Chapter 841: Chapter 421: Taking Down the New York State Governor_2

Following the bold steps of this courageous man, David arrived at the hall, where Governor Derick also immediately stood up, approached with a welcoming smile, and extended his right hand, saying, “Chief Inspector David, welcome to your arrival.”

“Really welcome?”

Watching David’s seemingly mocking demeanor, a hint of displeasure flashed through Derick’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed as he asked, “Chief Inspector David, I’ll skip the small talk. What brings you to the Governor’s Mansion this time?”

“Nothing much, I heard that the Governor has had some friends over recently to catch up, but these friends have had some issues detected by our Internal Revenue Service, so I just wanted to have a chat with them.”

“Are you talking about Benson, Conrad, and Pezela? They did indeed come to visit to reminisce, and they are good friends of mine. I can vouch for their character and guarantee that they would never engage in tax evasion. Please rest assured, Chief Inspector David!”

“Whether they are involved or not is not for you, Governor, to decide. That’s for our Internal Revenue Service to determine!”

Seeing how low he had stooped, yet still facing such an ungrateful attitude, Derick could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction and said directly, “Chief Inspector David, this is the Governor’s Mansion of New York State, the political heart of the entire state. Even if you’re determined, you must maintain some respect!”

His underlying message was, “I am, after all, the Governor of New York State, and this is my mansion, aren’t you going to give me any respect at all?”

“Being in the Governor’s Mansion doesn’t matter, and Governor, you don’t matter either!”

“According to legal regulations, the Internal Revenue Service has the authority to oversee and govern any citizen of America!”

“Governor, apart from your friends, we now suspect your involvement in a tax evasion case, and we are officially issuing a summons for you!”

This time, he had come not only for those candidates but also for the Governor himself, so there was no room left for politeness.

Hearing that he was being summoned, even the experienced Derick was momentarily stunned.

He knew David was always audacious, but he had not expected him to come into his mansion and announce the summons in person.

He was the Governor of New York State, not some insignificant small fry.

“Take him away!”

David’s commanding words jolted Derick back to reality. Discarding his thoughts, he burst out furiously, “Damn it, David, you dare touch me!”

“I’ve told you, Governor, our Internal Revenue Service has the authority to oversee and review any citizen of America. If you have something to say, come back to the office and we’ll talk properly!”

“Damn it, very well, David, you will pay for this…”

Derick continued to curse furiously.

But Manson and the others didn’t care about that; they moved forward to restrain him.

And while the security personnel at the Governor’s Mansion might have been wary of David, seeing their master being treated this way meant they could no longer stay calm and stepped forward to intervene.

“What, do you think I didn’t bring enough people today and fancy arm wrestling with us?”

The security personnel couldn’t meet David’s gaze but still tightly shielded Derick behind them.

“In that case, Jerry, call the armed base in New York State, let them…”

“No need, since you want to summon me and are prepared to face the consequences, I will go with you!”

Angry as he was, Derick, who had become the Governor of New York State, still had self-control.

He knew David was no ordinary man; if this bastard said he would call in the armed forces, he actually would–it wasn’t just a threat.

To avoid further public scrutiny, he decided it was better not to act tough for now.

Of course, it was also because he realistically couldn’t stand up against the Internal Revenue Service Armed Forces.

“Very well.”

David gave Derick a knowing look.

And once Derick was taken away, Larin immediately initiated a search of the mansion and soon brought the three congressional candidates before David.

“Benson, Conrad, Pezela, gentlemen, hello.”

“Humph, Chief Inspector David, you really carry quite an air, showing up at the Governor’s mansion like this!”

Though fearful of David deep down, they were still people of the Freemasonry Group and were on their own turf, so they naturally had to speak boldly.

“You’ve violated tax laws, so we had to come looking for you. It’s not about showing off.”

“Heh, David, this is the Governor’s Mansion. Aren’t you afraid this will incite public anger?”

“If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have come.”

“Where’s Governor Derick?”

After looking around for a while and not seeing Derick, Candidate Benson changed his tone and asked.

“Well asked, Governor Derick is involved in some tax cases and has been taken away by me for investigation.”

“What did you say!”

Upon hearing this, the three of them were massively shocked. They had originally thought that David was there to target them, but unexpected to them was the fact that not only were they targeted, even the esteemed Governor of New York State had been taken away.

David didn’t say anything more and then began to use the inspection function to size up the three men…

[Name: Benson Dominique.]

[Occupation: Congressman Candidate of America.]

[Monthly income: 13,600 US dollars.]

[Gray income: Four hundred twenty thousand US dollars.]

[Detailed income information: On December 7, received campaign funds from the IO Group, profiting one hundred thousand US dollars, December 19…]

[Tax due: 168,000 US dollars.]

…

[Name: Conrad Wadlow.]

[Occupation: Congressman Candidate of America]

[Monthly income: 14,500 US dollars.]

[Monthly gray income: Six hundred seventy thousand US dollars.]

[Detailed income information:…]

[Tax due:…]

…

[Name: Pezela Vont.]

[Occupation: Congressman Candidate of America.]

[Monthly income: 14,450 US dollars.]

[Gray income: One hundred ten thousand US dollars.]

[Detailed income information:…]

[Tax due:….]

“Alright gentlemen, please take a seat before we continue,” David said after inspecting the information of the three men.

The men exchanged glances, and though they hadn’t recovered from the shock of Derick being taken away, they slowly sat down on the sofa.

“Gentlemen, I know that because you’ve received some financial backing, you might have promised some groups to do certain things for them in Congress if you succeed in your campaigns, but these actions are not in my favor, I would not like you to do these things for them, so, this is a misunderstanding that can be resolved. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this from David, the three candidates were stunned.

After hearing that Derick had been taken down, they were somewhat prepared mentally, but they hadn’t expected David to say it was a misunderstanding?

What did that mean?

Was he showing them leniency?

But that didn’t make sense either!

David dared to directly storm into the Governor’s Mansion, even taking the Governor down on the spot, how could he just let them go?

“What do you mean by that?”

The one who asked this was Pezela.

“It means nothing more than what I’ve said, this ‘might’ be a misunderstanding, do you agree?”

The three looked at each other once more.

In the end, it was Lipezela who first said, “I think… it probably is.”

Although they didn’t know why David seemed intent on giving them a break.

But in the current situation, only a fool wouldn’t go along with David’s words. After all, now they were like fish on the chopping block and when given a choice, there was no point in truly resisting.
