In such an encounter, no matter how good Brenner's cultivation is, he will inevitably be resentful. What's more, the 'negative man' who once chased passionately and later abandoned is now standing in front of him.

God knows how hard it took Brenner to overcome the urge to hit the accelerator with one foot.

"Do you need me to call the police?" Brenner asked with an ugly look as he looked around at the crowd surrounding his car.

"What do you want to do by robbing an active circuit court chief judge?"

"Misunderstanding, Mr. Mahoney, we want to talk to you, we are here to ask you for help." Pence Norton laughed.

"I have a scientific research institute under my name, and the research direction is cancer, maybe you can go there and try it." Said the man next to Pence Norton

"They recently synthesized a new drug and are recruiting volunteers."

"Previously, their first clinical trial data showed that 62% of people had tumors that shrunk and 13% were completely cured. A second batch of volunteers is being recruited after improvements, maybe you can go and try it. After a pause, he glanced at Brenner's backpack

"It's better than injecting a chemical into your body that you can't even trust." Brenner seemed a little moved, and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the man handed over a business card

"That lab is called Vitrakvi." Brenner took the business card, pursed his lips, and didn't speak.

"Mr. Brenner Mahoney, we are short on time. Please get back to me by six o'clock tomorrow morning. With that, the man nodded at Brenner and turned to leave.

The crowd faded like a tide and soon left. The parking lot was quiet again, as it had been every night of chemotherapy.

But a flame rose in Brenner's heart. He took out his laptop from behind and searched the Internet for the lab called 'Vitrakvi', and the results were not long in coming.

Article 1: The FDA may approve the first case of 'broad-spectrum' anti-cancer effect rotreib? Article 2: The chief researcher of the Vitrakvi laboratory revealed that the clinical performance of Rotreib is far beyond imagination, and the prospects are good, and mankind may defeat cancer!

Article 3: Vitrakvi Lab's stock price soars Article 4: Vitrakvi Lab's fourth round of volunteers is about to be recruited.

Article 5: 63% tumor shrinkage rate, 12% complete cure rate, this day, cancer is no longer terrible!

Article 6 ...... It's true!! Brenner dropped his notebook in the passenger seat, clutching his heart to calm himself down.

But the thumping in the chest cavity is getting more and more violent. He picked up the business card with trembling hands and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

It's a simple business card, off-white, with a name on one side and a phone number on the other, and a piece of gold metal 'security logo' the size of a grain of rice in the corner.

Raropurni Vitrakbronner picked up the phone and dialed the number on his business card. After two rings, the phone was connected.

"Brenner, I'm glad you figured it out so quickly."

"You're welcome to join us! You've made the right choice. ”

"What do you want me to do?" Brenner asked, putting down his business card.

"Don't worry, Brenner, we first need you to resign as a judge in a few days." Raropurni Vitrak said unhurriedly

"I guess it shouldn't be difficult, didn't you get the materials ready early? Send it to the Committee now. ”

"Call me again when I'm done resigning, and I'll tell you what to do next."

"By the way, you can find Vitrakvi, right? Go ahead, I've already reserved a place for you, show them your business card directly after you pass, and then receive the first phase of treatment. With that, Raropurni Vitrak hung up the phone.

Brenner stared at the pitch-black phone screen in a daze, and the hand holding the phone gradually strengthened. But he is already old, and no matter how he vents this humiliation of being despised, the phone is still intact.

He could only let go helplessly, put the phone on the operating table, and then carefully put the business card into his wallet and put it close to him.

Then the car was started and the wind rushed out of the parking lot. ………… According to Brooklyn, there are usually three stages to struggle: the first stage, the initial establishment of antagonisms.

At this stage, the two sides are like two armies that are still far away, and both sides are preparing for battle. Mobilize living forces, spread rumors to weaken opponents, and raise resources to suppress opponents...... In the second stage, the struggle begins.

At this stage, the two sides officially started fighting. If the first stage is accumulation, now is release.

The third stage is white-hot. This stage is also the most dangerous stage before the finale. Both sides have exhausted their tactics, and it is time to fight bayonets.

For the ultimate victory, you can do anything. Brooklyn thought that their battle with Pence Norton had reached the third stage, and he thought that the other side would do anything to do it.

But the night passed, and nothing happened. 'Do everything' didn't even see a shadow. This gave Brooklyn the illusion that the other side had surrendered and conceded defeat.

But is it possible for the other party to surrender and admit defeat? In the morning, Pence Norton walked into his office in Brooklyn with Edward Norton.

They filed an application for a change of attorney. According to the application, their lawyer was in a car accident last night and is being resuscitated, and it is likely that he will never wake up again.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, they were asked to be given 10 days to find a new lawyer for them.

"The first time I heard that it takes ten days to change lawyers." Jason Bull, who came in, laughed.

Brooklyn glanced at him, put down the application materials in his hand, and said

"I can't wait for you for ten days."

"2 days."

"You only have 2 days to change your lawyer."

"After 2 days, either have a new lawyer stand in court, or be ready to lose the case." Burns Norton's face was a little ugly, but he responded anyway.

Brooklyn nodded, signed the application, and sent the Nortons away with Jason Bull. Two days later, it's Friday.

It's still within this week. But Brooklyn wasn't happy about it. Ending the fight this week was the deadline he had set.

Now it seems that Pence Norton is reluctant to play by the 'rules' he has set. At noon that day, Brooklyn received two messages that he didn't really like.

Brenner Mahoney resigned as a judge due to health reasons. Johann Manning and Ryne Swegg go on a trip to Staten Island.

Brenner Mahoney is the one who has always made Brooklyn feel jealous. Like Brooklyn, Brenner has the whole of Yale behind him.

Previously, Brenner was moved by Pence Norton to join his stinky fish and shrimp camp, and Brooklyn immediately became a big enemy, worried that Pence Norton's stinky fish and shrimp combination would be transformed into an elite Atlantean army.

Fortunately, Brenner was later diagnosed with cancer, and he was so busy with his treatment that he left Burns Norton's team.

Brooklyn observed Brenner for a few days and 'lifted the alarm' after confirming that Brenner was indeed fully engaged in healing.

Now that I suddenly heard that Brenner had resigned, it was still at this point in time, and I couldn't help but think about it in Brooklyn.

The other is John Manning. The old man seemed to have come to New York to visit, and he spent his days wandering around except for Pete and Neil.

This not only did not make Brooklyn let his guard down, but only made him more nervous. Even if John Manning suddenly moved out of Mr. President to stand up for himself, Brooklyn would not be so nervous.

Moving out, Mr. President, would at least let Brooklyn know what he was doing. But now, he's just wandering around, and Brooklyn can't figure out what he's planning.

Brooklyn has always had a great deal of respect for the unknown. The unknown warns him. Neither of these is good news.

Brooklyn, by contrast, would prefer to hear things like 'Patriot's gunman is back in New York.'"

At the very least, this shows that the Burns Nortons are indeed 'bayonet red'. Instead of being as quiet as it is now, it was unsettlingly quiet.

The feeling of being out of control irritated Brooklyn, which led to a drop in productivity, which was a direct consequence of having to go home with another full bag of papers.

Before the car could leave Hoover Avenue, Brooklyn received a call from Frank.

"Brooklyn, where are you?" Frank's voice was solemn and didn't begin with his signature laugh as usual.

"What's wrong?" Brooklyn asked

"I'm on Hoover Avenue, and I'm rushing to the house."

"It's better not to go home yet, come to the headquarters." Frank said

"We just got a call that someone jumped from the roof of the mall and committed suicide."

"This person is the first person on your list of indictments."

"His family is making a fuss at the eucalyptus site, and many media reporters are at the scene, and it is estimated that someone has already gone to your door to block you." 'Bayonet Red' is coming!

This was Brooklyn's first reaction.

"We've checked the information of the deceased." Frank was still talking

"The deceased worked in a laboratory called Vitrakvi for $100,000 a day."

"I suspect it's probably a new trick on the other side."

"Don't doubt it, it should be." Brooklyn breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly

"It seems that they are not giving up yet, and they are ready to fight back on the verge of death."

"Wait for me for forty minutes, and we'll talk later." Hanging up the phone, Brooklyn asked Ray to change his destination and head to NYPD headquarters.

Fifty minutes later, arrive at NYPD headquarters. Arriving with Brooklyn was Reilly Winston.

Winston hasn't had a good time lately. Compared with Frank, who is high-spirited on the executive side, and Brooklyn, who is strategizing on the planning side, his hair is about to fall out.

Every time Brooklyn sets a target, signs a decree, and every time Frank arrests a person, the series of effects caused by Frank must be smoothed out.

With the cooperation of Brooklyn and Frank, New York was turned upside down and turned into a pot of porridge, and Winston could only eliminate the impact every day and night.

Of the three, he actually has the largest workload. Winston was stretching out of the car with a stubbled beard, and when he saw Brooklyn, Winston brought his face with two dark circles under his eyes to Brooklyn and punched him in the shoulder.

"I'm going to die of exhaustion." Winston complained

"It's even more tiring than fighting ten federal ladies all night!" Brooklyn gave Winston a gentle hug, then patted him on the back

"It's almost over. They're already starting to get anxious. ”

"It's better to be like this." Winston grunted

"In another week, I'm going to die suddenly." The two went upstairs, were led into the office by Frank, closed the door, dropped the blinds, and began a secret conversation.

Winston sat lazily in his chair, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and he could pronounce one less syllable, most of the time Brooklyn and Frank were talking.

Brooklyn first took out the news of Brenner's resignation to share.

"He's likely to be back on Burns Norton's side." Brooklyn reasoned.

"It's not possible, it's certain." Frank corrected, turning the computer screen to show them.

"Vitrakvi is a laboratory specializing in cancer. They developed a specific drug of rotreib, which had a remarkable effect in the last clinical trial. ”

"Brenner had cancer. It must have been them rotreib making the deal in exchange for Brenner's trust. ”

"Can Brenner represent Yale?" Winston, who wasn't going to speak, asked.

"I can't." Brooklyn shook his head. This period of time was mixed with the chaotic battles between Burke, John and Anthony, which made Brooklyn's factional struggle experience stronger.

He explained

"Brenner has cancer, he's old, he's not worth much to Yale, and Yale won't do much for him."

"But what if he recovers from cancer?" Frank asked. Brooklyn frowned, thoughtful

"Brenner wasn't a key figure at Yale. His importance is mainly reflected in his status as Chief Justice of the Second Court of the Circuit. ”

"He had cancer and could no longer serve as chief justice, which led Yale to judge that he had little potential and that he could not represent Yale."

"If he's healthy and continues to serve as chief justice, Yale might get involved."

But now he has offered to resign. Even if he recovered, Brenner, who lost his position as chief judge of the Second Circuit Court, would still not be worth much Yale's effort. Brenner's experience reminded Brooklyn of Anthony Kennedy.

The same is far from the center of power. The difference is that Anthony has served as a justice, and the network he has accumulated is far from that of Brenner, a fellow who has been chief judge of the circuit for less than two years.

Anthony can stay away from the center of power for years, and he can still try to wrestle with Burke when he returns. Brenner can't.

He himself was not qualified to wrestle with Burke, let alone lose his position as Chief Justice of the Circuit.

"It's contradictory." Winston concluded. Contradictory indeed. If this vitrakvi wants to tie up Brenner on the basis of rotreib, the best solution should be to keep Brenner in the position of chief justice.

Brenner, who has lost this position, what is there to value for them?

"As you can see from Brenner's submission today, it wasn't his intention." Frank Road.

"Someone is blackmailing him." Winston rubbed his forehead, choosing to put it in the simplest terms

"Don't trust, Yale."

"The people who wanted to blackmail him were afraid that Brenner would get out of control with Yale." Frank acted as Winston's translator.

"The question is, what do they want Brenner to do." Brooklyn agreed with Winston's interpretation and turned to new questions.
