Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Are You Afraid of Being Deported?

Black tax law?

So, the purpose of David and his companion's visit today is to make them pay taxes?

But what kind of joke is that? They're engaged in car theft, an illegal activity, not some legitimate business. Are they also supposed to pay taxes to the Internal Revenue Service?

At this moment, neither Miyano Masho nor any of the other Island Nation people could accept this logic.

It gave them a sense of 'the absurd opening the door to more absurdity until the absurdity is complete'.

Because in their country, an official body like the Internal Revenue Service would never deal with criminals in an official capacity.

Regardless of what these people were thinking, David continued to speak, "Alright, I've stated my purpose for coming here. Do you have anything to say?"

Miyano Masho's gaze narrowed into a slit as he said darkly, "What if we don't pay?"

"Don't pay?"

David's expression turned cold, and he said without any emotion, "Every person here will have their accounts frozen, and any assets of value will be liquidated by us until the owed taxes and penalties are paid in full!"

"Furthermore, as a punishment for defiance, we will detain you for trial, and after your sentence, you will be deported and forever barred from setting foot in America!"

The IRS's power is enormous, and these car thieves are Island Nation people; dealing with them is simply too easy.

Not to mention freezing and liquidating their assets, just the threat of deportation was enough to unsettle them.

After all, they had come here with great difficulty, simply wishing to seek their fortune and survive on this land of capital.

As expected.

Upon hearing that not only would their accounts be frozen but they would also be detained and deported, many of the Island Nation people present panicked.

Among these people, many had families to support.

From the tone of David's voice, it was clear that if they were indeed deported, it wouldn't just be targeting individuals; whole families would suffer the same fate.

No one wanted to return to the Island Nation with their tails between their legs after having taken root in this city.

Keep in mind, Dieter was not only influential in the Lake District but also a member of the Omaha Family!

What status did the Omaha Family have?

They were Native Americans who enjoyed various privileges in Las Vegas and their family had close relations with mayors, congressmen, and other officials.

Could the IRS really touch them?

And would they dare to?

"Also, you say your brothers are hardly making any money despite risking their lives. Do you think we are that easily fooled?"

Miyano Masho was taken aback before responding, "What do you mean?"

David pointed at Ono Yutaro, who was still covering his face, and said, "In this past month alone, he has made over 20,000 US Dollars in commissions from car theft."

"And him!" David pointed at Nakamura Ota and continued, "He also received over 20,000 US Dollars in commissions."

"And him, him... him..."

When David had arrived here, he had already examined all the Island Nation people present with his golden finger.

Let's not even talk about Nakamura Ota and Ono Yutaro. The rest of the Island Nation people, through this line of work, made at least 10,000 US Dollars a month, with some earning as much as 30,000 or 40,000.

Such income, even in a highly developed country like America, certainly qualified as high earners, nowhere near the pittance Miyano Masho claimed they barely scraped together each month.

Hearing their incomes so clearly enumerated, the Island Nation people at the scene felt surprised but also a bit more afraid.

The more detailed the IRS's investigation of them, the more it signified that the IRS truly had the power to manipulate them at will!

And as David just said.

The IRS could freely freeze their accounts and assets; now that their income information had been so precisely investigated, those accounts and assets certainly couldn't be hidden.

If they really went against the IRS head-on, they might all end up like fish on the chopping board.

Unconcerned with what these people were thinking, David continued, "Look, every one of you has earned a fortune on this land, and now it's just about paying some taxes. What's there to be unwilling about?"
