Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 360 [Make it look nice]

When the summer heat once again enveloped the capital.

Ethan had already left the city before the sun had fully risen.

He came home.

Winster.

He left by ship, not the Poseidon, but it was a fairly large vessel belonging to the Poseidon fleet.

Regardless of Ethan's relationship with the Poseidon Cult, he maintained a good relationship with the Poseidon.

At least when Charlie drank with him last time, he didn't say anything.

Before leaving, Ethan naturally made arrangements.

It's mainly the side of Hlosh and Vasin.

Helosh was given a brief period of freedom to write, but Ethan still told him that he had to keep the publication open and be ready to receive messages from Winster.

News from the film crew.

Ethan packed up the entire crew and took them with him.

His trip to Winston was originally intended to reshoot some important scenes.

He had originally intended to invite Princess Einbeze to go with him, but of course, that was out of the question.

Just as she herself said on the ship that day, the capital was a huge and magnificent prison from which she could not escape.

Without the presence of the princess, fewer people were willing to accompany them. Apart from the main creative team, only Pope and some artists from the Gallery of Mirrors were willing to come along.

They were having brunch on the deck overlooking the sea, enjoying the beautiful view of the sea and sky blending into one.

Pope was still calling for Ethan to join him.

Ethan shook his head and continued to gaze at the capital city, which was receding into the distance.

He was sensing the distance between himself and Vasini.

As expected, the power of his 'True God's Name' was still insufficient to allow him to sense Vasini everywhere.

The further away from the capital, the weaker his senses became.

By the time we return to Winston, there will probably only be a faint trace of contact left.

Ethan was slightly worried about this, but with Joseph and Johnny Blackbird in the capital, things couldn't get too bad.

Yes, Johnny Blackbird didn't leave. He didn't go to Winster with Ethan; he stayed in the capital.

Because so many eyes were fixed on Ethan, he couldn't get on the ship at all.

So he could only give Ethan a letter to deliver to West.

Besides the letter from Johnny Blackbird, there was a whole bunch of other letters that Mrs. Southgate had Ethan deliver to Sophia.

Ethan had no idea what was inside the three large boxes, but they were to be delivered to Sophia intact.

Ethan had no intention of opening it; he continued to gaze at the sea.

His advice to Johnny Blackbird was to lie low for now and wait until he returned from Winston before deciding what to do next.

After that night, Johnny Blackbird's reputation rose to another level.

Now, in the hearts of the common people in the capital, he is practically a great hero, a chivalrous figure.

Because he only attacks nobles and wealthy people.

People felt that he was speaking out for the injustices suffered by people at the bottom of society.

So naturally, more eyes will be fixed on him.

The eldest prince and his cronies were even more eager to kill him immediately.

Johnny Blackbird knew this himself; he wasn't a reckless fool, and he listened to advice.

So he simply told Ethan, "I'll take a good rest, consider it a vacation. Oh, and remember to tell West that I love her."

Ethan couldn't stand his sudden display of affection, so he ignored him and quickly left.

If we were to say who was most heartbroken by Ethan's departure, it would undoubtedly be the newspaper reporters.

Without Ethan, the news coverage has dwindled significantly. Regardless of their opinions, Ethan has ultimately left the capital.

at the same time.

Inside the Kingdom Club.

It was the same conference room that had been specially set up for the eldest prince.

The meeting room was still full today.

All the key personnel that the eldest prince could use had arrived.

Heisenberg looked the worst and was in the lowest spirits.

It can be said that he was the one who orchestrated the war that rainy night, and as a result, they suffered a crushing defeat.

Not only did they lose the entire South Division, they also let go of the most crucial player, Johnny Blackbird.

“The blame lies entirely with me; it is my fault. Please, Your Highness, punish me.”

Hearing this, the eldest prince Havenius still smiled. As he smiled, he came up to Heisenberg and said, "I'm not the head of the Royal Guard, so why should I punish you? Besides, everyone makes mistakes. There's no need to do this. Heisenberg, I've seen your excellence. This time, it was just an accident."

Heisenberg did not react and kept his head down.

Havenius turned around and looked at Mr. 'Scrutiny', who had been speaking very little all along.

"Sir, what have you discovered?"

"Ethan."

Mr. 'Examine' uttered two words very briefly.

Upon hearing this name, Heisenberg's lowered eyes flickered slightly.

Jonas, who was sitting to the side, also pursed his lips.

White, the eldest son of the Eriman family who had just lost his younger brother, finally spoke.

"Ethan just left the capital and went back to his hometown, Winster, a city no one would care about. If he dies there, who would know?"

"He is, after all, a celebrity in the kingdom, a great artist. This time he brought a group of people to make a movie, including Pope."

Jonas said, as if to remind him.

"Your Highness, what do you say?"

White became somewhat ruthless.

Unlike the Evans family, the Elliman family did not engage in fratricide; the two brothers had a very good relationship.

Therefore, White was truly heartbroken by Jesse's death.

Moreover, after that night, Rocky the Sea King, who was originally the most loyal henchman of the Eriman family, actually betrayed them.

The scene of the severed hand as an apology, which is known to the entire city, was neither instructed nor agreed to by the Elleman family.

They were also slow to realize it.

By the time Lockeby finished what he did, it was too late.

White sent someone to question Lockerbie.

Lockerbie actually cut out the man's tongue and sent him back to the Erieman's house.

This is a complete betrayal.

Afterwards, White wanted to investigate the matter, only to learn that Lockby had already fallen for Prince Adrian.

As a result, their family lost a huge piece of port territory, and they could no longer do business at sea as freely as before.

So White was filled with mixed feelings of resentment, and he wanted Ethan dead.

"Is this a good idea? Actually, I quite admire Ethan. I'll be sad if he dies, and so will my sister."

The eldest prince seemed to be caught in a dilemma, tapping his fingers on the table as if deep in thought.

After a long pause, he sighed and said, "Alright, we can't let our own people suffer, so we'll just have to make do with Ethan. Remember, do it well."
