Chapter 298: Chapter 295: Harvest and Commission

Mountain Eagle entered the café under Tessa’s guidance and met with Deveka and the governor of Kamui Prefecture who had hurried over.

Amelia from AXA Insurance was also here, and it seemed like she was enjoying a pleasant chat with them.

Deveka was very enthusiastic towards Mountain Eagle; the Thai Police Team had been continually victorious recently, and some of Mountain Eagle’s tactics provided the new Thai government with quite a few bargaining chips when facing external accusations.

The strength and influence of the Pasok family were growing rapidly.

Mountain Eagle’s plan to pull in Pirate King Fays to financially sponsor the development of Kamui sounded a bit whimsical, but once the people from AXA Insurance took real action and wired a large sum of money to Thai Bank, everything began to develop as Mountain Eagle had anticipated.

With the Pasok family as guarantor, the provincial government of Kamui Prefecture got involved...

They promised that no matter how much money there was, it would be under Mountain Eagle’s control for a while, and after everything settled down, the remaining funds would be injected into a newly registered mutual fund, then jointly managed by multiple parties.

As for how it would be used, it would depend on the negotiations between Kamui and the Police Team...

As the actual controller of the fund, Mountain Eagle could oversee the flow of that money.

This was equivalent to the Pasok family providing a guarantee and handing over a money bag worth tens of millions to Mountain Eagle to manage; whether it was Kamui or the Police Team wanting to use it, they needed his permission.

What is power?

The core of power lies in whether you control resources that can create differentiation!

This money was not fundamentally Mountain Eagle’s, but by controlling it, he was in effect wielding power.

The annual GDP of Kamui Prefecture is just shy of 240 million US Dollars, so tens of millions in funds are enough to solve many of their problems.

As long as Mountain Eagle ensures the money is spent solidly in significant areas, even if there are some losses, he will ultimately be the beneficiary.

Spending this amount over two to three years, Mountain Eagle was confident he could make Kamui his complete comfort zone.

To become the manager of the fund, Amelia, representing AXA Insurance, was the most crucial third party.

Mountain Eagle was very grateful to Big Sister Amelia, but he had just received some bad news and truly had no time to stay in Kamui and continue celebrating...

Therefore, both parties agreed to discuss the details after everything was concluded, and after announcing the start of the food festival, Mountain Eagle discreetly arrived at Kamui Prefecture’s airport with Deveka’s car, then took the Police Team’s official plane to Bangkok.

Only on the plane did Deveka find the opportunity to have a proper chat with Mountain Eagle...

Looking at Mountain Eagle, who was fiddling with a big dog that seemed very impatient, Deveka said with a smile, "Thank you!"

Mountain Eagle was momentarily taken aback and then accepted the thanks without any pretense, saying, "I feel there’s no need for us to say such things between us...

If it weren’t for meeting Tessa, for knowing you all, there would be no Volunteer Police Yue Shan, and no current situation.

Buddhism talks about cause and effect, sowing good seeds will yield good fruits...

Maybe everything is determined by fate!"

Deveka was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched her Buddha charm, and looking at the smile on Mountain Eagle’s face, she suddenly shook her head and chuckled, "You are a very good young man..."

Then, Deveka hesitated for a moment and said earnestly, "Are you interested in becoming an official police officer?

Tessa’s father once said that you probably aren’t interested in becoming an official police officer, but I still want to give it a try.

Kamui is nice, but it’s too small; your abilities far exceed our imagination, so I think you are fully capable..."

Mountain Eagle was silent for a few seconds, and in the end, shook his head and said, "I’m quite happy now, I like Tessa very much, and I’m also good friends with Taigore.

To tell the truth, if I became an official police officer, I might become overly cautious when doing many things.

This would make me less effective when collaborating with you."

Deveka, as a seasoned senior police officer, confirmed Mountain Eagle’s attitude and didn’t insist any further, instead, she changed the subject, saying, "Taigore and his father both think you have a purpose for going to Kamui...

You have been continuously receiving a salary from a Security Company in Singapore, can I understand it as you are considering representing that Security Company to explore a new market in Kamui?"

Tessa and Taigore had discussed this issue with Mountain Eagle before, and his responses had been vague, but now that Deveka brought up the question again, he couldn’t avoid it, because it was clear she needed a definitive answer from Mountain Eagle before making a decision.

Mountain Eagle thought for a few seconds and said seriously, "I currently don’t have plans to establish a Security Company in Kamui.

Being a Mercenary is not my ideal!

However, I won’t deny that lately I have been doing some mercenary work.

There are some things that I can’t explain in just a few words, but I hope you can trust me, I wouldn’t do anything to harm Tessa and Taigore in the first place, and secondly, I’ve always held respect for the Thai Police Team."

With that, Mountain Eagle looked at Deveka whose expression had grown somewhat complex, he rubbed his nose, and said, "However, if you have any need, the Security Company can exist!

Do you have something on your mind?

My abilities are limited, and I don’t think I could solve any major issues for the Pasok family, but if there’s anything you need, I am willing to help.

Of course, regardless of the matter, I need to know the ins and outs of it, and you have to give me the space to make autonomous choices."

Deveka listened, admiring Mountain Eagle’s polite demeanor. After pondering for a moment, she said, "The recent events have made us realize the inadequacy of the Thai Police Team’s control over their jurisdiction, and we’ve also noticed the deteriorating environment around Thailand.

The Asafiye Organization and Pirate King Fayiz are relatively unfamiliar to us in the past.

While we plan to seek international police cooperation, we are also looking for some extra-systemic forces to help us safeguard Thailand."

As Deveka spoke, she looked at the somewhat surprised Mountain Eagle and said with a smile, "Don’t be surprised. Tessa’s father had this idea a long time ago. His original plan was to draw elite members from the 191st Squadron to form a team that would carry out secret missions.

But the events of recent months have led him to question the capabilities of the 191st Squadron..."

"International missions?" Mountain Eagle asked curiously, frowning, "What do you mean by international missions?

The Golden Triangle?

That’s impossible. The Thai Military has operated there many times, and no one cares if it’s outside the jurisdiction."

Deveka nodded and said, "The Golden Triangle area has never been the issue..."

Mountain Eagle looked at Deveka’s hesitant expression and hesitated before saying, "If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to tell me."

Deveka thought for a moment, then said, "It’s about the pirates in the Andaman Sea, near the Koni Ba Islands. That area is under Indian jurisdiction, and the Thai Police Team has no authority there.

Those pirates have been trying to attack the vessels in the Western Thailand Sea, and more than once, merchant ships have been harassed.

The Marine Police have tried some measures, but once they flee Thai waters, we are unable to handle them.

Amelia from AXA Insurance discussed this topic with me before, and she recommended you, telling me that you have agreed to AXA Insurance to participate in a hostage rescue operation.

So, I’m considering whether we can possibly cooperate on this issue?

International Security Companies have a natural advantage in this area!"

Mountain Eagle listened and then nodded in realization...

The issue of pirates in the Andaman Sea was something Eddie spoke about a long time ago...

At that time, he wanted Blood Fox, Mi Lu, and himself to enter the Andaman Sea with him to negotiate ransom with a group of pirates that hijacked an oil tanker, to get a sense of their workings for AXA Insurance to assess the risk level of that sea area.

This matter had been put out of Mountain Eagle’s mind since he went to Moscow, and unexpectedly, there was a follow-up.

Now it seems that Eddie, the carefree gigolo, hadn’t fully clarified the situation.

Now that the Thai side started paying attention to those pirates, it means that the pirates’ actions had harmed the interests of Thailand.

Deveka asking Mountain Eagle if he had the idea to establish a Security Company was actually a way to hire him to solve the problem with those pirates.

The Andaman Sea is under India’s jurisdiction, which is difficult for the Thai officials, but not for mercenaries.

But Mountain Eagle was still somewhat unclear why Deveka was in such a rush. From an official standpoint, shouldn’t they be seeking cooperation with India at this time?

It is when official channels are impassable that is the time for mercenaries to enter the scene.

Now that the new Prime Minister of Thailand has just taken office, Deveka proposing this idea seemed somewhat hasty.

"Why?

Just a bunch of pirates, why do you take it so seriously?"

Mountain Eagle curiously looked at Deveka and said, "Is there something special about this?"

Deveka nodded slightly and said, "Mountain, you helped us gain a lot of political leverage, but those are against the UK and US...

However, in Southeast Asia, some countries that compete with us want to take advantage of this opportunity, to use the sanctions initiated by the UK and US to strike at our export industry."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and asked, "How is this directly related to fighting pirates?"

Deveka looked at Mountain Eagle’s curious expression, smiled, and then said, "Have you heard about the Kela Canal Project?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback, then suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief: "The Kela Canal Project?

Impossible, does Thailand want to open up the Kerat Land Bridge in Chumphon Province?"

As Mountain Eagle said this, looking at Deveka’s strange expression, he slapped his forehead hard and said, "No, that’s not right. Just releasing the news would drive Singapore and Malaysia crazy?

Oh, I get it. If the Kela Canal could really be opened, those pirates in the Andaman Sea would be blocked at the western exit...

Destroying this wave of pirates and then sending a team of exploration experts to scout the area, Thailand could then conveniently release news about the development of the Kela Canal.

Singapore and Malaysia, to maintain their core status of the Malacca, would have to soften their stance toward Thailand.

I get it now, striking pirates is about showing determination and also paving the way for the subsequent announcement of the news...

If I were a member of the Lee Family in Singapore and received this news, I would definitely come to negotiate investment right away, rather than creating obstacles for your new government.

This is a highly cost-effective negotiation strategy, costing much less than actively seeking communication with the countries around the Malacca Strait."
