Webster had just finished a party, and he sat back on the sofa at home, a tired look on his face, but occasionally opened his eyes with a hint of satisfaction.

The city, after all, is going to accept him.

Webster, who was a state legislator before coming to Otis and had worked his way up to that position for years, thought he might be able to take the next step and become mayor of a city by the time he was about forty. Then he spent years in a not-so-important position until he retired.

It wasn't until one day that he was notified by his superiors that a commissioner from the imperial capital came to see him, and he learned that he had been named as a mayor by the top of the New Party Committee, and asked him to prepare for the handover of the work in hand, and then immediately take office.

This sudden surprise surprised him, including his family and friends.

It may seem like a step between a congressman and a mayor, but for a politician like Webster, who has no strength and no backstage background, each step takes more than a decade of hard work.

The surprise came so suddenly that he forgot to ask where he would be drafted to be mayor, and the surprise remained until he was sent to Otis City.

This is a very special city, and anyone who has paid attention to the political scene of the empire knows the peculiarity of the city of Otis, which was the first special district of the empire to be formed, and where Durin showed his transcendent means.

This belongs to Doolin, even if there is a mayor with a certain background like Donald, he can't fight a former mayor who has been removed from office and does not live in Otis City, which shows how terrible Doolin's influence on the city is?!

After Webster came to power, he adhered to a cautious attitude and groped forward step by step, fearing that his future would be ruined for some inexplicable reason.

Fortunately, these are all rewarding, and the extremely xenophobic city of Otis has begun to accept him.

The party in the evening was held by some of the seven major shareholders, and there was no substantive theme, more like everyone sitting together to relax, and by the way, talking about the next city policy. He enjoyed the feeling of being part of the city and becoming "one of his own".

At the reception, the shareholders of the Big Seven said openly and secretly that they would continue to support Webster in the general election and let him stay here.

This is a good thing, the particularity and importance of Otis City will inevitably make his experience here the most outstanding achievement on his resume, and getting to know so many big people will also make his future path wider and wider.

Raising his wrist and glancing at the watch, the watch with a mirror-transparent gemstone surface quietly shows unparalleled luxury even at night, which was given by someone else.

It was past eleven o'clock, it was time to go to bed, and there was a town hall meeting to be presided over tomorrow morning, and just as he was about to wash up and go to bed, suddenly the doorbell rang.

After eleven o'clock, those who can enter the community under the name of the city hall of Otis City must be people from the city hall, or people with heads and faces in Otis City, and outsiders cannot enter.

He patted his face and walked to the entrance, "Who's there?"

No one answered, or rather, the doorbell rang more urgently. With some confusion, he walked to the door, hung up the chain, opened a crack, and by the faint light outside the door, he saw a terrible man.

Turin!

The drunkenness in my body disappeared in an instant, and I even felt a little cold, and my blood was cold. At this moment, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and his face changed back and forth, but finally he opened the door.

No way, in the city of Otis, Durin is the god that people need to look up to.

Some people say that Durin's rule over the city of Otis is due to the fact that he controls 64% of the land in the city of Otis, and his two good friends also have 16% in their hands, and together he controls 80% of the land of the entire city of Otis.

If you don't want to run your own business, or if the house you live in is suddenly repossessed, then don't offend Dorin.

In fact, this is not true, Dürin's real dominance over the city of Otis is manifested in the city itself, which is the situation he operates, and the largest vested interest group in the city is his strongest backing - the 400,000 citizens of Otis City.

Durin had a bad reputation in some respects, but among the people, his reputation was very high, and the people feared him and were willing to listen to him, which was the most terrible thing!

"I'm sorry to bother you with a sudden visit so late. Durin looked at Webster standing at the door and smiled and apologized.

Webster waved his hand again and again, "No, I just came back from outside, and I haven't rested yet, please come in ......"

The two entered the room, and Webster noticed that there were several other people outside the house, and some figures in the cars parked on the side of the road, and his heart tightened, and he realized that something must have happened that he did not know that something must have happened, so that Durin quietly came to the city of Otis and came to him at such a late hour.

A glass of water was prepared for Doolin, which was Doolin's request, and he sat in the second seat, giving up the main seat to Dorin, even though it was his current home.

Durin took a sip of the glass and put it down, in fact, this was a way of showing trust in Webster, and it did make the latter a little more relaxed, at least Durin's appearance was not aimed at him.

Durin put the list on the table and pushed it over, Webster picked it up a little strangely, and looked through the pages carefully, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, these three pieces of paper involved one hundred and nineteen names, almost one-third of the seven major shareholders of Otis City. Some of them had been sitting with him for a drink and chatting not long ago.

He quietly put the list back on the table and looked at Durin, "I don't understand. ”

Durin shook his head, "No, you understand. ”

Both of them kept their mouths shut, the room was eerily calm, and Webster's heart was beating faster and faster, which made him feel his mouth dry. He scratched his head a little irritably, and finally broke his peace, "One or two, or three or five are very easy to do, and the people gathered here are equal to half of Otis City." I'm not you, I can't fight them. ”

During took out a cigarette, gave Webster one, lit one himself, he spread his hands and pressed them on the back of the sofa chair, tilted his head slightly and asked him, "Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?", Webster shook his head, During took a puff of cigarette and slowly spit it out, "You still don't understand, you are a policeman, they are thieves, you can't fight them, it doesn't mean that the police can't fight them, it doesn't mean that the investigation bureau can't fight them......"

"I'll stay in Otis City for the rest of the week......," he finished his cigarette, pressed it in the ashtray, patted his knees and stood up, "The city needs an orthodox ruler, and I will nominate a ...... for him", he nodded and turned to leave.

Webster, who stayed in the room, looked at Durin's back, and his heart fluctuated, this is considered a ...... Trading?
