Anton Brotherhood

Chapter 29 Alliances

Anton said, “There is no comparison between you and me.”

Stephan sighed, “I am in trouble now. It can’t be easy to keep such a position.”

Anton looked at him, “What you mean must be the Tiger Gang. It seems not necessary for you to worry

about them with such great power.”

Stephan shook his head and said, “There is lots of stuff you don’t know. Tell me something about you.

Don't you plan to expand?”

Anton said to himself, ‘here's the point!’ He smiled, “Well, we do have plans, but we are just a small

gang. We can't expand further. Now the gangsters are in chaos, and we are likely to get into trouble if

expand without any full considerations.”

Stephan stared at Anton and said slowly, “You are too modest! I have heard of the influence of you,

with hundreds of gang members below and the drug dealing getting larger. How could you say that?”

Anton replied, “You thought highly of me.”

Stephan asked directly, “I wonder whether you are willing to join us.”

“I haven't thought about it yet, “answered Anton, shaking his head. “Besides, it's a big deal, and I can't

decide it by myself.”

Stephan got it, and he heard that the Brotherhood also co-opted Anton, but without results. The Youth

Gang and the Brotherhood have been rivals for a long time, but their power was the same, and no one

could beat the other down. Though the Anton Brotherhood rose all of a sudden, their power cannot be

underestimated. No matter whether the Youth Gang or the Brotherhood, as long as Anton joined one of

them, one can simply outperform the other. Stephan knew this and did not want to be too tough. “Since

you have no willingness to join me, I won't force you to. But there is one thing I hope that we can form

an alliance and help each other! What is your opinion?”

Anton was a little flurried, and he can’t imagine Stephan would say so. If finally, he allied with the Youth

Gang, undoubtedly, it is extremely beneficial to him. At least when in the expansion of his power, there

was less an enemy but more a friend. In light of this, Anton said, “I am glad to hear that, but I am afraid

to drag your legs.”

Stephan noticed Anton tended to agree, laughing, “How could it be, you are a young hero, just a few

months to control the southern border. Maybe one day we need you to help!”

Anton smiled and said, “You flatter me. I am the one who needs help.”

Stephan was so glad that he stood up and said, “Very well. From now on, we will formally ally together,

and will cooperate with each other in the future, never back off!” In the meantime, he extended his

palms, which Anton saw, following to stand up. Then the two took an oath by giving five. It seemed that

the way they made a vow was too simple, but it did have a strong restraint, since the gangsters paid

great attention to the trust among them, they looked down on someone who betrayed their oath made

before. Also, it was tough for those people to be someone who owned huge power or money. In

particular, what the boss of the big gang promised before must be done or he would lose his fellows’

trust.

Actually, it was the only way for Stephan. Now he was under the pressure of the gangsters outside J

City, and there was the heavy pressure of the Tiger Gang, and there are continuous disputes. The

Youth Gang was one of the big giants, but it also felt pressure, as the Axe Gang was such an example.

Stephan, as the leader of the Youth Gang, couldn’t keep his position stable. There are strong enemies

outside and evil inside. The elders of the Youth Gang thought little of him as he was very young and

covet the position. Now Stephan was eager to cultivate his own power to solidify his position, and what

he thought highly of was the newly rising boss, Anton. Of course, there are reasons for Camille.

After they aligned with each other, they tend to be close. Stephan pulled Anton and asked, “Brother,

you really don't have any plans to expand?” “If I say no, that's a lie, “Said Anton, “Actually, I'm going to

take over the Axe Gang's territory!”

Stephan thought about it and said, “There are five forces whose relationship is complicated, and there

are even some external forces involved. Brother, it is not a good choice to expand your power taking

there as your target. In fact, even with such great power. I dare not to expand there.”

Anton was struck by what Stephan told him. It seems that taking over the territory of the Axe Gang was

not as simple as he thought. He should consider it carefully when he went back. Therefore, he asked

Stephan, “Do you know what forces are there in the territory of the Axe Gang supporting them

secretly?”

Stephan laughed, “Joseph Jones's power is secretly supported by me! The Tiger Gang and the

Brotherhood also have power among them.” Anton was shocked to hear that, aware that the

information he got was not accurate, and the plan he made was not reasonable, if he expanded

recklessly, the Anton Brotherhood would be finished. Noticing Anton in silence, Stephan continued,

“Now all kinds of forces in the Axe Gang territory are in a mess, even big gang dare not intervene, you

better be cautious!”

Though Anton nodded, he still didn't give it up, planning to discuss with his brothers before making a

decision.”

They talked for a while. Stephan felt that although Anton was young, Anton knew no less than him, and

he had his own unique views on lots of stuff. Stephan appreciated Anton, secretly deciding that ‘he

must make friends with him. Otherwise he became his biggest enemy.’

When the two immersed themselves in talking, Camille emerged from the kitchen and said aloud, “Stop

talking, time for dinner!”

Anton and Stephan looked at each other and stood up to the table. Camille muttered to Anton, “Anton,

help me with the dishes!” Anton said yes and walked to the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, Camille

asked him with much concern, “How is it? How is your talking with my brother?”

“Great!” Anton smiled.

Camille didn’t believe, kept asking, “What have you talked about? Does he force you to do something?”

Anton noticed her with a look of concern, feeling a little touched, told her honestly. “No, your brother

invited me to ally with him!”

Camille was surprised then asked quickly, “Did you accept?” Seeing Anton nodded, she was relieved,

said happily, “You are fortunate to align with my brother. Others who gave money to my brother can’t

make it!”

Anton smiled and said, “Yeah, yeah, I took a big advantage this time!”

“Are you sure?” Camille was aware of the fact that Anton was teasing her, secretly put his little hand on

his arm, 'careful' caressing 'up.

Camille and Anton emerged from the kitchen, the former flushed with a wide smile; the latter face is

blue, the teeth cleft mouth. Stephan laughed when he saw that. Obviously, Anton was “bullied” by his

sister. He said to Camille, “Camille, Anton is our guest, you should be polite!”

Camille put her arms around Stephan and said, “Brother, I am very polite to him. Ask him if you don't

believe me! Right, Anton?” Anton sighed, endured the pain in his arm, smiled, and nodded, “Yeah, she

is very “polite” to me, very polite!”

What Anton said caused another burst of laughter. Stephan said to himself, ‘Anton was also such a

powerful man outside, the boss of the south, but he changed his personality when he is with Camille, it

seems he loves Camille very much!’

The three sat down happily, except Anton, of course. Watching Stephan eat the over-fried dish made

by Camille and from time to time praised that they were delicious, Anton was astonished, admiring him

really deserved to be the boss of the Youth Gang, even the pressure of the Mountain Tai could not

change his expressions!

When Anton was going to leave, it was almost eight o'clock. Stephan sent him to the door and told him

something. In the end, he gave Anton a business card, seriously saying, “If there are any difficulties,

please call me!” Anton nodded, also giving his phone number to Stephan. When he turned to leave,

Stephan stopped him. Stephan asked, “If you need weapons, I can help you. We own a lot!”

Anton got an idea, smiling, “Thanks a lot, Stephan, I do need a batch of arms now, I wonder how many

can you provide me?”

Stephan thought about it and said, “AK just 50!” Anton nodded, “Well, I'll call you when I need it.”

Stephan nodded. Anton said goodbye again before turning away. On the way home, Anton thought of

the conversation with Stephan just now, feeling he was very straightforward and full of integrity. It is ok

to ally with him. But it was not suitable for a boss with such a personality, because he lacks a bit of

hegemony.

The next day, Anton gathered the hall master together in the Joy Billiards Hall, and everyone sat neatly

in the backroom waiting for Anton to speak.

Anton first looked at Carl and said, “Tell them how much we earned this month!”

Carl took out a small black leather briefcase from behind, open a stack of documents, read, “Boss, the

whole income from the show is 100,000, the powder is … 3 million, and we gave … 200,000 to Mr.

Gilbert, half a million to our members and … Yes, there are a few small gangs give us 30 thousand

…”Three eyes scrambled to turn over a file, saying in a fuss.

Anton shook his head, as when Carl finished explaining the account he had been sweaty, breathing a

relief. In the past, managing the accounts was a simple task, and there was no pressure on Carl. Now

the revenue and expenditures were getting larger, and Carl felt much pressure. Carl sighed, “Boss, I

don’t want to manage the account again. I can't do this! I fear no one when going to fight, but this …”

Jasper laughed, “Well, with the money fans are going to hand over the financial power! Ha-ha, I will

take your place!”

Bruce pushed Jasper slightly, said, “You? If let you in charge of the accounts, we will face bankruptcy in

less than a month!”

“Hey, am I just such an idiot?” Jasper said disgruntled.

Carl and Bruce nodded at the same time, looking at Jasper directly, and said together, “You won't know

until today?” “You two …”

Anton interrupted them and said, “It seems that we should find a person who knows how to manage the

accounts! Attention, if you happen to know such man, tell me!” Everyone said yes!

Anton continued, “Yesterday I met Stephan, the boss of the Youth Gang, and allied with him. Later, we

will be the alliance guild. What is your opinion?”

All were glad that they can ally with such a giant like the Youth Gang. Carl said, “Boss, with the Youth

Gang as the backstop, we won’t fear others in the future! Now we can easily take on the Axe Gang's

field!”

Albert held a different idea, “Everyone knows the power of the Youth Gang which is much higher than

we are now, and there is also a purpose to align with us. We should be cautious!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Anton nodded, “Yes, the Youth Gang wants to increase their strength just like the Brotherhood so they

align with us. But they make it in a softer way than the Brotherhood, not to annex us completely, only

the alliance. That's the main reason I promised Stephan. But we can't expect them to help us. It's up to

us to occupy the Axe Gang!” Anton paused and sighed, “The Axe Gang's territory is much more

complicated than we know, and the Youth Gang and the Tiger Gang are also involved. It seems

impossible to solve it easily!”

Carl thought a while and said, “If we can provoke the five forces to fight chaos, we will get the chance.”

“Easy to say, hard to do”, Replied Anton, “The main problem is that we lack needed information, and

we're not very clear about the relationship there.” Then he turned to Bruce and said, “Bruce, you are in

charge of the secret in the guild, and you will be entrusted with the information. You need to give me

the detailed information within three days!” Although Stephan promised to give him the intelligence, he

was not completely sure about that. What they were going to do was important, if there was a slight

error inside, they would be in danger.

Bruce stood up and said, “Don't worry, Boss. Even if I dug a deep hole to the earth, I will get the Axe

Gang clear.” Anton nodded and said, “In the future, the girls in the guild will be in your charge, as it is

much easier for them to inquire about intelligence.”

Bruce nodded. Anton ordered, “Tomorrow, goods from Lam are to arrive again, then Albert and Patrick

take the goods.” The two nodded.

“Tomorrow I'm going to trade arms with the Youth Gang, and Carl and Jasper will go with me!” Jasper

asked, “What about the arms we took last time?” Anton said, “Don't worry. We will deal it later. We will

use them soon or later.”

Finish that, Anton asked, “Is there any more questions? If nothing, just leave!” Quickly, everyone got

up, each busy with his own affairs. Bruce was the most anxious one, as soon as Anton said the

meeting was over, directly out of to discuss countermeasures with his fellows in the Ghost Regime.

The next day Anton called Stephan, ready to purchase a batch of arms. Stephan agreed without

thinking about it. When they were negotiating with cost, Stephan kept the price of firearms low because

he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance Anton's affection for himself, and had the

intention to cultivate the Anton Brotherhood.”

Anton spent only 200,000 buying 30 AK and 50 54 rounds and a large amount of ammunition. Sitting in

the Great Liberation, Carl with the newly bought May Fourth said, “Boss, they are of little quality, even

worse than what we robbed last time!”

Jasper checked out AK and said, “Well, how could it call AK? It's definitely not the same as what we

robbed! Is it made by them?”

Hearing that, Carl took AK from Jasper's hands, looking carefully, said, “Boss, there are some

differences.”
