Chapter 56 Troubled Times
Chapter 56 Troubled Times
Anton patted his head and said, “I don't think so. I will be at school all day. Can she follow me? I think it
will cause unnecessary trouble.”
Jason smiled and said, “It doesn't matter. I'll make her a student here in a minute. If she is in the same
class as you, it won't cause any trouble! Besides, I have the responsibility to protect your safety! If
something happens to you, we...”
It was the same old way again! When Anton saw Jason acting that way, he didn't bother to be wordy,
and he said, “It's up to you!” He turned around and went back to the classroom.
The girl looked at Anton's back and said pitifully, “Seems like I am not welcome by Boss Anton!”
Jason said with a smile, “When your predecessor, Zara, was a bodyguard of Anton, he was also like
this!”
“Zara...?” The girl murmured the word, and her eyes were shining with envy. Her name was Wendy,
and she was nineteen years old. She was carefully selected by Jason from the Ghost Regime. She had
a cute appearance, but if she really got to work, her skill might not be worse than Zara. Wendy
disguised her blood-devouring nature with her lovely appearance. People in the Ghost Regime knew
her nature and usually called her “Mosquito”.
After school, most people in Anton's dormitory went out to play with the female classmates they just
met yesterday. Only Anton and Ben went back to the dormitory. Ben laughed and asked, “Anton, I think
that Bobbi was very interested in you yesterday. Why don't you go to find her?”
Hearing this, Anton unconsciously remembered Dolores and her sister who were far away in DL. He
didn't know when he could meet them again in the future. His heart was full of nostalgia and he said
casually, “I have a girlfriend.”
Ben remembered the lovely girl who was looking for Anton when they were having a class just now,
and he nodded in understanding.
On the afternoon of the third day, Anton received a phone call from Jason. “Anton, I am in Xuefu Hotel
now. The investigation is almost done, and I have found a person, which may be useful to us!”
“Good! Wait for me at the entrance, I'll be right there!” Xuefu Hotel was owned by H. University, and its
location was set up next to the college.
After Anton arrived, Jason led him to a standard double room on the fourth floor. Inside sat four Ghost
Regime members and a stranger who was less than thirty years old. Seeing Anton come in, they got up
one after another. Jason pointed to the man and said, “Anton, this is Lewis and he is from J City, our
fellow villager. He has been in H City for five or six years and has a better understanding of the
situation here.” Then he said to the man, “Lewis, this is the boss of the Anton Brotherhood, Boss
Williams!”
Anton shook hands with Lewis. Lewis said preemptively, “Boss Williams, in recent years, when I went
home, all the news I heard was about you. I didn't expect to meet you in H City. It's really my honor!”
“Well!” Anton looked at this person. He was not tall, with a ferret face. His eyes flashed when he spoke.
Anton's first impression of Lewis was that he was not trustworthy, but Jason should have his reason.
He smiled and said, “Lewis, you are too polite, and I am nothing in J City. Can I ask how you’ve been
doing in H City in recent years?”
Lewis smiled and said, “Boss Williams is too modest. Everyone in Mafia of J City knows your name,
Anton. Although I haven't made any achievements in H.City in recent years, I definitely know a lot of
people. And I know about big or small issues in the Mafia. Ha!”
Anton understood the purpose of Jason approaching him. It turned out that this person was Jack of all
trades, and unnecessary trouble could be avoided through him. He nodded and said, “Lewis, my
brother, tell me the general situation of the Mafia in H City first! But I hope you won't talk to others that
you saw me today. Otherwise I will be very unhappy. I believe you also know how I do things, right?”
Looking at Anton's gradually cold eyes, Lewis shook with fear and hurriedly said, “Anton, you can rest
assured that I will not say anything about what had happened today.”
Anton said, “Well, you can talk about it now. Of course, I won't let you say it for nothing.”
“Yes, I know! I know!” Lewis didn't dare to underestimate this young man. The collapse of the Big Three
in J City was directly related to this person. He said cautiously, “It was Uncle Joshua who used to
dominate the whole H City. At that time, Uncle Joshua was really prestigious. No matter the leaders of
the city or the province, or the Mafia, everyone had to extend greetings to uncle Joshua'! When guys
from other provinces came to H City, they would pay a visit to Uncle Joshua first. At that time...”
“Cough!” Jason saw that he was nagging endlessly so he coughed to warn him. Lewis immediately
reacted to it. He nodded with a smile and said, “Ah, Anton, look at me. You always mention old
things...”
Anton waved to indicate that it was okay, and let Lewis continue. There was no mafia in H City that
didn't know Uncle Joshua. Anton was no exception, and he often listened to Carl and others talking
about him.
Lewis went on to say, “Since the death of Uncle Joshua, the Mafia in H City had been in chaos for a
while. The gangs have no restrictions, and they are constantly fighting. Foreign gangs also took the
opportunity to sneak in quietly. At that time, the leaders of the province were more or less connected
with the gangs, and they could not control the chaotic situation in H City at all. Since Uncle Joshua's
death was directly related to the central government, special commissioners were sent to assist the
provincial management, to control the situation. In fact, it was only superficial, and there are disputes
from time to time. Up to now, the disputes have gradually decreased, and each gang had its
stronghold. The friction between gangs is generally resolved through negotiation. This is mainly
because Richard, deputy director of the provincial police department, is now attending garrison duty in
H City. He is dispatched by the central government, and his bones are very hard. When he sees the
underworld, his eyes will turn green. I don't know if his mother has been raped by the underworld.”
Mentioning Richard, Lewis gritted his teeth, and it seemed that he also suffered losses because of
Richard. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After listening to it, Anton had a general understanding of the situation of H City. As for the deputy
director of the provincial police department mentioned by Lewis, it was more troublesome. It seemed
that he belonged to the same type of person as Mr. Baker, who was forced to leave by him. They were
not easy to handle.
Anton asked, “Lewis, what gangs are there now, and what foreign gangs are there?” Anton thought that
if he remembered correctly, the Tiger Gang should be here. Well, old friend!
Lewis thought for a moment and said, “There are no big gangs, but there are many medium gangs, and
it is complicated. Their strengths is almost the same. Foreign gangs... Of course, the Tiger Gang ranks
first, being supported by Tomahawk, one of the top three gangs in Russia, which is of course extremely
powerful. The second is probably the Soul Reaper Gang, it...”
Anton interrupted and asked, “What is Tomahawk?” Anton heard this name for the first time.
Lewis explained, “Tomahawk is the name of a gang, and its strength is quite big. Especially in Europe.
It is also a famous big gang. Although its power is not as strong as the Black Hand Gang, ordinary
gangs can't provoke them. Tomahawks mainly rely on smuggling arms and ammunition for a living.
Tiger Gang is its branch in China, hoping to open up this big market in China. But I think Russians are
all wooden heads, so there is nothing to be afraid of! “
“OK!” Anton had a headache. Lewis continued, “The Soul Reaper Gang... The Mafia rumored that it is
supported by the Japanese Soul Reaper Gang. Who knows if it is true or false? But the Soul Reaper
Gang is really rich. Its territory is not extensive, but there are many people in the gang, and it is
conservative to say that there are thousands of people. It is quite a big expense with so many people!
Its members are mainly middle school students, which is something similar to you, Anton! As for
whether there are other foreign gangs, I don't know about it. I heard from my friends that there are
Korean gangs. “
Anton was secretly astounded. Although he was prepared, the situation in H City still made him have a
headache. The local gangs were complicated enough, and foreign forces were mixed among them. He
was likely to end up in a fiasco if he took the wrong step. Putting this annoyance aside, he took a
breath and asked, “Lewis, do you know who covers the New Youth Disco on the north side of H.
University?”
“Oh, the New Youth! I know it. The boss is Dickson, with a big beard and he is good at fighting! He is
not a simple person, and he is the head of a famous gangster in that area. Anton, are you gonna do
something?”
Anton stared at Lewis and said, “I have a plan. Do you think there will be any difficulties?”
Under Anton's gaze, Lewis was a little unnatural. He was scratching his head, and he looked uncertain.
He said, “Anton, Dickson is not simple. He owned two discos and a bar in H City, and he knows
someone in the city bureau. Moreover, he has many friends in the Mafia. Although he has not set up a
gang, there are dozens of thugs below. You may suffer a loss if you are not well prepared.”
Anton asked, “Do you know Dickson?”
“I’m not close to him, but I have met him several times and we just greet each other.” Lewis had been in
the Mafia for more than ten years and had a rich experience. He wondered and asked, “Are you saying
that you want to meet him?”
Anton bowed his head and thought deeply for a while. He nodded and said, “Well! Yes. Can you ask
him out?”
Although Lewis was far away in H City, he knew a lot about J City. He was quite clear about Anton's
personality. It was not too much to describe him as a cruel person. Since he had a plan for New Youth,
it was definitely not a good thing to ask Dickson out! Lewis said, “Anton, it's not that I don’t want to help
you. If something happens to Dickson, how can I make a living among the Mafia being the
middleman?”
Jason snorted and said coldly, “So you are not going to help Anton?” Four Ghost Regime members in
the room put their hands in their arms one after another.
Lewis was frightened and the sweat on his head slipped off. He hurriedly said, “No, no, no, I didn't
mean it. I just said...”
Anton stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, “You just call Dickson out. You can rest
assured that I won't do anything to him, and I won't make it difficult for you. I just want to negotiate a
deal with him!”
Lewis couldn't turn his brain. He asked, “What business?”
