Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 136 [Before Sunset]

"Ethan, I'm so sorry. I should have discussed this with you first, but everything happened too quickly. You know I owed a lot of favors to people back in Steel City. Victor is a very good friend of mine. He also helped you with the weapons factory last time. So, let's leave it at that for now. There will be many big projects coming up. I promise there will be a place for you."

On the phone, Osvaldo's tone sounded as if he really was apologetic.

But compared to what he did, there is no such thing as an apology.

What happened today was that Osvaldo slapped Ethan hard in the face.

It was as if he was saying in front of everyone: "Don't think you are really the king of Winster. No matter how powerful you are, you still have to look at my face."

After returning home, Ethan had someone find preliminary information about Victor.

Vito Kraus, the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel in Steel City.

In other words, he is also an underground figure.

Judging from the information currently known, the time of his rise coincides with Osvaldo's tenure in Steel City, which means that he is Osvaldo's dog.

As for his suspicious surname, it is not certain whether he is really related to the Klaus family, but according to some rumors, he does seem to have some connection with the Klaus family.

Tough guy.

Especially since the other party has Osvaldo's support.

The weight of a consul...

In fact, Ethan should have been warned earlier, after all, there were rumors that Oswaldo and Ned were not on good terms.

It's just that Sandro put too much pressure on Ethan at that time. After Sandro fell, Ethan felt that he and Osvaldo had a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have listed him in the enemy camp.

He had to call Ned.

"Ethan, I've heard about what happened today. Osvaldo came after me. Don't worry, I won't let him have an easy time."

"Ah."

Although Ethan nodded, he knew very well that he couldn't rely too much on Ned for this matter.

Things in the underground world have to be solved with sufficiently underground means.

I wonder how many people are waiting outside to watch.

This is also the first official battle that Ethan fought after ascending the throne. He can only win, not lose.

At this time, Wei Lun came in from outside and said, "I found out that he is currently staying in a hotel called 'Holiday Sunshine', which is not our territory. The owner should be the son of the city hall's engineering director. He doesn't seem to have brought anyone with him. Do you want to..."

"Don't worry." Ethan glanced out the window and said, "It's still early, let's wait a little longer."

--------

at the same time.

In the Holiday Sunshine Hotel.

The largest suite.

Victor was lying on the balcony looking at the sea.

He had already taken off the extremely ill-fitting suit he had worn at City Hall that day.

Now he changed into an outfit that suited him better, suspenders and a white T-shirt. All of a sudden, his extremely strong muscles were completely highlighted.

At the same time, other special things on his body were also exposed.

His body was not entirely made up of muscles. On his streamlined body, there were fine and shiny silver metals distributed densely. They seemed to be attached to his body, or as if they had grown out of his body.

These metals were densely covered all over his body like tattoos, and the most eye-catching place was his heart, where the most metals were concentrated and there were also some devices that looked like metal pipes wrapped around it.

If you listen carefully, Victor's heart doesn't seem to be beating, but roaring like some kind of engine.

"Boss, the person is here." At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and a strong man who also looked muscular and had a cold temperament walked in and reported.

"Bring them in."

Victor shook his head casually.

Outside the door, someone was already talking impatiently.

"What do you mean? Didn't you invite us here? Why didn't you come out to greet us?"

This person's tone was quite arrogant, and it was obvious that he couldn't stand being bullied.

But despite saying this, the man still walked in reluctantly.

This person was none other than Frank, the young master of the Evans family who came from the royal capital.

After Frank entered the house, he spotted Victor on the balcony. He walked over angrily and demanded, "Is this how you treat guests?"

"Don't get excited. Young master from the capital, please take a seat. Would you like something to drink? The fruit wine here is quite good."

As he spoke, Victor took a sip of the fruit wine next to him. After taking a sip, perhaps because his whole body temperature was too high, a faint white smoke actually rose from his whole body.

And the engine noise in his chest seemed to grow louder.

This scene stunned Frank. He was silent for a moment, then sat down and said, "I don't seem to know you."

"Don't we know each other now?" Victor glanced behind Frank again. There were George's three sons from the Evans family. They were trembling with fear and didn't dare to speak. They just smiled and nodded awkwardly.

"Excuse me, I've never heard of someone like you in the Klaus family. If you want to make a living at Winster, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Frank came from the capital after all, and he quickly regained his aura.

"But didn't I snatch it today? You should have heard about it too, right?"

Indeed, Frank and the others heard that someone had robbed Ethan's business at the City Hall this afternoon, so they came when they received the invitation.

Frank certainly didn't come to Winster just for a trip. He naturally had his own purpose and mission.

So even though his personal guards died in front of him last time, he did not choose to leave Winster.

He is waiting for an opportunity.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Don't be anxious. Have a drink first, young man. Why are you always so anxious?"

As Victor said this, Frank had already stood up.

"I'm not in the habit of wasting time."

In fact, George's three sons seemed to want to stay and talk, but they had no choice but to focus on Frank.

At this moment, the bedroom door opened and a man walked out.

"Frank, it's been a long time since we last met. The last time I saw you, you seemed to be only this tall. How is your father?"

"Are you...Osvaldo?" Frank stopped.

He seemed a little confused about the situation.

Why is the Archon here?
Although, he did hear that this foreigner named Victor was able to suppress Ethan thanks to Osvaldo's relationship.

But now, it’s...

"Please sit down first. The sun is about to set, isn't it? The sunset at the seaside in Winster is a beautiful sight that you can't miss."

Over the sea, the sun has set.
