Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 61 [Family Dinner]

The snow continued to fall until night, and it was getting heavier.

It is foreseeable that in less than half a month, tomorrow, the whole of Winster will be covered in snow.

On such a cold snowy night, the Pauletta family manor was warm and cozy.

Because the fireplace in the house was lit and the dining table was filled with steaming food.

Today, there were quite a few people sitting in the main house's restaurant, and Ethan was not the only one dining.

Sitting on Ethan's left was Veron, on his right was Vincent, and Palen sat next to Vincent.

This is a celebration party.

The war ended over an hour ago.

The sky was just beginning to be engulfed in darkness.

The result of the war was naturally a great victory.

The Prohibition spies who attacked the handicraft factory were almost completely wiped out by Velen who had been lying in ambush inside.

The Prohibition spies were severely damaged after this incident.

What's more, Lewis is dead.

As for the Cabrera family, Ethan was well prepared. Most of the dead were originally from the Cabrera family, and there were few casualties from the Poletta family.

When Ethan rushed back from Winchester University, Vincent and Anya personally led people to suppress the rebellion.

Soon, there was no splash at all.

In fact, because of the rebellion of Bearded Gary, Ethan completed the purge of the old people of the original Cabrera family.

There are only a few surviving old people in the Cabrera family. Later, when Ethan inserts new people into those territories that are short of people, he will truly complete the annexation.

There will no longer be any question of internal rebellion.

This was actually Ethan's first thought when he heard Palen report Lewis's rebellion.

one stone two bird.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Ethan stood up, took a spoon, tapped his wine glass lightly, and motioned everyone to look over.

"Everyone, let us first welcome my second brother, Vincent Boleta, home. Vincent, welcome home."

With the last sentence, Ethan looked at Vincent and raised his glass to him.

Velen and Palen also raised their glasses quickly.

Vincent drank the wine in the glass, then leaned back in his chair, looking extremely relaxed and satisfied.

That's the look of being home.

Next is Vilon. Vilon performed as usual today and there were no problems.

Whatever is entrusted to him will never go wrong.

And Velen was also reminiscing about it. This was his first battle after obtaining his real name, and the feeling was indeed different from usual.

It was like the whole person leaped up.

He reveled in the feeling.

"It's a pity that Lewis died."

The only pity is this.

He was even thinking about killing that guy with his own hands.

He couldn't help but glance at his slightly empty left foot.

Finally, there's Palen.

Palen was actually still a little confused, he was actually in a daze just now.

There seemed to be constant gunfire in his ears.

The interlaced sounds of gunfire reminded him of that night, and he seemed to see the old man in his family lying at his feet.

Although he didn't actually shoot or kill anyone today.

But it is true that the Cabrera family was truly and completely destroyed in his hands today.

"Paren..."

Ethan's words woke him up.

At some point, Ethan had come behind Palen and gently pressed his jade-like hands on Palen's shoulders.

"You really impressed me this time."

"So, you now have two choices. One, I'll give you some money and you can go wherever you want, and I'll never look for you again. Two, you can stay and help Velen, really help him."

Ethan's words were clear.

He had completely trusted Palen and could now give him freedom and accept him as a true member of the family. Palen was still a little dazed.

If it were in the past, he would probably choose to leave without hesitation, leave this nightmare.

But now...

There was silence for a while.

Palen slowly stood up, turned around, grabbed Ethan's left hand, then lowered his head and deeply kissed the emblem covered with black mud and thorns.

"Ethan, I'm willing to give you... my heart."

Give your heart.

This is a very old saying.

A long time ago, the Fengcui people once established a powerful empire in the Old World. Those knights of the empire who were good at fighting and came and went like the wind would hammer their chests and say this sentence when they met the king.

"Glory...will be with you."

Ethan said the corresponding sentence.

The atmosphere is solemn and sacred.

Vincent smiled with relief.

Dinner started and everyone enjoyed it very much.

During the banquet, Ethan asked Velen about his thoughts, mainly about the matters that Vincent would be responsible for in the future.

Ethan's idea is to let Vincent take charge of the handicraft factory for the time being.

Before, Veron had to be in charge of the Cabrera family's territory and also take care of the handicraft factory, which seemed to make him feel overwhelmed.

Velen naturally agreed.

As for Vincent, he just nodded.

"I'll go anywhere you want."

When the dinner was almost over, Anya came back from outside and said to Ethan, "Master, those things have arrived."

Ethan understood that it was the alchemical product he ordered from Huoyan.

Since Velen was there too, he simply let Anya bring it in.

They were two very exquisite wooden boxes, covered with carved patterns.

The packaging alone is pretty good.

The first box naturally contained Ethan and Anya's guns.

When the box was opened, two uniquely shaped guns were lying on the red silk cloth.

The gun bodies are silver-white, and the grips are made of pure black ebony and pure white unknown material.

The utmost elegance.

There are inscriptions on the gun body. The black gun is engraved with "To the Godfather", and the back is probably the craftsman's signature, engraved with the letters AL.

As for the white gun body, it is of course engraved with "Dedicated to Tanya".

"Anya, try it."

Ethan threw the white gun to Anya and held the black gun himself.

As soon as I picked up the gun, I felt a sense of connection with it.

This is indeed a good gun with excellent gun feel.

Anya also couldn't let it go, and it was obvious that Huoyan had made some fine-tuning. Relatively speaking, Anya's white gun was thinner and more suitable for women to use.

As for the others, Velen and Palen only half understood what was going on.

Vincent praised it, "It's a very good alchemical creation, and it's actually level three."

Ethan nodded. This second brother was much more knowledgeable than he had imagined.

Next, it’s Velen’s prosthetic limb.

When Ethan took out the high-tech prosthetic limbs from the box.

Velen was almost in tears.

"Master, this...is this for me?"

"Of course, Velen, I owe you."

Ethan held the prosthetic limb in both hands and handed it to Velen.

Velen took it tremblingly, unable to speak.
