Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Return to Thailand

Mountain Eagle returned to Thailand on an international flight from Moscow three days later...

Stepping off the plane in Bangkok, he saw Tessa there to pick him up the moment he walked out of the airport!

As he approached Tessa with his backpack ready to pull out a carefully selected gift to appease the policewoman, she placed her right hand on her pistol and gestured stop with her left...

"Yue Shan, you are currently suspected of involvement with a murder case. Put your hands up; you’re under arrest."

Blinking in disbelief, Mountain Eagle watched old acquaintances Suka and Jelate turning their heads away. He sighed, dropped his luggage, and raised his hands, saying, "Officer Tessa, I’ve been in Moscow lately. Who did I supposedly kill?"

Taking a step forward, Tessa produced a pair of pink handcuffs, glaring as she spoke, "Think carefully... I’m giving you a chance."

With his hands held high in resistance, Mountain Eagle swore he would not be cuffed by those novelty handcuffs...

Observing Tessa’s disgruntled expression, Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "I think I remember now. I killed someone at the Marriott Hotel. Officer, I’ll show you the scene.

But can we skip the handcuffs? They really cramp my style..."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, Daria, who had come to Bangkok with him, stood behind him and let out a series of laughs...

Tessa frowned as she evaluated Daria...

Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall with long legs, ample bosom, and shapely behind—the most important thing was that this girl was wearing hotpants, clearly with no bra underneath, a body-hugging T-shirt, and a light jacket for her vacuum-sealed top.

As Daria laughed, her technologically enhanced and prominently hardworking chest caused passersby to unconsciously slow down.

The jest disappeared from Tessa’s eyes, replaced by a gaze seemingly warm with temperature.

Seeing Tessa’s expression, Mountain Eagle knew trouble was brewing. He stepped forward, put his arm around the girl’s shoulder to turn her around, then lifted her by the waist so her feet left the ground...

"Stop messing around, let’s talk about it back home..."

Tessa kicked her legs in vain a few times before struggling back to the ground. She grabbed Mountain Eagle’s waist and glanced back at Daria...

"Hmm, fake chest, some work done on the corners of the eyes, probably enhanced the chin, too..."

Looking at Mountain Eagle, who was grimacing in pain, Tessa said, "Do you like this type? I’m quite fond of it...

How about we take her with us to the crime scene?

I’ve always been curious about breast augmentation. I’ve heard that the skin over an enhanced breast becomes thinner and particularly pale."

"If you let go of me, I might actually believe your gibberish."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle adjusted Tessa’s hand, biting down hard on the muscles of his waist, "Besides, I haven’t seen it before, how would I know?"

Tessa glanced at Daria, who maintained a distance of about ten meters behind them, then squinted at Mountain Eagle’s eyes for a few seconds...

Once she felt sure he wasn’t lying, a bright smile appeared on her face. She hugged Mountain Eagle tightly around the waist and said, "Actually, I don’t mind all that much. Three’s a thrill."

Mountain Eagle glanced sideways at Tessa, now assuming a bold demeanor, and chuckled, "Darling, think before you speak. What if I took you seriously?"

While speaking, Mountain Eagle looked at Suka and Jelate who had suddenly become selectively deaf and blind, embraced Tessa around the waist, and chuckled while they walked, "You’ve caught me, but if I’m to be interrogated, I’ve got to have a good meal first.

Oh, how’s my buddy and his family coming along?"

Not pleased, Tessa retorted, "They have been settled in at the Bangkok Heart Hospital. The little girl needs to be observed for about a week and undergo some examinations before they can decide on a surgical plan.

Rest assured, the Bangkok Heart Hospital is the best cardiology specialty hospital in Thailand, with the best cardiothoracic surgeons. Moreover, the director is a friend of my mother; she will arrange everything."

As she said this, Tessa stood by the door of a van. Once Mountain Eagle opened the door for her, she nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "My mother wanted to invite you to dinner, but I turned it down for you..."

Mountain Eagle paused before shaking his head with a wry smile, "Such a great opportunity. There must be a long line of people in Thailand wanting to meet your mother, but you turned it down for me. Then you owe me a good meal.

To tell you the truth, the food in Moscow is awful. Let’s go eat something I can stomach."

Tessa gazed into Mountain Eagle’s eyes, ensuring he wasn’t upset that she had turned down her mother’s invitation for him. She nodded happily and said, "Get in, I know a great restaurant. Taigore will come to meet us later."

Then Tessa glanced at Daria, still holding her small luggage to the side, and waved her over, "Get in..."

Daria, with no intention of causing trouble for Mountain Eagle, took a seat in the back of the van upon boarding and remained there as invisible as if she were deaf and blind.

Daria’s professionalism piqued Tessa’s curiosity...

After inquiring about Daria’s background, Tessa remained indifferent to her work but felt a great deal of sympathy for her experiences.

Orphans, selection, training, chosen...

Long influenced by movies, Tessa naturally integrated Daria’s childhood into some movie plots...

Then Tessa, full of compassion, forcefully told Daria that if she had any dissatisfaction with her current job, she could come to Thailand to find her – she could even offer Daria political asylum if her boss was a jerk.

Mountain Eagle watched Tessa with an air of a world boss and couldn’t help but chuckle. "You talk so big; did your dad get a promotion?"

Tessa shook her head, "No, my father declined an appointment as a Congressman in the Royal Senate, choosing to stay as the Deputy Director at Royal Police Headquarters.

But my uncle got promoted; he was transferred from Kamui Prefecture to the Ministry of Defense and is now the Deputy Minister.

My cousin Tai Meng will take over from the Royal Guard and come to Kamui Prefecture next month. He’ll replace my uncle as a Major General of the Marine Guard, in charge of the maritime security in Western Thailand Sea."

Mountain Eagle looked at Tessa’s proud demeanor and couldn’t help but whistle. "Then I really ought to get to know cousin Tai Meng; we’re sure to have lots of dealings in the future."

Seeing Mountain Eagle shift his attention to her cousin, Tessa pinched his chin discontentedly, turning his face to her...

"I, you haven’t asked about me yet..."

Mountain Eagle, facing Tessa’s smug look, shrugged helplessly and said, "Officer Tessa, what position are you holding now?"

Filled with pride, Tessa took out her ID and slapped it onto Mountain Eagle’s chest, "I’m now the Deputy Head of Criminal Crime Investigation at the Kamui Prefecture branch of the Crime Investigation Bureau...

Mountain, I know all about your little plans, so you better be careful – don’t fall into my hands."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Tessa’s new ID, before curiously asking, "Even you got a promotion, what about Taigore?"

Tessa spread her hands and said, "Taigore refused the promotion and stayed as the Deputy Head of the Crime Investigation Bureau.

However, his responsibilities have increased – he now also oversees the command of Team 191 Special Combat."

Mountain Eagle shook his head in disbelief...

The Pasok family had deep roots in the Thai Police Force, and it was their firm rule that the family members could only hold deputy positions. Still, with their unwavering loyalty and clear-headed actions, they secured themselves substantial gains.

Such loyal people, who refuse promotions and raises; the best move for the new Prime Minister would be to give them more responsibilities and power.

Tessa’s parents were unknown to Mountain Eagle, but Taigore holding dual authority over the Crime Investigation Bureau and the Special Operations means he’s a true power broker.

Because the Crime Investigation Bureau and Special Operations are actually two separate divisions within the Thai Police.

Generally, we can interpret these as ’investigative’ and ’enforcement’ departments.

Currently Taigore still holds a deputy position, but now he’s got both investigative and enforcement capabilities; no need to coordinate the responsibilities of both sides anymore, he’s the boss.

Moreover, this is just the initial reward; the Thai political landscape is in chaos, and the police force needs to exert itself to maintain social stability.

Once everything settles down, the Pasok family is sure to reap even more gains.

Looking at Tessa’s blissfully ignorant expression, she probably hadn’t considered these aspects...

Mountain Eagle gave the carefree Tessa a thumbs up and said with a smile, "We should have a drink to celebrate.

If I ever get in trouble, you’ve got to have my back!"

Tessa squinted her eyes and said with a giggle, "That’ll depend on how you perform."

As the two chatted and laughed, Daria in the backseat seemed calm, but inside, she was stunned.

Anna’s side hadn’t had the time to investigate Mountain Eagle’s background properly. Although Mountain Eagle never hid his identity as a member of the Thai Police, who could’ve imagined that he had such connections within the force?

The Pasok family might sound unimposing and not comparable to Russia’s oligarchs, but those in the know understand that in terms of absolute regional power, the Pasok family holds more sway.

Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Defense, Deputy Director at Royal Police Headquarters, Deputy Head of the Central Investigative Bureau, Deputy Head of the Crime Investigation Bureau...

This lineup in Russia would equate to a diminished version of Shao Yigu (Ministry of Defense) + Old Patrushev (Security Conference) + Bolnikov (Security Bureau) + Zorotov (Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Those Russian bigwigs still counterbalance each other, whereas in Thailand, it’s simply one family!

Previously, like Anna, Daria thought Mountain Eagle’s return to Thailand was hasty, but now she doesn’t think so.

Anyone who tries to cause trouble for Mountain Eagle in Thailand will find themselves in complications first and might even end up being eliminated as a problem.

Not until the car stopped did Daria, still messaging Anna, realize they had arrived—only when Suka walked to the door to remind her did she come to her senses...
