Chapter 654: Chapter 329: Come on, Let the Battle Begin! _2

But he knew that today’s meeting was a counterattack against David, who had destroyed everything for him and left him vulnerable in his old age. Now, he was powerless to retaliate.

However, he was eager to know what kind of retaliation the group would take; this was the biggest motivation for him to come here today.

“Hehe, you still have no solution? You were the one who founded this group after all, you wouldn’t want to see it completely ruined, would you?”

“I heard that after the group decided to let you ‘self-destruct,’ you personally called David, were you thinking of selling us out at that time?”

“Maybe you’ve already sold us out, otherwise why is the news group’s ‘self-destruct’ only this little?”

…

...

A chorus of mocking and sarcastic comments erupted from several people present.

After all, Murdoch had no more leverage now, and they were not afraid to offend him.

“Enough!”

A sharp shout interrupted the mockery. When everyone saw it was Henrietta, they wisely shut their mouths.

“Even though the news group is gone, Murdoch is still a member of our group and has made great contributions over the years. I trust him, so let’s stop with these accusations and doubts!”

Henrietta outwardly said this, but he was actually very dissatisfied that Murdoch had not completely destroyed the news group.

But in order to avoid infighting within the group, he had no choice but to say this.

“Even though the news group has fallen into the hands of David and the Angsa people, luckily, the group is severely weakened now and won’t recover anytime soon. We don’t have to worry about them using this institution against us for the time being.”

Rockefeller Family’s Sect Leader Prescott said.

Henrietta nodded in agreement and then spoke, “Regarding David’s appointment to the Internal Revenue Service Headquarters in two days, what do you all think?”

The people present looked at each other but no one dared to respond.

David’s appointment to a high position in the Internal Revenue Service was already a done deal; they surely couldn’t change it now.

And with the position of National Chief Tax Inspector having so much real power, once he took office, they were definitely in for trouble!

So, this was a difficult question to answer.

After about a minute of silence, Governor of Bogwana seemed unable to sit still anymore, and he spoke up, “Mr. Henrietta, once David takes office as Chief Tax Inspector, he will have jurisdiction over any tax-related cases nationwide. If he extends his reach to places like Wall Street and Silicon Valley, we will be in big trouble!”

As he spoke, the complexions of many present changed.

Besides the Federal Reserve, the most important assets of the Freemasonry Group were located in Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Once David took office, if he conducted tax audits in those places like he did in Los Angeles, the cost would be something they absolutely couldn’t afford.

“Since you dare to speak up about this, you must have some strategies, right?”

Henrietta looked towards Bogwana.

“Yes, I’ve mentioned this strategy before, and some have already tried it. That is to target their abusive tax laws, abolish this law, and then even if David becomes the Chief Tax Inspector of the Internal Revenue Service, what difference would he make from a toothless tiger?”

“Abolishing the tax laws is like declaring war directly on the Internal Revenue Service!”

“No, no, we just lost the news group, and David is currently allied with the Ansa Group. If we now openly push to abolish this law, we stand no chance of winning!”

…

Bogwana had just suggested the strategy when he immediately faced opposition from many present.

“Hehe, going to war with the Internal Revenue Service directly? Aren’t we already at war? You say that we lost the News Group, and it’s precisely because we lost the News Group that we need to do this, otherwise, we might never have another chance!”

Bogwana was unsparing, scoffing coldly at the crowd in response.

A flicker of doubt crossed Joshua’s eyes as he promptly challenged, “Bogwana, what do you mean by that?”

“Don’t forget, next month are the midterm elections. All seats in the House of Congressman will see changes, and since we’ve lost the News Group, how many seats do you think we can hold in the House of Congressman now?”

After that remark, everyone’s expression changed again, including Henrietta.

Due to David’s harassment lately, they had indeed forgotten about the midterm elections.

Now that they thought about it, they seemed to have made a fatal mistake.

They had lost the News Group!

You see, for those congressional candidates who want to be successful in the upcoming midterm elections, media packaging and promotion are crucial.

Now without the News Group, what will they use to package or support their representatives?

“So, while the House of Congressman hasn’t changed yet, while we still have power there, we have to try our best to abolish the black tax bill. Once successful, the Internal Revenue Service would be almost destroyed, and those Angsa people, seeing the IRS has no value, will naturally distance themselves from them. With all obstacles removed, rebuilding a News Group will be an easy task for us!”

Hearing this, many present showed signs of being moved.

Because Bogwana was indeed right, the midterm elections were coming next month, and without a strong propaganda machine, they certainly cannot retain many seats in the House of Congressman.

And since the House of Congressman hasn’t changed yet, they indeed still hold significant power there, and taking the chance to abolish the black tax bill was not necessarily impossible.

Otherwise, once the midterm elections arrived, and their power in the House of Congressman was reduced, even if they desired to get rid of the black tax bill, they would be powerless.

“Bogwana is right, we must take a gamble now!”

“I agree too, the midterm elections won’t wait for us. While we still have the strength, we must take a gamble, otherwise, it will be too late!”

“If the black tax bill is abolished once and for all, indeed all our problems will be solved effortlessly. It’s worth a gamble!”

…

Joshua was also a decisive person, and after hearing his support, many others followed suit in agreement.

After the crowd began their response, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone turned their gaze toward Henrietta, waiting for his decision.

Finally, after a full three minutes, a fierce expression appeared on Henrietta’s face, and he said, “Fine, then let’s gamble with him!”

After speaking, he looked toward the second row of rear seats on the left where a man was sitting, and said, “Langman, you are a senior senator, you should lead this matter!”

The man called Langman’s complexion tightened, immediately responding, “Mr. Henrietta, this matter is of great importance, I… I might not be up to the task…”

Being a senator was not a role for fools, with David having bankrupted the News Group and forced the Swiss Bank to bow down, along with many other formidable accomplishments. His ruthless style meant even senators dared not oppose him directly.

“I’ve already said it before, you are a senior senator, and only you leading this matter will carry weight. You don’t need to fear him. You represent the Senate; David wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. Otherwise, those three men from Phipps wouldn’t have come back unharmed last time. So, you don’t need to refuse!”

Henrietta knew about the attack on the black tax bill by those three congressman from Phipps last time, but they were just Congressman, much less weighty than senators.

Since David did not dare to harm those three, he was naturally less likely to harm a senator, so Henrietta wasn’t overly worried about this point.
