Mountain Eagle drove to the office at Ao Nan Beach and took a loop around. He soon became restless...

The various bigwigs of Ao Nan swarmed around him like sharks smelling blood, overwhelming him with compliments and attempts to please him.

Moreover, Mr. Poincaré and his colleagues had also vacated the office, as Ao Nan Beach was just too bustling...

With the influx of foreign tourists, the Volunteer Police faced an increasing number of issues, and one trouble followed another. With the office constantly crowded, it was no longer suitable for handling nine-figure transactions.

As soon as Luo Yang and Marta appeared, they were surrounded by tourists...

One said their wallet was stolen and asked for help finding it.

Another said their child was missing and asked them to help call out with a loudspeaker.

What surprised Mountain Eagle was that faced with so many troubles, the partnership of Luo Yang and Marta actually handled things very well...

Because they had recruited a group of island young people with red armbands as volunteers...

These youngsters were the ones who helped Mountain Eagle on the cruise for Little Red Flowers; they were all playing anyway. To get a resume and a medal from the Volunteer Police department, under the leadership of Luo Yang and Marta, they contributed greatly to the cause of Ao Nan Beach.

The young people who could afford to go on cruises, their English was definitely up to par. Adding to the island people's habit of bowing when doing things and their discipline that was at least ten times better than that of the Thais...

When they started working under the lead of Luo Yang and Marta, even Luo Yang the fool and the impulsive sister Marta felt a bit like leaders for a change.

The scene was chaotic. Mountain Eagle really couldn't stand it any longer. He asked about the whereabouts of Mr. Poincaré and his group, then found the annoying Sam...

"What? No, I was ordered to follow you..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the displeased Sam and pulled out a black notebook and shook it, saying, "Do you want to follow it or me?"

With that, Mountain Eagle gestured Sam over and took him up to the office's second floor, then opened a safety deposit box and placed the black notebook inside.

After closing the safety deposit box, Mountain Eagle looked at Sam, whose expression was strange, and said with a smile, "Before the handover of the special warships at Mori, you should stay in the office.

If you'd like, you can also indulge your police fantasy here."

Saying that, Mountain Eagle patted Sam's arm with a smile, saying, "If you think you can steal it, you're welcome to try.

The room is full of surveillance cameras. If you can prove that you took the item, I'll get what I want.

But personally, I suggest you don't do this. Consider it a vacation for yourself...

Listen to me, open your heart and enjoy the natural scenery here. This is much more interesting than watching me all day."

Treating the Seal Six Team like cheap labor made Sam very frustrated. He glared at Mountain Eagle and said in a deep voice, "We're not some goddamn security guards paid 18 bucks an hour..."

Mountain Eagle grinned and replied, "Nor are you bodyguards or clingy bugs, buddy. You know exactly what your task is...

To be honest, if it weren't for the dragging of Mori and his people, I would have handed over that notebook a long time ago.

Your task is to ensure that the notebook doesn't fall into the hands of others, not to keep an eye on me.

So, stay for a while and play. As soon as the ship arrives, you can head to the camp for the life you're familiar with."

With that, Mountain Eagle glanced at a few empty rooms on the second floor, chuckling as he said, "The air conditioning here is strong, definitely better than any hotel you could find.

I'll let you stay for free. If there are problems at the office, lend a hand as you see fit. Fair enough, right?

If you're really uncomfortable, I can also pay you a salary, though it'll be at the local Thai rates...

Using Seal Six Team to do security work is somewhat overqualified. Eight thousand each, that's the top price here in Kamui."

The short and stout Rondo next to him asked, "US Dollars?"

Mountain Eagle couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying disdainfully, "This is Thailand; we don't use US Dollars.

Besides, when you guys fight wars all over, crawling through ice and snow, does your government give you 8000 US Dollars a month?

Giving you 8000 Thai Baht to work and vacation in this sunny and pleasant place, I worry that even your conscience would hurt, and you're talking about US Dollars?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle patted the stunned Sam on the arm and walked towards the stairs, saying, "Do a good job, I have my faith in you..."

Sam watched Mountain Eagle, who didn't fear being struck by lightning for talking nonsense, go downstairs. He and his teammate Rondo exchanged glances, saying, "This is the biggest asshole I've ever met in my life..."

Rondo pursed his lips, looked around, and shrugged, saying, "I think he makes sense. I'd rather stay here and sunbathe than train those rookies back at the camp.

There are more bikinis here than I've ever seen in my life. Maybe I should consider being a swimming coach or a lifeguard."

As he spoke, Rondo moved to the window and looked down at the island youths with red armbands, smacking his lips and saying, "These must be cruise tourists. How did that guy get them to be so obedient?"

"Because working here gets them on TV..."

Faced with the same question from Mountain Eagle, Luo Yang said proudly, "I got to know a cameraman from the Bangkok TV Station; they come to Ao Nan Beach for interviews every day.

I let them enjoy free air conditioning here, and they agreed to give each of the island youths an exclusive interview.

Chief Ke Cha made up dozens of Volunteer certificates and ordered dozens of medals, telling them they would be given out before they leave...

Those guys were thrilled!"

Mountain Eagle couldn't help but give Luo Yang a thumbs up at this point, admiringly saying, "Just do it like that, let Marta ask if there are young people from other countries willing to volunteer. With a bit more competition, they'll be more motivated to work..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang curiously said, "Boss, we have enough people!"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "You don't understand. To really get them fired up, just relying on those intangible, spiritual things isn't enough. You have to fundamentally stimulate their initiative.

The work they've done so far is their sunk cost. With competition introduced, they'll work even harder to ensure their previous efforts weren't wasted!"

Luo Yang didn't quite understand, but he still felt the deep malevolence of his boss...

This honest young Thai hesitated a bit before saying, "Boss, they are volunteers, they don't even want a salary; isn't this a bit too inhumane?"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "It's not me, you're in charge of managing them, so you're their real boss..."

While saying this, Mountain Eagle patted his shoulder and said, "Kid, I have faith in you, you can definitely do it!"

After speaking, Mountain Eagle called for Butcher and Daria to leave the office, avoiding the local bureaucrats' blockade, and drove the pickup truck straight towards Sunset Mountain.

When entering the branch road from the coastal highway, Mountain Eagle saw a row of telephone poles on the side of the road leading to Sunset Mountain, and the previously uneven dirt road had been covered with gravel and flattened by a road roller.

A bit less dust in the air, a bit less bumpy, the road widened just a tad...

Although it was a subtle change, it made about two kilometers of this road feel significantly different.

Mountain Eagle could hardly believe that the Thais could accomplish so much in such a short time...

He only understood when he arrived at the foot of Sunset Mountain and saw a group of illegal Cambodian immigrants leveling the mountain path that Mr. Poincaré must have paid Big Mouth's construction team.

Those Cambodian stowaways varied in skill levels, but their resilience and hard work were definitely sufficient. Digging gravel roads and installing telephone poles, as long as they're willing to exert the effort, efficiency can certainly be ramped up.

Mountain Eagle drove to the long-unused Sunset Cafe...

The cafe was originally designed by a master architect, following an eco-friendly concept. It just hadn't been managed by Mountain Eagle before, so it had been left idle.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Poincaré had chosen this place for the new office!

From a distance, the building of the cafe was quite distinct, but when one walked in and immersed oneself in it, the presence of steel and concrete seemed to naturally disappear. The seats and benches, which looked as though they had grown from the ground, gave the cafe terrace a mystical forest atmosphere.

Seeing Great White Shark Sofia sitting on the terrace of the cafe in a loose, white linen dress, leisurely flipping through a book with a cup of coffee in hand, Mountain Eagle approached with a smile and said, "You seem to like it here..."

Sofia flicked her long hair aside, nodding slightly and saying, "The climate is nice here, the scenery is beautiful, and if there was a good chef to improve the food, this place would be perfect!"

Mountain Eagle rubbed his nose, acknowledging that he took Sofia's suggestion to heart. He glanced at Mr. Poincaré wearing a suit, standing in the cool air-conditioned cafe, unwilling to come out, and said with a smile, "It seems not everyone can adapt to this place...

Now that three more people have come, are there enough rooms upstairs?"

Sofia glanced at Butcher, Pigeon, and Daria, and shook her head, "Not enough. Zorn expanded his studio and installed a lot of servers.

Jon set up an office with a meeting room, adding a few bedrooms, now there's only one empty room left on the second floor."

As she spoke, she glanced at the two triangular villas standing on the hillside behind her and said, "If you really want to accommodate them here, why not build a few more houses on the hillside.

The space on the mountain top has already been planned out, but the hillside land is unused. Building houses there would not obstruct the view from your house, and it would put that useless slope to work.

The wood is readily available, and materials are plentiful. The men over forty from Butcher's hometown all know how to build wooden houses..."

Mountain Eagle kept nodding his head and then looked at Sofia, whose eyes sparkled, and said, "You want a wooden house for yourself too, right?"

Sofia naturally nodded, pointing towards the sea, and said, "The sunset on Sunset Mountain is truly beautiful. Who wouldn't want to own a wooden house here?

If you agree, I'm willing to do it myself!

I won't be living here all the time, but I hope to have a space to myself when I visit."

The two Big Russians, Butcher and Pigeon, clearly loved this place. He nodded and said, "Boss, we can build the houses ourselves!

We can just sleep on the floor in the lounge at night!"

Mountain Eagle nodded in response...

He had plans when he brought Butcher and Pigeon over. The office was now dealing with too much money and couldn't go without armed protection.

Just building houses was nothing; Boss Yue was not short on land!

In fact, he was now a legitimate landowner, owning nearly 50,000 acres of mountainous land around Sunset Mountain, including a distant bay...

Although there were no cultivable fields and the mountains were covered with indigenous trees, which Hua Country person could resist owning land entirely their own?

Seeing the eager expressions on Butcher and the others, Mountain Eagle grandly gestured and said, "Then let's build houses!

The construction team and materials are ready. You guys figure out how to put up some temporary cabins.

After a while, I'll hire someone to plan it out again, to design a few holiday cabins, so you guys can live a bit more comfortably."

After hearing this, Butcher rubbed his hands together and said, "No need, boss, we can do it!

We are all from farms, building a few wooden cabins is too easy with all the materials and tools."

Then Butcher looked towards the distant sea, heaved a comfortable sigh, and said, "Post Box and Pirate would definitely love this place. I'll build their houses in advance for them..."
