Chapter 653: Chapter 329: Come on, Let the Battle Begin!

After Ossatowal left, David looked at Nisen Bakesimmons and asked, “How did it go? Did you three manage the handover?”

Once the date to enter the headquarters was confirmed, he had applied to Donald and had these three also transferred there, which had already been approved.

“No problem.”

The three responded in unison, their expressions filled with anticipation.

Although entering the headquarters, the three still retained their positions as Tax Investigators, the title at the headquarters was significantly more valuable than that at the local level.

Moreover, holding the position of a Tax Investigator at the headquarters meant that once a promotion opportunity arose, it represented a chance to leap to greater heights.

...

“Then go and say goodbye to everyone!”

David rose to his feet, pushed open the door, and left the office.

Kepel, still on duty, saw him emerge and immediately came forward, saying, “Director, Director Joao from the state bureau is here, as well as Director Keanu from the Western Suburbs Branch, Deputy Director Lewis, and several other top officials from various district branches. They’re all waiting at the Inspector’s Office now.”

“Understood.”

David entered the elevator and quickly arrived at the floor of the Inspector’s Office.

Upon his arrival, the inspectors who had been chatting in the hall instantly fell silent, all eyes turning to him.

“Director David.”

At that moment, seated figures such as Joao, Keanu, and Lewis came forward.

“Director Joao, I didn’t know you were coming. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“It’s nothing. I heard you are assuming your new role at the headquarters on the 12th, so I specifically came to say goodbye…”

As Joao said this, his emotions were mixed.

Since David’s arrival in California, the tax revenue had skyrocketed, benefiting not only the state itself but Joao as the state bureau director. He was truly reluctant to see David leave.

On the other hand, David was now ascending to the decision-making level at the headquarters, becoming his superior from being his subordinate, which naturally left Joao feeling envious.

“Director Joao, thank you very much for coming to bid me farewell…”

In the following time, Keanu, Lewis, and several top officials from the district bureaus also came forward one by one, expressing their reluctance and well-wishes.

After responding to them, David proceeded to shake hands with the top officials of the Los Angeles IRS, the Chief Tax Officer, and the Inspectors, thanking them for their support and cooperation during this period.

“Alright everyone, the Los Angeles IRS is now in your hands, I’m off!”

“Director David, remember to come back and visit!”

“Director David, please keep an eye on our Los Angeles IRS!”

“Director David…”

Amid the reluctant farewells of the inspectors, David and Buckynison Simmons got into the elevator, descended to the lobby, walked out, and got into a sedan.

Upon returning to his apartment, he immediately called the landlord to discuss the lease termination.

Given his position, the landlord naturally did not dare commit any nefarious acts like falsely claiming damages.

Apart from the full return of his deposit, because the monthly rent period hadn’t ended yet, the landlord even proposed to refund the rent for the remaining days.

Of course, now that David’s monthly bonuses were substantial, he didn’t lack such a small amount of money and thus declined the landlord’s kind offer.

In the time that followed, David began to pack his belongings.

In reality, he didn’t have many possessions, just some clothes; as for other everyday items, he planned to buy them upon arrival in Washington D.C. and didn’t need to take everything with him.

In less than half an hour, he had packed his belongings into a suitcase, and the preparation for tomorrow’s journey was complete.

…

East Coast of New York, Senado Island.

In the mansion’s conference room, almost all members of Freemasonry had gathered, including Murdoch, who had recently faced a severe setback in his life.

Even though several days had passed since the News Group incident, his face still showed extreme exhaustion, indicating that the past few days had not been easy for him.

The others present also had somber expressions.

It was hard for many to recall the last time there had been such frequent meetings of Freemasonry.

However, relentless pressure from David and the Ansa Group left them no choice but to gather their forces every few days to discuss how to respond.

“Murdoch, you did not handle the News Group matter cleanly enough. You have to take responsibility for this!”

After a long silence, an accusing voice spoke up, turning heads to see that it was Joshua Morgan.

It wasn’t surprising that he was pointing fingers.

Their group had decided to make a painful decision to cut off part of itself, but the cut hadn’t been clean enough, allowing David and the Ansa Group to benefit somewhat, which was unacceptable.

As soon as Joshua Morgan finished speaking, many others also cast dissatisfied glances at Murdoch.

“I did my best to follow the group’s intentions, but the FBI reacted too quickly, and there wasn’t much more I could do…”

At that moment, Murdoch felt quite aggrieved.

In truth, he hadn’t wanted to attend today’s meeting, as he no longer had much standing there after the loss of the News Group and was there merely to face disdain and reproach.
