American Tax Officer

"Alright, if you can convince him to do these things for me, I'll join!"

Ivanka nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Do you have any other plans coming up?"

"It depends on the situation; what do you mean...?"

"Well, David has called us to meet in New York before 9 o'clock. If you're free and have no other plans, perhaps you could come with us!"

"Is that so? No problem, I'll go with you!"

Concerning the 'BFR' plan, and with only a few hours left until 9 o'clock, Musk naturally didn't mind spending a few more hours to finalize the matter.

"Alright, I'll go arrange the plane; you rest here for a bit."

Ivanka and her father then left.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the booth, Trump furrowed his brows and in a low voice questioned Ivanka, "Are you insane? The 'BFR' plan involves considerable stakes, and you've agreed to it without even notifying David in advance?"

He had wanted to raise this issue earlier, but Musk was present, and it wasn't appropriate to discuss it openly.

In his view, for someone like David, taking such initiatives on his behalf without consulting him first could naturally result in anger or displeasure.

And then it would be they who couldn't save face.

"Father, don't worry; David won't blame us for taking the initiative. On the contrary, he will be very grateful to us."

"What do you mean?"

Trump seemed puzzled.

"It's simple; the current stock market situation is unfavorable, both for us and for David. If Musk joins, I believe he'll not only be a great help but might even play a decisive role!"

Ivanka cracked a slight smile, seemingly pleased with herself.

"Although Musk is the richest man in the world, I think relying solely on his resources may not suffice..."

Trump wanted to argue, but then he seemed to remember something, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Indeed, Musk had been suppressed by the Freemasonry Group over the years; still, he managed to defy the odds and become the new world's richest man, earning the title of the modern Iron Man.

This was partly due to his abilities, but another reason, his charismatic personality, was also significant.

He not only had numerous followers in America but also a large base of loyal fans worldwide.

If it were a regular collaboration, Musk might not be so committed, but now, for the sake of revenge and his dreams, he would surely give his all.

If he announced his involvement in saving the market, he would surely do everything to rally capital supporters from around the world.

What Trump initially wanted to say was that, although Musk was the world's richest man, his current resources might not be decisive in this stock market battle.

But with his influence, bringing in global capital investment indeed could make a critical difference!

Now, Trump finally understood his daughter's intentions!

...

That night, near nine o'clock, in a room on the top floor of New York Times Square, Sean, Trump, Ivanka, Mr. Baisemai, Goda, Charlie, and other local snakehead families had all arrived.

Just then, the door to the booth was pushed open, and David strode in.

"No need to stand up!"

David stopped those who were about to rise, then sat down on one side and said, "Let's hear everyone's situation!"

"Freemasonry has Buffett and Soros, these two old foxes in the stock arena, so this market rescue will be more troublesome than we thought. If we can't implement some effective measures soon, we might be 'devoured' by them..."

Mr. Beisemai was the first to speak.

Clearly, the massive selling of major company stocks by The Big Three Groups had exposed him and his family to the capabilities of these two stock market titans.

"Our side is the same, our family's plan was to proceed slowly and steadily. But they played their hand too forcefully, leading to frenzied selling by all the retail investors. If it continues like this for the whole day tomorrow..."

Here, although Charlie didn't continue, the ominous tone in his voice was audible to everyone.

"The same situation is happening over here as well."

"Likewise..."

Eventually, although Goda and his family representatives did not elaborate further, it was evident that their situation was the same as the other two major families.

Seeing this, David's expression slightly dimmed, but he still turned to Trump and asked, "Mr. Trump, what about your side?"

"Our situation is a bit difficult too, but I think holding onto the tasks you assigned to us shouldn't be a major issue. We might even be able to offer some help to everyone here!"

Having struck a deal with Musk and with the help of his capital, Trump's confidence was somewhat bolstered, unlike those local snake families whose voices sounded subdued.

"Mr. Trump, as far as we are aware, your family is also having a tough day today. How can you be confident that it's not a big problem and even offer to help us?"

Charlie was the first to stand up and counter.

He might not know the full extent of the Trump family's capabilities, but he certainly had a basic understanding.

Moreover, everyone could see the situation in the stock market; they were not blind.

Today, he saw that the Trump family was struggling to manage the companies allocated to them and the frenetic selling by the retail investors.

Yet, now Trump showed no concern and even claimed they could handle it without much problem, even offering to help share some of the burden. Where was this confidence coming from?

Was he trying to draw attention in front of everyone?

Or was he signaling to them that the Trump family had substantial financial resources?

Apart from Charlie, although the other representatives didn't verbally challenge him, their eyes were full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Trump, are you sure there won't be a problem?"

Not just others, by this time David also showed a hint of skepticism.

"Of course, why would I joke about such a serious matter in front of everyone?"

"Alright then, Mr. Trump, you first tell us, if The Big Three Groups use the same frantic selling tactic tomorrow, how do you plan to handle the companies that have been handed to you?"

Again, it was Charlie who first came forward with the challenge.

"Mr. Charlie, no need to rush, I will explain in a bit."

After saying this, Trump looked at Inspector David and added, "Chief Inspector David, I have brought someone with me today, someone you know too."

"Oh? Who is it?"

At this crucial moment, Trump mentioning that he brought someone David knew, indicated that this person was surely not ordinary.

"You'll know soon!"

Trump deliberately released a cliffhanger, then gave his daughter a knowing wink.

Ivanka quickly stood up and left.

A few minutes later, Ivanka returned, but this time there was another person following her.

At the sight of this person, many faces displayed astonishment.

"Musk!"

"Mr. Charlie, Mr. Sean, Mr. Goda, Mr. Beisemai... Good to see you all!"

Since those present were all high-profile figures in America, Musk recognized quite a few of them.

After greeting them, Musk walked up to David, extended his right hand, and with an apologetic face said, "I'm sorry, Chief Inspector David, for making you 'wait'!"
