American Tax Officer-Chapter 768 - 385: Kidnapping
Chapter 768 -385: Kidnapping
An hour later, David and his group emerged from the Carlton Hotel near Congressional Hill with somber expressions on their faces.
“Shet, this is so not normal!”
After getting into the car, Manson vented with frustration again.
Just like with Yuna before, this Senator Mandel seemed to have taken a wild turn. No matter how they appealed to his emotions or logic, or even brought out fabricated incriminating evidence, the man showed no signs of compromise.
First, it was Yuna, now this Mandel; there must have been some unexpected developments…
“I don’t know if you’ve observed them closely, whether it’s Yuna or Mandel, they obviously feared the documents we possess, but in the end, they rejected us with eyes full of despair. This is not the behavior of a normal person, or perhaps I should say, of a typical politician…”
...
Jerry also propped his chin and expressed his view.
“This indeed isn’t how a normal politician should behave, unless…they or their family members were seriously threatened by The Big Three Groups. That would explain their demeanor!”
During the previous confrontation with Yuna, David had already formulated this hypothesis.
Yuna, both in her words and her facial expressions, exuded a sense of despair, and now Mandel was exactly the same.
Analyzing their demeanor, the only explanation was that they were being forced into decisiveness by threats to their families and themselves.
Threatening the lives and fortunes of Senators might sound like a tall tale, but in the eyes of those capitalists, it probably seemed trivial.
After all, they had dared to eliminate a President before to protect their interests.
Now they were merely threatening these Senators, which really was a minor task in comparison.
“What, really? But those are Senators!”
Hearing that these people might be under severe threats, Larin, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t sit still anymore.
Though Senators might not seem like much in their eyes… rather, in David’s eyes, in America, they were among the most elite politicians.
Moreover, among these Senators, there was a high likelihood that future Presidents, Vice Presidents, Speakers, and Secretaries of State would emerge.
And if those capitalists were threatening like this, it certainly wasn’t just one or two but many. If something went wrong, could they really handle the public backlash?
“I think it might really be as Chief Inspector and Jerry said. Only this could explain why Yuna and Mandel were so stubborn. Also, don’t think being a Senator is anything special. Remember, these people even dared to kill President Kennedy, who was such a revered figure. Now, they are just threatening these Senators, what would they not dare to do?”
Manson seemed very supportive of David’s viewpoint.

Hearing this, Larin also came back to his senses.
Yes, they had indeed killed President Kennedy, who was an immensely popular president, without hesitation.
Now these were just Senators, what was there to fear in moving against them?
After all, if this bill were to pass, the losses it could inflict upon these capitalists might not be much less significant than the policies President Kennedy had introduced.
Thinking along these lines, Larin quickly turned to David and said, “Chief Inspector, if these bastards are resorting to such vile tactics, we really are in trouble!”
David nodded, pulled out his cell phone, and dialed Elvis’s number.
“Inspector David, looking for me?”
“Have you detected any minor actions from The Big Three Groups?”
“Minor actions… I haven’t detected anything so far.”
“Is that so? I just talked to Yuna and Mandel…”
David shared the possibility of the two individuals being under severe threat.
Meanwhile, in an apartment not far from the CIA Headquarters Building, having heard the whole story, Elvis had beads of sweat dropping down his forehead.
If two Senators and their families, plus his own personnel, were threatened, why had they not received even a hint of this through Intelligence?
But on reconsideration, that was not important now.
What mattered was, because he hadn’t grasped this information, which led to David running into walls twice, was truly critical!
Although he was now the head of Intelligence, commanding over all potential intelligence operations in America,
Messing with David’s mood, without exaggeration, could lead to his dismissal in mere minutes.
6Thinking this, Elvis completely panicked and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation: “Chief Inspector David, if it really is as you suspect, then I must have failed in my duties. But rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly and report back to you!”
“Make it quick, we shouldn’t drag this matter out too long!”
“Don’t worry, I’m on it right now!”
Relieved that David hadn’t vented his anger on him over the issue, Elvis breathed a sigh of relief.
After ending the call, he quickly dressed and rushed to the CIA headquarters at top speed, summoning his most trusted aides, and first scolded them severely.
He then gave them a firm order to use whatever means necessary to resolve this situation once and for all!
With that, the CIA’s Intelligence Agency commenced one of its most rigorous and urgent operations since Elvis had taken charge.
Late at night, at 2 AM.
David was standing on the balcony of his residence, contemplatively looking up at the sky.
