Chapter 727 -364: Masko Appears_2

“What, you are…”

“Shh!”

Before the other person could finish speaking, David quickly placed his finger on his lips.

Although Harrington stopped talking, the look of shock on his face did not fade away.

As a spy, he possessed exceptional insight and memory.

David had consistently made headlines around the world during this time, so how could Harrington possibly forget his voice?

...

And with his sharp insight, he saw that the face of the man before him was disguised.

So if it wasn’t the infamous Inspector David from the Internal Revenue Service, who else could it be?

What puzzled him, though, was why Inspector David would seek him out.

Could it be that his spy identity was discovered?

But that didn’t make sense either.

It was said that Inspector David was currently embroiled in a struggle with the Freemasonry Ansa Group and the Illuminati. How could he have time to bother with a spy like him?

Just as he was consumed with confusion.

David spoke again, “Mr. Harrington, did you hear what I just said? I don’t want to repeat myself a second time. Do you understand?”

“What are you looking to discuss?”

“You’ll know soon enough.”

“But the charity auction I’m hosting is still ongoing…”

“So, are you implying you want to refuse me?”

“Well… then fine, follow me!”

Frankly, Harrington did not want any interaction with David because he knew it would not bode well.

However, considering David had sent so many influential people to prison and had caused such turmoil within such a substantial group like Freemasonry, as well as given his current status, Harrington felt he had to bear it for the time being.

The two, one following the other, quickly arrived at a private room.

Once seated, Harrington asked directly, “Let’s be straightforward, Inspector David, what brings you to me?”

“I know you have many dealings with CIA Intelligence Agency Director Sawyer. I need all the material you have on your interactions with him. Hand it over to me, and I’ll be on my way. It’s as simple as that!”

Hearing this, Harrington’s face remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

Now, he finally understood why David had come looking for him!

However, when considering his numerous dealings with Sawyer, which were a closely guarded secret known only by a few in both nations, how did Inspector David find out? It was the utmost secret!

Wait…

Harrington seemed to realize something horrifying, his eyes briefly revealing a flicker.

Could it be that if David had discovered his dealings with Sawyer, he might also know about his identity as a spy?

Exposure of his identity would be problematic.

His current status was due to the great resources spent by his backers in Russia to promote him. If his identity were to be exposed, it would cause substantial damage!

Thinking of all this, Harrington could no longer remain calm internally, but on the surface, he still feigned innocence and replied, “Inspector David, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I am but a businessman, how could I possibly know a CIA director like Sawyer.”

“Is that so, Mr. Harrington? Then answer me this, on the 8th, 18th, and 25th of last month, you withdrew 8 million US Dollars from your company’s accounts. Where did that money go?”

David smiled, his gaze fixed intently on Harrington.

“Inspector David, a mere 8 million. With my fortune, do you think spending such an amount is problematic?”

Harrington was no fool. He feared David might only have a hint of evidence and was attempting to trap him with words, so without solid proof, he would deny everything at all costs.

“It’s not a problem, but unfortunately it wasn’t for flowers, but for bribing Director Sawyer and his direct superior, the Deputy Director in charge, as well as having him help you make connections with the head of intelligence at MI6.”

“Then you received three pieces of intelligence.”

“First, America would unite with European countries to provide Ukrania with Leopard 2 tanks and the Patriot Missile Defense System…”

“Second, America recently has unintentionally joined Middle Eastern countries to lower international oil prices, and the future oil market will remain stable for a while.”

“Third… am I right, Mr. Harrington?”

“We’re all smart people. Now that I’ve found you today, just give me what I want and stop wasting my time and words, you understand?”

After David finished speaking, Harrington could no longer pretend as if nothing happened.

At this point, his face became completely gloomy.

Not only had Chief Inspector David thoroughly investigated whom he had bribed, but even the intelligence he had bribed for was laid out clearly—it seemed that there was ample evidence. How could he keep making excuses?

If he really wanted to continue making excuses,

Then the other party could just turn and leave, and instead report to the CIA or someone else at the America National Security Agency.

If either of these two departments really started investigating him, no matter how well he covered his tracks, he would undoubtedly be found out in the end.

But if he really submitted to Chief Inspector David, wouldn’t the unlucky Sawyer drag him down with him?

For a moment, Harrington found himself in a dilemma.

“Don’t worry, as long as you give me what I want, whether you’re a spy or not is the business of the CIA, National Security Agency, FBI, and other departments, not our Internal Revenue Service. Plus, I assure you, Sawyer definitely can’t drag you down. You can still continue to be your wealthy self!”

David had seen his concerns and continued to speak.

Upon hearing this, Harrington was finally persuaded.

It wasn’t so much that he was persuaded, as it was that he had no choice.

Although David was a bit ruthless, there was still a guarantee with the Internal Revenue Service, and David had never broken his promises before. Since the other party had made this commitment, it should be effective.

Worst comes to worst, he would no longer continue in America after this, he could just flee back to his own country—anything was better than being exposed and subjected to coercive measures.

With this in mind, Harrington could only compromise, “Alright Chief Inspector David, I trust your promise. I’ll give you a document concerning Director Sawyer, but I need you to wait a moment.”

“That’s not a problem!”

Seeing that he had dealt with the guy, David was also feeling very pleased, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

But the next second, something occurred to him and he said, “Ah, Mr. Harrington, I also have a favor to ask of you!”

“What is it?”

“I just saw that you’re quite familiar with Musk, and I would like you to invite him over; I need to have a talk with him!”

“What, you…”

Harrington was stunned again.

Chief Inspector David had already dealt with him, and now surely he wasn’t planning to target Musk as well?

“Chief Inspector David, Mr. Musk was my guest today; this is quite… I’m afraid it wouldn’t be right!”

Thinking it over, Harrington still wanted to shield Musk a bit.

Musk wasn’t just anyone; he was highly influential in both the political and business worlds and was even reputed to be the modern ‘Iron Man.’

If he really brought Musk over and David did something to him, Musk would certainly hate him for it.

Moreover, his approach to Musk wasn’t just for making friends but also intended to get some secrets about his company, such as Starlink. If he offended Musk now, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

“Don’t worry, maybe after you bring him over, he will even thank you for it, go on!”

“You’re about to take action against him, and he’s supposed to thank me?”

Harrington muttered to himself, but with things having reached this point, how could he dare to refuse? He could only helplessly nod in agreement.
