Chapter 178: Chapter 133: Arms Case Resolved, Euphoria in the Big City District_2

When David and his team arrived, they found that there were about dozens of workers loading and unloading several trucks.

Driven by curiosity, Bucky stepped forward and tore open the packing film of one cargo, and after finding that it indeed contained some equipment, he seemed a bit disappointed.

Just then, a manager wearing a safety helmet approached and rebuked, "What are you doing, tearing our packaging like this?"

Nisen took out his tax badge and said, "National Tax Bureau, we're here to see your boss, Mr. Gabourey!"

Upon hearing it was the National Tax Bureau, the manager was startled and then replied, "Mr. Gabourey is not here."

David responded, "Then who is in charge here right now?"

"Mr. Kane is here," came the reply.

"Kane? Alright, then notify him for us, say we want to have a talk."

David had met Kane previously in the Indian Reservation and knew that he was the second in command of the group.

In a deep part of the warehouse, inside an office.

Kane was intently reviewing a list of purchase requests when a knock on the door sounded, and he quickly said, "Come in."

The next second, the warehouse manager wearing a safety helmet came in and said, "Mr. Kane, the people from the National Tax Bureau are here, they want to see you."

"The National Tax Bureau?"

Kane blinked in surprise but quickly regained his composure.

Audit visits from the National Tax Bureau weren't new; probably just another routine inspection!

With this thought, he said, "Bring them over!"

"Alright."

"The same goes for me, Mr. Gabourey, I have likewise heard of your reputation!"

[Name: Gaboures Darnel.]

[Occupation: Arms Dealer.]

[Income: Sixteen million five hundred thousand US dollars.]

[Income Details: On December 7th, provided a batch of arms to the Mexico Gang, earning a profit of eight hundred thousand US dollars, on December 19th, supplied a batch of arms to the Main Street Mafia, earning Six Hundred Thousand US dollars, on December 28th, provided a batch of arms to an African Gang Leader, earning a profit of one million...]

[More Details:...]

[Tax owed: Six million one hundred seventy-seven thousand six hundred US dollars]

As they shook hands, David was examining the man's information.

When he saw that this fellow's income was over fifteen million dollars, David was mildly astonished.

Initially, the results from Keanu's investigation indicated that Gabourey was earning around four million dollars a month.

But now, with a look through "the golden finger," it wasn't anywhere close to four million; it was nearly four times that!

However, upon further consideration, this seemed reasonable.

First, it's been almost two months since the passage of the Black Tax bill; sixteen million five hundred thousand dollars meant Gabourey was making about seven million three hundred thousand dollars a month, which is just over three million more than the estimated four million.

Considering Zimmerman was earning over fourteen million and they were both in the lucratively profitable arms business, it was actually quite normal for Gabourey to have this income!

"Chief Tax Officer David, the tax affairs of my warehouse are handled by a team of lawyers and accountants, there shouldn't be any problems. May I ask the purpose of your visit today...?"

After the introductions, Gabourey cut straight to the chase.

"The purpose of the National Tax Bureau, of course, is to collect taxes, Mr. Gabourey, we are all intelligent people, I won't beat around the bush. We know what you are involved in, so just pay the taxes you owe, and we promise we'll turn around and leave without further hassle. Your business can continue to operate smoothly. How does that sound?"
