American Tax Officer

Chapter 640: Chapter 322: Want to be the Director of the FBI_2
 

And in the FBI, he didn’t yet have his own man.

The FBI, as one of the top three law enforcement agencies in America, naturally, if he could control this organization, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Thinking it over, Gavin was naturally the most suitable candidate.

This guy had already acquired significant standing in the FBI, and by arranging for him to gain some political achievements and reputation, it seemed there would be no problem for him to enter the decision-making circle of the FBI in the future.

“Ha-ha, Director David, if you want me dead, just say it directly, no need to make fun of me like this!”

If before Gavin was just dissatisfied, now he was outright angry.

In America, who didn’t know that the News Corporation was the spokesperson for Freemasonry?

And he, having just offended a Stevenson, had already ended up removed from his position; if he directly targeted such a core propaganda arm, he’d likely end up dead without knowing how.

That group of Jewish People, whether they could handle David or not, but handling him, an agent without great power now, wouldn’t that be easy?

“Why be so pessimistic, Agent Gavin? If you announce an investigation into the News Corporation and ultimately bring them to justice, you would be hailed as a hero daring to expose darkness. Wouldn’t it earn you immense reputation, not to mention escape the insignificant days you currently endure?”

“Although my current days are insignificant, at least I haven’t yet lost my life. If I go investigate the News Corporation, I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t end up dead in the streets someday.”

“Agent Gavin, do you really think this is just a struggle between me and Freemasonry? Let me tell you the truth, the people who most want to see Freemasonry dead are probably not even me!”@@novelbin@@

Hearing this, Gavin’s expression changed, and after a moment of flickering gaze, he asked, “Are you saying… the Ansa Group would also be involved in this?”

Being able to serve as a high-ranking official of the FBI in one state, he naturally knew many insider stories. From the support of the W Act, he could already see that there should be some collusion between David and the Ansa Group.

“This is an excellent opportunity to cut off Freemasonry’s tool of propaganda and packaging. If you were them, would you just stand by and watch?”

Over the years, the Ansa Group and Freemasonry’s rivalry, both overt and covert, was something everyone could see.

And now, with David pushing against Freemasonry, the Ansa Group would certainly be very happy and willing to see this.

So, if he were a person from the Ansa Group, seeing such a good opportunity arise, he would want to kick their adversary while they were down.

With this thought, a hint of emotion appeared on Gavin’s face.

If this was a struggle between David and Freemasonry, then stepping forward could likely mean being eliminated as an instigator, but if the Ansa Group was standing behind him as well, his chances of success could be huge.

Once successful, like David had previously mentioned, this could be a great accomplishment and would also accumulate tremendous prestige for him.

By then, not to mention returning to a prestigious state position, with his experience, ascending to the higher ranks of the FBI wasn’t something impossible.

After all, 9/11 was a pain felt across all of America.

And once the News Corporation was proven guilty of monitoring victims’ families, him being celebrated as a hero for exposing this affair, his achievements and prestige would truly be significant.

“Agent Gavin, if you want to get ahead in the political scene of America, sometimes you have to choose the right camp and seize the right opportunities, otherwise, you might as well resign and retire early.”

David’s words brought Gavin back to his senses, his expression grave as he said, “That’s the truth, but you also know the power of Freemasonry is no small thing, they could easily target me…”

David heard the underlying fear that he was being used as a pawn, and immediately responded, “Agent Gavin, there are so many of us in the FBI, I could easily have someone else do this job, but do you know why I chose you?”

“Why?”

“Because I see potential in you, and I think you are a very capable person. Given time, maybe you, steering the ship of the FBI, wouldn’t be unimaginable.”

To get him to investigate the News Corporation on his behalf, David didn’t hesitate to make a big promise.

But for Gavin, this promise was pretty enticing.

Because he had already heard that David seemed to have the intention to support him.

And thinking about it, the FBI being one of the top three powerful law enforcement agencies in America, it was normal for David, with so many enemies now, to need the help of this agency.

Additionally, David had experienced their means before. Over this period, he had particularly troubled the influential Jewish People to near despair, and with the help of Ansa Group, if he were to join them, his chances of soaring high were indeed substantial.

“So, since it’s like that, what do you need me to do?”

Gavin was not one to hesitate. The opportunity before him was one that could let him turn over a new leaf and rise up. Moreover, the chance of success was not small, and naturally, he intended to seize it.

“In this way…”

In the time that followed, David gave Gavin a detailed briefing until, two hours later, they finally left the office.

…

Five days quickly passed.

During these days, the media continued to relentlessly pursue David about the promotion issue, and when no news came from the Internal Revenue Service Headquarters, the members of Freemasonry started celebrating.

Normally, since the IRS had already released rumors of transferring David to the headquarters, it should have been officially announced by now.

But more than a week had passed, and the Internal Revenue Service Headquarters had still not made an official announcement or indicated any next steps.

What did this mean?

It meant that the IRS definitely thought the public opinion pressure was too great and had to put aside or directly abandon this personnel change.

And Freemasonry’s relentless pursuit of David was to prevent his promotion to the headquarters, which it seemed, they now had accomplished!

However, before they could celebrate for long, on September 26, a piece of news from the CBS Television stunned Freemasonry.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is CBS Television. According to insiders, the FBI has secured evidence related to the News Corporation phone hacking scandal and is preparing to reopen the investigation. Stay tuned for more updates from our station…”

The news was brief, but its contents caused a huge stir, instantly trending on major social platforms.

“Holy crap, News Corporation’s phone hacking scandal? Are they talking about the hacking of the families of the 9/11 victims?”

“That scandal was huge back then. It was said that the FBI conducted a sweeping investigation, but it ended with no evidence found. Could it be that the FBI has new evidence now?”

“If News Corporation is indeed found guilty of hacking into the phones of the 9/11 victims’ families, then they truly deserve to be punished. Let’s see what the follow-up investigation reports say…”

…

As previously mentioned, 9/11 was a pain for all Americans. Now, with this news being released, the public had no interest in whether David was promoted or not. Everyone was engaged in discussing this topic.

New York, News Corporation Headquarters.

“Not only do we need to push with domestic media, but our international channels should also get involved. Aim to elevate this issue to an international level; make it as big as possible. Did you get that?”

“Understood, Mr. Murdoch.”

“Good, go ahead.”

After his subordinate left, Murdoch’s lips curled into a smile.

Over this period, his maneuvering had effectively hindered David’s promotion, achieving quite favorable results.

He had even received a personal call of commendation from Henrietta, clearly pleased with himself.

Assuming his media continued to exert pressure, then the IRS Headquarters would definitely give up on promoting David completely.

And then, when he proposed to take a share from the Federal Reserve, who would dare to oppose?

As for Henrietta, would she dare to say no?

If she didn’t agree, who would want to come out and do this thankless task when the group faced such crises next time?
