Chapter 59 Attacked
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 Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
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.
Anton knew what Chris was talking about. He heard about that person from Lewis. If he remembered
correctly, his name was Richard. He was extremely opposed to the underworld and was placed under
the Central Committee. This was difficult for him. If he didn’t do anything to him, it was hard for him to
grow. If he did, it meant he had to defy the central authority. How could he do that!? He didn't have
such bravery for now.
Seeing Anton lowered his head and was quiet, Chris thought about the price given by Anton, and that
was not bad! He replied, “Anton, I can't help you much, but I can still do some little favors. As long as
you don't make too much noise in City H, like what you did in City J, I can still cover it for you. After all,
the leader of the city bureau is me!”
After hearing this, Anton was somewhat relieved, and he grinned, “Secretary Chris, I believe we will
have more chances to collaborate in the future, and we need your assistance! You will not be left out of
the benefits either!”
“Oh! What is the meaning of this, benefit or something? I don't care about these things. I just want to be
a friend of yours!”
“Yes! Please forgive me, Secretary Chris!” “Oh, don't call me Secretary Chris from now on. I'm older
than you, just call me Chris!”
Anton smiled and replied, “Well, I shall call you Chris from now on. If you need assistance with
anything, just tell me, and I will use my method to help you 'solve it'!”
These words made Chris very happy. He patted Anton on the shoulder and said, “Young people are
aggressive, and the future world belongs to your generation!”
“Chris, it’s so nice of you!” “Well...”
The two talked for a long time. On the surface, they were extremely close, but they both had ghosts in
their hearts, trying to extract more advantages from each other. After a while, Chris got up and bid
farewell. After all, there were still meetings waiting for him. Anton didn't compel him to remain and sent
Chris out of the room with a few goodbyes.
After he departed, Anton appeared to have waged a tremendous fight, resting tiredly on the couch, his
shirt drenched with sweat. Wendy poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table without
making any noise.
Jason went to Anton and whispered, “Boss Williams, Chris...”
Anton lifted his hand to stop him and replied indifferently, “Don't say anything, I know! Let me think
about the conversation.” Jason nodded, smiled at the other two guys, and the three of them left the
room. Wendy remained and gently massaged his shoulder. Anton was startled at first. He did not say
anything, and pleasantly enjoyed Wendy's massage.
Slowly, the sensation of weariness extended throughout Anton's entire body, and he closed his eyes
and fell asleep. But his head was whirling rapidly, and he didn’t want to give up Chris. After all, he was
the secretary of a province, and he had actual authority, which would still help him a lot. But Richard
was very hard to manage, and neither money nor force was suitable for him. The important issue was
that he didn't know what vulnerabilities he had. It appeared that Jason needed to hunt up this guy and
taking him down was a requirement for his own growth.
Anton sighed quietly. His tiredness swept over, and he got up and said to Wendy, “It's getting late. I
have to go back to school.”
Wendy replied, “Boss Williams, why don't you rest here tonight? I believe you are weary too. Stay for
the night and go back to school tomorrow morning!”
“No, let Jason stay here! Don't waste the money.Jason has already paid for the room!” As he stated,
Anton stepped out. Jason and others were still waiting at the entrance. Jason said, “Boss Williams, do
you have a plan?”
“Yep. Help me find this guy named Richard, especially his weakness. I don't want someone to obstruct
my path, even though he is the king of heaven. If he truly has no flaws, find a way to get rid of him!”
Anton's eyes blazed coldly.
Although Jason was a bit shocked by Anton's choice, he was delighted. He would never feel lonely with
Anton now. He was full of enthusiasm at any moment. He nodded and added, “Don't worry, Boss
Williams. I will go to find out!”
Anton replied, “Well, I'm back to school. You don't need to send me there, stay here!” Jason nodded.
Wendy tried to follow but was stopped by Anton. The first reason was that Wendy did not have a place
to stay at H. University, Secondly, he wanted to walk by himself.
Before returning to school, Anton had a bath and felt much more comfortable. When he returned to
school, it was nearly half-past ten. Since Anton's dormitory was on the east side of the campus, he
went via the tiny east entrance. The lights were switched off at 10,30, so there were not so many
people on the road at this hour, yet beneath the bright streetlights, the vehicles rushed past with a roar.
Anton bent his head in thought and walked on the sidewalk alongside the avenue and did not see the
two vans parked not far from the side door. When he went over, the doors of the vans suddenly
opened, and more than a dozen people jumped out of each vehicle, rushing toward Anton with knives.
After hearing a sound when the vehicle doors were opened, Anton sensed something. He quickly
turned around and saw that the two vehicles were packed with more than 30 people, all carrying
knives. Knowing that they weren't going to “welcome” him, he was somewhat shocked and took the
only logical choice to run.
Those people had waited for Anton for a long time. When the prey finally arrived, they couldn't let up
and pursued after him.
Anton had done the exercise of running to school in the high school and finally could utilize his skills,
and he raced ahead fast. He was nearly at the side entrance, but many people rushed out from behind
the walls on both sides of the side door, carrying knives to block Anton's path.
The side entrance was initially extremely small, and it was hardly feasible for the two people to pass
side by side, but at this time no fewer than five people stood here. Even if these guys were beaten, the
others would come early. Anton did not dare to go there. He passed the side door and continued to
sprint ahead. He stated in his heart that no matter who they were, it appeared like they had been
planned. Someone in the hostel must have revealed his location. Thinking about this, Anton cursed
quietly. He didn't want to be harsh with anybody in the dormitory. The six of them were not in the mafia,
but the person who betrayed him would never end well. Of course, he needed to escape from this first.
Anton raced very quickly, and the people behind eventually couldn't keep up, but two vehicles followed
closely after him.
The further Anton ran, the angrier he became. He was the head of an area, and when was he followed
by someone like this? And he couldn't get away. If those people got in the vehicle and chased after
him, he would be exhausted. After thinking about it, he stopped suddenly, turned to look at the person
following him, and said loudly, “Where are you all from? There must be a reason to kill me!”
