American Tax Officer

Meeting the tax achievement could harm the interests of many Inspectors.

But if David were willing to come to their avenue district, then all would be worth it!

Upon hearing about meeting the tax achievement, David was slightly surprised, yet he quickly returned to normal and refused, "Sorry Brunan Tax Investigator, at this stage I'm not ready to leave the Lake District, maybe we'll talk about it later!"

Developing in the avenue district presents higher prospects, but which is as important as the position of Chief Tax Officer at this stage!

Brunan was stunned. He did not expect that, even after making such an offer, David did not seem the slightest bit tempted.

Yet he did not give up, continuing to lobby: "Inspector David, you have to understand, the development space of our avenue district is far beyond what the Lake District can offer now, and with our avenue district as a springboard, climbing up to Chief Tax Officer, Deputy Tax Inspector, or even Tax Inspector, it's not an impossibility!"

"I understand, Deputy Tax Inspector Brunan, we'll talk about it later!"

Brunan stared hard at David's expressionless face, ultimately sighed helplessly, and said, "Alright, think it over, and call me anytime if you have any thoughts!"

Although he was two ranks higher than David, if David were unwilling to come, he couldn't just force him!

After ending the conversation and walking out of the cafe, Brunan immediately dialed a number: "Keanu, we've got a bit of a problem..."

National Tax Bureau Avenue Sub-bureau Branch.

After hanging up the phone, Keanu's expression was somewhat unpredictable.

It's well-known that their avenue district is the center of Las Vegas – other district Inspectors don't even have the opportunity to transfer over.

And David had just refused!

Moreover, it was after they offered to meet over four hundred thousand in tax achievement!

Damn...

Keanu inwardly cursed, then picked up the phone and called the Section Chiefs one by one to convene an emergency meeting.

The threat from David was too great.

If things continued this way, once this new round of evaluations ended, they feared their avenue district sub-bureau would be embarrassed again.

So he needed to light a fire under these Section Chiefs, to get them to go all out in collecting taxes.

By then, even if they couldn't surpass the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, they couldn't fall too far behind either!

...

Two days later, the underground parking lot of Ward Building.

"Are you confident you can root out those guys?"

During these two days of waiting, the two of them had zero tax achievement logged.

Hence, their ranking on the tax achievement board had fallen from 411 to 501, which filled Nisen with anxiety.

"Don't worry, as long as they come today, I guarantee they won't be able to fly away even if they had wings!"

David confidently replied, then opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the elevator entrance.

The two of them took the lift straight to the 56th floor.

By then, it was evident that the right side was the exhibition hall of the day.

An inspection gate was set up at the entrance of the exhibition hall, and many visitors were undergoing checks by security personnel before streaming in.

"Good day, sir. Do you have an invitation?"

The security personnel politely asked as the two men approached.

David and Nisen each took out their prepared invitations from their pockets, and upon confirming there were no issues, they were allowed in.

As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, they couldn't help but look around.

Clearly, the exhibition hall was meticulously designed, with paintings and colorful tapestries hanging on the walls that complemented the theme of the exhibition, creating an elegant and solemn atmosphere.

Carefully selected lighting equipment not only highlighted the exhibits but also added a comfortable atmosphere to the entire exhibition hall.

Inside the glass display cases of the exhibition hall were various ceramics, paintings, bronzes, jades, and gold and silver items.

Each exhibit seemed to be meticulously maintained, presenting in the most eye-catching condition.

Additionally, the labels on the exhibits detailed their origins and historical background, allowing visitors to understand the value of these treasures more deeply.

"The Scepter of Ramses III, is this damn thing real or fake?"

Nisen was attracted by a scepter in the display case before him, and he exclaimed in surprise after seeing the label description.

As far as he knew, Ramses III was a famous pharaoh of Egypt. What kind of tycoon could own such a collection?

Unlike Nisen, David didn't have the time to care about the collection; his sharp eyes were continually identifying suspicious individuals at the scene.

Today, there were quite a few people viewing the exhibits; a rough count totaled at least a hundred people, and after a good while of looking, David hadn't found anything.

It wasn't until half an hour had passed that a Latin woman appeared in his sight, and he was instantly alert.

"So it's you..."

David's lips curled up slightly as he stared at this Latin woman named Camila.

But he soon realized that although she walked from one display case to another, she was always murmuring to herself.

According to the information from the Golden Finger.

She wasn't working solo, but had four accomplices, and she must be wearing some kind of miniature earpiece now, communicating with her teammates!

David stopped surveilling her and began searching for her accomplices.

This time it went smoothly, and in only about five minutes, he had singled out another switch thief.
