Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 147 [Final Goal]

March 20th.

Following the land reclamation plan, the reconstruction plan of San Quanti was finally put on the agenda.

Unlike the land reclamation plan, no one will oppose the San Quanti reconstruction plan.

The City Hall also arranged a grand launching ceremony for the reconstruction of San Quanti.

Many citizens came spontaneously to see the departing team off.

I don’t know whether it was because Victor was short of manpower or because Osvaldo really kept his promise this time, but he actually didn’t let the Brotherhood of Steel get involved in this matter.

At the same time, at the departure ceremony, Ethan, as the main investor in the reconstruction plan of San Quanti, delivered a speech.

He said that this time he would set out with the expedition team, taking the orphans of San Quang Ti back to their hometown to pay tribute to the souls of their deceased relatives, and plant seeds there. When San Quang Ti is built next year, those seeds will grow into new trees and flowers.

These words naturally resonated greatly, and reporters once again turned their cameras to Ethan.

He will undoubtedly be a star on the headlines again in the coming days.

After the ceremony, the team officially set off.

Ethan really didn't lie, he also set off.

He also took care of many children from the orphanage, including Mia and her brother Krenzo.

The convoy slowly drove out of Winster, running on the thawed road.

"Ethan, that's great. This is our first time hanging out together, right? Have you ever been to San Quanti? How was that?"

There was not only Ethan and Anya in the car, but also Sophia.

She followed along.

Because she was one of the initiators of that charity dinner, and it can even be said that she was the initiator of the San Quanti reconstruction plan.

There were also many reporters accompanying the team this time.

So Ethan took her with him.

Sophia was very excited and her heart was beating fast, because this was her first time traveling with Ethan, away from home, her parents, and servants.

Only them.

Maybe... this time, they will have different changes?

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ethan next to her.

Then she noticed that Ethan's expression was a little serious. She immediately seemed to have thought of something and said, "I'm sorry, Ethan, I didn't mean that. I know this is not a spring outing. I just..."

"It's okay, Sophia. We can just treat it as a spring outing. We don't have to keep repeating the suffering."

Ethan said this, but his eyes were looking at the rearview mirror.

In the rearview mirror, Winston was getting farther and farther away.

What are the people in Winster thinking about his departure?

------------

"Joseph, this is a great opportunity! Ethan actually left Winster on his own at this time. If we can raid his core industries, such as his famous winery, we will definitely catch him red-handed! Not only can we find out that he's evading taxes, but we can also find out that he's trafficking in illegal liquor..."

As soon as Frank heard that Ethan had left Winster for San Quanti, he rushed to the temporary base of the Kingdom Statistics Bureau, excitedly knocked on the door of Joseph's office, and began to give him advice enthusiastically.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. When he thought about Ethan giving him such an opportunity out of nowhere, he couldn't help but want to cheer.

He couldn't wait to see Ethan thrown into jail and begging for mercy like a dead dog.

But he soon discovered one thing, that is, his brother Joseph had not spoken the whole time.

He couldn't help but glance at Joseph.

Joseph continued to look at him with a kind smile, as if to encourage him to continue.

"Joseph, you also think I'm right, right? So we..."

"You're right, Frank, you're a genius." Joseph seemed to be still praising him until he said the word "but".

"But, please don't teach me how to do things, okay?"

Joseph seemed to still be smiling, and his tone was very gentle, but Frank couldn't help but think of when he was a child, Joseph was smiling like this and starved his most beloved dog to death.

"Joseph, I'm sorry. I'm just giving you a suggestion. Uh, you don't have to adopt it. I'm leaving first. Sorry." Frank seemed to want to escape in the end.

When Frank completely disappeared, the captain couldn't help but say, "Chief, I think your brother has some truth in what he said. No matter why Ethan suddenly left Winster, this is a good opportunity."

"Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity." Joseph nodded, but then shook his head. "But it's not enough, Steve. It's far from enough. Our target is some moonshine, a moonshine factory, right? Don't forget our ultimate goal. Remember the first lesson I taught you?"

"Never deviate from the original path." The captain called Steve immediately stood at attention and recited loudly.

"very good."

at the same time.

Holiday Sunshine Hotel.

Still on that balcony.

Victor was still basking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze.

It has hardly rained in Winster these days, and the sun is shining brightly every day.

It's not so much that he's basking in the sun here, but rather that he's absorbing some energy from the sunlight.

"So, now that he's gone, what are we going to do?"

Victor glanced at Osvaldo who was also basking in the sun and said.

"Of course we have to do something." Osvaldo took a sip of the fruit wine and looked quite relaxed.

"I'll take some men to his lair tonight?"

"No, there's no need to be so drastic. Don't forget our ultimate goal." Osvaldo shook his head. "Besides, couldn't he have thought of this? Maybe he was just waiting for us to do this. He's not stupid. What we need to do is simple. No matter why he left Winster, he must want to do something. So, we just have to prevent him from doing it and force him to come back."

"Force him to come back?"

"Yeah." Osvaldo drank the last of his fruit wine, stood up, stretched, and said, "Well, I'm leaving now. I really envy you for being able to bask in the sun while I have to deal with endless mundane affairs."

"Then let's switch?" Victor stared at him.

"Okay, there's a reporter who wants to write a biography about me, please help me deal with him." Osvaldo seemed to be really not planning to leave.

"Forget it. I hate reporters the most. As expected, I still prefer life in this body of mine." Victor said as he lay down completely on the chair and put on sunglasses. He was going to sleep.
