When the banner that read "Welcome Home Beach Boy" appeared on the road with the convoy, almost all local vehicles that encountered the convoy honked their horns in tribute...

Mountain Eagle, who was enjoying the thrill of driving, was getting a bit curious about this situation...

He was aware that his decision to snatch the tourists from the Diamond Queen had made a huge contribution to Kamui's tourism industry.

But he never imagined that things would escalate to this extent!

This level of popularity seemed a bit too exaggerated!

"What the hell is going on?"

As a truck approached from the opposite direction and honked at him, Mountain Eagle instinctively chuckled and waved, then turned his head to glance at Broadcast sitting in the passenger seat and said, "Why do I feel like everyone knows me now?

This is fucking wrong; I'm not meant to be in the public eye!"

Broadcast didn't quite grasp Mountain Eagle's concerns; he thought Mountain Eagle was worried about drawing enemies' attention after gaining wide exposure, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone knows you're a hero cop. The Thai newspapers and television stations have been alerted, they won't release your photos.

You're now the hero of Kamui, the tourism industry here has completely exploded in the last half month!

All the hotels and inns are fully booked, there are queues at all the tourist spots, all the boats have business, and even the tuk-tuk drivers have made a lot of money.

The food festival we organized in Ao Nan was jam-packed.

Now, Ko Lanta wants to self-fund a new, even bigger food festival, inviting more vendors to participate and several celebrities.

It's also completely packed now!

The girls I brought over are now making more in a day than they used to in a week; they're thrilled to death, and so are the tourists.

Mountain Eagle, Kamui is now a gold mine, everyone wants to come here for a piece of the action...

Actually, I think you're overthinking it, your enemies from the Golden Triangle are dead, even if one or two minor characters are left, what can they do to you?

On the contrary, if you were willing to reveal your identity, I think you could run for Congressman or something..."

Mountain Eagle really hadn't anticipated that things would turn out this way...

Thailand had experienced a coup and was facing verbal sanctions from Europe and America; a slump in tourism this year was inevitable.

The new Minister of Foreign Affairs flew to East on his second day in office to seek assistance, and within just three days, a series of strategic cooperation agreements were reached, including collaborations concerning railways, ports, foreign trade, and more.

They even nailed down an air force exercise plan, preparing to use their Eagle fighters for practice with East...

This political pivot was so sudden that people couldn't react in time, expanding East's influence while reflecting Thailand's pessimistic stance.

The losses from Europe and America had to be recouped from tourists from East.

Then Mountain Eagle started a series of actions in Kamui, and after getting drunk one night, he decided to share the good stuff from the cruise with the people – who could have expected such a huge spectacle?

God knows, at first, he just wanted the island country tourists to spend their money in Kamui to give the local tourism a little boost.

Who would have known the effect would be this spectacular?

After hearing Broadcast's explanation, Mountain Eagle said with some resignation, "I really don't care about the people from the Golden Triangle or any other enemies; the specifics are complex, I can't explain it to you..."

Broadcast looked at Mountain Eagle with a bit of envy and said, "You're a cop, what are you afraid of?

FUCK, I didn't feel it before, but now I think having a cop's identity is really fucking awesome."

With that, Broadcast blinked his eyes, speaking in a pleading tone, "Buddy, you've got to help me out!

I've always wanted to open a luxury nightclub in my life, and I'm just short of some funds now..."

Mountain Eagle looked at this bastard, eager to run naked down the path of prostitution with those cloth-less sisters, and shook his head, "You talk about me being a cop, how can I do something illegal?

Shouldn't the normal process be you starting your business and then regularly paying me protection money?

Otherwise, what's the point of being a cop?"

Broadcast looked distressed and said, "I don't have the money...

Killing Bee wants to expand his bar, Big Mouth's construction team has expanded, Measles doesn't want to give up taxi driving and his family, and God Stick donated all his money to the temple, wanting to return and become a monk.

They are all unwilling to lend me money, Mountain Eagle, you're my only hope!"

Mountain Eagle was laughed at by Broadcast's pleas, waving his hand, "You just went and bought an 800,000 Thai Baht car, and now you're telling me you don't have money?

Whoever wants to partner with me, you tell them, I am not involved...

And if your clubs are involved in human trafficking, forcing women into prostitution, drugging and raping, I'll be the first to bust in, shut you down, and send you to jail..."

Broadcast realizing he couldn't trick Mountain Eagle, sighed and said, "It's Pulichenko..."

Mountain Eagle was taken aback for a moment, curiously looking at Broadcast, said, "How did a local mercenary like you get involved with the Big Russian Gang?

You, as a tough local, have to listen to that bastard Pulichenko?

Don't you have any national dignity left?"

Broadcast sighed and said, "Pulichenko has money, right?

He came to Kamui last week to explore the market, and I happened to meet him.

He heard I knew you and wanted to partner with you through me to open a nightclub..."

Mountain Eagle sighed upon hearing this. A small-time pimp from Thailand hooking up with an old pimp from the Big Russian Gang wasn't really a big deal, but the "nightclub" business just didn't mesh well with Kamui's character.

It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but in a relaxed place like Kamui, running a nightclub profitably required a highly professional operator.

If Pulichenko had such people under him, they'd likely be thriving in Pattaya, the sex capital. There's no need for him to come investing in the serene atmosphere of Kamui.

Mountain Eagle looked at Broadcast, who seemed a bit down and out, and smilingly said, "Buddy, how long do you think Kamui's current situation can last?

Quit kidding around, once the cruise ship craze blows over, it'll quickly revert back to its old ways.

You're free to want to work as a pimp, but seriously, don't invest in heavy asset businesses.

If you really have money burning a hole in your pocket, hand it over to me. I guarantee an 8% annual return."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Broadcast, who seemed hesitant to speak, and with a smile said, "If you're feeling sore about the 800,000 you spent, once I'm in the office, you can take the car and go."

Broadcast waved his hand and said, "No need, the money for the car was actually given by Pulichenko. That guy seems particularly afraid of you, so he didn't stay in Kamui but flew off in a hurry."

Mountain Eagle chuckled and shook his head. Three days ago, the 20 million Pulichenko owed had come due; he had come to Kamui to carry out the bank transfer.

The guy wasn't exactly afraid of Mountain Eagle; rather, he was hoping to close the distance between them by investing as a partner.

If Pulichenko hadn't been in a hurry to return to Russia to report on his job and deal with the aftermath of that 20 million US Dollars, he'd be in Kamui waiting for Mountain Eagle himself by now.

The last time Mountain Eagle had shown him the Big Russians' network, it was astonishing...

After all, Pulichenko was a gang boss, and he made his interest quite clear; it's just a pity that Broadcast, this country bumpkin, was so fixated on the pimping trade he couldn't see the deeper issues...

Seeing Broadcast looking quite disheartened, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "Buddy, you've got no gang backing; pimping is something you won't be able to scale up.

With plenty of business in Kamui right now, no one is troubling you, but once this trend passes and business moves from growth to competition for the existing market share, how could the local gangs tolerate you stealing their business?"

Broadcast listened and shook his head helplessly, "Why is it so hard every time I try to engage in legitimate business?"

"You call this legitimate business?"

Mountain Eagle was amused by Broadcast's comment and shook his head, "No wonder you're struggling, even having to moonlight as a Mercenary to support your family.

With a brain like yours, you're just not cut for business; whatever you do leads you to lose money!

Just as well pimping doesn't really have overhead costs, at most you're fronting some travel expenses, otherwise, I reckon you might even lose the shirt off your back..."

Upon hearing this, Broadcast said in surprise, "How did you know I'm in debt to the bank?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Broadcast in disbelief, "You're actually in debt?"

Broadcast spread his hands, "Buying plane tickets for the girls cost money. Then there's renting houses and meals—I can't have them sleeping on the street, can I?

Plane tickets and housing for a hundred people—where would I get that kind of money?

I only take a 30% cut, so the girls are willing to work with me. It's only been half a month and I've already recouped my cost."

Mountain Eagle could not help but give this fellow a thumbs-up, saying, "You really are..."

Mountain Eagle wanted to say Broadcast was a 'big sucker', but seeing the guy so satisfied with himself, he ultimately didn't say it out loud.

Managing people is the toughest job in the world, let alone managing a group of women willing to sell their bodies?

Broadcast managed to turn a highly profitable business into something resembling charity work, leaving Mountain Eagle utterly astounded...

Mountain Eagle wanted no part in this sort of business, for it was truly humiliating!

Listening to Broadcast talk about business was a disgrace to the very notion of business acumen!

Looking at Broadcast still beaming with happiness, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Do as you please!

I won't touch that kind of business, and nightclubs are a losing venture anyway; I'd advise you not to either."

After hearing this, Broadcast helplessly sighed, "Alright, I get it!

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a boss.

Do you have any plans now that you're back?

If you're thinking of investing in bars or hostels, could you include me?"

As this guy was still hopelessly fixated on his pimp venture, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "I've got all the lands around Sunset Mountain now...

I plan to partner up with someone to develop a bay resort. The initial investment will probably be around 100 million Thai Baht, are you interested?"

Broadcast had seen Mountain Eagle at his lowest. Now seeing Mountain Eagle casually proposing a business deal in the eight-figure range, he was dumbfounded, "A hundred million?"

Mountain Eagle nodded, "A hundred million is just for the construction of the pure resort. If we include building a wharf, roads, electricity, and various infrastructure, the initial phase might cost about 200 million Thai Baht.

Broadcast boss, if you have the money you can invest a bit. I can't guarantee a profit, but I can certainly ensure you won't lose your principal."

Although Broadcast lacked a serious business mind, he was full of cunning ideas...

He looked at Mountain Eagle's profile and suddenly said, "Are you going to give Big Mouth the construction projects?"

Mountain Eagle heard this and said with a grin, "My house was all handled by Big Mouth. If I have any projects, of course, I'd ask for his help.

In the coming years, Kamui will have a lot of infrastructure projects. Big Mouth can't compete with the big companies, but subcontracting small jobs will be enough for him to make a fortune.

Don't say I don't look out for my friends; this is primo advice. If I were you, I'd invest my money with Big Mouth so he can buy more equipment and such..."

Upon hearing this, Broadcast grabbed Mountain Eagle's shoulders and shook them, exclaiming, "Mountain Eagle, I always knew you were extraordinary..."
