Chapter 401: The Angsa People’s Request for Peace
"Mr. President, why don't you just tell me what conditions you want in order to help us pass this bill?"

Seeing that Paiden refused to agree to such conditions, Augustine became a little impatient.

Paiden replied calmly, "I still say the same thing. As long as you can help me deal with David and stop him from manipulating the media to attack me, then this matter will naturally be easy to resolve. If you can't deal with him, then I have no choice..."

Augustine was choked by these words. If they could deal with David, why would they have to put so much effort into the House of Representatives, the Senate, and even the President?
This seems to be a vicious circle again!
"gentlemen……"

"..."

In order to make Paiden change his mind, the three of them took turns lobbying in the following time.

But no matter how they lobbied, even if they exerted a lot of pressure, Paiden remained unmoved, as if he had no choice. In the end, he even tactfully ordered the three people to leave.

The three of them had no choice but to stand up and leave the White House.

……

In the afternoon, when David was in his office dealing with follow-up matters, Keppel knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Inspector General, there is a man named Lei Zhe outside who wants to see you."

"Leizhe..."

David was a little surprised, but soon seemed to think of something, and then replied: "Then let him come over."

"it is good."

Not long after, Lei Zhe was brought in. When he saw David, he smiled cordially and said as if he was meeting a good friend: "Inspector General David, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?"

"Everything is fine. But Mr. Leizhe, I wonder what brought you to our IRS?"

Hearing this, Lei Zhe cursed in his heart, "Don't you know why I'm here, you bastard?"

Isn't this asking a question even though you already know the answer?
Although he cursed in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Inspector General David, as your former friend, we are now in Washington, I come to chat with your old friend, you won't be unwelcome, right?"

"Welcome, of course!"

"That's good……"

In the following time, Lei Zhe began to chat with David about their previous cooperation, such as the W aid bill, helping him to get to the top, and the details of dealing with the Freemasons. It was obvious that he wanted to restore their previous relationship.

Lei Zhe had no choice but to do this.

The tax avoidance bill has now passed both the House and Senate, and they also visited the White House not long ago. Padden can no longer withstand the pressure and is showing signs of taking back the bill for his signature.

Once this bill is signed into law, it will be a serious blow to the Freemasonry group, but this group of people still controls a hen that lays golden eggs - the Federal Reserve.

But their Angsa Group does not have a "blood-replenishing capsule" like the Federal Reserve.

Therefore, if this bill comes into effect and weakens their strength, who can guarantee that the Freemasonry groups, which now appear to be allies on the same front, will not take the opportunity to continue to erode their influence?

After all, before David appeared out of nowhere, the relationship between the Freemasons and the Ansa Group was not harmonious, and all it took was a fuse to start an all-out war.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence will always be true in this real world!

It is a shame for the Ansa Group to come and make peace with David, but as long as it can save the current situation, it is definitely worth it!
"Alas, I also miss the time when we first worked together. With your help, everything I did was much easier..."

David also showed a look of nostalgia for the past.

"Speaking of which, Inspector General David will come. We did have some minor disagreements before, but these disagreements can be resolved, and we may be able to become friends again in the days ahead. What do you think?"

"Mr. Lei Zhe, you might as well make your words clearer."

"Do you know where the most tax evasion is in America?"

"where?"

"Fed!"

"Fed?"

"Yes, the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. Since its establishment, it has taken over the currency of our United States. Today, more than 100 years later, it has become a financial monster that can affect the world. But the interesting thing is that because of the financial status of this institution, it has become like an emperor in our United States. Not to mention ordinary law enforcement agencies, even as powerful as your IRS, no one dared to touch this institution for so many years, right?"

David had no intention of refutation when he heard this.

That's right, since its establishment, the Federal Reserve has never paid even a penny in taxes to the IRS. This is something that everyone in the IRS knows well.

Of course, the IRS has also considered targeting the Federal Reserve over the years.

According to the historical archives of their IRS, in the 60s, a director of their IRS had once set his sights on this agency.

The director later even told this idea to then-President Kennedy, who also strongly agreed with the plan after hearing it.

What happened next is well known.

After obtaining the support of the IRS, President Kentucky immediately launched a plan to nationalize the Federal Reserve.

But what he didn't expect was that the Freemasons' solution would be so brutal, which directly opened his mind.

After seeing what happened to President Ken Nidi, their director at the time naturally no longer dared to have such thoughts.

So in the years that followed, although the Federal Reserve's non-payment of taxes disgusted countless people in the IRS, the IRS had no choice but to accept it.

It was not until the emergence of the powerful and capable David that the IRS began to think about completing the plan again!
"Mr. Lei Zhe, as far as I know, you are allies with the Freemasons. You openly talk about their invincible Federal Reserve in front of me. Aren't you afraid that they will find out and affect our relationship?"

David looked at the other person meaningfully.

"hehe."

Lei Zhe smiled with a hint of disdain and said, "There is actually no relationship between us."

Although the Ansa Group and the Freemasons are allies now, they are only forced to stand together because of this bill. When this bill is resolved, the two sides will probably not even try to cover up and will directly return to the previous state of tit-for-tat!
David was of course well aware that the two groups were forced to stand together just to deal with him, so he did not address the issue any further. He changed the subject and said, "Well, since you've mentioned the Federal Reserve, what else do you want to say?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to go after the Federal Reserve, right?"

"Mr. Lei Zhe, the issue of the Federal Reserve's tax revenue is the business of our IRS. It seems to be none of your business."

"Yes, taxation is indeed none of our business, but the Federal Reserve is the financial emperor of our America, and it is not easy for you to deal with them. What I want to say is that if you are willing, we are willing to lend you a helping hand!"

"What about the conditions?"

"hey-hey……"

Lei Zhe smiled slyly and replied, "The tax avoidance law is too harmful to our group. We hope you can show mercy and give up this law."

David was not surprised to hear this. He replied with a disdainful expression: "Mr. Lei Zhe, your group has made a good calculation."

"What do you mean?"

"The Federal Reserve is the lifeblood of the Freemasons. If we succeed, it will be equivalent to helping you weaken the Freemasons. In addition, you want me to give up this bill. You will take all the benefits."

"This……"

Lei Zhe was choked, but when he thought about it carefully, there was really nothing wrong with what David said.

First of all, if the tax avoidance law is abolished, it will naturally avoid major losses for their Angsa Group.

If the Federal Reserve suffers another blow, the biggest beneficiary will not only be the IRS. As a direct competitor, the Ann Sa Group will also benefit significantly.

"Cough cough..."

Lei Zhe smiled awkwardly and said, "You can't say that. The cross-regional tax avoidance law may seem to bring a lot of tax revenue to your IRS, but compared to the Federal Reserve, this amount of tax revenue is actually just a drop in the bucket. With our help, it will be easier for you to move the Federal Reserve, so it's not a loss."

"I will handle the Federal Reserve's affairs. It is not your turn to make comments. As for the tax avoidance bill, there is no need to talk about it. This bill must be enacted into law!"

He had put so much effort into this bill and now it was just the finishing touch. How could David give up?

"Okay, Inspector General David, since you are unwilling to give up this law, we can settle for the next best thing. I hope that some changes will be made to the law so that the companies under our group can enjoy immunity. Is that okay?"

"I'm sorry, this bill has gone through all the improvements, proposals, and covering regulations, and it is definitely impossible to make changes at this time!"

"How can it not be changed? The bill has not yet been passed. With your influence, you want to make some changes. Is there anyone who dares to disagree?"

Lei Zhe's tone was a little anxious. Are you kidding? Now most members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and even the President, have to look at David's face.

It's just a bill. Let alone amending some of the provisions therein, even if it is sent back to the House of Representatives for improvement, how many people would dare to oppose it?

"The regulations of this bill have been finalized. To make changes to it would be a direct denial of the bill and it is not in accordance with the process, so I can only say sorry."

With David's current control over both houses, he is certainly able to make some changes to the bill.

But if the regulations were amended to give companies under the Angsa Group immunity, what would others think?
Others may think that the IRS is making special arrangements or has accepted some benefits from the Angsa Group, allowing its companies to enjoy exemptions.

Besides, he has not forgotten the previous assassination. The Angsa Group was also one of the participants. How could he not avenge such a life-and-death feud?
As for the affairs of the Federal Reserve, although it would be easier with the help of the Ann Sa Group, given David's current reputation in the United States and his control over Congress, he does not necessarily need the Ann Sa Group.

"David, this is our bottom line. Are you unwilling to agree to this?"

Lei Zhe was really anxious, and without any polite words like Inspector General, he directly called David by his name.

"I think there is no need to discuss this matter any further."

"Okay, okay, okay! David, I hope you don't regret it!"

After saying "good" three times in a row, Lei Zhe stood up angrily, slammed the door and left.

……

In the remaining two days, the issue of tax avoidance will remain the focus of the entire America.

Given that the White House sent the bill back to the Senate and a scandal broke out, many people naturally vented their anger on Paden, constantly abusing her on major social media platforms.

Finally, after the third day, the White House seemed unable to withstand the pressure and announced that it would hold a press conference to make an update on the bill.

At ten o'clock in the morning, David Obadiah Vertonghen and other senior officials of the IRS walked into the conference room together, their eyes fixed on the big screen.

At this moment, the big screen was showing the White House press conference hall, and a large number of media had gathered in the hall.

A few minutes later, the White House spokesperson walked out of the corridor, came to the spotlight, and said, "Hello everyone, the issue of the tax avoidance bill has become the focus of the whole country in recent days. Today, on behalf of the White House, I will make the latest statement on the bill!"

"First of all, the reason why the bill was sent back to the Senate by the President is because the bill is of great importance and the President is also concerned about some of the provisions and regulations. Therefore, the bill was sent back to the Senate to make a report and explain it first. It is not like what the outside world has said that he will directly refuse to sign it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

"So the president didn't refuse to sign the bill, but just wanted to know more about the bill?"

"If that's the case, that's great. As long as the president understands it and is willing to sign, we will still support him!"

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry and get the bill back from the Senate for signature!"

"..."

Since the president sent the bill back to the Senate, everyone subconsciously thought that this was a direct refusal to sign it.

And they really overlooked one problem, that is, neither the White House nor Payne himself directly stated publicly that they would refuse to sign.

Now, after hearing what the White House spokesperson said, it turns out that there is hope for the situation, which naturally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
