Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 323 [People in the Rain]

No one knows when the rain started.

But when it landed, it really made the whole city go wild.

Everywhere was boiling over; the heat hadn't dissipated, but rather seemed to have intensified.

West End.

On the coastal highway.

The fierce battle ended with the heavy rain.

It wasn't that no one had an umbrella and couldn't fight in the rain; rather, members of the Kingdom Protection Bureau, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared.

They stopped the farce.

“Johnny, now I’d like to explain why you’re here tonight.”

In the pouring rain, a man also dressed in a Kingdom Protection Bureau uniform was glaring angrily at Johnny and loudly questioning him.

Johnny knew this person.

Hank Charson, captain of the second action team of the third division.

A big guy.

I heard that he was a confidant of Heisenberg, the commander of the Third Division.

The Third Division was newly rebuilt and did not have a division chief, because most of the staff were transferred from the Second Division, so they only obeyed the orders of one person.

That person was the Second Heaven, the supreme general, Solomon.

In a sense, Solomon was the god of the entire Kingdom Security Bureau.

Of course, except for the one in one place.

However, that one is even more mysterious. Some say that he may have died long ago, but was not made public in order to maintain some symbolic power.

In short, although Johnny is the captain of Team One, theoretically he should be of higher rank than Hank, the captain of Team Two.

But in reality, Hank is the one who truly holds power.

He's leading the three biggest cases right now, while Johnny's on the sidelines.

Normally, out of politeness, Hank would give Johnny some face.

But now, that's impossible.

This guy messed up the whole plan he had set up.

He was extremely angry.

He even felt that this guy was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Why are you here, Hank?

As a result, Johnny also raised a question, looking at Hank and wondering if the other man was doing it on purpose.

"This is a secret; I'm on a secret mission."

Hank couldn't reveal his reason for being there; after all, the Kingdom Security Bureau's involvement in gangster activities was not something to be proud of.

Johnny grew increasingly suspicious, feeling that he was just trying to steal the credit.

"If you have any questions, you can ask His Excellency Heisenberg directly."

Hank was finally forced to utter those words.

Johnny was speechless; he realized he might have really done something wrong.

But soon he realized that he had not only done something wrong, but that he had been completely fooled.

Because there was nothing in those trucks.

This is a fact discovered by Hank's people.

"Nothing at all? How is that possible?!"

Johnny could not accept it.

"What about people?"

"There's nothing there, not a single person. We've all been tricked."

Hank wasn't stupid. After reading it, he replied to Johnny, and seeing that Johnny didn't believe him, he simply told Johnny to see for himself.

Johnny rushed over, checking each car, and then, finally unable to contain himself any longer, growled in a low voice in the pouring rain: "Where is everyone?!"

At this moment, Trevor and Morren, who were huddled to the side, looked even more unpleasant.

It should be said that Moran's expression was even more unpleasant.

He's messed things up again. If he's not here, where could he be?
The answer is self-evident.

We can only hope that the people in the East District can be stopped.

But for some reason, Molen didn't dare to hold onto any hope at all.

He had a feeling that something was going to go wrong.

--------

The camera returns to the East District.

Haijin Coast Tavern.

When the heavy rain started.

The battle ended just like before.

Similarly, it wasn't the heavy rain that brought everyone back to their senses, but rather the presence of sufficiently high-profile figures from both sides.

High Priest Haigen arrived from the Church of Poseidon, while on the other side, Sea King Lockeby himself came.

With such important figures appearing, it's impossible to continue the fight.

Morris and his group of fanatical followers were taken into custody.

Meanwhile, a major problem has arisen for Aquaman Lockerbie.

While cleaning up the battlefield, they discovered something: Shark Jensen was dead.

This enraged Shark Jensen's henchmen and a group of people who were on good terms with him; they wanted to make Morris pay.

At the crucial moment, it was Aquaman Rockby who stepped forward and calmed everyone down.

A servant in a black tuxedo, holding a black umbrella, brought the man who ruled over one-fifth of the capital's underworld into the public eye.

Aquaman Lockerbie

He is an elegant man.

He was dressed in a bespoke black tuxedo, wearing an old-fashioned top hat, his beard was meticulously trimmed, a pocket watch hung in his breast pocket, and he walked with a measured and deliberate gait, completely embodying the demeanor of an old-fashioned gentleman.

By the way, he was also quite good-looking. Even though he was over forty, he was still very well-maintained. His appearance quieted down his subordinates.

Haigen was watching him from the other side.

In contrast, Haigen doesn't need an umbrella; his abilities are related to the sea and also connected to rain.

The rain could not get close to him.

The two men exchanged a glance, then walked into the tavern together.

sit down.

The tavern was in disarray, and rain kept pouring down from the leaky roof, but it was all blocked by a mysterious force.

The conversation inside was also blocked out.

Nobody knows what they were talking about inside.

However, the conflict was temporarily over when Rocky the Aquaman came out of the house fifteen minutes later.

He ordered Hagen to take all the believers away, and then also instructed his men not to cause trouble.

The only requirement is...

Hand over the murderer within three days.

"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation, Lockeby."

Hagen turned to look at the culprit, Maurice, whose expression remained solemn, as if he had just completed some extremely important prayer.

same moment.

Ethan had just taken a shower at his home on the sea cliff, washing away the heat.

The heavy rain outside showed no signs of stopping. Fortunately, we had installed the latest model of air conditioner at home; otherwise, it would have been an exceptionally difficult night.

Meanwhile, Anya had also returned. She had also caught the heavy rain and was soaking wet, but she was still waiting to serve Ethan at any time.

Ethan pointed at her and said, "Go take a shower, I'll mix you two drinks."

In this kind of weather, on this kind of rainy night, it's perfect to sit down and have a couple of drinks.

Especially after a busy night.

Ethan looked out the window at the rain and sighed. This night would finally pass peacefully.
