American drama life begins with Dr. House

Du Wei was not too surprised when he heard Karen change his name.

He had expected this situation to arise, otherwise he would not have chosen to do it himself.

Because sometimes a proper display of strength can avoid a lot of trouble, for example, it can dispel Winston's little calculation.

Duwei will never forget that John, who worked so hard to help Winston in another timeline, was later used as a bargaining chip by Winston and sold to the high table.

Even though Winston gave John a chance to live by his fate, this was not a charity, it was a retreat left by Winston for himself.

If John dies, nothing happens.

If John were alive, he would still remember his kindness for letting him go.

But Du Wei obviously didn't want to get himself into this situation.

Therefore, Du Wei also needs to make some preparations for this possibility, and showing his strength is one of the preparations.

After all, Du Wei is not alone against the whole world like John once was. There are many feared strong men standing in the shadow behind Du Wei.

This means that Winston will be cautious enough about betraying Duwei.

Because if he cannot eradicate Du Wei's forces, the consequences will be endless.

After all, Du Wei's companions completed the beheading operation of the Divine Will Secret Society with him!

This means that other people also have enough strength to carry out new assassinations.

And an old fox like Winston will naturally understand clearly that unless he has been wandering at sea, he may die suddenly at any time when he returns to land.

But how could he not set foot on land?

After all, the rickety ship is not as comfortable as the Presidential Room in the Continental Hotel, not to mention that it represents an absolute freedom.

So now that Du Wei's strength has been redefined through this action, everyone will re-examine Du Wei.

These changes can be seen from Karen's attitude towards him and his titles.

It turns out that Karen treated Duwei more like he was willing to take more care of John for his sake.

But now Karen respects Du Wei from the bottom of his heart.

He asked himself that even at his peak, it would be difficult for him to replicate what Du Wei had done, so he was willing to give Du Wei enough respect when the two sides were not at odds.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two of them were still sailing on a mediocre yacht on the wide Hudson River.

However, the yacht drove straight past the luxury cruise ship that originally carried Winston and continued forward. Soon it left the scope of the Hudson River and arrived at Hoffman Island, an artificial island in southern New York.

This artificial island was originally used to isolate cholera patients in the early 20th century and served as a quarantine station.

After the epidemic disappeared, it became a bird breeding ground where humans were prohibited from landing on the island.

But obviously this rule is only for ordinary people. Winston, who has worked in New York for many years, has already established a secret base on this island.

It can be said that the previous cruise ship was just a deception set up by Winston.

He may or may not be on the cruise ship. This is Schrödinger's Winston.

It is precisely because of Winston's caution that he escaped most possible assassinations and successfully survived to this day.

It's just that he has chosen to expose his position on the artificial island now and is obviously confident that he can negotiate peace with the high table. This is not a situation Du Wei wants to see.

Soon the yacht sailed to an extremely secluded port.

Although this port is extremely secretive, there are many ships here at this time.

It can also be clearly seen on the pier that two groups of people are wary of each other.

It seems that Du Wei's previous judgment was not wrong. Winston has used the news that the Divine Will Secret Society is about to collapse to start a new round of negotiations with the High Table that would have been impossible to start.

After all, in this era of information interconnection, what happens in Dubai can be transmitted to New York through optical cables much faster than airplanes fly.

Duwei, under the leadership of Karen, saw Winston, who was looking better, in a cave with modern equipment.

It's just that Winston is not alone at this moment. There is an Asian figure wearing a black suit sitting on the sofa opposite him.

The two of them were holding wine glasses at this time, with false smiles on their faces, and they looked like they were having a great conversation.

But at a glance, Du Wei saw that this Asian who looked exactly like Hazelnut Dan was wearing a ring with the mark of 'Judge' on his finger.

Not a coin but a ring.

This means that the person coming is the Executive of the High Table who exists above the adjudicator!

The position of the Executive Officer in the High Table is that of the real leader of the High Table Guards, possessing considerable decision-making power.

And for him to appear here, he must have received news from Dubai.

The overall strength of the Divine Will Secret Society is at the upper level among the twelve seats of the High Table, but now it has been solved by Winston, which makes the High Table have to consider the possibility of peace talks with Winston.

Because the current losses have far exceeded what they can bear. If it continues, no one knows whether they will be Winston's next target.

So this is why the executive will show his sincerity by canceling the reward and then go to the island to negotiate.

There is nothing that cannot be discussed. If there is, let's have a fight first.

Obviously, the two families that have finished fighting have reached the point of talking.

This scene is so similar to the reconciliation between the Adjudicator and Winston on the top floor of the Continental Hotel in another timeline.

But this time, the person standing here is no longer the lonely John, but Du Wei, who has elite soldiers and generals under his command.

Du Wei fearlessly met their gazes and walked over.

Then he sat down very familiarly and took the whiskey on the table and poured himself a glass of wine. After drinking it in one gulp, he pretended not to know and said:

"Winston, since that old woman Alessa is dead, shouldn't we go and kill the executive next?"

As soon as these words came out, the executive officer next to him looked as usual, but his eyes looked down at the wine glass with strong murderous intent.

Did it turn out that Winston had already listed him as his next target?

So is this peace talk a Hongmen Banquet?

Is Winston really determined to break up with the high table?

It's really stupid. What's the use of killing him?

As long as the high table does not collapse, people like him will continue to be recruited by the high table with various things.

So killing him would serve no purpose other than angering the High Table.

But Winston did such a stupid thing twice before his eyes.

Two judges died in his Continental Hotel.

Therefore, it does not seem impossible for Winston to kill himself here.

Realizing this possibility, the executive immediately used the corner of his eye to observe the positions of other people here, trying to find a way to leave here smoothly.

As long as he can leave here, Winston, who has been exposed, will immediately know what a wrong choice is!

While the executive officer was running through various thoughts, a look of embarrassment flashed across Winston's face.

There is no way Du Wei can't see clearly what the current situation is.

So Du Wei definitely said this on purpose.

What? Isn’t he optimistic about his negotiations with the High Table?

Will he use straightforward words to imply that killing the executive is the best option?

But one thing is that he once really thought about killing the new clerk sent to this area by the high table - the executive officer.

But that was before there were any problems with the Divine Will Mystery Society.

Now that the Divine Will Secret Society is about to collapse, he wants to use this as a bargaining chip to seek his own independence rather than continue the fight.

Because if the fight continues, the most that High Table will lose is the New York area, but for Winston, it will be difficult for him to have a stable life in the future. Only death can bring him the final peace.

Therefore, not only would he not kill the executive in front of him, but he would offer it to him in a good manner.

After all, all the conversations between the two of them have to be relayed by the executive to the top of the high table.

But Du Wei's murderous words immediately made Winston start to worry about the executive's thoughts.

Maybe he really should kill him like Du Wei said?

Anyway, executive officer is not an irreplaceable position. Anyone can take this position as long as they have excellent combat skills and some brains.

It seems that it is not impossible to use the death of the executive to show that he only negotiates with senior executives.

But... Winston shook his head and put this 'last resort' option at the end.

After thinking briefly, Winston saw that the atmosphere was filled with an explosive atmosphere. He quickly coughed and started to smooth things over:

"Duwei, what are you talking about?

Haven’t we stopped doing things like beating and killing a long time ago?

Previously, it was said that the executive would be killed because we suspected that the Divine Will Secret Society had already replaced the executive of the High Table.

But now that I've met the executive in person, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a brain-computer interface in the back of his head. He's a real person.

No matter where the Conclave's replacement plan goes, at least His Excellency the Executor remains loyal to the High Table.

So he is not our target, we are only targeting the Divine Will Secret Society that attempts to secretly control the High Table!"

Listening to Winston's speech, Du Wei only felt funny.

After all, it was just a lie he told Karen.

If the High Table really investigates thoroughly, they will definitely find that this is completely false news.

By then, Winston and the high table's restored honeymoon period will instantly turn into a Shura field.

However, the executive who didn't know the truth frowned. Winston's lame excuse was too hard to believe.

But Winston had already given him the steps, so he had to step on them reluctantly.

"What do you mean? What is the Providence Mystery's alternative plan?

And what is a brain-computer interface? I don’t understand.

Sir Winston, I think our time is precious, so we'd better stop playing charades.

If you still want to do this, then I won't accompany you now.

I still have a lot to deal with in this mess in New York."

Seeing that the executive was so frightened by Duwei's previous words that he wanted to get away immediately, Winston glanced at Duwei who had calmed down and was slowly sipping whiskey.

Confronting executives is never easy.

Seemingly relaxed, he carefully considered every word.

Because he clearly knew how many people in the nearby waters were waiting for the executive officer's order.

This is a risky move.

Fortunately he won.

Winston took a long breath and pushed the brandy in front of him aside, then looked at Duwei and said:

"What do you think about this?"

"If you look at it with your eyes, I think you will die."

Winston was not angry, but instead thought about the possible reasons for his death.

Finally he spoke again:

"Is it because of my ambition?"

Du Wei nodded and said seriously:

"Yes, the cake is so big, and everyone wants to take an extra bite.

Your joining will only reduce other people's shares, and they don't want to see such a situation.

If it wasn't impossible, they would have already thought of unifying the high table.

Nowadays, the idea of ​​dead Taoist friends rather than poor Taoists is that they want as few people as possible to share the cake with them.

If you try to squeeze in at this time, you will undoubtedly be the target of public criticism.

So next they will ask you to kill John first, and then attack you because you gave them false information.

And if you kill John, you will lose the trust of your subordinates, and you will have no one to use when facing the offensive of the high table.

I don’t need to say more about what the final outcome will be.”

Winston sighed, he had never thought of this ending.

It's just that he has been working as a hotel manager in Mainland China for thirty years, so how could he not have the desire to take a step up?

This is his best chance, and it may also be his last chance. He has no reason not to try.

Although if you fail this time, you may never have a chance to make a comeback again.

Winston, who had been thinking for a long time, wanted to hear Du Wei's best solution to the problem at hand.

"Then if you were to sit in my seat, what would you do?"

Du Wei chuckled and wiped his neck with his knife.

"Kill the executive officer here, and then use the convenience of knowing the island to severely damage the Praetorian Guards sent to New York by the High Table.

Then integrate the underground forces in New York, and then use this force to intimidate official cooperation to completely control New York.

Then use New York as a base to radiate outward little by little to expand the sphere of influence.

As long as the entire beautiful country is under your control, what about the high table? Who is this Gouba?"

Listening to Du Wei's arrogance, even the wealthy Winston couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

In ancient times, what Du Wei was thinking about had only two words: "rebellion".

But if you think about it carefully, this method is surprisingly feasible.

But after all, he did not take the first step to kill the executive officer, but instead let him go.

If things really develop as Du Wei said, then his move will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, which will cause endless troubles.

Winston shook his head again:

"Then the executive officer has managed to escape alive for some reason, how can you remedy the situation?"

Seeing that Winston was gradually getting into his own rhythm, Du Wei's lips curled up slightly and he continued:

"It's very simple, five words, strike first to gain the upper hand!

Since they will take action sooner or later, it is a good opportunity to use this opportunity of the executive dispatch to mark these people one by one through the city's Sky Eye system.

Do you need me to tell you what to do next?”
