Chapter 864 -433: Huge Changes in America

But having said that, Sullivan didn’t really count for much to him. What he wanted was for the White House to behave and to stop playing tricks on him and undermining his actions.

At that thought, David shook his head at Payden.

Seeing Sullivan being thrown out to take the blame, David was not about to let the chance slip away, and Payden, unable to contain himself any longer, said outright, “I’ve already shown such good faith, you can’t possibly give me nothing in return, can you?”

“Ha, Mr. President, what more could you possibly want?”

David laughed coldly and said, “The aid to W bill, the tax evasion bill, you were the biggest beneficiaries. But you, swinging both ways, have been unstable in your stance towards us. Now you’re outright interfering with us. The fact that we haven’t taken you down directly might be the greatest mercy of all!”

Confronting the world’s most powerful man, everyone ought to be afraid, but now he held his opponent’s lifeline, and besides, in such a private setting, there was really no need to be overly cautious.

“What did you say!”

Payden was furious. After all, he was the President of America and this was in his office.

Most importantly, he had already stooped so low, and yet this bastard in front of him was still so disrespectful.

“Mr. President, you are the president now, you can enjoy judicial immunity, but do you really think your son can enjoy the same privilege? With all his good-for-nothing issues, I can have him arrested right now!”

“The reason I haven’t done so is out of respect for you. You’ve already lost one son, do you really want to lose another?”

David ignored Payden’s rage and continued to apply pressure.

“Fake, you wouldn’t dare do this!”

This time Payden was truly desperate, and he let out an expletive, disregarding the presidential image completely.

“Alright David, you can’t be so rude to the President. My apologies, Mr. President, David is a bit straightforward. I hope you don’t take offense!”

Where there’s a bad cop, there needs to be a good cop, so at this point, Obadiah quickly stood up, trying to defuse the atmosphere.

Hearing Obadiah’s words, Payden managed to calm down slightly, then turned to David and said through clenched teeth, “I know what you’re worried about, but now that you have so much incriminating evidence against my family, are you still afraid I’ll stab you in the back?”

The subtext was, “I’m willing to cooperate with you in the future and won’t interfere. Besides, you have something on me—why worry I’ll play tricks on you?”

“No, no, no, it’s not that we’re afraid of you backstabbing us, Mr. President, it’s that we can’t afford to waste time on such matters. After all, tax collection is the top priority at the Internal Revenue Service!”

After this statement, the atmosphere at the scene once again went silent.

David and Obadiah Ville Tonghen didn’t rush Payden, knowing that he was wrestling with a tough decision.

About five minutes of silence passed before Payden finally looked up at David and asked seriously, “Is there really no room for negotiation on this?”

After some thought, David still shook his head.

After reflecting, Payden was too unstable a factor, and he didn’t want to waste any more time on these matters. He thought that perhaps pushing Katherine into position would be the most hassle-free option.

Hearing this, Payden’s expression fell even further, then he turned to look at his chief of staff, Wylder.

Seeing how adamant David was, Wylder, although not daring to oppose, found himself at a loss and could only shake his head helplessly.

“If I resign, will every wrong previously committed be wiped out? Will you no longer trouble us with anything?”

At the end of his rope, Payden had no choice but to make a decision.

But before he made it, he needed to ensure his family’s safety.

After all, he was still the President and had various administrative powers at his disposal, but if he resigned, he would become utterly powerless, left to the mercy of others.

If David took revenge on them later, they would have no ability to fight back and could only be slaughtered at will.

“Politics often requires compromise. If you choose to compromise, Mr. President, then naturally we have no reason for retribution. Of course, you’ll need to keep a better eye on your family in the future, and it’s best not to violate the Tax Bureau’s laws, or else it would be very difficult for us!”

“Alright, just give me some time.”

The trio, David, knowing their place, promptly turned and left the office.

It wasn’t until they exited the White House door and got into their vehicle that Ville Tonghen and Obadiah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, they had threatened the most powerful man on the planet, and in the end, they had actually succeeded. Who would have dared to think such a thing before?

Remember, during the Watergate scandal, it was the explosion of the scandal that forced President Nixon to resign under pressure, not because he was threatened by anyone.

But today, if Payden truly resigned voluntarily, it could be said that they… oh no, it should be said that David had engineered it all. Such an event might be unparalleled in America’s over 200 years of history.

Obadiah couldn’t help glancing at David, feeling somewhat planned in his heart already—that in the next ten to fifteen years, he might slowly hand over the helm of the big ship called the Internal Revenue Service to David.
