Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 128 [A Voice]

In fact, there is another detail in Ned's incident, which is also the reason why Ethan can finally help him get rid of the crime.

This detail was also confirmed after Solomon's men thoroughly searched the entire Sandro castle.

This detail is——

Sandro is the real man in black robe.

Those black robes found in Principal Lauren Ross's office were actually all framed by Sandro.

Ned said, "...You know that Loren's public identity is the King of Winters. The original plan was for him to disappear and kill Sandro so that our new member, Ethan, could take over. But Sandro didn't die, but he disappeared. Even Solomon's investigation was directed towards me..."

"Based on this, I suspect that Sandro killed Loren and then misled me about everything..."

After listening to Ned's words, the last piece of the confusing puzzle of the events that started from San Quanti was basically completed.

After the San Quanti incident, Lauren prepared to leave Winster in order to prevent their organization from being exposed.

Before leaving, he was entrusted by Ned to kill Sandro before leaving.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated Sandro's strength and was killed by Sandro.

Sandro then framed Loren as the man in black, leading Solomon to set his sights on Ned.

Because if the man in black robe is Loren, the most likely person to be the King of Winter is Ned, the Lord of the Hall of Justice.

And it just so happens that Ned is really not clean.

If it weren't for Ethan, the unstable factor that disrupted the whole situation.

So, the final result of this incident was that Ned was caught, and Sandro completely got out of the matter. He also unified the underground world of Winster by the way.

And, it hardly attracted much attention.

Everything seems to be going smoothly.

In fact, everything was all his calculation.

Even afterward, Ethan couldn't help but want to applaud Sandro.

As expected of a man who could stand underground in Winster for decades, his chess games were magnificent and impeccable.

As Solomon took away the things in the castle, Ethan and the others were released.

Because apart from the proof that Ethan and his men had engaged in a bloody battle with Sandro's men in the castle, there was no evidence to prove that they were related to the King of the North Sea.

Solomon is indeed a reasonable and rule-abiding man, and he has no interest in gang fights.

He was only concerned with the safety of the kingdom.

Watching Solomon's men walking away on the shore, Ethan also walked out of the castle. He squinted his eyes at the slightly dazzling sun, then tidied up his clothes which were already tattered, and began to walk towards the shore.

On the shore, in addition to the subordinates of the big and small bosses, there were more newspaper reporters.

Since yesterday, they received news that something big had happened in Sandro's castle, but they still couldn't get in.

Now that the castle drawbridge was lowered and someone came out from inside, they naturally surrounded them like bloodthirsty sharks.

In particular, the person who came out was not unfamiliar to them at all.

It was the artistic genius, Ethan Porletta, who had been missing for several days.

Those who are familiar with the inside story of Winster's underground world know more clearly what the significance of Ethan walking out of Sandro's castle is.

The king of black mud has changed.

----

At noon that day, all kinds of special news were flying all over the place.

Basically, it is written based on Ethan's first-hand interview materials. Ethan naturally would not answer with unofficial statements, he gave the most pure official answer.

Feast, murder, counterattack.

Everyone actually knows the truth, so when reading the reports, those who understand will naturally understand what dark truth is hidden under the high-sounding words.

Of course, some tabloids had no scruples and directly wrote about the fact that Ethan ascended to the throne of the underground king.

No matter what, no matter how turbulent the situation is in the black mud, the lives of ordinary people are still moving forward steadily.

At most, after dinner, everyone will talk about these stories that seem close at hand but are actually out of reach.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the Prohibition Bureau was holding a small-scale mourning ceremony.

Mourning the passing of Prohibition agent Aberyn Court.

That day, Aiberlin drove to Sandro's castle alone. Although Marvin sent people to chase him, he was still a step too late. When they arrived, Aiberlin's head had been blown off.

Originally, this kind of murder of a Prohibition agent should be thoroughly investigated, especially since it happened in the street. It was really outrageous.

They also have some idea who the murderer is.

However, this matter eventually came to nothing, or was completely blocked, and only a small group of people knew about it.

The reason is that they also found some things at the scene.

Those things were enough to prove that Aberlin was secretly colluding with the Sun God Cult and that there were a lot of illegal transactions.

This is something that is enough to touch their own interests.

So, Marvin covered up the incident, and Aberlin's death eventually ended in a car accident.

But the hatred for the Pauletta family will only grow, not dissipate.

Especially now, the underground of Winster is dominated by the surname Pauletta.

"Boss, I think we need reinforcements."

Standing in front of Aberlin's grave, Marvin's men spoke to him.

Indeed, given the current situation, it would be difficult for them to cause any harm to Ethan alone.

Marvin, who originally regarded Sandro as his biggest rival, now accepted his fate.

"I have submitted a new transfer order to headquarters. I hope they can send us capable companions."

What Marvin didn't know was that there was indeed help coming towards Winster, but in a way he didn't want.

In the afternoon of the same day.

George, the head of the Evans family who narrowly escaped the castle battle, ended his life in a way he didn't want.

He drowned in his own swimming pool.

Before he died, the servants of the Evans family seemed to hear him shouting. At first he was begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, but later he roared with all his might, as if he was shouting something like "My main clan has sent people from the royal capital, they will be here soon, if you kill me, you will be finished!"
But no one showed him mercy, and he died anyway.

At this point, the original five major families of Winster completely disappeared.

Those surnames that were either dazzling or brilliant in Winster's history have either completely perished, moved away, or become mediocre.

The fragile balance that had maintained history for hundreds of years no longer exists.

Now, Winster has one and only one voice.

Pauletta.
