Brooklyn has learned a lot from the last time they met Cremont at the Oriental Restaurant. For example, he needs to decentralize.

There is also a difference between delegating power, not a big hand and nothing. For example, Dan Lis's planning and follow-up implementation, this kind of thing can be delegated to others, and he only needs to ask regularly and listen to the report.

For example, whether Anthony sells tranquilizers or hallucinogens in his gourds requires Brooklyn to see for himself.

Leaving this kind of thing to someone else, Brooklyn will not be at ease. He has been conducting remotely in New York since the Manhattan Hotel meeting ended, and has not yet returned to Boston.

On top of that, there's the old coin of Heather Gerken, and Brooklyn doesn't believe he only has such a simple move.

Once this old coin makes a move, it must be a chain of links, and the trick that is now exposed is simply too simple, and it is clumsy like playing at home.

Wednesday, July 24th, afternoon. As the sun sets, Brooklyn's plane landed safely at Boston Airport.

Harrison was the only one in his entourage. Harrison's wife and children have returned from abroad. This is a temporary compensation that Brooklyn has given Harrison.

As always, Harrison maintained a high level of professionalism, helping Brooklyn carry his bag, leaning sideways at Brooklyn's side, looking at the people around him as he walked, his other hand naturally hanging down at his waist.

Out of the airport, get a car and go straight to Harvard Law School. It was a completely unexpected trip, and Harvard didn't hear anything about it beforehand.

Webster bought the ticket, not Bob - in fact, it wasn't until after the plane took off that Webster remembered to report to Bob.

So when Brooklyn arrived at Harvard Law School in the dark sky, he was stopped by someone as soon as he stepped into the campus.

Harvard's security guards were conscientious, demanding that Brooklyn explain his intentions and show proof. Brooklyn was a little confused.

How did he not know that Harvard had a tradition of credential access? After tossing and turning for a while, Brooklyn was picked up by Anthony.

By this time it was completely dark. Anthony wore a bucket hat and hid his gray hair under it, and he didn't look older than the last time they saw him, but Brooklyn could see a little brightness in his eyes.

Anthony had come from home, he had already come home from work, and was playing games with his little grandson, when he suddenly received a call from Brooklyn and had to drive over to relieve Brooklyn.

Since he came, Anthony naturally wouldn't just leave. Harrison helped Anthony park the car, and then stayed behind the two of them not far away.

Brooklyn walked around campus side by side with Anthony, and no one spoke. They were like a weird couple.

"Maybe we should build a building specifically for the use of the council." After a round turn, it was already past nine o'clock, the campus began to become deserted, and the frequency of students and professors began to decrease considerably, and Brooklyn suddenly spoke.

Anthony glanced sideways at Brooklyn, took off his bucket hat, and didn't speak.

"It's a good way to cut the gap between Parliament and Harvard itself, and to show people that Parliament doesn't fully represent Harvard." Brooklyn continued

"But parliament and Harvard will go hand in hand." There are many benefits to making a certain cut between Harvard and Parliament.

For example, if one of them has a problem, the other party can say, 'I'm not the same thing as it', and in the same way, one party is brilliant, and the other party can be polished.

This can effectively reduce the risk, so that you will not be wiped out if you don't believe it, as you did before. Anthony still didn't speak.

Brooklyn had to ask

"What do you think, Anthony, what about this idea?"

"Not good." Anthony paused and said.

"Harvard and the parliament are one." Anthony said

"Without Harvard, the parliament has no meaning or value at all, and without the parliament, Harvard is a piece of fat that exudes an alluring fragrance but has no power to fight back."

"The parliament is the armor and weapon of Harvard, and Harvard is the foundation of the existence of the parliament."

"It's a terrible idea to split them up." After a pause, Anthony said

"Brooklyn, I know what you're here for Boston."

"I also know what you want to see."

"I'm old." Anthony pointed to the top of his head

"When I wake up in the morning and wash my face, sometimes I suddenly feel that the person in the mirror is so strange. Sometimes I stare at my belly, my little brother, and it's amazing how small they start to get smaller. ”

"Brooklyn, I'm old, I really don't have the energy to continue fighting with you, you're still so young, you can spend a few years on this, I can't, in a few years, I may not even be able to get out of bed." He pointed to Brooklyn and then to himself

"It's like this. This level of exercise is nothing to you, but for me, even though I keep exercising every day, I still feel tired. ”

"Brooklyn, what I said on the phone was true. But it's good for you to see it for yourself, and I hope you can understand me after reading it. Anthony said a little excited, a gust of wind blew, he couldn't help sneezing, then rubbed his nose, and said with some loss

"Let's go back to my office first, and if we stay any longer, I might catch a cold." This came as a surprise to Brooklyn.

Before coming, he imagined many possibilities, and he was even ready to be invited into the urn. It turns out that it seems that Anthony really just seems to be tired and old and doesn't want to waste his life anymore.

This left Brooklyn in disbelief. He, Anthony, has served as a justice, has a wide network of contacts with swing votes, and he knows at least a third of the upper federal legislators.

Such an Anthony suddenly told him that fighting for power and profit is a waste of life, and he doesn't want to waste his life?

The politician suddenly turned to a philosopher. Brooklyn slowly allowed herself to come to terms with this fact.

"Anthony, I don't want you to leave." Brooklyn said directly

"I didn't come to Boston to see you—not to be as uncomfortable with you as you think. I said I gave you the power not to suspect you until you betrayed me and betrayed Harvard. ”

"Actually, I came to Boston to deal with Heather Gerken."

"Heather Gerken?" Anthony repeated in surprise, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized.

Brooklyn watched Anthony's reaction all in his eyes. A politician who doesn't care about the news......

"I want you to stay for a simple reason." Brooklyn waved his hand

"There's no way I'm going to move to Boston. Boston needs someone to reassure me. Brooklyn stepped forward and shook Anthony's hand and said sincerely

"Anthony, help me." Anthony was silent, he wanted to pull his hand out, but he was clutched by Brooklyn, and he couldn't withstand Brooklyn's strength at all.

He could only hold Brooklyn's hand back, with a wry smile on his face. This is preparing to squeeze out his last drop of value!

Although there are many people working in Boston, the center of the Harvard Council is not actually in Boston at all.

The Harvard Parliament is a circuit court-like affair, with members working in their respective positions and not having to travel to Boston for parliamentary matters.

If you have any questions about the council, please contact us online. Although there are a number of programs in Boston, such as the Panel, which is located in the law school, all participants in the Panel must come to Boston regularly each week to attend the Panel's in-house seminars.

Boston does have more people than other cities, but not to the point where it is necessary to have a reliable man in the center.

Brooklyn forced Anthony for a number of reasons. One is to keep Anthony under his nose so that he can keep an eye on him.

Brooklyn is encroaching on Anthony's power. The projects he proposed were like a furnace in which all forces were thrown into it and smelted, and the final project would all belong to Brooklyn.

In the process, he needs to make sure that the original owner does not collude with outsiders to kick over his stove. The second is Anthony's connections.

Brooklyn covets Anthony's connections, which should remain at Harvard, if not for him.

The third is to use Anthony as his second knife. Therefore, Brooklyn really kept Anthony, and his sincere eyes were not acted.

"Lopez Mitchelson is a better fit than I am." Anthony said. Brooklyn immediately denied it, saying that López had his job.

He asked Lopez to seek Anthony's help many times, and one of the purposes was actually to prepare for Lopez to inherit Anthony's connections.

López approached those people on behalf of Harvard, and López's succession represented Harvard's succession. Anthony mentioned several more names in place of himself, but they were all denied by Brooklyn one by one.

"Brooklyn." Anthony took a deep breath, took a step back, and pointed at Brooklyn with his bucket hat, his tone a little sad and angry

"Don't you think you're going too far?" Brooklyn tilted his head, then shook his head

"Anthony, I sincerely hope you can stay, I didn't expect you to see me like this." Excessively? When teaming up with Burke forced him to fly around, begging for help, he didn't say anything too much.

If you want to quit when you see that things are irretrievable, where is it so easy?

"What the hell are you going to do?!" Anthony's voice raised slightly. Brooklyn smiled

"Stay, Anthony, I need you, and Harvard needs you."

"What the hell do you want?" Anthony said it again, exactly the same as the last time, not even a word changed, but the tone was completely different.

Last time, it was a question, but this time there was only helplessness.

"Tell me, how will you let me go." Anthony asked, lowering his arm

"Let's be honest, how can we get me out with dignity?" Brooklyn thought for a moment and said

"These guys in the research team are a nuisance. And this trouble is caused by you teaming up with Burke to put pressure on me, so the trouble needs to be solved by you. "Anthony just doesn't want to take care of things, he's not a fool.

With his political literacy, he has long seen clearly that the research group is nothing more than a garbage dump prepared in Brooklyn.

When it's cleaned up, it's time to dispose of the garbage. And he, as the person in charge of this garbage station, simply cannot stay out of it.

This is also the reason why Anthony asked Brooklyn to complete the draft by the end of August, and proposed that he should leave at the end of August.

He knew that it was impossible to get out without paying any price, and that if he wanted to leave, he had to pay for it.

Helping Brooklyn with garbage is what he pays for. He just wants a dignified exit.

"Now that there are people out there who want to join the research team, with Heather Gerken's encouragement, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop these people who are rushing to find death." Brooklyn said

"But I had to clean up the garbage again."

"Anthony, what do you think I should do?" Brooklyn stalls

"Let the Harvard Speaker bear the infamy?"

"I, I." Anthony's voice trembled for a moment, then returned to normal, and he spoke clearly.

"I've promised you to leave at the end of August when the research team is over." Brooklyn nodded

"But this kind of thing can't be only this once, Anthony, stay, you all love Harvard so much, don't you want to shine for Harvard?" In the dim light, Brooklyn grinned and looked like a beast.

Anthony was completely at a disadvantage in this negotiation. He didn't have any leverage other than begging for mercy. The only thing he could hope for was that Brooklyn had a habit of trampling on the dignity of others, and for the sake of his whispered begging for mercy, he would be spared.

But Brooklyn had just suffered a loss, how could he let him go so easily? Brooklyn's transformation of Harvard is small, but it is deadly.

He has made the senior members of the Harvard Council lose their 'seniority', and he is using one support program after another to wash away the old stigma on the members and make them his own supporters.

The process will not be quick, but it has left all senior MPs in despair. For them, it was like waiting for death, and they could only watch Brooklyn wash away their brand, and watch Brooklyn continue to eat away at their own power, but they could not do anything about it.

Anthony was one of the first to understand the process. So he cooperates, he swears, he indulges in fishing, and now, he begs for mercy.

But for Brooklyn, how could he possibly let the food that was already on the plate run away?

Even if it's just a chicken neck or a chicken head, Brooklyn will chew on the bones and suck every drop of it until it can't taste a little more.

That's when the bones are gone. It's still far from it.

"Brooklyn, what the hell do you want?" Anthony's face shifted, and finally, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

It was as if he had reverted back to the high-spirited Anthony he had before the Manhattan hotel meeting.

"It's impossible for me to accept this condition." Anthony said

"If that's your bottom line, then we don't have to talk about it."

"I'd rather jump off that than take it." He pointed to the roof of the library not far away, and said seriously but firmly.
