Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 315 [Vassini's Ambition]

Count Gacard, of course, is no longer the real Count Gacard.

That unfortunate fellow had already died the night the typhoon hit.

The Earl of Jacques, who is still standing on the earth, is none other than Karst.

Karst possesses near-immortality, and he also has the ability to reshape his own body.

His originally perfect body was something he created himself.

Therefore, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to reshape a body similar to that of Count Jaccard.

Ethan gave him freedom, but not complete freedom.

Relatively free.

He could finally leave the house that had imprisoned him, which was a reward for his hard work that night.

Of course, this is also a new move by Ethan.

Although Earl Jaccard has a terrible reputation, he is of noble blood and still holds considerable influence in the capital, enabling him to do many things that Ethan cannot.

Of course, this was just a side trip.

Hughes hid Marcel away, but that wasn't a long-term solution.

Hughes is just a university professor. Even if he has influence in the art world, he can't really do anything about this kind of thing. Sooner or later, something bad will happen.

Johnny's actions today serve as a warning.

If he can come to the school to find Hughes, he might not be unable to find Marcel.

Ethan could only help with the transfer.

Moreover, Marcel has Moorma's people behind him, who may also be a pawn that can be used.

After a brief conversation with Karst, Ethan left the smoking room.

Their current relationship makes it inappropriate to talk too much.

However, we can gradually change things in the future.

After returning home, Ethan began revising the script.

At the same time, he began to rethink the casting for the film.

Ayn Betz is clearly interested in starring in this movie, and if she does, then there's no need to worry about its popularity.

But which role should we give her?

Ethan, pen in hand, pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Anya and said, "Anya, if... I mean if, I were to marry someone in a movie, what do you think?"

"with who?"

Anya’s tone was calm, but Ethan clearly saw her beautiful eyebrows lift slightly.

Ethan, who was already very familiar with Anya, naturally knew what this meant.

She was a little unhappy.

"Uh……"

"With that princess?"

He raised his eyebrows again.

I'm even more unhappy now.

"It's fake, in the movie. I mean, I could actually have not acted..."

Originally, Ethan hadn't assigned himself a role in the script.

But if Ainbetz were to star in it, I'm afraid...

"It is the young master's choice to marry whomever he chooses. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I can only offer my blessings and pledge my loyalty."

Anya remained expressionless.

Ethan quickly said, "Anya, do you want to act? Why don't you act too?"

"……don't want."

She looked away.

Ethan quickly rewrote a character. ————————

The wind in the capital in August is always unbearably hot. Even if there is a moment of relaxation that brings a touch of coolness, it will soon be overwhelmed by the even greater heat.

However, this heat could not extinguish the burning passion in Vasini's heart; on the contrary, it only made him more enthusiastic and determined.

Under his leadership, the Southern Mafia is gradually improving and becoming stronger.

Since the night of the typhoon, he has hardly stopped working, constantly negotiating and handling various matters.

Of course, daily prayers and missionary work are also essential.

Now that there are many more devout believers, he must spread the greatness of the Lord and His creed to these people.

Even so, he showed no signs of fatigue.

He cannot rest; this is the order he has given himself.

Everything in the southern district awaits his control and development.

In particular, it involved the unification of the entire Mafia organization and the expansion of new industries.

Vasini had already done half the work of unifying the original Mafia forces before, when he had gathered those people together through the war against Uttahan.

Now, through the absolute slaughter on the night of the typhoon, those people have been completely subjugated.

The original Southern District Mafia gradually declined entirely because they fought their own battles, were completely disunited, and were a disorganized mess.

Now that it has been completely integrated by Vasini, it has become a force to be reckoned with.

In particular, he also received mysterious assistance.

It wasn't that some people outwardly submitted but secretly plotted against each other; as a result, they were eliminated in less than a night, and the people used weren't even Vasini's own.

He was like someone with a ghost squad lurking in the shadows, ready to execute those with disloyal intentions at any moment.

These people were naturally the reinforcements brought to him by the divine messenger.

The moment Vasini saw these people, he knew they were definitely the same group as those who had appeared in the strong wind that day.

Although there are still many young faces in this group, their demeanor is already far superior to that of his subordinates.

Sure enough, once the operation was launched, these people did not disappoint him at all.

He is absolutely efficient and decisive in his work, and he often does things that surprise him.

For example, the operations against Little Ibia.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that killing four people almost caused a war between Aquaman Rockby and Ibia Jr. was something Vasini found remarkable.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, his thinking and execution are something that even he would find hard to match.

What was that young man's name again? Cronzio.

He is said to be the person most valued by the divine messenger, and he is indeed extraordinary.

After that incident, Vasini stopped letting him go out to work. Such a person should be entrusted with important responsibilities, and he must not be allowed to get into trouble.

Now, the biggest responsibility is the private distilleries.

The biggest advantage of unifying the southern region is that it makes things much more convenient, and you won't encounter situations where each family has different opinions when you want to do something.

After his last conversation with the messenger of the gods, the mysterious northern merchant Palen, they had already begun large-scale construction in the southern region.

Palen provided the money, while Vasini provided the manpower, resources, and location.

In a short time, a brand new underground winery has been built.

Furthermore, Palen sent a group of experienced winemakers, and with the addition of various machines and equipment, the first batch of products is already in production.

Although the war over Little Ibia is at a stalemate, Trevor has disappeared without a trace.

But business can't stop.

This is also the capital that enabled Vasini to continue to grow stronger in the future.

If he could completely take control of this business, he would have the strength to leave the Southern District. Moreover, he would have divine protection.

Therefore, illicit liquor is of paramount importance.
