Chapter 721 -361: Lone Boat in Texas_2

“Chief Inspector David, our family’s influence in Congress is limited, but we can also offer help in other ways, please understand…”

“Chief Inspector David, you know that our family has shifted its focus to business over the years, and our influence in the political arena has also been declining. We don’t have much clout in Congress either, you see…”

Godas and Charlie by his side were also expressing their grievances in agreement.

In theory, Texas, as America’s thorniest state, and The Big Three Families being the most influential families in the state, should have no reason to fear David like this.

But they had no choice; in recent years, the state had been leaping too boldly and had been severely restricted by the American Government.

And David was a tough character, and with the Internal Revenue Service behind him even harder to mess with, their families had decided, after some deliberation, not to offend the Internal Revenue Service and David unless absolutely necessary.

...

Otherwise, already restricted by the American Government, they would face sanctions from the powerful IRS, which would indeed make things very difficult for them.

David was not in a hurry. He listened to them finish speaking and then slowly said, “Are you done?”

“Hm?”

The three were taken aback, then exchanged glances with each other, not understanding what David meant.

David turned his head toward Mr. Baisemai and said, “Mr. Baisemai seems to have a rather poor memory, so allow me to help you recall. Your family has funded 14 seats in the House of Congressmen for this state, and one of the only two Senators is also sponsored by you. Are you calling that limited influence in Congress?”

The named Mr. Baisemai’s face stiffened upon hearing this.

Being from his own family, he certainly knew the number of Congressmen his family had.

And David was right, their family had indeed sponsored that many Congresspeople.

Unexpectedly, the other party had clearly investigated their background thoroughly, suggesting they came prepared. This was going to be difficult…

Ignoring Mr. Baisemai’s stiff expression, David turned his gaze to Charlie and said, “Mr. Godas, as far as I know, Zechariah, Tang, Jeremiah… these 13 Congressmen were all cultivated by your family. Is this massive congressional group suggesting that your family’s political influence is waning? Or do you think that a dozen Congressmen in Congress are now incapable of having any effect?”

“This…”

Charlie, the one pointed out, was also left speechless.

Even just one Congressman, if they publicly criticized a certain bill or policy, could cause a huge uproar in America.

Let alone their family controlling more than a dozen.

Now that David had pointed it out so explicitly, it was as if he was mocking Charlie’s earlier statement as a blatant lie.

“And you, Mr. Godas, although your family doesn’t have a Senator this term, you control 11 seats in the House of Congressmen. That surely doesn’t mean you can’t help me!”

The last person named, Godas, was also left standing in embarrassed silence like the others.

After a long while, Mr. Baisemai finally recovered and asked, “So what is it that you want us to do in Congress, Chief Inspector David?”

He wanted to know David’s intentions before making a decision.

“I need to push through a bill!”

“Push through a bill?”

The three were startled, their expressions shifting constantly.

After a moment, Mr. Baisemai asked, “Chief Inspector David, what bill would that be?”

“This bill will target policies on tax evasion in other jurisdictions…”

David outlined the bill to them.

And the three, upon hearing about this bill, all showed an expression of shock on their faces.

In other words, once this bill is passed, tax havens like the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands would cease to exist.

They would all have to adhere to local tax policies, which for major corporations, would be akin to cutting their own flesh — the pain was that intense!

Needless to say, it would be the same for The Big Three Families.

After all, quite a few of the companies they controlled were also registered in these tax havens. If this legislation were passed, it would mean their downfall too!

“Wait, Inspector David, this bill cannot proceed, if it were introduced it would shake the very foundations of our America, causing great turmoil!” Mr. Baisemai urged desperately, having regained his composure.

“Yes, Inspector David, as you know, we practice capitalism in America. This would undermine the very roots of capitalism. No one would agree to it!”

“Inspector David, you mentioned introducing a bill like the Black Tax Bill, and our family isn’t opposed to lending a hand. But this legislation… it’s not suitable for introduction in our America!” Godas and Charlie also came around, continually speaking out in warning.

They were no fools; if they helped push this legislation forward, not to mention their families’ interests would be severely damaged,

the Freemasonry, Ansa Group, Illuminati—those Big Three powers—would surely skin them alive!

“Heh,” David chuckled coldly, his tone mockingly. “Affect the foundations of America? It seems to me it’s more about affecting the foundations of your families, right?”

“You so-called families.”

“Over these years in America, you have reaped quite a bounty, enough for dozens of generations to live without worry!”

“Now, it’s merely about introducing a bill that will cause you to earn a little less, so why does it feel like I’m asking for your lives?”

Mr. Baisemai continued, steeling himself to reply, “Earning a little less is fine, it’s just… it’s just…”

What he wanted to say was that if he dared to help push this bill, the Freemasonry’s Big Three Groups would probably kill them. But when the words reached his lips, he just couldn’t say them.

Because if they refused, this David in front of them was not someone to be trifled with, and he would certainly find a way to deal with them.

“Don’t try to haggle with me here. I’m giving you two choices. First, help me push this bill forward, and after its success, I will introduce a tax policy for Texas to compensate for your losses. Second, well…”

David didn’t finish, but the three men had already heard the heavy threat in his words.

“Inspector David, what if we still don’t wish to comply?” After some thought, Mr. Baisemai still couldn’t agree and, furrowing his brow, he looked directly at David and asked.

David said nothing, walked over to the table, opened a drawer, took out a thick file, turned to toss it in front of the three men, and declared, “Upon arriving in Texas, I did some digging into your family’s companies. Not sure if I’m lucky or you’re unlucky.”

The three men’s hearts skipped a beat. Had their company’s tax issues been discovered?

With trepidation, they picked up the file on the table and as the contents came into view, their expressions darkened.

Indeed, tax issues had been found in their companies, and every figure in the document was unusually detailed, as if linked directly with their companies’ financial and tax records.

If the Internal Revenue Service used this information to announce an investigation into them, it would likely be difficult, even with the top legal teams, to clear their names.

“What do you want?” Godas, his face turning a shade of iron blue, stared directly at David.

“As I said earlier, you have two choices. First, help us pass this bill. Second, well, our Internal Revenue Service could immediately announce an investigation into the Godas Company, proceed with a seizure, and perhaps, there might even be criminal penalties for involved individuals…”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

Godas’ eyes turned blood red as he continued, “Do you know what the situation in Texas is like now? It’s a powder keg. If you do this, it will be like lighting the fuse, potentially igniting a new round of conflict. Could you be held responsible?”

“Don’t try to scare me, and the standoff between Texas and the military isn’t new. Those military fools may not be able to handle you, but I’d really like to see how the armed forces of our Internal Revenue Service fare!”

Since David dared to come to Texas, he naturally had a fairly good understanding of the situation here.

Texas did often have frictions with the military, and both the residents and the National Guard of Texas were indeed fierce. Furthermore, it’s generally known that America’s army has never been quite up to par, so they never gained much advantage from the conflicts.

But just because the military’s army didn’t have the upper hand didn’t mean that the armed forces of the Internal Revenue Service couldn’t have it!
