Estate in San Salvador!!!

Matthias sat on a deck chair with an impatient expression, the blue sea and the warm sunlight not enough to chase away the gloom on his face.

Mountain Eagle, wearing a pair of beach shorts, led Daria, who insisted on dressing like a secretary in the blazing hot weather, carrying an ice bucket full of beer and a bottle of sunscreen to the chair next to Matthias.

Mountain Eagle put down the ice bucket, squeezed a large glob of sunscreen, rubbed it on his front, then handed the sunscreen to Daria, smiling as he said, "Help me rub some on my back, this damn place has everything good except the sunlight is a bit too intense.

In a few days, my wife is coming here with the kids, and I need to leave a good impression on them."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle opened a beer dutifully and handed it to Matthias, smiling as he said, "Buddy, you seem a bit unhappy. What happened? Can you tell me and cheer me up a bit?"

Matthias looked coldly at Mountain Eagle's big boss demeanor and said irritatedly, "Since you're here, our cooperation should be over. When can I leave this cursed place?"

Mountain Eagle twisted his neck, observing the surroundings...

The whole estate was meticulously managed, every coconut tree, every bush seemed to be in the perfect spot, even the grass seemed to have a precisely calculated height, just enough to submerge your feet and provide the best feeling.

On the vast seafront lawn of the estate, you could find a comfortable deck chair in the shade of a coconut tree at any time of day.

Due to some special needs, this estate had only five permanent workers, all elderly Germans.

Including Matthias, there were six people in total. To manage an estate spanning several hectares to this level required tremendous energy and effort.

Even though Matthias said he wanted to leave, his butt was glued to the deck chair...

Mountain Eagle, smiling warmly, raised his beer and looked at Matthias, saying, "Just say what you need, I usually don't refuse a friend's request for help!"

Subconsciously, Matthias raised his beer and clinked it with Mountain Eagle's. He pondered for a bit, then said, "I bought this estate..."

"But it was my money that bought it..."

Feeling that Matthias seemed to want to drive him away, Mountain Eagle said, slightly annoyed, "Dude, I never shortchanged you on commission, and my money bought this estate.

Your current expression is like a terrifying housewife fighting her husband for assets in a divorce. Do I owe you something?"

After a moment of silence, Matthias said irritably, "I thought this place would become a secret base, but now it's turning into a gathering spot for United States agents.

This makes some people feel uneasy, and it affects some of my affairs..."

Saying this, Matthias looked at Mountain Eagle with a face full of impatience, "To help you deal with this damn place, El Salvador, I spent too much time, leading to a standstill in many of my domestic affairs.

Now some of my friends are in trouble, and they need a safe place to stay...

Every day now has CIA and Department of Homeland Security people hanging around..."

Mountain Eagle, curious, asked, "What kind of friends of yours are in trouble?

Let me tell you, because I personally captured the 'Death Angel', I have some pull with the United States high-ups. If the trouble your friends are facing is related to the United States, I might be able to mediate a bit.

Of course, that's not free, after all, you charge me for working too!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Matthias was always the gentlemanly type, but facing Mountain Eagle, he couldn't suppress his anger...

From the start, Matthias felt led by the nose, and when he wanted to turn back, he realized he'd traveled a long way down a divergent path.

Looking at Mountain Eagle's always self-assured demeanor, Matthias remained silent, visibly annoyed, for a long time before downing his beer in one go, and said, in a somewhat downcast mood, "Some people I know instigated an unsuccessful coup in Germany. They're now facing persecution and need a safe place."

"Pffft... A coup? Germany?"

Mountain Eagle spit out his beer in disbelief, saying, "Someone actually staged a coup in Germany?

Are you part of some far-right group? What are you trying to change?

Is Germany's welfare system not good enough?"

"That's because you've never been to East Germany, nor truly understood Germany..."

Said Matthias, somewhat troubled, "My father was once a high-ranking officer in East Germany, and I started working for the Stasi right after graduating from university, but a few years later, the Berlin Wall came down and the Stasi collapsed."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands, looking at Matthias with a curious expression, saying, "I thought the fall of the Berlin Wall was a great political event, reuniting Germany as a whole. What's wrong with that?"

Matthias said impatiently: "East's per capita GDP reached 8800 US Dollars this year, does that mean there are no poor people there?

Merkel's Green Party is essentially the United States Democratic Party's asset. She took away most of the benefits with the German Capital Group but didn't ensure fairness and justice in redistribution. Damaging Germany's interests multiple times to meet the political needs of the United States—it's very normal for people inside to be dissatisfied, isn't it?

You don't need to worry about what exactly happened; in short, the coup failed, and some people need a place to settle."

Mountain Eagle looked at Matthias's impatient expression and suddenly realized something. He laughed and said, "You said you were once a 'Stasi,' so are those people needing asylum also Stasi agents?"

Matthias paused and said helplessly, "The Stasi have been gone for so many years; where are there any real Stasi agents?"

He pointed to an old man not far away, dressed in work clothes and trimming a flowerbed, and said, "His name is Hans, and he was once a Stasi intelligence analyst. He was a real Stasi agent.

Compared to him, those United States agents who have been coming and going here are just scouts!

As for those who need 'escape'...

They're just a bunch of fools being used as pawns. I promised my father I would look after them, but because of helping you, I didn't have time to pay attention to them, leading them to be used as pawns by far-right politicians.

They kidnapped some judges and key Green Party figures, and after those politicians agreed with the Green Party to green-light their participation in the elections, they immediately sold them out."

Mountain Eagle, listening, said with amazement: "Then they are indeed foolish. In a country like Germany, there's basically no foundation for a coup because you can't incite more than 50% of the public to follow you."

"It's not us, but them..."

Matthias said discontentedly, "I have no interest in changing the status quo; I even want to leave that damn organization."

Mountain Eagle saw that Matthias was indeed a bit unhappy. He lay back on the beach chair, looked at the distant sea, and said with a smile: "This world is so fascinating, with all kinds of people and anything can happen.

Matthias, there's no future in staging a coup in Germany. Tell me honestly, how capable are those who need to escape?

If their abilities are up to standard, then let them report to Daria...

Stasi was famous for 'surveillance' and 'repression.' El Salvador will have new elections soon, and I do need some relatively professional people to deal with our ally's political enemies and also to monitor those gangs, so they don't mess up my projects.

I'm telling you, my big business in El Salvador is very important. If those people are reliable, they should get a decent salary?"

Upon hearing this, Matthias said irritably, "What do you mean by 'decent salary'? 2000 Euros? 3000 Euros?"

Mountain Eagle gestured to the somewhat agitated Daria, signaling her not to get too close to the boss, and then looked at Matthias disdainfully and said, "What's wrong with two or three thousand Euros? Here you don't have to pay taxes, and the cost of living is much better than over in Germany.

They're just losers. If I were ruthless, I should let them work for me for free in exchange for my protection.

But for your sake, I'm willing to take them in!

I'm doing all this for you. Without me, you probably couldn't rid yourself of these not-too-bright failures for the rest of your life.

Think about it, if they come to you every time they encounter a problem, how many nails can you drive with a body of iron?"

Matthias seemed to think of something, shivered suddenly, and said, "You're right, it should end, I hate my situation..."

After speaking, Matthias looked at Daria with a proud face beside him, sighed, and said, "Be a little better to them, they just chose the wrong path, but their abilities are still decent.

Daria looked Matthias up and down with the eyes of someone assessing a 'failure' and suddenly laughed, "It's not that simple. The boss agrees to give them a chance, but whether they can pass my test is still an unknown.

If they want me to take them in, then before they prove their worth, I need the five old men and women in the manor to work for me for a period of time."

Speaking this, Daria looked at Matthias, who had an expression of utter discomfort, smiled and said, "Stop always looking at my boss; he just gives orders, and I'm the one carrying them out.

You came from a special agent agency, so you should understand that 'job hunting' is certainly a two-way choice, but when you're facing a dead end, you'll have to face the critical eye of a new boss."

Mountain Eagle saw Matthias looking at him, spread his hands, and said, "I think Daria is right...

If you think her conditions are too harsh, I have two camps in Alaska that still need some hard-working laborers..."

Matthias waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Then let's settle it this way, but you need to deal with those United States Intelligence Agency people, at least don't let them come here to 'work' every day like clockwork!

It took them so long to set up a 'Death Angel,' they're really not that great..."

Just as Matthias was speaking, Daria's phone suddenly rang. After she answered it, her expression suddenly became very colorful...
