Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 15

Seeing Anton's brutality, the other two men were kind of regretful. But Anton did not give them the chance to retreat. He aimed his fist at the man closer to him, who dodged the punch at once. Then, Anton flung his leg at the other man, who felt a sharp pain in his groin before he could figure out what was happening. He cried out and writhed in agony on the ground. The other man tried to escape but was blocked by the crowd, among whom a burly man pushed him back and said, “You want to run away? The game is not over yet!”　

The man was pushed towards Anton. He was almost frightened to death when he turned his head and saw Anton standing behind him and glaring at him with murderous eyes. “Help!” the man shouted as he tried to find an opening in the crowd. However, no one gave way to him.

Without a word, Camille sauntered over to Anton and held his hand, feeling as safe and secure as ever. He regained his calmness and strode up to the man. “My name is Anton Williams. Remember it!” he clenched the man’s collar and spoke. The man was left utterly deflated and sank to the ground. Rigidly, he watched as they walked away hand in hand.

“Ha-ha, what a bold and mighty youth! He is young but he can knock down 4 men. That’s good!” A corpulent man of about 40 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, got out of the crowd, with three people flanking him.

Anton stopped and turned his gaze in the direction of the voice and spoke to the man, “You flatter me. What's up?” The next minute, Camille trotted towards the man, “Vicci! What are you doing here?” The man smiled and replied, “I was on my way to run some errands when I passed by this place. Thought I’d stop to check on the business. Unexpectedly, I found such a young hero!”

Camille was glad to hear his praise for Anton. She introduced softly, “Vicci, he is my… my friend!”

The man laughed and said, “Camille, you've got an awesome friend! I saw everything just now. I guess he's your boyfriend, isn't he?”

“We’re just friends! I'm not talking to you anymore!” Camille’s face was flushed a light shade of pink and dragged Anton out of the place. Anton left with her after nodding politely to Vicci, who watched them laughingly until they were out of sight. He told the men behind him. “Look into his background!”　

After leaving the disco, Anton strolled the street with Camille. He asked, “Camille, who's that man? It seems that you know him very well.”

Camille smiled and answered, “He is a friend of my father and brother.”

His instincts told him that the middle-aged man was not an ordinary person although he had never met him before. This piqued his curiosity about Camille's family. “Camille, what do your father and brother do?”

Head bowed, Camille looked hesitant and didn't say a word. Anton said immediately, “I was just asking. Forget about it if you don't want to talk about it.”

She looked up at him, “It's Ok, I'll tell you. Anyway, you'll know about it sooner or later. I'm afraid you'll overthink it if I don't tell you. My brother is the boss of Youth Gang.”

“What!” Anton halted and exclaimed in shock, “Your brother is the boss of Youth Gang!”

Camille nodded, “Hey, there’s no need to be so surprised!”

How could he not be surprised? As one of the three biggest gangs in J City, Youth Gang was obviously managed by a powerful boss. He did not expect that such an influential man could be Camille's brother. Containing his shock, he said, “No wonder you said your brother is an important figure.” After thinking for a moment, he continued asking, “So Vicci is working for your brother?”

Camille nodded and confirmed, “Yes. When my dad was the boss of Youth Gang, he was already in the gang. He is one of the doyens in the gang and he is very nice to me!”

“Well, I can see that, “Anton said. Then he thought of something and laughed.

Camille was confused. “What’s so funny?”

Anton stopped laughing and told her, “It seems that rumors are mostly lies. Your sister is rumored to be the mistress of the boss of Youth Gang in No.1 High School. How ridiculous!”

Camille flushed and said, “My sister was seen being picked up from school by my brother and somehow the gossip started. She was upset and refused my brother’s offer to fetch her again. But the rumor is still circulating in the school.”

Anton asked, “Does your brother know about the fight between me and your sister?”

Camille shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. My sister never tells him about things that happen in school.”

Glad yet a little disappointed at the same time, Anton gave an “Oh”. He wanted a face-off with a strong gang like Youth Gang. Although he knew that he was no match for them, he was desperately longing for a chance to fight with the strong.

Anton grew closer to Camille as they walked and chatted together. He did not walk her home until after 4,00 p.m. He refused Camille's invitation to go in because of Dolores and waved to her before he left.

The next morning, Anton went to deal with something with Carl in Joy Billiards Hall. They talked secretly for hours and did not come out of the premises until after 10,00 a.m.

At the door, Anton said, “Carl, if we succeed this time, we'll get the room for development. But if we fail, they're not going to let it slide. It'll be difficult for us to clean up the mess.”

Carl nodded and said, “Anton, as long as we get the correct information, it'll be easy for us to take them down once and for all.”

Anton raised his head towards the sky and sighed, “Our destiny in J City depends on this.” Then, he walked out of Joy Billiards Hall.

Lawrence, the head teacher, was giving the fourth lesson and lecturing passionately when Anton entered the classroom. He knocked on the door and was about to go to his seat when Lawrence stopped him with a snap, “Anton, what were you doing? Why are you late for class?”

Anton apologized, “Sorry, Sir, I had something else to take care of.”
