"Operating without a license? Tax evasion?"
Mephisto looked confused.
Can the laws of the human world be applied to hell?
"That's right, Your Excellency Mephisto, first of all, I have no prejudice against hell, and I also maintain an equal attitude towards devils."
Luke raised his head and said loudly.
"So this is definitely not a personal vendetta or retaliation."
Mephisto is full of disbelief, you are obviously targeting me!
"Mr. Master, are you stretching your hand too wide?"
The old devil said with a sharp voice and angrily.
"Don't think of the human world as your own Kamar-Taj giving orders. There is no need for humans to abide by the rules set by Three Sanctuaries. Likewise, the laws of the human world are invalid against mages and devils."
"Besides, what position do you have to interfere with the laws of the world? Doesn't Kamar-Taj claim to be independent from the world and never ask questions about this world?"
Mephisto crossed his arms and kept sneering.
He was holding back a burst of anger in his heart. If he hadn't been afraid of that pure white light and the power of Vishanti, he would have rushed forward and ripped off the other person's head!
Not every Sorcerer Supreme is as powerful as Agamotto or the Ancient One.
The old devil thought so.
Kamar-Taj has produced two generations of strong men in a row, so it's time to stretch out the crotch.
"I tolerated it again and again, just because of the devil's good qualities, definitely not because of fear."
Mephisto said silently.
He felt that his patience was reaching its breaking point.
The other party is Sorcerer Supreme, but he comes here to educate the big devil in hell. Isn't this because he is full and has nothing to do?
Mephisto acts his whole life, why should he explain to mortals!?
Not to mention obeying the laws of Federal Government, he didn't even pay attention to the precepts promulgated by Three Sanctuaries.
Just sneak over here and wander around the world.
Tax evasion?
This charge made the old devil want to laugh.
If you have the ability, the tax bureau can chase him to hell and collect the missed taxes from him personally.
"You mean, I'm not qualified?"
Luke's tone was as usual, without any anger.
"Whether it's earth, hell, or Kamar-Taj, there is a set of rules for normal operation."
Mephisto said in a deep voice.
"Interfering casually will only lead to worse consequences."
"Even if my Hell Hotel does not comply with the laws of the world, it is not your turn to deal with it."
The old devil continued to use words to force the opponent to stop.
He has made it very clear that the laws of this world have no control over hell.
Even if he can manage it, it's not Sorcerer Supreme's turn to dictate.
"I'm sorry, in fact, besides being Sorcerer Supreme, I am also the descendant of Lieutenant General and S.H.I.E.L.D. from the Pentagon."
Luke raised the corner of his mouth and revealed his trump card.
He looked at Mephisto, who was confused again, and said slowly, "With my identity and scope of authority, I can completely replace the tax bureau in dealing with those social bugs who operate illegally and evade taxes."
"So, let's continue talking about your Hell Hotel's immediate suspension of business for rectification and payment of fines."
The old devil's head was a mess, and his thoughts were like intricately tangled threads that he couldn't sort out at all.
"Who are you anyway?"
After a long silence, Mephisto asked again.
He has just come to the world, and he doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers or watching TV on weekdays. It's normal for him to know Superman.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what you are going to do, Mr. Mephisto?"
Luke put away his smile, a hint of danger appeared in his eyes.
"Are you going to violently resist the law, or accept the punishment?"
That pure white light suddenly shined brightly.
Terrifying fluctuations shook the space.
The solid, thick vault seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment.
"I am Hell Lord, and human laws are by no means a shackles to imprison me!"
Mephisto's face twitched, and in the most ruthless tone, he gave the most cowardly answer, "But since Sorcerer Supreme is acting on his behalf, it's okay."
Luke was a little regretful, he originally wanted to give the old devil a beating.
After all, Sorcerer Supreme is incomplete without beating Mephisto.
It's just that if the other party behaves well, no matter how aggressive you are, it's easy to look like a villain.
"It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, just know how to correct them. Even when dealing with the devil, I will maintain a fair and just attitude."
Luke smiled and looked at the neatly stacked gold bricks in an incalculable amount.
Mephisto is a little flustered. Sorcerer Supreme is trying to cut my leeks, right?
What does he want the soul to do?
Kamar-Taj does not belong to either of the two camps of heaven and hell.
Trinity Vishanti has little demand for souls.
If the earth is compared to a large market, heaven and hell occupy an absolute monopoly.
About 80% of the souls flowed into these two camps, and then they took turns to get the various gods and Dimensional Demon God.
"About Hell Hotel, first of all, you do not have a business license, which is an illegal act. According to normal channels, you need to stop your business immediately, resubmit your application to the city government, and pay a certain amount of fines."
Luke withdrew his gaze and looked at the uneasy Mephisto.
"This is not an unsolvable problem. The local government of Las Vegas is very supportive of entrepreneurs like you."
A wry smile appeared on the corner of the old devil's mouth, and his intuition told him that the main event was coming later.
As expected, Luke did not give up. After a moment of pause, he continued, "But in the federal government, tax evasion is an extremely serious act!"
There is a proverb in the United States, "The only things in the world that are Eternity are death and taxes."
I believe that there is no need to say more about the story of Mafia Al Capone, who finally fell into the hands of a diligent accountant and was sent to prison because he failed to pay taxes on time.
Since then, three classic sayings have spread among gangsters:
Heavy machine guns are easier to use than submachine guns. You must pay taxes to Federal Government on time, and you must wear condoms when having sex.
Similarly, there are three stupidest, most idiotic, and most deadly things in the world——
Drug trafficking in the Celestial Empire, hostage-taking in Russia Thaddeus Ross, and tax evasion in the United States.
Through the above cautionary advice, it is not difficult to see how difficult it is for the tax bureau to deal with it.
"So, Mr. Mephisto, you will not only have to pay the missed taxes, but you will also be subject to a large fine and a long period of imprisonment."
Luke showed an embarrassed look of "I can't help you", and the old devil was already cursing in his heart.
"Oh, what prison in the world can hold me?"
Mephisto worked hard to maintain the last bit of dignity of Hell Lord.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. happened to cooperate with Kamar-Taj and jointly prepared a 'special prison' to imprison fallen mages, evil creatures, and hell devils."
Luke smiled, as if giving a reminder.
"Then Mr. Mage, what can you do?"
The old devil said weakly.
He has already seen that this Sorcerer Supreme is more annoying than Agamotto and more shameless than the Ancient One.
In fact, it is to coerce yourself into paying a certain price.
To put it bluntly, if you don't pay the protection fee and don't get benefits, Hell Hotel can't even think about driving it anymore.
"This is simply a robber! A bully! The Ancient One is so ignorant that he allowed such a bastard to become Sorcerer Supreme!"
Mephisto cursed bitterly.
After silently venting his emotions in his heart, the old devil still had to wait for Luke to come up with the conditions.
I hope it won't go too far, otherwise I won't be able to wait for you in this world!
"Mephisto, Your Excellency, have you ever considered bringing in other hell devils to establish a complete joint-stock company?"
Luke picked up a "gold brick" and said calmly, "Las Vegas's market is too small. We can definitely expand this business to the whole world."
"At that time, it will be listed in the market in three years, become the top ten in the world in five years, and surpass the paradise in ten years... it will not be a problem at all."
Mephisto was stunned again.
Hell Holdings, a hotel chain around the world?
ps: Woohoo, this vicious cycle of Netherworld Schedule has started again. I still owe Alliance Master an update. I'm crying.
ps2: Give me some time and I will work hard to pay off the debt (T_T)
