CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 349 UNEXPECTED VISITORS

Mountain Eagle stayed out playing at sea until 4 p.m. before returning to Ao Nan Beach...

When the speedboat stopped on the beach, Mountain Eagle immediately noticed a group of sharp 191 squad members doing push-ups in his office courtyard, led by two members of the Seal Six Team.

Several sweaty Caucasians and local lawyers stood at the entrance to the courtyard, constantly filing complaints against some local government officials from Koh Lanta.

During this period, Mountain Eagle was a superstar in Koh Lanta, and until he spent the 80 million US Dollars in his hand, let alone not doing anything too excessive, even if he did something outrageous, the local officials had to stand by his side because of the money.

The impoverished Koh Lanta Government, which had been troubled by funding issues for many years, really considered Mountain Eagle, a solid benefactor to Koh Lanta, as one of their own.

The six municipal infrastructure projects that had been approved had kick-started the stagnant municipal construction work in Koh Lanta.

This not only had political achievements but also many profits.

You, Philip Royce, even with your great wealth coming to Koh Lanta, at most, means staying in more expensive hotels and spending more on renting companions, what can you bring to Koh Lanta?

So, despite the lawyers’ verbal bombardment, the local officials of Koh Lanta remained unmoved.

Your client’s attack on police is clear and established; custody is the least, subsequent actions will be taken as the Thai Police will prosecute based on facts...

Thai cells can also detain foreigners!

As for your so-called detainee abuse, we have not seen it.

And you cannot consider the lack of air conditioning as abuse; members of Seal Six Team don’t have air conditioning either, and they haven’t said a word.

The people of Koh Lanta are anything but stingy in supporting Mountain Eagle...

Because not only does Mountain Eagle hold substantial funds, but he is also a key figure in the rise of Koh Lanta’s tourism industry against the odds.

He personally brought tourists to Koh Lanta and, using Insurance and cruise company compensation, created a tourist spending pool.

Those island country tourists receiving double compensation were extremely generous!

Moreover, in the meetings over the past ten or so days, Mountain Eagle personally developed a tourist profile for Koh Lanta, targeting young people and families below middle class as core tourists.

Foreign tycoons have never been the focus of Koh Lanta...

Those cunning local politicians, like acting in a drama series, proactively brought in the TV media. Then, commanders from various police departments took turns to withstand the pressure of the opposing senior lawyer, occasionally one of the more theatrical would passionately make a speech in front of the camera.

They pointedly didn’t mention they also dare not barge into the Seal-guarded office but kept repeating the morning’s events and listing crimes Philip Royce had committed...

In any case, they would not release him!

This approach not only didn’t cause worry among tourists but even resonated with some of the young people.

The morning’s events had already spread, and any normal-minded person couldn’t accept Philip Royce’s behavior.

Most people in the world follow simple justice; if you err, you must be punished.

Having those so-called lawyers bail him out would be tarnishing the police’s image!

As for whether this method contravenes procedural justice? Not only does Khaomai Police Station not care, but ordinary people also don’t care.

For Mountain Eagle, this was a pressure test for his comfort zone...

He left his phone number for Philip Royce, wanting to see who he could mobilize and to judge the local situation through the reaction of the locals to see if it was developing as he envisioned, and to determine which locals were worth his time and which to keep a distance from.

The actual results were much better than he imagined!

In the art of wrangling, Thais have inherited the spirit of British civil servants, though less gentlemanly, but they compensated with the Thais’ unique laziness.

After finishing their statements in front of the media, they began to play dumb – making jokes, acting crazy, and playing the fool...

When Mountain Eagle came ashore, some saw him; then a few interesting characters waved from afar signaling him not to come over and organised a few people to block the lawyers’ view, helping Mountain Eagle escape the scene.

Such kindness couldn’t be refused!

Mountain Eagle, leaning on a cane, deliberately made a sneaky gesture, and led the crowd back to Sunset Mountain.

The Chakdi family followed along...

Sunset Mountain was a shock for the Chakdi family, not because of the beautiful sunsets, but because this remote place had better infrastructure than their village.

It had electricity, internet connection, a water tower, and a water filtration system, complete with a sewage system.

Mrs. Chakdi, whom Mountain Eagle preferred to call ’Mrs. Cha’, this hardworking woman had not been idle since her arrival at Sunset Mountain...

And Mr. Poincaré, dedicated to improving Mountain Eagle’s team, instantly saw her as a lifesaver.

A bunch of people completely inexperienced in household chores gathered in a spectacular cafe, resulting in chaos inside.

Mr. Poincaré is the most organized man Mountain Eagle has ever seen, but his domestic skills couldn’t support him taking care of two messy Americans, two Russians busy building houses and dirty every day, and a Great White Shark who looks clean but actually only buys disposable underwear...
