Chapter 121: Chapter 101: Then Change a Member of Parliament to Solve It
Dieter was so rebuked that his face turned red and his neck swelled up.
If only he had known how serious the matter was, he would have never resorted to assassination. But now, it was too late for regrets!
The atmosphere at the scene became stagnant for quite some time.
Gael looked at Angstorm and spoke, "Senator Angstorm, now that things have come to this, it's pointless to talk about it anymore. Let's see if there's anything we can do to resolve this."
Angstorm's expression darkened.
He had made himself very clear just now, and yet Gael was still asking him to find a solution, which was somewhat embarrassing.
But for the sake of the Indian Tribe's votes, he couldn't just turn hostile and could only make an excuse, "Chief Gael, it's not that I don't want to find a way, but as you can see, the National Tax Bureau is showing no signs of backing down.
"In the future, if you ask for my help, I'll never refuse, but with the current situation, I'm truly powerless. You wouldn't want to see me get into trouble, would you?"
With that said, the atmosphere once again fell into stagnation.
Angstorm continued to speak, "Well then, Chief Gael, I have a lot on my plate so I'll be heading back to the city first. Contact me if there's anything else!"
Without caring what everyone else was thinking, Angstorm turned and left.
"Hmph, these politicians, they're nothing but timid rats, always protecting their own feathers!"
Watching Angstorm's retreating figure disappearing in the distance, Tewin cursed angrily and then approached Gael, asking, "Chieftain, he's my only son. Although he's somewhat incompetent, as a father, I can't just watch him rot in jail for life!"
Gael did not respond immediately but continued mulling over in his thoughts.
Firstly, Native Americans place great importance on tribal and blood relations, so no matter what crime Dieter had committed, he would definitely try every means to save him.
Secondly, there was still the issue at hand.
As the chieftain of the tribe, if he couldn't even save his own nephew, it would be a great blow to his credibility.
So now it wasn't just a matter of whether to save Dieter but also an issue that escalated to his ruling over the tribe!
"Go, contact Senator Marcus, and tell him to come visit us!"
The reason why Gael's Indian Tribe held so much power in Las Vegas wasn't just because of their connection with important figures.
The main reason was their tens of thousands of tribespeople, plus others who came to the reservation for employment, totaling up to 70 or 80 thousand people.
Don't underestimate these 70 or 80 thousand people.
That's 70 or 80 thousand votes.
Positions like Governor, Deputy Governor, as well as other legislators and senators, all require the support of these votes.
Therefore, the Indian Tribe holding 70 to 80 thousand votes naturally became an important target for all sides to curry favor with.
Over the years, the tribe had been a staunch supporter of Angstorm, but now that Angstorm was acting unruly, it didn't matter.
If worse came to worse, they would simply switch their support to someone else!
Of course, on the condition that this 'someone else' must help them settle Dieter's matter first!
"Senator Marcus? Good, I'll contact him personally!"
Tewin, grasping Gael's intention, immediately turned to make the arrangements.
...
As the sun set in the west and evening approached,
The three inspection teams from the National Tax Bureau Lakeside District Sub-Bureau that had been out on a raid operation gradually returned, assembling in the 3rd-floor Inspector's Office.
Before long, David came downstairs. Seeing the triumphant expressions on the faces of the various teams, he knew that today's operation must have had a bountiful harvest.
After surveying everyone, he asked, "How did it go, everyone? Was the operation smooth? Did anyone get injured or anything of the sort?"
From their expressions, it seemed there were no casualties.
But as the Chief Tax Officer, he needed to show some concern for his subordinates.
Nis was the first to stand up and report, "No casualties in our inspector team, and the mission was completed successfully. We found 50 pounds of narcotics at the scene, along with 300 kilograms of various contraband, plus one million US dollars in cash."
"Our inspector team had no casualties either, we found 60 pounds of narcotics on site, 250 kilograms of various contraband, and seized 960,000 US dollars in cash."
The one reporting now was a member of Hector's team.
Next, a member of Hutton's team stood up and shared, "Our inspection team also has no casualties. We found 53 pounds of narcotics, 300 kilograms of various contraband at the scene, and seized 920,000 dollars in cash!"
After hearing the reports from the inspection teams, David finally understood why they were so overjoyed.
Not to mention the contraband from the three warehouses, the cash alone added up to nearly three million US dollars.
And with these three million US dollars, even if they just shared a small amount among the teams' heads, it would be enough for them not to struggle for three assessment periods, so of course, they would be happy.
"Good, let's end today's task here. Starting tomorrow, we'll initiate an arrest operation targeting the core members, mid-level staff, and the underlings of the Ditter Group!" brought-to-you-by-NovelFire
Now that Dieter's accounts had been frozen and his warehouses raided, the only thing left was to extract value from his personnel.
After that's done, they could officially clean up Dieter!
After the meeting, as he had asked a relocation company to help him move this morning, David found Nisen and Bucky, hoping that the two would lend him a hand.
