American tax officials

Chapter 365 Ruthless Americans

Upon hearing this, Bessma and the other two immediately gritted their teeth.

The IRS's ferocity had already been demonstrated in previous operations, whether it was invading Indian reservations or dealing with the Illuminati.

Despite their self-confidence and perceived "simple and honest" nature, Texas may find it difficult to withstand a direct confrontation.

When the IRS arrives with armed forces, the military, which has long harbored resentment towards them, might seize the opportunity to retaliate, leaving them vulnerable from both sides.

The thought of facing such a situation made them all want to rush up and strangle David, but when they thought about the consequences, their reason prevailed over their anger, and they calmed down.

Once she calmed down, Bessmay seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Sean, who was standing silently to the side.

Sean understood what that look meant, and shrugged, replying, "Bessmay, I know what you're worried about—it's nothing more than the Freemasons, the Ansar, and the Illuminati. But let me tell you, it's not just you who are helping us; there are many others as well."

"Once this bill is introduced, all three parties will be overwhelmed with their own problems and won't be able to target you alone. And once the bill is passed, they will be severely weakened and won't have time to deal with you."

"Besides, once you've sided with Inspector General David, you're naturally one of us. No matter what happens, we'll protect our ally!"

As prominent American families, the Kennedy family has had considerable dealings with these three major Indigenous families in Texas.

Sean himself was quite familiar with the representatives of these three families.

So when he learned a few days ago that David had set his sights on Texas, he volunteered to act as a go-between.

Upon hearing this, Godard lost his composure and said gravely, "Mr. Sean, you must understand that your family's situation is different from ours!"

What he meant was that the Kennedy family and the Freemasons were in a life-or-death struggle.

But our three families are different; there's no need for us to fight to the death like this!

"That was before. Now, things are no different. Given the current situation, you have to make a choice!"

This time, it was David who took over the conversation.

The unspoken meaning behind his words was actually a message to these three people.

Regardless of your previous stance, now you have no choice but to stand on my side!

The three of them understood perfectly. At this moment, the veins on their foreheads bulged even more, clearly indicating that they were on the verge of going berserk.

"Listen to me, the Freemasons have enormous power, but with Inspector General David's IRS and the legislators from various states supporting us, we're not necessarily afraid of them."

"If they lose, there will be significant changes in America's social resources. Besides the tax policy adjustments that Inspector David just promised you in Texas, if you stand on our side as the victors, you will definitely reap the benefits in the future. Why can't you think more long-term?"

Hearing Sean's earnest words, the expressions of Bessmay and the other two softened considerably.

Thinking about it calmly, ever since David arrived in Los Angeles, the Freemasons have been in complete chaos, and the last assassination attempt also ended in failure. It can be said that they were completely outmaneuvered.

And since David is so confident in pushing through this bill, he must have some degree of certainty.

If they are truly willing to join in and support, the chances of winning... should be somewhat there, right?

If this bill is actually passed in Congress, such a powerful bill will certainly, as Sean said, cause a significant reshuffling of resources in society.

If they can reap the benefits in this regard, coupled with David's earlier statement about enacting a tax policy specifically for Texas to provide compensation, it seems like there's some potential.

"How about this, Inspector David, let me call our family first to inquire about their final decision, and then I'll give you an answer, okay?"

Me too.

"Me too……"

After finishing their calculations, the three of them spoke in succession.

"Can."

David understood that although the guests were important representatives from various families, such a significant bill would definitely require the consent of the majority of their families, so there was no rush.

Having received permission, the three of them didn't waste any words and went out one after another.

"Mr. Sean, what do you think?"

After the three left, David turned his gaze to Sean.

"Texas gets agitated every time there's a midterm election or a presidential election, just to make their presence known. And this time, right at the crucial moment of the midterm elections, you've gathered dirt on all the major families. If they anger you, you'll be in big trouble."

"Given that the policies you proposed and other aspects have compensated for their losses, I think they will most likely compromise."

The two points Sean mentioned are certainly reasons, but there is actually another point he didn't explicitly state.

That is, Texas is different from other places; the influence of Freemasons, the Unsa Group, and the Illuminati is too small here.

Therefore, even if these major families offend the Freemasons, these three powerful forces may not be able to suppress these local bully families.

Therefore, considering the factors mentioned above, it's highly likely that these major families will agree.

"That's right..."

David nodded, acknowledging his statement.

About twenty minutes later, Bessmay and her two companions returned to the suite.

"Our family is willing to help Inspector General David push this bill forward, but as mentioned before, you must offer a tax incentive for Texas. Also, I hope that you, Inspector General David, will help us get some benefits from the social resource reshuffling caused by the passage of this bill."

"Our family is the same..."

"Our family is the same."

Just as Sean had predicted, the three of them and their families did indeed compromise.

David nodded in satisfaction and replied, "As long as you agree to help me push this bill forward, I will naturally offer a tax incentive policy for Texas. As for other benefits... you can rest assured, I won't be stingy with my own people!"

"That's good."

With the assurances received, the three representatives from Bessmay relaxed once again.

"Haha, I never thought we'd all reach this kind of cooperation! Come on, let's have a drink!"

No one was happier than Sean to have achieved this collaboration.

This is Texas, after all. It has 38 seats in the House of Representatives and two seats in the Senate.

However, they have now taken all those seats!

With the addition of the legislators David had previously lobbied, their bill was practically one foot in the door of passing!

Sean took a bottle of champagne from the hotel refrigerator, poured a glass for everyone, and then looked at David.

"Cheers to the bill we're about to draft!"

David didn't refuse and raised his glass first, followed by the others, who then clinked their glasses together and downed them in one gulp.

Next, the group discussed the work on advancing the bill.

According to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

Enacting a law is not something that can be done on a whim; it requires going through many procedures.

For example, a member of parliament must first present the outline of the bill to the public so that they know what kind of law it is before it can be submitted to a congressional committee for review.

After the review is completed, legislation needs to be drafted. Once the legislation is drafted, it can be discussed and voted on in the House of Representatives. After it is passed, it can be submitted to the Senate for review and voting.

After the Senate has reviewed and approved the document, it can finally be submitted to the president, who will sign it to make it officially effective and then implement it!

The discussion lasted for almost an hour.

With the general arrangements settled, the representatives of the major families left to prepare for their return and carry out the various tasks.

Meanwhile, David picked up the phone and dialed Donald's number.

In his office at the Washington headquarters, Donald beamed with joy upon hearing that all of Texas's seats had been taken.

He immediately pushed open the door and went to Obadiah's office, saying, "David just called. The trip to Texas went very well, and those three Indigenous families are willing to work for us!"

"very good!"

Obadiah was excited to hear this, as Texas is the second largest state in the United States and has a large number of seats in the legislature.

If they are willing to support this bill, then together with the members of Congress that David has already won over, their bill will have a very good chance of success!

……

At the hotel, David and Sean were still discussing their next steps.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Munson walked in, saying, "Inspector General, the Speaker of the House is here. She's downstairs and specifically asked to see you."

"The Speaker of the House?"

David was taken aback. He didn't have much interaction with this Speaker of the House, and he had never approached this person like he had approached other members of Congress. Why did this person suddenly come over?

Is it...

"David, the fact that she came to see you in person at this critical juncture suggests that he probably already knows about the bill!"

Sean said with a serious expression.

David nodded. If he hadn't known about the bill, how could the Speaker of the House, with his position, have come to see him in person?

"After all, she is the third most powerful person in the United States, and if you want to push this bill through, you have to go through the House of Representatives, which she controls, so I think it would be best to meet with her and find out what she really means."

After hearing Sean's suggestion, David thought about it and felt it made some sense. He then gestured to Munson, "Bring her up!"

Seven or eight minutes later, the door was pushed open again, and a woman with short blonde hair, wearing a burgundy women's suit, walked in.

She is the current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Garyssie.

Nanxi glanced at David first, then shifted her gaze to Sean, and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Sean, you're here too."

"Hope you've been well, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy."

"Mr. Sean, if I were in your family, I would choose to keep a low profile and not dwell on trivial matters; that's playing with fire and getting burned!"

Hearing Nanxi's accusatory words, Sean frowned.

David, standing to the side, glanced at Nanxi a few more times.

To be fair, this speaker is definitely a formidable figure in the current American political arena.

She was elected to the House of Representatives in 1987 and has been re-elected ever since, serving in Congress for more than 30 years.

Her most famous incident was in 2020 when she tore up the State of the Union address in front of the former president and the world, which can be described as an epic scene in American politics.

This is the kind of person who dares to slap the president in front of the whole world; you can imagine how domineering and ruthless he is.

To criticize Sean and his family to their faces is nothing more than child's play.

"And you, David, I don't care what grudges you have with the Freemasons, the Unsharp Group, or the Illuminati, but please don't let this war spread to our Parliament. Do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing that Sean remained silent, Nanxi turned her gaze to David, but her tone remained unquestionable.

"What do you mean by that, Speaker Nancy?"

David showed no sign of backing down and instead questioned them.

"Hehe, what do you mean?"

Nanxi sneered and said, "All this time, you've been running around to different states, threatening our members of the House of Representatives, trying to get them to help you push through some off-the-counter tax avoidance bill. Do you really think I, as the Speaker of the House, don't know that?"

David's expression darkened. He knew that with all the fanfare he had gone to so many members of Congress, this bill couldn't be kept secret for long, but he hadn't expected that it was the Speaker of the House who found out.

"So, Speaker Nancy, you're here as a lobbyist for the three major corporations?"

Logically speaking, this bill doesn't conflict much with the Speaker of the House's interests, so David wanted to find out first whether the other party was acting on behalf of the three major groups to make things difficult for him.

A flicker of something passed through Nancy's eyes, then she said nonchalantly, "As the Speaker of the House, no one has the authority to ask me to be their lobbyist. I simply believe this bill will shake the very foundations of America, so I must stop it!"

She said that just to maintain her public image.

In fact, after the three major groups held a meeting a few days ago, they finally came up with a plan: to have Speaker Nancy Nancy step in and coerce the members of Congress into behaving themselves.

Although Nanxi is a powerful figure in America, she still needs to compromise when faced with pressure from the three major corporations.

However, she didn't think warning her members of the House of Representatives would be useful. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. She felt that to end this farce, she had to start with David, so she came over in person.
