Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 24

Lam looked at Anton intently, according to his experience Anton did not lie, and Anton indeed did not lie. Lowering his head and thinking for a moment, then Lam, who didn’t want to offend Anton for this, gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! Since my brother likes her, then I have nothing to say. Just be careful, brother, you can't let her run away!”

Anton said with a laugh, “Brother Lam, do you think I am such a careless person?”

Lam said, “Brother, I believe in your ability. You take that girl away later! I won't keep you today. I’m intended to deliver the goods within days. What do you think?”

Anton’s delighted that Lam agreed to give him the girl, so he answered happily, “No problem, I am waiting for your goods. You just wait for the money!”

Lam stared blankly at Anton for a second, then they burst into laughter together. The girl got up just after Anton went out, hidden in the room, and overheard their conversation through a crack in the door, knowing that the fat man with a broad face was going to give her away to that handsome young man. She felt both happy and worried inside; she was happy that the young man didn’t look like a bad guy, though not a good guy, but still better than the fat man. She was worried that she didn't know where she would be taken to, and the place may be farther away from home, or she may be sold. Countless thoughts rosing from her heart. The girl felt a mix of emotions.

Anton and Lam spoke for a while. Waiting until noon, Anton said goodbye to Lam. Lam also did not keep him. Called a cab to send Anton back to H City along with the girl. Before leaving, Anton was told by Lam to be careful again, and don’t let the girl escape, which made Anton so angry that he wanted to kick his fat face, but he refrained the urge finally.

Arriving H City, Anton did not stop and asked the driver to drive him to J City directly. The driver knew he was Lam’s friend, so drove him to J City directly without any delay. When they were near the Joy Billiards Hall, Anton got off the car with the girl and send the driver back. As he didn't want Lam’s people to know their gathering places here.

Anton hold the girl's hand and walked toward the Joy Billiards Hall, where gathered dozens of brothers with worried looks discussing something. “Why are so many people here? Is something wrong?” Anton had a bad feeling. He pushed the door open and asked loudly, “What are you doing here? What's wrong?”

When they saw Anton, they gathered around him immediately, and one person said hastily, “Brother Anton, bad things happened!”

Anton looked at him and ask, “What's it? Tell me clearly!”

All of them are trying to explain to him and Anton couldn’t get a clue in such a chaotic condition, so he shouted, “Quiet!! Say it one by one. You tell me what's going on?” Anton pointed at the man who was speaking, and the man wailed, “Brother Anton! Jasper has been cut up ... by 17 times and in the hospital, Bruce was taken away by the police!”

Anton’s mind went blank at the news as if he was hit by thunder, he grabbed the man’s collar suddenly and asked, “How about Carl? Where is Carl?”

The man was frightened by Anton’s reaction, saying in a shaking voice, “In.. In the Ghost!”

Anton let go of him, turned around, and was going to walk out when he suddenly noticed the girl beside him looking at him. Anton released her hand and gave it to her brothers. Then he said, “locked her in the inner room. Don’t touch her, and don’t let her escape!” They looked at the girl, and then looked at Anton again, nodding dully.

Anton strides out of the Joy Billiards Hall, and then took a car to the Ghost. At the door, he saw a lot of brothers standing outside and arguing. Anton was both anxious and angry. He only left for less than a day. Then such big things happened, and they were in a mess. “Why are you all standing here?”

Hearing the sound, they all turn around. When they found it’s Anton, they all gathered around him as if they have seen the savior. Anton, being anxious to see Carl, shouted, “where is Carl?” one person answer loudly, “Carl is inside!” Anton pushed the crowd away and went inside. With all lights on, there were no guests in club. Only more than 200 members standing in the venue and talking loudly. Carl, Albert, and Patrick were on one side and discussed something. Anton shouted, “All of you, quiet!” In an instant, the noise in the Club disappeared, and everyone's face was lit up at the sight of him. Carl and others ran to Anton immediately, with eye sockets slightly red.

Carl came to Anton and gave himself two slaps first.” Brother Anton, it's all my fault! If I hadn't been emotional, Jasper and Bruce would have been fine, you punish me!” After that, Carl kneeled on the floor, lowered his head, and his tears came out.

Anton's mind was in turmoil, then he pulled Carl up and guided him to the single room, followed by Albert and Patrick.

When they entered the room, Anton closed the door and asked, “Tell me what happened.

Carl told him everything. After several people, including Carl, sent Anton away, they were all down, so Carl suggested they went to Ghost instead of going back to school, Jasper and others all agreed out of depression. They never thought it was chaotic there. The brothers who stayed in the Ghosts were mostly wounded, lying on the ground, and Lydia was so busy. so we asked them what happened immediately. A brother who was still sober said that Sickle Gang came here to make trouble, beat all the brothers who were guarding the club. Before they left, they told Anton Brotherhood to get out of the Ghost in three days. Otherwise, they would attack anyone from Anton Brotherhood whenever they saw it.

Jasper, who was in a bad mood, exploded at these words. So he took a knife and was going to fight with Sickle Gang. Carl was intended to stop, but then he thought angrily that when did Anton Brotherhood be bullied by others, so they asked Lydia if she knew anything about this gang. Lydia told him that God nightclub, not far from Ghost, was looked after by Sickle Gang.

Carl heard that and laughed. Then he calls the Joy Billiards Hall immediately, telling them to notice brothers, taking their weapons and meeting at Ghost. Less than half an hour, brothers in the Joy Billiards Hall send fifty men here. Carl led them out, ready to get back at Sickle Gang. Albert felt the action inappropriate, so he stopped Carl and told him to wait until Anton has returned. Carl listened but did not accept his suggestion, and then Carl took people away.

Jasper and Bruce followed Carl to God nightclub. As Albert couldn't stop Carl, he had followed them as well. They didn’t envision that there was nobody in there, Albert and Carl had a bad feeling almost simultaneously, so they wanted to withdraw but it’s too late. There were dozens of young people with knives rushing in from the inside rooms and from the outside to slash at us without hesitation. Our brothers were caught off guard, and several people were cut, falling down instantly. Led by Carl, the brothers fought fiercely, and finally got out of God nightclub, but Jasper and Bruce were still trapped inside. When Carl was intended to fight back and save them, a distant wail of sirens came from. Albert dragged Carl out of the scene by force, along with other brothers. While inside the hall, Jasper kept Bruce in the inside room with his body blocking against the door. When the police arrived, Jasper suffered a total of seventeen heavy slashes, which had reached the bone. He was unconscious when he was sent to a downtown hospital by police. A man of Sickle Gang told the police that we came into rob and they were forced to fight back. He had a relationship with the captain, so the police took Bruce away without a word. Bruce took all the blame at the police station but the police didn’t buy it and tortured him by all means, but Bruce didn’t reveal anything.
