Anton couldn't rescue Satan, but he could make Satan's situation a bit better.
The strong demand for Baghdadi to be kept alive, backed by Azar's firm stance, was certainly useful because now Anton represented the CIA, and Azar the Shah Intelligence Bureau. The joint pressure from representatives of these two financial backers was something ISIS couldn't ignore.
No one is foolish. ISIS currently has strong momentum, but how could such a detested organization survive this long without backing?
Even if someone was eager to eliminate Baghdadi to take power themselves, they'd have to consider whether they'd be taken out right after assuming power if they offended the financiers.
Therefore, as long as Baghdadi is alive, Satan can use him as a human shield.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.
Viper called Anton and Azar over. They were about to initiate the rescue operation, and this time, Baghdadi or rather Viper personally was commanding the elite troops.
