CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 423: AREN’T THE CLUES COMING?

Daniel was a bit shocked looking at Mountain Eagle, the Chinese descendant...

Europeans and Americans actually have some racial concepts. In their minds, Chinese are generally tagged with labels like modest, hardworking, good at math, introverted, and timid.

Don’t think ’mysterious’ is a good word; Europeans and Americans also find Congo mysterious.

Now, the deeply ingrained elite demeanor of Mountain Eagle shattered Daniel’s stereotype of Chinese descendants!

In all his years, he had never seen anyone who could sort things out so clearly without much intelligence support.

Gathering all possibilities, then organizing them into a clear chain and, intriguingly, even if the chain broke at some point, it didn’t hinder him from executing a part of that chain.

Of course, this is related to the geography and cultural environment of Alaska...

Since it’s so remote here, there aren’t other interests, hence there are not many interference factors affecting Mountain Eagle’s judgment.

But even so, this is a remarkable ability, Daniel felt he couldn’t do it.

He didn’t even realize that he came to investigate a case, but ended up not only being dragged into the fray by Mountain Eagle but also had to help him involve more people.

Mountain Eagle did not remind him; watching him run to the side to communicate with someone through a satellite phone, Mountain Eagle helped Luna subdue two little bears that started causing trouble after they were fed. He allowed this energetic little girl to exhibit the authority of Big Sister, then he went over to the outdoor kitchen to show the Indian women how to make Chinese-style potato beef.

Many people did not realize that the leadership at the camp was subtly shifting without their awareness!

It was actually Jesse, Wayne’s son, who noticed something different because he always hung around Mountain Eagle.

He couldn’t pinpoint what changed, but once this big boss returned, the camp mysteriously started becoming more organized.

The women in the tribe were busy working, even children his age were given manageable tasks.

When people started working, the anger and worry about the tribe’s injuries subsided a lot, even smiles began appearing on some faces.

The big boss was always cheerful, yet wherever he went, he became the center!

Jesse watched his mom smile from ear to ear because she learned a secret recipe. He anxiously glanced at where his dad was, then bravely approached to make sure he was noticed, only to be scolded away by his mom...

Seeing his mom, who usually disliked animals, now praising the filthy girl and the two bears behind her as cute...

Feeling his world collapsing, a dejected Jesse walked over to his father, seeking answers.

Amongst the adult hunters, he felt anger, restlessness, complaints...

No order, no mutual understanding, just endless arguing!

Jesse sat listening for a few minutes, seeing his father’s exhausted eyes as he sternly tried to convince the tribespeople...

Then he glanced back at the well-ordered and comfortable dining group, feeling like he understood something but couldn’t quite articulate it.

Old Ruby, who had been observing Jesse, noted his distracted look and said in his raspy voice, "Jesse, leading all tribespeople to survive in the long term is a significant challenge.

That man is remarkable; you should learn from him!"

Jesse paused, "I don’t understand, I’m not a father, I can’t make everyone listen to me."

Old Ruby smiled, "No one can make everyone obey..."

Upon hearing this, Jesse pointed to Mountain Eagle, who was accompanying Luna around, "He can, I didn’t see what he did, but my mom and others seem very happy..."

Old Ruby patted Jesse’s head and said, "Then you should observe more carefully...

Then you’ll find out, he only does things he is good at and that others need!

In times of uncertainty, such people can easily become leaders!

Your father became a leader when he used his hunting skills to find meat that helped your tribe survive the winter.

He’s doing the same, just better at easing everyone’s mood."

Old Ruby poked a bewildered Jesse with his cane, chuckling, "If you want to take over your father’s place in the future, you must not only possess hunting skills but also his managerial abilities.

Let everyone have something to do, make most people feel they have gained...

This is what a leader should do!"

Jesse didn’t understand, but combining Old Ruby’s words with the current situation, he remembered...

’Let everyone have something to do, make most people feel they have gained!’

Apart from the hunters, there were no idlers at the scene, even the children were either helping to cook or fishing.

No one asked if these tasks had to be done today; it seemed like when there was work, people didn’t mind, rather, they were happy, perhaps feeling more secure.

Then, the power naturally shifted, at least at the camp!

Mountain Eagle, almost subconsciously, had planted a seed in Jesse’s mind...

He laughed and chatted with the ever-curious Luna, occasionally causing more trouble yet always encouraging everyone...

Luna fed the bears some sliced beef, and Mountain Eagle praised the woman responsible for cutting the meat, commending her skills...

When Luna damaged a spice bag, Mountain Eagle took the opportunity to educate everyone on the usage of spices and where to buy them, while also praising the diligence of the Indian women and their eagerness to learn...

Luna realized that the more she helped, the happier everyone seemed, so she tried even harder to "help"...

Mountain Eagle was exceptionally good at entertaining children. Seeing Luna’s increasing eagerness to meddle, he decided to assign her the crucial task of tending the fire...

Watching the lively little sister clench her fists and swear, she was sure she could become the best fire-making princess...

Mountain Eagle, smiling, pulled out two Police Dog Controllers and installed them in the ears of the two lively little bears, then clipped a device resembling a Bluetooth earpiece onto Luna’s ear...

"Luna, you are the best fire-making princess, and the best big sister. You need to make these two little bears obey...

The secret to making others like you is not to be a bother to them.

You are so cute and diligent, everyone surely loves you, but not them...

If you don’t want them to be chased away or locked up, you need to teach them to obey!"

With Mountain Eagle’s help, Luna added wood to the two large stoves, and staring with big eyes, she said, "Daddy, what if they don’t understand what I say?"

Mountain Eagle replied with a smile, "Trust me, they can understand you, but initially, you need to use some food and some hand movements as aids..."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, he prepared some minced beef, blanched it in hot water, tuned his controller to the same frequency, and then demonstrated to Luna how to train the little bears...

Reward them with food if they obey; if they disobey, give them a light scolding; if they still don’t listen, let Balang discipline them.

Before the beef blanching was even finished, the two little bears were already obeying the sit and lay down commands under the temptation of the minced beef.

Luna instantly found joy in this...

Training wild beasts is a very meticulous and patience-testing task. Mountain Eagle wasn’t planning to use the brown bears as police dogs; as long they didn’t cause trouble, it was fine. Just enough to train Luna’s patience while using up some of her energy was enough!

Mountain Eagle could responsibly say that the effort and love he poured into Luna was less than half of what he gave to his own son, yet the feedback he received was immensely fulfilling.

Watching Luna add wood to the fire, using minced beef to coax the little bears to listen to her, a happy smile appeared on Mountain Eagle’s face...

He couldn’t help but fantasize, if his son were here, would he also be as happy as Luna...

And once again, the camp rose a bit higher in Mountain Eagle’s heart!

Happy times always fly by quickly. As two large pots of potato beef stew began to emit enticing aromas, the Indian Hunters who had been arguing in the distance also came back to their senses...

Food is the heaven for the people; nothing is more important than eating!

Mountain Eagle prepared a large stainless steel bowl for Luna, brimming with anticipation, filled it with half a bowl of steamed rice, then ladled on thick potato beef stew, and added a piece of secret recipe grilled salmon...

The little girl waited until Mountain Eagle also prepared a bowl for himself, then trotted back to the tent with two drooling little bears, sat on a small stool holding a spoon, yet not knowing how to begin eating...

Not until Mountain Eagle sat across her and demonstrated...

He stirred the spoon, allowing the sauce to blend thoroughly with the rice, then scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

Luna mimicked Mountain Eagle’s actions, took a bite, and soon her eyebrows rose in joy as she sped up her eating...

Watching Luna eat till beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, occasionally tidying her wild hair, Mountain Eagle pulled out a rubber band for ammunition magazines, went behind Luna, and laboriously tied her wild hair into a messy bundle...

Though Mountain Eagle’s hair tying skills weren’t great, he was highly praised...

Without the disturbance of hair, Luna, who could now eat more freely, smiled sweetly at Mountain Eagle and said, "Daddy, you are amazing..."

Who could resist that?

Just as Mountain Eagle was enjoying his parent-child time, Wayne walked over with a hesitant expression...

"Mountain, when are we setting out tomorrow?

I have contacted the State Police; I need the Monster’s corpses to convince the State Police that we’ve encountered trouble..."

Mountain Eagle, visibly annoyed by Wayne’s mis-timed interruption, thought for a moment and said, "We leave tomorrow morning..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at Luna, who had put down her spoon and was staring at him. He said with a smile, "We will leave in the morning and return in the afternoon; I want Luna to taste more of my signature dishes."

Luna, hearing this, beamed and said, "Daddy, the beef with potatoes is delicious; I could eat it every day!"

Just as Mountain Eagle was about to boast about his culinary skills to build anticipation for Luna, Daniel ran over and said, "Mountain, there’s news. A group has gone to an oil company camp near Wayne Light.

Local State Police told me that these people brought a lot of items and food in several air shipments.

I consulted the oil company; there are no plans to increase production in the oil fields near Wayne Light..."

Mountain Eagle, looking at the excited Daniel, sighed helplessly and said, "Sir, should I arrange the plane for you, or would you like to find a way to fly there for preliminary reconnaissance yourself?

Once it’s confirmed that’s where the munitions are stored, notify me right away..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle once again looked at his daughter Luna, hesitated, and said, "Daddy has some very important事 work to do...

The area near the Arctic isn’t suitable for kids, but I can bring you with me tomorrow for hunting...

I guess you’re four years old now; Alaskan children should learn how to use a gun from a young age...

I’m a Sharpshooter, and I think my daughter can be one too!"

Luna, with rice in her mouth, nodded vigorously and said unclearly, "Daddy, I can do it, I’m great, I can protect you..."

Mountain Eagle laughed heartily, ruffled Luna’s hair with his hand, then looking at the two poorly-timed buddies, spread his hands and declared, "Then it’s settled!"
