American Tax Officer

When one person rejoices, another groans.

Those who had just supported Brown Soros burst with joy instantaneously, as according to Obadiah\'s remarks, the one to ascend would naturally be Brown Soros.

"Consultant Welton Heng\'s analysis is very reasonable; however... if we go by that reasoning, it will certainly dishearten David. Although his tax performance is not as good as the other two individuals, he is after all stationed in such a small division and moreover, he has a series of bonus points from armed operations, which cannot be overlooked..."

These words from Obajoa immediately electrified those like Donald who were originally downcast.

Because they had discerned that their Chief seemed to be supportive of David.

And as long as they had Obadiah\'s support, David still had hope!

After Obadiah spoke these words, the room instantly fell silent.

The situation had become clear: amongst the IRS bigwigs, one supported Brown Soros and another David.

Since the Divine Project could select only one person, the situation had become quite delicate.

And just as the atmosphere was gradually intensifying,

Vice Director Rohan suddenly spoke up: "Although David qualifies, I believe we absolutely cannot choose him!"

At these words, many faces in the room showed surprise.

Because although this Vice Director supported Brown Soros, he had also recognized David\'s contributions.

Yet now, his words carried an aggressive tone, which naturally shocked and puzzled many.

Donald furrowed his brows and immediately demanded, "Vice Director Rohan, what do you mean by that? Why can we absolutely not choose him?"

"I have received the information that the Governor of Nevada State, Stevenson, was brought down by him personally. Although outsiders are still unclear about this, no one can guarantee that it will not come out one day."

"And if this matter really gets out and becomes known to Governors of other states, Senators, Congressmen, and some people in Washington D.C., it will bring us major trouble."

"So, if we were to select him as the face of our IRS, and he really gets into some kind of trouble later, what would we do?"

Upon hearing Rohan\'s remarks, many people instantly tensed up. .net

The Black Tax Bill passed Congress because no one cared to sympathize with those criminals, and it didn\'t touch the interests of those Senators, Congressmen, and other influential figures, which is why they let the bill pass.

But if David\'s overthrow of Stevenson were to leak, it would surely cause panic among many of those powerful figures.

They could potentially go to any length to strike at David.

And if they really did choose David as the spokesperson for the IRS, they might indeed face significant troubles later on.

Thinking of this, the senior officials who had supported David, including Obadiah himself, began to sway slightly internally.

But Donald was not swayed in the slightest; he retorted angrily: "Vice Director Rohan, if David was able to topple Governor Stevenson, that proves his ability far surpasses that of people like Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros by who knows how much. That\'s supposed to be a bonus, how could it become a demerit in your eyes?"

"And let\'s not forget everyone, the great power of our IRS is granted to us by the Federal Constitution."

"It has always been us troubling others, how can we fear others troubling us?"

"If Mr. Lincoln knew about this, he would certainly criticize us descendants for being as timid as mice!"

Donald\'s words rang out powerfully, like thunder, reaching the ears of all present.

And those like Obajoa, who had wavered slightly, now suddenly woke up, with their faces turning a bit red.

Indeed.

They were the IRS, the most powerful institution in America; did they need to fear those influential figures so much?

And if those people dared to give them trouble, they could very well just set David loose on them. Since David could bring down Governor Stevenson, surely dealing with those powerful figures wouldn\'t be too difficult, right?

Thinking this, Obajoa spoke up directly: "Deputy Director Donald speaks correctly. Since David managed to bring down Stevenson, that also indirectly reflects his capability, and it should not count as a demerit!"

Donald exhaled in relief; his forceful words had seemingly awakened the Chief. As long as the Chief stood firm, there was still a chance to win!

"Since we all have different opinions, I have a suggestion!"

Everyone turned their heads to see who was speaking and realized it was Tursi Sizer, the special agent in charge of supervising and managing the tax investigations and law enforcement work in different districts.

Obajoa immediately asked, "What\'s your suggestion?"

"There\'s no need to select the candidate for the Divine Project right now. Since a new round of assessment has started, why not just inform them that after this assessment period, the one with the highest tax achievement will be the candidate? If anyone loses, they will likely accept the outcome, and this seems to be the fairest choice at the moment."

"Wait a second…"

Donald immediately interjected, "What kind of joke is this? How can Las Vegas possibly compete with Los Angeles, and New York? That\'s hardly fair."

Tursi replied, "Then we can transfer David to another district now, giving him a fair platform to compete. That should be fair, right?"

Donald\'s brow wrinkled.

The other\'s proposal seemed fair but was in fact still biased.

The reasoning was simple: whether it was Brown Soros or Bellamy Hattie, both were deeply familiar with their respective jurisdictions, and naturally, tax collections were smoothly executed.

Transferring David to a new district now, while the platform was the same, would require time to familiarize, and how could David possibly keep up with their tax revenue pace in a short time?

But just as he was about to voice his opposition, Consultant Welton Heng beat him to it, saying: "I think the suggestion is good and indeed fair. What do you think, Chief Obajoa?"
