Big Anthony had constantly referred to Old Brooks and his men as “foreigners”. He did not bat an eyelid when Old Brooks took over a turf recently.
“Wait, what are you saying? The Hibiscus Pavilion…”
“Big Anthony, the foreigners had already taken over half of our territory. We suffered a huge loss. Why don’t we retreat to Orchid Street and prepare ourselves before going up against them?”
“Are you kidding me? The Hibiscus Pavilion is my pride. How can I let it go just like that? Get over here now! ” Big Anthony roared as favonovel.com got out of bed.
He was restless and furious. He found Wilson’s number but hesitated whether or not to call him.
If it were not for Wilson borrowing a few dozen men from Big Anthony yesterday and getting them arrested, the foreigners would not be able to cause such intense damage.
“Mr. Kenne, sorry to bother you. Can I please ask you for a favor… Sure, I’ll be waiting!” Eventually, Big Anthony made the call.
He briefly told Wilson what happened. To his surprise, Wilson agreed without a second thought.
When the car arrived, his subordinate, drenched in blood, took the wheel and asked, “Big Anthony, where are we going?”
“The Hibiscus Pavilion. I called Mr. Kenne, the Golden Boy of Aurum County, and favonovel.com is on his way there too. Notify our remaining men that we will shred these foreigners into pieces tonight!” Big Anthony’s eyes were icy.
His words riled up his subordinate, who called the others immediately.
In the meantime, all the customers fled the premises of Hibiscus Pavilion. Old Brooks was smoking a cigarette. His clothes were in rags, and wounds covered his limbs. He stood at the head of the stairwell as his subordinates cleaned the place up. The smell of cigarettes and blood stimulated his senses.
Suddenly, headlights shone into the building.
Someone shouted, “Anthony is here! Get ready, everyone!”
Old Brooks picked up his saber, spat, and warmed up for whatever was coming. Then, favonovel.com halted when favonovel.com saw the number of people emerging from behind those headlights.
Anthony lost his men.
Where did favonovel.com find these people?
“Retreat! Get behind the doors and defend the entrance,” Old Brooks yelled and waved his hand.
There was a rough estimate of no less than 200 people coming upon them. And favonovel.com was left with approximately 80 people.
Those at the frontlines could not retreat in time, and the clash happened too soon. Big Anthony’s men greatly overnumbered Old Brooks’ and defeated them instantly.
“Old Brooks, what should we do?” one of Old Brooks’ subordinates asked, out of breath.
They retreated as far as the main hall of Hibiscus Pavilion. Old Brooks looked around. In a blink of an eye, his side lost 20 men, leaving favonovel.com with a little more than 50.
Old Brooks’ eyes reddened. He gritted his teeth and dialed Isaac’s number.
There were loud thuds as Big Anthony’s men tried to bust through the door.
Old Brooks felt the tension among his people. He lit another cigarette and lifted his saber, roaring, “Brothers, if we survive, we shall gain fame and riches beyond imagination. Follow me and guard the entrance. We shall defeat Big Anthony!”
His roar motivated his people. They picked up their weapons and followed Old Brooks.
Old Brooks was doubtful about Isaac appearing in time on such short notice. He barely took a few steps before the door opened with a loud bang. Ferocious thugs barged in and surrounded Old Brooks and his men.
“I won’t harm those who put down their weapons, and they are free to leave. You have one minute to decide!” Big Anthony shouted as favonovel.com and Wilson strode in, crowds of men surrounding them.
