Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Leveraging Power to Pressure Others

Mountain Eagle wasn’t bothered that Sang Kun treated him as a mere glove; he smiled and shook hands with the old gun who knew the ways of the world, smoothly saying, "Wait a moment, I’ll take you to meet my boss soon..."

While speaking, Mountain Eagle glanced at Martin and asked Sang Kun, "May I know who this uncivil gentleman is?"

In reality, Sang Kun had only received half a million US Dollars from Danet; he had to fork out a million of his own to settle the current situation, and now he absolutely despised Martin...

"This Mr. Martin Li is the assistant of the renowned financial businessman from Southeast Asia, Mr. Danet..."

Mountain Eagle let go of Sang Kun’s hand, walked up to Martin, extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, you are now under arrest for financing terrorist activities and causing severe public disorder..."

Upon hearing this, Martin almost found it hilariously absurd...

He stood up while shaking Mountain Eagle’s hand, tauntingly said, "You must not know what the name Danet represents?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and replied, "It doesn’t matter what Danet represents. You are the criminal, I’m the police; it’s only natural for me to arrest you."

Seeing such an obviously corrupt cop put on such a serious facade, Martin laughed loudly, raising his hands and said, "OK, you got me, what’s next..."

Mountain Eagle, observing Martin’s arrogant demeanor, pulled out his CZ75 pistol from behind his waist with his left hand, and to Martin’s disbelief, he shot him in the foot...

The .40 caliber hollow-point bullet was extremely destructive...

Martin, gazing at his punctured right foot, was stunned for a few seconds before realizing he should feel pain...

"Ah..."

Watching Martin writhe in agony as he collapsed onto the sofa, Mountain Eagle smiled at Sang Kun, who was dumbfounded, and said, "Financing terrorism is a very serious crime. He resisted, so I subdued him. It’s reasonable, right?"

Sang Kun, watching Martin in excruciating pain, said with a pained expression, "His boss is Danet!"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and nonchalantly replied, "So what?

Would his boss really start a war with the Thai Police over a small fry getting a hole in his foot?"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle waved dismissively, "My boss is waiting at the café downstairs. I suggest you go see him yourself and try to appear sincerely."

After saying that, Mountain Eagle looked at the stupefied Sang Kun, gestured with an inviting hand and said, "Mr. Sang Kun..."

Sang Kun glared at the pitifully screaming Martin and with great displeasure told Mountain Eagle, "I’m on my way now; he’s Danet’s main assistant, don’t mess around!"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand to show he understood, then waited for Sang Kun to hurriedly leave the office. He then sat next to Martin and said with a smile, "Martin, tell me, why are you guys after Basong?

I’m really curious. The Prime Minister of Thailand probably isn’t worth five million, so why do this?"

In fact, Mountain Eagle wasn’t the type to be brash and arrogant. If he had shown enough dominance with Sang Kun earlier because the role demanded it, he was now simply acting as himself.

With a bounty of five million on him, there was no room for negotiation between the parties.

Although the other party still didn’t realize that Mountain Eagle was their actual target, it didn’t prevent him from taking advantage of the Thai Police’s authority to collect some interest first.

He still wasn’t clear about who exactly Danet was, but he knew for certain that such a big shot would never go to war with the Thai Police over an assistant who made a ’mistake’ in Thailand.

Because of the costs!!

To stand up for his people would require high costs to potentially bypass Taigore’s family.

Would Taigore’s family fight to the death for Mountain Eagle?

Probably not!

But it has its price, and that price is the cost.

Your little brother gets bullied, the big brother comes with a couple of guys to back him up; at worst you get locked up for a few days.

That’s the life of a low-level thug!

Slightly more upscale bosses, when their subordinates are bullied, they always figure out the details of the other party and then negotiate with the other party or their boss.

If you’re weaker than me, I’ll press you down and make you compensate double according to our strength comparison.

If you’re stronger than me, I’ll reason with you and ask for compensation at the price.

But at a higher level, even those big shots who deal with millions a day, would they risk their business and suffer losses to take revenge just because their subordinate was bullied?

Impossible!

Because it’s not worth it!

At this point, a few hefty red envelopes to the subordinate and some harsh words showing support are all that’s needed.

Because no matter how this big shot presents himself, essentially his stance conflicts with that of the police.

Of course, the Thai Police are easy to talk to when things are amicable, but it’s a completely different story once they turn against you!

It’s too costly to bribe Taigore’s whole family, but going directly after Mountain Eagle for revenge requires not only the expense of hiring an expert, but also the trouble of completely antagonizing Taigore’s family.

After all, Danet has to pay out of his own pocket for whatever he wants to do, while Taigore mobilizes the police using the nation’s funds. Any opposition will only bring endless obstacles to this big shot’s business in Thailand.

That’s why Mountain Eagle is so unbridled!

He’s all too familiar with leveraging momentum...

And he’s clear that as long as one doesn’t get clever and act without the big shot’s knowledge, even borrowed ’power’ should be thoroughly utilized for a substantial one-time return.

Only then can one close the gap in relationships by sharing profits and extend the borrowed rights into broader influence.

Without these skills, how could Mountain Eagle, a nobody, climb to a top position in a state-owned enterprise at the age of 24?

Perhaps this guy named Martin will be bailed out of the police station soon since there’s no concrete evidence to charge him, and he also has high-end connections in Thailand.

But Mountain Eagle doesn’t care. Once he marks someone as an enemy, there’s no turning back...

No matter who you are, you’ve only got one life!

Martin, in agony and with eyes red with anger stares at Mountain Eagle and says, "You’ll regret this!"

Mountain Eagle is amused by Martin...

These people spent 5 million to take his life, and now they’re threatening him with regret...

As Mountain Eagle laughs, he suddenly grabs one of Martin’s hands, flips him over, and presses him down on the couch, then knees him in the lower back, forcefully breaking two of his fingers...

"Why offer a bounty of 5 million US Dollars?"

Martin’s lower back is pinned down by Mountain Eagle’s knee, and he twitches desperately like a dying frog. When he realizes the pain won’t subside, he shouts loudly, "Because that person did something in Myanmar which led to a big shot’s son dying on a medical ship...

Let me go, let go...

You’ll regret this!"

In an instant, Mountain Eagle thinks of the poor soul who died without his kidneys and those two doctors he’d killed...

He can’t continue to ask now. Martin won’t confess to the core reason, and further questioning might arouse his suspicion.

The dead Basong has procured a highly lenient environment for him; he can’t waste that!

But it doesn’t matter anymore, knowing the reason for the bounty and who’s behind it is enough!

Mountain Eagle stands up and glances at Gru who’s come over. He notices this guy doesn’t find anything odd, so he smiles and says, "This trip was timely, ran into the very person offering the 5 million...

I doubt ordinary interrogation will get him to confess his own deeds.

But no matter who comes to fish him out, Taigore should be able to..."
