American Tax Officer

It seemed that Arthur's concerns were clear, and the Jewish man who had proposed the idea spoke again, "Don't worry, Arthur, I'll make a call to Governor Bogwana and explain the serious implications. I believe he will provide protection for you!" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Very well, Hanson Elton, then I thank you in advance."

Arthur was aware that this man had a deep relationship with Governor Bogwana. If he were to speak on Arthur's behalf, there might indeed be hope.

The capital city of California is Sacramento, and at this moment, inside the Governor's Mansion located in the city center, a man in his fifties with a square face put down the phone and fell into deep thought.

He was the current Governor of California, known as the "little president" of America, Governor Bogwana.

After contemplating for a while, he called in his secretary Winiford and said to him, "Winiford, I just got a call from Hanson Elton, it's about the Sackler family..."

Once Winiford heard everything, he too slightly furrowed his brow and said, "The Sackler family's matter has been making quite a stir these past few days. It's said that David is already gathering evidence to take action against them, and they have reason to be afraid. However... the family has such a bad reputation, if we were to offer them protection, this could very well cost you, Governor, a significant amount of public support."

"Of course, I am aware of this. Those people think that if David were to take action against this family, they could be next, which is why they are so afraid. Moreover, if we ignore this matter now, it will certainly displease these people, which may also lead to a massive outflow of assets and businesses."

One reason why California could become the most economically powerful state in America was due to many Jewish people operating their businesses and holding their assets here.

Once David is done dealing with the Sackler family, those Jewish people would definitely feel that their assets are threatened and consider relocating them.

As the Governor of California, if the state's assets were to be transferred elsewhere, causing economic turbulence, he would certainly be held responsible. This was his greatest concern at the moment.

"Asset outflow is indeed serious, but now David has made it clear that he intends to deal with this family. If we interfere, it might cause a conflict with him. It's said that Nevada State's Governor Stevenson was brought down by this man, so we must proceed with caution..."

Listening to Winiford's caution, Bogwana's expression grew more solemn, but it quickly turned into disdain.

Stevenson is Stevenson, he is he; he didn't believe that he, as America's foremost Governor, could fall into such a plight!

Moreover, he had one advantage over Stevenson; he was a bona fide member of the Freemasonry!

Thinking this, he spoke with a determined tone, "Regardless, in order to stabilize that group of people, the Sackler family must not encounter any problems for now. So, first arrange the itinerary for me. We will make a trip to the Second Official Residence in Los Angeles. Also, have the Sackler family stay there for the time being, and finally summon Los Angeles Police Department Chief Hankerson to meet me."

"Understood, Governor," Winiford replied.

Seeing the firmness in Bogwana's stance, Winiford knew it was not his place to caution further and turned to carry out the instructions.

...

Sacramento is not far from Los Angeles; it was just an afternoon's journey, and Bogwana arrived at the official residence on the Schuylkill Riverbank.

To be precise, this was his second official residence.

Although the capital of California is Sacramento, Los Angeles, as the most important city in California, required the frequent presence of the Governor to handle administrative duties. Therefore, the existence of a second official residence was essential.

"Governor Bogwana, we are deeply grateful for everything you've done for us. The Sackler family will forever remember your kindness!"

The members of the Sackler family, who had been notified early, had already arrived. Seeing Bogwana's arrival, Arthur approached him with a smile as if greeting a beloved father.

"We are all family here, no need for such formalities. How do you find the environment of my second official residence? Do you need anything else to be arranged?"

"No, it's quite nice here!"

Arthur was already more than satisfied with such a safe haven, now that David was on the warpath. How could he dare ask for more?

"Governor, Bureau Chief Hankerson has arrived," said Winiford as he approached during the conversation.

Arthur and the others, showing acumen, said they would step aside to acquaint themselves with the surroundings for a while.

Outside, a black Chevrolet sedan arrived at the entrance.

The car door opened, and Hankerson, the Los Angeles Police Department Chief, stepped out, looking at the security personnel brought by the Governor and feeling a premonition of ill fortune.

After going through a sequence of checks, Hankerson entered the hall with a stern face.

"Chief Hankerson, welcome," said Bogwana.

"Hello, Governor," Hankerson greeted.

After a handshake and exchange of greetings, they sat down on the couch.

Bogwana was the first to speak. "Chief Hankerson, I need to handle some official business in Los Angeles over the next few days. My people have received intelligence about potential terrorist attacks on me. The reason I've asked you to come is quite straightforward; I hope you can deploy some police officers to set up defenses around my external area. That's all there is to it."
