American Tax Officer

"Wait..."

Winiford immediately interrupted, and then said, "Governor, David is the kind of guy who won't rest until he achieves his goal. If you don't see him, he might stir up more trouble elsewhere. It might be better to meet with him and give him a warning face to face."

After thinking it over, Governor Bogwana also felt it made sense and then said to the soldiers, "Then bring him in, tell him to wait for me in the living room."

Before long, David was brought into the living room.

A few minutes later, the figures of Governor Bogwana and Winiford appeared.

"Director David, what kind of wind blew you this way?"

Although Bogwana was not pleased with David, naturally, he wouldn't show a displeased face when meeting him in person; this was a basic attribute of a politician.

"Governor Bogwana, I heard some 'guests' have taken up residence at your mansion. Is there any truth to this?" Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

"Yes, there are some guests. Is there a problem?"

"I need to remind you, your 'guests' are suspected of tax-related crimes and are already on the Los Angeles City Bureau's wanted list. If they are here, please have them come with us."

David got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

However, these straightforward words instantly enraged Bogwana, who said in a cold voice, "Director David, as you said, these people are my guests. Do you really think I'd let you just take them away?"

"So this means... Governor Bogwana, you intend to cover for these people?"

"Cover for them?"

Bogwana stared hard at David and said, "David, make it clear, according to American law, no one is a criminal until they have been tried. So then, what's this about covering for them?"

"Governor Bogwana, bringing up these things is pointless, our bureau has already gathered all the evidence of the Sackler family's crimes. The people from this family must come with us!"

"What if I say they are not here, that they have already left?"

"Then let my people search the place. If indeed they have left, I will naturally offer my apologies to you, Governor..."

"My mansion is not a place you can just search as you please."

"Governor Bogwana, I respect you and do not want any unpleasantness, just hand them over to me, and I will be on my way. As you know, the entire country is watching this issue, I cannot simply back down!"

With this, David laid his cards on the table.

He knew Bogwana had significant clout and that he was a member of Freemasonry, but there was no choice; Huggins' murder had forced his hand, and he had to ensure the Sackler family was punished.

If he were to back down at this moment, his reputation would plummet, and his political career would be at risk of hearing its death knell.

Therefore, even if it meant conflict with Bogwana, it was a risk worth taking.

"Heh heh."

Bogwana seemed to be laughed to anger, saying, "Young man, you do not know the severity of the situation. Do you realize that even Director Obadiah would not dare talk to me with that tone here?"

"Too bad he's not here today."

"You can see yourself out!"

With that, Bogwana issued an order to expel him.

David frowned, then said, "Governor Bogwana, if you do not hand them over, I will have no choice but to take offense."

"Take offense?"

Bogwana looked around at his own National Guard security and then at the few men David had brought with him, a look of disdain appearing in his eyes.

David didn't say anymore, turning around and walking out. When he reached the door, he pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said two words, "Action."

Meanwhile, at the San Diego IRS Armed Base.

Large groups of armed members jumped into Apaches, Black Hawks, and M1 series armored vehicles, and then drove out in a grand procession.

"Oh my God... what's happening, why are so many helicopters being deployed?"

"That's... a Black Hawk helicopter, an Apache Armed Helicopter, something big must be happening."

"Wait... those don't look like military personnel. Look at the insignia; that's the National Tax Bureau Armed Forces mobilizing!"

"The National Tax Bureau Armed Forces? Are they going to arrest the Sackler family? But surely, however powerful that family could be, such a massive armed force wouldn't need to deploy, right?"

With such a considerable force and equipment moving out, it was impossible to hide from the public. Spectators along the way were astounded upon witnessing the scene, expressing their wonder and speculations.

And when they saw the National Tax Bureau insignia on the armor and helicopters, a thought suddenly struck everyone's mind.

Could this be related to the Sackler family, which has been in the news lately?

Quite likely!

After all, the Los Angeles IRS had been investigating the Sackler family for days, and to date, there has been no announcement of the family's arrest or otherwise.

Now that this large force was mobilized, it's hard to say it wasn't related to the Sackler family!

In today's age of information, the visibility of National Tax Bureau Armed Forces could not escape notice, and footage shot by the spectators along the way quickly made it to the internet, causing a stir on major social media platforms.

Due to the pressures exerted by Governor Bogwana and Jewish People's Groups over the past few days, the media had barely reported on the Sackler family's matter.

But now that the National Tax Bureau Armed Forces had appeared on the scene, making such a splash, the media could no longer turn a blind eye, and they too headed to the scene to report on the situation.
