Webster had just finished a party. He sat on the sofa at home with a tired look on his face, but there was a glimmer of satisfaction in his occasionally opened eyes.


    The city will accept him after all.


    Webster was a state councilor before he came to Otis city. He worked hard for many years and got into this position. He felt that he might go further when he was about 40 and become the mayor of a city. Then he wasted his time in a less important position until he retired.


    Until one day he was informed by his superiors that the special commissioner of the imperial capital came to see him, he didn''t know that he was named a mayor by the high level of the new Party committee, so that he was ready for the handover of his work, and then took office immediately.


    This sudden surprise surprised him, including his family and friends.


    There seems to be a step between the congressman and the mayor, but for a politician like Webster who has no strong strength and lacks background, each step needs more than a decade of efforts.


    The surprise came so suddenly that he forgot to ask where he would be recruited as mayor. The surprise remained until he was sent to Otis.


    This is a very special city. As long as people pay attention to the political stage of the Empire, they all know the particularity of OTIS. This is the first special zone established by the Empire, and it is also the place where durin shows his transcendent means.


    It belongs to Dooling. Even a mayor with a certain background like Donald can''t fight a former mayor who has been dismissed and doesn''t live in Otis. It can be seen how terrible Dooling''s influence on the city is?!


    After taking office, Webster held a cautious attitude and groped forward step by step, fearing that his future would be ruined for some inexplicable reasons.


    Fortunately, these are fruitful. The extremely xenophobic city of Otis has begun to accept him.


    The dinner party in the evening was held by some seven major shareholders. There was no substantive theme. It was more like everyone sitting together to relax and talk about the next urban policy. He enjoyed this feeling, integrated into the city and became "his own person".


    At the reception, the seven major shareholders said openly and secretly that they would continue to support Webster in the general election and let him stay here.


    This is a good thing. The particularity and importance of Otis city will certainly make his job experience here the most eye-catching achievement in his resume. Meeting so many big people can also broaden his future.


    Raised his wrist and looked at the watch. The watch on the mirror transparent gem surface quietly shows unparalleled luxury even at night. It was given by others.


    It''s more than eleven o''clock. It''s time to go to bed. There''s a city hall meeting to preside over tomorrow morning. When he was ready to wash and go to bed, suddenly the door bell rang.


    At more than 11 o''clock, those who can enter the community under the name of Otis City Hall must be people from the city hall, or those who have a head and face in Otis city. Outsiders can''t enter.


    He patted his face and walked to the porch. "Who''s there?"


    No one answered, or only the more urgent doorbell. He walked to the door, hung the door chain and opened a crack. With the help of the weak light outside the door, he saw a terrible man.


    Doolin!


    The intoxication in the body disappeared in an instant, and even felt a little cold, the cold blood. At this moment, I had a lot of thoughts and changed my face, but I finally opened the door.


    No way, in the city of Otis, durin is the god people need to look up to.


    Some people say that durin''s rule over Otis city is due to his possession of 64% of the land of Otis city and 16% of his two good friends. Together, 80% of the land of Otis city is controlled by him.


    If you don''t want to run your own business or the house you live in is suddenly taken back, don''t offend Turin.


    In fact, this is not true. Doolin''s real ruling power over Otis is reflected in the city itself, which is the situation he has managed. The largest vested interest group in the city is his strongest backing - 400000 Otis citizens.


    Durin has a bad reputation in some aspects, but among the people, his reputation is very high. People are in awe of him and are willing to listen to his words. This is the most terrible!


    "I''m sorry, I must have bothered you so late for my sudden visit." Turin looked at Webster standing at the door and smiled and apologized.


    Webster waved his hand again and again, "no, I just came back from outside. I haven''t had a rest yet. Please come in..."


    The two entered the room. Webster noticed that there were several people outside the house and some figures in the car parked on the side of the road. He was worried and realized that something he didn''t know must have happened, so that Dulin came to Otis quietly and came to him at such a late hour.


    He prepared a glass of water for Doolin, which was Doolin''s request. He sat in the second seat and gave the main seat to Doolin, although this is his current home.


    Turin took a sip from his glass and put it down. In fact, this is an expression of trust in Webster, which really makes the latter a little easier. At least Turin''s discomfort is aimed at him.


    Durin put the list on the table and pushed it over. Webster picked it up strangely and looked at it carefully page by page. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. These three papers involved 119 names, almost including one third of the seven major shareholders in Otis. Some of them sat with him drinking and chatting not long ago.


    He quietly put the list back on the table and looked at Turin. "I don''t understand."


    Durin shook his head. "No, you understand."


    They both shut up. The room was calm and terrible. Webster''s heart beat faster and faster, which made him feel dry. He scratched his head and finally broke the calm. "One, two, or three or five are easy to do. The people here gather together is equal to less than half of Otis city. I''m not you. I can''t fight them."


    Doolin took out a cigarette and gave it to Webster. He lit one himself. He spread his hands and pressed them on the back of the sofa. He tilted his head slightly and asked him, "do you know what''s the biggest difference between you and me?" Webster shook his head. Doolin took a cigarette and slowly spit it out, "You don''t understand. You are a policeman and they are thieves. You can''t fight them, doesn''t mean the police can''t fight them, doesn''t mean the investigation bureau can''t fight them..."


    "I will stay in Otis this week to see your performance..." he finished smoking a cigarette, put it out in the ashtray, patted his knee and stood up. "This city needs an orthodox ruler, and I will nominate him..." he nodded and turned away.


    Webster, who stayed in the room, looked at Dooling''s back and felt waves in his heart. Is this... A deal?
