Chapter 390 Vote Again
"Yeah, I know. Look at this Senator Yuna."

David nodded, then took out his cell phone and opened a video in front of her.

When Yuna saw the video, her expression changed instantly and she screamed, "Inspector General David, what's going on?"

"Senator Yuna, I know your daughter is controlled by some 'extremists'. They forced you to stand against me, but you don't have to worry now. Last night I had the CIA and FBI take action to rescue your daughter. She is safe now!"

"Oh my god, thank God for your blessing!"

Seeing that her daughter was safe, Yuna's eyes were soaked with tears and she kept mumbling to herself to express her gratitude.

But at this moment, Munson interrupted dissatisfiedly: "The person you should thank most is our Inspector General, not God!"

After hearing this, Yuna regained some of her composure and immediately turned her attention to David.

After hearing that her daughter was safe, she was really overwhelmed. Now that she thinks about it carefully, the Inspector General David in front of her is really capable.

I have heard that the other party has a great influence on the CIA and FBI, but I didn't expect that these two major organizations would dare to get involved in something that would obviously bring trouble.

And the most important thing is that her daughter was rescued only one night after being controlled by someone. This kind of action ability is truly amazing.

"Inspector General David, no matter what, I must thank you for this matter. I owe you a huge favor..."

"No need to owe me any favors. Just help me pass that bill today, and we'll be even!"

David said bluntly.

"This...I'm sorry, other than this matter, Inspector General David, I can do whatever you need me to do!"

Yuna hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and refused.

The reason is simple. Even though her daughter is safe now, it is only safe now.

But if she really dared to vote for David, there was no guarantee that the three major groups would be so angry that they would do something cruel to her and her family.

After all, these capitalists are inhumane, so to be on the safe side, she gritted her teeth and refused.

As for whether this kind of gratitude without seeking repayment would offend David?

That would mean offending them. After all, there is a big difference between David and those capitalists.

That is, although David is ruthless, he would never do something like kidnapping and threatening his family.

The three major groups are different.

Take the Freemasons for example. This group of people are willing to kill even the president for their own interests. What else can they not do?
"Fuck, Senator Yuna, please don't be so ungrateful!"

Before David could say anything, Munson couldn't help himself.

Why did they go to so much trouble?
Isn't it just to get Yuna to vote for their bill?

But now Yuna actually said that she could do anything except this. Was she kidding them?
"okay!"

David waved his hand to signal Munson to calm down, then looked at Yuna and said, "Senator Yuna, you should know that I don't owe you a favor so easily!"

"This... Inspector General David, this won't work anyway. I hope you can understand my difficulties!"

Yuna still showed no sign of giving in.

David frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Senator Yuna? I don't ask you to vote for our bill. You just need to vote to bypass their speeches and delay it. In this way, the three major groups won't be too angry with you. What do you think?"

As things stand now, they still have the advantage in votes.

The only difficulty is that this speech delays the process.

As long as this speech procedure is bypassed, the current number of votes should be enough to pass the bill.

After all, only 51 votes are needed to pass, and the previous round of voting has shown that they have obtained 58 votes, so passing should not be a problem.

Yuna hesitated for a moment, raised her head and said, "If you just let me vote and bypass the speech, then I can accept it!"

What David said is indeed correct.

Judging from the current fierce battle situation, if she dares to vote in favor of the passage of this bill, she will most likely be retaliated by the three major groups out of anger.

But if she just votes to bypass the speech, even though the three major groups will be unhappy, they probably won't kill her.

So after thinking about it carefully, Yuna finally compromised.

After all, she knew that David was not someone to be trifled with, and he had rescued her daughter, so it was not easy for her to refuse anything.

"Okay Senator Yuna, that's it!"

After leaving Yuna's suite, David immediately went to the residence of another senator, Mandel.

David did the same thing as Yuna. As soon as he arrived in front of Senator Mandel, he immediately took out the video of his son being rescued.

Mandel was naturally extremely excited when he saw his family being rescued.

But next, when David got straight to the point, Mandel, like Yuna before, seemed to be frightened by the move of the three major groups and was unwilling to vote in favor of their bill.

In desperation, David could only use the same old trick again and let the other party just agree to bypass the vote on the speech like Yuna.

After careful consideration, Mandel finally agreed to this request reluctantly.

After dealing with these two congressmen, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

Because the voting session in Congress today will still be held at 9.30:, there is only half an hour left.

"Call Elvis and Gavin separately and ask them to 'appease' those congressmen and try to ensure that there won't be any mistakes in the voting process later."

"Understood Inspector General!"

After David's explanation, time flew by and it was 9.20:.

David also came to the IRS conference room, where Obadiah, Vertonghen, Donald and other senior executives were already there. When they saw him come in, everyone looked at him eagerly.

"The speech program shouldn't be able to stop us today!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped asking questions and turned their attention to the big screen, ready to watch the next development carefully. On Capitol Hill, a large number of media reporters had also arrived at the scene.

"Hello everyone, this is the Washington Post. After a long discussion in Congress yesterday, there is still no conclusion on the tax avoidance bill. Let's see if there will be a new round of progress on the bill today!"

"..."

All the major well-known media outlets have begun their pre-meeting coverage.

"Shit, this bill has enough votes to pass, but Congress has a speech process that never ends. It's so annoying!"

"I think the speech procedure is unreasonable. You can speak for an hour or so, but how can there be no time limit?"

"Strongly call for the cancellation of this speech program!"

"..."

The bill failed to pass yesterday due to the speech procedure, which caused great dissatisfaction among the supporters of the bill.

As a new round of parliamentary sessions is about to be convened, these supporters have been constantly calling for action on major social media platforms.

At the same time, on Senado Island.

Henrietta, the seven major families and the core members of the Freemasons were all present, and they were currently conducting a trilateral video conference.

"How is the situation going, Chief Edgar?"

This kidnapping was carried out by the National Security Agency which is controlled by the Illuminati, so everyone looked at Edgar at this moment.

"Although I have been very cautious in this matter, it was still discovered by those bastards from the CIA and FBI. Last night, Yuna and Mandel's family members were rescued by the CIA and FBI tactical teams..."

Although he was very reluctant to tell this matter, at this critical juncture, he did not dare to deceive the people from the two major groups, so Edgar could only tell the truth.

"What! How did you manage to let the CIA and FBI know about such an important matter and let them rescue the families of the two senators?"

"Fuck Edgar, didn't I tell you to be careful about this matter? How could you handle it so inappropriately?"

"It would have been fine if the two major departments knew about it, but they were able to rescue the person. Edgar, you handled it so badly!"

Upon hearing such unfavorable news, not only the Freemasons present, but even the Ansa Group on the other end of the video were extremely dissatisfied.

Edgar's mouth was a little bitter, but he still defended himself, "I have been very careful in this matter, but I think you all need to understand one thing. The CIA is the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, and the FBI's domestic intelligence system should not be underestimated. It is not realistic to do such a big thing under the noses of these two major departments without being discovered!"

He really wasn't just making up excuses for himself.

Just as he said, the CIA was founded on intelligence, and the FBI is no pushover. If they were targeting an ordinary person, it might be okay, but now they are targeting senators of a country, and so many of them. So they were monitored by these two major agencies. You can't blame them entirely for their incompetence, right?
"No matter what, this matter is your responsibility!"

"That's right. We finally made this potentially dire decision and we also withstood so much pressure for you. But you ended up like this. It's really disappointing!"

"..."

The Freemasons and the Ansa Group continued to make accusations.

But at this moment, Henrietta raised her skinny right hand, and everyone tactfully fell silent.

Then he turned to Edgar and asked, "Anything else you want to add?"

"Mr. Henrietta, even though the CIA and FBI knew about this and they rescued some people, it's not entirely against us."

"According to reports from my staff, many senators have become afraid to take any action because of this incident."

"Some people have even contacted me through special channels, asking me to show mercy and not harm their families, and they are willing to vote for us!"

Edgar was able to remain calm even when being scolded by the two major groups. Naturally, he must have some hidden cards.

And this is his trump card!
Sure enough, after hearing the news, the members of the two major groups who were originally dissatisfied also breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is true, then this operation cannot be considered a failure.

As long as those senators are made to hesitate, even if they support the bill in their hearts, it is hard to say whether they can vote in favor of it.

"In that case, let's see what the results are today!"

……

Amid the discussions from all sides, the time came to 9.30:.

In the Senate, all senators are in their seats.

Today, the majority leader Grace is still in charge of the Senate.

He walked up to the stage and said with a big smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Grace. Regarding the tax avoidance bill, I went back to study it last night and came up with some new questions. Here, I want to express my opinion..."

After a night of recovery, Grace came up with so many questions from nowhere and started talking about them incessantly.

Of course, this naturally caused abuse from the supporting lawmakers on the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast.

After spending half an hour tirelessly.

Raglan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and interrupted, "Grace, what you said has already been discussed in the House Committee. I think we should not waste time!"

"Senator Raglan, according to the provisions of the Parliamentary Act, I have the right to repeatedly point out the problems with this bill!"

Grace gave Raglan a disdainful look, which seemed to tell him: I'm just a bitch, what can you do to me?
"Really? Well, I won't waste my time talking to you, so I'm going to request a vote to bypass the speech process!"

Hearing this, Grace narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that Raglan had the right to make this request.

So even though he wanted to refuse in his heart, he pretended to be democratic on the surface and replied: "Senator Raglan, you are right. Since you initiated this request, then all right, let's start the vote now!"

"Yesterday, 58 senators agreed. Now we only need two more. Are there any colleagues who will vote in favor today?"

Voting on a speech is different from voting on a bill.

Whether a bill is voted on in the Senate or the House of Representatives, if it does not have enough votes, it will be aborted. Even if it is re-initiated, the votes will be recounted.

However, a speech vote will not reopen the vote.

In other words, if the number of votes yesterday was 58, then it would be a fixed number of votes. If only two more senators voted in favor today, it would take effect!
