Bennett couldn't listen anymore; he was the one who sought the group's help, so how had the conversation suddenly shifted to stopping David from taking over the National Revenue Service?

"Don't be in such a hurry, Bennett. Pressuring David is like giving him a warning. If he's sensible, he'll ease up on you, and if he doesn't, then he'll have to pay the price,"

Hearing Joshua's argument, Bennett felt it made sense but also felt something was off.

Before he could think further, Henrietta, who had been listening to everyone's conversation, spoke up.

"If that's the case, let's put it to a vote!"

Freemasonry was ostensibly democratic; for instance, when they needed to take action on a matter, the decision would be made by a vote among the seven members of The Seven Great Families, all of whom were level 32 members.

If the vote exceeded four, then the decision would be executed in the name of Freemasonry.

Of course, there was another scenario where a vote exceeding four could be overturned.

That would be if Henrietta, acting as the judge, decided to veto it.

As the Grand Tutor of Freemasonry, at the prestigious 33rd level, he wielded absolute power.

This was akin to Uncle Deng from the movie "Black Society;" no matter who the elders backed, his word was final.

The proposal had originated from Joshua, so he was the first to raise his hand.

He was quickly followed by Prescott, the head of the Rockefeller Family, then the Warburg Family, Zart Family, Schiff Family... all seven of the Great Families raised their hands in agreement.

Clearly, they too understood that David was an unstable element and that, if allowed to head the National Revenue Service in the future, he could potentially impact their interests, leading them to choose intervention.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Henrietta, waiting to see whether the Grand Tutor would overturn the decision.

But Henrietta quickly eased many minds with his decision.

"Approved!"

After dropping this statement, he stood up, assisted by a young man and woman, and left the conference room.

The remaining members of The Seven Great Families looked at each other; finally, Prescott addressed Joshua: "Joshua, since you proposed this matter, why don't you discuss it with the National Revenue Service on our behalf? How does that sound?"

"I'd be most pleased."

After all, it wasn't as if he was acting on behalf of just the Morgan Family, but rather in the name of the entire Freemasonry Group. Joshua was certainly happy to play the part.

...

Two days later, at the Western Suburb Branch, in the office of the director, David was browsing the latest news about Disney.

Due to the impact of the shutdown, Disney's market value was continuously evaporating, quickly approaching 20 billion.

However, the day before, their senior executives had cleverly approached the stock exchange, resulting in an exceptional halt of trading for the company, and now the stock's decline was no longer visible.

"Haha..."

"Come in."

The next second, Nisen stepped in, his face somber as he said, "Director, there's news. Brown Soros from the Manhattan Branch has been transferred to the headquarters to serve as administrative assistant to Chief Advisor Wilton Heng, and Bellamy Hardy from the Long Beach Branch has joined the HQ as well, to assist Vice Director Rohan."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, David's expression also grew serious.

Considering their qualifications and political achievements, there was no way they were ready to be transferred to headquarters, right?

Moreover, they were taking on roles as administrative assistants to two top executives.

There must be something fishy going on!
