Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 122 [Coronation Ceremony]

George was the first to arrive.

He was also the quickest to surrender.

In terms of his ability to adapt to changing circumstances, he is indeed a first-class talent.

Whether it was the original five major families becoming three major families, or the current three major families becoming the only dominant family.

He always reacts the fastest.

Even though he was still dreaming of cleaning up the mess himself and dominating Winster a few days ago.

But the situation is changing too fast, and survival is the most important thing.

He had to give up his fantasy and crawled at Sandro's feet again.

"Respected Mr. Sandro, the Evans family is willing to be incorporated into the Conti family and will obey all your orders from now on."

"George, you don't have to be like this. Your father, you, and I are all good friends, and the Evans family has a very long history..."

"Please do not reject our loyalty."

George kissed Sandro's left hand directly.

Let’s put aside these hypocritical rejections and integrations.

By that afternoon, almost all the leaders, big and small, in the Winster underground forces had surrendered to Sandro.

Sandro unified the Black Mud Dynasty without losing a single soldier and completely without bloodshed.

This also depends on the reputation he has built up over the years, and also, all the sufficiently powerful forces have disappeared.

Especially Ethan.

People always thought that Ethan would replace Sandro.

But now Ethan is dead too.

There was no more objection to Sandro becoming king.

To witness this historic moment——

Because so far in Winster's history, no one has actually truly unified the underground.

Sandro will hold a grand cocktail party in three days and invite all underground leaders to attend.

It is a celebration ceremony and also a coronation ceremony.

The news spread quickly.

The Prohibition Bureau naturally got it first.

They were absolutely not happy to see Sandro unify the underground, as that would only make his bootleg liquor empire more prosperous.

So they have begun to make new plans, and they must make a big enough noise on the day of his coronation to absolutely prevent him from being crowned smoothly.

However, at this moment, a new order suddenly came, asking them to put everything aside and cooperate with all their strength.

They could not refuse, for the order came from... Solomon.

----------

Time passed quickly.

Three days flew by.

On this day, the air in Winster was exceptionally good, and the air of spring was even more vibrant.

Some of the trees along the street even sprouted new buds.

A vibrant scene.

For ordinary citizens, this is the beginning of a beautiful spring.

But for the people in the black mud, this was the founding of a dynasty.

This spring is the best proof of this.

Most people have been completely convinced by Sandro.

They all put on their most decent clothes, did their most exquisite hairstyles, and prepared the best gifts, just to make an appearance at Sandro's coronation ceremony today.

If I were lucky enough to be noticed by Sandro, my life would be different. This is a new era.

There will definitely be new opportunities.

"Are you really not going?"

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Haska was adjusting his clothes.

In terms of appearance, he is already top-notch, and today he specially changed into a suit custom-made from an old store in the royal capital, looking absolutely dazzling.

Three days ago, they were still a step too slow and Eugenides got the upper hand and sold most of the Pauletta family's property.

When Haska received the news, he had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die.

Unexpectedly, Sandro was willing to give him a chance and let him bring the original property of the Merici family back.

He is a very weak person, not as strong as Ethan, and not even as strong as Palen.

So he decisively chose to surrender.

Palen chose not to do so.

To be honest, his determination surprised Haska, who almost doubted whether the man in front of him was still Palen.

Palen was unwilling to surrender, and he proposed to either kill him or let him go.

Sandro actually agreed and let him choose whether to leave or stay.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with submitting to Sandro. He's a pretty good man, and we still have value. We can still live our lives just fine, right?"

Haska had accepted his fate and was fixing his hair.

"Ethan's dead, there's nothing for you to be obsessed with, right? Besides, he killed your brother."

"Maybe I'm tired and don't want to live like this anymore." Palen shook his head and didn't mention that night.

Ethan did kill his brother, but Ethan also gave him a different life.

Those were days he had never dared to imagine before, the day he truly felt like a human being.

"Well, we're acquaintances, so you can stay at my house. It'll be fine. I'll send you off in a couple of days."

Palen nodded, still feeling a little depressed.

Haska finished tidying up and left.

But just as he was about to get in the car and leave, Palen suddenly chased out and said, "Wait a minute, forget it, I'll go with you, but I can't go like this. Let me prepare, bring some gifts, and there are people. We can't lose face."

"You're right. Go ahead. As a man, you have to look forward." Haska didn't know how he figured it out, but it was a good thing that he figured it out.

Half an hour later, they set off together. Palen seemed to be in better spirits, but the men he brought with him looked a little unfamiliar.

But it might have been brought from the original Cabrera family, so Haska didn't care.

Today's seaside castle may be the busiest day since Sandro bought it.

The coast was filled with all kinds of new cars, and the subordinates of Winster's bosses, both big and small, were gathered outside, chatting, smoking and watching the sea. It was quite a grand scene.

As for the castle itself, it was rarely decorated with some exquisite decorations. As for the Conti family crest, it was naturally hung in the most conspicuous position in the castle.

Actually, few outsiders know what the Conti family crest is.

Because Sandro has been very low-key in recent years and there are few real core members of the Conti family, its family emblem is not prominent.

Looking at it today, it is so domineering.

It was an extremely majestic castle guarded by two tridents.

Look carefully, isn’t this the one in front of you?

A red carpet has been laid along the long corridor.

Led by members of the Conti family in black suits, people walked towards the castle, giving the illusion that they were going to meet the king.

Haska and Palen also arrived on the red carpet.

Most of their men were left outside, with only a few helping them carry the gifts in.

The gift prepared by Palen seemed to be particularly valuable and required three people to carry it.

Haska couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. Isn't this kid's change too fast?
