American Tax Officer

Chapter 387: Vote Again



"Uh, I know. Take a look at this, Senator Yuna." David nodded and then pulled out his phone, opening a video in front of her. When she saw the video, Yuna suddenly changed her expression and screamed, "Chief Inspector David, what's going on?" "Senator Yuna, I know your daughter was controlled by some 'extremists,' and they forced you to stand against me, but don't worry now. Last night, I had the CIA and FBI take action, and they rescued your daughter. She is safe now!" "Oh my God, thank heavens!" Seeing her daughter was safe, Yuna's eyes were soaked with tears as she continuously muttered expressions of gratitude. But at that moment, Manson interrupted discontentedly, "The person you should be thanking is our Chief Inspector, not some God!" Upon hearing this, Yuna regained some composure and then turned her gaze towards David. After hearing her daughter was safe, she had been overwhelmed; now that she thought about it, the abilities of Chief Inspector David in front of her were indeed significant. She had long heard about his substantial influence on the CIA and FBI, but she had not expected that these two major agencies would dare to get involved in such a dangerous affair. Moreover, it was critical that her daughter was rescued just overnight; such operational capabilities were truly astonishing. "Chief Inspector David, regardless, I must thank you for this, I owe you a huge favor..." "There's no need for any favor, just help me get that bill passed today, and we'll be even!" David said bluntly. "This...I'm sorry, except for that, Chief Inspector David, anything else you need me to do is fine!" Yuna hesitated for a moment but eventually definitively refused. The reason was simple; although her daughter was safe for now, it was only for now. If she dared to vote for David's side, she could not guarantee that The Big Three Groups, driven by humiliation, would not commit heinous acts against her and her family. After all, these capitalists were ruthless, so to be safe, she still firmly refused. As for looking ungrateful, might it offend David? It would have to offend him, because David and those capitalists were quite different. That was because, although David was ruthless, he would never stoop to kidnapping and threatening family members. But The Big Three Groups were different. Take Freemasonry, for instance; these people, for the sake of profit, could dare to kill even the President—what couldn't they do? "Damn, Senator Yuna, don't be so ungrateful!" Before David could speak, Manson couldn't hold back any longer. What had they gone to all this trouble for? If not to secure Senator Yuna's vote for their bill. And now she was saying she was willing to do anything except that—it was like a joke to them! "All right!" David gestured with his hand for Manson to calm down, then looked at Yuna and said, "Senator Yuna, you should be very aware that my favor isn't easy to owe!" "This… Chief Inspector David, this is definitely not possible, I hope you can understand my difficulties!" Yuna still showed no sign of relenting. David frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this, Senator Yuna, I won't ask you to vote for our bill. You just need to vote to bypass their filibustering speeches, that should be enough. That way, The Big Three Groups won't be too enraged at you, what do you think?" Considering the current situation, they still had the advantage in terms of votes. The only difficulty was this filibustering process. But if she could just bypass that filibustering process, then with the current number of votes, they should be able to get the bill passed. After all, they only needed 51 votes to pass, and the previous round of voting had already shown they had obtained 58 votes, passing shouldn't be much of an issue. Yuna pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "If it's just to vote to bypass the speeches, then I can accept that." David was indeed right. Looking at the harsh battle conditions, if she dared to vote in favor of passing the bill, she would likely face furious retaliation from The Big Three Groups. But if it was just to vote to bypass the speeches, although The Big Three Groups would also be displeased, they probably wouldn't go as far as to harm her. So, after careful consideration, Yuna compromised. After all, she knew David was not to be messed with, and he had rescued her daughter, it was really not good to refuse everything. "Alright, Senator Yuna, let's settle on that!" After leaving Yuna's suite, David immediately went to another Senator, Mandel's, residence. Just like with Yuna, as soon as he arrived in front of Senator Mandel, David immediately showed the video of his son being rescued. And Mandel, seeing his family member rescued, naturally was extremely excited. But when David got straight to the point next, Mandel, just like Yuna before, seemed to be frightened by The Big Three Groups and adamantly refused to vote in favor of their bill. With no other choice, David had to repeat the old tactic and only asked that Mandel, like Yuna, agree to vote just to bypass the speeches.
