When dealing with rivals, Dwight Manfredi’s negotiating strategy is as blunt as it is unforgiving. His ability to dictate terms without flinching grows tiresome, leading to a lack of tension in the narrative. In one instance, oil heir Cal Thresher, who owed Dwight a debt for dismantling his Triad partnership, is given a brutal ultimatum: he must surrender control of his entire weed empire.
