Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 307 [New Business]

After the typhoon passed.

If the biggest beneficiary is the second prince, Adrian...

Therefore, Vasini should be among the top three beneficiaries.

That night, he eliminated the biggest threat in one fell swoop: Trafford, which was under lockdown in the South District at that time, and also drove away and crippled two covetous opportunists.

Trevor and Old Man Sheewen.

Now the South District belongs to him again.

It's still calm.

Even though an entire elite force of the Kingdom Security Bureau disappeared in the Southern District, there was no investigation afterwards.

It's not that no one is investigating.

However, no one dared to actually delve deeper into the matter.

The Third Division is now completely defeated. The original core members of the Third Division are either dead, captured, or have escaped.

Their business has been taken over by four different places.

The southern district is now under the control of four parties.

Joseph would never let anyone touch this place.

Vasini was able to recuperate and rebuild his strength.

That night, the Martino family also suffered heavy losses, with many young people dying, all of whom Vasini had painstakingly trained.

However, as long as we persevere, there is still hope.

Moreover, after that night, the survivors had developed an extreme level of trust and devotion to Vasini, the savior of darkness.

Especially the Savior of Darkness.

In that seemingly hopeless situation, they were able to turn the tide and finally believed that God truly existed and that He was watching over them, who stood in darkness.

If you are devout, you will be saved.

This piety brought the previously loose and conflict-ridden new Martino family together like never before.

Originally, many smaller families found it difficult to accept being swallowed up by the Martino family, and many still harbored selfish motives.

But after that night, everyone came to accept the Martino family and realized that only by uniting could they have power; otherwise, they would be defeated sooner or later by Trevor and his former allies.

This is what makes Vasini most gratified.

Everything he did was not in vain.

Another thing is that he received a new divine message: God has sent new messengers to fill the manpower shortage in the Martino family.

In addition, they will bring weapons and resources.

This reminded Vasini of that night.

Those men who emerged from the strong winds.

If it's those people, then the Martino family will grow rapidly.

After leading another collective prayer in the sanctuary, Vasini looked back at those faces, his heart filled with joy.

He has not disappointed God's expectations; he has found a group of devout believers who are also serving the Lord wholeheartedly.

This is not blind faith. Every person has experienced life and death, established their faith, and swore an oath before the Lord.

I will never turn my back on the Lord, nor will I casually utter His name.

Vasini wasn't a fool; he knew very well how dangerous this kind of faith was in the kingdom, especially in the heart of the kingdom, the capital.

Once discovered, even divine messengers might not be able to protect them.

Gods are great and powerful, but they are still too weak.

If one day they become as powerful as the Sun God Cult, then their name should be able to be proclaimed under the sun.

That day may be far away, but it will surely come.

At this moment, Vasini's vision had changed from becoming a good family leader, ruling the southern region and even the capital, to becoming God's most loyal believer and creating a religion greater than the Sun God Church.

After entrusting the follow-up matters to Valenzo, Vasini went to his room, tidied his appearance, and then left the sanctuary.

He is to meet a guest today. This guest is said to be the most prominent merchant in the capital recently, from the north, and has connections with many nobles and political figures.

He also frequently hosted underground banquets, and it is said that he supplied the finest wines.

This person is here to discuss a business deal with him.

The two met in a house next to the church.

This place has been converted into an office by Vasini, who also plans to establish a company here called Martino Investment Co., Ltd.

In the past, in the family tradition, or rather the tradition of the Southern District, the Mafia did not form companies. Everyone was used to the traditional way of collecting money, relying on underground forces to earn their rightful share.

But it was precisely because of that that the Southern District's Mafia completely declined and was about to be eliminated by the times.

It's time for a change.

When Vasini arrived, the guests had already arrived as well.

This was a typical northerner, with a cold and hard face, bearing the marks of the northern winds and frosts. But it must be said that he was quite handsome, and had an indescribable air about him. No wonder it was said that he had captivated the noble ladies and young misses of the capital.

"Hello, Your Excellency Vasini, I am Palen."

Palen looked at the man in front of him.

Without hesitation, he said those words the next second.

"My Lord is above."

Vasini was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.

He instantly became alert, his hand already subconsciously manipulating Neil the Throat Slitter.

this person……

"The Godfather sent me here."

This third sentence made Vasini relax again.

"The same to you……"

“That’s right, I am also a follower of the Dark Savior.”

Palen was reciting his lines exactly as Ethan had instructed.

Although he had no idea what the Dark Savior was.

But doing what Ethan said is definitely the right thing to do.

"My Lord is above."

Vasini responded, but still seemed somewhat puzzled.

"Do you people in the North also believe in a Dark Savior?"

"I'm also a member of the Mafia."

With this connection, the negotiations between Vasini and Palen became much simpler.

Palen said he also came by divine decree and was preparing to cooperate with Vasini to open an underground brewery in the southern district.

Previously, the major families in the southern district had divided the spoils. Even in the early days of the Prohibition, everyone wanted a share, but no one was willing to submit to anyone else, and in the end, no one was able to make any significant progress.

Now that only the Martino family's voice remains, things are much easier.

Moreover, it is protected by the Kingdom Protection Bureau through official channels, and even the Prohibition Bureau cannot get in.

Vasini was also short of money; he wanted to expand his influence, and his original income was not enough.

This is a win-win deal.

And so, the two of them happily decided on the underground winery.

This is actually part of Ethan's plan.

He had already agreed to join forces with Wes, but he felt that establishing a winery in the south was too troublesome, so he decided to open one in the capital first.

They can then dump the products directly in the capital, saving on transportation costs.

After seeing Palen off, Vasini dared not think of anything else, and could only offer a sincere prayer in the direction of the sanctuary.
