Mountain Eagle had no idea what Tessa had been doing in Bangkok that even her mother was starting to get annoyed with her...

Adhering to the principle of keeping one's word, Mountain Eagle made a call to Tessa to have her keep an eye on the matter of buying guns. As for the task of bringing Tessa to Kamui, Mountain Eagle pretended he hadn't heard it.

He wasn't tired of Tessa; rather, he wanted to follow Mr. Poincaré's advice and take some time off.

His rest began with a follow-up visit to the hospital...

Mountain Eagle sought out the largest hospital in Kamui and the best local orthopedic surgeon for consultation and had an MRI done on his knee and ankle.

The prognosis wasn't too optimistic!

Due to the unsatisfactory progress in post-operative rehabilitation, there was some inflammation in the knee and ankle, and there was also water accumulation in the knee.

The doctor reviewed Mountain Eagle's surgical report and asked in detail about his rehabilitation in the past few months. Hearing that Mountain Eagle had only rested for a month and a half before returning to his normal work, the doctor was incredibly surprised.

The surprise lay in the fact that Mountain Eagle had been able to endure and, more importantly, his leg injuries had not worsened as a result.

Since everyone knew what kind of work Officer Yue Shan was involved in, being a police officer - especially one who needed to risk his life at any moment - was deadly for a body that hadn't fully recovered, as opposed to those who worked in an office.

It was like an athlete playing with an injury; if there were no issues, all was well, but any problem could be a big deal.

It was only after listening to the doctor's explanation that Mountain Eagle understood that while the exoskeleton added protection to his legs, it also had a certain deceptive quality.

Whenever his right leg felt excessive pressure, the exoskeleton would act as a support device, alleviating the pressure and even giving him the illusion that he was fine.

If this continued for a long time, he would experience unevenness in his legs during normal activities.

The treatment was simple; since the previous surgery was successful, what remained was rest, coupled with limited exercise rehabilitation and regular massage therapy. In about one or two months, he would be fully recovered.

However, Mountain Eagle was now a big shot in Kamui and was in control of a huge sum of money. The hospital also needed funds to maintain its operations.

To build a good relationship with Mountain Eagle, who could decide the direction of the substantial amount of money, Kamui Hospital specially organized a rehabilitation team, which included rehabilitation physicians, nurses, and massage therapists, wishing to follow Mountain Eagle's condition in the long term and provide technical guidance during his rehabilitation.

Mountain Eagle was absolutely open to advice in areas he was not familiar with.

When the rehabilitation physician said it was best to walk with crutches, he bought a cane.

Even if there were better exoskeletons available, he wouldn't use them anymore, as those things would make him overlook his injuries and were seriously deceptive.

The rehabilitation physician said the best exercise for him would be in the water, so he called Big Mouth, who was extremely busy, to arrange for someone to dig a swimming pool on top of his Mountain.

The rehabilitation physician said he needed a leg massage every other day and also needed to apply medicine; he built a covered gazebo in his backyard and honestly received treatment there.

Mr. Poincaré watched Mountain Eagle's series of actions and wanted to remind him several times that this extremely disciplined approach actually signified that he hadn't mentally relaxed.

Once he was in the zone, rehabilitation seemed to become another job.

He would wake up at 6 in the morning, swim 2000 meters in the pool, then have breakfast. After breakfast, he would take a walk with his crutches around the area, walk the dog, and build rapport and understanding with Balang.

After the fixed routine, he would drive to Ao Nan Beach to supervise Luo Yang and Marta at work and casually communicate with the locals.

After lunch, he drove back to Sunset Mountain, swam another 1000 meters, and then received physical therapy before sitting in Jon's operation room.

Most of the time, he just watched without speaking. Occasionally, he asked questions or provided suggestions when Jon was free, and wouldn't get angry even if his ideas were rejected...

Mountain Eagle, in this state, was like a dry sponge. In a short amount of time, not only did he gain an in-depth understanding of futures trading and financial issues, but most importantly, his Thai proficiency improved by leaps and bounds.

And that was only the part Mr. Poincaré saw. Mountain Eagle was also doing some things that went unseen...

Although it seemed his leg was crippled, in reality, his workload had increased significantly.

This was something only Great White Shark Sophia, who was temporarily acting as his assistant, knew very well...

Sophia had always thought of herself as a workaholic, but it was only after working with Mountain Eagle for a while that she realized what she had previously considered high-intensity work was nothing.

Efficient communication, quick decisions, filing reports, initiating projects, issuing tenders...

In just under ten days, Mountain Eagle had negotiated six important road infrastructure and school improvement projects with the local government and congressmen of Kamui in the Ao Nan office.

The total cost wasn't high, but many departments were involved, requiring extensive communication.

There was not only the need to accomplish construction goals but also to accommodate some demands of the local officials.

Three-hour meetings every day, endless wrangling and negotiating, endlessly overthrowing and rebuilding, as well as communicating and exchanging ideas.

It wasn't until the six projects were essentially finalized that Sophia realized this was just the beginning...

These patchwork projects were just the start of Mountain Eagle's acclimatization with the local government...

The 80 million-dollar construction fund was managed by multiple parties. Mountain Eagle could indeed control the flow of funds, but how to use it ultimately required negotiations with numerous parties.

Through intense communication and meetings, Mountain Eagle wore out the locals of Kamui.

At the same time, Mountain Eagle unconsciously delineated their scopes of authority for them, deliberately complicated the fund's usage procedures, and established a bottom-up approval mechanism.

Adding to the Thais' own procrastinating nature and slow efficiency, internal divisions arose among them without Mountain Eagle even lifting a finger.

Because for the same matter, there are always those who are anxious and those who do not care. When processes are detailed and authority is delegated to each individual, it becomes very difficult for things to get done.

This happens because almost every person who gains authority can't help but push it to the limit.

The only solution to this situation is to push from the top down!

Only Mountain Eagle, the manager of funds, can easily straighten out all relationships and ensure the efficiency of the project's progress.

So when locals find it very difficult to follow procedures, power naturally tends to converge in Mountain Eagle's hands.

Mountain Eagle doesn't need to do anything extra because everyone wants a shortcut, and he is the shortcut!

When someone wants to bypass the long approval system and have Mountain Eagle break the rules, they need to give something in return.

Mountain Eagle doesn't need to play dirty, so what those seeking shortcuts give might be a favor, a promise, or a vote for him on some proposal.

It won't take long, maybe a year, maybe two, for Mountain Eagle to build a political network that covers the local area by leveraging the 80 million US Dollars and producing good deeds.

Capital-driven politics sound complex, but in reality, the content frequently varies only in form—small scale in Kamui and essentially not much different in Bangkok, except with more interest groups involved, making it seem very complicated.

And people like Mountain Eagle, who emerged from the demon's nest, are actually quite adept at this.

Of course, the energy of Kamui's political network cannot compare to that of the Pasok family, but since the day Mountain Eagle arrived in Kamui, he has been trying to build a comfort zone.

This is a necessary process!

Becoming a Volunteer Police was just the beginning. By rescuing cruises, he delivered a substantial amount of benefits to Kamui and truly gained recognition from most locals, becoming a local heavyweight.

Now he's using Fayiz's 80 million to become the leader of the local heavyweights in Kamui.

No need to intentionally antagonize anyone, just being able to provide protection when necessary is enough!

As an assistant, Sofia witnessed everything her boss did over the past ten days...

When Mr. Poincaré reminded her from the sidelines to pay attention to Mountain Eagle's mental condition...

This strong woman, hailing from Russia, showed Mr. Poincaré her recent meeting notes, then said with a wry smile, "Sir, I thought buying over twenty gas stations in a short time was quite remarkable.

But do you know? Our boss has done in the past ten days what those people in Kamui couldn't achieve in a year.

Of course, he's in control of the funds, so whatever he does is relatively simple, but that's just relatively speaking.

I've also just realized that the boss is quickly building his comfort zone.

He seems particularly anxious, as if there are many things waiting for him to handle...

If you let him relax completely, who will do these things?

I can't do it!

My responsibility is to maintain interpersonal relationships within this comfort zone once it's formed.

Six small projects worth only 800 thousand dollars are going to incur nearly 400 thousand in administrative expenses, and there may be all sorts of strange additional costs if the contractors are not well chosen.

The boss asked me to keep an eye on the progress of these projects, and I've been losing hair over the past two days.

When illegal methods cannot be used, the greed of those guys gives me a headache.

I want to persuade him more than anyone else, but if he relaxes, no one can take his place."

Seeing Sofia, who is usually impassive, so concerned, Mr. Poincaré glanced at Butcher and Pigeon busily building a house on the hillside and the Daria sisters sunbathing in bikinis...

Then he looked at Mountain Eagle, who was walking slowly along the ridge with a cane, training Balang...

The elderly man sighed and said, "It's time to think of a solution, or Mountain Eagle's going to work himself to death.

The Arctic Fox team are just a bunch of fools who only know how to shoot; I have to think of other ways."

Sofia nodded empathetically and said, "We indeed need to recruit more people...

Jon spends all day in the trading room, and Zorn the hacker only faces his computer.

We need a team; otherwise, it's not certain if the boss will be okay, but I definitely can't last very long.

We need young people who are familiar with local customs, but I'm really not familiar enough with Thailand..."

As Sofia was speaking, an SUV with a cargo truck climbed up the hill...

Watching Tessa jump out of the car in her police uniform, Mr. Poincaré was taken aback, then suddenly smiled and said, "Make a list with clear requirements, and I'll figure out how to recruit.

Tessa is here; this girl has a warm heart...

Maybe she can't help Mountain Eagle push forward with work, but helping him reduce his own workload should be easy enough."
