Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 354 [The Rain Stops]

The rain finally stopped.

Johnny stood dejectedly in the parking lot below the Kingdom Protection Department building.

He had originally planned to make a trip to the South District; he really wanted to see the scene with his own eyes and see what kind of person that guy named Johnny Blackbird was under his mask.

And incidentally, I can write down those horrific scenes and then describe them to Ethan when I get back.

He just wanted to see Ethan in utter pain, despair, and helplessness.

but.

Just as he was about to drive there, one of his trusted subordinates returned with the latest news.

Old Man Xiwen is dead.

The former allies suffered a crushing defeat.

They failed to catch Blackbird Johnny, as well as the giant axe-wielding man involved in the case.

how come?
Johnny couldn't understand it at all. He had been in the capital for quite some time and knew the capital's underworld inside and out.

He knew very well the strength of his former allies and the strength of Old Man Xiwen.

That old guy is definitely not weak.

With Heisenberg and his men suppressing Joseph tonight, the Southern Mafia has no chance of fighting back without external intervention.

In particular, Aquaman Lockerbie also sent people.

There was even the involvement of the Western gangs in the West District.

This was a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.

Even if the Southern District Mafia has some hidden strength, they can't defeat them.

In addition, Ethan was also detained by the Kingdom Protection Bureau.

No matter how you look at it, it seems foolproof, and there's no way you could lose.

How can it be……

Johnny subconsciously looked up at a certain building, then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly walked towards that building.

The dust-free room is right there.

He had to go see Ethan; he suddenly had a feeling that it was all about Ethan.

It must be him!
He burst through the door of the Cleanroom like a whirlwind, rushed to Ethan, grabbed him by the collar, and roared, "What have you done? Tell me! What have you done?!"

"what?"

Ethan looked bewildered, as if he truly had no idea what had happened.

But Johnny clearly saw it; in his eyes was a calm that seemed to see through everything.

This guy definitely knows something, he definitely does!

"You did it all! You did it all!"

“Agent Johnny, I advise you to let me go and explain yourself. What exactly did I do?”

Ethan slowly pulled his hand down from his collar, straightened it gently, and said.

“I’ve been sitting here all night, as you’ve seen. What could I possibly be doing here? I know there might be some misunderstandings between us, but that’s no excuse for you to frame me. Otherwise, even if you were an agent of the Kingdom Security Bureau, I would still take legal action.”

"you!!!"

Johnny flew into a rage again and tried to grab Ethan by the collar once more.

Just then, a shout came from behind him: "Johnny, what are you doing?!"

It was Heisenberg's voice.

Heisenberg is back.

Heisenberg seemed somewhat somber, and raindrops even dripped from his clothes.

He stepped into the dust-free room.

Johnny naturally dared not do anything more.

But he couldn't help but say to Heisenberg, "Your Excellency, there's no mistake, it must be him, it must be him."

"Hey, Johnny, right? You need to be responsible for your words. What do you mean 'it must be him'? Do you even know who he is? He's the great artist Ethan Poletta, and a close friend of Her Highness the Princess. Just now, Her Highness asked about him and said to let him go if he was alright. What do you mean now? Are you trying to tell the Princess that something's wrong with him?"

Joseph followed closely behind. He was in much better spirits than Heisenberg; he maintained a smile, or rather, he suppressed it, as if afraid he might burst out laughing.

This made Johnny's anger rise from his feet to the top of his head.

But he had no choice.

Even Heisenberg could only listen, and that princess was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"So, can I leave now?"

Ethan straightened his collar again, as if to remind everyone of Johnny's rude behavior just now.

“Of course, you can go now, Ethan.”

Heisenberg paused for a moment, then continued.

"Regarding Johnny's behavior, I will give him an internal reprimand and will give you a satisfactory result."

"I'm fine, really nothing. Agent Johnny is a very responsible and inquisitive person."

"Oh? Really? Then I'll have to learn from him too."

Joseph added a comment as well.

These words made Heisenberg's expression even more unpleasant.

Ethan laughed at this moment and said, "Alright, alright, I've been here all night without a drop of water, I'm really hungry and thirsty. Let's go get something to eat. Oh, by the way, what happened outside tonight? Heisenberg, you look terrible."

"Ethan, you won't always win."

Heisenberg was silent for a moment, and then said something as Ethan walked past him.

"Yes, so I'm always prepared to lose."

Ethan replied to him in a low voice.

He and Joseph left the Cleanroom.

Johnny looked dejected, but he still tried to speak, saying, "Sir, there's no mistake, it must be him, if..."

"Captain Johnny, you're suspended from duty starting today. Take some time to rest. I'll bring you back when you're less anxious."

"But……"

"Go and hand over your documents, then leave."

The conversation ended.

The entrance to the Royal Guard Bureau.

Ethan and Joseph had already driven off.

Joseph rolled down the car window, took out a cigarette, and lit it for Ethan first.

Ethan did not refuse and took a deep breath in the firelight.

He was actually very tired. Although he was just sitting there tonight, he had already accomplished everything.

"Did you see Heisenberg's face? Haha, let me tell you, his expression was even more interesting in the South District just now."

Joseph said that he also lit a cigarette.

"is it?"

Ethan exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced out the car window again.

The heat of the capital city began to rise again after the rain.

However, many things have changed.

"What would you like to eat? It's on me. You've really worked hard today."

When Joseph said those words, he seemed to remember something, and his expression immediately changed from happy to cheerful.

Ethan also realized something.

West's Secret Garden.

"No, I'm sleepy and want to go home to sleep. Take me home."

Ethan flicked the smoke out the window.

Maybe it's time to go home.
