American Tax Officer-Chapter 893 - 447: Compromise and Conditions_2

Maca and Ryan are okay; although they are also top figures in society, their company isn't as big as Facebook, and they are not good at personal marketing, so they haven't been targeted as much.

However, the one who's been targeted the most and the subject of the greatest spectacle is naturally Zuckerberg.

You know, Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in the world, having amassed a fortune of 1.5 billion US Dollars at the age of 23.

And now, he's not only ranked as the second richest person by Forbes but is still the youngest on the list.

In addition, he is also enthusiastic about participating in politics, such as state legislative elections and presidential elections, where his involvement can be seen.

Under such high visibility, the sudden exposure of this scandalous news naturally shocked the entire American public.

...

Three days later, a Maybach arrived at the gates of the Washington D.C. National Tax Bureau. The car door opened, and out stepped Maca, Ryan, and Zuckerberg, none other than the three of them.

At this moment, the three of them looked pale, with dark circles under their eyes, clearly indicating that they had not slept well in these three days.

But they can't really be blamed, given the scandalous materials released by David, causing them to be constantly harassed by the media, plus the ensuing clamor from their families, it's no surprise that they couldn't rest easy.

"We are here to see Inspector David; please inform him."

After arriving at the tax inspection department, the trio spoke to the receptionist.

Soon, the receptionist who was informed returned, and then led the three men into David's office.

"How are you doing, gentlemen? Have the past three days given you some clarity?"

Looking at the three haggard figures before him, a smile crept onto David's lips.

"Chief Inspector David, I've spoken with my bosses, but they have a few questions they want answered before selling the company."

"Go ahead."

"First, if we agree to sell the company, will the acquisition be based on the market price?"

"Naturally, those acquiring your company are legitimate entities; they are not robbers."

"Good. Second, if we sell, does that mean we are no longer linked to any of this, and we absolutely won't be implicated in the future?"

"Of course."

"Alright, then we have no issues on our end."

With these two answers, a weight was lifted off Ryan's chest.

Being acquired at market value for their YouTube, and future unrelatedness to the Freemasonry matters—in the current situation where they had little choice, this was the best possible outcome.

"My questions are the same as Ryan's."

This time it was Maca who spoke.

Although being forced to sell the company left him with feelings of resentment, he had reached a point where, for his own sake and his family's, he could only grit his teeth and make this decision.

"Twitter will be the same; the acquiring party will purchase at the normal market price, and after the success of the sale, all matters will no longer concern you."

"Then I have no issue as well."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Zuckerberg began to feel increasingly uneasy.

You see, these two are different from him; apart from being the big boss of the social platform Facebook, he also has another identity—that of an important member of the Freemasonry Group.

The Freemasonry Group and David are in a life-or-death struggle; even if he is willing to sell his company, can David truly let him off the hook completely?

"Mr. Zuckerberg, what about you?"

While Zuckerberg was still feeling restless, the sound of David's question broke his train of thought. Lifting his head, he replied, "The question I want to ask is the same as Ryan Maca's."

"Your Facebook can also be acquired at market price. As for what follows..."

Hearing David's words trailing off, Zuckerberg's anxiety surged. Could it be that surrendering control of Facebook wasn't enough to be let off the hook?

"Here's the deal: as long as you're willing to leave Freemasonry and ensure you never associate with them again, I guarantee that whatever happens next will absolutely not involve you. How does that sound?"

"That's impossible!"

Zuckerberg blurted out the words without a second thought upon hearing the suggestion to leave Freemasonry.

Despite being the youngest billionaire, in reality, he could not have achieved this feat without the support and assistance of Freemasonry.

And now, deciding to sell Facebook, he had almost fallen out with the core leadership group of Freemasonry.

Leaving Freemasonry at this time would be a direct challenge to the authority of Henrietta and The Seven Great Families.

He was all too aware of the methods Henrietta and The Seven Great Families employed; to prevent others from following suit, they would definitely make an example out of him!

"Impossible? Then there's nothing to discuss?"

David's tone also became colder.

Of course, David knew Zuckerberg was an important member of Freemasonry; perhaps he even had a hand in planning David's assassination.

David was now ready to forgive and forget, and yet Zuckerberg dared not accept the offer?

"That's not how things should be negotiated. You are aware of the situation our group is in, and considering my status, if I openly break with the group now, you can imagine what my fate would be. You should consider my perspective."

Zuckerberg pleaded anxiously.

If he couldn't reach an agreement with David, the worst outcome would be a tarnished reputation and jail time.

But antagonizing the Freemasonry Group, which was on the verge of lashing out, was not an option—they were capable of unthinkable atrocities!

"Since you know the predicament your group is in, they're barely able to protect themselves, let alone have the spare energy to do anything to you, right?"

"Chief Inspector David, you still don't understand some of the people in this group. I was born into it, I know what kind of people they are. So, I'm putting it out here today, if we can't come to an agreement, then I will not yield to you for the sake of my family!"

Zuckerberg had now steeled himself. If he couldn't reach an agreement with David, it would be better for him alone to face prison than to put his family in danger.

David stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, "Fine, then I can offer a compromise."

"What kind of compromise?"

"You still have to leave Freemasonry and sever all ties with them, but in return, I will arrange for someone to protect you and your family 24 hours a day, until I destroy your entire group!"

"This..."

Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "You really don't have to go through all this trouble. As you said, our group can no longer shake you now, what difference would one more person like me make?"

"No, even though I now hold an absolute advantage, your group still retains some strength, and as an important member of Freemasonry, if you declare your departure at this critical juncture, it would be a significant blow to the entire group. It would be the beginning of their dissolution!"

"But..."

"No buts, I've given my conditions, you either accept or we have nothing more to discuss!"

Zuckerberg's expression contorted for a brief moment, and after about three minutes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I can leave, but I insist on protection from the CIA, FBI, NSA's top agents for me and my family."

Freemasonry still held considerable power, but for David, who now controlled various departments and the White House, there really was no capacity for resistance left.

With the elite agents from these three agencies protecting him and his family, Zuckerberg felt he would be safe.

"Okay, I can agree to that!"
