Chapter 881 -441: Election Year_2

Katherine’s chief of staff, Windsor, stopped her supporters and turned to look at the silent Sean, asking, “Mr. Sean, what is your family’s view on this year’s election?”

Once she spoke, everyone turned to look at Sean.

It is known that within the group, Sean is not only the executive vice head, but also has the closest relationship with David.

Thus, his statement was naturally of paramount importance.

Sean pondered for a moment before responding, “In recent times, President Katherine’s accomplishments have indeed been visible to all, but previously, Chief Inspector David seemed to have reached an agreement with Mr. Trump, so I am not in a position to comment on this election.”

Katherine frowned.

Recently, to try to win Sean’s support, she had granted many favors to the Kennedy Family, even personally promoting several political newcomers from the Kennedy Family.

Yet at this critical moment, Sean was dodging the question, which certainly wasn’t very honorable!

“Beisemai, Goda, Mr. Charlie… What are your thoughts on this election?”

Windsor then asked the influential families from various states.

These families controlled many seats in the Congress, and securing their support could greatly enhance the chances of winning the election.

“President Katherine has shown remarkable achievements during her tenure, so our family supports President Katherine.”

“I also support President Katherine.”

“Support.”

“…”

After all, Katherine was still the incumbent president, holding significant power, thus the benefits she could offer to the group members could way surpass those of the ousted Trump.

Therefore, hearing Windsor hint at choosing sides, these influential families came forth to express their stand.

Seeing the support for Katherine growing stronger, Trump’s side became anxious, and Ivanka stood up and shouted, “I’d like everyone to remember one thing before supporting President Katherine, which is that Chief Inspector David has clearly stated that he will support my father in this year’s election. Are you really trying to contradict Chief Inspector David?”

Her statement caused immediate silence in the room.

After all, David was the head of their group, and contradicting him—what a condemnation that would be! Who would dare misbehave?

“That’s right, Chief Inspector David had shown his support for you, but that’s all old news now. Perhaps Chief Inspector David has changed his mind by now; otherwise, with the election so near, how come he has not made any statement?”

“Windsor is correct, considering President Katherine’s capabilities shown during her tenure, Chief Inspector David must have changed his mind!”

“Support.”

“…”

With Windsor’s words, the previous supporters instantly revitalized.

This time, it was Trump’s side that fell silent.

Indeed, it had been over half a year since David had last stated his position, saying he would fulfill his promises, and he hadn’t made any statement about it since then.

Moreover, Trump had tried multiple times to push David to publicly declare his stance, hoping to force Katherine and her people to back down.

But somehow, David had not made any further statement, which unavoidably made him restless.

Otherwise, why would there be a debate like this between the two parties?

While tensions were rising between both parties, over at the Internal Revenue Service, David was in an office hall, talking with Yulman and others.

“The drafting of the legislation is a third complete, and if everything goes as planned, it should be finished in the latter half of the year. Here is the preliminary draft, please have a look.”

David took it over and symbolically inspected it for a few minutes, then replied, “Alright then, I’ll leave you to it!”

While they were speaking, Nisen walked in and said to David, “There’s a situation.”

“Go out and talk.”

The two returned to the office of the Tax Bureau, and after sitting down, David asked, “What’s the situation?”

“Katherine and Trump held a debate at the Capitol Hill Hotel, inviting Mr. Sean, Moscow, families of local bigwigs from various states, and others… According to the reports from the scene, both sides were quarrelling nonstop, nearly coming to blows!”

David frowned upon hearing this.

He certainly knew what the quarrel was about: it was merely about this year’s election.

He had previously promised to support Trump’s rise to power, but then considered that if he made a direct statement about it, Katherine might sabotage everything out of despair, affecting the work on the Federal Reserve nationalization bill.

Therefore, he hadn’t made any further statements on this matter since then.

So, the root cause of their current argument essentially lay with him.

“As the election draws near, during this period, it’s not just quarrels between Trump’s and Katherine’s camps; they’ve even started slinging mud at each other using the media they control. I think you must take a stand now, or else this could lead to an internal split among us!”

David nodded in agreement with Nisen’s words.

Now that the foundation for the Federal Reserve nationalization bill was in place, if Katherine decided to completely sabotage everything, it wouldn’t have a significant impact.

Indeed, it was time to make a statement!

“Get ready, I’m heading to the Capitol Hill Hotel.”

…

At the Capitol Hill Grand Hotel, people from both Trump’s and Katherine’s camps were still arguing. However, at that moment, a secret service agent walked in and whispered something to Katherine, and her face instantly changed.

“Alright, everyone quiet down, Chief Inspector David is here!”

Upon hearing Windsor’s loud reminder, those who had been heatedly arguing recalled themselves and then quieted down.

A few minutes later, the doors of the conference hall opened, and David walked in. He scanned the scene and finally fixed his gaze on the representatives from Ansa Group and the Illuminati members present.

Although both groups had pulled back from the brink in the nick of time and managed to preserve their vitality, the cold look in David’s eyes still sent shivers down their spines.

“Ansa Group, friends from the Illuminati, this seems to be an internal matter and has nothing to do with you, right?”

Ansa Group and the Illuminati had made agreements with David, but now they were trying to reach into the election, even though both candidates belonged to his camp, which was intolerable.

Upon hearing these words, those invited from Ansa Group and the Illuminati felt chills.

They had gotten involved in this election obviously to reestablish their influence in the political field.

Their initial calculation was that since they supported Katherine and Trump, who were both from David’s camp, David wouldn’t pursue them too harshly.

But now, it seemed they had miscalculated.

“You may leave now; we have some matters to discuss!”

Hearing that David wasn’t going to pursue the matter further, the people from Ansa Group and the Illuminati quickly got up and left.

“I don’t care who invited the people from Ansa Group and the Illuminati, but I must warn you, they once were our enemies, so when dealing with such people, you should be extra cautious.”

“Chief Inspector David, I was inappropriate in my actions, I will reflect on this.”

“I am as well, I apologize…”

Both Trump and Katherine stepped forward to apologize.

Trump understood getting involved with Ansa Group might upset David.

But he had no choice because Katherine had first aligned with the Illuminati; thus, for the sake of balance, he also had to leverage Ansa Group’s influence.

But now, it seemed, both had made a bad move.
