American tax officials

Padden looked at him sharply and demanded, "Abner, what exactly happened?!"

"I...this...I'm sorry, Mr. President, I had no choice, please understand!"

Under Padden's tone, Abner could no longer withstand the pressure and could only say this in frustration.

"There was no other way!"

Upon hearing these four words, Paden and Wilder exchanged a glance.

How could the NAS, a powerful department, have any unavoidable circumstances?

Could it be... that's right!

In the past few days, several major media outlets have reported some scandals about the NSA, which they didn't think much of at first.

But now, considering that these people seem to be forced to resign, the outcome seems obvious!

It seems there must be someone pulling the strings behind this so-called scandal!

Given the Illuminati background of this group, and the fact that the three major groups of Illuminati, Onsa, and Freemasonry have united to oppose David over the issue of the tax avoidance law.

The result is self-evident!

All of this must be related to David!

"Director Edgar, there are no outsiders here. Just tell the President the truth, and he will stand up for you!"

To get a clearer picture of the situation, Wilder looked directly at Edgar.

Edgar hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and uttered three words: "Yes, David told us to do it."

"What?! It really is him!"

Now, Padden and Wilder were completely certain.

"Wait a minute, Director Edgar. Although some negative news about you has been reported by major media outlets these past few days, it's not enough to shake your positions!"

As Wilder spoke, he glanced at the group with a puzzled look.

Edgar and the others exchanged glances, but none of them spoke. They couldn't very well tell the president the details of the crimes they had committed and how David had caught them, could they?

"Speak up, are you all mute?!"

Seeing that the others remained silent, Paiden grew angry.

"Mr. President, what has been revealed is just the tip of the iceberg. David has much more to his hands. I... I had no choice but to do this. Please understand!"

"Yes, sir..."

Seeing that Paden was angry, Abner and Grantham, who were the first to lose their temper, could only bite the bullet and answer.

"Damn it, one of you is the NAS's intelligence chief and the other is the deputy director. How could you let him find fault with you so easily and be threatened by him? Even if you've been caught red-handed, with the power and resources you have, can't you clean up your 'dirty business'?"

Paten gradually became furious.

It's not hard to understand why he's so dissatisfied. The CIA and FBI are currently under David's control, and the bill has only just been passed. He can't afford to have a falling out with David over this, so he can only put up with it for now.

Unexpectedly, the NSA is now also on the verge of being "captured".

It's important to understand that if even the NAS, an intelligence agency, falls into David's hands, it's tantamount to him being sidelined as president.

On a grander scale, wouldn't his every move as president be monitored at all times?

He's the president, how can he tolerate something like this happening!

"Mr. President, we...you know David's methods. No matter how clean we are, it's still hard to escape his clutches when he gets serious..."

"Chief Edgar, now that you've all decided to resign, who will take over your jobs?"

Wilder didn't dwell on the resignation issue anymore, but instead asked this crucial question.

Upon hearing this, Paten snapped out of his rage.

Yes, now that these people have been forced to resign, the most important thing is finding someone to take over their positions.

"Mr. President, I recommend Streich Samuel as my successor."

Abner spoke first.

"Stretch?"

Paten turned his gaze to his chief of staff, Wilder.

"Mr. President, this is a former high-ranking CIA official, but..."

Wilder hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"But what?"

"It's said that this Streich has close ties to the Kennedy family!"

Upon hearing this, Paiden's face stiffened.

The Kennedy family had already openly sided with David, and with his man appointed as the NSA's intelligence chief, the NSA's intelligence department was naturally under David's indirect control.

Pat's gaze shifted to Abner, and he demanded, "Tell me, Abner, is this the person David asked you to recommend?"

"Mr. President, I...I..."

Abner dared not lie, but he also dared not continue speaking.

"Chief Edgar, and who is your successor?"

It was Wilder who asked that question.

Let's put aside the successor of the NAS intelligence department for now and find out who will be in charge of the NSA next.

Padden stopped asking questions and turned his gaze to Edgar.

Edgar's forehead was covered in sweat, but he hesitated to utter a single word.

The appointment of one Stratford has already caused such dissatisfaction in Padden.

If it were revealed that the IRS was going to bring in a high-ranking official to take his place, wouldn't Patton be furious?

"Speak!"

Paten glared angrily and demanded an answer.

Edgar clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sir, if you insist on asking me who will succeed me, then I can only recommend Hena Quintadin."

"Henna? Which Henna are you talking about?"

Hena Quintadin of the IRS is known to both Padden and Wilder.

They never considered this person.

In their minds, the IRS sending someone to replace the NSA leader is a complete joke!

"Sir, this is Hena Quintardine from the IRS!"

"What? Say that again!"

Both Paden and Wilder were dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

"Mr. President, I said I recommend Hena Quintadin from the IRS to succeed me!"

Edgar was really going all out, and he shouted.

"Damn it, do you know what you're doing? That's a high-ranking official in the IRS! How could you recommend him for this position?!"

Although Paiden appeared to be hurling insults at Edgar, he actually knew that David was behind it all, and that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with David.

"Sir... Henar, although a high-ranking official in the IRS, is the head of the IRS intelligence department, and is capable of fulfilling my duties..."

Although it felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly, Edgar had no choice but to grit his teeth and recommend it in order to keep his promise to David.

"you……"

"Alright, sir!"

Before Paden could continue his outburst, Wilder interrupted him, then looked at Edgar and the others and said, "You guys go back and take charge of the work. We'll let you know what happens next."

Edgar and the others didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left.

After they left, Wilder turned to Padden and said, "Sir, since David was behind this, we can't afford to break ties with him yet. After all, the bill has only just passed, and there are many things to come..."

"Damn it, he's already remotely controlling the CIA and FBI. If the NSA falls into his hands too, he'll have way too much power. We could all become puppets in the future, and that's unacceptable!"

"No, sir. He only controls a few departments, while the White House oversees countless departments. He's too much of a puppet."

"Heh, those aren't just any ordinary departments. The IRS, FBI, CIA, NSA—these are practically the most powerful law enforcement agencies in America!"

"Yes, sir, but our top priority right now isn't fighting him for control of a few departments. Our top priority is the 24 election. We need to pass the prepared bills as soon as possible and bring our approval ratings back!"

Upon hearing this, Paiden, who was initially furious, calmed down considerably.

While controlling these powerful departments is important, there's not much time left before the election, so the most important thing is to ensure victory in the next election.

Otherwise, if they lose the election and the presidency, how can they even begin to discuss control of these powerful departments?

"Sir, the NSA has been controlled by members of the Illuminati for so many years. I think David's actions are not out of personal motives, but simply to prevent the Illuminati from causing trouble. So there's no need to worry too much..."

Wilder continued to try his best to advise Padden in the time that followed.

Patten, who has risen to his current position, is certainly not a reckless person. For the sake of the bigger picture, he ultimately had no choice but to agree with his chief of staff's opinion.

……

In the following days, the United States was abuzz with activity due to the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, the midterm elections, and the implementation of the tax haven law.

However, on the fourth day, a news item stole some of the spotlight from these major events.

The news was none other than the announcement that several top executives at NAS, led by Edgar, had all resigned.

But that wasn't the main point. The White House immediately announced the nominee, and when it was revealed that it was a high-ranking official from the IRS, it naturally caused quite a stir.

The Illuminati and the Freemasons of the Unsa Group were naturally deeply saddened by the huge changes that had befallen the MSA, but since the die was cast, they could only silently accept the bitter fruit and continue to focus their main battleground on the midterm elections.

National Taxation Bureau, Office of the Inspector General.

"There are no problems with the Senate. Hener's nomination has basically been approved, and he can report to NAS as early as three days from now. Once he takes office, the previously selected personnel for each department will be placed as soon as possible..."

Inside the office, David was listening to Keppel's report while resting his chin on his hand.

A few minutes later, he asked, "Has the report from NAS come out yet? What tasks did the three major corporations assign to this department?"

"First, they were responsible for monitoring the phone calls and emails of candidates for national parliament... second, they helped their supporters promote their campaigns on various social media platforms... third..."

Listening to Kepper's report, David nodded from time to time. After listening, he asked, "So, what do I need to do next?"

"We don't need to worry about the NAS anymore. We need to focus on the election. The Fed's interest rate hikes have given them a lot of money, which is managed by several major Wall Street foundations and provided to their candidates. If we can cut off these foundations, they will be in big trouble."

"Wall Street foundations..."

In fact, David had long been eyeing Wall Street, but the assassination attempt disrupted some of his plans, forcing him to first introduce the off-site tax avoidance bill in order to weaken the influence of the three major corporations.

Now that the bill has been successfully introduced, the three major groups have suffered a major setback, and it is a good time to press their advantage and turn their attention back to Wall Street!

As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot!"

In addition, he was also very interested to see just how much "profit" the IRS could make from Wall Street, which was said to control the direction of the world's economy!

With that in mind, David said, "The Wall Street Foundation... Alright, prepare the relevant documents and arrange the itinerary. I'll go to New York tomorrow!"

"clear!"

The next day, David told Obadiah Donald and the others what was going on, and then took Jerry Laimmanson and the others to the airport, where they boarded a connecting flight heading towards New York.

More than an hour later, the private plane landed at LaGuardia Airport in New York.

After getting off the plane, David and his group immediately went to the Manhattan Precinct. Since they had been notified in advance, the Manhattan Precinct was not very surprised by his arrival.

After a conversation, the Manhattan branch cleared out a temporary office for him and sent someone to Wall Street as he requested.

A little over an hour later, a deputy commissioner from the Manhattan precinct walked in and said, "Inspector General David, the Wall Street fund manager you were looking for, Mo Ang, has arrived."

"Okay, thank you. Please bring him over."

"It's nothing..."

The deputy director gave an awkward smile and then left the office.

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and then a figure pushed the door open and entered.

When the man saw David's face, he froze on the spot, even forgetting to take his hand off the doorknob. He clearly hadn't expected that the person who had summoned him today would be David!

"Don't just stand there, Mr. Mo Ang, come sit down and let's talk!"

Hearing the reminder, Gamoang calmed down a bit, then closed the door and sat down in the chair in front of David.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

A change flashed across Mo Ang's face, but he quickly shook his head, feigning confusion.

"I'd like to talk about the foundation you manage!"

"foundation!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ang was immediately taken aback, then quickly retorted, "Inspector General David, our foundation is used for charitable purposes and is not subject to tax laws!" (End of Chapter)
