Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 7

“How dare you talk to me like that.” The teacher felt that his dignity was challenged, exasperated, and shouted, his hands still waving in the air.

Anton looked at the angry middle-aged man in front of him. He felt restless. Anton pointed at him, “You are nobody to me! You'd better not mess with me, otherwise, you will regret.” After that, he sat in his seat.

“You.” The teacher wanted to say something, but at the sight of Anton's furious look, he said nothing in the end. He didn't want to admit that he was intimidated by a new student, but his shivering legs betrayed him.

He remembered Anton's name in his heart, and then continued to call students’ names. Jasper looked back and asked Anton, “Anton, we just put up with it?” Anton squinted, “There will be more opportunities to take revenge later.” Then he was prepared to sleep on the table.

Over the several days, for some reason Anton felt like he had slept so much recently. He used to wake up at 4:30, and now he didn’t want to get up until 6:00. If others interrupted his sleep, he would be fretful.

After finishing calling names, the teacher elected class cadres. Of course, although Anton's grades made him the best one here, he left a bad impression on the teacher, so he wasn’t elected. But the teacher did not know that Anton was very satisfied with the result. At last, the cadres were asked to fetch the new books. After the new books were distributed, the teacher said, “Now you are dismissed, remember to come to school tomorrow at seven. We will begin our class at eight. Everyone should be punctual.” After saying that, he went out of the classroom, considering how to find fault with Anton.

Anton and Jasper walked out of the classroom, and their fellows in the same class also followed. There were some people in the hallway, all wearing uniforms of N0.1 High School. Seeing Anton and Jasper, a student whose face was swollen pointed at them, and said to the person next to him, “Carroll, it was them.”

Anton gazed at him, and it turned out he was the person who was hit hard by Jasper called Steve in the morning. Anton was a little surprised that he could still walk after such a hard hitting, which showed his tenacity. Jasper also recognized him, “What now?”

The student who was called Carroll came over and looked at Jasper, “Bro, you are new here. But the first thing you do is to hit one of my fellows. I can't do anything about this.” This man called Carroll had a height of above meter eighty and looked really strong.

“So what do you want? “Jasper didn’t dare to look down on Carroll because he didn’t know whether he could win or not in the battle against him.

Carroll nodded, “Meet me in the woods behind the playground and we will find a solution.” After that, he turned around and left. Steve limped behind him turned to Jasper as he walked, “You'd better get the stretcher ready. Whoever is a loser if he doesn’t dare to come.”

“Fuck you. You are so arrogant just because there are several people supporting you. I will teach you a lesson later. “

At this time Bruce also came, and he asked Anton, “Anton, what happened?”

Anton did not speak yet, and Jasper answered, “The two persons who were hit by us in the shed this morning had come, and they asked us to go to the small woods behind the playground to solve the problem.”

Hearing this, Bruce rubbed his hands and said, “Anton, we haven't done a big job for a long time. Now it is a great opportunity.”

Anton nodded. It seemed that it was impossible not to be involved in the battle if he wanted to find his feet there. After all, this was No.1 High School, which was like a concentration camp for bad teenagers. “Bruce, go and get all our men. I have a plan.” Bruce immediately put into action.

The small woods were not large. It was behind the playground, and there was rubbish everywhere. School leaders wouldn’t come to such a place at all. It was a gathering place for school bums. It was an area where students battled. The dried blood on the ground still loomed.

Anton and Jasper walked into the woods, and there were more than a dozen fellows behind them. Carroll leading a group of people waited there, holding weapons in their hands. The two sides came to the middle of the woods and looked at each other. Anton looked at Carroll and spoke first, “What’s your position in our school?”

Carroll smiled, “Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that.”

Jasper gave Anton a cigarette and said, “This is Anton, our boss.”

Carroll looked at Anton, “I don’t know who you are and I don't care where you are from. The boss of No.1 High School is Boss White. Since you come here, you have to obey our rules. If you want to be the boss here, you have to prove your own ability. Today let’s talk about the thing that you hit my man.”

Jasper lit his cigarette and said, “I don't know who Boss White is.” Anton stopped Jasper and said, “We did hit him. What do you want? It is our own business to find our feet here. You shouldn’t interfere.”

Carroll, “OK, you have guts. Let's say what are you going to do to compensate us? “

Jasper said, “Fuck you, who do you think you are? You are so arrogant.”

Carroll snickered, “Fat pig. You are so complacent, but later I'll teach you a good lesson.”

Jasper untied his coat and raised his sleeves, “Come on. I’d like to see how you teach me a lesson.”

Knowing that a fight was inevitable, Anton stared at Carroll and said, “A conflict cannot be avoidable. I wanted to avoid, but today you made me have no choice.” After speaking, without a hint of warning, he raised his leg and banged his knee hard on Carroll's belly. Carroll did not think he would so soon start, so he was hit hard, bending because of the pain. Anton pressed Carroll's head, and then padded his face with his knee.

Carroll was also experienced in fighting. He quickly reacted, using his arm to prevent Anton's attack. Seeing that his knee was not working, Anton swung his elbow against Carroll’s back. Human elbows were the hardest parts of the body. Anton used all his strength to attack Carroll. Carroll couldn’t stand because he felt the immense pain of his back, falling to the ground. Carroll’s complacence led to his failure. He was hit to the ground before he could fight back. Anton knew that he should not treat the enemy with mercy, so he tried his best to attack. Now he was like a beast and regarded Carroll as an animal. He hit Carroll’s head to the ground, causing the latter to bleed and blurry.

Jasper was embarrassed to take the handkerchief and wiped his face. But he murmured in his heart, “Your face is not much cleaner than me. “

Anton said to those who had just said they would follow him, “I know you were forced, but since you have followed me, I will treat you as my own men. Also, I hope you will not do anything sorry to me, otherwise you will know the consequences. You know exactly what I mean. Now I give you another chance to make a choice. I welcome those who choose to stay, and those who are unwilling to stay can leave now.”

Some of these men were conquered by Anton's resolution, and some were indeed forced to do so. Hearing Anton’s words, they were in a dilemma. Seeing this, Anton said loudly, “Follow me and I will protect you. I will punish those who dare to bully you no matter who he is. What I did today is a remarkable example. I give you my promise.”

Hearing this, these people bowed to Anton at the same time without any hesitation, “I would like to follow you. If I betray you, then I will be punished by god.”

Anton smiled and said to his old followers, “Remember that these people will be our own men from now on. You should take care of each other.” Fate was so hard to be predicted. Those enemies now became their own men just because of Anton.

One of them said to Anton, “Anton, I think you are really capable, but Boss White is not an ordinary person. You just beat her men and this problem cannot be solved easily.”

Anton looked at the man and asked, “What's your name?” “Anton, my name is Albert. I'm from Class 2, Senior Grade 2.”

Anton nodded and asked him, “Can you tell me some basic conditions about our school?”

Albert thought about it and said, “Our school had two powers before you came. One was led by Boss White, and the other was Black Dragon Gang led by Vincent.” Anton interrupted him and asked, “Who is Vincent? What is Black Dragon Gang?”

Albert said, “Vincent is a senior student. He was also the first person who established his power. Many of the students in senior grade 3 are his people. But soon after, Boss White came with some of the villains in the neighborhood, and soon established her own power. The two sides fought for countless times, and the most serious one was a battle that more two hundred students were involved in, causing three deaths and many injuries.”

“Why did the school do nothing? “Anton said.

Albert said, “The school will not do anything. The principal said that these students were scum of society and didn’t deserve to be alive.”

Jasper asked loudly, “Causing deaths is not a trivial matter. Shouldn’t the principal resign even if not sentenced?”
