“All is said and done, worrying now is useless. Let’s wait for tomorrow’s results!”

Upon Obadiah’s statement, everyone at the scene dared not whisper anymore and all closed their mouths.

“Oh yes, since the voting starts tomorrow, I plan to host a dinner tonight at the George Kimpton Hotel, inviting the congressmen from our camp to attend. I would like you all to be present.”

This dinner was, of course, not a celebration.

The voting in the House of Congressman regarding the bill would start tomorrow, and no one knew which of their camp’s congressmen might turn out to be traitors.

Thus, the purpose of David hosting this dinner was to use the system’s scrutiny function to see if he could discover anything in advance and prepare accordingly.

...

Additionally, it was to issue a final warning to those with ulterior motives!

“Alright, no problem, we’ll be there!”

Obadiah had guessed David’s purpose for the dinner and agreed without hesitation.

“Then I’ll see you tonight, gentlemen. I need to return to my department to handle some work first!”

When he returned to his department, Kepel came over immediately and said, “Chief Inspector, you have a call from Mr. Sean.”

“Alright, I know!”

David entered his office, picked up the desk phone, and said, “Go ahead, Mr. Sean.”

“Chief Inspector David, knowing you’ve been busy lately, I hesitated to disturb you. But since the voting in the House of Congressman is about to start tomorrow, may I boldly ask about our situation? What are our chances?”

Although David couldn’t see Sean’s expression, from the slight tremble in his voice, he could guess that Sean was both nervous and apprehensive.

But that was normal, as the current situation was different from the past.

Kennedy openly standing with the Internal Revenue Service and publicly supporting him, David, not only intensified their feud with Freemasonry but even caused a complete fallout with the Ansa Group.

And if the bill failed to pass, it would be the beginning of the end for the Internal Revenue Service.

And if the IRS really fell…

Then the Kennedy Family might face more than just fleeing—it could mean their total annihilation.

“We’re doing quite well so far, officially we have 239 votes!”

Since the Kennedy Family was trustworthy, there was no need for him to deliberately conceal anything.

“That’s great, just great…”

Hearing this, Sean was overjoyed.

As one of America’s four major families, he of course knew how difficult it was to manage the congressmen; his family had spent vast resources over the years and still only managed to influence a few.

Not to mention that this bill needed at least 218 congressmen.

Unexpectedly, not only had David managed to secure the support, but he had even exceeded the requirement by a wide margin, which was a surprise within a surprise!

“But don’t celebrate too early. According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, The Big Three Groups have roughly the same number of declared votes, about 230.”

“What, this…”

Having just relaxed, Sean’s expression grew heavy again, and after a long while, he finally said, “Alright, I understand. I won’t bother you any longer…”

“Wait, Mr. Sean, I will be hosting a dinner tonight at George Kimpton Hotel, inviting all the congressmen from our camp. If you have time, you might want to come and meet everyone.”

“Alright, no problem, I’ll definitely be there!”

“Good, that’s it then.”

Kennedy Family residence,

Seeing the call had ended, Selina, who was beside Sean, immediately asked eagerly, “How did it go, father?”

“He said, we have secured 239 votes.”

“239 votes.”

Selina was initially stunned but then exclaimed joyfully, “That’s wonderful, father! 239 votes, we’re set this time!”

According to past instances in the House of Congressman, securing 225 votes before the voting usually gave a 70% chance of success.

Most congressmen weren’t fools; they were well aware of the political risks involved in switching sides at the last moment.

To put it mildly, it’s a matter of personal integrity; more seriously, if someone can switch sides once, who’s to say they won’t do it again?

So, such congressmen, having a tainted history, would somewhat impact their careers.

Though, this bill was quite unusual.

Due to the fierce clash between the Internal Revenue Service and The Big Three Groups, it was likely that there might be more defectors than usual.

But even so, with 239 congressmen now under their control, surely there wouldn’t be more than 21 defectors, right?

“It’s not necessarily a sure thing…”

Sean wasn’t as joyful as his daughter, instead, he said with a somber face.

“What’s the matter, father?”

“According to David’s intelligence, The Big Three Groups also control at least 230 votes.”

“What, how is that possible…”

Hearing this, Selina’s smile froze on her face.

As mentioned before, securing 225 votes before the voting was usually considered secure.

Now that The Big Three Groups also had 230 votes, which side could truly say they were secure?

“Let’s not fret over this; we still have an advantage!”

Composing herself, Selina could only comfort herself in this way.

“Hopefully, by the way, David mentioned he is hosting a dinner tonight, probably to give a final warning to those congressmen. He has invited me; do you want to go?”
