Anthony's sudden statement—it wasn't a statement, but he hadn't spoken, and now he suddenly spoke, which surprised both of them.

Burke and Brooklyn stopped arguing. Anthony and Anne had just heard the conversation.

Lane Sberger's mysterious USB Burke has also heard of it. He glanced at Anthony and was silent.

Now the silence was replaced by Burke. He's weighing the pros and cons. Anthony cares so much about USB drives, does he have any handle in John's hands?

He intends to 'surrender' Brooklyn? Once the two join forces, he will have no chance of winning. Is Harvard really going to be red everywhere?

This was hard for Burke to accept. Brooklyn was thinking carefully about what was going to happen. He thought about the same thing as Burke, and thought that Anthony had something in John's hands.

The difference is that he suspects that Anthony's long-term silence is waiting, waiting for a chance to confirm, a chance to communicate with Mark Mee!

Brooklyn doesn't think the USB drive in Len Spegger's mouth really exists, but he needs to consider Mark Millai's reply.

Mark Meaille's reply will most likely directly determine whether the next thing will be a smooth or bumpy one.

Anthony snapped in the reactions of the two. He yawned wearily

"If I continue like this, I won't have to do anything with Heather Gerken, I'll be exhausted. We've been in the meeting for almost ten hours. One of you is young, the other is well-maintained, and you can stand it, but I can't. I'm afraid that if I continue, I'll have to lie in a hospital bed and attend meetings. He said this intentionally to lighten the mood.

Anthony yawned

"How about we continue with the status quo?" After yawning, he reached out of his handkerchief and wiped the corner of his eye, pointing at Burke

"You can continue to toss your reforms while staying and overseeing Brooklyn and me." Referring to Brooklyn again

"You are in danger right now, and we can continue to work with the military to help you get through this. It's only good for you. ”

"You have waited so long just to wait for me to have absolutely no room for cooperation with him, so that you plan to stand up and preside over the overall situation as a savior?" Brooklyn sneered and debunked Anthony's words, lowering the atmosphere that had just eased to freezing point again.

"I've done so much and all I get is to maintain the status quo?" Brooklyn Road

"Treat me like a homeless person, do you want to send me away?"

"I can tell you right now, it can't be." Brooklyn said categorically.

"The cooperation between Harvard and the military has been agreed for a long time, and now it is you who are obstructing it and tearing up the contract."

"I'm not the only one who profited from the New York incident, don't say it's like they're helping me for free."

"Don't forget, it's you who have rebelled, not me." Anthony asked, shrugging his shoulders

"So what do you say?" Without waiting for Brooklyn to answer, Anthony pointed to Burke Road again

"There's no way Burke can leave Harvard, and letting him leave Harvard is like letting you leave New York. Would you agree? Then he pointed at himself

"You had to pull me in and get me involved, and an apology obviously doesn't compensate me. So, it's impossible for me to give up. ”

"If we don't give in, we can only stalemate." It was the first time since Anthony joined that the three had negotiated completely openly and honestly.

Anthony said everything that could and could not be said, which means that he thinks that this is the last negotiation, and if it can be negotiated, it will be handled according to the result of the negotiation, and if it can't be negotiated...... If you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it.

This means that Anthony is really tired of continuing to rip off, and like Brooklyn, he has bet all his chips.

The two looked at Burke in unison. Brooklyn has long expressed an attitude of 'Come on! It's a big deal, everyone is done together'.

Anthony had just expressed his attitude, and now it was Burke's turn. Burke gave Anthony a gloomy look and said

"I agree with Anthony's suggestion, as long as you don't bring Lenley Crewe to Harvard." This was said to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn laughed angrily.

"There's nothing to talk about." He shrugged and turned to open the security door

"I don't think there's any need for the rest of the meeting. Anthony, aren't you sleepy, go back to sleep, Burke Forsman, aren't you dissatisfied with me, I'll quit, okay? ”

"I've heard that the scenery in New Haven is good." He glanced back at the two of them and said in a surging voice

"Although Yale is a little weaker than Harvard, it is also a qualified partner to work with."

"A word of caution, it's just the friendship of working together during this time, and leave New York immediately after waking up, otherwise I'm afraid that the law students at Harvard won't even be able to get together the professors who take the class."

"You can try." Burke said for tat and said without backing down

"I also want to know if the New York State government's finances are good enough to support so many lawsuits." Harvard's influence in the industry is no joke.

If Brooklyn did that, it would be a complete break with Harvard, which would see him as an enemy. Anthony also spoke up

"Brooklyn, you can't always use this as a bargaining chip. It can't be reused, and we can't be bound by it all the time. Brooklyn stopped, closed the door again, and turned around

"You were the first to make the conditions that were insincere." There was silence for a moment, Brooklyn said

"I'll get it straight. I am bound to take the position of Speaker. ”

"Burke Forsman, I actually appreciate what you're doing, and if you don't oppose me so much for the sake of opposing me, I'm going to let you stay at Harvard and continue what you didn't accomplish."

"Anthony Kennedy, I'm not sorry at all for involving you, and I'm going to take back my previous apology. I wasn't the one who pulled you into the water. You yourself can't resist the temptation to fall into the mire, and no one is forcing you to do so with a gun. ”

"You can stay at Harvard, but your henchmen must be disbanded."

"In the future, Harvard will not have this school or that school, there will be only one school, and that is the Harvard school!"

"In the future, no one can represent anyone, everyone can only represent themselves! Everyone has the right to have a say in the issue! After a moment of silence, Burke said quietly

"Sounds like you had a win."

"If you've got the win, go ahead and talk to us about what?" Brooklyn looked back with disgust

"Burke Forsman, you're a-stirrer, it's not easy to do one thing with you, but it's not difficult to mess up one thing."

"I admit it, you have the ability, but you use all your power to destroy other people."

"You watch out for this all day long, calculate that, in fact, in essence, you are afraid of other people's success, you are a coward! I can't do it myself, and I don't want others to do it. Only then will you be able to maintain your superiority and show that you have no last resort by pointing to what you have destroyed and saying, 'Look, I knew it was going to be like this'. ”

"Actually, yours is full of intrigue and trickery."

"As soon as things turn out more than you expected, you try to get things back on track as you expected, so as to satisfy your 'prophetic' fetishes."

"Shut up, I'm not done yet!" Brooklyn interrupted Burke's open-mouth speech and continued

"You just want a piece of buttered bread with shit stained on it, and all that's left is disgusting."

"I'm staying to talk to you, not because you're worth, it's just a bid to buy you to shut up! Buy you disappear! Buy you to sit quietly in the corner and study your intrigues, maintain your own image as a 'prophet', and don't come to influence me, Harvard, and others! Do you understand? ”

"There is a saying in the East that is most suitable to describe a person like you - not enough to achieve and more to lose!" This is worse than pointing at the nose and scolding the mother, and the words directly shocked Burke and Anthony.

Brooklyn shifted to Anthony

"Anthony, you brought it all on yourself, but you are very capable. At least you're better than this shit-stained bread that only pretends to be a 'prophet'. ”

"But I can't trust you, and you know why."

"Maybe it's the rules of the game for you, it's a betrayal for me."

"I'm just fed up with the two of you guys, you're old, you're experienced, you're well-informed, why can't you end the mess and get Harvard to unite quickly? Why aren't you valued by John Manning? ”

"You can't even come up with a plan!"

"All you want is to fight for power."

"Do you think I want the position of Speaker for the sake of rights?"

"If I hadn't been tied to the Harvard boat, I wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with you!" Brooklyn vomited and scratched at her hair irritably.

The lack of sleep for a long time inevitably caused him to become agitated.

"Do you really think I can't do anything without Harvard?"

"The military will support me. I can negotiate with Yale, and I'd rather give Yale three components, and Yale will be happy to help me get through this. ”

"They won't even let me spend an extra second on this. Isn't that Barry? Barry Justin, who was suddenly cue, let out a blank 'ah'.

Brooklyn ignored him, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaled again, and finally said

"My bottom line is simple." He pointed to Burke Forsman

"You, either shut up honestly, hide your inexplicable hostility towards me, don't take it out for the rest of your life, and then stay at Harvard and do your job as a cleaner. Or get the hell out of Harvard. ”

"Anthony, either support me and the negotiated share is still valid, or continue to fight with this guy and wait to be recruited by Yale."

"I'm going to convince Yale to step up the pace of annexation, and I think Yale will be happy for me to help out if necessary." Brooklyn's words were hard to hear, but in the end he gave his own terms.

It's also a negotiation. While expressing the depression in his chest, he negotiated at the same time. Regardless of Burke's reaction to Anthony, Brooklyn felt much better after saying that.

Brooklyn had long been in a 'big deal, let's play together' gesture, and now he's taken it out again.

This gave Anthony and Burke a brief illusion that Brooklyn seemed to have the win!

Of course, this illusion was short-lived. can stand here and fight for so long, everyone knows each other well, and they are not rookies, and after a little analysis, we know that Brooklyn's confidence is not that he has the chance to win, but that he can go out.

Brooklyn accuses Burke of being a-stirrer, but he is no slouch himself.

Whether he has the ability to unite Harvard and return to strength is still a mystery, but he definitely has the ability to make Harvard collapse and pull everyone to 'die in the belly of the fish'.

Brooklyn was willing to give it up, but Anthony couldn't. It has to do with background and experience. Whether it is the experience of orphans in memory or the memory of the long term, it cannot erase the reckless imprint on Brooklyn.

An 'aristocratic' person like Anthony would never be willing to give up. He is always weighing the pros and cons.

Burke's origins are somewhat similar to those of Brooklyn, so mentally, Burke can still hold on.

But it was useless for him to hold on, Anthony couldn't hold on, he couldn't fight two people alone. In this case, his best bet is to weigh the pros and cons.

At the end of the day, it's a trade-off. In Brooklyn's opinion, he has been forced into a corner, and he has no choice, so he simply gives up everything and sacrifices his life.

While sacrificing his own life, he also gave Anthony and Burke a choice, giving them a choice.

If there was a choice, Brooklyn himself would not have given up his life. There is only one life, which is the foundation of everything.

The atmosphere in the stairwell begins to grow eerie, and there is a lot of inquiry and distrust everywhere. Just then, the security door was opened, and Anne Aldington returned.

She nodded at Brooklyn before speaking to Anthony

"Mark Millay does have a USB drive in his hand." As she spoke, Anne walked over to Brooklyn and stood still, her left arm around Brooklyn's waist with a calm expression.

After speaking, she gently kissed Brooklyn's cheek, then let go of her arm

"You already know our attitude, and the rest is your internal affairs at Harvard, and I won't get involved. Hopefully a good result. ”

"It's better for everyone to work together for a win-win situation than to contain each other, and no one can leave anything behind." With that, she retreated to the security door with her hands behind her back, opened the door, and left.

Brooklyn took in Anthony's uncertain face. He didn't press any further. What should have been said has already been said, and at this point it is only left to wait, believing that Anthony will make his own choice.

Saying more about it can be counterproductive. Burke was also looking at Anthony. He was not sure whether John Manning's USB drive was real or fake.

Seeing that Anthony had not said anything, Brooklyn nodded and turned around

"I'll go back first." With that, he opened the security door and left. Burke looked at Anthony who was hesitant, but he couldn't ride the tiger himself.

It's easy to say 'he's lying to you', the question is will Anthony believe him if he says it? The two are not allies in an offensive and defensive alliance.

He said that it might backfire, and Anthony would misunderstand that he was uneasy, even though he really wasn't...... Now it will only be up to Anthony to figure it out.

Looking at Anthony, who had a tired face and a little blue in his eyes, Burke's heart sank. Outside.

Leaving Brooklyn was relaxed. At the same time, I was surprised. The relaxation was that he was one step away from the finish.

The one who was surprised was the USB drive. I didn't expect John Manning to really have so much energy! Thinking so, Brooklyn turned the corner of the hallway, and Brooklyn bumped into Annie, who was crouching on the ground.

Seeing Brooklyn coming, Anne stood up and hugged him. Brooklyn could feel it, and Anne's body was shaking.

He gently patted Anne on the back, and when Anne stopped trembling, he asked softly

"You didn't go to see Mark, did you?"
