Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 29

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!”
