Mountain Eagle detected from Blood Fox's tone that the old man was leaning towards compromise...
Of course...
Whether to help his ex-wife or his own daughter...
It's understandable to not ask for a payment from them, but skirting around the topic of Anna's boss, Victor, behind the scenes was a bit puzzling.
Business is business!
It is difficult to conclusively identify the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, but Victor and Erin, representing Russia's intelligence system, are definitely the big winners.
If you want me to do more, you must pay me more!
This payment doesn't have to be money, but it can't be nothing. Otherwise, Blood Fox will always be just a tool in the eyes of those people, and a tool that can be sacrificed at any time.
Even after the tool is sacrificed, there's no need to pay the final installment!
Blood Fox must understand this better than Mountain Eagle, but he was wrapped up in family bonds and hence seemed less flexible than Mountain Eagle.
