"Bang bang!"

The staff member on duty pushed open the door, his shoulders and hat brim covered in snow. After only a few steps, a trail of wet watermarks appeared on the ground.

"Sir, there's a black convoy outside!"

"They drove here through a blizzard, specifically requesting to see our manager."

Snowbird nodded and stood up from the chair.

"You go back to your post and notify the others to be on high alert."

"Clear."

Sing Sing held a paper cup and went to the window.

The glass was covered in frost, so he used his sleeve to wipe a small patch of it open and looked out.

Five black SUVs were parked in the snow, with the Silver Peak logo painted on their doors.

The car doors opened one after another, and a dozen men in dark winter coats trudged through the snow and approached the checkpoint.

Their movements were very synchronized, and their waists were bulging; you could tell from a distance that they were hiding weapons.

Sing Sing took a sip of coffee and smacked his lips. "This setup... it looks more like a funeral."

The Snowbird didn't reply and walked straight towards the door.

Sing Sing originally wanted to go out and join in the fun, but he stopped at the door.

He looked down at his suit.

Remembering the group's car full of guns, he decisively took a half step back.

The leader outside had neatly combed blond hair and wore thin-rimmed glasses.

He looks like a corporate executive who just got off a plane to discuss a merger and acquisition.

"Mark Mueller, Silver Peak Consortium's Transnational Asset Security Investigation Team."

He handed over the documents.

"The guy inside, Stephen Zhou, is China agent carrying dangerous experimental assets. We demand the handover of the target."

Snowbird took the document and flipped through it page by page.

Mueller looked at her and continued, "This person is suspected of sabotaging military facilities and illegally transferring multiple experimental subjects. The hairy thing in the car is also an anomalous biological asset awaiting recovery and verification. The blizzard blocking the roads is convenient for us to complete the handover here."

After settling Darwin and the Moon-Boy, Sasquatch came out of the room and walked behind Snowbird, looking down at the group of people.

Snowbird turned the last page, looked up at Mueller, and said, "What procedures you follow to arrest people within the United States are none of my business, nor is it any of Alpha Flight's business."

But this is Canada!

Mueller's smile faded slightly.

"This cooperation document was issued by the United States and has the legal effect of cross-border cooperation."

"Assisting in the investigation is assisting in the investigation, and arresting someone is arresting someone." Snowbird handed the document back.

"Arrests within Canada require local judicial authorization, and border checks are not yet complete."

"You do not have Canada judicial authorization, an arrest warrant, or the authority to take over the checkpoint."

"If you want to take someone away, first submit a formal application, then wait for a response from the lawyer and the judge."

Mueller stared at her. "Lady, you may not be aware of the situation. That man is extremely dangerous, and the person he took away was no ordinary person."

"Those are a batch of highly risky experimental assets. Continuing to allow them to operate will have consequences that your Alpha Flight may not be able to bear."

"When did your Silver Peak Consortium start taking charge of defining who is a person and who is an asset in Canada?"

Whether he is a dangerous individual and whether he needs to be investigated is a matter for Canada law enforcement to decide. As for those experimental subjects you mentioned, since they are human beings, they shouldn't be included in the documents! They certainly shouldn't be written as pieces of cargo awaiting disposal!

"If you want to investigate, then follow the procedures."

"If you want to arrest someone, go get authorization."

"Trying to bypass the checkpoint, stuff them into a car, and drive them away is absolutely not going to happen today."

A player behind Mueller took half a step forward and reached directly for his waist.

Sasquatch looked down at the man and growled, "If you don't understand the procedure, I can have a staff member print it out for you. You can't force someone into the car and take them away."

Mueller's gaze passed over Sasquatch and landed inside the checkpoint.

Through the glass, he saw Sing Sing holding a coffee cup and raising it towards him.

The chase across the snowfield failed, the people in the ice cave were not brought back, and now, having chased them to the Canada border, they have been stopped by the Alpha Flight.

Now that we've chased them all the way here, our target is right in front of us, but we're still being blocked at the door by the Alpha Flight.

Headquarters has little time left, and the Cryptographic Key is still in the hands of that China man.

He gritted his teeth and snatched the documents back.

"Withdraw!"

"Director?"

I said let's retreat!

The group of people slunk back into the black SUV.

The convoy struggled to turn around in the blizzard and quickly disappeared into the vast white snowfield.

Snowbird watched the convoy disappear, and Sing Sing slowly walked up behind her.

"They won't let this go."

She said it in a low voice.

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to just let it go like that either." Sing Sing also looked into the distance.

"The more anxious these people are, the more valuable my stuff is."

What made these capitalists chase him across Alaska and all the way to the Canada border, even going so far as to send armed personnel across the border to arrest him?

Just how many secrets of the Silver Peak Consortium are hidden here?

Unable to understand, Sing Sing walked directly to Sasquatch and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Sasquatch, your job as a doorman is truly professionally valuable!"

"If you came to our 749 Bureau's security department, I guarantee I'd get you the title of Best Guardian of the Year, plus a double salary at the end of the year!"

I'm not going to China.

"It's alright," Sing Sing waved his hand, his attitude relaxed. "We'll create a file in the talent pool first. Just because you don't go today doesn't mean you won't go next year!"

The Snowbird rubbed its temples, looking troubled.

The moment the Silver Peak team left, this guy turned around and started poaching players from the Alpha Flight.

She initially thought Sing Sing was just brave.

It now seems that this person wasn't just bold; he simply didn't know the meaning of peace and quiet.

The wind and snow lashed against the car windows as the convoy struggled to move across the vast white snowfield.

"Supervisor, are we... are we just going to leave like this?"

The squad leader in the passenger seat ripped off the mask around his neck.

"If he manages to sneak back to China, the board of directors will skin us alive and stuff us into the incinerator!"

"The reason we can't cross by land is because these stubborn border guards in Canada insist on bringing up some kind of local judicial authorization."

Mueller sneered, "Did the Alpha Flight think they could protect that China agent by just keeping an eye on the roads? If they can't get in by land, they'll get in by air."

"Notify A-3 Special Operations Group to activate two Nighthawk Low-Altitude Assault Helicopters, equip them with all-weather anti-radar camouflage, and conduct a pinpoint parachute drop, bypassing ground radar!"

"Supervisor, what if Alpha Flight intercepts us in the air..."

"As long as we act quickly enough to get rid of the baggage before they can react, and escape with the Cryptographic Keys, even if the Canada protest, they'll only end up facing a few frozen corpses."

Mueller lowered his head and lit a cigar. "Before dawn, take out that guy named Stephen Chow."

"Once you get the Cryptographic Key, it doesn't matter if you live or die!"
