Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 26

The little girl slept very deeply, but when she was lost in the hands of Lam all day worrying about herself. She couldn’t sleep restlessly. However, after being brought here by Anton, for no reason, she felt that the young man older than her a few years can be trusted. With mood relaxing, together with days of fatigue also swept in, she fell into unwittingly asleep. The little girl slept comfortably and felt at home. Suddenly she felt that someone was pushing her, and the sleepy little girl thought her father was waking her up, blindfolded her head, and muttered, “Dad, let me sleep a little longer!”

Anton had no idea whether he should smile or cry, How could he be so old! The little girl is so sleepy that she is unconscious, and it seems she won't get up without pulling her up. Aware of that, Anton grabbed the little girl's covers and threw them back. The next thing made Anton have no idea what to do, the original little girl sleeping money took off her dirty jumpsuit group, wearing only the body-worn underwear. Looking at the little girl's half-naked body, Anton blushed redder than any other red thing in the world. 'Damn it! With his eyes closed, he put the covers back on the little girl. A girl who was led to a strange place by a stranger dared to take off all her clothes and sleep as at her home! She knew nothing about protecting herself! Anton's heart rose unknown anger, shouted, “You, get up now!”

The voice was so loud that the people outside the room trembled, looking at each other and shaking their heads.

The girl was the first to take the brunt of the shock, jumping out of bed. Standing on the bed looking around, finally, she looked down on Anton's face, questioned, “Is there an e…earthquake?” Anton did not answer her question, and he just stared at the girl with fire-breathing eyes.

The girl did not know what happened, looking at the corrugated Anton asked, “What's wrong with you? Are you scared to be silly?”

Anton sighed. The little girl was really testing his patience. He cried, “If you don't put your clothes on, I'll spank you!”

This woke the little girl, looking down, and she was standing on the bed with underwear, and then she shouted, hiding in the covers. Anton shook his head and said, “I give you five minutes to get dressed or I'll come in and help you wear it!” Finish, he strode out of the room.

Anton came out, closed the door, leaned against the wall, and took a sigh of relief. His face was still hot, and he went to the water pipe to wash his face, feeling shameful for his immediate thoughts just now.

Wait for a while, the little girl came out of the room, with her dirty skirt wear on her. Anton looked at her thin and weak body and said gently, “Hungry? I'll take you to eat!”

The little girl did not speak a word, only nodded, for she was still feeling ashamed about what had just happened. The boy had seen her body almost naked. Her face gradually blushed when she recalled that. Although she was at a little age, it did not mean that what she knew about the sex thing between men and women was less than Anton.

Anton led the girl to a KFC restaurant downtown and ordered two chicken legs and a Coke for her. He was depressed about what happened to Jasper, just eating the chips. Watching the girl gobble down, Anton detested Lam even more. He said to the girl, “Where is your home? Tomorrow I will ask someone to take you home.”

The little girl put down the chicken leg in her hand in surprise, looked at Anton hesitantly, and said, “You … you really want to let me go back home?”

Anton joked, “I'm afraid I couldn’t afford that if every meal you ate so much! So I’d better send you home early, or I'll be poor one day!”

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, slid from her cheek, and she pulled Anton's hand and said, “Thank you, you are a good man!” She was crying while speaking, and she just let the grievance of the few days out in tears. She felt the boy was her family, and there was a sense of intimacy and security staying with him.

Noticing that people around were in amazement, Anton patted the girl's hand but did not know what to do next, “Don't cry, and if you keep crying you will not look beautiful. See so many people looking at you!” The little girl lifted her head and looked around, and absolutely, people in the fast-food restaurant were throwing their eyes at her. Feeling embarrassed, the little girl put her little head in Anton’s arms, dared not rise.”

Anton touched the girl's hair, watching her naive and timid appearance, and smiled. If only I had such a sister like her.　

After a while, the little girl finally collected the courage to look around, but nobody noticed her at that time. The little girl puffed up her mouth and took a long breath. Such lovely behavior again caused Anton to laugh. Anton felt really fun with the girl as she always could surprise him, and he felt much better than at first. However, it's just a pity tomorrow is the time for separation.

Something suddenly occurred to Anton, and he asked, “You haven't told me your name yet and where is your home?”

The little girl whispered to him, “I live in H City, and my name is Flora King. And you?”

‘Flora King’, Anton silently muttered this name in the heart. Flora King! Is she a flower? Aware of that, a smile on his face, and he said, “A nice name. My name is Anton Williams!” The girl did not speak, but kept the name firmly in her heart.”

J City was still bustling at night, with shops on both sides of the busy street open, with colorful neon lights hanging at the entrance, shining the whole street brightly. Taking a walk here on a midsummer night was a great treat. Without the noise of the day, there was more serenity of night.

Anton and Flora came out from KFC, and Anton saw little Flora wearing dirty clothes, checking his pocket. Less than a hundred euros left. Anton doesn't buy anything in his free time, and even he bought something, and that was just for his buddies. The money he owned, simply given by his parents, was for his eating! Anton wanted to buy some clothes for the girl, but he didn't have enough money. Shaking his head, Anton was aware that he, the boss was really miserable enough, maybe the members in the Anton Brotherhood got more money than him. He’d better take some money with him.

Anton leads Flora to the night market. He bargained with the vendors of the floor stand in the night market for an appropriate price matching the money on his hands for a suit of clothes and a new pair of shoes. Anton was quite satisfied with that, and Flora at the side watched his bargain with the local stall owner, giggling for a lone time.

Finally, the two took a car to Anton's house. Anton explained to his parents that Flora had been cheated to J City by bad guys, while the men looking on her carelessly let her escape, and he happened to save her. She had no place to sleep at night, so he brought her home and she would be back home tomorrow. After hearing that, Anton's parents felt sympathetic to Flora and said yes. Finally, Flora slept in Anton's bedroom, and Anton had to sleep on the sofa in the square hall.

Earlier the next morning, Anton led Flora to the station to buy two tickets to H City. Then he went to the Joy Billiards Hall to find a simple and thick brother to let him send Flora home. When he was going to leave, Anton looked at Flora in his eyes and whispered, “Flora, please don't tell your parents what exactly happen to you when are home. I'll kick his ass, is it OK?”

Flora nodded and choked up, “Don't worry big brother, I won't say a word. I'll come back to see you!”

Anton was also in a bad mood, waving his hand, and said goodbye to Flora. He said to him, ‘when could I see her again? H City, the central city, is my target as I expand.
