Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Police Dream

"In Thailand, every place’s police credentials have some unique details.

The color and the badge design of volunteer tourism police credentials differ, and when you showed your credentials just now, I noticed the Kamui police marker...

My father was a tourism police in Kamui before he was killed, so I’m very familiar with the police force.

Kamui never had a volunteer tourism police arrangement before, and just yesterday a brother of mine called to tell me that there’s an office being set up in Ao Nan for volunteer tourism police, and someone would be there to form the Kamui volunteer police team...

I originally wanted to go back and apply, but after seeing your credentials..."

Mountain Eagle did not expect a butterfly in Bangkok could stir the winds that affected Luo Yang 150 kilometers away...

Faced with the sudden appearance of Luo Yang, Mountain Eagle nonchalantly shook his head and said: "Volunteer tourism police are recruiting immigrants from other countries, and they require..."

Luo Yang couldn’t wait for Mountain Eagle to finish, he excitedly said: "I can, I can, I meet the requirements, I am an immigrant from Myanmar, I was just three years old when I followed my father to Kamui to join my grandfather.

I know you’re a Chinese descendant, my grandfather was also from Hua Country, he was once a soldier in the Expeditionary Army, and after helping Thailand in warfare, he earned his citizenship much later, and then brought over my father and myself to Thailand."

Mountain Eagle was surprised; Luo Yang’s background was quite similar to his own, as a descendant of the Expeditionary Army like him, also having forebears who had fought as mercenaries in Thailand and obtained citizenship.

Despite Luo Yang’s dark complexion which clearly made him look purely Thai, his eyes made Mountain Eagle involuntarily want to trust him.

However, with a broken volunteer tourism police office running only on an annual budget of 300,000 Thai Baht, and the possibility to outsource jobs elsewhere, Mountain Eagle, who had contracted that office, certainly couldn’t afford to hire part-time help.

The office first needed a front desk staff who can speak English and is familiar with Thai laws and insurance policies...

Just hiring such a front desk staff would cost a lot, how could there be any budget left to employ Luo Yang?

Luo Yang didn’t seem like someone who could just sit quietly at a desk and work...

Mountain Eagle was not the kind of person who cannot say no, but Luo Yang’s eyes were too bright, his face too full of longing...

"My budget there is not a lot, and I’m not familiar with you, so I need to think it over."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, I’m ready to do anything just to become a police officer. I can drive cars and boats, speak English, Myanmar Language, and a bit of Chinese...

I can, I really can!"

Mountain Eagle curiously asked, "You really want to be a police officer that much? Didn’t you hear about my limited budget?"

Luo Yang paused, then looked at Mountain Eagle with the eyes of a stray dog, and asked, "Boss, how limited is ’limited’?"

Mountain Eagle didn’t bother to correct this guy anymore, he thought for a moment and said: "The most is 5,000 Baht per month, and if future budgets don’t increase, the salary can’t either..."

"Okay, no problem..."

Mountain Eagle was interrupted several times by this impatient fellow, and he said annoyed, "If you interrupt me again, then, um, what did you just say?

You’re fine with 5,000 Thai Baht?"

Luo Yang nodded without hesitation: "I can, as long as I can wear a police uniform, I’m okay with it!"

Mountain Eagle was somewhat helpless against this guy’s persistence and curiously asked, "Why do you so desperately want to become a police officer?"

Luo Yang gritted his teeth and replied, "My father was falsely accused of stealing from tourists and then died in a car accident.

Ever since then, neighbors have started pointing fingers at me and my mother, and my mother couldn’t take the criticism and committed suicide by jumping into the sea...

Boss, my father was not a bad man, he would never steal. I need to put on the police uniform again, I need to prove myself to everyone who looks down on me..."

Luo Yang spoke somewhat incoherently, but his point came across fairly clear...

Mountain Eagle really found no reason to refuse a young man so dedicated to the police profession, especially if he wasn’t boasting, then his skills are truly formidable, and most importantly, he didn’t ask for much!

Luo Yang was only 160 cm tall, standing next to Mountain Eagle he only reached his shoulders, but there was a hard-to-describe spirit about him that Mountain Eagle couldn’t ignore.

Looking at the calluses on Luo Yang’s hands and the layers of dead skin on his shins, Mountain Eagle asked, "Have you practiced Muay Thai?"

Luo Yang nodded vigorously and said, "I’ve been practicing Muay Thai and Kabila at the gym since I was young. Although I haven’t received formal certification, I have competed against a 7th degree coach from Chiang Mai Songpa Boxing Gym, and I won!"

Mountain Eagle had a deep impression of Muay Thai, not because he had encountered Muay Thai fighters, but because he grew up watching Hong Kong films, and many of those films featured segments on Muay Thai fighting, where the fighters seemed exceptionally skilled.

And ’Kabila,’ which he knew about, is a type of twin sword technique from Thailand that combined with Muay Thai comprises the standard arsenal of ancient Thai warriors.

Subduing some drunken Peninsula folks wasn’t a big deal for Luo Yang, but if he wasn’t lying about defeating a 7th degree coach, that truly marked him as an expert.

Muay Thai’s ranking system goes up to 11 degrees, which is an honorary degree.

From 7 to 10 degrees are coach levels, with 7th degree marking the ability to instruct students, effectively a 1st level coach degree.

A Muay Thai 7th degree might not always win against a lower degree but younger and adept fighter, but someone who can defeat a 7th degree is undoubtedly formidable.

After some consideration, Mountain Eagle finally nodded and said, "5000 baht, probation for a month, you can go to Kamui first and wait for me, I’ll be there in a few days..."

Luo Yang excitedly nodded, then sheepishly followed beside Mountain Eagle and asked, "Boss, can I come with you..."

Mountain Eagle frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Worried I might cheat you?"

Luo Yang shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, not at all, it’s just that I’ve spent all this week’s salary on repaying the boss, and I don’t have enough left for food after buying a ticket..."

This all-or-nothing approach of Luo Yang amused Mountain Eagle, who laughed and said, "So I have to give you an advance on your salary, is that it?"

Luo Yang waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, just bring me along wherever you go, having something to eat will be enough, I will do whatever you ask..."

Watching Luo Yang, who certainly wasn’t weak yet bore a pitiful look, Mountain Eagle shook his head in exasperation, pulled out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out 2000 Thai baht, and handed them to Luo Yang...

"Buy some suitable clothes, then take a ride to Kamui and wait for me there. I’ll get in touch when I arrive."

Luo Yang naturally accepted the money, then pulled out a worn Nokia with missing keys from his shorts pocket, asking, "Boss, could you give me your phone number?"

Mountain Eagle originally thought if this guy took the 2000 baht and ran away, it would save him some trouble, but seeing his look, he sighed heavily and gave out his number...

Watching Luo Yang make the call and confirming his own phone rang before stopping, Mountain Eagle sighed again...

"I’ll contact you if needed, don’t call me otherwise..."
