Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 269 [The Long Journey]

How did Ainbezez end up in the trunk?
It's so weird.

Ethan hadn't noticed when she put the things away. When did she go in?

"parking."

Johnny Blackbird immediately gave the order and then looked at the trunk.

Ethan thought for a moment, but didn't do anything extra, and pulled over to the side of the road.

There weren't many people around here, making it a relatively quiet road.

Johnny Blackbird got out of the car, walked slowly to the trunk, and then, as if knocking on a door, gently knocked three times on the trunk, saying, "Knock knock knock, is anyone home?"

"Please let me out, kind sir! I'm suffocating!"

Although it was through the trunk, Einbezet spoke only ordinary words, yet they inexplicably took on a seductive quality once again.

Johnny Blackbird seemed to have intended to tease Einbezz, but instead opened the trunk door.

"Dear Miss, it was my mistake and my fault to keep such a beautiful and charming person like you in the trunk for so long. Please allow me to express my sincerest apologies."

After Johnny Blackbird clearly saw the person in the trunk, he became even more gentlemanly, bowing slightly and extending a hand as if to help the princess off the carriage.

"Thank you, Mr. Blackbird Johnny."

Einbeze emerged gracefully from the trunk, without the slightest hint of dishevelment, looking exactly like she had stepped out of a carriage.

This situation is even more absurd than absurd itself.

Inside a kidnapped vehicle controlled by ruthless thugs, a woman emerged from the trunk, supported by one of the thugs.

"May I ask how Your Highness got in?"

Johnny Blackbird was utterly baffled by this.

Ethan too.

At the same time, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had originally thought that Johnny Blackbird intended to use violence to control Einbeze, in which case he would have to take action.

In any case, Einbezet had treated him well, and he couldn't bear to see the princess get hurt in front of him.

It seems that Johnny Blackbird is quite chivalrous; he rushed to get out of the car just now, as if he was afraid of hurting Einbeze.

"You can't tell, Mr. Blackbird Johnny, this is the girl's secret."

Ayn Betz smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with a captivating charm that was truly irresistible.

"Then, may I ask what brings you here?"

Johnny Blackbird continued.

Release Ethan.

Einbetz glanced into the car, as if checking on Ethan's condition.

“No problem, I will definitely let him go. After all, I am only after money. However, Mr. Ethan will have to pay a small price.”

Johnny Blackbird sounds very approachable.

"Name your price."

Einbez spoke directly.

"No, no, Your Highness, you misunderstand. I am not extorting you. I never take ill-gotten gains."

Johnny Blackbird appears to be very principled.

"Am I mistaken? But I seem to have heard news about you robbing banks all the time. You are the most famous thief recently."

Einbezee stared at Johnny Blackbird.

Johnny Blackbird smiled with a hint of annoyance, then released Einbeze's hand, shrugged, and said, "People always have too many misunderstandings about me."

Is it really a misunderstanding?

"Of course, I have never committed a crime. I simply took money from the bank that did not belong to those people and distributed it to those who needed it."

Johnny Blackbird emphasized the righteousness of his actions.

“So, I won’t take your money. You’re a good person, Your Highness.” “Ethan is a good person too.”

Einbetz seized the opportunity to speak.

"Yes, Ethan is a good person too, so let him be a good person to the end."

These words left Einbeze speechless for a moment.

Johnny Blackbird continued, "I watched the whole thing today. They must have made at least fifty million gold Ryan, right? Just bring out all of that money."

“Some things don’t belong to Ethan, and Ethan originally intended to donate a portion of them to those in need, so you don’t need to do that.”

"Thirty percent? That's too little, I need it all."

Johnny Blackbird was very firm on this issue.

"Does it have to be this way?"

Einbez sighed.

"Your Highness, how about this, would you like to come with me to a place? You are a good person, perhaps after you see this, you will understand why I did this."

After saying that, Johnny Blackbird gestured for her to enter and opened the door for her.

Einbezee got into the car.

Just as Johnny Blackbird was about to get into the car, she suddenly said, "I can go too. You drive, and let Ethan sit in the back."

Johnny Blackbird paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something, nodded, and smiled strangely: "Of course, no problem, I'd be happy to serve you, my lord."

Ethan was naturally happy not to drive, so he sat in the back seat next to Eindbetz.

"Your Highness..."

Johnny Blackbird got into the driver's seat and wanted to say something.

Einbeze placed her slender finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.

Johnny Blackbird shut up.

He started the car, thoughtfully turned on the car radio, turned down the volume, found a station playing soothing music, and then drove off.

At that moment, Einbeze wished the journey would never end.

----------

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere of the three people in the car, Vasini was facing a life-or-death situation.

He ultimately couldn't dodge the shot.

He was hit by that shot.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he still managed to block the shot with Neil the Throat Slitter.

Meanwhile, Valenzo, who had launched an attack from outside, helped him stall the situation somewhat.

Because young Trevor suddenly revealed a playful smile and said, "Interesting, is there an ambush?"

He raised the revolver in his hand again, but the sense of oppression was not as strong as before.

Vasini quickly swallowed a drug provided by Karst, and the feeling of being pierced by the ultimate death intent even after blocking the bullet seemed to have lessened considerably.

But the crisis still exists.

Young Trevor's power far exceeded his expectations, and most importantly, God was nowhere to be found.

He prayed again, and this time there was no backlash like before.

But there was no response. Had the great Savior of Darkness truly abandoned them?

This crisis of faith is even more severe.

However, Vasini had also experienced life and death, and his faith was even more unwavering as he watched Trevor raise his gun once again.

He thought: Then I'll die here; God will surely bring down the punishment I deserve.
