Chapter 638: Chapter 645 Authority

Anton naturally couldn’t just walk away, he needed to tidy up traces, mainly to falsify the crime scene.

So after Hans had waited in the car outside for over ten minutes, Anton finally came out of the house.

Hans drove his own car, while Anton drove Norbert’s car, and with Norbert in tow, went straight back to their hideout.

Now, it was Yang Yi’s turn to be surprised.

"So fast, how could it possibly be this fast?"

Yang Yi was certainly astonished because Anton and Hans left in the evening and returned before midnight, even bringing Norbert with them.

But seeing Norbert’s terrified and dumbstruck appearance, Yang Yi figured that something had deviated from what he had expected.

Indeed, after watching Anton throw the frightened Norbert to the ground, Yang Yi placed his hand on his forehead and sighed, "Fuck! You obviously used force, otherwise how could it be so quick!"

Anton’s expression was one of complete indifference, "You only gave me three days, how else could I have done it without coercion? Was I supposed to make friends with him first, then move him to join us? Come on, please consider those of us who actually get things done."

Yang Yi took a breath, then looking at Norbert collapsed on the floor, he said, "Fuck, look what you’ve scared him into? Even if you beat him up, it shouldn’t be like this. What have you done?"

Hans just shrugged, Anton scratched his head with an indifferent look, but Norbert, trembling, said, "Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me."

Yang Yi, surprised, said, "You killed someone?"

Anton spread his hands, "His girlfriend and her boyfriend, er, don’t look at me with such shock. It just so happened to be a good opportunity, one that we couldn’t miss."

Yang Yi stood up, "Fuck! Even if you framed him for drug trafficking, why kill someone?"

Anton sighed, "Please, you can’t... can’t act as if you’ve never killed anyone, okay? Was I supposed to leave a woman who saw me alive? You’ve got to be kidding."

Yang Yi drew in a deep breath, "That wasn’t the plan, of course we can’t leave a living witness who had seen you, but you weren’t supposed to be discovered at all, so you went there with the intention to kill from the start!"

Anton simply spread his hands and said nothing.

Yang Yi was very angry.

"This is not right, first of all, you cannot kill the innocent, we’re not an organization that kills at will. There must be a line, I wouldn’t hesitate in a pinch, but we can’t go out of our way to hurt the innocent, what does that make us? Terrorists?"

Anton’s expression remained unconcerned, while Yang Yi grew even more furious. Then he shouted, "Most importantly! I can give you a great deal of autonomy, but! I am the boss! If you decide to do something against my wishes, you should at least seek my approval before you act, not inform me, not just tell me after it’s all done, but seek my approval, understand?"

Anton became serious, after a moment of silence, he nodded, "Understood, you’re the boss, sorry, I had no intention of challenging your authority, I was just acting on my own preferences this time, I thought it didn’t matter to you. But I truly didn’t mean to challenge your authority. I was unaware of your limits, now I understand, so next time something similar arises, I will seek your approval first."

Anton immediately chose to make a formal apology and statement.

Anton could choose to leave the Organization of Water, but as long as he was a part of it, he had to follow Yang Yi’s lead, and it was very important to make this attitude clear.

Yang Yi waved his finger, his voice grave, "There won’t be a next time."

Anton nodded, "Of course, I understand the consequences."

Yang Yi sat back down, then looked at Norbert and said, "Firstly, I’m sorry about your girlfriend, my man took matters into his own hands and killed her, and I apologize to you for that. But she’s dead, and I can’t bring her back to life."

Pointing at Anton, Yang Yi said sternly, "He was able to kill your girlfriend, and obviously, he could kill you too. Now that things have gone this far, we must proceed as necessary. So now it’s like this, you either die or do as I say, choose one."

What else could Norbert say? He could only respond weakly, "What do you want me to do?"

Yang Yi motioned to Boer, who then said with a hint of helplessness, "My turn to come into play, huh? Now let me explain, Norbert, I have high hopes for you, I plan to set up a company and make you the manager. I’ll stay behind the scenes while you’ll be out in front. Get what I mean?"

Weakly, Norbert said, "A white glove."

"Exactly, a white glove, that’s right. Good that you understand," Boer said with a look of pleasure, then he grinned, "I’ll give you a share, ten percent of the company, but only with the rights to dividends, not to join the board. Do you agree?"

Grimly, Norbert said, "I agree, actually the terms are quite generous. But first, I need to resign and face the risk of being investigated or even killed anytime, right?"

"Of course, that’s a given. If you do an excellent job, you’ll make a lot of money, and being a white glove certainly has its perks. But if you betray us, you will, of course, die. Oh, and another thing."

Boer pointed at Anton and said in a serious tone, "You’ve seen his methods, right? I have to warn you if you don’t comply, it won’t just be you dying. Believe me, to ensure deterrence, they usually kill the whole family, seriously, I’m not lying to you."

With a powerless air, Norbert said, "I don’t have a choice, what’s the use of saying all this now. There’s no need to threaten me, I... I wouldn’t dare betray."

"Good, you’re a smart man, of course, you’re a smart man. How could anyone I pick be an idiot? Ha ha."

After laughing twice, Boer turned to Yang Yi, "Excellent, everything’s settled now, what’s left is to figure out how to get Norbert out of his current trouble and smoothly resign."

Anton spoke solemnly, "I have evidence, just hand it over to the police and Norbert won’t have any trouble for sure."

Boer chuckled, "Great, that settles it then. Nothing more to say. Do you guys have anything else to discuss?"

Boer wasn’t exactly a benevolent man either, considering Norbert would be working under him, but still, Boer showed not the slightest sign of guilt, as if Norbert’s current predicament had nothing to do with him.

Yang Yi gestured with his hand, addressing Anton, "Take him away, you know what to do. Just make sure he never dares betray us in the future, it’s come to this, so it has to be done."

Since they couldn’t win Norbert over gently anymore, they might as well have Anton thoroughly terrify him. After sending Anton off to finish the job, Yang Yi turned to Boer, "You just mentioned setting up a company, so now we need to talk about the shares. Let’s start."
