Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 58

Anton had a headache thinking about it. He decided to take one step at a time, acting according to circumstances! Now he thought he should visit the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the head of the province.

After thinking of it, Anton took up the phone to call Jason. “Jason, help me contact the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. I want to meet him!”

“When? Is it now?”

“Yes, you contact him, the sooner the better!” “Well, Boss Williams, wait for my news. I will go meet him now!”

“Good!” Anton hung up and walked on the playground, quietly stating that he hoped that the secretary would not let him down.

“Anton!” On the playground, Anton dropped his head to think about his ideas. He suddenly heard someone shouting his name. He turned around and realized that it was the girl who was talking with him at the disco that day. She must be Bobbi Robinson, and she was holding a thermo flask and wanted to come towards him by herself.

Anton smiled and nodded, “Hey, Bobbi!”

Bobbi came up and remarked, “Well, Anton, I didn't expect you to be so nice! I assume anybody who has trained in martial arts should be someone with a big ego!”

Anton wasn’t the young man who had been embarrassed after being laughed at by a girl three years ago. He sleekly said, “I am a bold person, but I am also a person who knows how to be nice!”

Bobbi flushed a bit because of Anton's stare. Her eyes flustered, and she lowered her head and said, “Anton, how long have you been practicing Tai Chi? Is it hard to practice? I hope you can teach me when you have time.” Seeing Anton's beaming gaze, Bobbi quickly said, “Don't... don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I only want to learn something about self-defense!”

“Well, I didn't say I misunderstood!” Anton glanced at Bobbi with a smile, thinking that this girl was still very interesting. When Bobbi listened to Anton's statements, her head fell lower, and she murmured, “Can you teach me?”

Anton smiled and added, “It's hard to learn Tai Chi, and it requires persistence!” Anton didn't joke about this. It took great effort to practice Tai Chi. Without the basis, just one or two months of learning might not witness the benefits, and very few people could persevere in studying Tai Chi.

Bobbi replied confidently, “Don't worry. I will be able to hold on!” Then she changed the topic, “Have you had your lunch?”

Seeing Anton shaking his head, Bobbi's face was red, and she added with a smile, “Well, you wait for me to send the thermos flask back to the dormitory then let's go dine together!”

Seeing Bobbi's happy smile, Anton's heart was startled. He quickly replied, “I'm sorry. I have things to do for a while, so I have to leave school. Let’s make it next time!” Anton noticed that Bobbi was kind of into himself, but the White sisters made him feel extremely difficult. If he had something with a third lady... he didn't dare to think about what would happen. It would be terrible anyway!

Bobbi nodded disappointedly, and questioned, “Will you have time tonight?”

“Oh...” Seeing the expression of expectation on Bobbi's face, Anton couldn't bear to reject and paused.

Bobbi didn't give him time to think about it, and replied with a smile, “Well, that's it. Later I…” Bobbi paused before completing the sentence because she noticed a gorgeous and wonderful girl standing beneath a large tree not far behind Anton. She was the one who called Anton away from the classroom last time.

Although she felt that the connection between Anton and her might be odd, she looked at her provocatively, and exclaimed loudly, “That's it. I will see you at night!” After Bobbi finished speaking, she turned and went away, and snorted as she walked past the girl.

That girl, Wendy, was the new bodyguard that Jason found for Anton. Wendy simply continued smiling as she heard Bobbi's snort.

Anton realized the presence of Wendy, his eyes sparkling with surprise. He had no idea how she knew he was here. Wendy smiled innocently as she noticed Anton gazing at her.

Underneath innocent and beautiful look lay a cold heart! Others might not be able to see it, but Anton could see into Wendy's heart at a look. Anton nodded at her and Wendy put away her smile feeling shocked due to his gaze.

Anton walked out of the school, waiting for Jason's call while wondering about his ideas. Wendy was not far behind him.

When it was nearly one o'clock, Jason finally called.

“Anton, great news! At 6 p.m., Chris Wilson (Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee) will arrange a meeting at Shangri-La Hotel (a well-known venue in City H, a five-star hotel). He said that he could spare his time to meet you!”

“Well, excellent!” Anton was very pleased with it. It was extremely exciting to meet the senior leaders of a province in the evening. Jason went on to add, “Anton, I will pick you up at 5,30 in the evening. Just wait for me at the entrance of H. University! Also, Anton, it is very inconvenient to now. Are we going to get two vehicles here? “

Anton replied, “Well, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance then. As for the vehicle, you may take care of it yourself. If you need some money, ask Carl .”

“Okay, Boss Williams!” Anton put down the phone and was in a good mood. Seeing Wendy standing ten meters away from him, he waved at her, “You have been in H City for a while. Have you ever visited the mall?”

Wendy was startled and shook her head blankly, not understanding what Anton meant.

“Well, let's go to the mall and you can't always wear this outfit!” Anton grabbed Wendy and went to the mall beside the school. The latter flushed and was pulled by Anton quietly, realizing that he was not deliberately pompous, and a pleasant sensation rose in her heart.

At 5:20 in the evening, Anton put on the suit that Wendy helped him select in the afternoon. After all, he planned to see the top leader in the province, and he had to dress more properly. The design of the suit was extremely modern, slightly tight, making Anton look much taller.

Those guys in the dormitory met him and questioned with a chuckle whether he was heading out to see his girlfriend. Anton feared to make trouble and replied directly, “You are correct!” After that, he walked out of the dorm. Wendy was waiting for him downstairs, and she was also well dressed with little makeup on her face, wearing a snow-white dress and tiny black boots that gave people a feeling of mystery, which made Anton feel surprised.

They smiled at each other and walked side by side to the main entrance of the school.

Jason waited for a long time at the entrance with two others and welcomed him as soon as Anton walked out. They took taxis to the Shangri-La Hotel.

The decoration inside was very beautiful, with a red carpet, golden light on the walls, and dozens of luxurious big chandeliers lighting the hall like sunshine. After Anton walked in, he felt the same as the first time he went to Stephan White's home, and it was stunning.

Jason walked to the service desk and booked a luxurious room on the fifth floor. Then he gave the key to Anton and said, “Anton, you go up first. I'll go to find Chris Wilson!”

Anton nodded, taking Wendy and two of his men up to the fifth floor. After entering the guest room, Anton was shocked by the decorations inside, and questioned his men behind him, “How much does a room like this cost a day?”

One guy politely replied, “About 1,000 to 2,000! Since it is not the tourist season now, it is inexpensive. Leaders from different cities who travel to the province to report work usually reside here.”

Anton shook his head quietly. ‘One thousand to two thousand? That's enough for my father's one month's salary! Officials treat here as a home. Portals of the rich reek of flesh and wine while frozen bodies lie by the roadside.’

Anton sat on the couch and waited for almost half an hour until Jason brought the provincial Party committee secretary, Chris Wilson. Anton sat on the couch and stared at the middle-aged guy in his fifties. He had jet-black hair but was a little bald. His black rims seemed a little old-fashioned, but the tiny eyes behind the glasses revealed a lot of light. Anton thought that he was certainly a cunning scoundrel.

While Anton glanced at Chris, Chris was also staring at him, with a little surprise on his face. This might be the aggregate expression of all those who did not know Anton when they first saw him.

Sitting and standing, the two protagonists in the room did not talk, and invisible pressure developed between their eyes. Both of them appeared to be waiting, waiting for the other one to feel uncomfortable. To make the other one realize that they were the one who mastered the rhythm. The profound atmosphere made the other four in the room breathless.

Jason's nose was dripping with sweat. He thought that this was not the way to go! He smiled at Chris and said, “Secretary Chris, don't just stand. Please sit down!” As he stated, he leaned down and put out his hand to Chris, making a “please” gesture.

Chris breathed out a sigh of relief. He was astonished that this young guy was confident and exhibited such a powerful aura. Even he himself was no better than him when he met the leaders of the central government. After thinking about it, he smiled slightly at Jason beside him, “Don’t bother!” He went to the couch near Anton.

Seeing Chris coming, Anton eventually got up and extended out his hand and said, “Secretary Chris, welcome!”

Chris glanced at Anton's hand and remarked, “It's so nice of you. Are you...”

“Anton Williams!” Anton scoffed in his heart. “You must have seen too many people every day. Of course, you can’t remember every unimportant person like me.”

Hearing Anton's gentle and stinging remarks made Jason shocked. Chris's face altered, but he quickly clasped Anton's hand and grinned, “Oh, you are Anton Williams. I have heard a lot about you recently. Finally, I realize that Anton is very young! A young hero!”

Anton let go of his hand and sat on the couch side by side with Chris. “Secretary Chris, have you been busy with work these days?” “It is okay...”

The two talked for a bit. Chris was the one to delve into the subject and said, “Anton, I still don’t know why you asked Jason to bring me here.”
