To say Anna grasped their life and death is a bit exaggerated, but saying she has a hold on their balls isn't exaggerated at all.

As long as Anna wants, she can easily make some people miserable.

Moreover, Anna was able to smoothly enter Boss Pu's view for a very crucial reason...

That is, after the trust company was established, this originally capital flight asset section strangely formed cohesion overseas, which could respond to some policies and businesses of Russia.

This made Anna's status soar, allowing her to walk freely in the United States with a 'guilty body.'

It must be known that Anna once was exchanged back as a spy, yet now she not only returned but also became a distinguished guest of several major capitals.

With her charismatic and stunning presence, Anna waved to stop the following security personnel and then gave Mountain Eagle a strong hug...

Looking at Mountain Eagle, who had grown noticeably taller and stronger, Anna excitedly hugged his neck and kissed him.

Mountain Eagle raised his chin to avoid Anna's enthusiasm, saying: "Beauty, usually when you're this enthusiastic with me, there tend to be some troublesome matters.

Why don't you clarify first, then I'll see if I can handle it?"

Anna felt the strange glances from her team members behind her and rolled her eyes big while saying: "My people will stay at Hilton Hotel in Long Beach; they will join the Intelligence Bureau's negotiation team to complete the final phase of the wrap-up work.

Where do you plan to arrange for me to stay?

I heard you have a mansion at Santa Monica Beach; I want to go there to get some sun."

Mountain Eagle laughed after hearing it, saying, "Do you know how many people want me dead?

If we live together, and someone can't resist the temptation to come bomb the building, the Los Angeles Police would go crazy!"

As he said this, Mountain Eagle glanced at Anna's team...

A twelve-person security group, and nearly a 20-person office team, with both men and women and varied ages looking at him with different expressions.

He knew Anna certainly couldn't have the ability to assemble a high-level team in a short time, so it could only be her mother and the big shot in the Kremlin who gave her the support.

No wonder she lacks a sense of security; apart from the people arranged by her mother, she probably can't fully trust the remaining team.

Looking at Anna's pitiful appearance, Mountain Eagle said jokingly: "Why, you're now the ruler of a trust company handling assets worth billions, is it difficult for you to rent a mansion in Beverly Hills?"

Anna helplessly spread her hands and said: "I originally did rent a villa, but before coming, a prince from Shah bid over the price and bought the house I rented.

I really have nowhere to go now, unless you can bear to let me stay at a hotel in Long Beach.

I really don't want to hear those people negotiate and argue; all my patience was exhausted in New York.

Rest assured, the negotiation is nearly over; the part about Snowden already has a result, so no one will continue to trouble you."

As she spoke, Anna grabbed Mountain Eagle's arm, walking outside while curiously saying, "You are incredibly popular now, you know?

I heard you made a lot of money in Singapore, and the day before yesterday, you won two hundred million dollars from Charlie Vine?

Several executives from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs were on the same flight with me, and they've been inquiring about you all the way."

Mountain Eagle listened and said somewhat headache-inducing, "Why does it seem like the whole world knows I won money? Do I have any privacy left?"

Anna glanced at the Maybach parked not far away, and at Anna, who was smiling and waiting there, she scoffed and said, "You still want privacy?

Do you know who Charlie Vine is?

He's a gambling tycoon in Las Vegas, an investor in several famous Wall Street funds, and a major sponsor of the Republican Party.

You won two hundred million dollars from his hands..."

Saying this, Anna walked up to Daria, glanced up and down at this girl who seemed almost a different person than before, and with a smile, said, "Did you sleep with Mountain Eagle?"

Daria pursed her lips and chuckled, saying, "I don't mind, but quite the opposite!

I think my boss appreciates my intellect rather than my bust, and I'm very happy!"

Anna looked at Daria, whose chin was slightly raised, exuding the aura of a woman with strength and determination, nodding slightly and said, "That's good too, with me, you might never have the chance to truly showcase your abilities."

Daria recognized Anna's reminding of their past subordinate relationship, smiled slightly, and with a bit of a sarcastic tone, said, "When taking off clothes could solve most problems, other capabilities indeed aren't that important."

Mountain Eagle noticed Anna's face getting darker and the "sparks" between the two, knowing it was Daria expressing her stance, indicating she no longer had ties with Anna...

But seeing Anna's eyes filled with fire, Mountain Eagle sighed, sidestepped the two sparking women, walked to the side of the car, held the car door making an inviting gesture, and said, "Why don't we get in the car first?"

Anna squinted at Daria, then turned to a middle-aged security guard with a serious expression, said a few words, and proceeded towards the Maybach…

After getting in the car, Anna forcefully pulled Mountain Eagle onto the car, then watched Daria naturally sit in the front passenger seat, she said to Mountain Eagle, "Daria and Yuliy are my people, you owe me!"

Women are indeed difficult to please at times like this, Mountain Eagle helplessly signaled the driver Sealion to drive, and then looked at Anna and said, "They are working for me now, I admire their work capabilities...

Of course, if you say I owe you, I'm willing to admit it!

If I buy you a bag, would it improve your mood?"

Upon hearing Mountain Eagle treating her like a naive sweetheart, along with the gentle laughter from Daria in the front, Anna disgruntledly punched Mountain Eagle's arm and said, "Where do you plan for me to stay?

No one would come to kill you now because of Snowden's issue, I don't mind sleeping beside you, after all, that's my forte."

Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "You might not mind but I do!

Let's talk about something practical…"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle watched Anna staring wistfully at him, he said helplessly, "Staring at me is useless, I've got a lot going on these days, no time to accompany you constantly.

However, I've arranged for Round Table Knights for security, combined with your bodyguards, safety is indeed guaranteed.

Of course, since you mentioned negotiations are nearly over, Snowden is no longer an issue, then staying at my place is certainly no problem.

Tell me, what exactly is going on?

Your tone wasn't good when you called me earlier?"

Anna extended her finger and inspected her exquisite manicure, said in a relaxed tone, "I gathered a lot of things in New York, my former boss is very displeased with me.

There are also rumors within the Kremlin, some people are dissatisfied with such a young person grasping such a large-scale asset.

I need to stay in Los Angeles awaiting the end of negotiations, simultaneously waiting for Erin's information…"

Mountain Eagle is somewhat indifferent to Russia's plethora of political and oligarchic competition, while Zhen Huan, after all, is a group of delightful young women competing to climb on the Emperor's bed, Russia is a bunch of old cliques vying for favor and power…"

Seeing Anna looking fairly relaxed, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "It's better for you to be cautious...

The bunch in the Kremlin, who rose because of Boss Pu, are inherently shady, have no bottom line in their battling, and your former boss isn't a nice person either…"

Anna listened, her eyes staring directly at Mountain Eagle, and said, "So, I need your protection...

My mom has screened some reliable security personnel from Russia's Special Service, they will arrive in Los Angeles in three days.

Then they would protect me attending the final signing of negotiations, and I would return to Moscow with the contract.

As long as I secure confirmation of the final result from Boss Pu, I'm basically safe.

If worst comes to worst, I'll reside in Cyprus permanently, just not clash with those people…"
