Chapter 57 Infighting
Anton smiled but didn't answer. Jason said, “Lewis, you will know then. In a word, will you help us?”
Lewis looked at the four people in black next to him and they were staring at him as if they could tear
him up if he said no. He said quickly, “Of course! We are fellow villagers, and I will definitely help you!
Anton, just tell me the time and address, and I will definitely invite him then.”
Anton smiled and asked, “You are not very familiar with Dickson. How can you be so confident to invite
him?”
Lewis exaggerated, “Although I am not familiar with him, we are all prominent people in the Mafia, and
he will not turn me down!”
Anton sneered in his heart. He approached Lewis and said faintly, “I hope you will not let me down...”
Lewis felt the pressure coming from Anton, and it was another tingle. He hurriedly said, “Of course! Of
course!”
Anton nodded with satisfaction, “The time and place are up to you. I think you will be more relieved in
this way!” He turned his head and gave Jason a hint, then Jason took out his black leather bag from
under the bed. He opened it and took out five stacks of hundred yuan bills and threw them to Lewis.
Seeing that he was just about to say no, Jason waved and said, “We are never stingy with those who
help. Just take the money, and we will ask you many things in the future.”
Hearing this, Lewis stood up and thanked Anton and Jason. He secretly marveled at Anton's generosity
and greedily stuffed the money into his arms. He smiled and said, “Anton, you can rest assured that I
will deliver the good news in less than three days. Then... Can I leave now?”
Anton nodded and said, “Well, just three days. I won't give you the money for nothing. I want a
satisfactory answer in three days. Well, you can leave now!”
Lewis was relieved. He bent down to Anton and turned to leave.
After he left, Jason smiled and asked, “Anton, what do you think of this person?”
“Not so good. He is like the grass on top of a wall that sway with the wind, and he is not trustworthy.
Where did you find him?”
“Well, it was my friend at home who told me that there was such a person in H City, who was well
informed and my friend gave me his phone number. I didn't expect to find him when I first came here.
Although he is the grass on top of a wall, I don't think he dares to lie in front of us. After all, he knows
who we are!”
“Hmm!” Anton said coldly, “Although this is the case, you still have to keep an eye on him. You have to
send someone watch this person. If he plans to tell others about our situation, just get rid of him
directly. Don’t leave any trouble in the future!”
“Yep! Anton, I know!” Jason nodded and agreed. He then nodded to the four people behind him. One of
the people walked out of the room without saying anything. Jason then asked, “Anton, will we do
anything to Dickson at that time?”
Anton shook his head and said, “I wanted to use tough measures at first, but now I'm afraid it doesn't
work. The situation in H City is too complicated. If we are careless, we will suffer a lot. We can only use
a gentle way first, and we can think of other ways if it doesn't work.” He thought deeply then said, “We
have to prepare for both eventualities. Jason, find someone to check Dickson's personality and his
friends and relatives. If it doesn't work, we can only be harsh.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Jason had never doubted Anton's words. He kept them in mind word for word, and he nodded again
and again.
Anton looked at his watch. It was getting late. Jason laughed and said, “Anton, it's almost evening. Why
don't you go to the hotel to have your meal?”
Anton had never been picky about eating. He shook his head and said, “Don't bother. I can go back to
the school canteen to eat. I am a college student now. How can I go to the restaurant for every meal?”
Jason smiled and sent Anton out.
Anton returned to the dormitory after eating in the canteen. The dormitory was busy, four people sitting
and two standing and the table was covered with books, melon seeds, cigarettes, and money. They
were gambling in a full swing. Ethan, who was sitting on the bed, shouted when he saw Anton come
back, “Anton, do you know ‘Tractor’? Help me! I'm fucking wane!”
Anton was stunned when he heard it. At this moment, he had a feeling that he seemed to know nothing
except intriguing people and fighting. He didn’t know anything about gambling, but he had heard people
talk about “Tractor”. Anton was embarrassed, and he said, “Ethan, I... I have no idea how to play this!”
Everyone looked at Anton as if they saw an alien. When he looked blurred, Ethan smiled and said,
“Anton, I am really impressed. You can't even play ‘Tractor’!”
Anton looked at the two standing on one side and said, “Ben and Calvin are standing there. You can
ask them to take your turn!”
“Ben refuses to gamble! Calvin pretends to be short of money and he doesn't play!” Ethan was
discontented. “Anton, come and help me to change my luck. The loss is on me!”
Anton smiled and said, “I really have no idea how to play!”
“I'll teach you by the side, come on!”
Anton had no choice but to sit in the place where Ethan let him sit. He played with them in confusion.
Maybe it was like what Ethan said, and Anton had won several times as soon as he came up, helping
Ethan to get back his money. Ethan laughed so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He just helped
Anton to peel melon seeds, and then brought a cup of water. The other three rolled their eyes with
anger.
Anton used to play poker and soon he mastered the essentials of “Tractor”. Gambling was deceptive
and no one could always win. No matter how good or bad the cards were, Anton was still smiling.
Talking about composure, these people couldn't beat him. After playing for a while, Anton could know
whether the cards in their hands were good or bad as long as he paid a little attention to each person's
expression.
Fortunately, the stake was not very high, only five yuan at most. After a while, Anton not only got back
the money for Ethan which he had lost for nearly one hundred yuan but also helped him win more than
two hundred.
Everyone thought Anton had good luck, so they got up and stopped playing. They complained that
Ethan changed people halfway, which made them lose money. Ethan was extremely excited, hugging
Anton's shoulder, and said, “Come on! Don't talk nonsense. I'll treat you for barbecue. Is it okay?”
They let go of Ethan after hearing that. They were thinking of eating a good meal to make up for their
loss.
Hearing this, Calvin shouted and laughed, “Yes! Barbecue!”
Ethan was fed up and he said loudly, “Fuck, I don’t treat people who don’t play.” He turned to Ben and
said, “Ben, I didn't target you!”
Anton didn't want to go just after dinner, but Ethan wouldn't let him and he forced Anton to go out.
When it came to those people in the dormitory, Anton couldn't show his true nature of him in the
underworld, and he didn't want to show it. He could only sigh secretly and follow them. Ben pulled
Calvin who pulled a long face and followed.
When having a barbeque, everyone felt free to ask for a pile of this and that, and wine was
indispensable. They asked the waiter for a box of beer first. Everyone didn't eat much, but they drank
two boxes of beer. It was almost twelve o'clock after dinner, and Finn took the lead in playing the
drunkard. When he saw a dustbin on the roadside, he lifted his foot and kicked it over, causing garbage
scattered all over the street, and others did the same thing one after another. Anton shook his head
secretly.
Back in the dormitory, everyone didn't sleep immediately. They were lying in bed and teasing each
other. From movies to football, from stars to the Iraq War. After a few pornographic jokes, it came to the
military. When it came to military affairs, everyone had come to the spirit, from J-7 and J-8 to Flying
Leopard, to Su-27 in Russia, and F117 in the United States. This made Anton admire these people,
and he was also interested in what they said. Following their topic, he talked about guns.
When talking about guns, everyone talked about the most common 54 pistols, and there were mixed
reviews. Gary said, “The movement of 54 pistol is nice; the performance is relatively safe, but the
number of bullets is too small only eight bullets!”
Finn said, “Come on, the 54 pistol is rubbish at all, with a range of 50 meters only!” When Finn was in
M. City, he worked as a soldier for one year through family relations. When he first went there, he
owned two bars. His father was a regiment-level cadre in the army.
Gary complained and said, “Fuck, if you want a long-range, use a rifle. The 95 Rifle can easily shoot
down black bears from 300 meters away!”
Anton smiled and lay in bed listening to everyone's discussion, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
Two days later, he received a phone call from Jason at noon. “Anton, Lewis had made an appointment
with Dickson!”
Anton asked happily, “How about the investigation of Dickson?” “Damn! He is a typical goat. He has at
least five concubines outside, including college students. Some too many women have an affair with
him, but it is said that this person is very afraid of his wife, and it is thanks to the support of his father-
in-law that he can have such an achievement today. However, this person still has some abilities. I
heard that he is very loyal to his friends, but he is black-hearted!”
“Oh? Who is his father-in-law?” “He's the deputy director of the H City and the second-in-command,
powerful and influential!”
Anton mused, “So Dickson is not easy to handle, and it will be very troublesome to strike him!” “Anton, I
also thought that you could find a beautiful girl to lure him to the bait. As long as we catch him, he will
comply. If it doesn't work, we can only sacrifice a female member of the Ghost Regime...” Jason didn't
go on with the following words, but the meaning was obvious.
Anton didn't speak for a long time. After that, he said, “I'm thinking about it and trying to find the best
way. Ask this person out first, and I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person he is before
making decisions!”
“Well, Lewis set the location at Fei Teng Restaurant, and it's tomorrow noon. Anton, I will pick you up
then!”
“Okay!” Anton nodded and hung up the phone. He thought that Dickson was really troublesome. The
deputy director was Dickson’s father-in-law, but Anton had no backing. How could he make him
comply? Asking Chris for help? He was afraid it wouldn't work. Although he had given Chris a lot of
benefits, he had never seen him, and he had no idea. He was afraid that it was not easy to find a
woman to lure Dickson to the bait. Dickson had been in the Mafia for so many years and he was not a
fool.
