Chapter 52: Chapter 50: Catching a Thief in Ward Building

Meeting the tax achievement could harm the interests of many Inspectors.

But if David were willing to come to their avenue district, then all would be worth it!

Upon hearing about meeting the tax achievement, David was slightly surprised, yet he quickly returned to normal and refused, "Sorry Brunan Tax Investigator, at this stage I'm not ready to leave the Lake District, maybe we'll talk about it later!"

Developing in the avenue district presents higher prospects, but which is as important as the position of Chief Tax Officer at this stage!

Brunan was stunned. He did not expect that, even after making such an offer, David did not seem the slightest bit tempted.

Yet he did not give up, continuing to lobby: "Inspector David, you have to understand, the development space of our avenue district is far beyond what the Lake District can offer now, and with our avenue district as a springboard, climbing up to Chief Tax Officer, Deputy Tax Inspector, or even Tax Inspector, it's not an impossibility!"

"I understand, Deputy Tax Inspector Brunan, we'll talk about it later!"

Brunan stared hard at David's expressionless face, ultimately sighed helplessly, and said, "Alright, think it over, and call me anytime if you have any thoughts!"

Although he was two ranks higher than David, if David were unwilling to come, he couldn't just force him!

After ending the conversation and walking out of the cafe, Brunan immediately dialed a number: "Keanu, we've got a bit of a problem..."

National Tax Bureau Avenue Sub-bureau Branch.

After hanging up the phone, Keanu's expression was somewhat unpredictable.

It's well-known that their avenue district is the center of Las Vegas – other district Inspectors don't even have the opportunity to transfer over.

And David had just refused!

Moreover, it was after they offered to meet over four hundred thousand in tax achievement!

Damn...

Keanu inwardly cursed, then picked up the phone and called the Section Chiefs one by one to convene an emergency meeting.

The threat from David was too great.

If things continued this way, once this new round of evaluations ended, they feared their avenue district sub-bureau would be embarrassed again.

So he needed to light a fire under these Section Chiefs, to get them to go all out in collecting taxes.

By then, even if they couldn't surpass the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, they couldn't fall too far behind either!

...

Two days later, the underground parking lot of Ward Building.

"Are you confident you can root out those guys?"

During these two days of waiting, the two of them had zero tax achievement logged.

Hence, their ranking on the tax achievement board had fallen from 411 to 501, which filled Nisen with anxiety.

Today, there were quite a few people viewing the exhibits; a rough count totaled at least a hundred people, and after a good while of looking, David hadn't found anything.

It wasn't until half an hour had passed that a Latin woman appeared in his sight, and he was instantly alert.

"So it's you..."

David's lips curled up slightly as he stared at this Latin woman named Camila.

But he soon realized that although she walked from one display case to another, she was always murmuring to herself.

According to the information from the Golden Finger.

She wasn't working solo, but had four accomplices, and she must be wearing some kind of miniature earpiece now, communicating with her teammates!

David stopped surveilling her and began searching for her accomplices.

This time it went smoothly, and in only about five minutes, he had singled out another switch thief.
