American Tax Officer

```

Long Beach District Center, Los Angeles City Bureau of the IRS.

Upon his arrival, David was escorted straight into an office where the already long-awaited Felton quickly stood up, smiling as he said, "Director David, you were brave last night."

"It's nothing; took care of Phipps, but now there are two more troubles added, not much significance."

Felton, knowing what troubles David was referring to, didn't linger on the topic and shifted the conversation, "Oh right, let's talk about the purpose of your visit today."

"I want to take down the Camora Family."

Felton's expression froze momentarily, his face turning grave as he asked, "What is your reason for wanting to take them down?"

"We intercepted information that the involvement of those two congressmen was due to the lobbying by this family, and now, in California, as well as other states, congressmen clearly smell the opportunity to get the support of criminals by attacking the Black Tax Bill. We must remove influencers like the Camoras, who stir things up behind the scenes, to stabilize the situation."

Felton, chin in hand, fell into thought. Being in the position of Director of the Los Angeles City Bureau of the IRS, he could naturally discern the sense in David's words.

Following the two congressmen after Phipps, if not receiving some promise from underground emperors of criminal groups like the Camoras, would not dare to get involved so quickly.

If they could take down this family with swift action, it would indeed serve as a deterrent to other crime bosses in various cities and states, stopping them from daring to lobby their local congressmen against the Black Tax Bill.

After mulling it over, Felton seemed to have some concerns and said, "According to the principle of jurisdiction, the Camora Family falls under Long Beach District; shouldn't this matter be handled by Director Ducray and his Long Beach District Bureau Branch?"

After all, Long Beach District is the most important district in Los Angeles; if the case of the Camora Family were transferred to the Western Suburb Branch, it would deal a blow to the authority of Long Beach District.

Moreover, he was good friends with Ducray, so deep down, he didn't want the Camora Family's case to be handled by the Western Suburb Branch.

"The day before yesterday, I already called Director Ducray, asking him to settle matters with the Camora Family, but they didn't seem capable, so let me take care of it personally!"

Felton fell silent, seeing that David was set on taking down the Camora Family. After all, David was valued by the headquarters and had a promising future; Felton couldn't keep blocking him without giving face.

He then cautioned, "Although the Camora Family can be considered the underground emperor of Los Angeles, in recent years their family has successfully whitewashed themselves, even infiltrating high society. If you take action against them, you will likely involve many people, and the troubles will be many. Are you certain?"

"Of course."

David uttered these words with a confident tone.

"Well then, you go ahead."

David gave a slight nod and then stood up to leave.

After he left, Felton immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Soon after, at the Long Beach District Bureau Branch, Ducray slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily, "Fake."

About seven or eight minutes later, the office door was knocked on, and his secretary came in to remind, "Director Ducray, Director David from the Western Suburb Branch is here, saying he wants to talk to you."

Hearing that David had arrived, Ducray clenched his fist even tighter. After taking a deep breath, he put on a stern face and said, "Let him come in."

Soon, David was brought in. He neither shook hands with the other party nor offered a pleasant demeanor, saying expressionlessly, "Director Ducray, I believe the City Bureau has already discussed with you, it's true, the matter of the Camora Family, starting now, will be handled by our Western Suburb Branch!"

Ducray's eyes were nearly spitting fire, and through gritted teeth, he interrogated, "Director David, I've said before, the Camora Family belongs to our jurisdiction, there's no need for the Western Suburb Branch to..."

"You shut your mouth!" Experience more on empire

Before Ducray could finish, David directly interrupted him, accusing, "Do you have the face to speak of this, Director Ducray? I had reminded you to settle the Camora Family, you not only failed to handle it, but let them go collude with two other congressmen to get involved, that's your responsibility!"

Leaving aside the fact that David already held leverage over Ducray, he was now the Director of the Western Suburb Branch, holding a rank equivalent to Ducray, naturally not needing to offer any further face to him.

"You..."

Ducray trembled with rage; what he wanted to say was, would Phipps have brazenly stood out to attack the Black Tax Bill if not for David meddling with those Disney movie companies in Hollywood?

And would he need to take care of the Camora Family?

The point was, the Camora Family had successfully whitewashed themselves years ago, and even his Long Beach District Bureau couldn't grasp anything against them; instead, to ensure the criminals in his jurisdiction paid their taxes obediently, they had to coax the Camora Family to help.

David comes in without understanding the situation and asks him to handle the family?

How to handle it?

Go ahead and handle it, then!

If not for the fact that David held leverage over him, today he would have outright cursed him to his face!

Striving to calm his anger, Ducray said, "David, you don't understand our jurisdiction's situation, we are not unwilling..."
