American tax officials

Chapter 456 Many Years Later (The Finale)

"You bastard!"

Henrietta and the others were so angry that their faces contorted with rage.

Seeing this group of people in such a state, Sean, Serena, and the rest of the Kennedy family were naturally extremely pleased.

The humiliation we have suffered over the years has finally been repaid today!

"Henrietta, your Freemasonry has developed for so many years, and now it has been destroyed by your hand. You will be infamous for eternity!"

Sean uttered another hurtful remark, which made Henrietta's expression even more ferocious, her eyes turning a terrifying bloodshot.

"Alright, all of you listen up. I'm here to ask you to go back and cooperate with the investigation. If anyone dares to resist or disobey, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing that the Kennedy family had vented their anger, David stopped talking nonsense.

Faced with armed IRS personnel, the Freemasons, already like fish on a chopping block, dared not resist and could only obediently follow the armed personnel toward the dock.

Soon, the once crowded scene was reduced to only Henrietta, Joshua, and other core Freemasons.

"Mr. Prescott, what do I need?"

Upon hearing David's words, Henrietta Joshua and the others were momentarily stunned, but they quickly recovered and turned their attention to Prescott.

Faced with the questioning looks from the crowd, Prescott was somewhat embarrassed, but he finally spoke up: "In an office on the third floor."

"Take my men and get it!"

"Prescott, what are you doing!"

Faced with Henrietta's angry question, Prescott dared not answer and quickly followed Larin into the building.

Seven or eight minutes later, the two returned, with Larin carrying a cardboard box filled with densely packed documents and materials.

"Prescott, you bastard, you're the traitor!"

Not long ago, they plotted an assassination of David, but the entire plan was leaked, leading them to suspect that there might be a traitor within the group.

But what they didn't expect was that the traitor was Prescott!

David picked up the documents in the box and examined them, discovering that they were all core secrets of the Freemasons accumulated over the years. He then nodded and said, "Very good, Mr. Prescott. I'll need to trouble you again with the follow-up matters concerning the Federal Reserve."

"it is good."

Perhaps feeling guilty, Prescott didn't say much, only uttering a soft "okay".

"Let's go, everyone!"

David turned and left, went to the dock, boarded a speedboat, and returned to the aircraft carrier.

Seneca Island is only about 20 kilometers away from New York as the crow flies, so the carrier strike group quickly returned to Vatnajökull.

"Make the arrangements to bring Henrietta, Joshua, Eunice... these people back to Washington, D.C., and hand the rest over to the New York City Department of Police!"

This involves too many people, so David's idea is to let go of some of the less important Freemasons as long as they are willing to pay a hefty price.

Otherwise, sending so many people to prison would cause a great deal of public outcry, no matter how high his reputation is in America now.

……

"According to Reuters, just now, some of the legendary key figures of Freemasonry have been involved in tax issues and have been taken away by the IRS. Please stay tuned for further reports."

"This is the BBC. We have an important news briefing: some of the biggest figures on Wall Street who are also Freemasons have been taken into custody by the IRS for suspected tax evasion. Stay tuned for further reports..."

Such a major event as the complete annihilation of the Freemasons could not possibly be kept secret from everyone. Soon, major media outlets received the news and began to report on it extensively.

In Washington, at the Astonish family's estate, the Anssa people also received word of the news and gathered there in full force.

"I heard some news from the person in charge of Wadharma Port in New York. Apparently, around noon, David and the Kennedy family boarded the USS Kennedy, which was docked there, went out to sea, and brought back hundreds of people, all Freemasons, including Henrietta, Joshua, and their group!"

"Yes, the news is going viral. David is really ruthless; he actually sent an aircraft carrier fleet to Senado Island to wipe out the Freemasons!"

"With it falling into David's hands, the Freemasonry group is essentially wiped out. It's truly a pity..."

"I believe the wisest decision we made before was to cede some of our interests and protect ourselves; otherwise, we would probably be no better off than the Freemasons today."

At this point, the Onsa people present felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, they didn't follow the Freemasons down the same path, otherwise, it wouldn't just be the Freemasons that would be destroyed today, but also their Onsa Group.

"Alright, now that the Freemasons have been destroyed, the Illuminati will likely take action soon. We can't let them snatch all the benefits first; let's get started!"

The demise of the Freemasons will inevitably create a vacuum in the various industries they control, which will be a good opportunity for the Onsa people to seize.

Bright Island.

The Illuminati members who were summoned to discuss the matter were quite shocked upon hearing that the Freemasons had been wiped out.

However, they quickly put that aside. What mattered to them now was to seize the share of profits vacated by the Freemasons!

……

The following day, the IRS held a press conference to explain the Freemasons' situation to everyone and acknowledge that these individuals were involved in tax issues.

This news caused a nationwide sensation.

For the remaining week or so, the Freemasonry issue remained a hot topic.

"Inspector General, those Freemasons in New York have all been apprehended. Here is the report!"

In the office, David took the report Larin handed him and began to examine it carefully.

As he had anticipated, these guys, who had become fish on the chopping block, were naturally willing to pay money to buy their freedom.

However, it is worth mentioning that more than 5000 billion yuan was squeezed out of this group of people. It has to be said that the wealth accumulated by this group of people over the years is really substantial!

"Inspector General, Joshua and Eunice want to see you."

Just then, Kepper walked in and said.

David pondered for a moment, then nodded, stood up, and went to a meeting room on the floor where Joshua and his group were being held.

Soon, the two were brought in.

"Speak, what do you want to say to me?"

"I've heard about what happened in New York. If you're willing to let me go, I'm willing to hand over 50%... no, 70% of my family's assets!"

"I'm also willing to hand over 70% of my assets!"

As top figures in the United States, when had these two ever been detained like this before, and for a whole week at that? It was driving them crazy.

So they no longer cared about their hatred for David, and only thought about regaining their freedom!

"hehe."

David looked at the two of them as if they were idiots and said sarcastically, "If I were you, I'd be willing to give you 100% of the assets, let alone 70%!"

"you……"

Joshua was taken aback by this, but being under someone else's roof, he finally forced himself to say, "80%!"

David remained unmoved, looking at him as if he were a fool.

"90 percent, that's my limit. After all, with such a large family like mine, it's impossible to move an inch without money."

"Don't even mention 90%, even if you hand over everything, you still won't regain your freedom. Think about what you've done to me!"

"You... David, you fucking deserve to die!"

Feeling cheated, the two almost lost their temper. If the detainees hadn't held them back, they might have rushed forward and attacked.

"Enjoy your time here; you'll miss it when you're in prison."

After saying that, David turned and left.

……

June 11th is a day that many people are paying attention to.

According to the IRS notification, today will be the day of a court hearing for some key figures in the Freemasonry group.

We will soon find out what kind of punishment these people will receive for their tax issues.

"Inspector General, all the indictment materials for the personnel are ready, and Judge Devin's side is also ready."

Inside the office, after hearing Larin's report, David nodded, then left the office and went to the 6th floor.

The sixth floor houses a courtroom within the IRS, and at this moment, a large number of invited observers have gathered there, taking advantage of the break to exchange information.

"Inspector General David."

Upon seeing David arrive, many people immediately stopped talking and greeted him.

David nodded slightly, exchanged a few words, and then walked into the courtroom first.

At 9:30, everyone had entered the courtroom and was waiting for the trial to begin.

Soon, Judge Devin, who was presiding over the trial, came to his seat, struck the gavel, and announced the start of the trial.

In the passageway, Henrietta, Joshua, Eunice, and other core Freemasons, who were once high and mighty, were brought out.

At this moment, they were pale and their eyes were lifeless, clearly showing that their long period of detention had caused them great suffering.

"Defendants Henrietta, Joshua, Eunice... This court now charges you with multiple crimes, including tax evasion, malicious mergers, and embezzlement of state assets. What do you have to say?"

"..."

The court hearing proceeded smoothly for nearly two hours.

During this period, the IRS released a large amount of confidential data about the Freemason group, revealing numerous tax evasion and criminal activities that the group has been suspected of committing over the years.

Both Henrietta and their defense lawyers have no way to refute these facts and can only await their fate.

"In this trial, the defendants Henrietta, Joshua, Younes... are found guilty of tax evasion, malicious mergers, and embezzlement of state assets, and are each sentenced to 800 years imprisonment with no possibility of parole!"

With Judge Devin's pronouncement of the verdict, the trial came to an end.

Sean, his father Emerson, and members of the Kennedy family also came to listen in. Upon hearing the result, they all cheered and celebrated.

After finishing his celebration with his family, Sean approached David and said, "Chief Inspector David, my greatest wish in this life has been fulfilled. Now, even if I were to die, I would have no regrets!"

"You flatter me, Mr. Sean. You have a long road ahead of you."

Sean smiled and said, "Our family is hosting a celebratory dinner tonight. I wonder if Inspector General David has time to attend?"

"Can."

The Freemasonry issue has been settled, and he now has some free time.

……

In the days that followed, David stopped running around as usual, and his life gradually became more ordinary.

His daily work involves handling his own administrative tasks within the department, as well as keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve and the subsequent tax issues related to the off-site tax avoidance law.

And just like that, four years passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Obadiah called him into his office and said with a smile, "Inspector General David, after these past few years of reflection, I think you're ready. So I've submitted my resignation to the President and recommended you for the next director!"

"Well... alright, Chief, I respect whatever decision you make!"

David didn't pretend to be flattered or anything.

In fact, in the year or two after the Freemasons were executed, Obadiah had expressed his intention to leave the Freemasonry several times, but David stopped him each time on the grounds that he was not ready.

Now that Thompson is ready to step down, it is appropriate for him to take the helm of the IRS at this juncture.

A week later, David's nomination was officially approved by the Senate, and he achieved his ultimate goal, ascending to the highest seat in the IRS.

Under his leadership, the IRS enjoyed its golden age in the years that followed, becoming one of the most influential agencies in American history.

……

Decades later, a group of elementary school students were invited to visit the headquarters of the IRS.

One of the little girls was immediately drawn to the head badges on the wall as soon as she stepped into the lobby.

But soon, her attention was drawn to a unique metal-framed portrait.

"Teacher, who is this David...? Why is his portrait different from the others on the wall?"

The little girl scratched her head, looking puzzled, and asked.

A female teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses in front of her fell into thought upon hearing this, and then replied, "He used to be the director of our State Taxation Bureau, and he was also one of our heroes. Many of the benefits you enjoy now are related to him. There are many stories about his deeds. You are still young, and you can learn about them slowly in the future."

"As for why his portrait is different from others, it's because he was the IRS commissioner who made the greatest contributions, so the IRS created this unique portrait to show their respect for him!"

"oh……"

The little girl seemed to understand, but not quite, and her big eyes began to scrutinize the metal head again.
