Michael's biggest mistake was trying to swallow an elephant. His long-standing shady status has made him constantly called around by the government and called at will.

He desperately needed a backer, someone who would allow him to say 'no' to the FBI, the CIA, or whatever other organization was to.

Michael wasn't just nice to Brooklyn. Candidates like Brooklyn, Michael still has hundreds in his hands.

But of these hundreds of seeds, only Brooklyn took root and sprouted. Brooklyn began to grow bigger and bigger, attracting more and more of Michael's attention.

Originally, if you had gone on a step-by-step basis and continued to show favors to Brooklyn, everything would have fallen into place.

But Michael is too anxious, and his businessman nature and bad roots are exposed in this conversation. He was so greedy that he wanted everything, both Brooklyn and New York's profits, and tried to divide a transaction into three and collect three prices.

Michael glanced at the head of the bed. A safe was installed there, and the most important piece of information in his hands was in the cabinet.

Every piece of information in the safe is enough to save lives. The Brooklyn profile is among them.

"I heard you're going to have a wedding with Prosecutor Anne Aldington?" Michael wisely changed the subject.

"Do you want an invitation?" Brooklyn asked. In fact, if you fail tonight, let alone the wedding, someone else might have to show up in the trench in New York Harbor one day.

There is no way for Mark Milai to sell his daughter to a loser.

"I'm going to prepare for the relocation of the company, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your wedding." Michael said regretfully

"Take the information you need as a gift from me." Brooklyn thought for two seconds.

"Thank you for the gift." Sheltering Michael in exchange for information, Brooklyn thought the deal was a good deal.

At the same time, he was amazed by Michael's shrewdness and decisiveness. Naturally, Michael couldn't really be preparing to move to New York.

As before, Michael is still investing. It's just that this time he made a bloody investment. When Brooklyn is in a desperate situation, it is necessary to help with blood, and once Brooklyn wins, the rewards will be very substantial.

Any little help at this time will be rewarded by Brooklyn. Although Michael made a mistake out of greed, he immediately remedied his mistake when he realized it.

Hanging up, Brooklyn sends a text message to Bob asking him to send an additional copy of the list to the designated email address, and contacts Frank and Winston to keep them in touch with Michael.

He didn't say Michael's identity, but said that he had friends to help him get the information he needed and save time.

This surprised both Winston and Frank. They thought they knew Brooklyn well enough to force Brooklyn to show all of his cards, only to have a new backhand.

Michael's help helps stabilize the morale of the army! After doing this, Brooklyn put away his phone and prepared to enter the venue, only to look up to find Anthony standing in the doorway, as if waiting for him.

Brooklyn walked over and stopped beside Anthony. Anthony squirmed his lips and said in a deep voice

"Our agreement is still valid." Their agreement was to get rid of Burke, and Brooklyn supported Anthony to remain Speaker, in exchange for Anthony helping Brooklyn through the storm.

Brooklyn smiled and nodded.

"Yes." Anthony stared at Brooklyn's back for a moment with a complicated expression, and then walked into the venue.

There was still chaos in the conference room. The trio's supporters were arguing. Burke Forsman sat at the conference table, elbows propped up on the table, his hands fingers crossed and his fingers clasped together, silently observing the people in the arguing.

Seeing Brooklyn and Anthony coming in one after the other, he raised an eyebrow, glanced at it, and then looked away.

The three of them returned to the conference room, which made the lively 'discussion atmosphere' in the conference room a little lowered. Brooklyn followed Burke's example, sat there and listened, and soon realized that there were actually five forces on the scene.

Each of the three has three supporters, John Manning's die-hard supporters are the fourth, and the remaining few neutrals belong to the fifth.

Among the three supporters, Anthony has the strongest support and the largest number of supporters, Burke has the least supporters, but his status is not low, and Brooklyn's supporters are not too many and not too low, and the status is neither high nor low, good and bad.

John Manning's supporters and neutrals spoke rarely, and they made up more than half of the attendees.

Among them, John Manning's supporters were vaguely more friendly to Brooklyn, while the neutrals were less favorable to all three.

In fact, these fourth and fifth forces are the most powerful. Burke and Anthony quickly realized this.

They looked at each other and didn't intervene rashly. Bob was sitting behind Brooklyn crackling through the papers, when suddenly, he kicked Brooklyn and sent a press release to his Brooklyn phone.

Brooklyn clicked away, turned around and gestured to Bob, and approached Burke with his phone.

Burke glanced at his phone, his face not very good.

"I didn't expect him to like this kind of game." Brooklyn pointed to a decent-looking old man across from him who was expressing his support for Burke, then to the phone screen and chuckled.

"Do you think people will like a councillor who likes to love games? Will his supporters, seeing him kneeling like a dog, vote for him? ”

"I've been getting a lot of messages like this lately. And him, he, with him, a few of them ......" Brooklyn whispered as he leaned over Burke, pointing out a few of Burke's hardcore supporters casually, and then said

"This is a press release from A, they know my relationship with Harvard, and ask me if I should send it out, Burke, you are more experienced than me, more knowledgeable than me, and have a wider vision, do you think you should send it out?" With that, his phone vibrated twice, and he received another message from Bob.

After clicking on it, it is the information of a person he pointed out just now. Brooklyn grabbed his phone and shook it in front of Burke.

"See. Gee. I really didn't expect that Mr. Burke Forsman, who had a lot of knowledge and a wide vision, would be such a person. At this moment, Burke understood the meaning of Brooklyn's warning in the stairwell.

It wasn't Brooklyn and him who ended up, but Harvard as a whole. Burke Forsman had a sense of absurdity and powerlessness, just for a moment, fleeting.

He worked hard to straighten out Harvard, dig up the cancer, and was almost rejected by the entire Harvard, and in the end he was threatened by what the tumors had done!

This made him wonder if there were any clean people at Harvard.

"Think about it." Brooklyn whispered

"Shut them up and run for Speaker the traditional way, or let them fuck off with you, and I'll have fun with Harvard." After saying that, Brooklyn came to Anthony's side again and concocted the same way.

If Burke is compared to an upright and honest official, Anthony is undoubtedly a dumb official.

Because of Burke's reform actions, Harvard people complained, and a large number of people turned to Anthony's disciples, these people are mixed, and a considerable number of people are tumors in Burke's eyes, which must be cleaned up.

If the handle of the people on Burke's side that Brooklyn has in his hands is at most a personal hobby - Ace love, multiplayer sports, and running wild with the head of the fruit, the people on Anthony's side are indeed criminals.

It's the kind of Brooklyn I've seen at work, in the indictment. And the number is huge, and the pattern is numerous.

This is much more exciting than an indictment. Anthony was visibly irritated. He had only read a few pages, and his whole body was about to breathe fire.

"Shut them up and run for Speaker in the traditional way." Brooklyn whispered. The traditional way is that all members of the Harvard Council vote, and the highest vote wins.

All members of the council are eligible to stand for election. That's how John Manning became Speaker.

But when he became Speaker, he immediately supported many 'leaders' and divided the members of the parliament to prevent anyone from repeating his line and repeating the mistakes of the past.

It's just that he didn't expect that Burke Forsman, who he trusted the most, had a backbone in the back of his head, and he could unify the 'leaders' who were fighting with each other and oust himself from power...... Brooklyn gave Burke and Anthony plenty of time to think.

He was not in a hurry for the time being, and after putting on a posture of not wanting to die, the initiative was completely in his hands.

Burke and Anthony didn't think much of it. Brooklyn's demands weren't too much, and they were within the scope of their acceptance.

If Brooklyn directly used his leverage to blackmail them into supporting Brooklyn's ascension, they would never agree.

But only on the relaxation of the candidacy for the speaker, they can agree. So, after the trio jointly announced the result, the meeting moved on to the next stage.

At this time, the number of people participating in the meeting is not all the members of the council, and in order for all members to vote, it is necessary to notify the other members who are not participating in the meeting to 'go online'.

While waiting, Anne called. Anne didn't know much about the situation in Brooklyn, she only knew that Brooklyn was not in a good situation, she didn't care much about these things before, since she made up her mind to accept Brooklyn's marriage proposal, Anne began to take the initiative to pay attention to this news, and constantly collected information about Brooklyn.

She knew she had to help each other and each other in Brooklyn to go further—not just in their yet-to-be-formed marriage, but in their partnership.

To this end, Anne contacted David and Ray successively, and after getting some information, she called Mark Millaine again.

By testing Mark Milley's attitude, Anne became more aware of the difficult situation in Brooklyn.

Mark Milley came to 'sell his daughter' Anne knew about it, and Mark Milley did not oppose Brooklyn's marriage proposal, which shows that he supports and is optimistic about Brooklyn.

But now Mark Millai's attitude has become ambiguous. That's enough to tell.

Anne didn't stupidly threaten Mark Mee with words like 'forgive you' and 'mother', she calmly expressed her position, tried to analyze Brooklyn's situation, and tried to convince Mark Mee's that Brooklyn was not yet to the point of complete failure.

She didn't have a lot of chips in her hand, so she didn't get much success. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Mark Meaille refused to show his support for Brooklyn.

So Anne hung up the phone and called Brooklyn.

"Are you okay?" Anne asked. Brooklyn wanted to say that he was good, but he couldn't. He won the initiative and achieved the third step of the mission, but the prospects are still not optimistic.

The next thing to compete is popularity, and Anthony and Burke obviously have the advantage.

"It's okay." Brooklyn was vaguely perfunctory. Anne was silent for a moment and said

"Is there anything I can help with?" Brooklyn didn't speak.

"I called Mark Milai and he didn't want to support you." Anne said. Brooklyn stood at the door of the conference room, watching the people come in and out around him.

The old man who had given the eulogy after him happened to pass by.

"I need the truth." Brooklyn grabbed his phone and walked into the hallway, found a clean place, and whispered

"Who exactly killed John Manning. I need the truth. After a pause, he added

"The sooner the better."

"Go to Len Sberger and I'll get Frank to work with you. Get him to speak as soon as possible. "Lane Sberger killed John Manning, this is public information, but everyone knows who killed John Manning, it has been debatable.

If he could reveal the truth before the vote, would it allow John Manning's die-hard supporters to turn favor into support?

Brooklyn has never forgotten that it was John Manning, who teamed up with Burke to get rid of, and welcomed Anthony's return.

At such times, he must eliminate the effects of this unstable factor.

"Okay, I got it." Anne didn't ask much why she did this, and nodded her head in agreement

"I'm near the NYPD headquarters, and I'll go now."

"Hmm. You can go to David. Brooklyn Road

"The police have announced that the murderer is Lane Sberg, he killed John Manning, and Harvard will not let him go."

"As long as he confesses to the real culprit, I can sign a plea agreement that is not too excessive." Anne was silent for a moment, then let out an 'um' sound.

The chips in Brooklyn's hand had a fatal attraction to Lane Sberger, but in Anne's opinion, it was somewhat illegal...... It's not completely illegal, it's just a bit of a sideline.

This made Anne a little uncomfortable.

"Annie." When business was said and done, Brooklyn didn't hang up. He said in a gentle tone

"When this is over, how about we go to Hawaii for a wedding?"

"It's too far." Anne shook her head. She followed

"Brooklyn, I didn't help you in return, I accepted your proposal, we're about to start a family, and our relationship is the closest in the world. I hope we can help each other through this difficult time. ”
