Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The President’s Mindset

Mountain Eagle had no idea how Taigore came to the conclusion that he was preparing to set up a Security Company here...

The conjectures can be utterly deadly!

The profile Blood Fox created for him was highly deceptive, successfully misguiding the Thai authorities about his background and capabilities.

However, Mountain Eagle had no such ambitions. Facing Taigore’s invitation, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "Some things can’t be settled by me alone, the way it is now is not bad...

I am a Volunteer Police; if Kamui faces some trouble that it can’t handle, I’d be happy to help."

’Help’ is a non-binding word, clearly, Taigore needed a more direct commitment before he could make some targeted plans for the future.

But being able to rise to the deputy head of the Thailand Criminal Investigation Bureau in his thirties, Taigore certainly had the necessary shrewdness.

Mountain Eagle didn’t want to make any definitive statements, and Taigore didn’t push him, instead, he directed the police to clean up the incredibly messy scene, while saying to Mountain Eagle, "Leave the next steps to me, are you interested in participating in the interrogation?

I’m not familiar with the British and American Intelligence Departments, and I’m a bit worried I won’t be able to control the situation."

Mountain Eagle might be the only ’outsider’ who knew the inside story since he understood what these people were after.

Seeing Taigore looking both excited and somewhat unsure, Mountain Eagle smiled and suggested, "If I were you, I’d find a solid cell to lock them up and let them stew for a few days.

Because they are certainly more anxious than you, and time for them is life and career!"

Mountain Eagle, looking thoughtfully at Taigore, continued with a smile, "These people operating secretly without Thai knowledge and with ruthless tactics, surely means they aren’t clean and although I’m not sure exactly why...

However, the fact that they’ve gone to great lengths to blockade the Southern Thailand area facing the Andaman Sea indicates they are after someone with something very important.

Just drag out the time, and they’ll spill the beans on their own.

And when someone comes to bail them out, you can name your price!"

Taigore understood what Mountain Eagle meant: from his standpoint, he was there to resolve the malicious incident that occurred in Kamui...

The incident was essentially over now, and the subsequent commendation was practically guaranteed.

What the British and American intelligence agencies were up to, he could pretend not to know, because pressuring the other side to admit their spy identities was pointless; the UK and US wouldn’t acknowledge it.

But once they admitted their identities and what they did in Kamui, the scales of the subsequent game would completely tip towards the Thai side.

Then, anyone wanting to resolve the issue couldn’t bypass the Crime Investigation Bureau.

The British and American Intelligence Departments had made a significant error, and to make Thai authorities comply, a tremendous cost was unavoidable.

In the end, no matter what benefits the Thai Government got from it, the Pasok family wouldn’t miss out on their share.

As for the interception task the UK and US were focused on, if successful, half the glory would go to Taigore, if failed, it would all be due to their unauthorized operations.

Either way, it was just a matter of how much the Pasok family would win!

But clearly, Taigore wanted to win a bit more, which was the ambition befitting an heir of a grand family...

But Mountain Eagle clearly didn’t want to get involved in the remaining matters, because under the broad security framework, collaboration between Thailand and the UK and US was almost a certainty, and him, the troublemaker, getting involved, would only make it easy for him to be targeted.

Mountain Eagle was thinking ’in reverse’ - having done the necessary as a police officer, he could now bring out ’Mountain Eagle’, the Mercenary, to do some other jobs...

For example, through a Middleman, reaching out to those smugglers who had suffered huge losses to strike a deal, finding the right moment to put Martha and that Hugo in the oven, to let them experience the desperation of those they trafficked!

This is called killing two birds with one stone...

Wearing the uniform to fight them was to prove his stance to the people of Kamui, to show his resolve to take responsibility, and to establish credibility in the mainstream.

Taking off the uniform to strike them down is both to clear his mind and to earn a bit more money.

As long as the smugglers are willing to pay for the lives of the two spies, they’ll soon face tremendous pressure.

Because the smugglers don’t yet know the identities of these two spies, and they’re surely filled with rage right now.

Once Martha and Hugo are dead, those who paid for their lives will regret it too late...

By then, all Mountain Eagle needs to do is put on his uniform to leverage ’international pressure’ to suffocate the smugglers.

Mountain Eagle planned to establish his footing nobly in Kamui at the smallest cost.

He needed to not only convince the locals but also instill fear in the smugglers!

Only by doing so could he truly be deemed to have established his authority...

Blood Fox has his strengths that overshadow Mountain Eagle’s in some aspects, but when it comes to leveraging power strategically, Blood Fox is no match for Mountain Eagle, who has been steeped in the world of power dynamics for many years...

"What? You want to take out those two spies? And have the smugglers pay for it?"

On the lawn of the Old Gun Club, Blood Fox, who was barbecuing, handed his tongs to Martha beside him, reminding her to keep flipping the beef, then glanced at Tessa, who was dozing off on a sun lounger. After thinking for a bit, he asked, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Mountain Eagle took a sip of beer and said with a smile, "Of course, it’s about making oneself a little more at ease. Those who do evil should pay a price."

Speaking of which, Mountain Eagle looked at Blood Fox, whose expression was odd, and continued with a smile, "Of course, smugglers aren’t good people either...

But as long as they are willing to pay for the lives of those two spies, I can use ’international pressure’ to trap them...

As long as the pressure is large enough, these people will have to earnestly cooperate with us to preserve their business and their lives.

The Thai police force is too rotten, but I hope Kamui can become different!

Because I’m here..."

Blood Fox was in awe as he watched Mountain Eagle and exclaimed, "Just what kind of unit did you used to be a part of?

Tessa is the key to establishing your power, right?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head noncommittally and replied, "Without the badge of the Crime Investigation Bureau, the so-called ’international pressure’ would not hold...

To subdue those smugglers and make them obedient, it’s definitely not enough with just us few temporary police. We also need Tessa, with the Crime Investigation Bureau’s badge, to transmit the pressure from the international community to the smugglers.

Not all of the smugglers deserve death, certainly they are not good people. Get rid of the worst among them, control the rest, that would be most beneficial for Kamui and also more convenient for maximizing profits."

Mountain Eagle’s CEO mindset was completely out of sync with Blood Fox’s KGB thinking pattern...

But Blood Fox, sly with age, could still clearly sense Mountain Eagle’s formidable prowess!

Mountain Eagle was planning to dominate both the legal and illegal spheres, transforming Kamui into a stronghold!

The most outrageous part was that from Mountain Eagle’s perspective, the whole affair seemed to only involve fighting and killing, with no other costs.

He just had to tweak things at critical junctures, and the situation would likely evolve in the direction he wanted.

Now, the only problem was how to get the smugglers to offer a bounty through a middleman for retribution!

Martha and Hugo’s identities are definitely not known to the outside world, but the news about Kamui will be on Thai news by tomorrow or the day after at the latest...

The news of Marine Guard and Crime Investigation Bureau cracking a big case in Kamui will spread far and wide soon.

The smugglers have suffered huge losses recently, but to make them offer a bounty according to Mountain Eagle’s plan, someone knowledgeable needs to give them a push...

After pondering for a few minutes, Blood Fox nodded and said, "I’ll ask an old friend..."

Mountain Eagle replied after listening, "There is no need to do anything deliberate, just keep an eye on the underground bounty information.

If truly no one offers a bounty, I’ll do it myself. Killing those two bastard spies is also what I want, in the end, the blame will definitely fall on the smugglers."

Blood Fox shook his head and said, "The whole act must be carried out, I will think of a way...

To achieve your desired effect, not only do you need to bring the smugglers into the fold, you also need to drag those missing terrorists into it.

The people from the British and American Intelligence Department are not incompetent, their blockade around Kamui indicates that they have received definitive intelligence proving the links between those terrorists and the smugglers.

Only by involving the terrorists from the Abu Sayyaf Group, can you borrow sufficient prestige and pressure from the UK and US."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle exclaimed in surprise, "You can find the terrorists from the Abu Sayyaf Group?"

Blood Fox frowned and said, "Is it strange?

I might not find those hiding around Kamui, but you think I can’t find their headquarters in the Philippines?

Just let someone send a message to them, and it could be passed on to the terrorists hiding around Kamui through the Philippines...

They are well aware of the identities of those two spies, but they would definitely not inform the smugglers...

If I were them, I would try to urge the smugglers to seek revenge, so as to create chaos, alleviate pressure and distract attention, facilitating their escape from Kamui."

This was where Mountain Eagle fell short...

He possessed powerful strategic capabilities, but his understanding of the Underworld was superficial, and his clarity on how its people react to situations wasn’t as sharp, so he could only seek breakthroughs on a broad level.

But Blood Fox was different, the old fox was very familiar with the operation logic of the Underworld. With him involved, there was room for micromanagement.

Moreover, Blood Fox’s words reminded Mountain Eagle that letting those Abu Sayyaf terrorists go would be even more advantageous for him.

Firstly, those people had bigger targets, which could effectively divert the pressure from the UK and US...

Secondly, once those terrorists escape, Taigore holding Sabaya would become a far more valuable political card.

Mountain Eagle did not have a full plan yet, as the matter itself was not of much concern to him; he was just habitually pondering over it...

However, once the thought process was open, Mountain Eagle suddenly realized, maybe making money really wasn’t difficult...

Just like Blood Fox once told him...

The most scarce resource in this world isn’t the ’problem solver,’ but rather the ’creator of demand’!
