Chapter 120: Chapter 100: Think You're Cool? Then You're Arrested!_4
"You just take care of Gray's situation, and don't speak of anything else!"
"Alright, I understand!"
After ending the call, Senator Angstorm immediately put on his suit jacket, then called for his driver and headed toward the Indian Reservation.
About 40 minutes later, Senator Angstorm arrived at the gate of the Chieftain's family estate.
"Senator, ."
As soon as Senator Angstorm got out of the car, a Native American guard immediately stepped forward to inquire.
"Tell Chief Gael I want to see him!"
"Please follow me, Senator!"
The guard led Senator Angstorm to the same hall where they had talked that morning and then said, "Please wait a moment, Senator, I'll go inform the Chieftain right away!"
About 10 minutes later.
Chief Gael arrived at the scene with Tewin and other high-ranking Native Americans, and Dieter was among them.
Seeing Senator Angstorm's grim face, the Native Americans suddenly sensed that something was amiss, and Gael was the first to ask, "Senator Angstorm, what's the matter?"
Senator Angstorm first glanced at Dieter, then said, "Regarding the matter of your tribesman, I'm afraid I'm not able to help much anymore!"
A deputy mayor had already fallen.
And he did not know whether he was under investigation by the IRS, so the best choice now was to pull out and retreat, in order to avoid the fire spreading to himself.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Native Americans present all darkened, and Dieter's expression became particularly anxious.
As the effects of the contraband drugs dissipated, his mind cleared considerably.
Now, as one influential senator after another expressed their inability to help, he felt the seriousness of the situation was escalating.
Gael spoke in a heavy tone, "Senator Angstorm, what exactly happened?"
"As you requested, I had someone go to the IRS with a proposal to try and play down the situation, but..."
Senator Angstorm immediately explained the incident of Gray being thrown into a detention cell by the IRS.
After understanding the cause and effect, the Native Americans present were stunned.
They might not fully grasp the significance of the IRS, but they were quite clear about the weight of a deputy mayor.
But now, a deputy mayor went to the IRS hoping to resolve the matter, only to be thrown directly into prison by the IRS?
Had Senator Angstorm not told them himself, they would have never believed it.
Meanwhile, Dieter's emotions were exceedingly complex.
He had thought his way of doing things was domineering enough, but it turned out to be insignificant in front of the IRS.
After all, in confronting someone like a deputy mayor, he still had a certain reverence.
But the IRS, not to mention showing any reverence, did not even offer a facade of respect, throwing him directly into detention.
"Senator Angstorm, this... this can't be possible, can it? We are talking about a deputy mayor here, how can the IRS act so outrageously?" Tewin responded, questioning.
Senator Angstorm glanced at him and said, "If the IRS dares to take down a deputy mayor like that, they must be absolutely confident, otherwise they couldn't handle the aftermath, there's no need to question that!"
"This..."
Tewin was speechless, paused for a moment, then said, "Then, Senator Angstorm, isn't there any other way we could try, we can't just admit defeat, can we?"
Senator Angstorm, slightly irritated by the comment, replied, "I have no more options, if this continues, I could even become involved!"
Having said that, he turned to look at Dieter and added, "At the end of the day, when the IRS comes to you demanding taxes, if you had just paid, it would have been over, why resist? They would have only taken maybe 40% of your income, and you would still have had plenty left over!" -chapter
"Even if you chose not to pay, that's okay, at most they would have just detained you, but you shouldn't have chosen such a foolish method as an assassination attempt!"
