Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 335 [Heisenberg's Determination]

Summer rains always come very quickly.

When Heisenberg arrived at Ethan's house, it had been raining for a while.

This is Ethan's new home.

Joseph helped him find a house that was even closer to the sea than his previous home, with a better view, a larger house, and an excellent design. It was said to be the work of David Grinch, the most famous architect of the previous generation. The market price would have been sky-high, but with Joseph involved, it was impossible for it to be too expensive.

Heisenberg stood in the courtyard looking at the sculpture for a while, until Ethan came up to him with an umbrella, at which point he turned around.

"You know about sculpture?"

Ethan asked him.

"don't know."

Heisenberg shook his head.

"This work seems to be called The Cage. There are rumors that it is also a work by David Grinch, so this house was once priced above market value."

Ethan also stared at the sculpture.

It was a naked man, wrapped in two rings.

One half of his body seemed to be struggling to break free, while the other half was contracting forcefully, as if afraid of letting even a tiny bit slip out.

Extremely contradictory and bizarre.

"This sculpture seems to have another name... 'Life.' What did you see?"

Is Maurice one of yours?

Heisenberg suddenly asked a question.

“Who? Maurice? Impossible. He’s a hotshot right now, someone even I have to look up to.”

Ethan shook his head repeatedly.

"Who exactly killed Depp?"

Heisenberg, however, seemed not to hear him and continued to ask questions.

"I heard it's someone from Aquaman Lockerbie's group, but I'm not really sure."

“I know he’s one of Joseph’s men. Give him to me.”

"Do you think that's possible?"

Finally, everyone stopped talking to themselves.

The rain suddenly intensified, and it seemed as if only the sound of rain echoed throughout the world.

"Then I have no choice but to arrest you; they know it's you."

Heisenberg stared intently at Ethan.

"Then arrest me."

Ethan extended his hand.

Silence, for a long time.

The rain shows no sign of stopping.

Heisenberg did not use an umbrella or any means to protect himself from the rain; he simply let the rain pelt his face and body.

At that moment, he looked like a statue.

You have to give me a name.

"no name."

Heisenberg suddenly reached out and grabbed Ethan's collar.

"One, a name."

After a moment of silence, Ethan finally uttered a name.

Upon hearing the name, Heisenberg slowly released his grip and walked outside.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, looked at Ethan again, and said, "I will catch you, I definitely will."

Ethan simply stretched out his hand as if to be caught.

------

The rain stopped after Heisenberg left.

It's magical to say the least.

After he left, Ethan drank another cup of coffee and then began creating the storyboard.

This was his first time making a movie, but luckily he was the investor himself, so he could do whatever he wanted.

The first filming location was set in the South District, Vasini's territory, and the first scene was filmed in the sanctuary.

Vasini already knew the news, so naturally he had no objection to it, because it was a divine oracle.

After Ethan finished the storyboard for the first act, he turned to look out the window. This was another reason why the house was so valuable: the view of the sea was right outside the window, much like Sandro's house had been.

His storyboard is complete; now the actors need to take the stage one by one.

at the same time.

The scene where Angus was killed.

Johnny was observing, but his mind was elsewhere.

Heisenberg's gaze still occasionally flashed through his mind.

That look made his heart flutter.

He's nobody's man, and he just messed up something.

If this had happened during Michel's time, he would have been dead for good.

He didn't know what Heisenberg's character was, or what it meant to send him here.

Could it be that……

"Johnny, have you found anything?"

Just then, Heisenberg’s unexpected question interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes, sir."

Johnny immediately got up and quickly reported the information he had gathered.

“Angus should have had one bodyguard who survived, named Gull, who was a member of the former three-headed dragon legion. Also, Blackbird Johnny might be two people.”

"Oh?"

Compared to the information about Gull, the fact that Blackbird Johnny was two people seemed to have caught Heisenberg's attention more.

"Why do you say that?"

"trajectory."

Johnny continued.

"Based on the traces at the scene, most of Angus's men were killed by bullets from the Winster typewriter that came straight at them, while Angus himself was killed by a super-large caliber bullet that came from the side and pierced through the window. The trajectories were completely different. Based on the traces at the scene, it can be inferred that one person first distracted all of Angus's men, and then a second person shot and killed Angus in the car."

Heisenberg listened while observing the entire room.

"Judging from the shot that killed Angus, it was exactly the same as the shot that assassinated the eldest prince. Therefore, Johnny Blackbird is likely not alone, but rather... a group of people."

Heisenberg finally nodded upon hearing this.

“You’re very good, Johnny.”

"Thank you, sir..."

Johnny still didn't understand Heisenberg's meaning. His series of analyses was partly a professional habit and partly an attempt to reinforce the impression he made on Heisenberg.

"I know you. Actually, you have a younger brother, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Johnny couldn't help but swallow hard.

Is it finally here?
“Your brother is a smart man. Although I don’t particularly like him, he is indeed a competent guy when it comes to upholding the rules.”

"Sir, I..."

“You don’t need to think too much, Johnny.”

Heisenberg reached out and interrupted Johnny.

“Ethan and I do have some personal ties, but that’s all. They can’t possibly supersede the laws of the kingdom, nor can they supersede the interests of the kingdom, so…”

"Investigate thoroughly. We must catch Johnny Blackbird, and we must also catch those who dare to undermine the interests and stability of the kingdom."

Heisenberg spoke with unwavering conviction, as did his eyes; he had made up his mind.

Johnny was finally relieved; he knew he was alright.

At least in this matter, he will no longer suffer certain fates that he could not resist.

"Yes, sir, I will do my utmost!"

"Well, let's go."

Heisenberg nodded, waved for Johnny to get to work, and then glanced at the sky.

After the rain stopped, the sky over the capital city became clear and beautiful once again.

Night is approaching.

The heat returned.

Ethan, if this is my life, then I choose to stick to my rules.
