Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Gun Shop

Mountain Eagle and Tessa followed two bodyguards, Suka and Jelate, into a black sedan...

After getting in the car, Tessa’s mood seemed to have improved a lot. She sat in the backseat and reported an address, then looked at Mountain Eagle with a bit of apology, saying, "Sorry for the trouble..."

Mountain Eagle somewhat jocularly said, "There’s no trouble at all, after all, I’m employed now.

Oh, right, will they pay me a salary?"

Tessa was taken aback for a moment, then slightly shook her head and said, "If you’re going back to Kamui, your salary will be allocated by the local police department in Kamui, and the exact amount will depend on the local budget.

I don’t expect it to be much!"

As Tessa said this, she observed Mountain Eagle, who wasn’t particularly concerned about the salary issue, and suggested, "If you’re not interested in being a policeman, you can resign from this position anytime after things are settled in Bangkok."

Mountain Eagle thought about the conveniences of being a policeman in Thailand and shook his head, "We’ll see. Actually, having a part-time job isn’t too bad.

Kamui is just a big countryside; I reckon there won’t be too much for me to deal with."

Tessa looked up at Mountain Eagle’s straight nose, fell silent for a few seconds, then said, "My mother and brother have a bit of a misunderstanding about you, and part of it is my fault.

I don’t want to explain the specifics, but if it has caused you any trouble, I apologize...

Sorry!"

Mountain Eagle was momentarily stunned by Tessa’s demeanor...

However, not embarrassing a polite lady is a basic quality of a man, so facing the sincere Tessa, Mountain Eagle extended his hand and shook hers, saying, "Let’s get to know each other again then, my name is Yue Shan, nice to meet you!

To be honest, being mistaken as the boyfriend of a beautiful woman isn’t that bad of a thing."

Saying so, Mountain Eagle looked at Tessa, who now had a smile on her face, and feigned concern, "You don’t have any high-ranking suitors, do you?

In common TV dramas, whenever a poor boy meets a rich girl, there are always a few villains who show up to cause trouble. I won’t encounter such things, will I?"

Tessa, seeing Mountain Eagle’s worried face, suddenly chuckled and said, "You really should be careful, my ex-boyfriend is not quite right in the head..."

Having heard that, Mountain Eagle said with a laugh, "Since he’s an ex-boyfriend, there’s nothing to fear. Every qualified ex should be like they’re dead, that’s basic manners and decency...

If he doesn’t understand that, I’m happy to teach him one-on-one..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, looked at Tessa with concern, and asked, "Your ex-boyfriend wouldn’t be able to beat me up, right?"

Tessa, amused by Mountain Eagle’s comical expression, laughed and patted his arm, saying, "His name is Supa, he’s an instructor for the Special Forces 191.

Suka and Jelate are elites that he trained; I bet they’re already thinking about how to report back to their instructor..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the two ’robots’ in front who were always stern-faced, suddenly turned his head with a wry smile, and lamented, "It’s all a misunderstanding..."

While Mountain Eagle was speaking, Jelate with the round face and short hair, whose smile showed dimples, gave a thumbs up and said, "Sir, we saw the combat scene; you did great!"

As he spoke, the guy winked and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, we definitely won’t reveal your whereabouts to our instructor.

That guy is just a madman, to be honest, we’ve been fed up with him for a while now..."

Watching Tessa being amused by Jelate’s comical facial expressions, Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Now I’m even more worried..."

As everyone was talking and laughing, the car left the city center, got on the highway, and soon reached a place called Nonthaburi.

Suka, following Tessa’s instructions, took an exit off the highway and turned into a small town...

When Mountain Eagle got off the car and walked into a commercial street under Tessa’s guidance, he was surprised to find that this short street actually had more than a dozen gun shops of all sizes!

And from the look of those gun shops’ signboards, they were all reputable brand agents!

It’s easy to buy guns in Thailand. With a legal identity, you can go to the nearby police station to pay and learn a bit, and then you can get a P4-level gun license or a gun purchasing license. After that, you can buy guns at will by enduring a 200% to 300% gun tax.

Of course, a P4 gun license is only valid for one firearm. If you want a second one, you have to pay the fee again and go through the process once more.

Thailand provides subsidies for police and military personnel for gun purchases, which means they can get partial tax relief. That’s why some Thai police officers struggling financially sometimes sell their guns to subsidize their household by taking advantage of the tax difference.

Mountain Eagle had a general understanding of these matters, but he was still somewhat shocked to see so many gun shops suddenly appearing in what seemed like a peaceful place in Thailand!

Tessa, looking at Mountain Eagle who seemed inexperienced, smiled and said, "What kind of gun do you like?

I know the owner of a store who specializes in modifying pistols and shotguns for IPSC competition shooters. However, due to agency restrictions, he only modifies products from the CZ group.

If you are accustomed to using Canik, Glock, or M1911, then we’ll have to check out other stores."

Mountain Eagle immediately understood what Tessa was talking about...

IPSC, as an internationally renowned event, has many divisions...

Each competition division has clear regulations concerning the models, calibers, trigger resistance, and the extent of modification of the pistols to prevent wealthy players from completely dominating ordinary players.

Czech-made CZ series pistols are the favorite brand among IPSC factory division shooters.

This is because the Czech-made CZ series pistols are not only affordable but also reliable in quality. With simple modifications and tuning, the CZ pistols can fully meet the competition’s requirements for speed and precision.

Mountain Eagle had previously chosen the Glock 40 as his personal defense weapon but was not averse to having an additional single-action quick-defense pistol...

Nodding in agreement with Tessa’s recommendation, Mountain Eagle breezed through the street, and then under Tessa’s lead, he entered a shop with an unobtrusive signboard and a white, minimalist post-modern interior.

After walking into the shop, Mountain Eagle discovered that this gun shop resembled an artistic pistol showroom...

There were no locked counters like other gun shops, nor the supermarket-style merchandise shelves.

This showroom had square lighting troughs carved out on the walls, with modified competition pistols displayed within as if they were works of art.

Mountain Eagle could recognize the mainstream models of those modified guns as M1911 and CZ75, but there were some competition guns so heavily modified that they were beyond his recognition of pistol models.

Men are naturally unable to resist these violent toys, even if the Sergeant System provided Mountain Eagle with a variety of gun modification kits for each type of gun to choose from, the cost of activating that feature was too high.

Unlike the guns in this store, the cheapest one was only 25,000 Thai Baht, which is approximately 700 US Dollars.

The most expensive was no more than 700,000 Thai Baht, twenty thousand US Dollars!

While Mountain Eagle was looking at the guns, a middle-aged man around fifty years old with dark skin, a Pot Lid haircut, and greyish sideburns walked out, laughing and hugging Tessa...

"Tessa, I heard about what happened a few days ago. I’ve told you many times that you should have a pistol with a quicker response..."

Tessa seemed unwilling to continue the topic. She took the man, who was clearly an acquaintance, over to Mountain Eagle, "This is Yue Shan...

This is Caiman, the owner of this shop, the best gunsmith in Bangkok..."

As she spoke, Tessa looked at Caiman seriously and said, "Uncle Caiman, Yue Shan saved my life a few days ago, and he now needs a good gun..."
