Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 53 [Eyes]

The dispute was put on hold.

Ramon took his men away.

But naturally, Ethan's participation in the school anniversary celebration had to be put on hold for the time being.

Lauren said he was sorry, but Ethan could feel the scrutiny in his eyes.

What is he expecting too?
After leaving the principal's office, El finally spoke. He seemed a little angry, a little upset, and helpless. Finally, he said, "Ethan, how could you..."

"Don't worry, Dean El, I'm very confident. Besides, don't you also think I'm an artistic genius?"

"That being said..." El wanted to say something else.

Ethan has already said his goodbyes.

Sophia followed.

"Mr. Ethan..."

"What's wrong?" Ethan looked at her.

This is really a very simple girl, and she is well protected by her family.

"What Dean Ramon said is not true, right?" Although she asked this, Ethan looked at her anxious eyes and knew the answer she wanted.

"Of course not. I have always been a law-abiding citizen. I don't know why Dean Ramon would target me."

Ethan's tone sounded somewhat innocent.

"That's good." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief. "I believe in you, Ethan, too. After all, your paintings are so spiritual. Oh, and I've actually been invited to the school celebration, but I just feel like my paintings aren't good enough. I wonder when you're free? We can make an appointment and ask you to take a look at my paintings for me."

"Of course, no problem. I'm happy to help. You can call me Ethan."

"Okay, Ethan, you can call me Sophia too."

Ethan then exchanged phone numbers with her so that they could make an appointment later.

"By the way, Ethan, if you're really in trouble, maybe I can help you, because my father... he has some influence in the Court of Justice."

"Thank you, Sophia, but I hope that day won't come."

Wait until Sophia leaves too.

Ethan glanced at Anya and said, "Let's check on that Ramon. He wouldn't target me for no reason. I always have a bad feeling."

The two did not leave Winster University directly.

After all, since I was already here, I might as well go to Gustav's laboratory.

It can be seen that Gustav has not left the laboratory for the past two days. He looks a little sloppier, and there is leftover dry bread on the table next to him.

It wasn't until Ethan and the others walked up to him that he began to react.

I looked up and saw Ethan. His originally numb eyes suddenly burst into light.

"You're here. That's great. That's great. Wait a moment longer. I'll be able to decipher the last word soon, and then you can give me the new one."

Gustav said, handing Ethan a piece of paper.

Above are the meanings of the ancient language words that he has deciphered.

Ethan looked at it and used it to decipher the sun-related real names in his memory. He was actually able to partially decipher a part of the next two real names.

Judging from the paper, Gustav also classified these words, and he was obviously trying to make something like an alphabet.

If it is really made, then the ancient language will be easy for Ethan.

It's only been two days.

Ethan couldn't help but sigh, this is genius.

Without waiting for Gustav to figure out the follow-up, Ethan left his new real name and left.

After all, this is a big project and we cannot expect to complete it overnight.

--------

Time flies, and another two days have passed.

During these two days, Ethan's bootlegging business continued unimpeded, and the Prohibition agents seemed to have forgotten him. Their firepower was all on other people.

The Evans family's losses continued. Although two hotels resumed operations, an underground distillery was closed down.

However, the Murrich family's business was back in business, and John Holt acted quickly.

Haska was very grateful to Ethan for this.

Ethan also gave him a new idea: selling alcohol could be made more private and included in additional services, so as to prevent it from being discovered.

Haska was so impressed by the idea that he even wanted to share the profits with Ethan.

Ethan refused. He didn't care about such petty profits.

In addition, Sofia called and made an appointment to meet him in four days.

Also, Anya spent a lot of effort to check Ramon, but didn't find much useful information.

Ramon, who had been teaching at the University of Winchester for a long time, took over the position of Dean of the Law School after Lauren was promoted to President.

He rarely leaves school and concentrates on teaching. He doesn't have much social interaction outside of school, and at most he goes to church to worship.

He was a devout Sun God believer, and his style of work in school was very strict and serious. He often used religious scriptures to require students to behave in a proper manner. He could not tolerate improper behavior and hated illegal and criminal activities.

Maybe he just couldn't stand Ethan's mafia background?
This is the only conclusion Ethan can draw for now.

Naturally, painting has to be put on the agenda.

If he wants to continue to stay at Winster University and even graduate successfully, he has to win this bet.

In the afternoon, Ethan was sketching Anya's portrait at home. He had just drawn the outline when the phone rang.

It's the winery calling, Walter.

He got the result.

"Boss, boss, I did it! I made it! This is truly a genius invention, come and take a look, I swear, with this thing, we will dominate the market!"

So Ethan had to put down his writing for the time being.

But before leaving, he still finished painting Anya's eyes.

There is no doubt that he likes Anya's eyes, which are pure, clear, and have a certain hidden beauty.

The magnificence reminded him of the night with the roar of waves.

He caught Anya as she jumped out of the window. Her body was as light as velvet, and so were her lips.

Maybe Anya was remembering that night, but she walked over and took a look at the painting, and her face seemed to flush for a moment.

Then she asked for the first time: "Master, can you give me this painting?"

"Of course, I'll give it to you when I finish it."

After finishing the final stroke, the two of them went out.

at the same time.

Far away in the Porretta Manor, a pair of eyes were looking through a telescope at this building that has gone through three generations.

These eyes soon noticed Ethan leaving in a car.

"How's it going? Have you seen your brother?"

"I saw it."

"How is it different from what you remembered?"

"He's grown up, and his eyes are different."

"Yeah, his eyes...haha, like a lion, a lion that chooses its prey." Lewis, who was standing aside, said with a hint of meaning.

But Vincent, the owner of the eyes, did not answer. He just looked at the Pauletta Manor, as if he was gently caressing this home with his eyes.
