Mountain Eagle did not disclose his resolved intention to kill MI6 and CIA operatives, using external pressure to force the local smugglers in Kamui to submit.
Because this tactic itself was leveraging the power from a void, as long as the general direction was correct, there would still be opportunities later.
It was just that the UK and US had compromised too quickly and too decisively, indicating their true urgency. Martha and Hugo, even bearing the stigma of guilt, would definitely be thrown into work immediately.
Killing them at this moment would attract unnecessary attention!
Of course, the task still needed to be done, but it had to be pushed back to ensure that his plan wouldn't veer off the general direction.
Mountain Eagle had created a 'general direction' with a battle, but he lacked the strength to lead it.
To profit from leveraging the situation, one must go with the flow and adjust according to the changes in circumstances!
