Chapter 846: Chapter 424: Realized Your Mistake Only After There’s No Money Left to Claim?

Thinking of this, Mr. Manci dared not to show the slightest neglect, and quickly changed into formal attire and hurriedly drove towards the Manhattan Branch.

…

Manhattan Branch.

Led by Steinbeck, the protest leaders had turned pale and stood frozen in place for quite a while.

But what they hadn’t realized yet was that what awaited them would be a bloody lesson!

“Inspector David, you can’t do this!”

A man next to Steinbeck was the first to come to his senses, trembling as he realized the repercussions of the Internal Revenue Service cutting the social security funds on their own.

“So social security funds like relief and welfare payments, you said these had nothing to do with our Tax Bureau, and now they do?”

“You…”

David’s words left him choking, and also left Steinbeck and the others at a loss for how to rebut.

But before they could continue, suddenly, the sound of police sirens arose from all directions, and a large number of police arrived at the scene.

Since the New York City Police Commissioner, Kang Gua, had already been brought in, the one who had come to lead the team this time was Deputy Commissioner Jimmy Carter.

However, his complexion was terrible, and after coming to David’s side, he said in a low voice, “Chief Inspector David, you… this… sigh, a big problem has occurred!”

In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with David’s actions, which not only brought their commissioner in, tarnishing the reputation of the New York City Police Department, but now he had also announced the cutting of New York’s welfare funds; this could turn the city’s homeless and unemployed upside down.

The Internal Revenue Service might not have any issues.

But who would be unlucky?

Of course, the city’s law enforcement department, the Police Department!

But, dissatisfied as he was, thinking of David’s methods, he could only suppress his discontent as much as possible.

“What happened, Deputy Commissioner Carter?”

“After the Tax Bureau announced the cut in social security funds, the whole of New York…”

Carter relayed the news that the homeless and unemployed had begun to riot and were already armed and rushing towards them.

As the two were speaking, sudden bursts of clamor came from afar.

Looking up, they saw groups of homeless and unemployed people armed with sticks who had already arrived at the scene.

And the protesters, already pale in the face, were even more frightened at this sight, their legs softening.

Were these people coming for revenge against the Internal Revenue Service or against David?

Certainly not.

Had they dared to act against the Tax Bureau, the armed forces could come and flatten them in minutes.

So even if these people were foolish and furious, they would not make such a foolish move.

The reason for their arrival was self-evident–they were surely there to take revenge on these protesting crowds.

Indeed, it was precisely because of their protests here and their declarations that welfare payments and unemployment funds had nothing to do with the Tax Bureau that prompted the bureau to announce the cuts in a fit of rage!

“I still have some things to take care of, Deputy Commissioner Carter; I’ll leave this matter to you. But be careful, don’t let things get out of hand!”

This issue was a bit tricky for David, so after thinking it over, he decided it would be better not to get involved and turned to walk into the bureau.

“Damn it…”

Watching David’s retreating figure as he shifted the responsibility, Carter couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

So, all the mess was created by you, Chief Inspector David, and now you want me not to escalate the situation?

What a splendid way to pass the buck!

But displeased as he was, maintaining public order was ultimately the police department’s responsibility, so Carter did not continue to stand still. He quickly organized his subordinates to first get the situation under control.

Inside the bureau.

After walking in with David, Nehem quickly asked, “What should we do next, Chief Inspector David?”

“Contact our court and prepare for the trial.”

These past few days, David had arrested a fair number of officials from the Freemasonry Group, and even the Governor had been brought in by him; it was time to wrap things up.

“So, you’re going to hold a trial? Does that mean you’re confident enough to convict those people?”

After all, they were dealing with a large number of people this time, and to ensure everything went smoothly, Nehem still needed to be cautious.

“Don’t worry!”

“Alright then, I’ll go arrange it!”

Seeing David so confident, Nehem no longer wasted words and immediately turned and left to make arrangements.

As for David, he gave a few instructions to Manson, Jerry, and Lalin, and they also nodded and departed to handle their tasks.

…

Outside the Manhattan Branch, after a frantic drive, Mr. Manci finally arrived at the scene.

“Mr. Manci, you’ve finally come!”

With such a significant incident as the cut in social security funds, the Labor Department couldn’t just sit idly by, and their personnel had already arrived at the scene. The sight of Mr. Manci brought much relief to those present.

“What’s the situation now?”

Mr. Manci looked at the chaotic scenes around him and asked gravely.

“The police are in control, the situation isn’t too bad yet, but if this continues, it probably won’t be good…”

“First take me to see those leaders of the protesters!”

Labor Department personnel led Mr. Manci quickly to Steinbeck and the others, who were being guarded by the police.

Strictly speaking, however, they weren’t being guarded by police but had lingered close to them out of desperation, seeing how fierce the mob of homeless people was, to avoid being beaten to death.

“Fake Yau, Steinbeck, what the fuck are you doing?”

Steinbeck could stand at the center of this protest action and face David directly because he had some prestige within New York’s protest groups; hence, Mr. Manci knew him.
