Lilith watched as the children nodded desperately, indicating they understood, and even a few of the more astute ones had begun to recite their 'statements'...

She looked at Tiffany in awe, whispering, "What's the purpose of this?"

Tiffany watched her boss pull out her ex-boyfriend to take the blame without a shred of guilt, rubbed her slightly itchy fingers awkwardly, bent down with the sternest expression, and said to the children in a deep voice, "Etch these words into your hearts, whether it's the police or anyone else asking, this is your answer.

Do you understand?

You surely don't want the FBI coming after you!"

Seeing a total of 13 boys nodding fiercely in pain, and a few who hadn't memorized their statements rushing to check with their peers, Tiffany nodded in satisfaction.

The same words, if spoken to adults, would never have the same effect.

But these children were different; they had been heavily brainwashed.

In their minds, the FBI were the evil ones, the barrier preventing them from pursuing a good life, filled with villains and baddies—that's the normal state of things to them.

Mountain Eagle was very pleased with Tiffany's cooperation. He gave Lilith, who still hadn't grasped the situation, a glare and deftly wiped the fingerprints off the rubber baton and shield before tossing them aside...

Watching Kate and Daniel, with his arm in a sling, burst through the safety doors with the police, Mountain Eagle vigorously rubbed his face and showed a look of panic...

"Oh my god!

Hurry, the people from Bright Ladder have seriously injured these kids...

I arrived a bit late, just in time to eliminate Bright Ladder's people, hurry and send them to the hospital!"

Both Daniel and Kate got the news from Daria...

Today's battles in several locations in Los Angeles had the police at their wits' end, with Kate being pushed forward by the federal higher-ups as the chosen cleaner.

Daniel, chomping on a toothpick, surveyed the kids who had been beaten up miserably...

He knew these kids were the Replacer's assassin reserves, and he had braced himself for an uncontrollable mess, but reality, fortunately, turned out to be not so bad...

Despite the ghastly scene, the outcome was still acceptable!

Hearing a black kid muttering 'Bright Ladder,' Daniel nudged Mountain Eagle, asking, "What the hell happened?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I was attacked by the assassin organization from Bright Ladder, then chased them here.

To my surprise, this assassin organization actually conflicted with Replacers, and brutally beat up these kids.

You know me; I couldn't just stand by and watch this happen..."

Mountain Eagle, with a cold glance at the boys, continued, "So, I had quite an intense conflict with Bright Ladder's assassins...

It was all to save them; they're just children!"

Daniel instinctively felt that Mountain Eagle was spouting nonsense, but seeing the kids crying and nodding, he mumbled, "These might be little bastards, but Bright Ladder is too cruel, I'll take them back for questioning.

They are all Replacer's assassin reserves; investigating their backgrounds is hugely beneficial for us dismantling the Replacer network."

Speaking, Daniel turned to glance at a middle-aged police officer with an eight-character mustache, and said with a smile, "This is the deputy chief of North Hollywood Division, who's been held up by the conflict on the highway for quite some time...

Luckily, we're not too late!"

Mountain Eagle caught on to Daniel's hint. He looked at the stone-faced middle-aged officer and then said with a smile, "No matter, the ending isn't too bad; these kids are safe!

They're all terrified now; they will definitely cooperate with you.

If any are disobedient, you can send them to the FBI's safe house at the US-Mexico Border..."

Seeing the kids tremble at the mention of the safe house, Mountain Eagle embraced Kate with a grin, saying, "You're in luck; this is one of Replacer's important training bases.

In order to disrupt this place and steal business, Bright Ladder teamed up with the Big Russian Gang.

There are plenty of civilians in the apartments; collecting their statements will help us piece together Replacer's operational patterns."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the middle-aged officer and deliberately lowered his voice, speaking quietly enough for those nearby to overhear, to Kate, "Keep a close eye on these boys; any person outside our circle of trust who wants to contact them is a suspect."

Kate, understanding, nodded and said, "I've already got federal authorization, establishing the 'Bangkok Group' specifically for investigating issues related to Replacers. From now on, all cases related to Replacers will be centralized and dealt with by the Bangkok Group.

The Replacers have developed a network of Black police in California; we'll root them out!"

Mountain Eagle's peripheral vision caught the middle-aged officer stepping back subconsciously; he squeezed Kate's shoulder, his tone a bit heavy as he said, "I have some bad news..."

Kate blinked, exhaling a sigh, "Go ahead, hope I can take it!"

Mountain Eagle rubbed his cheeks hard, his expression somber, "When Bright Ladder attacked me, I was a bit underprepared. Although I wasn't injured, the evidence related to Replacers that Daniel had seized from the warehouse was stolen."

Mountain Eagle, seeing Kate's expression drastically change, said helplessly, "My guys are tracking them down; we should hear something soon."

Kate looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes, and after a few seconds, she sighed, "According to FBI intelligence, Bright Ladder has long been dissatisfied with Replacers.

They took those pieces of evidence because they want to force Replacers to surrender to them or attempt to take over their Black police network.

We must stop them; otherwise, conflict between two assassin organizations will involve many people!"

Mountain Eagle, with a heavy expression, patted Kate's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I lost the stuff, I'll find it.

When the time comes, I'll give you a call, I might need HRT to join in for support."

Kate fell silent for a few seconds and nodded slightly, "No problem!

Those pieces of evidence are key to rooting out the Black police; we need to retrieve them at all costs."

Mountain Eagle finished what he wanted to say, feeling a bit weary, he stretched his waist and shoulders, and said, "Turn around the corner ahead, into the first room, Joseph Ravensworth from Bright Ladder and a dozen guys from the Big Russian Gang are all there.

I can hardly believe it, that Joseph Ravensworth turns out to also be a producer...

To be honest, I've underestimated Hollywood; perhaps those horror stories in the movies are not just made up by the screenwriters.

At this rate, if someone tells me the Chief of Los Angeles Police is the mysterious boss behind the Replacers, I wouldn't be surprised!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle patted Daniel's shoulder, crouched down and comforted these frightened boys with hushed and gentle words, then he got up and called over Tiffany and Lilith, whose expressions changed like a chameleon, bidding farewell to Kate, who was in charge of cleaning...

...

Tiffany was driving a Gurka on the road to Beverly Hills...

Mountain Eagle, sitting in the backseat, looked at Daria who kept hesitating to say something since he got in the car, and he frowned, "If there's something on your mind, just say it, the boss doesn't guess his assistant's thoughts."

Daria hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, it's about Evgeni and Alexander..."

Mountain Eagle frowned and responded, "Those two snipers? What happened to them?"

Daria took off the tactical computer on her wrist and handed it to Mountain Eagle, looking down, she said, "They've been captured by the Arctic Fox's people, Boss, I think..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and returned the smart tactical terminal to Daria, saying, "Those two guys provided me with important information, you've earned a merit.

Tell me first, how did you convince them to surrender?"

Daria put the tactical computer back on her wrist, delighted, and said, "I contacted Miss Anna, she's now pointed by Boss Pu as the asset manager of Russia's overseas assets.

Back then, Yuliy and I were auctioned off with Evgeni's group, Miss Anna knows their boss.

That guy took Locust Russia faction's money, sent out Evgeni and Alexander to assassinate you.

Miss Anna simply used the Kremlin channel to issue a warning to him, and he surrendered and betrayed Evgeni and the others."

After listening, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "Anna has made a name for herself, where is she now..."

Daria said with a light laugh, "Miss Anna is in New York, compared to the negotiations here in Los Angeles, the New York side may be a bit more complex.

The negotiation team led by Victor Vekselberg is in talks with Wall Street and the Federal Reserve.

It's said that they're close to a conclusion, once the agreement here in Los Angeles is reached, the problems faced by several sanctioned oligarchs in Cyprus will be solved.

Miss Anna's work is progressing very fast, so when I called her, she helped us solve the problem right away."

Having heard all this, Mountain Eagle relaxed and stretched his body, saying, "Finally, Snowden's problem is about to be resolved!

That Victor still owes me a fair amount of remuneration, I should remind him!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Daria, who still had more to say, and he spoke with a smile, "You want to plead for those two snipers?

It's rare to see you act like a normal person, so you make the decision.

They are just tools, and the assassination attempt failed. As long as they assure not to trouble me in the future, I have no problem letting them go."

Mountain Eagle's trust made Daria very happy, and she said cheerfully, "Boss, I want to recruit them.

Their boss has abandoned them, Thailand is short-handed right now, why not recruit them to help out..."

Mountain Eagle, curious, asked, "Thailand is short-handed? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Daria shrugged her shoulders with a smile, saying, "It's because Great White Shark Sophia didn't want to bother you with such a small matter...

She accepted a contract from Thailand and is trying to eliminate the pirates in the Andaman Sea territory.

Chakdi has gotten accustomed to the new ship's controls, but unfortunately, Killing Bee and the others aren't showing enough strength, hence they've been unable to completely eradicate the pirates.

Evgeni and Alexander are excellent snipers; they could provide significant help to Sophia."

After listening, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly...

The situation in Thailand isn't too complicated; taking care of a bunch of pirates isn't an impossible mission.

It's just that Tessa is throwing a tantrum, and Mountain Eagle doesn't want to barge into the line of fire himself, so he deliberately put off the matter there.

Great White Shark Sophia knew Mountain Eagle's situation; she was actually trying to harness the power there, to replace Mountain Eagle in exerting influence on Kamui, hence the pirate hunt kept being delayed.

Butcher and his crew had gone to Arizona, and Sophia lacked strong powerhouses unconnected locally to work for her.

Two potentially excellent snipers are just perfect!

Mountain Eagle has an entrepreneur's mindset, he doesn't care about loyalty outside the core; as long as they are willing to work diligently, that's all that matters.

He nodded to acknowledge Daria's decision, and just when Mountain Eagle was about to rest for a while, his phone rang...
