Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 102 [The Direction of the Wind]

"Who, then, shall we send to kill him?"

Ethan faced everyone's gaze and spoke slowly.

"It's simple. According to traditional rules, draw lots."

Sandro smiled and spread his hands.

As a result, George simply gave in and said, "I'll give up. I'll give up half of the profit for the next two months. Is that okay?"

The Evans family really has no one left and can’t afford to lose anyone.

"I agree." Sandro nodded and looked at everyone.

Since George was single, he just offered the benefits and no one else had any objections.

So the situation became one-on-one again, king against king.

Ethan, and Sandro.

It was naturally impossible for Ethan to retreat at this time.

Every encounter he had with Sandro was now crucial.

This is a showdown between the old and new forces in Winston.

It was also the wind that swirled back and forth between the two people before the sword was finally drawn.

Now the wind is temporarily blowing from Ethan to Sandro.

"Let's draw lots." Ethan knocked on the table.

John Holt stood up and said, "Then why don't you two take charge? What do you think?"

He is a third party and does not belong to the Mafia. Moreover, if we really want to talk about the closeness of the relationship, although he was introduced by Sandro, his boss is Ned.

Ethan is very close to Ned now.

"I have no objection." Ethan and Sandro shook their heads at the same time.

John Holt immediately ordered someone to bring paper and pen, wrote different contents on two pieces of paper, then turned his back and exchanged them for a while before pressing them in his palm.

"Come on, who chooses first?"

"Sandro is the elder, he goes first." Ethan looked at Sandro.

Sandro did not refuse, nor did he hesitate too much, he said left hand.

In front of everyone, John Holt raised his left hand and opened the answer.

He is a mortal, not a real name user. Everyone can see his actions at this moment and he cannot cheat.

The answer is: no.

He then took the opportunity to open the answer in his other hand to show fairness.

The note there did say: Yes.

Ethan.

"I understand. I'll send someone to do it as soon as possible."

End of the meeting.

On the way back, Anya already knew the content of the meeting and said, "Master, could this be a trick?"

"It doesn't look like that at the moment... But, Sandro's move wouldn't be without reason."

The current situation is like the two swordsmen have reached the moment to compete in momentum.

Although the wind is blowing towards Sandro, there is no guarantee that Sandro will not suddenly come up with some unexpected tricks.

After arriving home, Vincent suggested that he go on this mission.

"Aberlin's strength should be at the level of the second True Name of the Law Enforcer. Velen is not suitable to go, so I'll go."

Ethan nodded, but said, "Don't worry, wait until Shadow comes."

Now that we know what Sandro might be up to, we can't be impatient.

This time, we have to do things steadily.

It should be beautiful but not ostentatious.

Shadow has finished his work back home and will be arriving in Winster soon. This is one of Ethan's hidden cards.

And there is...

Gustav.

"We'll go to Winster University later."

Last time, I gave Gustav the real name of the Law Enforcement Department. Now that we are going to deal with Aberlin, we must be fully prepared.

So later, Ethan came to the sea cliff again.

It’s just that the atmosphere at Winster University today is a little off.

Very depressing.

There were hardly any people in the school. Even if there were people, they were walking in a hurry, as if they were afraid of being caught.

Ethan came directly this time and did not inform El in advance, so he did not see him at first.

However, on the way to Gustav Laboratory, Ethan heard several students whispering.

"I heard...that agents from the Kingdom Security Bureau have come to our school?"

"It seems to be true. He even went straight to the principal's office. What... happened?"

"Did something happen to the principal?"

"Forget it, forget it, stop talking about it. That's the Kingdom Security Bureau. Let's just go to class."

Ethan stopped when he heard this.

Kingdom Security Bureau?

headmaster……

So Solomon hadn't come to see Lauren before?

So how did Lauren disappear?
Ethan is not afraid of the Kingdom Security Bureau. He even has a personal relationship with Solomon now.

Out of curiosity, or perhaps to confirm something, Ethan also went towards the bluestone building.

As a result, when I reached the door, I saw El standing there looking worriedly, but he did not enter the bluestone building.

"Dean El, what happened?" Ethan called him.

"Oh, Ethan, why are you here?" El was a little dazed.

"I haven't been to class for several days. I thought it was time to come." Ethan said casually, and then the topic turned back to the previous one.

"The principal is...back?"

"No." El shook his head, his confusion becoming even greater, and even a little desperate.

"I don't know what happened, and then..."

Having said that, El paused, looked around, and then looked at Ethan.

"Don't tell anyone about this..."

"Don't worry, I'm also a part of the school."

"Here's what happened. Today, a group of people claiming to be from the Kingdom Security Bureau came looking for the principal. I told them the principal wasn't in, but they refused to listen and barged in. Once they were inside the principal's office, they kicked me out. I don't know what they're doing in there now..."

As they were talking, there was movement in the bluestone building, and one of Solomon's men, whom Ethan had seen before, walked out quickly.

He glanced at Ethan and clearly recognized him, but said nothing. He simply addressed El, "Laurent Roland has been confirmed to be involved in a major incident that threatens the kingdom's security. We need to thoroughly investigate him. Please take me to see the school board. Also, this office must be sealed completely until we complete the investigation. No one is allowed to enter."

While he was speaking, several of his colleagues were already moving things out. By chance, Ethan saw what one of them was holding in his hands: a black robe and a pure black mask.

So, the principal is the man in black robe?

"This... is, please... please follow me, sir." El was completely confused. He originally thought that the principal was just missing, but now it was related to some major security incident.

It won't affect him, right?

Ethan noticed that the agent was looking at him, so he smiled and nodded at him before leaving.

Did the principal escape?
This is not incomprehensible.

Even Ethan could imagine that the Kingdom Security Bureau would conduct a thorough investigation, so the principal would not fail to think of it.

But if he is the man in black robe, then who is the King of Winster?
