CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 348: OUT TO SEA

Chakdi was an excellent boatman...

The speedboat that Taigore gave to Mountain Eagle was a modified military speedboat, and many of its equipment had not been removed.

However, Chakdi quickly got the hang of it. Not only was he able to skillfully pilot the speedboat, but after fiddling around for a while, he easily mastered the use of the not-so-advanced nautical electronics.

Under Chakdi’s control, the speedboat traveled both steadily and swiftly, and the old fisherman knew exactly where the clear waters were. In just an hour, they arrived near an undeveloped small island.

Mountain Eagle carried a sunshade out of the fully enclosed cabin, fixed it at the bow, and looking at the tranquil and crystal-clear waters around him, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Marta, who had been given special permission to join in on the fun today after being slighted, had by now somewhat forgotten her earlier vexation. She changed into a swimsuit and, carrying a variety of snacks big and small, giggled and frolicked with the energetic Chami at the bow...

The Daria sisters took out several rolls of thermal yoga mats and spread them on the deck at the bow. They then took out some sunscreen and enthusiastically invited Boss Eagle to help them apply it.

After he declined, they didn’t feel awkward. They took off the light sarongs they were wearing and pulled Marta and Chakdi’s wife to help each other with the sunscreen.

Chakdi’s wife was not accustomed to the enthusiastic attitudes of the Daria sisters, and knowing her husband was rather conservative, she had no intention of putting on a swimsuit to enter the water. Instead, she played the role of a server - applying sunscreen to the girls, peeling fruits, sorting out ice cubes, and fetching beers...

When Mountain Eagle saw Chakdi come out of the cabin, he provocatively raised his eyebrows at Chami beside him, then put on his snorkeling goggles, twisted his body, and backflipped into the water...

The moment he entered the water, Mountain Eagle heard a splash next to him...

He twisted his body in the water, circled around the two children who had jumped in to make sure they were excellent swimmers and that someone was watching from the boat. Then, he took a half-breath through his nose and dove under...

The spot chosen by Chakdi had exceptionally clear water, and from above, one could see the corals and schools of fish at the bottom of the sea...

But it was only by diving down that one would realize these corals were at a depth close to about 5 meters.

Mountain Eagle was an all-around warrior with excellent physical fitness. Although his diving ability might not compare to professional groups like the Bajao people, it was certainly top-notch among soldiers.

Swimming among the seemingly fearless colorful fish, Mountain Eagle moved alongside the undulating colorful corals, searching, and quickly found a large conch...

Mountain Eagle’s son loved conchs the most. He still remembered buying a Yiwu-made small conch for his son in Hainan...

At that time, the then three-year-old son held onto it all day long and would burst into silly laughter like he had won a prize whenever he blew into the conch and made a sound.

Grabbing the conch firmly, Mountain Eagle surfaced and swam to the speedboat, handing the large conch to Chakdi before saying, "Clean this up a bit, I want to take this conch back."

After hearing him, Chakdi nodded slightly, took out a small knife to pick out the meat of the conch, then after carefully wiping it with a towel, he wrapped the conch and set it aside...

Then, he cut the fist-sized conch meat into small bean-sized bits and vigorously tossed them into the sea.

Soon, schools of fish gathered around the bits of conch meat, greedily devouring the tiny morsels.

Chami, wearing a simple pair of briefs, took a spear and tied a stretchy rubber band to his wrist before swiftly diving into the water.

Chami’s younger sister paddled with her limbs, occasionally dipping her head underwater to glimpse her brother’s fishing prowess...

The chubby little girl, like a small turtle, without any aids, was effortlessly floating on the surface of the water, her swimming ability stronger than many adults’.

When Chami emerged with the spear, the little sister let out an excited cheer and then swam over to her brother, limbs all moving in unison.

Chami handed his sister a bleeding grouper, asking her to grip the gills as a sign of their shared harvest.

The delighted little sister handled the situation well; she clung to the belly of the fish to avoid the spines and kicked the water hard, swimming to their father below, and joyfully called out, "Daddy, look at the big fish brother caught..."

Chakdi, who was not talkative, lay on the speedboat, rubbed his daughter’s head, then scooped up the grouper and said to Mountain Eagle, "Boss, there’s ice on the speedboat; we can take the fish back."

Mountain Eagle couldn’t resist tickling the adorable little sister, making her giggle ’hee hee’, then looked at Chakdi and said, "You handle it. Do we have a fishing spear? I’m going to go down and check for bigger fish..."

Right when Chakdi returned to the cabin to look for fishing spears, Daria waved at Mountain Eagle and called out, "Boss, Anna called you twice just now. Do you want to call her back..."

Mountain Eagle frowned and gestured, "Didn’t expect the first person to call me would be Anna. That guy named Philip Royce, isn’t he some rich kid from the Deutschland Consortium?"

Daria giggled up to the edge of the speedboat and slipped into the water like a mermaid, then clung to Mountain Eagle’s shoulder as if she wasn’t a good swimmer, rubbing her body against him with laughter...

"I chatted with the female companion of Philip Royce earlier along with Yuliy, that guy is the son of a banker from Eastern Germany.

But this fellow, uneducated, joined an organization called ’Imperial Citizens’ and rallied a bunch of extremists to form a gang, making profit through drug trafficking and arranging for Eastern European women to prostitute themselves.

Those two girls are models from Ukraine, they signed with the wrong German agency, accompanying that guy on his trip was also against their will."

Mountain Eagle frowned upon hearing this: "Did they mention what Philip Royce is doing in Kamui?"

Daria, still laughing, clung to Mountain Eagle’s back and said, "Clearly, Miss Anna has more than one deal with German consortiums. That guy is representing his father to attend negotiation bidding.

But I reckon his achievements can’t be much, otherwise he wouldn’t have the leisure to hang around.

The yacht rented by Miss Anna, it’s way more fun than Ao Nan Beach."

Mountain Eagle didn’t know that Philip Royce was instigated to come looking for trouble. These second-generation rich with a gang background, and fathers with extensive clout, can really court all sorts of disaster.

Now that Mountain Eagle understood this guy’s identity, he was even less eager. He smiled and pushed away Daria, who was always attempting to start something with him, and said, "Turn off your phone, we’ll talk after we get back."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at Daria’s body, which was enough to provoke fantasies, smiled as he put on his diving glasses, and dived into the sea again.

...

Meanwhile, while Mountain Eagle and the others were enjoying themselves, several lawyers still dressed in suits despite the intense heat, led by the bitter-faced official head of the Ao Nan Tourist Police Station Chief Chakdi, arrived at the Volunteer Police Station...

A white lawyer didn’t wait for Chief Chakdi to negotiate and barged into the courtyard, knocking on the office door forcefully...

To his surprise, the door was opened by two fully armed American soldiers.

This situation startled the white lawyer a bit, but this legal expert was not afraid of the American warriors. The heat from the house forced him to step back, then he said to Sam and Rondo: "Sir, please step aside, I need to go in and see my client, Mr. Philip Royce.

He is unlawfully detained inside..."

Sam exuded the imposing presence of an American soldier, gripping the handle of his HK416 rifle with his left hand, stepped forward, and forced the lawyer back down the steps, then looked down upon the crowd squeezing into the courtyard...

"The office contains important property belonging to the United States Government. No one is allowed to enter without authorization."

Upon hearing this, the white lawyer incredulously said, "This is a Volunteer Police station..."

Sam waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is the Volunteer Police station storing important assets of the United States. I don’t know who you are, but if you want to go in, you need authorization."

The white lawyer, looking astonished at Sam’s serious demeanor, said, "Whose authorization do I need?

As a lawyer, I want to enter a police station, whose authorization do I need?"

Sam, with a stern face, firmly said, "The United States Department of State, the United States Department of Homeland Security, or the owner of this police station..."

The white lawyer seemed to find something extraordinarily funny, turned, and pointing at Chief Chakdi, said, "This is Thailand, a police station is a public service department, this place is open to the public, when did it become private property?

This is the head of the Ao Nan Tourist Police Station, Mr. Chief Chakdi. The Volunteer Tourism Police should be under his management. Do you need him to explain the situation for you?"

Chief Chakdi felt terribly unlucky to be assigned such a task, and upon hearing the white lawyer wanting him to take charge, he waved his hands and said, "Sir, you’re mistaken, the Volunteer Tourism Police are on a contractual basis, this building indeed belongs to the current Director Yue Shan’s private property.

I don’t know what happened or who is being held inside, and all I know is that Director Yue Shan has enforcement authority over all foreigners.

I don’t know if there’s a misunderstanding between you, but rest assured, Director Yue Shan is Kamui’s heroic police officer, he wouldn’t do anything excessive."

Chief Chakdi glanced at Sam and Rondo guarding the door, then smiled at the white lawyer, saying, "You might want to find a place to rest, I’ll call Director Yue Shan.

I heard he went out to sea, but he will return before it gets dark, then you can have a talk with him.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding..."

Seeing the attitude of Chief Chakdi, and the teasing expressions on both Sam and Rondo, even if the white lawyer was oblivious, at this moment he realized his client had indeed run into a dead end...
