Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 113 [Idiot]

"Sandro, are you here to congratulate me?"

"Of course, Ethan, congratulations on your freedom. I have prepared a gift for you."

"Gift?"

"Yes, it's on its way. I had Emilio deliver it. You're going to like it."

The call was hung up.

Ethan didn't understand.

What exactly is Sandro selling?

He temporarily stopped his leaders from gathering for a meeting, and instead each of them guarded their own territory while he himself waited for Emilio's gift.

Thirty minutes later, the gift arrived.

Gift……

It turned out to be a coffin.

A transparent crystal coffin.

The coffin was not empty.

There was a person lying in the coffin.

This person is exactly what Ethan has been looking for...

Clay.

Ernest Kreinger.

Clay was lying quietly in the coffin at this moment. He would no longer suddenly come out of nowhere and rush in without any rules like he usually did, then laugh and say, "I'm just too lazy to take the main road."

This may be the quietest moment in his life.

"he died?"

Ethan stood in front of the coffin, looking at Clay in the coffin, and asked.

"As you can see, he's dead." Emilio didn't show any emotion, as if the person lying in the coffin was not his former companion.

"How did he die?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe he was beaten to death. Who knows?" Emilio said with a smile.

"Honestly, I'm still a little sad about his death. After all, I hated him so much. I'll never find someone as hateful as him again. Do you think I should be sad?"

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you a fact you might also know. He's no longer a member of the Conti family, so we no longer have any obligation or responsibility to avenge him. Sandro also said that collecting his body is our last moral obligation. As for other matters, they should be left to those who should do them."

"You're pretty familiar with him, right?"

Ethan placed his hand gently on the coffin and said nothing.

"I remembered, there's also this letter. I'm giving it to you as well. Originally, it was sent to you by one of his men, but I'm doing it for you. Don't worry, it's definitely his own handwriting. No one's handwriting could be uglier than his."

Emilio put down a letter wrapped in brown paper and prepared to leave.

"Sandro hopes you enjoy this gift, and congratulations on your freedom, Ethan."

As soon as the words came out.

Anya had already pointed the gun at Emilio's eyebrows.

But Ethan stopped her and said, "Let him go."

Emilio eventually left.

Ethan was looking at the letter.

"Master, be careful, let me check it out."

Ethan shook his head: "Let me do it. Go get some tools."

Ethan finally used tools to take the letter out.

It is indeed faith, nothing else.

The handwriting on it was sloppy and rough, which was very consistent with Clay's image.

The letter reads:
“Ethan, by the time you see this letter, I should be dead.

I'm not really afraid of death. After all, my life was saved.

I owe your father, and now I've paid him back, it's no big deal.

But I was afraid that even if I died, it would be useless and I still wouldn’t be able to save Vincent.

What I am going to tell you now is the truth of the matter.

Where on earth did Vincent go?

It was the Sun God Cult that captured him.

Because he is a survivor of Bartforan Town, the person that the Sun God Cult has been secretly looking for..."

The town of Butte Fran.

Ethan remembered that it was the news from the Truth newspaper that Clay brought him.

The story tells of a suspected large-scale evil god worship in the town of Bartforan in the Old World, and the Sun God Cult has purged the entire town. However, it seems to hide the secret of the resurrection of the ancient gods, and the Sun God Cult is also involved.

The Ancient God Resurrects...

Ethan thought of Vincent's blood.

His blood can be used to make the drug Trueblood, which can even withstand the torture of law enforcement officers of Solomon's level.

Vincent does have a secret.

But Ethan didn't expect that this secret would involve things so far away.

However, if you think about it carefully, Vincent has indeed been missing for more than ten years, and he has indeed returned from the Old World.

"Cassar Claverin, the Black Cardinal of the Sun Cult, didn't come here for the San Quanti incident at all; that was just an excuse. His real goal was to search for Vincent who had escaped back to the New World.

I know you won't believe me if I tell you this, so I'll go first.

I wish the news of my death had come sooner, so that they might not have left Winster yet.

I don't know whether I should write this letter to you. After all, Casar seems to be an invincible existence.

But I do have this obligation.

Your father once told me that if he died, I would take care of you.

Please forgive me for not taking good care of you because I am not capable enough.

This is the last thing I can do.

Ethan.

Maybe you should wait until you are strong enough before doing anything.

Or maybe you shouldn't do anything.

Anyway, I don't want to say these womanly words anymore.

Go ahead.”

The previous chatter was indeed not like Clay's style, but the last sentence was indeed something he could say.

Ethan understood his full intention.

He used his death as evidence to prove his innocence.

He had no involvement in Vincent's incident.

But words are useless, so death is the best proof.

This idiot.

Ethan couldn't help but tighten the pliers in his hand.

He was a little sad.

"Master, this letter..."

"The letter is genuine, although it may not have been written by Clay."

But what is said in it does exist.

That should be Vincent's identity.

Casal Claflin's purpose was the same.

In fact, this may be Sandro's conspiracy.

He simply told Ethan everything.

Then let Ethan make the choice.

In the end, he ran head-on into the mountain of Casal Clavering.

Or, pretend you know nothing.

"Deal with Clay's body...I want to see his wounds."

Ethan was silent for a moment before saying the second half of the sentence.

Afterwards, he instructed Anya to check the whereabouts of the Sun God Cult team.

Is Cassar about to leave Winster?

It was at this time that new evidence emerged.

Because Shadow woke up.

Shadow has been recuperating in Ethan's basement these days, and a doctor is taking care of him every day.

Finally, he woke up today.

The first thing he said after meeting Ethan was: "Sun God Cult."

Ethan took his hand.

He said the second sentence: "A person I dare not even look at... too dazzling."

It's too glaring.
