American Tax Officer

By this time, they had roughly understood that a private charter plane carrying all members of the Camora Family had already taken off and was the subject of heated discussion.

"What do you say, since the plane has already been in the air for so long, why are the folks from the Tax Authority still waiting here doing nothing?"

"Not sure, do they still hope they could turn around and come back willingly?"

"They must have a reason to wait here, let's just keep watching,"

"Director David is here!"

The media personnel were all talking at once, but the next second one of them suddenly shouted, and everyone turned their heads to see David coming down from the departure lounge.

The reason David was there in person, of course, was not wanting to miss the grand occasion of the jet intercepting the Camora Family's charter plane back, as it was another great opportunity for publicity, both for the Tax Authority and for himself.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

As the media were speculating and guessing about David's arrival, suddenly a deafening sonic boom caused everyone to instinctively look up.

But when they focused their gaze, the sight that met their eyes left them dumbfounded.

In the sky, two fighter jets were 'escorting' a Boeing airliner back towards the airport.

"What... what's going on?"

"Did the Tax Authority call in our Air Force for assistance?"

"Impossible, the air force base is a good distance from us, there's no way they could have intercepted that Boeing airplane so quickly, so these two fighter jets are very likely to be owned by the Tax Authority itself!"

"..."

Initially, the media personnel subconsciously thought that the Tax Authority might have asked the Air Force to intercept the plane, but after some analysis, they realized it was probably the National Tax Bureau Armed Department that had been sent out.

"Valda Law, it's actually F-22 and F-35 fighter jets!"

"These two seem to be F-22 and F-35 jets, the Tax Authority actually has fighter jets of this caliber?"

"That's normal. Didn't Director David lead an armed incursion into the Indian Tribe last time, and publicly deployed these types of fighters then?"

"That's right, since the Nevada State Tax Bureau's Armed Department used fighters of this caliber last time, it's only natural for our California Tax Authority's Armed Department to have these jets."

As the fighter jets drew closer to the airport.

Upon clearly seeing the two jets, the media reporters and viewers online were even more flabbergasted.

A few months ago, David led armed forces into the Indian Tribe, and though the Tax Authority deployed a lot of weapons and equipment, many people in California only found out through the internet and other channels. They didn't have the first-hand, shocking experience of being there in person.

Now, they were witnessing with their own eyes the Tax Authority's F-22 and F-35 fighting jets escorting back the Boeing plane that attempted to escape, the visual impact was indeed huge,

Besides the media reporters and passengers on the scene, the Californian citizens who were watching the livestream were also incredibly stirred at this moment.

Of course, those who felt the most panic and unease were the gangs, drug dealers, and criminals in Los Angeles.

They had learnt through various channels that their 'big brother' leader, the Camora Family, under pressure from the Tax Authority over the past two days, had decided to return to Italy to lay low for a while.

And the airplane they were on was the very one that the Tax Authority's armed air force was intercepting at this moment.

This is the Camora Family that has ruled over Los Angeles for more than a decade or two. Yet they couldn't escape even if they tried. If the National Tax Bureau were to start moving against these minor Karamis, wouldn't they be just fish on the chopping block?

Oh no, perhaps not even fish.

To the National Tax Bureau, these minor Camoras might as well be just ants.

With this thought, the criminals in Los Angeles, California, and across the country who were watching the live broadcast began to feel fear about their continuous support for attacking the Valda Law over the past few days.

Some of them had even made up their minds to no longer support the attack on the Valda Law, lest they end up like the Camora Family, singled out by the Western Suburb Branch to be made an example of.

In California, at the Sacramento State Legislature, this building not only houses the offices of many high-ranking officials of the state but also the California Legislature itself. Since California is one of the most important states in America, the building is also known as the "Little White House," the political heart of California.

At this moment, on the seventh floor of the Legislature Building, Peristedan hurried into an office. Inside, Phipps was planning his next steps in the attack against the Valda Law. Peristedan said, "Mr. Phipps, something big has happened!"

"Oh, what?"

Phipps stopped what he was doing, and Peristedan immediately went to his computer and opened a platform that was live streaming.

When Phipps looked closely, his face showed shock as he muttered, "What in the world is going on?"

"According to the information I've received, the Camora Family was planning to leave America to lay low, and their plane had already taken off. But David is ruthless— he actually had the Armed Department of the National Tax Bureau dispatch fighter jets to forcibly intercept and bring them back..."

After Peristedan's explanation, Phipps had a general understanding of the situation, but at the same time, his expression grew dark.

On the surface, while the Western Suburb Branch dispatched armed forces to intercept the Camora Family's private jet, the main purpose was to flex their muscles before everyone, especially to tell those criminals, should they dare to continue meddling in the attack on the Valda Law, that this would be their fate!

Clearly, no matter how ruthless or extreme the criminals were, upon witnessing the deployment of strategic-level weapons like the F-22 and F-35 fighters against them, they might not end up wetting themselves, but shaking in fear was a certainty.

Once they were too afraid to lend their support, what would be the point of all he had done?

Besides Phipps, the two Congressmen who had been incited by the Camora Family to get involved had also received the news.

Like Phipps, they too had a grim expression upon receiving the message.

Besides them, this sensational news, after being extensively broadcast and promoted by California's media, had also completely taken the state by storm.

At that moment, from the Governor to ordinary citizens in California, everyone stopped working, those who had TVs turned them on, and those with live streaming tools tuned in to watch the explosive news.

...

In the midst of these thoughts, at the Long Beach International Airport, the Boeing plane carrying the Camora Family landed first, under the 'escort' of two fighter jets. Accompanied by the whirring sound of the landing gear, the plane gradually came to a halt.

The Western Suburb Branch personnel, who had been waiting, drew their firearms and aimed them dead at the plane's cabin door.

Meanwhile, David picked up a megaphone and shouted at the plane, "Members of the Camora Family, you're now surrounded. Do not attempt to resist. Raise your hands and walk out, or you will suffer the consequences!"

Half a beat after he spoke, the cabin door of the airliner finally opened, and a deep voice came through.

"I am the captain of this plane, Tagouf. We're coming out now, without any weapons. Please do not open fire."

Though the people inside claimed this, Nisen and the others dared not let their guard down, keeping their weapons trained intently on the cabin door.

Before long, two individuals dressed in aviation attire emerged first with their hands raised, followed by the flight attendants. Only at the end did the members of the Camora Family come out with their hands up.

As most from the Western Suburbs Branch had anticipated, under such an encirclement, these individuals indeed did not dare put up a desperate struggle.
