American tax officials

It was nearly nine o'clock, but David was still in the office of the Federal Reserve nationalization team, reviewing draft documents.

Just then, Kepper walked in and said, "Inspector General, Mr. Thompson is here and wants to see you."

"Take him to my office first."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, David pushed open the door to his office and walked in. Seeing the Thompson father and daughter already waiting there, he asked, "Mr. Thompson, Ms. Iwanka, what brings you here so late?"

"Inspector General David, I was wondering if you watched the presidential candidate debate on television tonight?"

"No, what's wrong?"

David has been focusing all his energy on the Federal Reserve nationalization bill lately, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to any TV debates.

"Then I need to explain to you. On January 1st at the Capitol Hill Hotel, you already decided to support me. Logically speaking, Kaczyk should just be there for me in this election. However, her recent actions and her aggressive tone towards me on television tonight suggest that this is not just a formality!"

Thompson said with a wronged look on his face.

"Oh, is that so?"

David's expression also changed.

"Yes, Inspector General David, in recent times, Kachira has reorganized her cabinet and replaced it with her cronies. Furthermore, given her relationship with you, she's thriving in law enforcement agencies like the CIA and FBI. I think... this time she might not obediently hand over the reins to my father!"

Ivanka, who was standing nearby, added in response.

David rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, if they say this class is yours, then it's yours, and nobody can change that!"

Thompson and his daughter exchanged a glance and then nodded.

After comforting the father and daughter and having them leave, David immediately called Gavin. He had been busy with the Federal Reserve nationalization bill and was not clear about the specific situation of the election, so he wanted to call Gavin over to ask him about it.

About half an hour later, Gavin arrived at the office looking travel-worn.

"Chief Inspector David, you wanted to see me?"

"I asked you to come here to ask about the situation with Kachira. I heard that he's recently planted a lot of his cronies in your FBI. Is that true?"

"Forehead……"

Gavin hesitated upon hearing this.

In the past six months, he has made great strides and rose to the position of deputy director of the FBI.

Of course, the reason he was able to rise to such a high position so quickly was not only because of his relationship with David, but most importantly, because of the great efforts made by the newly appointed Kachira.

Now, hearing David's tone suggesting some dissatisfaction with Kacilla, he naturally became troubled.

"What, has Kachira been giving you a lot of favors lately?"

"No, no, no..."

Gavin's hair stood on end, and he waved his hands repeatedly, explaining, "Yes, just as you said, Kachira has indeed planted many cronies in the FBI recently, and not just in the FBI, but also in the CIA and NSA."

Although Kacilla had given him many benefits, if he angered David, even God might not be able to save him, so he dared not cover for Kacilla any longer.

David's expression turned cold as he replied, "It seems that while I've been busy with the off-site tax avoidance bill, some people have forgotten about me."

Gavin didn't dare to respond and could only stand there, barely daring to breathe.

"I have a task for you."

"What mission?"

"I need to……"

"..."

After giving Gavin some instructions, David let him leave. Then, he called over Elvis from the CIA, gave him a good talking-to, and assigned him a few tasks.

The next day arrived.

The White House, the Oval Office.

Windsor pushed open the door and walked in, coming to Kacilla's side and saying, "Madam President, after last night's debate, our approval rating has risen by another 5 percentage points. At this rate, this election is practically ours!"

"very good!"

Kachira was delighted to hear that her approval rating had increased by five percentage points, but she soon seemed to remember something and her expression turned somber.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Windsor noticed that Kacilla's expression was off and immediately asked her what was wrong.

"We certainly achieved good results in yesterday's debate, but it was also a direct confrontation. I think Thompson will definitely go to David to 'complain' about it."

She knew that David had been busy with the Federal Reserve nationalization bill, so she was worried that if Thompson filed a complaint, her good days would be over.

"We've given those people quite a few benefits over this period. If David really puts pressure on us, I believe they won't remain indifferent; they'll definitely make a statement!"

In order to remain in the White House, Windsor has really put in a lot of effort during this period.

Not only did she have to plan the election, but she also had to win over various departments, families, and members of the House and Senate.

Given the White House's status, she has indeed garnered considerable support, giving her some confidence.

"I hope so..."

Now, Kachira can only hope that those she has recruited will be able to play a role.

As I was lost in thought, a White House staff member knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Madam President, Inspector General David is here and wants to see you."

Although Kachira and Windsor were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but feel a little flustered when they heard that David was coming.

After calming herself down, Kachira said, "Then please invite him in."

David soon walked in and, without any ceremony, sat down in the chair opposite the oval desk. Looking at Kacilla Windsor, he said, "Madam President, I've recently heard some rumors that you're somewhat dissatisfied with the agreement we made at the Capitol Hill Hotel. So, the main purpose of my visit today is to understand this issue."

Kachira and Windsor's expressions darkened. David had indeed received Thompson's complaint and was now making trouble for them.

"It's like this, Inspector General David. I didn't mean to break the agreement. My original plan was indeed to just go through the motions and then hand over the reins. But I didn't expect the American people's support for me to be so strong. Right now, my support is far ahead of Thompson's. If I suddenly back down now, it could cause a public uproar. So now I have no choice..."

Both men knew that David would definitely come knocking on their door after they drew their swords, so they had already prepared their excuses.

Her excuse was quite reasonable.

I did want to withdraw, but unfortunately, even if you give me the chance, Thompson is useless. His approval rating can't be raised, which leads to a significant increase in public support for me.

I'm stuck in this situation now, and there's no way I can back out even if I wanted to!

David stopped talking and took a document from the inside pocket of his suit and placed it on the oval desk.

Kachira was taken aback when she saw the document, then picked it up with a serious expression and began to examine it.

As more of this content came into view, Kachira and Windsor's expressions gradually turned grim.

This document is not evidence of Tan's embezzlement, bribery, abuse of power, or tax evasion, but rather a record of an interview conversation from more than 20 years ago.

At the time, Kaczynski was still very young and had not yet entered politics, so when interviewed by the media about issues concerning the Black community, she frankly expressed some of her discriminatory views.

It's important to understand that the United States is a country of immigrants and diverse ethnic cultures, with the Black community making up a large portion of it.

The Black community in the United States is very united. Not to mention that a president of a country has a history of discrimination against this community, even if an ordinary white immigrant dares to show discrimination against Black people, this group will definitely turn upside down.

It's fair to say that if this document were to leak out, Kachira wouldn't be able to continue her campaign, and her entire family would likely be destroyed by those black people.

The two had considered every possibility, but they never expected that David would be able to obtain such an interview document from more than 20 years ago.

"Kakira, if I leak this document to the media, wouldn't your approval rating drop a bit, and things become easier for you?"

Just now, Kachira was all wronged, saying that she couldn't withdraw from the election because the people were supporting her.

Now, if David releases this document, her approval rating will definitely plummet, and she will be embroiled in a scandal. Then no one will be there to protect her anymore!

Upon hearing this, Kachira's face flushed red, and she was somewhat unable to refute it.

"Inspector General David, why are you so insistent on putting Thompson in power? Our President Kacilla is no less capable than Thompson, and what Thompson can do, our President Kacilla can also do. Why can't you give our President Kacilla a proper consideration?"

Windsor was also pushed to her limit, so she spoke her mind directly.

David looked at her and replied with a hint of disdain, "I've said it before, a promise is a promise. Besides, in my opinion, there's not much difference between the two of them!"

"you……"

Windsor was speechless at those words.

"Chief of Staff at Windsor, I've received some information that your subordinates have been getting quite close to the Freemasons lately. What do you think? Are you looking for a better job? If so, I certainly won't stop you!"

David learned this news from Elvis last night.

You see, the Freemasons are someone he absolutely must eliminate, and this Windsor dared to associate with them, which is intolerable.

So the purpose of coming here today, besides giving Kachira a warning and making her behave, is to deal with Windsor, which can be seen as making an example of her.

The White House Chief of Staff is the ultimate administrator of the White House, the embodiment of the president, and can wield considerable influence. We can't let the Freemasons exploit us at this critical juncture.

"No, no, no, that's not true, Inspector David. We know those Freemasons are a bunch of bad apples; there's no way we could have any connection with them!"

Before Windsor could speak, Kacilla couldn't hold back any longer.

Because he knew very well that David and the Freemasons were mortal enemies, and if she really admitted to colluding with the Freemasons, then things would be truly irreversible.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this document's release only causes her scandal. She knows David's methods well; this is just an appetizer. The real killer move might be waiting for her later.

"Don't be so hasty, Madam President. I didn't say you had any connection with the Freemasons. I was talking about the Chief of Staff of Windsor. So, Chief of Staff of Windsor, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"I...I didn't..."

David didn't rush to refute him. Instead, he took out several cards from his pocket, placed them in front of him, and said, "This is Ferberis, one of your confidants, isn't he? Can you explain why he's dining with Joshua of the Morgan family?"

The photo shows Joshua of the Morgan family dining with a man at an upscale restaurant.

At this moment, Kachira was completely panicked. In fact, Windsor had proposed the idea of ​​uniting with the Freemasons to her, but when she learned about the relationship between the Freemasons and David, she did not adopt it, and the matter was gradually shelved afterward.

As for the fact that Windsor's confidant met with Joshua, she was truly unaware of it.

However, Windsor, as the White House Chief of Staff and her alter ego, is now secretly colluding with the Freemasons. If she said she didn't know about this, would David believe her?

Believe it or not, she's definitely going to be implicated!

"So, Chief of Staff Windsor, can you explain this matter?"

Windsor was completely pale; faced with such evidence, she was utterly powerless to offer any explanation.

David ignored him and looked at Kachira, saying, "President Kachira, we've maintained a good relationship all this time, and I don't want to ruin it. I don't want to do anything to you going forward, but you still need to give me an explanation for this matter. That's all!"

We're all smart people, and the matter has been discussed to this point, so there's no need to spell it out any further.

David stood up, pushed open the door, and left.

At this moment, Kachira breathed a sigh of relief, because she realized that David did not intend to make a big deal out of this matter.

She turned to Windsor, her expression gradually turning angry, and said, "Windsor, I've treated you quite well, and this is how you do things behind my back?"

She certainly had reason to be angry. Windsor was secretly colluding with the Freemasons—or rather, she had actually been in contact with them—and she almost got herself into serious trouble.

"Madam President, I... I was only doing this for your sake, please forgive me..." (End of Chapter)
