Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 48

Vicci heard his words and sweated his forehead, and his mind was a little blurred. He laughed wildly, “Haha! I lost! So what? I will kill you before I die!” After that, Vicci firmly pulled the trigger.

“Bang!” A gunshot sounded, Anton still sat in the seat and did not move, but Zara stood in front of Anton, a blood hole appeared in her chest. Zara didn't give the slightest cry, as if it wasn't herself who was injured. She quickly pulled out her gun and pointed it at Vicci. Vicci was startled by Zara. He didn't expect the beautiful girl behind Anton would block the shot.

“If you are looking for death, so be it!” He thought to himself. Vicci did not hesitate to pull the trigger again.

Stephan was just beside and saw the wound on Zara's body. The moment she was hurt, he was alarmed and pulled her into his arms right away.

“Bang! Bang!” Two shots were fired, and time seemed to stop. The people in the conference room were stunned. Zara was shot by Vicci first and felt the great pain and numbness from her chest, and her mind gradually blurred, but she still gritted her teeth and fired a shot towards Vicci the same time he fired at her. Zara's bullet penetrated Vicci's head. But Vicci's bullet was nailed to Stephan's back.

Three of them slowly fell to the ground. Before Zara fell unconscious, she saw Stephan's pale face and understood that he blocked the shot for her. A tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

Anton stood up, and he didn't know what he should do. Youth Gang's elder Vicci died, and Stephan might be dead as well. The Youth Gang had no more leaders. It was easy for Anton to annex it. Anton should be happy, but he was not happy. He went to Stephan's side, took off his coat and pressed it on the wound on his back, and turned his head to shout, “What are you still waiting for? Send Stephan and Zara to the hospital, now!”

The people in the conference hall woke up like a dream and rushed outside with Stephan and Zara on their backs. Anton wanted to go to the hospital to check on them, but he couldn't. There were important things to do.

He inhaled a few times to calm himself down and told his men, “Clear Ramon's body. Remember, be precise. Don't leave even a single hair!”

His men said yes and immediately carried Ramon out. Anton went on to say, “Leave Vicci's body here. Don't move! Go out first!” Saying that Anton sat down and waited quietly for a person.

After a while, a group of policemen came in, they were headed by a forty-year-Sir tall and mighty, with bright eyes and a straight suit. After entering the room, they looked around, there were only two people in the conference room, one of whom was dead and the other teenager was sitting in the middle of the conference table. The man said to the policeman behind him, “Go out and wait for me first. I have something to ask him!” The police officers behind them said yes one after another, and turned to leave.

The man went to the conference table and sat opposite Anton. He said seriously, “You are Anton! I didn't believe in others when they told me in the past. Finally I see you. You are really so young.”

Anton smiled, “I am not sure whether it is a compliment or criticism, but it doesn't matter. I have a name that you remember!”

Mr. Baker smiled and pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, “I didn't come to discuss your age! Vicci died in your hands. It seems that the Youth Gang will be yours in no time!”

“Hey hey!” Anton sneered and said, “I hope you will stop testing me. I feel very sad about Vicci's death. I don't want to kill people, but he wanted to kill me. I am just in self-defense! There is nothing illegal about that!”

Mr. Baker stared at Anton and snorted, but didn't speak. Anton went on to say, “It seems that many people were arrested outside just now! There must be a lot of weapons collected. Such a perfect case is a great credit in the province. Shouldn't you be thankful about my information to you?”

Mr. Baker looked at Anton and felt that this person was not simple. He had seen many bosses of a gang, but none of them had ever been like Anton, at ease in front of him, as if everything was under his control. Mr. Baker sighed and asked, “What do you want?”

Anton said with a smile, “What I want is very simple. You should know it!”

Mr. Baker said, “Spill, as long as it is not illegal, I will try my best to do it!”

Anton shook his head, “Such a stubborn man. Everything has to be done by law.”

Anton said softly, “I can handle things that are not illegal by myself. My request is very simple. As long as the future you will turn a blind eye to my brotherhood!”

Mr. Baker sneered and said, “That is impossible. Anton, keep it in your mind. As long as I am the city director of J City, no one can break the law under my care. Others can't, and neither can you! Don't think that you are the big shot of the underworld and I am afraid of you. If you find me pleasing, I always welcome you to 'Find Me'!”

Anton said, “Mr. Baker! You know that I am a triad. It doesn't matter if you don't worry about your own life. Don't you consider the safety of your family?”

Mr. Baker stood up and said angrily, “I thought of this when I became the director of J City. You don't have to threaten me with my family. If that's the case, you can only make me hate you more. If I hate you, you won't have an easy life also!”

'Shit!' Anton secretly cursed, and he had never seen such a person! Then he stood up and said, “My request is good for everyone. If you let go of us, I can control the whole underworld. I promise that there will be no more disputes. J City will become the city with the lowest crime rate and the most peaceful in the province. You also have a good explanation in the province, and you will be promoted soon as well. What other reasons do you not agree??”

Mr. Baker smiled and said, “There is only one reason. I have to live up to my conscience and duty!”

Alas! Anton was speechless and asked slowly for a long time, “Do you not love money and power?”

Mr. Baker said, “It's not that I don't love it, but like what I said, I must not be sorry to myself!”

Anton laughed. Mr. Baker and his character were very similar. They stayed on their stands, but they chose different paths. One kept his conscience and the other abandoned his conscience. Anton knew that if he was Mr. Baker, he would make the same choice as him. But he was not, he was the person in control of the underworld and with Mr. Baker in the same city would only have a result. One of them quit! Anton also knew that the party who quit would never be himself because he abandoned his conscience.

Anton regretted, “Mr. Baker, it seems that we have nothing to say, and there is no result in the argument.” After that, Anton walked out of the conference room, paused at the door, and said faintly, “I hope one day you won't regret your persistence!”

Looking at Anton's back, Mr. Baker whispered affirmatively, “Never!”

Anton walked to the hall and saw Jasper waiting here. He went over and asked, “Jasper, do the sisters know about Stephan?”

Jasper shook his head and said, “They don't know! I think they are tired and sleeping. They didn't let the people in the gang disturb them. A lot of things happened today. If you let them know what happened to Stephan, I'm afraid...”

Anton nodded, “You did the right thing! Let's go to the hospital first to see the situation of Stephan and Zara!” Anton called to ask which hospital he went to and then went by car with Jasper. When they arrived at the emergency ward, it was croweded with people. When they saw Anton coming, they all greeted him in unison. Anton asked Jason, “How is Stephan's situation?”

“Stephan and Zara have just entered the operating room, and we don't know if their lives are in danger. I hope they can survive! I see that Zara's injury is much more serious!”

Anton nodded and said sadly, “This is the second time she saved me. I don't know how to return her favor in the future. I hope there will be a chance in the future.”

Jason seriously said, “Anton, you don't have to blame yourself. Since you joined Anton Brotherhood, you should be aware that there will be such a day. We are gangsters and earn much more money than others, but we also play with life!”

“Yeah!” Anton leaned against the wall and took out his cigarette while Jason lit it for him. Those people did not speak. They were all waiting quietly at the door of the emergency room. Anton's heart was complicated - he hoped that Stephan could live, but he hoped that he would die also. Otherwise, sooner or later, they would become enemies. Anton was someone who aspired to be the best in everything, and he would never be the No.2. Taking over the Youth Gang was just a matter of time.

After almost two hours, the surgical room was opened, and a young nurse with bloodstains on her body rushed out. Jasper hurried forward and asked, “Nurse, how are the people inside? Can you save them?”

The nurse said as she walked, “I don't know yet. The operation is not over. You can wait!” She passed by Anton and saw cigarette butts on the ground and said discontentedly, “Smoking is not allowed here. Don't you know?” Anton raised his head and stared at the nurse and didn't speak. All the people next to him suddenly stood up and scared the little nurse, until she ran away. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. The atmosphere was finally livelier.

Until almost two in the morning, the news was that Stephan and Zara were both safe. Stephan's injury was minor, and the doctor said that he will be fine after a period of rest, but Zara's injury was more troublesome as there might be after-effects.

The next day, Anton brought the two sisters to the hospital to see Stephan, who was awake. Outside the ward, there were people from the Youth Gang, all of whom were worried. Youth Gang's elders died, and Stephan was seriously injured. The huge Youth Gang was leaderless and had no one in charge, and all the gang members are worried. These people were loyal to Stephan. Vicci's confidant was all arrested by the police yesterday, and the situation in Youth Gang was stable. Seeing Anton, these people were stunned at first, but they immediately came to their senses and nodded to Anton. Anyway, Anton was Stephan's friend after all and killed Vicci, which was of great help to the Youth Gang. The most important reason was that he was Anton, and no one dared to underestimate this teenager.
