Pattaya and Bangkok made the news...

Several of the poorer neighboring countries wanted to see Thailand's embarrassment, but what surprised them was that Thailand, despite heavy losses on both the UK and US fronts, resolved the issue through very strong measures.

Even more unexpectedly, although the United "States was still clamoring about sanctions, no actual actions were taken, and they quickly signed an anti-terrorism and anti-pirate cooperation agreement with Thailand.

This disappointed Myanmar, Cambodia, and Malaysia, who hoped to benefit when Thailand was sanctioned.

Within just a week, all kinds of major news took over the headlines, the new Prime Minister, high-ranking police officers, and the Ministry of Defense made frequent appearances, silencing the pro-Thaksin media and groups in Thailand.

Also affected by the coup, the new government employed rather poor methods that significantly hindered the flight of international capital, escalating the confrontation with Thailand...

As Thailand's political scene thrived, the Thai Baht began to plummet significantly.

The continuous victories of the new Thai government felt like adding fuel to the fire; not only did it fail to warm up Thailand's economy, but because of the confrontation with international capital, the economy entered a period of spiraling downfall.

While Mountain Eagle Chris Jon kept bringing in good news from Kamui, he received the 'Chulalongkorn Distinguished Medal' in Bangkok...

The 'Chulalongkorn Distinguished Medal' is modeled after European knight orders, divided into seven levels.

Mountain Eagle received the second-highest level available to civilians, the 'Knight Commander' medal.

The international prestige of Thai medals is limited, but domestically in Thailand, it's a whole different story.

You see, only 250 slots are available for the 'Knight Commander' title, and a spot only opens up when a previous recipient dies.

Currently, having such a medal may seem insignificant, but it actually represents the recognition of the Thai Royal Family...

In ancient times, this was a symbol of dividing interests between the Thai Royal Family and local magnates.

Of course, the significance of such a medal or status is completely different today; what Mountain Eagle likes most is that having the 'Knight Commander' status allows him to enjoy tax breaks in any business dealings in Thailand.

Tessa had someone help Mountain Eagle set up an import-export trading company; having a 'Knight Commander' as the boss makes the company's treatment completely different from ordinary ones.

To put it slightly exaggeratedly, it's akin to a lowly royal company, except that it still has to comply with Thai laws, this company naturally occupies the trading high ground.

Mountain Eagle doesn't even have to run it himself; just flaunting his status attracts other trading companies to affiliate with the tax advantages.

Of course, this can't be overdone, but from a certain perspective, this is the golden bowl given by the new Thai Government and police force, in appreciation for Mountain Eagle's significant contributions over the past period.

Who would have thought that while Mountain Eagle was manipulating during Thailand's economic downturn, he could get so many benefits from the political ring?

Even more unimaginable, the cruise company actually complied truthfully with Mountain Eagle's compensation demands, depositing $80 million into the designated account.

The infamous Southeast Asian Pirate King Fays, in order to save the cruise company and prevent a $500 million cruise ship from turning to scrap, to shrink his operations without clashing with giants like AXA elsewhere, and to cope with the prospective complete operational failure and strikes from the CIA...

He willingly chose to pay the compensation, then took the $30 million payout from AXA Insurance and also deployed a team to Kamui to start dealing with tourist issues.

That's actually just paying money!

AXA Insurance paid once, the cruise company paid again, and the shocked tourists, now hopeful, received double compensation and suddenly had a substantial amount of cash...

Then these frightened yet hopeful tourists contributed significantly to Kamui's GDP!

When Mountain Eagle received a call from Mr. Poincaré, he could hardly believe how readily Fays had surrendered...

Although the origin of that $80 million was somewhat dubious, Mountain Eagle didn't care with the backing of the Thai Government.

He didn't want this money; he just used it to eventually invest in various infrastructure and public facilities aimed at developing Kamui.

Under these circumstances, whether or not the money is black money simply doesn't matter!

When the investment account hit the scale of hundreds of millions, the profits it could generate was a completely different matter!

Although the larger the investment scale, the greater the financial losses for Thailand, Mountain Eagle couldn't care less...

He was promoting Kamui's tourism while simultaneously making a killing in the financial market, respected on both counts.

This was the best scenario he could imagine!

Even though it wouldn't last long, he would soon find new lucrative opportunities in the United States...

Originally, Mountain Eagle planned to stay in Bangkok for two days, but he ended up being entangled in various matters for 10 days before returning to Kamui.

.......

Seal Six Team's Sam felt miserable...

Because his teammates were still lying in the hospital, while he had to stay dutifully by Mountain Eagle's side like a diligent bodyguard.
