American tax officials

The next day arrived.

This was the first day of the new president's official administration in the White House, a time of "new year, new beginnings" for the American people. As a result, both the media and the public focused their attention on the White House.

Meanwhile, in an upscale residential area about three kilometers from the White House, Sullivan had bloodshot eyes, disheveled hair, and looked utterly dejected, clearly having had a sleepless night.

As the saying goes, "a new emperor brings a new court," and today is Kaczyk's first day in office. She must purge the former president's faction before she can begin her new government's work.

As the National Security Advisor, he was not only a "former high-ranking official," but more importantly, he had offended David, so it goes without saying that he would be the first to be purged!

The thought that he had worked hard for over twenty years to reach his current high position, only to be brought back to square one, filled Sullivan with both despair and regret.

The regret is naturally that he shouldn't have encouraged Padden to harm David, otherwise things wouldn't have ended up like this.

But now that it's all happened, it's too late to say anything...

"Beep beep beep..."

The ringing of his cell phone interrupted Sullivan's thoughts. Seeing that the caller ID showed it was from the White House, his despair deepened.

But in the end, he forced himself to press the answer button.

"Mr. Sullivan."

"Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."

"The president wants to see you and wants you to come to the White House."

Sullivan was taken aback upon hearing this.

According to normal procedure, if the president wants to remove him from office, he can simply have someone call him and then sign an executive order to announce it; there is no need to summon him.

Now that they want to summon him, he can only think of two reasons.

First, the new president, Kaczynski, has no intention of purging him; the meeting was to coordinate upcoming work.

However, if he hadn't offended David before, it might have been possible for him to keep Kacilla in her position, given his talent, so that's clearly unlikely.

Then there must be another reason.

That is because he offended David, and Kachira summoned him this time to humiliate him and dismiss him in person in order to please David, or perhaps this was David's intention all along!

Thinking of this, Sullivan's eyes turned even bloodshot, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Are you listening, Mr. Sullivan?"

"Okay, I got it. I'm coming right now!"

Although Sullivan felt extremely frustrated at the moment, he was also well aware that David now held almost absolute power in America.

If he didn't go and let the other party vent their anger, his fate might be even more miserable, so he had no choice but to go, no matter how unwilling he was.

……

The White House, the Oval Office.

At this moment, Kachira was riding high, signing one administrative order after another.

Just then, Windsor pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "Madam President, Sullivan is here."

"Let him in."

A few minutes later, Sullivan was brought in.

"Mr. Sullivan, it seems you didn't sleep very well last night."

Seeing Sullivan's dejected appearance, Kachira couldn't help but tease him.

"Alright, Madam President, this is the follow-up plan for Europe. It contains all the arrangements my team and I will make. If you find it useful, please keep it."

Sullivan placed a document on the oval desk.

This proposal truly represents a significant amount of effort from him and his team. The reason he was willing to submit it without reservation was actually a way of implying to Kachira that, for the sake of this proposal, she should at least give him some face.

Kacilla understood what he meant, a slight smile appearing on her lips as she replied, "Mr. Sullivan, I think you should keep this proposal for yourself."

Sullivan's expression changed, because the other party's tone indicated that he was completely unwilling to accept any of his kindness.

It's important to understand that Sullivan's worldwide fame wasn't just hype; it was based on genuine talent and hard work.

This plan is extremely important for America's strategic planning in Europe, but Kachira just wants to get rid of it.

Is pleasing David really more important than the country's strategic planning?

"Alright, Mr. Sullivan, I didn't call you here to relieve you of your duties. I want you to remain as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and National Security Advisor. Are you willing?"

Today is Kachira's first day of administrative work. She has a lot of things to deal with and no time to continue teasing the other person.

"What?!"

Sullivan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he even wondered if he had misheard.

The new president not only shows no intention of resigning, but even intends to remain in office and continue in his original position?

Is this a joke?

Or were they mocking him?

"I said, I want you to stay on. Are you willing?"

Now, Sullivan was certain he hadn't misheard, and that the president before him genuinely wasn't joking. After a moment's thought, he blurted out, "This is David's idea?"

"Of course, Inspector General David thinks you are a talent, so he personally recommended you to stay on."

"this……"

Sullivan felt a mix of emotions.

He originally thought that Kachira had summoned him here on David's orders to humiliate him in person.

Unexpectedly, I had judged him by my own petty standards.

At this moment, all of Sullivan's dissatisfaction and complaints about David vanished without a trace, and he even admired David's magnanimity.

If he wins this struggle, he'll be lucky if he doesn't kill David, let alone let him stay in office.

After all, remaining in their original positions and retaining their original power poses a significant threat!

However, the fact that David has the magnanimity to let him stay shows that he is not afraid of him causing any trouble, or even if he does cause any trouble, he is confident that he can suppress him!

"So, are you willing to stay?"

Kacilla's voice interrupted Sullivan's thoughts, and he immediately replied, "If the President needs me, then of course I will not refuse."

As National Security Advisor, Sullivan wields considerable influence around the world, but without that title, he would be nothing.

Anyone who isn't a fool would make that choice.

As for whether this will get him labeled as a lackey of David?

If even the president, the FBI, and the CIA have become David's lackeys, then what does one more Sullivan matter!

"Very well, then continue with your work!"

Sullivan nodded, then pushed open the door and walked out of the White House. After getting into his car, he seemed to remember something and instructed the driver, "Go to the IRS."

David is currently studying some matters related to the midterm elections.

Since Kaczyk took office, he received messages early this morning from candidates across the country, expressing their willingness to serve him.

It seems that these people also realized that after he took control of the White House, the three major groups had already lost their momentum and were eager to take sides and express their opinions.

"Inspector General, Sullivan is here and wants to see you."

"Let him come over."

David wasn't too surprised; the other party must have received Kachira's message about keeping him in his position, which was why they came.

Soon, Sullivan was brought in.

"Hello, Mr. Sullivan."

"Hello, Inspector General David."

Both of them were very familiar with each other's reputations, but this was the first time they had actually met.

So upon meeting, both sides couldn't help but secretly sized each other up.

"Inspector General David, President Kacilla just summoned me and said I should continue in my current position, so I'm here to express my gratitude to you."

Finally, Sullivan spoke first.

"Mr. Sullivan, we did have some unpleasantness before, but it's not a big deal for either of us. I just hope you can focus on your work from now on."

"That's natural, but of course, I still want to apologize for my previous recklessness..."

David waved his hand, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, there's something I have to remind you. Those Freemasons aren't good people. I'm going to teach them a lesson soon, so I hope you won't get too close to them anymore."

"Don't worry about that. I swear to God, I will never have anything to do with them again!"

Sullivan is indeed a Jew, but he has not joined the Freemasons. And after this lesson, he certainly won't get involved with the Freemasons again.

"That's good……"

Both of them are leaders in their respective fields, so they ended up talking about many topics related to their fields over the next few hours.

Sullivan, as expected of a leading figure in national foreign affairs, spoke with great interest about his handling of strategic planning for various countries and regions.

Half an hour later, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Kepper pushed the door open and said, "Inspector General, Mr. Sean is here."

"Chief Inspector David, let's call it a day. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Upon hearing that Sean had arrived, Sullivan wisely stood up.

As he walked out, he happened to see Sean coming towards him. Although they knew each other, they weren't very familiar with each other. They simply nodded to each other and then went their separate ways.

After entering the office, Sean said to David, "Sullivan is here to see you. What's going on?"

He knew that Sullivan was the catalyst for the conflict between Padden and David, so seeing this guy here now, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I recommended that Kacilla keep him on, so he came here to express his gratitude to me."

"Is that so...?"

Sean seemed thoughtful, but this matter wasn't important to him. He then changed the subject, saying, "After the banquet last night, the Onsa Group called me in. Guess what they said?"

Tell me about it.

"They're scared!"

"So, you're trying to use me to sue for peace?"

David wasn't too surprised; the New York purge was, in a way, a warning to the rest of the Onsa Group.

Furthermore, now that Kaczyla has taken over and controls the White House, it's normal for the Onsa Group to feel afraid and not want to continue confronting him.

"Yes, they want to make peace. In addition, they said they are willing to personally visit you to apologize for the assassination attempt on you."

"There's no need for them to come in person to apologize; it's pointless. If they voluntarily give up their tax exemption as a military-industrial complex, then I might consider letting them off the hook!"

Although David has now gained absolute control over all departments in the United States, the three major groups still wield considerable influence when united.

If we can get the Ansar Group to withdraw voluntarily, then the Illuminati will surely follow suit and withdraw as well, making the Freemasons much easier to deal with!

Sean smiled slightly and replied, "Given the current situation, they would most likely agree if you made this request, but he feels that might be letting them off too easily?"

"So you mean...?"

"The Onsar Group has been deeply rooted in the United States for so many years. In addition to having absolute control over the military-industrial complex, it also has considerable control over the military. What do you think about asking them to relinquish control of this area?"

"This is their 'lifeline,' and if we force them like this, they'll probably find it hard to obey."

David's current plan is to first dismantle the three major groups and directly deal with the Freemasons and the Federal Reserve they control. Therefore, taking only the tax exemption rights of the military-industrial complex is, in a way, giving them a way out.

However, if their control over the military were to be taken away, they probably wouldn't leave the alliance so easily.

"Yes, if we ask them to hand over all control, they might continue to fight to the death. But we can ask them to hand over a portion. In short, I think there is room for negotiation."

David fell into thought upon hearing this.

Although Sean remained outwardly calm, he was actually becoming nervous inside.

The reason he made this suggestion was actually more for the benefit of his own family.

Imagine if the Ansar Group were willing to relinquish some control of the military; given David's current workload, he certainly wouldn't be able to accept it.

In that case, he will most likely be given the job, which is a great opportunity to strengthen the family’s influence!

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. But no matter how you negotiate, the main goal is to get them to withdraw from the alliance, understand?"

David naturally saw through Sean's little scheme, but given their relationship, he didn't mind letting the other party get some benefits.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

Seeing that David had finally agreed, Sean was overjoyed and assured him. (End of Chapter)
