American Tax Officer

As the scene was reported by major media outlets, the citizens of Los Angeles and some netizens nationwide could hardly contain their emotions any longer.

"It's already the third day, why hasn't Director David taken any measures yet? Is it really the case that there's nothing that can be done?"

"Don't talk about not taking any measures, ever since that crime syndicate boss issued a bounty, Director David hasn't even stepped out of the station's doors again. I might sound harsh, but this is just too cowardly."

"I used to be utterly convinced by Director David's charisma after learning he led the armed raid on the Indians' tax collection, but now... I'm so disappointed."

Americans have always revered heroic figures, which is why characters like Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man could be born and even sweep across the nation as major phenomena.

Previously, whether it was leading the armed raid into the Indian Tribe or coming to Los Angeles and cracking down on the Rodrigozki Group with an iron fist, Director David displayed the stance of a hero fighting evil.

But now, faced with the bounty issued by Rodrigozki, not only is the previous heroic style gone, but he's also been hiding in the station for days without coming out, which is bound to disappoint both the local citizens of Los Angeles and many netizens. Discover exclusive content at empire

Washington D.C. Headquarters.

"It's already the third day, and David and his Western Suburb Branch haven't had any reaction. Is this his so-called solution?"

"Haha, I've said from the start to just let the CIA handle it, and if they had acted back then, we wouldn't have come to this point with public opinion!"

"Now that public sentiment has reached this level, even if we had the CIA take out Rodrigozki, it would be hard to salvage the image. Deputy Director Donald, you'll have to take responsibility for this!"

Facing the challenges by Rohan and others, the David-supporting faction headed by Donald sat with grim faces and uttered not a word.

Even though they had already employed various methods to contain the fermentation of public sentiment, they still underestimated the media and the emotions of the public, leading the situation to spiral further out of control.

It could be said that if, within the deadline of today, David could not achieve what he promised and capture Rodrigozki,

then their painstakingly crafted god-making plan and establishing David as the spokesperson for the "Black Tax Act" would truly become a joke!

"Donald, what exactly is going on with David?"

Obadiah's complexion wasn't good either.

Although Rohan and others didn't dare point their fingers at him directly, his discernment wasn't clouded; he clearly sensed the insinuating tone in their complaints.

Not only was he a member of David's supporting faction, but he was also the one who had rejected a direct CIA assassination of Rodrigozki a few days ago, giving David three days to handle the situation was his decision as well.

If this matter didn't yield a good outcome, he would have to bear a large part of the blame.

"I'll ask him again."

Immediately taking out his phone, Donald dialed David's number and switched on the speakerphone as he did so: "David, what are you doing exactly? Have you taken any action yet? The public opinion is getting worse every day; if this continues, nobody can help you!"

His words were not only meant for David but also to show Rohan and the others that at this point, he definitely couldn't and wouldn't continue protecting David any longer.

"Of course, rest assured Deputy Director Donald, I'll definitely give you an answer by tonight!"

"Tonight? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Alright, then I'll wait for your news!"

After ending the call, Donald looked towards the others and said, "We've come this far, so it won't hurt to wait a bit longer, right?"

"Fine, we'll give him half a day more to see what answer he comes up with!"

Although Rohan and others were very dissatisfied with the three-day deadline previously granted by Donald and Obadiah to David, they had after all agreed to it at the time, and the deadline had not yet passed, so it wasn't their turn to completely lose their temper.

But no matter, they would know the outcome by tonight anyway.

Western Suburb Branch.

After putting down the phone, David immediately summoned Buckynison Simmons and others over and asked, "Are we ready?"

"We're ready."

"Then let's set out!"

Just like the day before, David and his group slipped out from a side door of a prearranged storeroom and then took vehicles prepared in advance to the front of Los Angeles City Hall.

According to the intelligence provided by the CIA, some recent confidential policy planning at the City Hall had been leaked to Bear Country, so it was very likely that a spy was present here.

Time passed quickly, and it soon reached noon.

During lunchtime, a large number of personnel emerged from City Hall. After observing for a while, David pointed towards a man in a black suit with a hat.

Buckynison and the others also instantly understood the signal and immediately started giving instructions through their earpieces to the arranged team.

About half an hour later, after confirming that there was no desired target to apprehend, David said, "Let's go to the Santa Monica Navy Aviation Station."

The Santa Monica Navy Aviation Station, located in the Santa Monica area of Los Angeles, is an important base for the American Navy aviation forces on the West Coast and the home port of the 12th Fleet of the American Navy.

This place was also indicated by CIA intelligence as a location where spies had appeared.

Upon arriving there, David began his surveillance while nibbling on a hamburger to stave off hunger.
