NOVEL NEXT Chapter 591: Bank Robbery
A few minutes later...
"Bang"
After a gunshot, Mountain Eagle walked to the door carrying a high-end bag.
He glanced at the apartment across the corridor, smiled, and patted Sealion on the shoulder, saying, "Let's go..."
Sealion stood up decisively and walked ahead. After the two quickly entered the elevator hall, Sealion glanced curiously at Mountain Eagle and said, "Boss, is that it?"
Mountain Eagle reached into the bag, pulled out two rolls of US Dollar bills, and stuffed them into Sealion's hand, saying irritably, "I'm here to kill people. Do I need to exchange sweet nothings with that guy?"
As they spoke, the elevator door opened, revealing a family of three inside...
The man, upon seeing the bodyguard fainted on the elevator floor, immediately shielded the woman and a child in a corner, then looked at Mountain Eagle and Sealion with terrified eyes.
Mountain Eagle stepped into the elevator, looked at the little boy clutching his father's belt, gazing at him, smiled and winked, then nodded to the terrified couple, turning to face the elevator door in an attempt to let them relax a bit.
As the elevator door opened again, Mountain Eagle carried the bag and walked out with Sealion in stride...
Facing seven or eight security guards gathered in the lobby, unsure of what to do, he nodded to the old security guard who was at the door when he came in, and left the apartment under the watchful eyes of many security guards.
After Mountain Eagle left, the woman in the elevator let out a gasp as if exhausted, then slumped to the ground...
The little boy watched his father trying to help up his mother and curiously asked, "Dad, who was that person? Mom looked really scared!"
The father was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly smiled, supporting his wife with one hand, and holding his son with the other...
"I don't know who he is, I just feel scared!"
The little boy curiously watched his sweating father and said, "Why am I not scared at all!"
The father's footsteps paused briefly, smiling bitterly as he said, "Maybe because that person doesn't intend to harm you..."
The little boy, a bit confused, continued asking, "Then why are you scared?"
The father saw several security guards coming over to help and sighed, saying, "Because we know he has the ability to harm us...
Tigers in the zoo are not scary at all, but if we encounter a tiger in the wild, we will instinctively feel afraid.
Because without the protection of cages between us, tigers are always more lethal than us!"
...
"That guy is a beast, now you've opened the cage..."
Inside the conference room of the Long Beach Hilton Hotel, it was filled with intelligence personnel from the United States. The prematurely bald Mori stood in front of a camera, loudly complaining to several people on the other side of the screen: "You can't expect to anger a beast and then have him fight you through the bars...
Do you believe that if you don't agree to give him immunity, he will kill a lot of people within 5 hours and then bring Los Angeles police or even the army to that damned duel venue!
You can't say he violated any rules because the ones he brings are those pursuing him.
You lit a big fire; he's pouring gasoline into the flames. If you can't control the fire in time, he will escalate it to a level where no one can control it.
Gentlemen, listen to me, give him what he wants and let him get to that damned duel venue, no matter who wins or loses, let this cursed affair end.
Los Angeles is like a volcano now!
I don't understand why you have to provoke the most dangerous guy?
He only used Snowden as a bargaining chip, forcing representatives from two global superpowers to sit down together...
He's not some damned small fry, yet you've pushed him to the limit...
Do you realize the consequences of not meeting his demands?
Each of us sitting here has to check behind the door every night when we get home, because he could jump out anytime and tear us apart.
That guy slaughtered our special forces in Russia like it was as easy as killing chickens, and the CIA leader sent there is still undergoing psychological treatment today."
With that, Mori sighed while holding his head, looking at the people on the screen, saying, "Gentlemen, it's time for you to decide.
Either grant Mountain Eagle immunity and let him completely vent his anger...
Or refuse him, and wait for Snowden to go crazy, posting those secret files online, while watching Los Angeles burn completely."
On the screen, a white-haired elderly man wearing small glasses pondered for a moment and said, "Let the Ministry of Justice provide Mountain Eagle immunity. After it's over, no matter if he's still alive, this matter ends here."
The white-haired old man, through the camera, looked at Mori, speaking in a deep voice: "Mori, I know you're quite good friends with that guy...
You yourself said that he used one Snowden to leverage the relationships between two great nations, so you should have confidence in his ability to handle the current situation.
If Mountain Eagle wins, I'll stand up and applaud for him.
If he loses, we can still find a reason to arrest Vincent and pressure the Sinaloa Group.
These Mexicans have somewhat crossed the line with their control of the Fentanyl trade..."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, the video conference was terminated...
