American Tax Officer

The next morning, David and his group set off on their journey to Elko City.

Elko City is the largest city between Salt Lake City and Reno. The city's economy primarily relies on gold mining, livestock, and tourism, encompassing an area of approximately 14.5 square miles and housing a population of 60,732.

"What's going on, how did he just bring in another 10 million?"

An hour and a half later, as David's party was nearing the local sub-bureau, Bucky's voice from the back seat suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Aside from Nisen, who was driving, Simmons and David both turned to look, only to see Bucky's phone displaying the tax achievement rankings, with Brown Soros ranked second and showing a new income of 10 million, bringing his total tax achievements to 115 million, only 10 million behind frontrunner David.

"Fuck, he's definitely cheating!"

"He hasn't had such a large sum come in for several days, and now he has brought in 10 million yesterday and another 10 million today, this is undoubtedly foul play!"

Bucky and Simmons both spoke out in accusation.

However, David remained largely expressionless. Donald had already promised him yesterday that if Brown Soros were indeed cheating, there would definitely be a thorough investigation.

So, even if the other party was cheating, they probably wouldn't dare to overdo it.

Now, the other party has brought in an income of 20 million from yesterday to today. Even if they bring in another 20 million, it will only be 135 million in total.

As long as he deals with this case involving the GCO Prison in Elko City, he's certain of at least 30-40 million.

If that's not enough, then he could focus on the third and fourth GCO Prisons in Nevada State. He doesn't believe that if Brown Soros really relied on some fraudulent means, he could outplay him!

Amid these thoughts, the vehicle had entered Elko City, and it wasn't long before they arrived at the entrance of the Gold Mine District Sub-bureau Branch.

Before coming, David had already called the director of this branch, so at this moment, the director, deputy director, and a group of Tax Investigators were all awaiting him at the entrance.

Upon seeing his arrival, Director Emma greeted him with a smile more cordial than one would bestow upon their own mother and extended her right hand, "Director David, welcome to Elko City."

"Hello Director Emma."

David also reached out and shook her hand.

"Oh right, this is our deputy director..."

In the following time, Emma introduced David to the higher-ups of the bureau one by one.

After the higher-ups briefly shook hands with David, they examined him with a range of complex looks—respect, curiosity, envy, and even jealousy.

With only two days left in the assessment period, David, with a total tax achievement of 125 million, is firmly occupying the top rank and is highly likely to be the chosen one in the "Make a God" project.

Being selected would mean a transfer to Los Angeles to serve as the branch director, an improvement that could truly be described as a skyward leap.

And to think that just over two months ago, David was still an ordinary Inspector in the tax bureau, and now, in a little over two months, he would be taking up the position of director in Los Angeles.

How could this not fill the hearts of those in the Gold Mine District Sub-bureau Branch with mixed feelings, inspiring a sense that comparisons really could be odious.

"Director David, let's go in and talk."

Emma led David inside the bureau, and they headed to her office. Once seated, she began, "Director David, what's this case you mentioned?"

Before arriving, David had already informed her over the phone that he wasn't here to work on a case in collaboration with their branch, but on a different case altogether, so she was somewhat puzzled now.

"The GCO Prison case, has your branch investigated it?"

"GCO Prison?"

Emma pondered carefully—they did indeed have such a prison within their jurisdiction, but prisons are not like criminal organizations, and he hadn't looked into it closely.

Then he shook his head and said, "What's up with the prison?"

"According to my investigation, there are a large number of illegal transactions taking place within the prison, so that's why I've come to your city today."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Emma looked rather surprised. He wasn't shocked that there were illegal activities in the prison; what surprised him was that since David had personally come all the way here, the involved sums must not be trivial, so why hadn't anyone in their bureau taken it seriously?

What the hell are these bastards doing!

"It looks like this case has not been previously investigated by your branch, Director Emma, but that's okay, I've already investigated it thoroughly. However, regarding the revenue sharing... I can only offer your branch twenty percent."

The situation with the Gold Mine District Sub-bureau Branch was different from the Sand Bay Branch.

The Sand Bay Branch had earnestly investigated GCO Prison, and they had invited David to look into the case, so it was proper that they previously received forty percent according to the agreement; the additional ten percent was simply Director Saxton being accommodating.

Now, since the Gold Mine District Sub-bureau Branch hadn't thoroughly investigated the GCO Prison in their jurisdiction, offering them twenty percent as jurisdiction fees was quite reasonable.

"Twenty percent..."

Emma's face showed a bitter smile, clearly not very satisfied with the amount.

"Don't consider it too little, Director Emma. Do you know where my income of 56 million yesterday came from?"

At those words, Emma's expression changed, and she asked tentatively, "It wouldn't have come from the GCO Prison, would it?"
