"David!"
Smith's expression changed dramatically.
"What is it, you know him?"
He had come to Smith specifically to deal with this matter; if Smith knew David, then perhaps things would be easier to resolve.
Smith regained some composure and spoke gravely, "This guy is not to be trifled with. Recently, many people in our Lake District have taken a fall because of him..."
Although he wasn't part of the National Tax Bureau system, he still knew a thing or two about what was going on there.
What he had learned thus far was that David had been performing exceptionally well lately, leading to his extraordinary promotion to the position of Chief Tax Officer.
And when he had received this news, he was indeed shocked beyond measure.
David had previously threatened him, demanding that he pay his taxes. To be honest, it was more about his fear of the National Tax Bureau; he wasn't particularly intimidated by an inspector like David.
