American Tax Officer

As he pushed the door open, he saw William on the phone.

"Alright, Director Jon, I understand, we're completely prepared here and can connect with the armed forces at any time. Okay, let's leave it at that..."

After hanging up, William looked towards David, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and said, "State headquarters has already communicated with the central headquarters. This armed deployment is a perfect opportunity to 'flex our muscles' to criminals nationwide; the Indian Tribe is going to be in trouble!"

David felt a surge of joy at these words.

The central headquarters had indeed planned to use this incident to promote the Black Tax Bill. In that case, the weaponry and equipment deployed would certainly be extraordinary!

Never mind tanks and armored vehicles—Apache Armed Helicopters, F16s, F35 stealth fighters were likely to be paraded as well!

Soon, the Indian Tribe would understand what cruelty meant!

Collecting his thoughts, David asked, "So, chief, what's our next move?"

"You went into the tribe yesterday and are aware of the illegal transactions there. I've discussed this point with State headquarters. To avoid unnecessary tax loss, once the troops arrive, you will take full command!"

"Alright, no problem. So, should I take a team to the Indian Tribe now and wait for the arrival of the armed forces there?"

"Go!"

Without wasting words, David turned and headed to the third-floor Inspector's Office, greeting everyone, "Folks, get ready, we're going to the Indian Tribe!"

The inspectors present were already brimming with anticipation. At his words, they orderly proceeded to the equipment storage to gear up.

However, Bucky and Nisen did not follow the crowd immediately but approached David, with Bucky asking, "Chief Tax Officer, is the armed force on its way?"

David nodded, then replied, "They're coming from Carson City. It won't take long!"

The capital of Nevada State is Carson City, and the headquarters of the State's armed forces base is also located there.

Something occurred to Nisen, who asked, "It's still over an hour until one o'clock, what if they suddenly surrender the person?"

Nisen, of course, knew the deterrent effect that the deployment of armed forces would have on the criminals of Las Vegas. If they were to suddenly give up their efforts, it would not be fun.

David smiled and responded, "The central headquarters is ready to use this case for publicity, so even if they surrender now, they definitely won't call the troops back!"

At these words, Bucky and Nisen immediately brightened and promptly turned to head for the equipment storage.

...

Indian Reservation, West District Entrance.

Compared to yesterday, a significant change in personnel had taken place at the entrance today.

Yesterday there were only about a dozen members of the Guard Squad here.

But today, there were not only hundreds of armed Native American youths with submachine guns, AK47s, bulletproof vests, and grenades, but several machine guns and Gatlings were mounted on positions at the entrance for intimidation.

It was clear Tewin had transformed this once-ordinary entrance into the shape of a wartime bunker.

"Everyone, stay alert! If the IRS people arrive, no one fires without my command. Got it?"

One of Tewin's loyal men was loudly reminding these armed Native American youths.

However, not long after he spoke,

a rumbling sound suddenly came from the road not far away.

The Indians at the entrance looked up and quickly identified that these were vehicles from the IRS, causing everyone's nerves to instantly tense.

Soon, David's convoy reached within 30 meters of the entrance.

But when they got out of their vehicles, many inspectors were stunned to see so many armed Native American youths and the heavily armed checkpoint with Gatlings and machine guns.

They knew the Indian Tribe wasn't planning to hand over the person, but they hadn't expected these Native Americans to be so bold, arming so many people and setting up so many heavy weapons overnight in preparation for a confrontation!

Was this a rebellion?

Nisen came to David's side, seething with anger, "These damned Indians, too audacious!"

David, however, was not overly surprised.

For yesterday, he had already detected the arms deal between Kane and Tewin using his golden finger.

That's why these Native American youths were able to arm themselves overnight.

"Everyone, take a step back, let's not rush this!"

Since the other party had armed themselves, David wasn't sure if the Native Americans would suddenly start an undeclared war. It was better to step back and wait for the arrival of the armed forces.

Meanwhile, inside the Reservation, in the Chieftain's Manor Hall.

"Chieftain, the IRS's armed inspectors from yesterday have returned!"

With the time nearing the one o'clock deadline given by David, Gael and the Elders present were already anxious. Now that they heard the IRS people were back, everyone became even more silent.

After a long while, an elder finally made a tough suggestion, "Chieftain, it's not wise to keep opposing the IRS. Before their armed force arrives, maybe... maybe we should just do as they say. If Dieter goes to jail, we can just spend some money on a good lawyer and grease some palms in prison. Maybe he won't be locked up for long!"
