“Haha!” Laying on the sofa, Anton held Camille's slender waist and said, “Never mind. It seems that I'll have to sleep on the sofa!”
“Get up. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here. Go to my room for a rest!” Camille pulled Anton up and headed upstairs.
Laying on Camille's bed, Anton smelled a faint fragrance. Remembering the scene just now, he was more than being excited and smiled unconsciously. 'It seems that I like Camille. With her, I'm always excited. I have an indescribable satisfaction at seeing her smiling face. However, why do I have the same feeling for Dolores, and Flora, who was rescued from Lam? I haven't fallen in love with all three of them, have I?' Anton closed his eyes and had random thoughts. Soon, he fell asleep.
Hearing Anton's breath, Camille picked up his phone and softly went out of the room in case that someone would disturb him again. Back in the living room, Camille remembered Anton's words—I think I really like you. She felt very sweet and dreamt about their beautiful future. After a while, the ringing phone interrupted her thoughts far away. Camille took the phone and said with discontent, “Hello? What’s the matter? Why are you always calling?”
The person over the phone was apparently stunned for a while. “Hello, I'm looking for Anton. He's needed for something!”
“He's not available. He's sleeping!” Camille shouted and hung up. On the other side, Carl held the phone and did not speak for a while, then he turned around to Jasper beside him and said, “Jasper, you know what, beauty really is a disaster! Damn it, she dares talk to me like that!”
Carl and Camille have never met, and he had heard of her. He did not expect her to be so disrespectful the first time they talked, so he was furious. Jasper knew her personality. He said with laughter, “Maybe Anton will marry Camille. Then you'll have to serve her, ha!” Staring at Jasper, Carl slowly said, “Jasper, tell me. will you be less talkative if you have no teeth?”
Anton slept until two o'clock in the afternoon when Camille woke him up. They went out for a decent meal and took a slow walk by the river. As the relationship between them became clear, they walked together in a much more intimate way. By five o'clock, it was already dark (it was dark at four o'clock in winter in the north). Anton sent Camille home. Then he went to the Ghost nightclub.
Entering the Ghost nightclub, Anton saw many guests. Many were wiggling like crazy on the stage. Seeing Anton, one of his men hurriedly ran over and respectfully said, “Boss, Carl, and others have been waiting for you.”
Anton was in a good mood, so he nodded smiling. His man led him to a private room, then the man stood guard outside. The backbone of the Anton Brotherhood was all inside, and two middle-aged men covered in bruises were kneeling on the ground. It took Anton quite an effort to recognize that they were Hanna and Issac. Carl arranged for Anton to sit in the middle, then he asked, “Boss, what do we do with these two?”
Hearing the words of Carl, the two men loudly begged for mercy, “Anton … No … Boss Williams, don't kill me. I will give you all my venues. And I have money. I will give you the money. Please let me go!”
Anton stopped smiling and seriously considered it. Although these two people had no power anymore, keeping them would be a hidden danger to him after all. Who could spare someone who always hated him? Watching the two people's tearful and miserable looks, Anton hesitated for a moment. However, after thinking it over, he found it inappropriate for fear of being revenged later and leaving a hidden danger to his gang. He made up his mind and said, “Follow the rules. Let fate decide your life!” Anton did not want to see the two people's desperate looks, so he went outside the private room. He said to himself, 'Remember, you are a villain! Compassion will only make you weak!'
In the private room, Carl took out two black cards from his arms and slowly put them in front of the two people. Their fate would be decided in this way. In the Mafia world, it was the survival of the fittest. Whoever stronger could win, and whoever won could have the say. If not so, then the Mafia would not be the Mafia. At the same time, though, was there any difference between the Mafia and the other part of the world? This was the truth that had never been changed for thousands of years!
Anton was thinking about a question on his way home. Could he like Camille? Could bad guys have change to love someone? He did not know and could only smile wistfully in his heart. He felt that he was pretty much an executioner because his hands were dyed with blood now.
After Hanna and Issac were annexed, the south of the city was completely occupied by the Anton Brotherhood except for the forces of Galvin and Joseph. In the Mafia, the Anton Brotherhood gained the same status as the Brotherhood and Youth Gang, and it gained much respect. Everyone else was afraid of facing a black card one day themselves. The black card became known throughout the Mafia of J City, and everyone knew it was a death card.
