Chapter 81 Corpse Tax Evasion (Part )
Lu Yan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes immediately looked at Shaq in front of him.

It seemed too much of a coincidence that he was about to trade important information when he encountered scrutiny by the law enforcement team.

But at this moment, Shaq's bloody face was full of confusion. He had never expected this to happen.

Noticing Lu Yan's unfriendly look, Shak suddenly shuddered, and then quickly explained:

"This matter of the law enforcement team has absolutely nothing to do with me. Please understand clearly!"

"This life and death arena is my foundation. How could I deliberately attract the law enforcement team and do something that would destroy my foundation?"

Lu Yan did not comment, but turned his attention back to the arena.

As the law enforcement team broke in, the entire arena fell silent at first, and then the noise immediately filled the entire arena, with scolding and provocations ringing out.

In all cities under the rule of the global giant corporation, there is only one law that everyone must abide by, and that is paying taxes!

This law runs through every aspect of the city, and no one dares to openly defy the law.

But at the same time, as long as taxes are paid on time, there are no restrictions on what you do in the Lower Town.

Those who can sit in the arena are basically those who can get along well, and at least pay the basic taxes on time.

Even if they openly insult the law enforcement team, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack, it will be difficult for them to do anything in public.

Amid the noise, a young man in a suit and tie took the initiative to greet the law enforcement team. He was the young man who had received Lu Yan and Quentin before.

With a smile on his face, he saluted to the many members of the law enforcement team with impeccable manners, and then said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"I am the manager of the arena. What do you intend to do by destroying the public facilities of our arena and wantonly interrupting the ongoing competition?"

"We are all law-abiding citizens in the Arena. We pay our taxes half a month in advance every month. The law enforcement team is bullying us taxpayers like this. Do they think the law is nothing?"

The young manager's words immediately resonated with thousands of viewers, many of whom spoke out in support.

“What fish have these corporate hyenas smelled?”

"We are all legal taxpayers. Should we be afraid of you hyenas?"

"Get out! Get out!"

The law enforcement team members wearing exoskeleton armor did not respond, but behind them, crisp footsteps were heard, and a slightly thin figure appeared in front of everyone.

He was not wearing exoskeleton armor like the law enforcement team. He was only about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a dark blue law enforcement uniform and a silver star hat. He was so fragile compared to the big guys around him who were at least 2.5 meters tall and wearing exoskeletons.

But no one dared to look down on him, because everyone could see that he was wearing a silver badge on his chest with a hand holding up the earth.

The moment he appeared, all law enforcement officers put down their guns and saluted in unison.

The originally noisy arena was now completely silent, and the curses that were about to come out were swallowed back.

That silver badge of a giant global enterprise represented that this unremarkable young man was an official law enforcement officer!

Each law enforcement officer must be a psychic from the upper city, and his strength is so powerful that it has reached an inhuman level.

However, individual strength is not enough to reflect the power of law enforcement officers, because law enforcement officers are appointed by the City Tax Bureau themselves, and they have the authority to mobilize the primary city defense system.

From the police and law enforcement teams to small psychic mechas and Morning Star-level tanks, all can be classified as the primary urban defense system.

In addition, law enforcement officers also have the discretionary power to levy taxes and can temporarily collect certain taxes from residents in the downtown area in advance.

Once the other party fails to pay the tax in time, the law enforcement officer can deal with them as tax evasion. Whether it is killing them on the spot or sending them to the Heaven Computing Center, it is all a matter of a law enforcement officer's words. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a license to kill. In the Lower City, a law enforcement officer once blocked an entire underground cave in the name of collecting underground cave taxes, killing nearly 10,000 residents in the city.

The law enforcement officer was later tried, but the chief judge ruled that the law enforcement officer had abused his power and killed civilians, and sent him to the Heavenly Computing Center to serve for two hundred years.

Does this sound like a fair trial?
But if you investigate the details of the trial, you will know that the main reason the Grand Justice gave for the trial was that the law enforcement officers chose to kill the people instead of sending them to the Heavenly Computing Center, which was a huge waste of soul resources.

If all of this ten thousand were sent to the Heaven Computing Center, the law enforcement officer would most likely not be punished.

There were too many notorious incidents involving the law enforcement officer in the Lower City, so the entire place was silent when the law enforcement officer appeared.

The young manager, who had always been calm, finally changed his expression. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and saluted the law enforcement officer:

"Meet His Excellency the Law Enforcement Officer!"

The law enforcement officer smiled calmly: "My name is Scott. I am here to handle an official matter. Don't be nervous."

Seeing Scott's gentle attitude, the young manager breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Law Enforcer Scott is handling official business, and we in the arena will fully cooperate with him."

"very good!"

Scott clapped his hands, and a member of the law enforcement team behind him immediately took out a scroll.

"After investigation, I found that your arena is suspected of evading the payment of psychic energy tax. I will arrest all the owners of the arena according to the law and escort them to the Heavenly Computing Center.

This is an arrest warrant issued by the City Taxation Bureau. Please take a look at it."

Avoid paying psychic tax!
As soon as these words were spoken, all the spectators in the arena looked at the young manager with admiration.

Everyone in the world knows that under the rule of the world's giant corporations, you can do anything as long as you have the ability, but you cannot escape the psychic tax.

Once this law is violated, even the big shots in the upper city can only go to the Heaven Computing Center to provide soul computing power.

The young manager's eyes widened immediately, and he said loudly with disbelief on his face:

"Marshal Scott, I think you have made a mistake.

Our arena has always paid all taxes half a month in advance, without a single default, not to mention such important taxes as the psychic tax."

"Do you think I'm wronging you?" Law Enforcement Officer Scott asked softly.

The young manager opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to respond.

"Don't be nervous. I'm completely different from those guys who only know how to use brute force. I've always been a stickler for rules."

As he spoke, Scott waved his right hand and a virtual screen appeared in front of everyone.

“As far as normal taxes and fees are concerned, your arena has indeed paid them on time, and there has been no default.

But... you sold the bodies of fighters who died in the ring in bulk to body processing factories, and the factories implanted intelligent programs to put the bodies into production lines for work.

The bodies of these fighters contain spiritual energy. After working in the corpse processing factory for a long time, the spiritual energy in their bodies has not dissipated but is still playing a role.

Your arena is the actual owner of the corpse, but you sit back and watch this kind of spiritual energy theft occur without actively reporting the tax. You are undoubtedly evading spiritual energy tax!"
