Chapter 574: Chapter 289: Confrontation with the Illuminati_2

The Illuminati and Freemasonry are not the same. Since the Freemasons control the Federal Reserve and their Jewish identity is more prominent, many of their members have public personas that are well-known to the outside world.

Families like the Rockefeller Family, the Morgan Family, and the Dolby Family are known even to the common man as members of Freemasonry.

However, the Illuminati is different.

Apart from those celebrities who want to flaunt their connection to the Illuminati, their core members are very low-profile, to the point where many people are unaware of their structure or who their leaders are.

Another difference between them and Freemasonry is that the leader of Freemasonry is the Rothschild Family.

Whereas the Illuminati was founded by Adam Weishaupt, whose original intent was to create a world of freedom and equality.

Therefore, the concept he instilled was that the Illuminati was an organization of equals, unlike Freemasonry which has a clear hierarchy and an absolute leader.

However, even though Adam Weishaupt established this organization without ranks, where everyone is equal, in this world, no organization can truly be without a leader.

The Illuminati is no exception.

On the surface, the Illuminati appears to have no ranks and to treat everyone as equals, but in reality, the organization is currently controlled by three Cardinals from the Vatican.

With the largest congregation in the world, the Cardinals, whose status is second only to the Pope, possess enough prestige to keep the members of the Illuminati in check and lead the organization.

Ten minutes later, two Cardinals wearing red robes with cross hats entered. They were called Sandy Silvester and Croft Fitzgerald.

“Is something amiss, Augustine?”

Upon entering, Sandy immediately spoke out.

“We’ve received a message from our members below; David from the America Tax Bureau has gone after Jobs, and he now knows that Satoshi Nakamoto represents us, the Illuminati.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Upon hearing this, both men frowned, and then Sandy said angrily, “This damned David, he has finally traced it back to us.”

Ever since David announced an investigation into Satoshi Nakamoto, the three had a bad feeling, given the man’s formidable capabilities.

Now, as expected, their slim hope was completely shattered.

“What does he want then?”

Croft asked.

“He’s specified a desire to talk with us. It looks like he intends to do to us what he did to the Jewish people, to extort a sum from us.”

“Oh, right, I heard that Freemasonry is quite dissatisfied with him. Now that he’s offended Freemasonry, he still dares to provoke us?”

Sandy felt quite elated when he saw David shearing Freemasonry’s wool some time ago.

After all, there is a competitive relationship between Freemasonry and the Illuminati, with everyone wanting to be the leader of the world order.

He would have loved for the Tax Bureau to clash with Freemasonry until both sides were weakened, allowing the Illuminati to take advantage of the situation.

But unexpectedly, David turned around and raised the executioner’s blade over their heads.

Going to war with two of the world’s largest organizations at once—how dare he do such a thing? Is he truly so confident in his own power?

“This man is simply relying on the thick backing of the America Tax Bureau. Without this significant support, he would have been dealt with already.”

“Enough, discussing this is meaningless now. You know that if Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity is exposed, the currency we’ve worked hard to establish will face the risk of collapse. So, how should this matter be resolved?”

“How about this, Augustine? Let’s talk directly to him and see if we can give him some benefit to loosen his lips.”

After pondering for a moment, Augustine realized that there really was no better solution, so he picked up his phone to call Jefferson again. He got David’s number from him and dialed it.

San Francisco, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Just as David, who had settled in, entered the room, the mobile phone in his mouth began to vibrate with a message. Seeing it was a number from an unknown region, he paused for a moment but ultimately decided to answer, “Who is this?”

“Good day, Director David. I’m a friend of Mr. Jefferson. I heard you wanted to speak with us?”

David’s expression changed as he replied, “How should I address you, sir?”

“Augustine.”

“Alright, Mr. Augustine. Mr. Jefferson must have explained most of it to you, and as for my purpose, you must be aware, it’s quite simple. In a nutshell, virtual currency isn’t above the law. Now that I’ve found Satoshi Nakamoto, that tax must be paid to me. Once paid, the matter will be at rest. As for the fact that nobody knew who Satoshi Nakamoto was before, no one will know in the future either.”

The implication of David’s words was crystal clear: pay the taxes, and I won’t utter a single word about Satoshi Nakamoto; if you don’t, the whole world will know who Satoshi Nakamoto is tomorrow!

Augustine, of course, caught on, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

Not to mention his identity as the leader of the Illuminati, just the cloak of his public persona as a Cardinal was enough to deter most people in the world from raising their voices against him, let alone threaten him.

Striving to calm his mood, Augustine spoke in a deep voice, “Since you, Director David, say virtual currency isn’t lawless territory, then it isn’t. However, I must clarify one thing: Satoshi Nakamoto doesn’t control the 1.2 million Bitcoins rumored by the outside world, but only 10,000.”

“Heh.”

David laughed at this statement.

Given the present value of Bitcoin, 10,000 Bitcoins are worth approximately 560 million US dollars, and this type of virtual currency, as per current tax law, would only be subject to a maximum of twenty percent in capital gains tax.

In other words, the underlying message was: Take 100 million and get lost!

Is that money meant for beggars?

“Mr. Augustine, do you think I’m a fool?”

“I didn’t mean that. I came here to talk with sincerity. We’ve already made a considerable concession. Don’t be too greedy, Director David. It could be your undoing.”

“Is that so? I might agree to lower the taxes. However, the currency that you Illuminati worked so hard to establish was meant to challenge the Federal Reserve, wasn’t it? It would be a pity if it collapsed so spectacularly.”

Over at the Vatican, Augustine, along with Sandy and Croft, the three Cardinals, all grimaced upon hearing this.

David’s words had hit them where it hurt.

Indeed, they had spent so many years and resources to create Bitcoin, which was indeed intended to challenge the Federal Reserve.

And the currency had indeed achieved a certain level of success to date.

In other words, the currency could also be regarded as the lifeblood of the Illuminati. If it were to be destroyed by David, that would naturally be a huge blow to them.

“David, you need to think carefully. You already have a deep conflict with Freemasonry, and if you start opposing us at the Illuminati, can you afford the consequences?”

Augustine said, suppressing his anger and issuing a threat.

“I don’t care how Freemasonry sees me, but if you don’t pay this money, I assure you your currency will meet an unpleasant end!”

“You… very well then!

After saying ‘very well’ three times, Augustine cut off the call.

When David heard the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, he went straight to the adjacent room to find Nisen and said, “Call the office, help me check out this number, 0642XXXX.”

He wanted to see if he could find some information from this number, to see who he was actually talking to.

“Of course, Director.”

Nisen immediately picked up the phone and started communicating with the Los Angeles IRS.
