Chapter 871: Chapter 436: Spare Your Life_2 Chapter 871: Chapter 436: Spare Your Life_2 “You’re right, although the current situation is challenging, we must make a bold move; this is a matter of life and death!”

…

As soon as Xiaobushi spoke, many Ansa Group members present immediately opposed him.

“I believe there’s nothing in this world that can’t be negotiated; it’s all about how we choose to proceed!”

In the face of the retort from the crowd, Xiaobushi remained unfazed.

Just as the others at the scene were about to say something, the Sect Leader of the Adams Family spoke first.

“Mr. Bushi is right; if we continue to fight in these circumstances, our entire group could face the risk of complete destruction. It’s time to pull out.”

The Adams Family, known as the ‘First Dynasty’ family, had the highest prestige in the Ansa Group. Seeing him openly voice his support for Xiaobushi’s view left the others looking at one another, and no one dared to object.

“Speaking of which, the main culprit behind the assassination plot was actually Freemasonry; we were at most accomplices. Moreover, isn’t David alive and well? I believe there is room for negotiation, and I also trust that he would be happy to see such an outcome.”

Following the Sect Leader of the Adams Family, the Sect Leader of the Roosevelt Family also stepped forward to echo the sentiment.

“Gentlemen, according to what you’re saying, even if we’re willing to pull out, who can guarantee that David will really let us off the hook?”

“Yeah, David is ruthless. If we pull out now and he finishes dealing with Freemasonry and the Illuminati, we’ll truly be left without any support.”

“The Illuminati?”

Xiaobushi let out a cold laugh, saying, “The people of the Illuminati are not fools, nor are they rash. I can assure you, seeing the White House fall into David’s hands, many of them have also started beating a retreat.”

“In that case, the only ones left are Freemasonry, and they…”

“Forget about Freemasonry. Rumors are rife outside, saying that David’s next move will be to act against the Federal Reserve, which is the Freemasonry’s tender spot. They will never let go easily.”

No one in the room contradicted Xiaobushi’s words.

In fact, many present, though outwardly discontent, in their hearts weren’t averse to backing down.

The main issue was that David’s current power was indeed too vast, controlling key departments, making it very difficult for them to compete.

If David could guarantee not to purge them, they wouldn’t mind paying a certain price.

But Freemasonry was different.

They controlled the Federal Reserve, the goose that laid golden eggs, and it was also a major tool for the Freemasonry Group’s development to this day.

So, if they were part of that group, they would definitely resist David to the end.

“Jeff, invite Mr. Sean over for a talk.”

The Kennedy Family was already a member of the Ansa Group and currently maintained a close relationship with David, so Xiaobushi thought of having him act as an intermediary to relay a message to David, while also gauging the latter’s inclinations.

…

Half an hour later, a man was brought in by a servant.

The visitor was none other than Sean.

“Gentlemen, for you to summon me so late without a good explanation is inexcusable.”

Sean had just finished a dinner party and arrived home when he received notice from the Ansa Group. Considering the invitation, he thought it over and decided to come.

Of course, his willingness to come so late wasn’t about giving face to the Ansa Group or the Three Major Families.

Relations between them had essentially come to a head, and there was no need for such courtesies.

His real reason for coming was that the White House had fallen into their hands, so his visit was more about showing off and getting some air.

“Now relying on someone’s support, Mr. Sean speaks with a bit more confidence, doesn’t he?”

The speaker of this slightly ironic comment was Sean.

“Ha ha.”

Sean scoffed dismissively.

In the past, in the presence of a group big shot like Sean, he, a junior, wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous.

But times had changed.

Firstly, due to a series of previous events, the Ansa Group had effectively kicked the Kennedy Family out of the Ansa Group.

Secondly, he was now relying on David.

David was not only high up in the Internal Revenue Service but also had control over the CIA, FBI, NSA, and even the current White House. Such a vast power base gave him enough confidence, so naturally, he no longer needed to fear the likes of the Ansa Group!

“Alright, alright, Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean’s family is one of us, there’s no need to be so standoffish.”

The Sect Leader of the Adams Family hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

“Mr. Yadangsi, you seem to have misunderstood something, our Kennedy family has already been driven out of this group by you, so I’m not one of you now!”

Sean had speculated about the reason the Ansa Group called him when he came, and now, hearing the Adams Family Sect Leader’s polite manner, his previous guess was even more confirmed.

“This is just the wishful thinking of some ignorant people in the group, we of the Three Major Families have never said we wanted to expel your family.”

“Fine, it’s late, and you’ve all gathered here and called me over, let’s get to the point.”

Sean was tired of the pointless talk.

The three from Ansa Group exchanged looks, then the Sect Leader of the Adams Family spoke, “Sean, things have developed beyond many areas now, and we don’t want to continue either. Knowing that you and David are close ‘comrades-in-arms’, we want you to pass a message to David for us. Is there still room for easing relations between our two sides?”

Sean wasn’t too surprised by these remarks.

In the New York incident, the Freemasonry Group was utterly defeated, watching helplessly as the network they had built up was destroyed.

And now with such a major change happening in the White House, it would be strange if the Ansa Group wasn’t scared.

“Now you know fear, what took you so long?”

“You…”

Sean’s mocking words irritated many in the Ansa Group.

The Sect Leaders of the Three Major Families seated at the C position also looked no better, and Sean, holding back his anger, said, “Sean, as a member of our Ansa Group, you should understand our need to protect the interests of the family.”

“I understand, but our positions are different now. Besides, you once planned an assassination attempt, and while it was not successful, it greatly angered Chief Inspector David!”

“The assassination was due to Freemasonry’s deception. How about this, if David is willing to negotiate with us, then we, the Three Major Families, are willing to visit him and apologize in person. How does that sound?”

With these words, the representative from the Kennedy and Roosevelt families couldn’t help but turn their heads.

The Adams Family was known as the first family of America, and now they could utter such almost humble words.

But upon second thought, they could understand.

After all, this was a matter of life and death for the family, and if being humble could solve the problem, it might well be worth it.

Sean didn’t expect the first family’s Sect Leader to be so unassuming, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, “Mr. Yadangsi, I can see you’re quite sincere. I will personally convey this matter to Chief Inspector David, but I can’t guarantee what will happen.”

“That’s great, Sean, whether this succeeds or not, we owe you a favor!”

“Then that will be all, I’ll take my leave.”

Knowing the purpose of the others in summoning him, Sean had no reason to stay and promptly turned and left.
