American Tax Officer

"Because of the great sacrifices and contributions he made, to honor him, once the case was over, his portrait was hung here, and he is the only one in our National Tax Service so far whose portrait was hung here without having retired or fallen in the line of duty,"

David fell silent. If it had been someone else, he might have compared them, but this involved the case of Al Capone, and he couldn't muster the heart to make comparisons.

Though his leading an armed action into the Indian Tribe was impressive and shocking to the world, in actuality, it couldn't really compare to the incident involving Al Capone in the last century.

Firstly, the Indian Tribe he dealt with was an insignificant existence in the whole of America.

Therefore, his main contribution this time was simply finding a reasonable and legal excuse to let the National Tax Service's armed force show its prowess again.

Meanwhile, Al Capone was an underground emperor that made a name for himself across America in the last century, and was even the target of the President, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and many other departments.

But in the end, the president and the various departments were unable to deal with him.

It was when they had exhausted all their options that the National Tax Service stepped in and brought down the once untouchable underground emperor, to the surprise of the president, the departments, and the entire American public.

It could be said that Lincoln granted the National Tax Service the power to arm itself, but it was actually the Al Capone incident that truly made the National Tax Service renowned and feared across America.

In a sense, David's later armed action against the Indian Tribe was merely icing on the cake.

Therefore, after such comparison, it is normal that Bunyan Weavered was able to have his portrait hung here in admiration before he retired or fell in the line of duty, while he could not.

"Alright, Director David, the Director-General and others are waiting for us upstairs, let's head up first,"

"Alright."

Leticia led David into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

Quickly, the elevator reached the top level.

And the moment the elevator doors opened, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted, catching David off guard.

As he regained his composure and looked up, he saw that in the outer hall, many people had already gathered. Although it was his first time meeting them, they were not strangers to him.

Among them were Director Obadiah, Deputy Director Donald who was in charge of the black tax bill, and Chief Advisor Wilton Heng, along with a host of senior officials, all present.

"Director David..."

At his side, Leticia whispered softly, and David snapped back to reality. Under the gaze of many bigwigs, he felt nervous, which was undeniable, and then he forced himself to appear collected as he stepped out of the elevator.

Donald was the first to approach, extending his hand, "David, congratulations on being selected for the Making a God plan."

"Thank you."

"Come, let me introduce you."

Donald first brought David to Obadiah, introducing, "This is our Director-General, Obadiah."

"Director Obadiah, hello."

"Congratulations, David."

"This is our Chief Advisor, Wilton Heng." Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Congratulations."

"This is our Special Agent, Tursi Sizer."

"Congratulations on your selection, David, I have high hopes for you."

"This is..."

"..."

With Donald's introductions, David, carrying a modest demeanor, shook hands with many of the senior officials one by one. While people like Obadiah and Tursi Sizer were welcoming and enthusiastic about his arrival and selection, others, such as Wilton Heng and Rohan, were quite cold.

But David was not surprised.

He had already received news that Wilton Heng and Rohan belonged to Brown's supporting faction.

And now that he was the one selected, this amounted to a slap in the face for these people, so it would have been strange if they had shown him any warmth.

"Director, this is from the President,"

Just as the introductions were concluded and they were about to move to the next stage, a man carrying a bouquet of flowers approached Obadiah and David.

Hearing it was from the President, David's expression tensed, then he turned to look at the bouquet, which also had a greeting card attached.

On closer inspection, the card read, 'Congratulations to Mr. David of the National Tax Service on being selected for the Making a God plan.'

When he saw this message, a significant wave of emotion stirred in David's heart.

Before coming here, Selina had told him that the White House was dissatisfied with the tax revenue from the black tax bill, putting pressure on the senior management of headquarters.

And now that he was selected, even the President had sent flowers and a greeting card, seemingly confirming what Selina had said.

It appeared that his selection really did put him into the sights of the White House.

David felt the pressure mounting suddenly.

"Put these aside for Director David,"

"Alright."

Upon hearing Director Obadiah's order, the staff member complied, walking over to a table on the right and placing the flowers there.

It was only then that David realized, in addition to the bouquet from the President, there were over a dozen others laid out on the table.

Obadiah explained, "Aside from the President, the Department of Justice, the Treasury Department, the FBI, and... these departments have also sent flowers and cards to congratulate you on your selection."

David paused but quickly responded, "In that case, please convey my thanks to them."
