Looking for another word

While working on a sentence, I needed a stronger word that “looking”:

Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group looking for revenge?

‘looking’ lacks urgency and power. Is this better?

Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group seeking revenge?

‘seeking’ is better, but still lame. How about,

Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group hungry for revenge?

Ah, ‘hungry’ carries a deeper desire and works better.
