Chapter 853 -427: The Return of the Ruthless Person_2

Freemasonry Group members probably predicted that since David dared to send these people to court, he must have secured convincing evidence.

Thus, knowing that recanting in the courtroom would be of little use, they opted for recanting outside the court, which would be more advantageous!

But it must be said, this move really has something to it!

It was as if they were mocking the lack of human rights in their Internal Revenue Service court!

At the same time, on the Cadillac Beast cruising down Fifth Avenue in New York, David also received the news at the first moment.

“Silent protest… quite interesting.”

David’s lips curved slightly, showing a somewhat intriguing expression.

On the East Coast of New York, on Senado Island,

Henrietta and Joshua, along with other high-ranking members of the Freemasonry Group, were also paying attention to the trial.

“I knew that Derick and his people would never escape from his grasp!”

Before the verdict came out, Prescott had already anticipated this result, so at this moment, they were not very surprised.

“It doesn’t matter. How is Sullivan doing? He should be near the White House by now?”

Joshua asked.

“I just got the message; he’s arrived.”

“Good, let’s see how things go on his end next!”

…

In Washington D.C., at the White House.

A procession arrived at the gate; a car door opened, and a slim, refined man stepped out from the middle vehicle.

He is Jake Sullivan, the current President’s National Security Advisor,

The National Security Advisor’s main responsibility is to handle America’s foreign operations, somewhat similar to the responsibilities of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

However, unlike the Secretary of State and Defense Secretary, this position is not the head of a government department.

The National Security Advisor does not require Congressional approval to take office, nor does the position require oversight since it only answers to the President.

Additionally, during the 2020 election period, as a campaign advisor for the Payden team, he significantly assisted Payden in clinching America’s highest seat.

Afterwards, he became Payden’s most trusted person and was regarded as the most potent brain behind Payden.

“Sir, the President is aware you’ve returned and has been waiting for you.”

“Understood.”

Sullivan replied expressionlessly and then quickly proceeded towards the President’s office door, knocking and walking in.

“Sullivan is back.”

Upon seeing Sullivan enter, Payden immediately displayed a warm smile.

America can be called the world’s policeman because strategic changes, armed conflicts, and diplomatic disputes occurring anywhere globally almost always involve them.

As Payden aged, he did not have the energy to handle these matters personally, so the task perpetually fell to Sullivan.

And Sullivan indeed lived up to expectations; under his management, nearly all of America’s major strategic policies were successfully implemented and pushed forward.

This led Payden not only to trust him more but even to depend on him significantly.

“Yes, sir. The trip to Ukrania went relatively smoothly. Under my persuasion, France, Germany… these countries have expressed willingness to increase their aid…”

America’s primary international concern was the EW conflict, so upon meeting Payden, Sullivan elaborated on the situation there.

“Very good, with these countries increasing their aid, the pressure on us has lightened considerably, Sullivan. You’ve worked hard on this matter, now that you’re back, enjoy a holiday first.”

“No sir, I didn’t return to enjoy a holiday. I heard you were facing some trouble, so I took this opportunity to come back and solve this problem for you.”

“Ah?”

Payden looked at Sullivan in surprise and then asked, “Are you referring to the Internal Revenue Service issue?”

“Yes, sir, Inspector David from the Internal Revenue Service has become increasingly arrogant. I heard about the recent incident in New York as a direct challenge to your authority. We can no longer tolerate this and must curb his arrogance!”

Sullivan spoke with a hint of severity.

Since graduating from Yale University, he was immediately appointed as America’s youngest Director of Policy Planning at GW Institute. During Obama’s tenure, he single-handedly crafted the Re-engagement with Asia policy, thereby earning a prominent reputation.

Now, in Payden’s era, being appointed as the President’s National Security Advisor, he had become seen as a ‘tough character’ internationally, unequaled in prominence.

However, David’s emergence had stolen the limelight that belonged to him. It was impossible for him not to feel a bit of resentment.

The reason he gave up handling international diplomatic affairs to return was not only because the Freemasonry Group had communicated with him, but also because he wanted to personally confront this Chief Inspector David, who had stolen his limelight!

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Payden fell silent.

Sullivan, young and strong, was skilled in building strategic countermeasures and cunning in mind. It wasn’t that Payden hadn’t considered recalling him to suppress David and tame his defiance.

But with the EW conflict still ongoing, he needed Sullivan, a fierce general, stationed in Europe to keep the situation under control.

After all, no matter how much David stirred up trouble, it ultimately remained an internal matter for America.

If the EW battlefield was mishandled, it could potentially destabilize America’s hegemony.

Thus, whether it was the previous incident involving Katherine or now David challenging his authority directly with the New York purge, Payden had never considered letting Sullivan be distracted.

“Mr. President, I’ve already handled the affairs in Europe, and there shouldn’t be any issues in the short term. Even if something does arise, I can always make time to address it, but we must deal with David sternly, otherwise, if this continues, we might be led by the nose by him in the future!”

Sullivan and Payden were inextricably linked in success and failure.

This New York purge event was a direct challenge to Payden’s authority by David. If similar events occurred frequently in the future,

what would others think?

People would think, the greatest BOSS of America, even has to bow before David, then who would listen to you in the future.

So, Sullivan’s return to deal with David could also be seen as simply protecting his own authority.

“Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll listen to you. But now that David has gained significant influence, he won’t be easy to deal with, where should we start?”

Seeing Sullivan so determined, Payden decided to no longer obstruct him.

After all, the matter of the foreign tax avoidance bill had been settled, and he didn’t have as many reservations about David as before.

“This New York purge event actually provides a perfect opportunity, we could start from there, for example, offering a special pardon to Derick and others. If successful, it will make the entire America realize, even if the Internal Revenue Service puts these people away, as long as we at the White House decide, we can change everything at any time!”

The idea of a special pardon was proposed by the Freemasonry Group, and after contemplating it, Sullivan indeed found it feasible.

“A special pardon for these individuals? Now that they’ve been convicted, it would be difficult to justify a pardon to the public.”

Payden certainly knew, if he could pardon Derick and others, he could not only suppress the momentum of David and the Internal Revenue Service but also let everyone realize that they at the White House were the ultimate authority.

But as he had said, Derick and others had already been presented with evidence of their crimes and had been convicted in court by David.

If they couldn’t overturn the case and forcibly granted a pardon, then they at the White House would indeed be acting unlawfully.
