Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 19

Carl smiled, “Jasper, the knife fits you better than the pistol, not to mention only three pistols we have now. Just use a knife!”

Disappointed, Jasper complained, “You all have a pistol except me! How cool to use a pistol!”

Albert said with a smile, “I don't have a pistol either! It doesn’t matter whether we have a pistol or not now, because we definitely will possess many in the future! And Tiger Gang must have pistols, we can get many from them!”

Anton and others picked up pistols and began to practice, while Jasper, pouting and feeling bored, held a shotgun shooting sparrows. Not until it turned to night did they return by driving. Anton led his partners to practice again and again in this way for five days, so most of them grasped some tricks even though they only had little experience to use pistols.

Five days later, Anton found his partners who practiced pistols these days, excitedly preparing to start his plan. He told them his action plan detailed, while others all listened carefully and kept nodding. After properly arranging everything, Anton let them rest for a while. Then he, Carl, and Albert re-checked the plan. When everyone thought the plan was perfect, Anton felt relieved.

Anton was also particularly careful about this operation because he knew who the opponents were—they were very powerful for possessing Russian gangsters as their supporters. So Anton spared no efforts to design this plan.

At 5 p.m., they were ready to take action. Anton exhorted again, “No matter who the opponent is, male or female, old or young, you cannot show any mercy! Kill them all!” They unanimously agreed since they all knew the danger of the action this time.

At 6 p.m., Anton drove forty members to a factory that had long been abandoned in the suburbs. When the truck was a mile away from the factory when it stopped. Anton left Albert and several members to watch the truck and asked them to immediately come to support the moment the gunfire stopped. Then he and Carl led the team into the factory slowly and carefully.

When it was nearly fifty meters away, Carl stopped and whispered, “There are guards there. Be careful!” He pointed to the tree ahead while speaking. Anton stared carefully, sure enough finding there were two people and they seemed to be talking about something. Although it was midsummer, it was still a little dim at 6 o'clock days, making it hard to find the two people under the tree.

Anton signaled to Carl and Bruce, and they understood his hint. Giving the pistols to the men next to them and pulling out the dagger, they sneaked quietly towards the guards. The two men under the tree chatted happily, not realizing the coming danger. They let their guard down because they believed that no one dared to invade this area since it was within the Tiger Gang's sphere of influence.

Lowing their body close to the ground, Carl and Bruce quietly slipped to the two guards. The moment they approached the attack range, they nodded to each other and suddenly shot at the guards, one against one. Bruce covered one of the guards ' mouths with one hand and stabbed the latter’s stomach with the other hand. He kept stabbing until the guard stopped to struggle. He released the guard, finding the man's stomach was wounded severely and his clothes were stained red with blood. Not feeling the breath nor body temperature of the guard, Bruce assured of the latter’s death. Turning his head to Carl, he found that the guard stabbed by Carl was blooding severely too.

They looked at each other with a smile, then Carl raised his arms to Anton, meaning the guards had been killed successfully. Anton received the information and led the others approaching the factory. They could hear the voice of people in the factory from time to time. Walking in front of them, Carl came to the factory gate, looking inside behind the wall.

There were two groups in the factory, one consisting of ten members and the other two. The larger group was headed by a foreigner with blond hair, which Carl guessed belonged to Tiger Gang and the other two men were whom they traded with. Next to those men were four large boxes, and two trucks parked in the corner of the factory. Anton came behind Carl, lower his body to look inside. After watching for a while, Anton turned around and made a gesture to others. Everyone understood his motion and spread out around the factory.

After five minutes, one man carefully came to Anton and whispered, “Boss Williams, we all are ready!”

Anton nodded, wiping the sweat off his hands and stretched three fingers to his followers nearby. Everyone knew that Anton asked them to count three seconds in their mind, then fired together. Anton, holding a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, leaned against the wall.

Three seconds for Anton were like three years. The moment time was up, Anton shouted out loud and rushed into the factory. He raised his hand and fired a shot into the crowd. Not caring whether hit the target or not, he just pulled the trigger continuously, quickly using up his bullets. Others who were at the gate rushed out at almost the same time with Anton, shooting together at the crowd in the factory. In an instant, five of the twelve people who were trading were shot. As members of Tiger Gang had their backs to the gate and were closest to it, all the five men who were shot were from Tiger Gang.

These men originally in the factory were all outlaws, and they realized the coming danger the moment they heard the shots, so they reacted immediately to hide behind shelters. The Russian, leader of the Tiger Gang, scolded, and his two followers grabbed two middle-aged men who were trading with them. “Stupid, Alfred! You dare to betray me!” after saying it, the Russian pulled out his pistol and fired at them. Poor Alfred died without a chance to explain.

Tiger Gang members leaned behind the shelter and began shooting back at Anton and his followers. Anton and his men flashed to the other side since he realized that they could not rush over the enemies. The two sides began to fire at each other. At this moment, the men who had circled behind the factory heard the shots and began to act. Quickly over the factory wall, they seriously hit the Tiger Gang members from behind. Although the shotgun was not as powerful as the gun used by Tiger Gang, its range was very wide. It could attack many enemies without aiming at the targets precisely.

Tiger Gang was caught off guard by a sudden blow at the back, and the remaining five men were also wounded. Only the Russian and a man wearing glasses did not fall. The latter spoke Russian to the Russian leader, then yelled at the men behind him and began running. He shot from time to time as he ran.

Since he exposed his body, he was shot severely by the people behind the factory, his body riddled with bullet holes.

The Russian took advantage of the man who draw the attention of his enemies, running fast towards the other side of the factory wall. Although getting injured, he was still agile. Over the wall, he ran quickly. Seeing the situation turned bad, Anton shouted, “Don't let him escape!”

Carl quickly ran after the Russian at the same time Anton ordered.

Over the wall, the Russian ran into the weeds. Carl and other members chased closely after him, shooting from time to time. However, because of the nervousness and distance, they did not shoot him precisely. The Russian showed superb explosive power and soon left them behind. Suddenly he heard the car ringing on the next thoroughfare, feeling ecstatic, he was running to the thoroughfare. Seeing a shabby truck coming forward, he stood in the middle of the road shouting for help. The truck stopped by his side and a young man jumped off it, saying with a smile, “Need help?”
