American Tax Officer

of the 19 million, he had to take at least about 2 million or so and distribute it among the heads of the 10 inspection teams in the bureau.

Truth be told, it was quite painful for him to take out 2 million.

But first, let's not talk about the seven teams that had joined later to catch the tail end of autumn, his own team and the teams led by Hutton and Hector had made significant efforts.

Now, with the taxes amounting to over 19 million, if he were to give just 30-50 thousand or even 100-80 thousand, it would seem a bit selfish, not to mention petty.

So his thought was to give each of the three inspection teams 400 thousand, with the remaining 800 thousand to be divided among the seven teams that had joined later.

In this way, the taxes he would take would be around 17 million.

With the current 4.368 million, that would be over 21 million in tax achievements.

If there were no accidents, these tax achievements were enough to let him make a comeback to the top 10 of the leaderboard, and given the current situation, it was even very likely that he could enter the top 5!

Of course, this had to be done quickly!

Those guys in the top 10 of the leaderboard these days, their tax achievements might not be rocketing up, but the pace was still incredibly fast.

He only had to resolve this case quickly, to promptly record the funds from the Ditter case, so he could give the higher-ups at headquarters another impression just like last time when he rocketed into the national top 10!

While pondering this, David's brows furrowed slightly.

Baldwin's three bigwigs, he had no idea where they had hidden themselves, capable of not showing any trace for three days under the full force search of all the inspectors in the Lake District and the system...

As he was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Bucky walked in, looking troubled, and said, "According to the intelligence we have, these three couldn't have managed to flee Las Vegas in time, but we've turned their residences and frequent haunts upside down and still can't find any trace of them... It's really getting tricky..."

Hearing this, David's mood grew heavier.

Bucky then changed the subject, "Since this guy is hiding so well, Chief Tax Officer, then I think we should stop spending effort on searching for them and just go after Ditter instead..."

Obviously, he didn't want to drag things on either.

Now that they had Sapir and Iman as two important hostages and had confiscated contraband and cash as evidence, he felt it was enough to take down Ditter.

David shook his head and replied, "The current evidence is enough to bring Ditter down, but one thing we must be fully prepared for is whether the Native Americans will hand someone over!"

Upon hearing this, Bucky also snapped back to reality.

Yes, although they had ironclad evidence of Ditter's various crimes, Ditter was, after all, on a reservation now.

Would those Native Americans so easily hand someone over?

According to the current information from various sources, it obviously seemed unlikely!

David continued, "If those Native Americans refuse to surrender him, then we'll have to apply for armed forces support.

"But you know, although we the National Tax Bureau have armed forces, they cannot be deployed whenever we want, as it requires very rigorous review and procedures."

"Only by catching the three bigwigs and forcing them to testify against Ditter, as well as to provide more incriminating evidence against the Ditter Group, will we have a complete chain of evidence for the case.

"Then the approval process on the state bureau's side can proceed quickly!"

With this explanation, Bucky finally understood and wasted no more words, leaving at once to continue the search for the three bigwigs.

Two hours later, at the National Tax Bureau Avenue Sub-bureau Branch.

Director Katharine was dealing with official business in her office when suddenly the door was knocked on, and without looking up, she said, "Come in."

The next second, Keanu entered, very excited, "Director, our sixth team just went out on a task, and guess what person they caught?"

Upon hearing this, Katharine also became somewhat interested and replied, "Who did you catch?"

"Baldwin, Biden, Gustav!"

"Baldwin..."

Katharine felt that these names sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place them at the moment. She quickly asked, "What's the background of these three?"

"Isn't the Lake District Sub-Bureau investigating the Ditter case? These three are Ditter's key henchmen, known as three of the 'Four Heavenly Kings'!"

"The Three Heavenly Kings!"

Katharine finally remembered, wondering why these names seemed familiar— they were Ditter's trusted lieutenants.

"Chief, according to the information I have, these three were high on David's list of people to capture, and now that they have fallen into our hands, they could be very valuable..."

Towards the end, Keanu revealed a sinister smile.

"Valuable..."

After thinking for a moment, Katharine replied expressionlessly, "This is the Lake District's case, these three are wanted by the Lake District Sub-Bureau, and no matter what, they are just Ditter's subordinates—they can't be that valuable, can they?"

If they had caught Ditter himself, then naturally there would be great value.

But now they merely had three of Ditter's henchmen, and Katharine did not think that David would be willing to pay any significant price for them.

"Chief, you might not be aware, but according to the information I've obtained, these three are quite important to David."

"The main issue is that Ditter has now fled to the reservation, and David may very likely need the support of armed forces. You are aware of how stringent the process of applying for armed forces support is!"

"So the testimonies of these three close aides to Ditter could be very important!"

After hearing Keanu's explanation, Katharine snapped back to attention and then asked, "So, you're saying that we could use these three to...get some benefits from the Lake District Sub-Bureau?"

Although she was not clear on how much tax revenue the Lake District would gain from the Ditter case after a thorough search.

But given the scale of the Ditter Group, there would definitely be around 15 million US dollars. experience mv,le,mp,yr content

If they could use these three to get some benefits from the Lake District side, it seemed like a good option too.

"No, Chief, that would seem rather shortsighted, and using these three to demand favors from the Lake District Sub-Bureau feels a bit like coercion, and it's not really worth doing that..."

Seeing Keanu with a look of having planned ahead, Katharine couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you suggest...?"

"Chief, our Avenue Sub-bureau has been struggling with the Yalman case, the Gaden case, the Gaboures case... Perhaps we could use these cases as bargaining chips and ask David to join in and help out!"

At those words, Katharine suddenly looked interested.

The so-called Yalman, Gaden, and Gaboures cases were actually the names of the heads of three criminal organizations in their Avenue Sub-bureau.

According to information obtained by their Avenue Sub-bureau.

These three crime lords each had a monthly net income of over four million US dollars, not to mention the illegal earnings of their other key members.

After the introduction of the Black Tax Law.

They in the Avenue Sub-bureau had launched an offensive against these three major criminal organizations.

Unfortunately, these three groups were meticulous in their operations, never leaving any loose ends.

And each group had a top-tier team of lawyers.

This led to the Avenue Sub-bureau struggling over several assessment periods without success.

Although Katharine was irritated by David's repeated successes in leading the Lake District Sub-Bureau to suppress their Avenue Sub-bureau, she admired and respected David's abilities.

If David could join their Avenue Sub-bureau's investigation into these three major cases, Katharine believed that even if they couldn't completely break through, they would at least not be as utterly stagnant as they currently were!
