Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 121 [Third Day]

The third day since Ethan disappeared.

Sophia hasn't eaten much in almost two days.

On the first day, she didn't get through to Ethan's house and thought he was really away on the road.

But the next day, she heard some rumors that Ethan was dead.

The next day's newspaper, in addition to reporting on the aurora at sea that night, also reported that Ethan seemed to be missing.

Because the reporters couldn't find him anymore.

Problems also arose in his industries.

His handicraft factory has been closed, and some hotels and bars have also suspended operations.

Some tabloids even directly said that he was killed by his enemies, and that all his core members were also killed.

The surname Pauletta has been removed from Winster.

Sophia never read these tabloids, but now she has to get information from them.

She still didn't believe that Ethan was the leader of some mafia, but she was still worried about his life or death.

She also sent people out to the Pauletta Manor to inquire about the situation more than once.

But I was rejected every time.

Today, the servant came back and told him that there seemed to be no one left in the manor.

All these conditions made it impossible for her to eat.

What's worse is that her father also seems to be in big trouble. He either locks himself in the study or wanders outside all day.

She suddenly seemed to have become the most pitiful and helpless little girl in the world.

And Ned was indeed in big trouble.

He is indeed the master of the Court of Justice and one of the most powerful people in Winston. Under normal circumstances, no one can pose any threat or harm to him.

Even Consul Osvaldo.

But here comes Solomon.

He could now confirm that Solomon was coming for him.

Recently, a large number of his subordinates have been investigated.

Including some businessmen and lawyers who are close to him.

Although Solomon has not touched him yet, it does not mean that he will really let him go.

This is the Kingdom Security Bureau.

He was now so overwhelmed that he had no energy to care about other things, such as Ethan.

He naturally knew that something had happened to Ethan.

But he could hardly save himself.

Also, it wouldn't be bad if Ethan really died.

That way, at least his secrets would be less exposed.

--------

When someone is sad, someone else will naturally be happy.

On the third day after Ethan disappeared.

Aberlin was re-drafted by Marvin and would once again return to the Prohibition Bureau.

Yes, he was reinstated.

There are two reasons.

First, Marvin more or less understood that Vincent’s disappearance, and Ethan’s subsequent disappearance, were somehow related to Aberlin.

This is a reward of some sort.

Second, after Ethan disappeared, Winster's situation changed again.

It was originally a false triangle, but in reality it was a confrontation between two strong forces.

Now that one of the strong ones is gone, there will be only one dominant company left.

The remaining George from the Evans family is totally not good enough.

While the loss of Ethan had eliminated some of the bootlegging power, the absence of Sandro wasn't necessarily a weakening factor. The Prohibition Bureau might face even more severe challenges.

Marvin really had no one else available, so he had to invite Aberlin back.

However, before Aberlin officially resumed his post, Marvin had an in-depth conversation with him.

"Aberlin, just because I'm willing to let you come back doesn't mean I've forgiven you. Listen, put away your previous behavior and use your wisdom instead of letting it run rampant."

"Yes, sir." Aberlin saluted Marvin in a very formal manner.

In fact, there was no remorse in his eyes behind his glasses.

"One more thing, are you involved in any way with the Sun God Cult?"

Marvin is not a fool. He went to the scene that day and felt some of the atmosphere of the Sun God Cult.

Vincent's disappearance is definitely related to the Sun God Cult.

"Don't worry, sir, it's just a cooperation. Haven't they left?" Abberlin said this, walked to the window and looked at the sea in the distance.

The aurora that night was really beautiful.

Ethan, did you sleep well under the sea?

"That's better. You should understand how sensitive the Sun God Cult is." Marvin didn't actually believe it, but since things had come to this, he didn't say anything.

He hoped that Aberlin would prioritize.

"Why don't we discuss a new action plan? I heard Sandro is planning something big..."

Sandro did make a big move.

He has already begun to unify the entire underground forces in Winster.

The third day since Ethan disappeared.

In fact, the entire Winster underground world has been in chaos.

The Pauletta family was in extreme panic.

No one knew where Ethan went.

More importantly, Anya and Velen are all gone.

The only one left was Palen, who was considered half his own man by Ethan, but he knew nothing.

Originally, he had been doing well these days. With his playful personality and abilities, he was very popular among the ladies and gentlemen in Winster.

He had almost forgotten that he was a member of the mafia and felt that he had entered the upper class.

As a result, Ethan disappeared.

The first to find him was Huskar.

These days, they can be considered comrades-in-arms, going through life and death together in the bar, and they have charmed countless young girls and young women.

Haska was also very anxious at this time. He was originally driven down from the position of the five major families. Now Ethan was missing, and he was most likely dead.

What should he do?
George is still alive...

"How about we go find Sandro?"

Haska's hands were shaking as he smoked.

The meaning of his words was very clear, which was to join Sandro and help him completely swallow up the entire Poretta family.

Now that Ethan is gone, they are actually very powerful figures.

"I...I won't go."

Palen was also shaking. He actually wanted to escape from Winster right now and go anywhere. Anyway, he had saved a lot of money these days.

But he remembered the dinner at the Pauletta estate that day.

That night, he chose to be with Ethan.

Do you really want to leave?
Is Ethan really dead?
In fact, Palen didn't want to believe it in his heart.

He was afraid of Ethan at first, but later on, he actually began to secretly admire this man who was obviously younger than him.

He is invincible.

Will he really die so quietly?
While the two were still struggling with whether to stay or go, the smart man had already arrived outside Sandro's castle.

Facing Emilio who was waiting outside, the man lowered his head slightly and said humbly, "Please announce that Eugenide of the Poretta family has come to see Mr. Sandro!"
