Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 314 [Kingdom Club]

Lunch was arranged in the middle of the lake at the Wang Guo Academy of Fine Arts.

This lake is a unique feature of the Kingdom Academy of Fine Arts, and it is quite famous in the Kingdom because it has been featured in paintings by many artists.

In the middle of the lake is a small island with a detached building that is usually uninhabited and reserved only for the most important guests.

Clearly, Einbetz is the most important guest right now.

"So you've been staying here all this time?"

The dining table is set on the second-floor terrace, offering a great view of the entire lake.

The weather was pretty good today. The sun wasn't too strong, and it wasn't too hot. Plus, because of the lake, there was a cool, misty atmosphere.

"Yes, I have a good relationship with Sir Shonari, and he is willing to let me stay here. I also don't want to get involved in the outside turmoil."

Einbezet had clearly redone her look; while it wasn't exactly exquisite, she had regained some of her former charm.

She was drinking a glass of juice made from red berries, the bright red liquid dripping from her lips, looking rather tempting.

"So why did you come out today?"

"Because I heard from Sir Shonary that someone wanted to make things difficult for Professor Hughes."

The truth is, Einbezem's guards discovered Ethan's whereabouts and reported it to her.

Of course, if she knew for sure what Johnny had done, she would have done the same.

"Thank you."

Ethan picked up the drink on the table, which served as a substitute for alcohol.

Einbeze shook her head and then said, "Why don't you leave?"

"As you can see, my teacher is here, my friends are here, and things are not over yet, I cannot leave."

"you……"

Einbeze hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, picked up a perfectly toasted piece of bread from the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it in a huff, as if in a fit of pique.

Ethan was also hungry, so he took a piece and ate it.

After finishing her bread, Einbad asked again, "I heard you're planning to make a movie soon?"

It wasn't just hearsay; in fact, Einbeze collected newspapers about Ethan every day.

"Yes, Your Highness is also interested in movies?"

Ethan thought of a part of his publicity plan.

If Einbezes could join, that would be a huge boost.

"It's alright, tell me the story."

Einbezet seemed somewhat distracted.

Ethan then told the Godfather-like story, which incorporated the history of the Poletta family, according to the script.

Ayn Betz gradually became engrossed and listened with rapt attention.

Will you act in it?

Finally, Einbeze suddenly asked a question.

"Well...maybe."

Ethan understood what she meant.

"Does Your Highness wish to participate?"

Einbezet bit her lip and said, "I need to think about it some more."

For the rest of the time, the two of them watched the scenery on the lake, drank tea, and didn't say much.

Now that Ethan has finished his tea, it's time for him to leave.

As they were leaving, Einbezet finally spoke again: "You...are you really going to follow my second brother?"

Ethan turned around: "What?" "My second brother... wants too much. It's dangerous to follow him. Could you..."

At this point, Einbeze stopped talking and said no more.

Ethan could only nod at her and leave.

As the boat slowly sailed away from the island in the lake, Ethan looked at the buildings on the island and could vaguely sense that a pair of eyes were watching him.

Einbeze, she seems to be more on the side of the eldest prince.

It was already afternoon, and Ethan didn't linger any longer, since he had already seen Hughes and said what needed to be said.

He advised Hughes to leave the capital for a while, whether to recuperate or to lay low. If he stayed in the capital now, even with Ethan around, it was hard to say whether a mad dog like Johnny might launch another surprise attack at an unpredictable time.

Of course, Johnny probably wouldn't dare.

Hughes was still hesitating.

Mainly, he was worried about Marcel.

"Let's go to the Kingdom Club first."

After Ethan got into the car, he said to Anya.

The Kingdom Club, located in the central district, is the oldest and most aristocratic club in the kingdom, as its name suggests.

It was once a place where the kingdom's founding nobles often gathered, and later it evolved into a private club with almost no commoners among its members, but rather nobles and members of the royal family.

Ethan wasn't originally qualified to join the club, but the second prince appreciated him greatly, especially after that meeting, and gave him a lot of gifts.

Among them is a membership card for this oldest and most prestigious club.

Anya already had the map of the capital city completely in her mind, so she arrived at the club in almost the shortest amount of time.

It was afternoon, and the club wasn't crowded; most people were there for afternoon tea.

Ethan was visiting for the first time, so someone accompanied him to guide him.

He didn't go anywhere else; he had someone take him to the horse farm.

As the kingdom's oldest and most aristocratic club, the Kingdom Club naturally possesses things that ordinary clubs cannot match.

For example, in the most valuable part of the kingdom, an outdoor riding arena was actually built, where people can ride horses and play polo.

Ethan isn't very good at riding horses, let alone playing polo.

So he just rode around casually for a bit and then went back to the locker room.

He then went to a separate smoking room next door.

There was no one in the smoking room, so he lit a cigarette and burned it on the ashtray.

After a while, a person came in. This person was none other than Ethan's acquaintance, Count Jacquard.

Upon seeing Ethan, Earl Jacquard exclaimed, "Oh, look who this is! What bad luck! Why do I keep running into you everywhere I go? Ethan, how did you manage to sneak in?"

"I was invited by His Highness Adrian. Are you going to check my card?"

Ethan responded in a provocative manner.

"Really? Then show it to me!"

Count Jacquard appeared aggressive.

But in reality, he approached Ethan and said quickly in a low voice, "Do we really have to meet in such a stupid way? I hate it."

"I'm sorry, Karst, but now you have no choice but to listen to me. You do whatever I tell you to do. Besides, haven't I already given you a certain degree of freedom? How does it feel to be a count?"

"To be honest, it's not bad. It brought back memories of a long time ago." A strange smile appeared on Count Jaccard's slightly pale face.

"Getting back to the point, I need you to pick someone up for me and take him to the South District. This person is currently hiding in..."

"Just tell him that the teacher sent you."
