Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 59

Anton stared at Chris without speaking, tapping the coffee table gently with his fingers. The room became quiet again, and just the collision of fingers and the coffee table rang out. After five minutes, Anton stated directly, “I want the underwold in H City!”

“Hmm?” Chris could not grasp Anton's meaning, gazing quietly.

Anton got nearer to Chris and gently said, “I want the same privileges as Uncle Joshua, but I don't want to end up like him! I hope Secretary Chris can assist me!”

This guy had such a good appetite that he wanted to be the ruler of the mafia in H City. Chris was a bit unhappy. He didn't like greedy people, and he didn't like smart greedy people. He grinned and replied, “You are very naive. There was just one Uncle Joshua in H City, and only one. There won’t be a second one!”

“Oh?” Anton smiled and said nothing.

“I'm telling the truth. There is really nothing I can do!”

“Yes! Only you can help. Of course, I am a person who remembers the friendship of others for me. Whether it is good or bad, I will store it in my heart, not forgetting it for a minute, simply waiting to pay back one day!” Anton looked at Chris as he talked, with icy light flashing in his eyes from time to time. Even Jason Brown, who was standing at the entrance, could not help trembling with fear.

Chris's expression altered quickly, and he exclaimed loudly, “You mean I...”

“What I mean is that if Secretary Chris truly helps me, I would never treat you meanly, and at least I’ll give the ‘government’ this every month!” Anton stopped Chris and held out his three fingers.

Chris's eyes lit up and realized what he meant. He was going to give him 300,000 yuan per month. He smiled and replied, “It's not a matter of money...”

“Four hundred thousand!” Anton leaned on the couch, gazed up at the ceiling, and interrupted him.

Chris did not respond to that and quickly added, “I mean...”

“Five hundred thousand!”

“I...”

“Six hundred thousand!”

“I… You...”

“Seven hundred thousand!” Anton didn't give Chris a chance to respond but interrupted him again and again.

“You...”

“800,000!” Anton replied with one hand on his chin, “Well, this is the greatest price I can pay. If Secretary Chris agrees, I will give you 800,000 per month!”

Sweat appeared on Chris’s head. 800,000 each month? What an incredible amount! Chris couldn't believe his ears, and it was much difficult to believe that this came from a young guy who was younger than twenty. With a shaking hand, he took out a cigarette, but he couldn't locate the lighter. He searched his jacket pocket and then his trouser pocket. Anton stared at him coldly, knowing that Chris was thinking about it now, or, he was waging an ideological battle.

Most corrupt officials were created by nothing more than a word of “desire”, but they must also have a direct connection with the bribing. Just as Anton was doing today, there were a few individuals who could ignore his money and force.

Jason came forward to assist Chris to light the cigarette. Anton waited patiently for Chris to give an acceptable response.

After a while, Chris remarked, “Your conditions are incredibly attractive, but I believe you still don't know the status of the provincial Party committee very well.”

“Oh?” Anton looked at Chris in doubt.

“Although I am the leader of the province, there is one person whom I do not dare to offend. You know, after the death of Uncle Joshua, the City H was chaotic for a time. At that moment, the central government dispatched a special commissioner as the Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, and he is in charge of public security of City H. This man has a firm hand and calms the situation in City H shortly after he comes here. If you cause too many problems, I don’t think I can help you. He is the leader in the battle against triads and public security management in City H. I can just stand by and make some comments. “

Anton nodded and said nothing in thought. Although Chris was very interested in Anton's conditions, he was unable to do so.
