American tax officials

Shabot gave a sly smile and replied, "To avoid leaks, very few people in the Freemasons know the specific details, so my client wants your assurance."

"What guarantee?"

"If the Federal Reserve nationalization bill is passed, I hope you will not purge him and will give him and his family a way to survive. Of course, my client also guarantees that he still has considerable influence in finance, especially regarding the operation of the Federal Reserve. If you need him, he can be at your beck and call in the future!"

Just as David had guessed, this Freemason leader intended to use this as leverage to persuade him to show leniency.

Composing himself, a smile appeared on his face as he replied, "I control almost all of America's intelligence agencies. Do you think I don't know about this?"

Shabot's expression changed upon hearing this. As far as he knew, the Freemasons' plan had only been finalized the previous night.

And as he said, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, few people in the meeting currently know about this.

How did David find out so quickly?

Are intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI really that powerful?

Or was David just bluffing him?

"Of course, I'm interested in what your employer says about serving me, but I need to know his identity first!"

After all, the eight major families have controlled the Federal Reserve for so many years. If they were suddenly separated, it would cause some inconvenience for the Federal Reserve's subsequent takeover and management.

After all, the Federal Reserve's operating model has always been controlled by the eight major families.

Therefore, if Shabot's client is indeed one of the eight great families, and not Joshua, who is always against him, then it's not impossible for him to oppose Fang Yima and have the other party do some work for him.

Shabot hesitated for a moment, weighing his options before finally replying, "Alright, my employer is Mr. Prescott of the Rockefeller family!"

"I see... Alright, go back and tell him that if he really shows remorse, I might consider letting him off the hook!"

Prescott had spoken with him once before, and he had a fairly good impression of the man. If the other party knew what was good for him, it wouldn't be impossible to let him off the hook.

Upon hearing this, Shabot's face lit up with joy, and he immediately thanked him, saying, "Very well, Inspector David, on behalf of my client, I express my deepest gratitude to you!"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Although I know the Freemasons are planning to harm me, I'd also like to hear what you have to say and see if there's anything I can use against you."

"Of course, according to my client, they plan to... in four days..."

Half an hour later, Shabot left, leaving only David in the office, looking thoughtful.

Although the Freemasons are teetering on the brink of collapse, they still have some tricks up their sleeves. They managed to find out his address, as well as the restaurants and clubs he frequented, and planned to use bombs, assassins, and various high-tech methods to carry out another assassination attempt on him.

Fortunately, he now has this information, so he can take precautions!

David picked up the phone, dialed Elvis's number, and gave a series of instructions.

……

March 7th was a day that Americans paid close attention to.

The reason is simple: according to the House of Representatives' procedures, today will be the day the Federal Reserve nationalization bill is officially voted on.

Whether the bill will pass the House of Representatives, and by what number of votes, are matters of great concern to the public.

At the IRS, David and his team of senior officials were already in place, while the large screen displayed footage of the House of Representatives, with members taking their seats one after another.

At the same time, all the members of the Ansar Group gathered together, but at this moment, Xiao Bush, Rei Zhe, Cyril and others all had a hint of anticipation on their faces.

The reason why their Onsa Group has been constantly eroded by the Freemasons over the years is simply because they lack the support of a powerful financial institution like the Federal Reserve.

If Congress passes this bill, the Federal Reserve will no longer be a privately controlled institution.

From now on, no one will be able to use this organization to erode their Onsa Group!

Besides, once this bill is passed, it will probably be the end of the Freemasons. In the future, apart from the Illuminati, no other group in the entire United States will be able to pose a threat to them!

Some might argue that the group led by David doesn't count.

In the eyes of the Anssa people, it really doesn't count!

The most important thing about a corporation is that it operates on two principles: profit!

Without shared interests, a group cannot exist.

Although David is now strong and healthy, his motivation is not to seek personal gain, but to uphold his ideal of taxation.

Therefore, in their view, David was just a person with ideals and ambitions, and the organization he led was very different from their Illuminati, Unsa Group, and Freemasons.

Bright Island.

Most of the Illuminati members were also present at this moment, intending to discuss whether their group needed to make any adjustments after the Federal Reserve nationalization bill was passed by the House of Representatives.

Senado Island.

Unlike the Onssa people and the Illuminati who were expectant and watching the show, Henrietta, Joshua and others had faces so gloomy they could drip ink, and the scene was deathly silent.

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud bang startled everyone present and made Henrietta Joshua turn around.

Schiff, his teeth clenched, said viciously, "We spent billions and lost many men on this assassination, but why did it fail? I suspect there's a traitor among us!"

When the topic of the traitor came up, Joshua and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

After agreeing to take a desperate gamble last time, they planned for it for several days, and the plan was finally put into action yesterday.

Unexpectedly, just when they thought everything was arranged, something unbelievable happened.

Their assassins, equipment, surveillance personnel, all the high-tech... all the deployments, all of them seem to have vanished into thin air; we can't contact them at all!

It's worth noting that their plan to assassinate David last time was rather crude, but even so, they managed to detonate the bomb in David's room.

However, this time, despite their meticulous planning, extensive resources, and considerable expense, they received no response whatsoever, which understandably frustrated them greatly.

"Schiff, you're exaggerating a bit. David now has access to major intelligence agencies like the FBI, CIA, and NSA. It's possible that these agencies were monitoring our operations and thus cutting off our plans!"

The head of the Zadeh family offered his opinion.

And to be honest, although they had planned very meticulously this time, he still didn't have much hope of success.

As I said before, David now controls too many intelligence agencies. If they really succeed, it can only be said that God is blessing them.

It's perfectly normal to fail.

"Even if he controls numerous intelligence agencies, it's impossible for him to do it so silently, right? Moreover, all the people and tools we placed were completely dismantled. The most outrageous thing is that all of this was done at the same time. I don't believe it wasn't a leak from an insider!"

Schiff still held onto his opinion to some extent.

This time, the head of the Zade family stopped arguing. As for Henrietta Joshua and the others, although they did not directly refute, they had a hint of doubt on their faces.

In fact, besides Schiff, many of them had also suspected that there was a traitor on their side, but they didn't know who it was, so they didn't dare to speak up directly.

"Hehe, this is a gamble we're taking. Who knows, someone might use this as leverage to negotiate with David?"

The previous words were fine, but after Schiff said the next sentence, the expressions of the seven people present changed quite a bit.

Yes, this time they're risking their lives, and it involves assassination, which is definitely a bargaining chip they can use to negotiate with David.

Perhaps some of them betrayed the operation in order to protect themselves, thus causing the plan to fail!

"Alright, stop doubting yourselves before you have evidence. The House of Representatives is starting its proceedings!"

Henrietta was also eager to know who the mole was if there really was one, but he had no evidence and couldn't act rashly right now, so he could only turn his attention to the big screen for the time being.

The House of Representatives was now fully occupied.

At that moment, Josh walked in through the passage and onto the stage.

In last year's midterm elections, Nancy withdrew from the race after announcing that she would not run again.

Josh, the former House Whip, had helped David in the off-state tax avoidance bill, so David reciprocated by supporting him to become the Speaker of the House.

This was Josh's first time presiding over a vote on such an important bill since becoming Speaker of the House, so he was quite excited.

After adjusting himself, he brought his mouth to the microphone and said loudly, "Ahem... Good morning, colleagues. Today, this court will hold a vote on the 'Federal Reserve Nationalization Act.' Well, the bill has passed the committee's review and various process improvements, so I won't waste any more time. The voting will now officially begin!"

As he finished speaking, the vote count appeared on the electronic voting screen.

Church, the author of the off-site tax avoidance bill, and his cronies all voted in favor, bringing the total number of votes to eight.

His vote was like a rallying cry, with legislators from various states casting large numbers of votes in favor.

In just two minutes, the number of votes in favor of the bill had reached 150 and was still rising.

About a minute later, the number of votes displayed on the electronic vote counting system reached 210, 211, 212... 218!

The House of Representatives has 435 seats. If it gets 218 votes, the bill will be considered to have passed.

The current Federal Reserve nationalization bill passed with almost unstoppable momentum, receiving 218 votes in one fell swoop.

It didn't stop until it reached 326 votes.

"Great! The Federal Reserve nationalization bill passed, and by such a large margin!"

"I thought this bill would be lucky to pass the House, but it passed by a landslide with 326 votes! It's unbelievable!"

"Wait a minute, voting in the House of Representatives is usually very close, it's rare for a vote to be so high, especially when it comes to something like the nationalization of the Federal Reserve. There's probably something we ordinary people don't know about!"

"Yes, the Federal Reserve nationalization bill has implications for the global economy, but have so many lawmakers reached a consensus on this nationalization?"

The easy passage of the Federal Reserve nationalization bill past the House of Representatives sparked heated discussions online.

Some people were happy that the bill passed, but some uninformed people were puzzled because they felt that the bill should not have received such an overwhelming number of votes.

Of course, it's only because they don't know how much work David has done for this bill over the past year that they wouldn't find it strange!

"pretty!"

"Nice!"

Meeting room of the State Taxation Administration.

Although they knew all along that the bill would definitely pass, Obadiah, Vertonghen, and the others still couldn't hide their excitement when it actually happened.

The nationalization of the Federal Reserve is not simply a matter of nationalizing the institution; it also brings it under the supervision of the IRS.

If this goes into operation in the future, how much more tax revenue will they be able to collect?

There are definitely far more laws against tax evasion in other jurisdictions!

White House.

"Hahaha, Kenney, Kenney, did you see that? What you couldn't do, I've accomplished! From now on, you'll have to look up to me!"

Inside his office, after seeing the bill pass the House of Representatives, Thompson burst into laughter.

Back then, the person with the wild idea only had this thought and spread the word, but he died before he could actually do anything about it.

But now, he has directly drafted and promoted it, which immediately shows the difference in their abilities!

"Alright, Father, the bill has only passed the House of Representatives. Let's wait until it's delivered to us and we sign it before we're happy!"

Upon hearing Ivanka's words, Thompson's unrestrained smile vanished, and he changed the subject, saying, "The House has passed it overwhelmingly, and I think the Senate is close to doing the same. Let's wait and see!" (End of Chapter)
