American Tax Officer

Chapter 696: Chapter 349: David is Revived
 

“Rohan is right, the current situation is unfavorable for us, we can’t just retaliate blindly or the situation would become even more uncontrollable.”

Initially, everyone became silent because of Rohan’s words, and with Welton Heng, the chief advisor, expressing his support, no one at the scene could object.

After all, the people are dead, and nothing we do can bring them back to life.

So, it is better to look forward.

The atmosphere froze for about a minute, when Obadiah couldn’t sit still any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, “But we absolutely cannot let this matter go, Yangza, notify the armed base in New York State, have them mobilize a squadron of fighters for a ‘drill’ near Senado Island.”

“Yes, Chief.”

When the mobilization of arms was mentioned, everyone grew tense, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was just a drill.

“Also, the Storm Tax Audit operation was initiated by Inspector David, and although he has only just passed away, we must continue to carry out this operation in his spirit. What do you think?”

“I agree with that, this operation, although started by Inspector David, is also a policy of the Internal Revenue Service. It would be too frivolous to cancel it just because he is dead.”

“That makes sense, but on another note, if the Storm Tax Audit operation is to continue, who will be in charge?”

Everyone present agreed, but when it came to who would take charge, they all fell silent.

David was so successful with his tax audits in Silicon Valley that if the successor could not continue the success of this policy, they would somewhat be blamed.

Obadiah turned his gaze towards Donald and said, “Donald, you will take over this audit operation from now on, and the main location will be Wall Street!”

The assassination of David was not only a great loss for the IRS but also a huge blow to their public image. Although they could not mobilize armed retaliation outright due to the current situation, he absolutely could not let the Freemasonry Group have an easy time.

Isn’t Wall Street the stronghold of Freemasonry? Well, then, they would continue to aggressively retaliate there using the Storm Tax Audit operation!

Obadiah’s plan was good, but Donald’s face fell when he received this order.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stir into these troubled waters—after all, David was his protégé, and he was so angry he could kill those Freemasonry guys.

But he knew his own abilities well—he didn’t have the auditing skills that David had, and at a place like Wall Street, which company doesn’t have a top-tier tax and finance team?

He truly had no confidence in catching any tax loopholes in these companies.

“What, is there a problem?”

“Nothing… I’ll do my best!”

…

Over the next two days, people around the country spontaneously organized memorials for David.

But considering David was now ‘deceased’, many unlawful individuals also started to stir things up, agitating for the abolition of the black tax bill again.

Of course, the most eye-catching event was a press conference held by the IRS.

The press conference was attended by Donald, who carried out Obadiah’s instructions and announced that the Storm Tax Audit operation would continue.

As for the next location, he didn’t hide anything and pointed out directly that they would be focusing on Wall Street.

Wall Street, being the cradle of world finance, naturally caused a global outcry.

However, the uproar subsided fairly quickly.

Because everyone knew that only David had the ability to thoroughly audit places like Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and now that he was ‘no longer in this world’, even if the IRS continued the investigation, it was very unlikely to yield much.

Did they really think the accountants and financial auditors on Wall Street were pushovers?

They had long made their financial and tax dealings crystal clear through various means; confident that, apart from David, the IRS could send anyone to inspect them dozens of times without finding any discrepancy!

…

Port of Portland, located on the west coast of America, is an important port in Oregon, about forty kilometers from Salem City.

And now, on the west side of this port, in a densely packed area of shipping containers, a blue Volvo arrived.

The car stopped, and two men stepped out—they were none other than CIA agents Elvis and Brod.

Brod walked up to the entrance of one container, flipped open a concealed cover, revealing a small LCD screen.

He placed his entire palm on it, followed by a ‘beep’ from the screen, after which the door of the container automatically opened.

“Elvis, you finally came. If I had to stay here a day or two longer, I would have suffocated to death!”

As soon as the door opened, a complaining voice came from inside.

“Our safe house is naturally boring, plus, this was the plan you arranged.”

Elvis walked in with a smile.

Inside sat a figure comfortably leaning back, legs crossed, munching on a bag of chips. Had any media been present, they would have been shocked for sitting there was none other than David, who had been almost confirmed dead!
