Mountain Eagle himself is a man of action, believing in his strong execution skills...

But what he didn't expect was that Butcher and Pigeon were from the 'Beast Action Faction,' who seemed to not need any thought or preparation at all; they started working as soon as they set down their luggage.

Checking the quantity of materials, looking for a suitable location on the hillside, and then picking up a shovel to clear the shrubbery on the slope, completely disregarding that it was already evening.

Mountain Eagle didn't really understand the excitement of the two Russians. In his view, building a house was a matter that required caution, with site selection, design, construction, and similar tasks needing to be performed in an orderly fashion to ensure desirable results.

But Butcher and Pigeon were entirely different; even Sofia and Daria were the same. The moment they received Mountain Eagle's promise, they sprang into action.

Sofia, who was clearly knowledgeable in science, used several stakes to mark out the foundation area for the cabin, and then with a simple calculation, she determined how many stakes were needed to complete the foundation.

Daria borrowed a computer, began searching for simple yet aesthetically pleasing cabin designs, then printed out the photos and delivered them to Sofia for reference.

Mountain Eagle didn't want to disturb their moods, so he walked into the café and sat down in front of Mr. Poincaré...

Watching the old man prepare an exquisite silver teapot and pour himself a cup of tea, then adding milk and sugar, stirring them in, Mountain Eagle decisively chose to drink plain black tea...

After taking a sip and feeling the rich taste, he commented curiously, "This black tea is pretty good..."

Mr. Poincaré took a sip of his 'milk tea,' gave a slight nod, and said, "It's a black tea produced in the highest altitude region of Sri Lanka, a gift from an old friend of mine."

Sometimes, Mountain Eagle really wanted to ask, where did these old guys get so many old friends from all over the world?

Seeing Mr. Poincaré's leisurely expression, Mountain Eagle nodded with a smile and said, "I've always wanted to visit places like Sri Lanka, I heard the people there are particularly fond of smiling.

I really want to know, facing such poverty, how do they maintain optimism?"

Mr. Poincaré frowned at Mountain Eagle and said, "Sometimes I think your ideas are strange. Haven't you noticed that although you've been in Thailand for a long time, you still don't fit in.

Whether it's fighting traffickers, waging war against terrorists, or even making money, these things always pick up pace because of your involvement.

Mountain Eagle, this is not good; you are a bit too eager!"

Mountain Eagle didn't think there was anything wrong with what Mr. Poincaré said...

He was aware of his own problem or rather, the problem of many people similar to him...

People who grew up in Hua Country, especially those who fought on the frontlines of business, have a very fast pace. As competition intensifies, this pace has gradually evolved into a kind of unreasonable and even inhumane speed.

This kind of speed is represented by Wall Street, followed by Hong Kong Island, island country, Peninsula in the 60s to 80s...

The speed of Wall Street is because finance makes money from money; the more transactions they make, the more money they earn.

Mountain Eagle had come into contact with some Wall Street elites engaged in private equity, trusts, and similar businesses; they may appear prestigious in public, but behind the curtain, they are far less glamorous than outsiders imagine.

Because of the high-pressure work environment, the 24-hour on-call work status, combined with drug abuse, those who can endure in those fields in the long term are basically 'monsters'!

However, this is determined by their job nature; they were prepared the moment they joined, as the salary is definitely substantial.

The fast pace in other places is essentially due to the nature of industrial production, which determines that the faster you move, the more products you produce, and the more profits you make.

However, later on, because of the massive emergence of high-end human resources, industrial technology upgrading, production capacity enhancement; this 'fast pace' was squeezed out of the industrial system and transferred to the product business and service sectors.

But the core idea remains the same: the faster your pace, the more you earn, or you need to be fast enough to survive in a highly competitive social environment!

Nevertheless, this thing is beneficial for the development of a country, but for individuals, it's a vicious cycle.

The larger the population, the less the per capita resource allocation; the more severe the consequences of this vicious cycle are for individuals.

Because resources always aggregate upward, good positions are limited, many people pick up their pace, but they can't achieve the results they want.

When people reach the state where they can't keep up anymore but can't lay back either, they become twisted, then feel oppressed, tired, and unhappy...

To a certain extent, Mountain Eagle is a representative of this 'fast pace'; many times, he unconsciously speeds up things around him, but deep inside, he envies that genuine leisure.

Facing the criticism from Mr. Poincaré, Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I know my problem, but I also know what I need to face.

I'd like to sleep until I wake naturally each day; with the resources and wealth I have accumulated now, as long as I can let go of the world's expectations of me, I can live that kind of life."

Mr. Poincaré frowned at Mountain Eagle and said, "Are you implying that the pension issue of Arctic Fox is pressuring you?

Have you got it wrong?

Arctic Fox's pension 'red child' has nothing to do with you, the money you earn is yours, and no one has the right to make you invest your own money into the Arctic Fox pension.

What Blood Fox and Mi Lu need is someone to take on the complicated managerial issues.

Earning money to maintain the pension is the business of the Arctic Fox Mercenary Group!"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "At the root of it, isn't the Arctic Fox pension issue a matter of money?"

Mr. Poincaré was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a matter of money, but it's not just about money!"

Mountain Eagle, if Arctic Fox is unwilling to withdraw that one hundred million dollars from the trust to give to you, then money should not be your concern.

Money is business, and business is just business, it's unrelated to friendship!"

Mr. Poincaré watched as Mountain Eagle's expression became slightly moved and said with a frown, "Have you forgotten what Blood Fox told you?

He's old, so he can't fly around the world, solving problems for Arctic Fox's descendants and providing them with timely protection.

Many times, old guys like Blood Fox aren't on the same wavelength as Arctic Fox's descendants, and there are some things he can't handle, much less handle well.

You're the one he believes is the best at dealing with problems, he thinks you have the ability to get Arctic Fox out of its current predicament.

He never wanted you to throw your own earned money into it!

Why do you always unconsciously put pressure on yourself and place yourself so high?

Saving Arctic Fox isn't solely your responsibility!"

Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a self-mocking smile, saying, "Where I came from, people generally call this kind of behavior 'the owner's spirit'."

Mr. Poincaré looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes, pondered for a dozen seconds, then shook his head and said, "First of all, you are not the owner, and secondly, you are even less a slave to the task.

First, you have to take good care of yourself, or else how can others trust you to take care of them?"

Speaking of which, Mr. Poincaré pointed at Mountain Eagle's ribs and said sternly, "Have your injuries healed?

Your ankle and knees have been operated on, are they fully recovered?

Mountain Eagle, you need to slow down...

Blood Fox and Mi Lu are hiding in the Golden Triangle, not because they must stay there, but because they don't know how to face you.

You take responsibilities too seriously, which has made both old men feel pressured and has also caused Silver Fox to worry.

What would you first think of when someone steps forward claiming they can take responsibility for your life?"

Mountain Eagle realized, saying, "First off, I'd protect my own pockets and safeguard my principal!"

With that, Mountain Eagle suddenly smiled and said, "Is it that Silver Fox expressed some concern?

He's worried I'd covet their one hundred million principal, am I right?"

Mr. Poincaré nodded with a complicated expression, saying, "We've made a lot of money in the past month...

Blood Fox and Mi Lu wanted to convince Silver Fox to entrust you with managing that one hundred million dollars, but they refused.

Mountain Eagle, those people represented by Silver Fox may seem like they earn their bread with guns, but they are standard conservatives when it comes to business.

The goals you've set for yourself have deviated from what those represented by Silver Fox expect from you!

Sometimes I find their thoughts ludicrous and outdated, but as a person of my age, I understand their concerns and worries.

You can't imagine the sight of two retired old men furiously berating Silver Fox for being conservative..."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle waved his hand with a smile, saying, "You don't need to tell me these things. I took on this responsibility for the sake of old Blood Fox...

He saved my life, gave me new identity and a new life.

I don't care what the others think; I just don't want to see such an old man have any regrets.

I always feel like I'm helping Arctic Fox, and if they don't trust me, I don't mind changing my goal to taming Arctic Fox."

Mountain Eagle spoke with a natural confidence and domineering presence, which was especially persuasive amidst his recent string of achievements...

Mr. Poincaré changed his persuasive tone to one of worry, saying, "What are you planning to do?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and shook his head, replying, "I don't need to do anything to Arctic Fox, I just need to make myself and my team excellent.

To tell you the truth, even though I myself feel like a violence-addict, never have I thought that fighting with guns is some remarkable ability.

Regarding managing finances, all Arctic Fox members combined can't compare to Jon upstairs and you.

Regarding managing people, all Arctic Fox members combined can't match Sofia outside.

Regarding political strategy, the results I've achieved in a few months in Thailand and Russia far exceed what they've all been able to grasp in decades combined.

They have no position to bargain with me..."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, he observed Mr. Poincaré's complex expression and said with a smile, "Sir, could you tell me exactly how much money I've made?

I have a rough estimate in mind. If Jon doesn't meet my expectations, I will consider looking for a more professional team to manage the eighty million dollars in compensation provided by Fayiz."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Poincaré raised a finger...

"Ten million? Impossible, our principal altogether is only about twenty-five million..."
