American Tax Officer

And if he didn't take action, he would gradually lose his political achievements as capital.

Just like Donald told him today, Freemasonry had already decided not to allow him into the headquarters; thus, his only option was to accumulate political achievements in order to carve out a space for promotion.

The more David thought about it, the bigger headache he felt.

He was becoming more aware that politics was truly not something ordinary people could engage in.

Especially for someone like him, with no background or foundation, if he wanted to climb up, he would have to carve a bloody path through various powerful families and factions.

Behind him was a precipice—a misstep or a scheme by others would lead to his shattering demise without recovery!

"Director David, I'll just say it straight, this is how the internal environment of America is. The more you want to climb up, the more you have to compete with others' interests, and this is something no one can change. If you want to succeed, the right timing, geographical and human conditions are all indispensable. Of course, I think what you need most now is a political ally to protect and promote you, and our family is definitely the best choice for you!"

What Selina really wanted to say was that theirs was David's only choice.

The reason was simple; Jewish people always adhered to the principle that those who were not part of their community could not be trusted. Those who did not share their bloodline were not easily accepted.

In other words, even if David begged to be taken in, it was very likely that he would not be accepted.

Although the Ansa Group did not care so much about bloodline, they valued faith and social lifestyle. Since David had Asian heritage, his faith and social customs were obviously different, making it unlikely for him to be accepted by this group.

Not to mention the Illuminati and the major families.

So apart from the Kennedy Family, which had deep-seated hatred with the Freemasonry Group, did David have any other choices?

"If I may ask, how much influence does your family currently have in the Congress?"

The Congress, as the legislative body of America, served as an anchor of stability.

Theoretically, if one faction could control the Congress, they could almost do whatever they wanted in America.

Forget about being the head of the national tax agency or the chief advisor; if they had complete control over Congress, they could even depose the president.

Of course, with over 500 members in both houses of Congress, it essentially meant that no single faction could fully control it.

And now, David just wanted to subtly probe and see if the Kennedy Family still had any influence in Congress.

If they no longer had influence, then forming an alliance with them would be meaningless, and might even bring about the issue of Freemasonry trying to destroy them decisively.

"Our family still holds some influence in Congress. For example, like the incident where Phipps criticized the black tax bill, if you let our family intervene and keep the other two members out, we're confident we could make it happen."

Although Selina did not spell it out directly, David could infer from her words that the Kennedy Family did have certain influence in Congress.

However, David soon seemed to think of something else and narrowed his eyes as he asked, "The midterm elections are in November, and Congress will surely undergo a major reshuffle. Will your family... still be able to maintain its influence there?"

Selina's gaze dimmed slightly; over the years, Freemasonry had been steadily eroding their family's power.

And their family's influence in Congress was also in decline.

Unless something unexpected happened, during the upcoming midterm elections, under the onslaught of Freemasonry, their family's influence in Congress was certain to diminish further.

Collecting her thoughts, she replied, "Don't worry, our family has stood strong in America for so many years, with connections in both political and business circles. Forming an alliance with us would definitely be more beneficial than detrimental to you right now."

David supported his cheek with his hand and, after pondering for a moment, responded, "Let me think about it."

"Of course, but you must make a decision soon, Director David. After all, Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy have entered the headquarters. Plus, under the influence of Freemasonry, it's uncertain whether they will become significant forces. If that happens, your position, far from the power center, will be at risk." Your journey continues on empire

Having said her piece, Selina tactfully stood and left, leaving David lost in thought.

At that moment, David was indeed troubled.

On one hand, Donald's words today made him realize that Freemasonry had taken notice of him and were even targeting him.

On the other hand, Selina's words implied that if he couldn't continue maintaining high tax revenues, his career might stop right here in Los Angeles.

The situation was such that he could neither advance nor retreat!

After a long thought without clarity, he took out his phone and dialed Nisen's number.

"What's up, BOSS?"

As soon as the call connected, Nisen's voice came through.

"Do you have time now to come over and chat at my place?"

Some things are clearer to those on the outside rather than those involved, so he wanted to share his situation with Nisen and hear if he might receive some useful advice.

"I'll be right there."

Given the time, Nisen knew his boss must be encountering some trouble to ask for a chat, so he quickly got dressed and left the house.

Nisen had also moved from Nevada State for the convenience of David's dispatch, so upon arrival, he had taken residence in the same building.
