American Tax Officer

Chapter 659: Chapter 332: Freemasonry Euphoria
 

David glanced at the photo and then said, “Heh, if I had to choose, I would have accepted your proposal long ago, Mr. Sean.”

A complex expression appeared on Sean’s face upon hearing this.

He had seen David’s potential from the beginning, which is why he had planned to have his daughter enter into a strategic marriage with him, but unfortunately, David had not agreed.

“Mr. Sean, please relay to them that I will complete the additional funding as agreed, but I must decline when it comes to the matter of my life’s happiness.”

It wasn’t that marrying a woman was a problem; he wasn’t married nor did he have a girlfriend.

But the point was, the woman he would marry was not ordinary—it was equivalent to handing over a declaration of allegiance to the Ansa Group.

If David compromised on this matter and agreed to a marriage alliance with the Ansa Group, he would be branded with their label.

And given the nature of the Angsa people, they would definitely want him to introduce various tax policies in the future or reduce tax rates for their enterprises, all to profit themselves.

And if those with ulterior motives, say, the Freemasonry Group he was fiercely battling now, caught wind of this, they could label him as a spokesperson for vested interests and propagate it among the public, leaving him unable to defend himself even with ten mouths.

He was still young and with an “external support” on his side, he had smoothly entered the decision-making circle of the Internal Revenue Service. Without any mishaps, he could endure and become the head of the IRS, no need to take such a risk.

Sean seemed to have anticipated David’s stance, not showing much surprise, and continued, “There’s something you should know beforehand. According to the information we received, the Jewish People are planning to target your tax legislation. It seems that they intend to concentrate their efforts on repealing the bill before the midterm elections.”

David was taken aback by this, but quickly regained composure and sneered, “Well, let’s see if they can pull it off!”

If this had been earlier, David would have been somewhat worried.

But let’s not forget, he had obtained compromising material on politicians from Lolita Island.

The reason why he had kept it to himself and not released it was firstly because his position was not secure enough at the time, which would have entailed risks, and secondly, there hadn’t been a need to use it yet.

But things were different now.

He had now entered the decision-making circle of the IRS, and with that status, even if people knew he possessed that compromising material, they would probably not dare to do anything.

And if the Freemasonry truly dared to pursue the repeal of the tax legislation, he would activate that compromising material to threaten the congressmen, ensuring they wouldn’t act recklessly.

If that wasn’t sufficient, he would personally collect dirt on those supporting the repeal of the legislation; he didn’t believe it would be difficult for him.

Sean looked at David somewhat surprised.

He had thought that upon hearing this news, David might be shocked, or even reconsider the proposal from the Three Major Families, given how important the tax legislation was. If the Freemasonry was determined to repeal it, it would be tough for the IRS to handle without the Ansa Group’s support.

Yet, to his surprise, not only was David not shocked, he seemed quite confident he could handle it.

“By the way, Mr. Sean, I do have a question I’d like to ask you.”

David’s words pulled Sean out of his thoughts, and he replied, “What is it?”

“If I’m not mistaken, if I don’t agree to the Three Major Families’ proposal, they’re likely to stand by and watch the Freemasonry attempt to repeal the tax legislation, correct?”@@novelbin@@

“That’s right, if necessary, they might even support the Freemasonry.”

Sean was quite frank, as he was well aware of these people’s nature.

“And what about you? What’s your stance?”

Looking straight into David’s eyes, Sean’s expression turned serious.

Of course, he understood that the other party was asking him to pick a side.

He thought the best and most certain victory was if David, along with the Ansa Group, jointly confronted the Freemasonry.

But the ambition of the Three Major Families was too great; they even aimed to control David, which was causing the alliance to show signs of falling apart.

And if the alliance disintegrated, what would become of his profound vendetta?

After a long pondering, Sean finally said with a grim expression, “I don’t care what the Three Major Families do, but I am definitely on your side!”

The President who had persecuted his family had the involvement of the Three Major Families.

Though ostensibly, he was still a part of the Ansa Group, his family had been at odds with the group’s inner circle since the President incident.

Currently, only David had the capacity to strike at the Freemasonry and avenge him, so there was no way he would give up such an opportunity for revenge for the sake of the Three Major Families’ interests.

Even if he failed to get revenge, as long as he could cause significant harm or loss to the Freemasonry, it would be worth it!

“Mr. Sean, trust me, you’ve made the right choice!”

David was pleased with the response and then smoothly changed the topic, “Oh, another question for you. I know your family has a deep-seated enmity with the Freemasonry, but if you could take revenge on them, what kind of price would you be willing to pay?”

“Any price!”

“Does that include your life?”

Sean was taken aback, but quickly gathered himself and replied, “If necessary, it is not out of the question!”
