American Tax Officer

Because he was very clear, although Mascot's entry into the market indeed injected a strong stimulus, relying solely on his capital was still not enough to compete with The Big Three Groups. It was necessary to involve the capitals from around the world that were still observing.

This could play a decisive role!

With this thought, David immediately picked up the phone and dialed Elvis's number.

"Director Elvis, I'm giving you a task now…"

"Understood, leave it to me!"

At the CIA headquarters.

After hanging up the phone, Elvis immediately gathered his confidants and made a series of deployments.

Before long, CIA stations in Huaxia, British Empire, France, and other countries received a unified command from headquarters.

That was to promote and manipulate the current situation in America's stock market.

The content of the promotion and manipulation was simple—it was to pass a message to the major capitals that the US stock market was currently unstable, presenting a great bargain-hunting opportunity.

And such an opportunity, if missed, might not recur for another 10 to 20 years; shouldn't they hurry and take advantage?

Of course, this was just a way of inducing them through the prospect of profits.

However, the CIA's main attack wasn't just that—another point was that the Federal Reserve frequently hiked interest rates to shear the wool of global capital.

This stock market crash in America was orchestrated by those behind the scenes. If you joined now and subsequently defeated the Freemasons in one fell swoop, they would have to think twice before hiking rates again in the future!

Compared to the first point, the global capitals were more thrilled by the second point.

To be honest, these capitals were itching with anger due to the continuous rate hikes by the Federal Reserve over the past few years, reaping their profits.

But they were powerless—after all, the US Dollar is the global currency.

And since the Federal Reserve was the "father" of the US Dollar, they could only be subjected to its exploitation!

But now, this was a perfect opportunity for revenge, and missing it might mean never having such a good opportunity again.

In order not to have their wool sheared off in the future, how could they not get involved?

Promptly, capitals from various countries made their decisions.

Capitals from Huaxia, British Empire, France, and others hurriedly joined the American stock market alongside families like Sean and Trump in various states, continually buying the stocks dumped by The Big Three Groups.

For a while, the situation greatly benefited David's side!

"Ha ha ha, David, you're incredibly ruthless with this move!"

"Yes, using the Federal Reserve's practice of shearing wool from the international capitals as leverage to induce these capitals to join—now, the Freemasonry is in a pickle!"

"Not bad at all; the operational ability of the CIA is strong indeed. If I were one of those international capitalists, I would also join in the gamble!"

Seeing the scales of victory gradually tipping in their favor, the upper echelons of the Internal Revenue Service all wore broad smiles.

Including Obadiah and Welton Heng, who also highly praised David for his audacious strategy.

And David himself, no longer as withdrawn as before, also showed a faint pleasure on his face.

For now, it could be seen that, under the influx of major capitals, the scales of victory were gradually tilting towards their side.

And once this stock market crisis settled down, those foundations would be taken down without any hindrance!

As they say, one man's joy is another's sorrow.

On Senado Island.

"Fake, how could this happen, how could this happen!"

"These damned guys, how dare they oppose us, how dare they!"

"Shet… this must be David's damn plan, they actually guided international capitals to join, this is colluding with the enemy, betraying national assets!"

Members of the Freemasonry were certainly aware that the influx of international capital was now suppressing them, so they were cursing furiously at the moment.

Some even more extreme members were vehemently cursing David for bringing disaster on themselves by inviting the enemy in.

However, what they hadn't considered was, when it came to bringing disaster on oneself and selling out national assets, no one had played the game more ruthlessly than they had.

It was just that this time, they weren't the beneficiaries anymore.

"Soros, Buffett, what do you think?"

Although Henrietta was also angry, he didn't lose his reason and swear like the other members, but instead, he looked to these two.

"Relying solely on the capital from families like Kennedy and Trump, we are not afraid of them. But now with international capital rushing in fearing they'll miss out, it's getting hard for us to cope..."

"That's right, I was worried before that once Musk entered the market, it would trigger a herd effect in international capital. Now it's really happening, and it's not going to end well..."

Both Buffett and Soros clearly implied a sense of foreboding in their words.

"Don't give me these explanations, just tell us what to do!"

Henrietta was clearly dissatisfied with their response, and his tone was somewhat harsh.

Soros and Buffett exchanged glances, then nodded slightly, and finally, the former said, "Mr. Henrietta, the best option for now, I believe, is to stop selling our stocks..."

"Yes, if we continue selling them like this, it's very likely that we'll lose both our wife and soldiers. If we stop, at least we can minimize our losses!"

As globally renowned stock market maestros, the many years of experience had informed them that in the face of fervent competition from international capital, it was quite challenging to win this war.

"What do you mean, if we stop selling now, wouldn't they stabilize the stock market soon? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"Yes, we lost badly with the bill, and now the stock market is in this state. Are we destined to be losers?"

"If we were to minimize our losses, we should have done so right after the bill became effective, not now after so much loss. Buffett, Soros, you must give me an explanation!"

The members of Freemasonry present were furious.

The strategy of frantically selling stocks to drive away David Investigation Foundation was your idea.

Now, not only did the enemy not falter, but our side also suffered huge losses, and furthermore, we're forced to end things in disgrace—how could we accept this?

"This... I didn't expect Musk to enter the fray, nor did I anticipate that it would drag in international capital as well..."

At this point, Soros himself was also at a loss for words. Although everyone revered him as the stock market guru, even a guru has his defeats.

Like when he created a financial storm in Asia and sheared a lot of wool from Asian countries, but ultimately he lost when he faced Hong Kong.

This defeat was just another blemish in his career.

"The situation in the stock market changes in the blink of an eye, no one can guarantee they'll always be the winner. I admit that it's going to be difficult for us to win this time, but we must accept that cutting our losses is necessary!"

Buffett also spoke with a heavy heart.

However, those present didn't take their words to heart, and continued to curse them.

But fortunately, Henrietta stood up, which made everyone stop their tirades. He said, "Fine, if Buffett and Soros say the situation is beyond salvaging, then let's cut our losses timely..."

As soon as Henrietta finished speaking, Joshua couldn't sit still. He immediately retorted, "Mr. Henrietta, if we retreat so easily, we will no longer have any credibility in the eyes of international capital. Next time we think of shearing them through a rate hike, it probably won't be so easy!"

"That's right, the current situation in the stock market is actually nothing serious; the key issue is that this retreat sets a precedent, which is very disadvantageous for us."

"Besides, I think you all need to consider our foundation. If we can't make a stand in the stock market, we won't be pushing back David. Then our foundation will likely fall prey to his clutches!"

"..."

Following Joshua, the representatives of the other six great families also expressed their concerns.

To tell the truth, the current state of the stock market maybe making the rest of the Freemasonry members suffer heavy losses, but for the seven families controlling the Federal Reserve, it was just a drop in the ocean.

What they were truly worried about was showing weakness this time; in the future, it would destabilize the foundation of the Federal Reserve, and it would also put their foundation in jeopardy. This was the most serious issue!
