American Tax Officer

After ending the call.

He didn't dare delay for a moment and went straight to the director's office, knocked on the door, entered, and pressing down his joy said, "Director, the smuggling case is cracked. Guess how much we got from it!"

Katharine, who was working on some documents, first looked surprised. Seeing the barely contained smile on William's face, she stopped writing and guessed, "Ten million?"

"Guess again."

"Twelve million?"

"Guess again."

Katharine was getting impatient and said outright, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me!"

"Just over twenty million!"

"What!"

Katharine was unable to remain composed upon hearing such an enormous figure.

Keep in mind, during the last arms smuggling case, they collected just over eleven million in taxes, which was already an astronomical sum.

And now, a single smuggling case had exceeded twenty million?

She found it almost unimaginable!

After calming her mind, she asked in confusion, "How could this case bring in so much?"

Although smuggling is also very profitable, it usually doesn't reach the profitable scope of arms or drugs.

This smuggling case, surpassing the arms case by so much, was clearly abnormal.

"Mainly because last night they just received a batch of goods worth 25 million, which required over eight million in taxes, plus Director David caught several of their distributors below. Otherwise, it would have been just over ten million," William explained.

"So that's how it is..." Katharine finally understood after Keanu's explanation.

But the appearance of this twenty million made her look forward to the counterfeit currency case even more.

She asked, "How about the counterfeit currency case? Any progress from Director David?"

"There is. According to Director David, he should be able to wrap up the case within the next two days."

"Within two days? That's great!" Katharine was pleased again, and then added, "Make sure you keep a close watch. If Director David needs any help, cooperate at any time!"

"I understand, Director!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon.

Just as David had said, those three brokers arrived at the Valley Branch of the National Tax Bureau, each paying around seven hundred thousand in taxes, totaling 2.12 million US dollars.

Furthermore, Gunter's smuggling group, eager to retrieve their confiscated goods, quickly prepared the money and came to the Valley Branch to pay their taxes one by one.

After a final tally, the sum was 20.5 million US dollars.

The moment they received the money, the Valley Branch, instead of rushing to deposit it, transferred sixty percent of the case's revenue, which was 12.24 million, to the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch as per the agreement with David, directly to David's account.

Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.

David put down the notification phone and looked at the tax performance chart; indeed, the 12.24 million US dollars from Valley Branch had arrived.

Before that, with Zimmerman, the taxes collected from the Brotherhood's second-generation riches, along with some miscellaneous taxes, his total tax performance had reached 17.11 million.

Now, this 12.24 million deposit brought his total to 29.35 million US dollars, pushing his ranking to the top three in the country.

Bellamy Hattie, currently second in ranking, had a total tax performance of 31.123 million US dollars.

Brown Soros, in first place, had reached 38.55 million US dollars.

If he could wrap up the counterfeit currency case by tomorrow, squeezing past Brown Soros was uncertain, but edging out Bellamy Hattie to rise to second place should be no problem!

Gathering his thoughts, David took out his phone and dialed Director Jennifer of the Valley District Sub-bureau Branch.

In Henderson City, National Tax Bureau Valley District Sub-bureau Branch.

Jennifer was in her office, dealing with some affairs of the branch when the ringtone of her phone broke her concentration.

She immediately picked it up, and seeing that the caller was David, her spirits were instantly lifted, and she eagerly answered, "Hello, Director David."

"Director Jennifer, remember you asked me the other day if there would be any more opportunities for cooperation? I think the opportunity has come!"

"Oh?"

Jennifer, already hopeful, shone with eagerness upon hearing this and asked, "How so?"

"Here's the thing. Does your bureau have any cases involving high amounts, but which you find difficult to solve?"

David was eager to compete in the creation of a godlike feat, relying solely on Lake District and Valley Branch's illicit tax revenues, but he knew it wouldn't be enough.

After all, Las Vegas's GDP pales in comparison to international metropolitans like New York and Los Angeles.

So, he had already had a plan.

If relying solely on the Las Vegas platform was insufficient, he planned to pull in Henderson, Sparks, or other cities in Nevada, and with the illicit tax revenues from all the cities across the state, compete against Brown Soros and Bellamy Hattie!

With his golden finger as a tool, he wasn't worried about any case he couldn't crack; he was only worried about running out of cases!

"There are plenty!" came Jennifer's voice over the phone.

"Director Jennifer, don't commit too soon, when I talk about high amounts, I mean over three million US dollars!" David naturally wouldn't take just any case, only the most valuable ones.
