American Tax Officer

David muttered to himself, but something suddenly occurred to him, and his gaze sharpened.

Why had that splendid and influential President Kennedy met such an end?

And why did the Kennedy Family thereafter suffer repeated blows?

Wasn\'t it all because they had offended the capitalists?

Now here was Selina, suggesting he focus on the capitalists. It couldn\'t be ruled out as a scheme to use him as a pawn in someone else\'s game...

With this thought, David\'s gaze turned icy as he replied, "Forgive me for being blunt, Miss Selina, but with such a powerful family like yours being put in such dire straits by those people, pushing me to go against them would be like throwing me into the fire, wouldn\'t it?"

By the end of his response, he had deliberately used the term "Miss Selina", in fact, he was setting boundaries between them.

Although they appeared to be superior and subordinate on the surface, David was very clear that they could not truly have that kind of relationship.

"No, Director David, with the current strong momentum of the Black Tax Bill, they wouldn\'t dare to touch anyone in the National Tax Bureau!"

"What\'s more, the armed deployment you led and planned made all of America witness the armed strength of the National Tax Bureau. In a way, you\'ve already become a milestone figure within the Bureau; no one would dare to put you in a deadly situation. If someone dared to do so, it would be tantamount to slapping the National Tax Bureau\'s face!"

Selina made some sense with her words.

Since Al Capone\'s time, it was the first time in 70 years that the National Tax Bureau had flexed its armed might.

As a leader in this, David was naturally and firmly tied to this display of force.

If someone dared to move against him at this point, it would effectively be telling the National Tax Bureau, "So what if you have M1 tank units, armored units, Apache Black Hawk units, or fighter squads? I am not afraid and will still strike at your people!"

To say it was a slap in the face of the National Tax Bureau was an understatement; it would be like defecating on their heads!

However, even though this was the case, David was no fool.

These capitalists might not seem as ruthless as the criminals in plain sight, but beneath their gentlemanly exterior, they hid a face more vicious than any lawbreaker\'s.

After all, Max once said something quite insightful.

"If there is 100% profit, capitalists will risk it; if there is 200% profit, they will defy the law; if there\'s 300% profit, they will trample over everything."

These people are willing to trample over anything for money.

They pave their way with money, control the media, sailboats, and resources from both the political and business spheres.

And to tax them or squeeze benefits from them?

Kennedy was a prime example!

Even with the protective charm of the National Tax Bureau, if he truly offended these people, they might not dare to kill him, but they could probably manage to get him reassigned to guarding a pond.

Wait a second...

David seemed to realize something, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes.

He had been curious about why Selina, a young lady from the Kennedy Family, would come to work at the National Tax Bureau as a mere Inspector.

And thinking back to what she had just said, "With the current strong momentum of the Black Tax Bill, they wouldn\'t dare to touch anyone in the National Tax Bureau."

Could it be...

Was this the reason Miss Selina came to the National Tax Bureau?

To affirm whether it was true or not, David inquired, "If I may be so bold to ask, Miss Selina, did you come to our National Tax Bureau for \'shelter\'?"

Hearing the word \'shelter\', Selina\'s expression stiffened for a moment, then she took a sip of her red wine without showing any intention of continuing the conversation.

But, from her facial expression, David already figured out that his guess was very likely accurate.

Following Kennedy\'s assassination, his brother Robert Kennedy had been very likely to take over his brother\'s position.

Unfortunately, he too met a tragic fate similar to his brother, assassinated during his campaign.

And it didn\'t stop there.

Afterward, Kennedy\'s sons and daughters, Robert\'s sons and daughters, and other members of the Kennedy Family encountered mysterious deaths.

Such incidents were labeled by the media as the \'Kennedy Curse\'.

Of course, anyone with a bit of sense could see that this was nothing to do with mysticism or an unscientific curse.

It was clearly an invisible, powerful hand intent on seeking relentless vengeance against the Kennedy Family!

And who was behind this invisible hand?

The answer was obvious: none other than the group of capitalists!

Now, with Selina\'s arrival at the National Tax Bureau, it was evident that the capitalists\' vendetta against the Kennedy Family was ongoing!

This could also explain why Selina, a daughter from a distinguished family, chose to join the National Tax Bureau!

It was nothing more than seeking the shelter of this big tree that was the National Tax Bureau, to add a layer of protection to her personal safety!

"Director David, you are very capable indeed, but you are missing something very important!"

"What?"

"Backing!"

As she spoke the word \'backing\', Selina\'s presence became significantly more commanding, and she continued, "You\'ve seen it. That Brown Soros has an extraordinary background. As long as he maintains his tax performance like this, given the current trend of the Black Tax Bill, his promotion would be easily secured. In time, he might even become your rival..."
