American tax officials

"Shut up, do you think I'm senile?!"

Henrietta's shout interrupted the conversation of everyone present.

"I wouldn't dare..."

Henrietta was, after all, the head of the group and held great prestige. After seeing his sharp gaze, not only the ordinary members, but even Joshua and his ilk obediently shut their mouths.

"Then I will carry out my will. Alright, meeting adjourned. Joshua, Prescott, Soros, Buffett... you guys stay!"

Hearing Henrietta say this, even though everyone present was dissatisfied, they dared not say anything more and could only get up and leave.

Once only the seven major families remained on the scene, Henrietta spoke up: "I know you are all worried that this defeat will seriously shake our foundations, but Buffett and Soros are, after all, the most professional people in this field, and what they say makes sense."

"If we continue selling like this, and they suffer even greater losses, that will truly shake our foundations!"

"You can think about this carefully: what has enabled the Freemasons to dominate the world's finance and various industries to this day?"

"It's about unity! If the entire Freemasonry is reduced to just me and your seven great families, do you think we can continue to rule the world?"

The stock market is not his forte.

But the fact that he was able to rule the seven great families and the entire Freemasonry for so long shows that his control is naturally beyond what any of you here can compare to.

Even investment gurus like Soros and Buffett are saying that the odds are slim and that if they persist, they will only lose more in the end.

Although stopping now will cause heavy losses to the group's members, at least it will allow them to retain some of their assets.

But if they continue playing this game, those members will all lose everything, and then these people will definitely ask them for blood transfusions!

The Federal Reserve recently raised interest rates, and the funds obtained were used for the midterm elections.

It's impossible for them to recover by raising interest rates again, so how can they provide financial support to these members?

If they can no longer receive financial support, this group will definitely face collapse!

If the entire Freemason group is reduced to just these few families, then there will be even less chance of them fighting against David and his rabble!

Upon hearing Henrietta's words, the members of the seven families calmed down and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Joshua then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Henrietta is right. I was a bit irrational just now... Your approach was indeed correct..."

"Mr. Henrietta, if we withdraw this time, we will suffer a considerable loss in the stock market, but it is not a large sum of money for us. However, if we stop, our foundation may be doomed."

"Most importantly, global capital has also gotten involved this time. You know, when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it's all about taking advantage of these people. If we back down this time, it will give these capitals an opportunity to take advantage of us back. If David strikes while the iron is hot and does the same thing as Kennedy, then these global capitals will inevitably flock over to take advantage of us, and then we'll be in a difficult situation."

Upon hearing Loprescott's words, everyone's expression darkened.

What did Kennedy do back then?

Isn't it just like David now, trying to introduce various laws such as tax evasion in other locations and nationalizing the Federal Reserve to exploit them?

Now that David is riding high, and with the momentum of the passing of the off-site tax avoidance bill, if he pushes forward with other plans, global capital will surely follow suit.

Just like when Soros targeted Southeast Asian currencies, those international speculators only got involved because they saw that Soros had a high chance of winning and could make a profit!

"Trying to nationalize our Federal Reserve... hah, it's not that simple!"

Henrietta sneered and continued, "Don't worry, everyone. Like I said, we can put everything else aside for now and focus our energy on the midterm elections. If we win the midterms and secure a majority of seats in Congress, then even if they pass off tax haven laws or target our foundation, we can get it all back!"

"So our next direction remains here, understand?"

Again.

In the United States, Congress has the power to decide everything!

It's true that the off-site tax avoidance bill has been passed, and it's true that their plans in the stock market have been abandoned. But if they can control more members of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections, it's not impossible for them to turn the tables on the other side!

Everyone present nodded, clearly agreeing with Henrietta's words.

However, Joshua seemed to have thought of something else and said, "Mr. Henrietta, we support your decision, but... I don't think the Ansar and the Illuminati will be so easy to talk to."

"Yes, the Ansar and the Illuminati don't have a Federal Reserve like we do, so the Foundation is their lifeline, and they certainly won't be willing to be taken away by David."

"That's true..."

Joshua's words were echoed by several major families present, as well as by Thoreau and Buffett.

"Joshua, you handle the Ansar's business. Get them to agree no matter what. If they have objections, let them do what they want."

After saying this, Henrietta looked at Prescott and said, "As for the Illuminati, you go and negotiate with them!"

"Well... okay."

The two hesitated, but since Henrietta had specifically named her, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

……

In the remaining days, capital from various countries, having tasted success, poured into the US stock market in large quantities.

To their surprise, on the fourth day, the three major groups stopped selling off their shares as they had done before, which greatly disappointed these investors.

The three major groups ended their frantic selling, which gradually brought the previously turbulent stock market and the Nasdaq index back to a calm state.

David and the others were naturally surprised by the result, but they quickly understood the intentions of the three major groups. They must have seen too much global capital pouring in, so they had to temporarily avoid the limelight!

"Haha, victory ultimately belongs to our IRS!"

"Without the interference of the stock market, their foundation's problems would be impossible to escape, and of course, Inspector General David deserves all the credit for this!"

"That's right, Inspector General David has indeed come up with many useful solutions to this matter!"

"..."

The top officials at the National Tax Administration were overjoyed.

David was instrumental in inviting Masko to intervene and rescue the market, as well as in using the CIA's channels to lobby global capital to participate.

Here at the Manhattan precinct.

David, who was on a video call, said, "It seems they've retreated for now, but we don't know if they'll launch a new offensive. Let's wait and see..."

After the video conference ended, David immediately received a call from Elvis. He answered, "What's going on?"

"I just received intelligence that because the influx of global capital this time has been too aggressive, Soros and Buffett, those two old foxes, have decided to withdraw with their Freemasons after weighing the pros and cons."

"Is that so? That's a good thing. Oh, by the way, what about the Ansar and the Illuminati? What's their stance?"

"Unlike the Freemasons, they don't have the Federal Reserve as a source of funding, so although the Freemasons are lobbying them to focus on the midterm elections, intelligence suggests they'll have to put up some more effort."

"Heh, they've already left the Freemasons, and they still want to struggle?"

David gave a cold laugh.

Of the three major groups, the Freemasons are undoubtedly the most financially powerful. Now that even the most financially powerful one is planning to withdraw, what kind of trouble can the remaining two cause?

"I will keep a close eye on them and report back to you immediately if there is any news."

"Well done, Director Elvis, thank you for your hard work this time!"

David was actually somewhat worried when the three major groups were preparing to stir up trouble in the stock market.

But to our surprise, things turned out so well after Masco joined.

Of course, it is undeniable that Masko has a lot of personal charisma and can attract a lot of capital on a global scale, but without the CIA's channels to "lobby" in various countries, he certainly wouldn't have attracted so much capital to get involved, forcing the three major groups to back down.

"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."

After ending the call, David immediately dialed Kepper's number and said, "Kepper, please inform Sean, Thompson, and... these people to come to New York at 9 p.m. tonight, at the Times Square Hotel."

In the stock market these past two days, companies like Kennedy, Tamm, and local powerful families from various states have taken over a lot of shares in large companies. Given the potential value these companies can bring in the future, they can be said to have made a fortune.

To prevent them from becoming too complacent, he called these people over tonight to give them a warning and to remind them not to develop in the direction of capital groups like the three major conglomerates.

On the other hand, although the stock market matter may have come to an end, according to his plan, there will still be many places where they will be needed in the future, so some follow-up arrangements still need to be made.

……

It was nearly 9 p.m. at the Times Square Hotel, in the same private room as a few days ago.

"Mr. Gotha, although the three major conglomerates managed to cut their losses in time, you've acquired shares in quite a few companies these past two days, including IN, Kouchi, and others. With your family's wealth, controlling these companies is just around the corner!"

"Hehe, Mr. Charlie, we're in the same boat. Your family has now gained control of those companies you've been eyeing."

"..."

Inside the private room, members of various families clinked glasses and shared their gains from the stock market over the past few days.

However, as time went on, Bessmai suddenly asked a thought-provoking question.

"The tax haven bill has been passed, and we've also been caught in the stock market crash orchestrated by the three major corporations. But they've been operating in America for so many years, their influence is still there. Take the Freemasons, for example. To completely defeat them, unless..."

At this point, Bessmay narrowed her eyes, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"Unless it's some Mr. Bessmay?"

The people present were clearly intrigued and eagerly asked the question.

"Take away their control of the Federal Reserve!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

It took them a tremendous amount of effort to pass a bill on tax evasion in other states, so pushing for a bill to nationalize the Federal Reserve would certainly be ten or a hundred times more difficult.

However, they did agree with what Bessma said.

Despite the Freemasons losing a fortune in the stock market these past two days, as long as the Federal Reserve remains standing, it will continue to provide a steady stream of funding to its members.

The saying goes, "Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down when it's dead." With the backing of the Federal Reserve, the Freemasons will undoubtedly wield immense influence.

"Mr. Bessmay, there have been countless rumors circulating about nationalizing the Federal Reserve. Do you think our Inspector General David has any intention of doing so?"

Charlie asked with great interest.

"I think Mr. Sean knows more about this than we do, doesn't he?"

Bessmay turned her gaze to Sean, who had remained silent.

The others present also cast questioning glances.

Of all the people present, the Kennedy family was the first to reach a cooperation agreement with David, and Sean was the person David trusted most among them.

David didn't reveal much to them about the Federal Reserve.

Therefore, the person most likely to know David's thoughts at the scene is Sean.

"Don't look at me, I don't know much about this either."

Sean naturally knew something about the Federal Reserve and was aware of David's thoughts, but since David hadn't disclosed this matter to these people, how could he dare to speak recklessly?

"Is that so? How about... we all ask Inspector David about this later?"

Bessma tentatively suggested.

Upon hearing this proposal, representatives from all the major families present, except for Sean and the Thompson father and daughter, showed interest.

It's important to understand that whoever controls the Federal Reserve controls the issuance of the US dollar, which in turn means they control the economy of the entire United States and even the world.

Otherwise, how could the Freemasons have become such a large and influential organization as they are today?

If David decides to target the Federal Reserve, and if he manages to secure it and get a share of the profits, the rewards would be unimaginable.

Don't be fooled by how much they've made in the stock market these past few days; compared to the profits brought by a behemoth like the Federal Reserve, it's nothing!

Faced with such tempting profits, how could the representatives of these various families not be interested? (End of Chapter)
