Chapter 227 : 159: Heading to Carson City, The State Boils Over_2
Once chosen, simply being promoted to sub-bureau chief was one thing, but possibly even the chief of the big city\'s sub-bureau, that was quite remarkable.
Just think, if he were chosen, he would be transferred to big cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco.
With the GDP of these cities combined with his Midas touch, wouldn\'t he soar to great heights!
"Yes, the headquarters is considering that, since the \'god\' has been chosen, it surely needs to be well-packaged. If placed in a small city, the exposure would be too little. Only by placing it in a big city will there be enough exposure to also boost the production of the Black Tax Bill."
"I see..."
"Oh, right, after the meeting on the \'god-making\' plan, Deputy Director Donald specifically sought me out and expressed his expectations for you, hoping you would strive for it."
"I will."
Now that it was confirmed he would be promoted directly to bureau chief if he succeeded, and he might even be transferred to a big city, David naturally would fight tooth and nail for it.
"Chief, I have reached a cooperation agreement with other cities in Nevada State, similar to the one with Lake District Sub-Bureau, so in the coming period, I need to make trips to visit these cities."
William was initially startled but quickly understood David\'s intention and replied, "That\'s actually a good idea, go ahead."
There were no big cases left in their Lake District.
Having David handle those trivial little cases would be an underutilization of his talents. Cooperating with other cities to tackle their big cases was indeed an excellent choice.
After all, when these big cases were solved, Lake District Sub-Bureau would definitely reap the major rewards.
Leaving William\'s office, David immediately called Buckynison Simmons over and said, "Get ready, we\'re heading to Carson City."
"Going to Carson City... Do we need to disguise ourselves?"
Nisen sensed David\'s plan, but also feared that doing so might spook the enemies, hence the suggestion.
"No need, it\'s useless, go get ready."
Carson City is the capital of Nevada State, where the state government and the FBI Office are located.
After the major earthquakes in Sparks and Henderson City, whether it be the city hall or the state government, they would surely have prepared for his arrival.
And since Special Agent Gavin dared to make a move against him, the FBI would certainly be guarding against his arrival.
Moreover, due to his recent high profile, many media outlets were also closely monitoring him.
Therefore, unless David had Sun Wukong\'s seventy-two transformations, it would be difficult for him to evade so many agencies, personnel, and cameras\' surveillance.
Since that was the case, he might as well go there with a bold front.
Half an hour later, everything was ready and David and his team gradually got into Nisen\'s Volvo, heading toward the highway.
Because David had no intention of hiding his movements, sure enough, some in the media who had been keeping a close eye on him quickly tracked his vehicle leaving Las Vegas.
To gain traffic, these paparazzi immediately edited many headlines and, along with photos taken while tracking, posted them online.
[Shocking, Iron-fisted Chief Tax Officer is leaving Las Vegas, which city is he pointing to?]
[After returning to Las Vegas, Director David mobilizes once again, which city will he visit?]
[Apart from Sparks and Henderson City, could there be another city\'s officials about to fall?]
"My goodness, Director David is on the move again, which city is he heading to?"
"I hope he comes to our Reno City, our city hall is in dire need of a cleanup."
"No matter which city he goes to, we just need to enjoy the show. If another official gets sentenced to a millennium of prison time, that\'d be really entertaining!"
These news posts, once uploaded to the internet, instantly sparked a heated debate across Nevada.
The onlookers were continuously speculating which city David was heading to.
Meanwhile, besides Sparks and Henderson, in the City Halls of the remaining 16 cities of Nevada State, many officials started to panic after receiving the news.
"What the hell, we\'ve already repealed the state government\'s crackdown directive, and now you, David, are targeting us, that\'s not very kind, is it?"
Officials in various cities were increasingly frightened, and many of them were so concerned that they couldn\'t even take care of government affairs; instead, they started tracking the paparazzi\'s coverage of David\'s enforcement action.
Fortunately, after more than half an hour of tracking, when they concluded that David\'s vehicle was heading towards Carson City, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But while the other 15 City Halls breathed a sigh of relief,
the City Hall of Carson City was tensed up.
Mayor Risa Matson urgently summoned all the key members to the conference room and said with a grave face, "I believe you are all aware that David is coming to our city, what do you think we should do?"
"We are the capital of Nevada, he wouldn\'t dare mess around here, would he?"
"That\'s not necessarily true; if he\'s come, he must have a purpose!"
"A purpose? Could it be because we haven\'t repealed the crackdown in Carson City, and he\'s specifically coming here to deal with us?"
Out of the 19 cities in the state, Carson City was the only one still upholding the crackdown directive issued by the state government.
Therefore, everyone there felt that David was probably targeting them because of this.
"No matter what his purpose is, as long as everyone present here is clean and has not engaged in illegal activity, then he won\'t be able to touch us!"
Risa Matson interrupted the others, sweeping his gaze sharply around the room.
Many of those he looked at lowered their heads slightly, clearly lacking confidence.
Seeing this, Risa Matson felt somewhat disappointed.
His words were actually a test for the people present, but now it seemed there were quite a few unclean hands behind the scenes in his City Hall.
At that moment, one member quietly suggested, "The other cities have all called off the crackdown, why don\'t we... just go with the flow?"
"Are you out of your mind? It doesn\'t matter if other cities call it off, they are autonomous, but we are the capital, the location of the state government. Doing this would be a public slap in the face of the state government!"
"Dawson is right; it\'s not quite appropriate to cancel outright, especially since we are the capital and the Governor is also in our city!"
"..."
As soon as the member made this suggestion, he was immediately lambasted by the others present.
"Enough!"
Risa Matson interrupted their words again and said coldly, "Before he gets here, those of you who have been involved in dirty dealings better handle it quickly. If you can\'t handle it, then hand me your resignation immediately. Don\'t bring down our entire City Hall. Do you understand?!"
After David dealt with Sparks and Henderson, not only were four senior officials put in jail, but most of those who weren\'t incarcerated were also forced to resign.
Risa Matson did not want such an outcome in Carson City.
"Understood..."
The people unanimously responded and then started to leave the room.
Governor\'s Mansion.
Eugene burst into Stevenson\'s office and said, "Governor, that David is coming to Carson City."
"What?"
Stevenson, who was working on government affairs, was startled at first but quickly thought of something and asked, "Is Lawson Rubins in Carson City now?"
Eugene replied, "Yes, he\'s here in our city for the next few days to attend some academic lectures."
"Haha, truly a good obedient dog!"
Stevenson thought that David was following his instructions to come here and deal with Lawson Rubins, and immediately burst into laughter, delighted with the turn of events.
