Chapter 814: Chapter 408: The Stock Market Battle

New York, Manhattan Branch.

At this moment, David was still in his office listening to work reports when his phone on the desk rang, interrupting him. He picked it up and saw that it was Elvis calling. He immediately answered, “Tell me, what’s going on?”

“Inspector David, I’ve just detected that The Big Three Groups are planning to make a move on the stock market.”

“Oh? So they’re finally making their move!”

David wasn’t very surprised by this news because he had already considered this possibility even before the Offshore Tax Evasion Bill had failed to pass.

Given the nature of the Freemasonry crowd, it was quite possible that they would resort to the “spilled milk” tactic to spite him.

However, he had Sean and the families that were the local snakes in their respective states prepare for this. Once there was any unusual activity in the stock market, they were to step in and buy immediately!

“Yes, according to reliable information, they’re not just fooling around this time; they’re ready to pay a heavy price. They plan to act right at the opening of the market at 9:30. You need to be careful, Inspector David!”

Elvis couldn’t help much with the stock market situation; he could only try to give a heads-up.

“Okay, I got it. Keep in touch.”

After ending the call, a contemplative expression settled on David’s face.

Although he was prepared for The Big Three Groups to interfere in the stock market, the fact that they didn’t do so immediately after the bill passed suggested internal disagreements, with many unwilling to suffer further losses.

But now, these people suddenly reached a consensus and the only explanation was due to his arrival on Wall Street, especially since he announced a crackdown on the foundations, they were beginning to panic.

It seems they wanted to utilize the stock market to exert pressure on him!

Nevertheless, David had to admit that The Big Three Groups’ move this time was quite targeted.

If the Offshore Tax Evasion Bill had passed, and The Big Three Groups tampered with the stock market right away, the Internal Revenue Service and he might feel pressure, but it wouldn’t be significant.

But things were different now. He was on Wall Street and had announced a tax examination. If the stock market truly crashed,

the investors who suffered losses from the crash would certainly think it was caused by his investigation, which triggered panic on the market. All fingers would point at him.

With this in mind, David’s expression turned solemn. He immediately picked up his phone, dialed Sean’s number, and advised, “The Big Three Groups are preparing to tamper with the stock market. They’re coming on strong this time, so you must be ready on your end.”

“They’re about to make a move… Alright, I got it. I’ll mobilize all the capital to buy in!”

Sean was a smart man; he instantly understood that The Big Three Groups wanted to use this tactic to force David to back away from inspecting Wall Street and he solemnly agreed.

After ending the call with Sean, David quickly made calls to the families that were the local powerhouses in their states, informing them of the situation and telling them to be ready for anything.

Despite this, David’s expression still did not ease.

Right now, whether it was Congress or the influence of the White House, he had surpassed The Big Three Groups.

But when it came to financial issues, even if he allied with many more partners, it would still be impossible to overpower the economic might of The Big Three Groups.

After all, these people controlled America’s economic lifeline!

Unless he could make the entire investing public in America see hope and stand by his side, or perhaps manage to get the national team to enter the market and rescue it, it would be possible to withstand this offensive from The Big Three Groups!

After much thought, David picked up the phone again, and this time he dialed Trump’s number.

Washington D.C., Trump International Hotel.

“The Big Three Groups are pretty decisive this time, creating chaos in the stock market. If David can’t hold out, then naturally, the disgruntled investors will turn their resentment towards him, and he can forget about inspecting Wall Street!”

Trump, as a former President, of course, had his channels, so he also knew that The Big Three Groups planned to meddle with the stock market.

“Yes, Father. Although David had secured many allies in preparation, this time he has aimed right at their lifeline (the foundations). They will definitely do everything they can to create chaos in the stock market. I doubt David can withstand it, maybe we should…”

“Du-du-du…”

Before Ivanka could continue, the ringtone of the phone on the table interrupted her,

Trump picked up and hastily motioned for his daughter to be quiet. Then he pressed the answer button, “What is it, Inspector David?”

“The Big Three Groups are planning to stir things up in the stock market. Have you heard anything?”

“I just caught some whispers.”

Trump did not hide anything.

“They’re coming on strong this time, and I might not be able to handle it well. For safety’s sake, I’m inviting you, Mr. Trump, to join in. What do you think?”

Trump fell silent; he had been president, but he spent much more time as a businessman, so he was very aware that if he joined in this time, a single misstep could mean not just heavy losses but possibly even bankruptcy.

After all, The Big Three Groups’ financial power in the realm of finance was as vast as an ocean, whereas his own wealth was merely a small stream.

What does it mean for a small stream to flow into a vast ocean?
