American Tax Officer

As for the task of tax collection in Hollywood, it was completed for the most part during this time, and it is expected that concrete numbers can be announced to the media before the assessment period ends on May 15.

At six in the evening, as soon as David opened the door and entered the room, a pungent odor hit him, causing him to frown before he went to the kitchen and asked, "Turtle and goji berry soup again?"

"No, today it's Tiger Whip Soup."

Hearing this, David's face was a picture of speechlessness. Over this period, Maggie had been making him some kind of potent soup every other day. If it wasn't turtle and goji berry soup, it was black chicken and goji berry soup, and today she had gone straight for Tiger Whip Soup.

He was young and robust. Who was she looking down on?

Although dissatisfied, David did not complain as he had done before. Instead, he said indifferently, "Suit yourself. Anyway, tomorrow is the day the Sunlight Express returns to Los Angeles. Once you give me the thing, you're free, and you don't have to hole up here anymore."

With that, he went straight back to the living room.

What he didn't know was that, upon hearing his words, Maggie's hand stirring the soup suddenly froze. It was a while before she resumed her movements.

After a satisfying meal and drinks, tonight's Maggie didn't head straight to the point as usual. Instead, she quietly leaned against David's chest, lost in thought.

David seemed to sense her unhappiness and asked, "What's the matter, aren't you happy to be free tomorrow?"

"It's not that. It's just that these past days have been very different from my previous life. Suddenly having to go back to my old ways, it's quite sentimental."

For a spy, such days were indeed completely unexpected. David didn't argue but instead asked, "Have you ever thought about quitting this business?"

"Once you're in this field, a lot of things are beyond your control. As for you, David, you seem to be in charge of the Western Suburb Branch and enjoying all the prestige, but the higher you go, the more perilous the climb becomes. It's lonely at the top!"

Having developed a close relationship, David had shared some of his own difficult situations with her recently—of course, he kept the really secret stuff to himself.

"By the way, about that USB drive. Even though it could help you control many people's fate, you're still not strong enough to expose it prematurely. Otherwise, getting smashed to pieces would be the least of your worries."

"I know that."

Of course, David wasn't foolish enough to immediately use the USB drive with confidential information about Lolita Island to threaten those elites to pay their taxes or to help him fight against Freemasonry.

Before building up his forces in the National Tax Service, Congress, and other departments, he would never let on that he had this item.

After all, the example of Epstein was there for all to see. In such a highly-secured prison, those powerful people could easily make such a widely-known figure 'commit suicide.'

Although he had the National Tax Service as a talisman, if those people found out, who's to say they wouldn't make a desperate move against him?

To climb to a high position in America, the first thing is to make sure your own life is safe!

The following day, at 8 in the morning.

After getting up, the two of them had what might be their final 'goodbye.' Afterward, Maggie began to pack up her belongings.

Half an hour later, having made sure everything was in order, she went to David with a complicated look and said, "I'm ready."

"Then let's go."

Downstairs in the apartment building, a team of Inspectors led by Nisenbaki was already waiting.

An Inspector opened the car door, and after David got in, he asked, "No moves from the CIA, right?"

"They are only busy with the final two spies' work; they don't have time to bother with this anymore. Don't worry boss, everything's under control."

"Good, let's go!"

Union Station, a key landmark and transportation hub in the City of Los Angeles, is also one of the busiest train stations on the American West Coast.

It had been half an hour since David's group arrived here.

After getting off the car and seeing the throng of people, David asked, "Did we position our undercover officers here?"

"I brought in five squads. Even if CIA agents really did barrel in out of nowhere, they definitely wouldn't be able to snatch our item!"

A squad of Inspectors from the Western Suburbs Branch has 20 people, so five squads amount to 100 people. That's why Nisen was so confident.

"Good, let's go in!"

David put on his hat and sunglasses and, escorted by Nisenbaki and others, walked discreetly into the train station, heading to the platform where the Sunlight Express would stop.

At 9:30 sharp, the station's announcement system broadcasted the arrival of the Sunlight Express. Minutes later, accompanied by a loud rumble, the train rolled into the platform.

According to Maggie, the USB drive was hidden inside the ventilation shaft of the restroom in carriage number seven. So, as soon as the train came to a stop, they immediately went into carriage seven and approached the restroom. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"Go in and get it out."

Maggie nodded, entered, and in just a few minutes came back out. She extended her clenched hand toward David.

David immediately took it, and the next second a black USB drive appeared in his palm. He didn't spend more time examining it and quickly pocketed it, saying, "Let's go."
