American tax officials

Chapter 309 Agreement Reached

"So, boss, how did the talks with them go? Were they relatively smooth?"

Simmons then changed the subject and asked.

David shook his head and said, "The three major families think too highly of themselves. In their eyes, I'm just a tool that can be used and used for profit."

Although the conversation with the Ansar Group was not pleasant, it allowed him to see their attitude towards him and get a sense of their true intentions, making the trip worthwhile.

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Nixon, Bucky, and Simmons exchanged bewildered glances.

If it were anyone else, they would have already stood up for them. But the Angsa Group is so powerful, and David is only a regional director. The difference in their status is too great, so it's not surprising that they don't take their director seriously.

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's all get some rest. We're heading back to Los Angeles tomorrow."

……

The following morning, David and his group returned to Los Angeles.

At noon that same day, the Freemason meeting was held once again on Senado Island.

Inside the council chamber, all seven families that control the Federal Reserve were present, along with California Governor Bogwana, the Disney family, and members from both the political and business spheres.

About five minutes later, Henrietta, supported by a servant, arrived at the head table and said, "Tell me, how are things going with the White House?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at a bespectacled man in a brown suit in the center of the room. His name was Kudus, and he was the current White House Deputy Assistant to the President, or the White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

The Freemasons entrusted him with the entire task of handling the presidential pardon of the Sackler family.

Under the gaze of so many people, Kudus's expression turned slightly embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as the Aid to W Act was passed, I conveyed this matter to the President, but the President was not very willing to make this decision. I'm sorry, Mr. Henrietta..."

"Kudus, how exactly did you speak to the president? Did you convey our group's message?"

Joshua Mogan raised a questioning tone, clearly dissatisfied with the other party's failure to persuade the president.

"I have conveyed the message completely, and the president is indeed aware that this is the intention of our entire group. However, he said that this matter involves two major forces, the Onsa Group and the IRS, so he dares not act rashly and needs to think it over carefully..."

"How long is he going to keep thinking about this?"

"I...I don't know."

"waste!"

Listening to Joshua's cursing, Cudus looked aggrieved. Although he was a Freemason, he was only a deputy chief of staff in the White House and dared not force the president to make a decision.

"It's only been three days since the Aid Bill was passed, and it's unrealistic to expect the president to make this decision in such a short time."

Prescott, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, wasn't angry. He actually thought the president's refusal was normal. However, he then seemed to remember something and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, by the way, Joshua, didn't I hear that the Illuminati came to you last time? They also want to deal with David. Shouldn't they get his help?"

"They are wary that David might target Bitcoin, so they made it clear that they wouldn't intervene personally, but they can provide us with financial support in this matter."

Hearing Joshua's words, many people in the audience seemed somewhat disappointed.

Although the Illuminati is not as powerful as the Freemasons, if the two major forces put pressure on the White House together, the White House is more likely to compromise.

Unfortunately, the Illuminati was hesitant to take action themselves due to fear of harming the innocent, thus losing a valuable ally.

"I don't think the White House's stance is the most important thing right now. The most important thing is the attitude of the Onsar Group. Now that the aid bill has been passed and they have received $1000 billion in funding, will they still stand in our way and prevent us from dealing with David?"

Bennett's words from the Disney family seemed to have awakened everyone present.

Bogwana, as if remembering something, looked around at everyone and said, "Oh right, last night the Onsa Group held a celebration banquet in Washington, D.C., and I heard they invited David to attend. They must have had direct talks. Has anyone received any news from inside the venue?"

"I did receive some news..."

Everyone turned to look, and it turned out that it was FBI Deputy Director Munoz who had said those words.

"I have reliable sources. Last night's dinner was attended by all four major families, and they had a direct conversation with David. Although I don't know the specific content of the conversation, based on information from various channels, I judge that the Onsa Group will definitely not give up on David, this golden goose, because the W Aid Act includes subsequent funding supplementary clauses..."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the room turned pale.

Why did they wait until the aid bill was passed before taking action against David?

To put it bluntly, it's because they're afraid of those Ansar people and don't want to directly break ties with them.

If the Ansar people want to protect David, then they'll probably have to break off relations even if they don't want to.

"But I don't think this is the worst thing for us."

"Oh? Munoz, what do you mean by that?"

Many people present were puzzled. If the Ansar Group's decision to continue protecting David wasn't the worst thing, then what would be the worst thing?

"In recent years, our Freemasonry has expanded too rapidly. We have people everywhere, from the White House to Congress. Do you think those Onsahs don't have any objections? No, they already have a lot of objections, but they just share our current thinking and don't want the two sides to completely break off relations!"

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

Hearing Joshua's question, Munoz calmly replied, "What I'm trying to say is that many of those Onsa people have probably already realized David's role, for example, that they can use him to weaken our strength. You understand?"

These words struck everyone present like a blow to the head, making them suddenly realize the truth.

Think for a second.

If Disney, Sackler, and these other families are all Ansar, would their Freemasons be happy to see these families being taken down by David?

The answer is definitely yes.

They were also hoping someone would step forward to weaken the Anssa people's power, so they could sit back and watch the two fight it out and then reap the benefits!

If they all have this idea, wouldn't the Anssa people have it too?

How is that possible!

They are not fools.

This group would certainly be happy to see David target their Freemasons.

Therefore, their continued protection of David is probably not just about safeguarding their own interests; they may also be using David as a weapon against them!

"If that's the case, then we can no longer be wary of the Ansar Group. We must subdue David first, no matter what!"

"That's right, David is just a pawn. Even if things turn upside down, he can't possibly harm us. But the Ansar Group can!"

"We must act swiftly and decisively to prevent David from gaining further power with the support of the Onsa Group!"

Although David has been very damaging to the Freemasonry group recently, many people only see him as a thorn in their side and do not think that this thorn can cause them much harm.

The Onsa Group is different.

This group is a formidable opponent to their Freemason group, posing a risk of their downfall.

Therefore, almost everyone present believed that the Anssa people could no longer be allowed to support David, and that David must be restrained as a response and warning to the Anssa people!

"Kudus, intensify your lobbying efforts with the president. Joshua, you represent our group and speak with the major families of the Onsa Group to see if they are truly determined to continue supporting David!"

Henrietta, who had been listening in, also gave instructions, clearly realizing that if this matter were left unchecked, it could deal a huge blow to the entire group.

"The Yadson, Rothford, and Bush families are easy to deal with, but the Kennedy family... I think they're definitely determined to give David their full support, so..."

Joshua looked troubled.

The conflict between the Freemasons and the Kennedy family is essentially irreconcilable. It would be risky for him to negotiate with the family, so naturally he didn't want to go.

"Ignore the Kennedy family, just talk to the three major families!"

Henrietta clearly knew that the real leaders of the Onsa Group were the three major families, and as for the Kenneth family, although they still had some power, there was not much need to pay attention to their statements.

"Okay then."

Upon hearing that the Kennedy family didn't need to be involved, Joshua immediately agreed.

……

Amidst the undercurrents, a week quietly passed.

During this period, David clocked in for work on time every morning and left work on time every day.

As for what you do during work hours?

The answer is slacking off!

As for why we should slack off?

The reason is actually quite simple: he was indirectly putting pressure on the General Administration.

You've been discussing my promotion for ages without reaching a conclusion, so I might as well just give up.

Just like American workers, teachers, and truck drivers, when there is an imbalance of interests, they will strike and protest until they get the benefits they want, and then they will go back to work.

David was only shirking his duties; he didn't actually go on strike, which was already quite considerate.

However, what he didn't know was that the most anxious people seeing him slacking off weren't the IRS executives, but rather the Onsa Group.

Since the conversation at the last banquet was enlightening, the major families have studied the matter carefully and reached a consensus: using David to weaken the Freemasons is indeed a good option for them at present.

Seeing that David's side was just giving up every day, not only could they not weaken the Freemasons' power, but the key issue was that they had no follow-up funding for the W Act, and these two points were the reasons for their anxiety.

"Chief, the data from Binance has arrived. Would you like to review it?"

Kepper walked into the office and looked at David by the window, who was tending to his potted plants with scissors, and spoke up.

"No."

David didn't pay much attention and continued to focus intently on slacking off.

"Um... so is it the same as usual today?"

David hadn't done a single thing or document all week, so Keppel's "as usual" was actually asking if he was going to continue slacking off today.

"As usual."

"OK."

Kepper didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave the office.

Just as he left, the phone on the table rang. David put the shoulder scissors aside, walked over, picked it up, and saw that it was Sean calling. He immediately answered, "What is it, Mr. Sean?"

"Two things. First, regarding the pardon of the Sackler family, I've received information that the Freemasons are launching a fierce attack on this matter, and the White House is showing signs of being unable to withstand it."

"Secondly, the Onsa Group has reached a consensus. They have agreed to continue supporting you and have even promised to help you get into headquarters, but there is one condition."

David frowned upon hearing the first thing, but his expression softened upon hearing the second, and he asked, "What are the conditions?"

"They need an additional $2000 billion in funding for the Aid Act. If you promise to provide it, they can immediately 'get moving'!"

"hehe."

David gave a disdainful smile and replied, "They said the same thing last time, and look what happened. I still haven't been able to get into headquarters."

"This time is different, David. They will definitely keep their promise, and if they don't, you can simply 'quit'!"

David fell into thought.

All the other party wanted was a promise from him. Once he agreed, he could immediately start working on it. In other words, he didn't need to get the money first and hand it over to them. He wasn't worried about them going back on their word.

Thinking of this, he replied, "2000 billion is too much. Tell them, 800 billion at most, that's the bottom line, there's no room for negotiation!"

"800 billion... Okay, I'll call you back later."

About two hours later, Sean called again and said, "They agreed to 800 billion, but there's a condition attached."

"What is it?"

"They demanded that the money be received from the Freemason group's influence."

"That's a really shrewd plan. Fine, tell them I agreed, so they can 'get moving'!"

The Onsa Group's move not only brought them huge profits but also weakened the Freemasons' power, achieving two goals at once. That's why David said the other side's plan was shrewd.

The reason he agreed was quite simple.

Firstly, he has already broken ties with the Freemasons, so if he wants to strike, he should strike that group first.

In addition, this group is indeed wealthy in the United States, and they are the most suitable target if one wants to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
