Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 112 [The Beginning of the Legend]

Half past eleven in the morning.

The entrance to Winchester High Court.

Reporters and the public who were not qualified to enter the court to observe the trial were anxiously awaiting the final outcome of the trial.

Two hours have passed.

In the meantime, they only saw someone come out once and bring some things back.

Other than that, there is no more information.

Who will win in the end?

Although from a rational analysis point of view, Ethan has basically no hope of winning.

After all, all the evidence pointed to him.

There is also a large amount of illegal liquor seized on four ships, which is irrefutable evidence.

No matter how smart or resourceful a person is, it would be impossible to turn this case around, right?

Not to mention, this time the prosecution team is unprecedentedly strong, with almost all of Winston's top lawyers present.

And Bob is just an unknown person.

Can he win?
It's as ridiculous as a giant whale being killed by seaweed.

Another ten minutes passed.

Some people have lost their patience.

Since it's a destined result, I might as well go back and eat.

There can't be any miracle.

Ethan's previous words at the door were just bluffing.

Apart from the reporters who had to report this news, many people had already started thinking about leaving.

Either turn around or start packing up some things that were there to watch the fun.

It was at this time.

Someone came out of the courthouse.

"Someone's out!"

Someone shouted immediately.

This time, everyone's curiosity was ignited again.

Who will come out?
Then, everyone saw a somewhat unfamiliar face.

Not Ethan.

He was a middle-aged man who looked a little disheveled. Although he was dressed elegantly and had oiled hair, and appeared motionless, his expression was still a little flustered.

As soon as he walked out and saw so many reporters and people outside, he immediately lowered his hat to cover his face and quickly walked to the side, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

But someone still recognized it.

This person is Murphy Dimel, the owner of the Dimel Law Firm, and is a member of the prosecution team today.

Why did he come out, looking guilty?

Could it be that……

impossible.

Some people with quick eyes and hands rushed up and started interviewing him.

"Mr. Murphy, is the trial over? What was the outcome? Can we talk about it?"

Murphy, however, walked faster and faster, ignoring everyone.

But the smarter people ignored Murphy completely and instead rushed forward to grab the most advantageous position and wait for the shot.

Because they had already guessed...

next moment.

Ethan walked out briskly, then faced everyone and made the same gesture he had made before entering.

He clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Everyone, as I said before, I will return like lightning!"

In fact, until he said this, everyone was still a little confused.

Now, they are completely confirmed.

Ethan won.

He actually won?!

is it possible?

Just as everyone was stunned, Bob, Ethan's attorney who had just won a big victory, stood beside Ethan and said calmly, "Everyone, just now, the court acquitted Mr. Ethan on the grounds of insufficient evidence. The law has proven Mr. Ethan's innocence. This was a complete conspiracy that wanted to kill Mr. Ethan, but in the end... justice will prevail!"

"Justice will prevail" was what Ethan had said in the detention room that day, and now Bob repeated it again. Suddenly, someone took the lead, and many people at the scene followed suit, and it became a roaring slogan.

The reporters who were already awake began to take pictures and ask questions frantically.

But Ethan had already started to move through the crowd under Bob's protection. Neither he nor Bob said anything in response to these questions.

But legend has it, it has already begun.

After this day.

The wonderful and incredible story of how Ethan proved to everyone in court that the bootleg liquor was fake, and how Bob debated with everyone and finally won the argument against the entire prosecution team single-handedly, began to spread wildly.

This story, which is a perfect example of personal heroism, is talked about by everyone.

There is also a lot of fantasy in it, such as why the wine is actually fake, how is it done, is there a mysterious power helping?

This led to the story being adapted into a novel and a movie.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

But now, Ethan's momentum is undoubtedly stronger.

Bob, who was originally unknown, became famous in one battle. He stepped on the corpses of those big lawyers and became the brightest legal star in Winston.

However, when Ethan got into his own vehicle, Klaus Spear, again.

The relaxed look on his face had disappeared.

Only a haze remains.

Because he knew very well that the battle was far from over.

Quite the opposite.

Now is the beginning of the war.

Vincent's whereabouts remain unknown.

And Sandro is closing in.

"Call all the family heads for a meeting."

As soon as Ethan got in the car, he gave the order.

This is an inevitable war.

Even if there is an insignificant George in the middle.

But both sides have reached the stage where they have no choice but to draw their swords.

It all depends on whose sword is faster and sharper.

"Bob, is there any legal way to sanction Sandro?"

Bob sat next to Ethan.

If we want a showdown, it can't just be blood and fire.

Sandro is also a half-whitewashed character. If you want to attack him, you have to attack him from all sides, just like he attacks himself.

"Duval didn't take action today." Bob said this.

“He’s a guy who doesn’t leave any holes.”

Ethan understood what Bob said.

With Duval's help, Sandro left no loopholes that could be attacked.

In other words, we can only confront it head-on.

"Anya, where is Clay?" Ethan thought of Clay again.

This person was once half of the person he could trust.

Now, he couldn't believe him at all.

Then, those secrets he knew...

"Clay is missing." Anya's answer was beyond Ethan's expectations.

Clay disappeared.

"After seeing you, he disappeared."

"Also, I got some very strange news. Clay has withdrawn from the Conti family. Judging from various other news, this should be true. It also happened after he met you that day. It's just that they deliberately kept it secret, and I only found out about it today."

Clay quit the family and disappeared?
When this great war is about to come.

Is he feeling guilty and not wanting to take action?

Ethan arrived home quickly and was about to prepare for the meeting when the phone rang.

It was Sandro calling.

At this juncture...
