Manhattan, Hotel.

"Hmm." Mark Milley stands by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling business district of Manhattan and listens to his reports.

"Keep up and keep Anne safe."

"Brooklyn? He had that thunder by his side. ”

"By the way, find a chance to contact Ray, he's a good guy, it's a complete waste to follow Brooklyn."

"Hold a grudge? Why should I hold a grudge? Well, so be it. Hanging up the phone, Mark Millay leaned forward slightly, looking intently at the bustling crowd below.

Who says the old ways can't keep up with the times? Who said the old way would be obsolete? Isn't such an excellent young man as Brooklyn also planted on the old way?

Mark Milai snorted disdainfully, turned and commanded

"Go and ask John Manning if he has time." Brooklyn was in a big trouble for him.

It may take a lot of trouble to deal with Pence Norton and Brooklyn, but in the end, it can be done according to normal procedures and through regular means.

But Mark Mi can't. Mark Milai represents the military, and the relationship is in the military, he can cover the sky with one hand in the army, and it is not very useful when he is out of the army.

Theoretically, there's really nothing Mark Milley can do with Burns Norton. He must not send an army against them.

Of course, without going through the normal procedure, Mark Milai has 10,000 ways to deal with them, kidnapping, assassination, explosion, intimidation, threats, etc., etc., and Mark Milai, who has been on the front line in commanding battles, is simply not too good at this.

But New York's affairs need to go through formal procedures, and at this juncture, they need to go through formal procedures. Mark Millay didn't want to waste time on this, so he simply prepared to go to John Manning.

Since the beginning of 2018, there have been a series of strange changes within the FBI, which they may not know about in Brooklyn, but sensitive people like Mark Milai have noticed it early on.

This incident even caused quite a stir, and people were speculating whether the new forces in the FBI had suddenly emerged, or if someone had mixed in with the FBI again.

But this mysterious newcomer is very patient, and does not jump out into the light and jump around, but has been hiding in the dark, and even the impact he has brought to the FBI is only a few changes in directors.

It was never known who the mysterious newcomer really was. Until a few days ago, the mysterious newcomer reappeared and mobilized the FBI to investigate the cause of death of a dog, completely exposing John Manning.

Mark Mee's purpose in coming to John Manning wasn't complicated. Compared with the unreachable military, John Manning's involvement in the FBI law enforcement in New York is more convincing.

In addition to this, meeting the Harvard legend is also the purpose of Mark Millai. Mark Mee didn't beat around the bush when he met John Manning, he behaved like everyone has the stereotype of a soldier, serious, serious, and straightforward.

He directly stated his request, asking John Manning to help deal with the Pence Nortons.

He started with the fact that he had a daughter, although he was not close to himself because he witnessed the murder of his wife after a PTSD attack, but he has been silently paying attention to his daughter, but if he didn't pay attention, his daughter was abducted and ran away.

talked about his worries that his daughter would suffer and had to run to New York many times, that he was not satisfied with Brooklyn anywhere, that he had to help Brooklyn because of his daughter, and that he had to make concessions again and again in this help because of his daughter's existence.

"He should be glad he didn't join the army!" Mark Milley said with a sigh. It seems that this is a worried old father who always feels that every person of the opposite sex who comes close to his daughter is a jerk.

But his seemingly sincere conversation is very profound, step by step, layer upon layer, it can be said that there is no sentence, not a word is superfluous.

This conversation took John Manning's mentality to the core! John Manning is currently in retirement and waiting to die, his life has officially entered the countdown, and the treatment he receives is not to treat the disease, but to relieve the pain and make his last days a little more comfortable.

In this state, John Manning is no longer the wise and decisive John Manning he once was.

This can be seen from his easy exposure to the FBI. Mark Milley was keenly aware of this and used it just right.

Even if you treat a fool, don't really treat him as a fool, otherwise the fool will know that you are making people in the lake, and he will be unhappy.

In Mark Mie's view, John Manning is not a fool, but he is slowly developing in the direction of a fool.

And an old man whose life has entered the countdown, who has experienced strong winds and waves, when he closes his eyes and waits for death, what do others mention that he will be happy?

Obviously, it is his past 'record'. Mark Milley didn't praise it directly, his words at first glance sounded like he didn't know John Manning at all, John Manning's biggest concern and pride was Harvard, but he didn't even mention Harvard's name a few times.

Instead, he repeatedly mentions Brooklyn. But in reality, this is not the case. Brooklyn is John Manning's chosen successor, whether this successor is a piece of or a son of God, and at this point, John Manning will stubbornly hold himself on.

Even if it's a piece of, he'll let that piece of sit on the throne of Speaker of the Harvard Chamber. It's a change in mindset.

Mark Meelai complained every word, looking like he wanted to strangle Brooklyn, but he never mentioned opposing his daughter's relationship with Brooklyn, he just expressed the reluctance and discomfort of an old father who doted on his daughter too much.

He affirmed that Brooklyn was a good man, and he even offered to help Brooklyn. The so-called 'for his daughter's sake' sounded more like an excuse he was making.

Mark Millay's seemingly straightforward and somewhat reckless behavior directly scratched John Manning's itch, and it was scratched continuously on the itch.

In addition to expressing his admiration for John Manning's vision, he also expressed his relationship with Brooklyn on a deeper and subtle level.

As he was convinced, they were old-school people who trusted old-school methods more, such as marriage.

They believe that the best way to bind people and maintain a long-term relationship is not profit, but emotion.

The words complaining that his daughter had been snatched stopped in John Manning's ears, and immediately became that with Annie, Mark Millay had to help Brooklyn.

"You go to the High IQ Crime Fighting Team, an agent named Pete, who can help you." John Manning graciously lent the FBI to Mark Mee, then yawned, looking listless.

Leen silently appeared and injected John Manning with a liquid. Mark Mee saw that John Manning was already in the wind and in bad spirits, and got up to take his leave.

Lane packed up the syringe and took out a warm, wet towel to wipe it off for John Manning, during which he heard John Manning snort in a real way, and he took out another bottle of liquid.

"Sir, two injections in a row can cause a huge burden on your heart. But I just heard, you're in too much pain......" John Manning was naked on the large spacious bed, his body was scrawny, his eyes closed weakly, and he nodded slightly.

Ryne Sberger hesitated, and plunged as John Manning snorted again.

The potion acted quickly, and in less than a minute, John Manning's brow relaxed, and the pain was over.

It's just that the beating heart like a drum makes his face flush abnormally, and even his breathing becomes short.

Lyne Spegg did not dare to leave, so he helped John Manning cover the quilt and patiently stayed by the bedside until John Manning fell asleep, and when the effect of the medicine had passed, he crept out.

Standing in the hallway, after confirming that no one was there, Lane Sberger dialed the phone in Brooklyn.

"Brooklyn? I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I suddenly remembered that Mr. John Manning has not been in good health lately, and that General Mark Milley had just come up to chat with him, and in less than half an hour, Mr. John Manning was very tired, and General Mark Milley had to leave with regret. ”

"So tomorrow maybe you can cook a few fewer dishes, Sir's health has not been good lately."

"Okay, you're welcome, it's okay, well, see you tomorrow, bye." Hanging up the phone, Lane Spegg stood in the hallway with his mobile phone in his hand, his expression changing.

He had many options to choose from, but in the end he chose the one John Manning suggested he would choose.

He had always remembered what John Manning had said, John Manning said he was not smart enough to be eaten alive by Burke, and John Manning said that his most reliable thing was loyalty.

Lyne Sberger understood that he wanted to eat well, and he didn't want to run a stinking farm in Montana, he wanted to stay in New York.

So he offered his loyalty early. But he was a little unwilling. Following John Manning, seeing the demeanor of the big guys, he was a little unwilling to ask Lyne Sberg to give a young man a low and small.

……………… Rien Spegg's attitude was something Brooklyn didn't expect. He even wondered if Lane Sberger was acting at the behest of John Manning, or if he was acting?

Brooklyn couldn't imagine that Lyne Sberger would take refuge in him, and he didn't even think about it.

In his opinion, with his back to John Manning, as the person closest to John Manning before the end of his life, why should he go to others?

Isn't it good to stand on your own? With John Manning's rich political legacy, Lane Sberger will be fully qualified to sit at the Harvard Speaker's table, and the odds are not small.

The next day, Brooklyn prepared the ingredients early, and then received a call from Lynn. Call to inform them that they have departed from the hotel.

An hour and a half later, John Manning, wrapped in thick clothes, was pushed into the house by Lane Sberg.

His state startled Brooklyn. It's only been a few days since we last met, and John Manning has changed dramatically.

His voice is no longer as loud as it used to be, and his words have become muffled, often with a lot of humm-hmm, like a child who has just learned to speak.

The people around him need to be absolutely quiet when he speaks in order to hear what he is saying. He had completely lost control of his body and had been urinating shortly after entering the house.

Lyne skillfully helped John Manning change his clothes, and there was no disgust on his face. He was wrapped in thick clothes, like a thickly buried skeleton, and it was very scary to look at.

His breathing was often intermittent, vaguely absent, and he became tired after only a few words, frowning as he struggled to puff out his shriveled cheeks and snort twice like a mosquito.

His body was no longer able to produce enough heat, so he felt cold. He was like a soul trapped in the flesh.

Brooklyn looked at John Manning's appearance and couldn't help but be a little silent. He still remembers the last time he went to Harvard for a public class and spent time with John Manning.

In the sunlit hallway, he and John Manning walked one after the other, and he couldn't remember what they were discussing.

It was that trip to Harvard that brought him into the center of Harvard's power, and he realized a lot of potential to his current status.

It was that trip to Harvard that changed everything.

"What kind of eyes are you?" John Manning's muffled words interrupted Brooklyn's exclamation.

He is John Manning, and he doesn't need mercy from others! Not a single look is needed! Brooklyn realizes that she almost messed things up, and quickly concentrates.

"You're here at the right time, and you've arrived as soon as the last dish on my side comes out." John Manning snorted, and Lyne Sberg pushed him to the table.

Brooklyn was prompted by Lane Sberger to choose ingredients that were easy to chew and digest, and tofu and fish were the most common ones on the table.

But John Manning wasn't buying it. He tasted everything, and then he either disliked this salty, or found fault with that soup, or this one was not authentic, and that one was not authentic.

None of the dishes on the table met his taste. The whole meal was very awkward, and John Manning acted like a little old man with a strange temper.

Brooklyn is like an unlucky courtier who accompanies the old king, they praise the faint king for his wisdom against his will, and praise the old and dizzy king against his will, but the praised person has no consciousness at all.

A lunch was spent peacefully in a 'harmonious and beautiful' atmosphere, and it was time to inject drugs. Rien Spegg took out a box of potions from his bag and fiddled with it as he whispered to Brooklyn, who was curious to come and watch

"General Mark Milley stayed with us in a hotel, and yesterday I saw Mr. Anthony Kennedy staying in it." Lane Sberger tore open the syringe package and said

"General Mark Millet came to visit him last night, and Agent Pitt and Special Adviser Neil are here this morning." Brooklyn was just curious about what medicine John Manning was using, and looked at Lane in surprise.

I'm just curious, why are you telling me this?
