American tax officials

Chapter 302 Next time, let's drive our family's Kennedy!

"Mr. Sean, is there a problem with this?"

David wasn't in a hurry to answer. He was more curious as to why the other person was so eager to know when this matter didn't seem to have much to do with them.

"Please tell me first, is this really true?"

Sean's tone was still somewhat urgent, but after saying that, he realized that his tone was not quite right, and quickly added, "Director David, this matter is indeed quite important to me and even to our Kennedy family, but I need to confirm with you first, and then I will explain it to you."

David thought for a moment. After all, they were now in an alliance, and there was no need to hurt their feelings by hiding this. He then replied, "Yes, it's true."

"So, it's true that Satoshi Nakamoto represents a certain group, or perhaps the mysterious Illuminati?"

"Since you already know, Mr. Sean, why ask me again?"

"So you mobilized the Washington fleet to go out and blockade that legendary Bright Island they've been talking about?"

Sean continued to ask questions.

But David was getting impatient and replied bluntly, "Mr. Sean, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I know that the Freemasons also have an island off the east coast of New York called Senado Island. If such an opportunity ever comes, I have a request."

Tell me about it.

"I hope that Director David will be going with the 'Kennedy Fleet' then."

The reason Sean was so eager to confirm this with David after seeing the aircraft carrier fleet was precisely because of this.

The Kennedy family and the Freemasons have a deep-seated blood feud.

No matter how they retaliate against this grudge, it will never truly satisfy their entire family.

After all, if the Freemasons hadn't killed their president and a series of promising young stars, the Kennedy family's glory would certainly not be what it is today.

After the Washington Post broke the news about the aircraft carrier incident, Sean and his family were immediately inspired.

Since David could deploy the USS Washington fleet to surround the Illuminati's Island of Light, why couldn't he do the same to the Freemasons' Senado Island?

If David were to sail the aircraft carrier fleet named after their president to Senado Island next time and give those Freemasons a good thrashing, it would not only be a way to appease the spirit of their family's president in heaven, but most importantly, they couldn't think of any other form of revenge that would be more satisfying.

Didn't you Freemasons kill our president back then? Haven't you been hunting down our family's rising stars all these years? Now, a fleet named after our family's president is right in front of you. Go ahead and keep jumping around!

Having said that, David finally understood. So that's why Sean reacted so strongly to the news…

However, he quickly remembered something and replied into the phone, "Mr. Sean, as far as I know, the old Kennedy was decommissioned in 07, and the new Ford-class Kennedy is still under construction, so..."

If such an opportunity arises again, he certainly wouldn't mind which aircraft carrier to use.

But as he said, the Kennedy is not yet in service. Even if he wanted to surround the so-called Senado Island, he couldn't possibly sail there in this unfinished ship, could he?

"The Ford-class USS Kennedy was built in 09 and is expected to enter service next year, so I don't think that should be a problem, Chief of Staff David."

Given the Freemasons' strength, and considering that David hasn't even entered the Washington headquarters yet, they definitely won't be able to take down this organization in a short time, so there's no need to worry about not having enough time.

However, Sean secretly hoped that the first mission the new Kennedy would undertake after entering service would be an operation against the Freemasons' Senado Island.

The only question is whether this wish can actually be fulfilled.

"Mr. Sean, given our current cooperative relationship, I would definitely help if such an opportunity arises, but only if such an opportunity exists."

The Freemasons are different from the Illuminati; this organization has a much greater influence in the United States.

Now that the other side probably knows about the Illuminati's ordeal, they will surely learn from it, so David can't guarantee that he won't have such an opportunity again.

However, even if he had such an opportunity, he would definitely hold back before entering the headquarters, and wouldn't directly slap them in the face like he did with the Illuminati.

After all, the Freemasons have influence in all walks of life, and they have a history of atrocities, such as assassinating the president, so we have to be wary of them resorting to desperate measures.

"understand!"

Judging from the current trend, a conflict between David and the Freemasons is inevitable, so Sean doesn't need to worry too much about not being able to create such an opportunity.

"Oh, by the way, the funding for the W Act is almost ready. I've already received word that the Freemasons are planning to take some action. Our family will do our best to hold off and manage the Onsa Group, but you need to be careful too."

Sean changed the subject and reminded him.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

After ending the call, David's gaze gradually deepened.

Yes, the funds for the W Act are almost ready. If Onsa Group gets the money, will it still do its best to withstand the pressure from the Freemasons? Or will it choose to withdraw due to other factors? These are variables that we really need to think about.

……

Since the Washington Post broke the story, the entrance to the Los Angeles IRS has been surrounded by a dense crowd of reporters in an effort to verify the authenticity of the aircraft carrier incident.

To avoid trouble, after returning, David and his group did not enter the station through the main gate, but instead entered discreetly through a side door.

Upon learning of his return, a group of high-ranking officials in the bureau immediately came to find him. As for the reasons for seeking him out, there were two main points.

When David led the fleet to Bright Island, he was afraid that mentioning it would leak the news, so he only told these people that he would leave for a few days to deal with Satoshi Nakamoto's matter, but he did not say much about the specific details.

So, even the higher-ups in the bureau weren't entirely clear on how the 200 billion was recovered.

Upon seeing the news report in the media, they were naturally shocked and wanted to know if it was true.

As for the second point, I would like to ask how the Los Angeles IRS should handle this matter now that it has become such a big deal and the whole world wants to know the truth.

David pondered for a moment, then instructed Nissen, "Here's what we'll do: hold a press conference, and you, on behalf of the Los Angeles IRS, will issue a denial."

"Yes, Chief."

Soon after, the media received news that the Los Angeles IRS was going to hold a press conference, and they all followed the instructions to wait in the lobby on the first floor.

However, everyone seemed somewhat disappointed when they saw Nissen arrive instead of David.

"Dear friends from the media, I am here on behalf of the Los Angeles IRS to make a statement regarding the news reported by the Washington Post. We hereby deny the allegations. As for Satoshi Nakamoto's $200 billion, we did not use any aircraft carriers to seize it from overseas. However, the method of its recovery involves our confidentiality regulations and is not suitable for the public. We hope you can understand!"

After Nissen finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out in the room.

Putting aside the fact that the Washington Post's report was well-founded, many new clues have been obtained in recent times thanks to the probing and investigation by various media outlets.

All these clues point to the USS Washington carrier fleet, which must have been instructed by David to go out for a few days.

But now that the Los Angeles IRS has come out to deny it, who's going to believe that?

"Inspector Nixon, if the USS Washington fleet wasn't mobilized by your IRS, why did it suddenly leave port for several days during resupply time?"

"Inspector Nissen, our investigation shows that the departure of the USS Washington and the disappearance of Director David occur within the same few days. How do you explain this?"

"..."

Faced with a barrage of questions from the media, Nissen remained completely unfazed, calmly replying, "Regarding Washington's departure, I think you'll have to ask the military. As for why our director didn't appear during those days, it was due to work requirements that couldn't be disclosed. Alright, I've said everything I needed to say; let's leave it at that!"

After saying that, he strode away, leaving behind the media personnel who were still discussing the matter.

Shortly after the Los Angeles IRS issued a denial, the U.S. Navy also held a press conference, similarly denying the aircraft carrier fleet incident.

"Heh, first the IRS, then the Navy Department. These two departments seem to have formed a tacit agreement. I think it's definitely true!"

"All indications suggest that David must have left port with the USS Washington during the days he disappeared, but we don't know where they went."

"For Director David to send an aircraft carrier fleet to intimidate them, it seems that Satoshi Nakamoto must be no ordinary person. I just don't know what his identity is."

"..."

Although both departments involved denied the allegations, it did not stop the various speculations and discussions among netizens on major social media platforms.

Of course, David had already issued a denial statement, and he couldn't care less how these people continued to question him.

After compiling the information on various cryptocurrency companies, he ordered several departments to check it in detail, intending to send it directly to the companies after confirming that there were no problems.

Early the next morning.

At Ethereum headquarters, Viklin was handling matters in his office.

Just then, his secretary knocked on the door and came in with a thick file folder. After placing it on the table, he said, "Mr. Viklin, this is from the Los Angeles IRS."

Upon hearing that it was sent by the Los Angeles IRS, Wakelin's expression immediately turned serious. He took the file folder, opened it, and began to examine it.

But as the contents of the book appeared before his eyes, his expression changed drastically, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

These documents contain a lot of confidential information about their company, such as the source of illegal funds and the data on their Ethereum transactions used by criminals.

It's fair to say that if the IRS were to take these documents to court, Ethereum would be utterly unable to defend itself.

"Fuck you, how did they get all this?!"

After being lost in thought for a while, Viklin finally came to his senses and slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.

He couldn't understand how David had managed to gather such confidential information about their company.

"Have Wollaston and Lance come to the conference room."

Viklin stood up and walked out, filled with rage.

Soon, Ethereum's top executives who received the message arrived at the conference room one after another, and when they saw Viklin's frighteningly dark face, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Instead of offering an explanation, Viklin tossed the document in front of a high-ranking official next to him and said, "Take a look at this, everyone."

The executive immediately picked it up and examined it carefully, but soon his face turned extremely ugly, and he subconsciously cursed, "Fuck!"

At this point, the others didn't care about anything else and immediately gathered around. But after seeing it, everyone's expression was the same.

"We underestimated David. No wonder he's been silent these past few days; it seems he's been secretly preparing to make trouble for us."

"Although we don't know how he got all this, we're now at a disadvantage..."

"Heh, he even managed to get his hands on such confidential data. I think there's a mole in our company, isn't there?"

Upon hearing the mention of the mole, many of the high-ranking officials present immediately tensed up, their eyes widening in alarm, as if afraid of being named.

"Don't try to demoralize us. Everyone here is on our side. No one would sell out the company for the IRS. He must have obtained these things through other means."

Viklin knew he couldn't afford to panic, so he quickly stepped forward to speak and reassure everyone.

"Mr. Viklin, no matter what, now that David has these things in his hands, we certainly can't remain indifferent any longer. I think the best option now is to do what Bitcoin and Binance did and pay up to avoid further trouble."

Hearing what this high-ranking official said, many people present wanted to object, but the words stuck in their throats.

I am the fish on the chopping block.

Before, when the IRS didn't have any dirt on them, they could have played dead. But now, not only do they have dirt on them, but they've also sent it over as a warning. If they continue to pretend, they might receive a court summons next.

But going to court won't just mean losing money to avoid trouble; they might end up in jail for tax evasion.
