Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The Black Community

"Nisen, I'm finding that you might be a bit presumptuous!"

Lewis was becoming dissatisfied. What sort of background did Dieter have, and who were you, a mere inspector, to investigate him?

If something serious were indeed provoked, let alone Nisen, even he, the Chief Tax Officer, might not be able to withstand it.

The Omaha Family had far too deep roots in Las Vegas.

If they could be taken down so easily, then their National Tax Bureau Lakeside District Sub-Bureau Branch would have acted long ago!

Chastised like this, Nisen's face alternated between shades of green and purple.

According to the partner system of the National Tax Bureau.

Although this tax affair of Three Hundred and Ninety Six Thousand US dollars could be accounted as half his achievement.

But from Lewis's expression just now, it was clear he knew that the main credit for this tax evasion case rested on David's shoulders.

Fearing that his own merit wouldn't be enough for promotion, he had bitten the bullet and volunteered to investigate Dieter's case, only to be so unmercifully rejected.

"Chief Tax Officer Lewis... "

"Enough, don't say more!"

Nisen still felt unwilling, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lewis, who then looked at David, saying, "David, you handled this case so cleanly and decisively. I presume the case of the Black Zero Purchase Participant won't be too much for you all, right?"

"Piece of cake."

David understood the meaning behind Lewis's words. He wanted him to keep an eye on Nisen, ensuring he didn't cause any trouble, while investigating this current case as per the previous assignment.

"Good, then go on!"

...

"Shit, we just received such a huge sum of tax money, and not only does this Lewis barely praise us, but he also won't let us get involved with Dieter's case!"

On the way back, Nisen, who was driving the car, was seething, occasionally pressing down hard on the accelerator, venting his frustration.

"Don't think too much about it. I've heard that the Sub-Bureau Branch is preparing to form a special task force to investigate Dieter's case. It's normal that they don't want us involved!"

David could understand Lewis, to be honest.

To tell the truth, if he were in Lewis's shoes, he wouldn't allow these two to meddle in that case either.

After all, they were about to be transferred.

If, at this crucial moment, their career paths were affected because of the Omaha Family affair, it would be a loss not worth taking.

Putting his thoughts aside, David took out a document from his pocket and after carefully reviewing it for two minutes, he finally found a direction, and both men started walking.

As they ventured deeper,

the traces of Black people gradually became more numerous.

Some were playing basketball, some were smoking marijuana, and others were gathered together, talking about who knows what.

But when they saw David and Nisen, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and observed the two with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

"Asian monkey, what are you doing in our community?"

After staring for a while, a thuggish Black youth spoke up provocatively.

It might have been due to racial suppression.

Despite being on his home turf, he still didn't dare to act rashly towards Nisen, who was White, and instead chose David, who looked easier to bully, for his provocation.

[Name: Sidorf Fahl.]

[Occupation: Zero Purchase Participant.]

[Monthly Income: 4600 US dollars.]

[Income Details: On December 9th, participated in looting an iPhone Store on Crystal Shopping Street, obtained an iPhone13, profit 600 US dollars; On December 23rd, participated in looting a Nike store in Macy's Department Store, profit 300 US dollars...]

[More Details...]

[Tax Due: 460 US dollars.]

After checking the information that appeared above this guy's head, David, who should've been angry, revealed a slight smile.

According to the information they had received, they were supposed to be looking for someone called 'Osborne' today, who was said to be the ringleader of a Zero Purchase scheme.

But unexpectedly, this young fellow in front of them was also a participant in Zero Purchase.

This was somewhat of an unexpected gain!

Since that was the case, there was no need for pleasantries!

David put away his smile, stepped forward toward Sidorf, and soon came face to face with him, asking amiably, "What did you just call me?"

Such a stance stunned the initially cocky Sidorf.

Generally speaking, this is a Black community, filled with their own people, and the person confronting him was Asian, not likely to dare cause trouble.

Yet not only did David seem intent on causing trouble, but he also dared to confront him face to face. This wasn't something the average person would dare to do.
