Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 780 - 727: Gloating
Originally, everything was going smoothly. After the transfer of the two prisoners was completed, both parties held a celebratory banquet at Samantha's restaurant...
But somehow, someone brought up the matter between you and Tessa, which led to some unpleasant disputes.
I heard that your father-in-law did not look well when he left, and my father was very angry. Moreover, he insisted that he only knows Yue Shan from Thailand and doesn't know of a Yue Ziheng!"
Mountain Eagle, hearing this, felt his scalp tingle and said, "Why is your dad angry?
He can hold a celebratory banquet at your mistress Samantha's restaurant, so why is he angry?"
Taigore said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense!
Samantha and I are just very good friends of the opposite sex!
I am a promising young man with hopes to compete for the second position in the Thai Police Team, and I am very loyal to marriage and feelings. How could I have a mistress?"
Mountain Eagle laughed bitterly and said, "Then Tessa and I are also very good friends of the opposite sex..."
Taigore said nonchalantly, "Telling me is useless. If you have the guts, go say it in front of my father or Tessa."
Then Taigore said gleefully, "Boy, you're in trouble...
My dad, in front of your father-in-law, clearly refused to acknowledge any connection between you and that murderer from the East University, and he even took out your file and badge as evidence.
It's said that your father-in-law's face turned blue at the time, and when they returned to the country the next day, your father-in-law even refused to shake my dad's hand."
Mountain Eagle glanced secretly at Xiao Wan, then guiltily moved a bit further away, lowered his voice, and asked, "What exactly is going on?
What does this have to do with Tessa getting hurt?"
Taigore laughed and said, "Now there is a voice emerging in our family, and someone wants to push for a union between you and Tessa.
Just like how I was forced to marry a woman I barely knew, but you're luckier; at least your feelings for Tessa are genuine."
Mountain Eagle really couldn't understand these Thais' way of thinking. According to his values, if some bastard with a wife slept with his sister, he would go straight to punch the guy without a word...
But Taigore or most of his family felt nothing about such matters. Even in the early days, Tessa's mother even encouraged him to act as Tessa's de-stressor.
The open attitude shown by these Thais towards sex and feelings is something that a young man like Mountain Eagle, who grew up under the red flag, could hardly understand.
It seemed Taigore could sense Mountain Eagle's thoughts, adjusted his attitude, and said seriously, "Mountain, Tessa is under a lot of pressure right now and is very angry...
For the past few months, she has been giving Samantha trouble. Then Samantha went to Bangkok to seek help from me, causing my wife to sadly return to her mother's house, which led to me being scolded many times by the elders on both sides.
This time, Tessa only suffered a slight injury, but her internal wounds are deeper because you encountered trouble but didn't inform her, instead taking your wife and kids to Alaska to weather it.
Originally, she felt guilty towards your wife and intended to take advantage of the injury to evade for a while.
But now she learned from Sofia about your situation there, so she changed her mind and decided to throw all the trouble at you.
So I said you're in trouble, and my dad is serious this time..."
"What is your dad aiming for?"
Mountain Eagle said worriedly, "The Pasok family is so formidable; what does giving Tessa to me accomplish?"
Taigore sighed and said, "We've consumed too much over the past half year, and now there's some indigestion. You're identified by some adults in the family as the key to resolving our indigestion problem...
......"
In the eyes of the adults in the Pasok family, Mountain Eagle is a key figure intertwined with various interests. What does it matter that Yue Ziheng was married, as long as Yue Shan is not married?
As long as Tessa unites with him, half of his assets in Thailand would belong to Tessa.
They are not after money or assets; rather, it's the positive influence and benefits that Mountain Eagle's money and assets generate for Thailand.
Thanks to an early political upheaval, the Pasok family, aided by Mountain Eagle, leveraged the "Replacer" issue to gain significant political advantages through a massive purge. Now, the family's status in the military and police circles has risen too quickly.
Though they adhere to family principles, not intending to usurp chief positions, they do control most subordinate positions.
The new chiefs want to make their mark, thus the pressure on the Pasok family builds up.
Once the King and the Thaksin family conclude their struggle, everything returns to normal, power reverts to equilibrium, but the Pasok family has no room to retreat.
They gained too much over the past half year and made too many enemies with the purges. Retreating now would trigger a series of chain reactions.
This large family, due to their disciplined upbringing, has long been trusted by the King, so their power is not minor, but the cash they can utilize isn't ample.
Now that the new government is in place, with only holding the subordinate positions in the police team, it would be challenging to maintain power beyond their roles.
And Mountain Eagle, holding vast funds and constantly investing in Kamui, is their ideal leverage point.
In Thailand, money can leverage power, which has already been proven once in Kamui!
