Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 59 [Snow is Falling] (Revised)
"do not move."

Amid the sound of the tide, Ethan and Anya arrived.

They saw Vincent carrying Lewis, but they didn't understand the situation yet, so they pointed their guns at the two of them.

"Turn around slowly."

Vincent followed his instructions and slowly turned around with Lewis.

Ethan saw the face clearly.

It was a face very similar to his, but in comparison, it was rougher, more angular, mature, and much more majestic.

This man...

"Ethan, long time no see."

His voice is so strange yet familiar.

Finally, Ethan searched his mind and found a memory of his previous life.

"Vincent...are you Vincent? Are you still alive?"

Vincent Poretta, Alberto's second son, disappeared twelve years ago.

Alberto searched frantically for him for two years, but when there was no result, he finally gave up.

Most family members assumed he was dead.

Therefore, when the descendants of the Porretta family are mentioned later, only Leonardo and Ethan are assumed to be involved.

He is still alive...

"Where have you been all these years?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Ethan. Let's talk slowly after I deal with this guy."

Vincent snatched the gun from Lewis's hand and twisted it into a twist.

"That note, was it you who gave me?"

Vincent nodded.

Ethan received a note a few days ago telling him that someone was trying to harm him and that he must be careful of the day Pubol came.

He never figured out who had given the note, but the final answer turned out to be Vincent.

At this time, Lewis laughed. His jaw had been broken and he couldn't speak at first, but he actually squeezed out a few words that were bleeding.

"Ethan...even so...I still win this round...you're finished!"

"I'm finished? You mean, my handicraft factory? But Velen is there." Ethan looked at him and shook his head, as if sighing, or as if saying why are you so stupid.

"Impossible!" Lewis widened his eyes.

Absolutely not.

If Velen is at the handicraft factory, then the Cabrera family...

"Your plan is indeed a good one. You persuade Palen to betray me, then have Velen quell the rebellion and attack the handicraft factory to lure me down the mountain. Then you can kill me. By then, my reputation will be ruined and my body will be torn to pieces. It's a brilliant plan."

Ethan clapped softly.

"Unfortunately, you overlooked two points. One, Vincent, and two...Paren wouldn't dare betray me. He told me everything a long time ago."

Lewis was left gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot.

"Say goodbye to this world, Lewis."

Vincent grabbed his throat. With his strength, he could definitely crush Lewis’ throat as long as he used force.

"stop."

But the next moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the air.

When this sound rang out, it seemed that even the wind in the air and the tide behind it stopped for a moment.

At the same time, three gunshots came at the same time, shooting towards Vincent at extremely tricky angles.

After being stiff for a second, Vincent had to let go of Lewis and then dodge.

Ethan and Anya chased the source of the gunshot and fired.

"Can't hit."

Finally, the voice spoke again.

Then, a man came in front of them and protected Lewis behind him.

The bullet didn't hit him, and he even had time to dust himself off. This man, like Lewis, was wearing a black leather jacket, about twenty years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very gentle.

But Ethan still felt a frightening aura from him.

Ethan's gun was pointed at him.

"Everyone, I'm here to take my worthless colleague home. Even though he's completely worthless and even I think he's incredibly stupid, I can't let you kill him here... Hmm? You killed him?"

It was not until then that he realized that Lewis was dead. It turned out that when Vincent let him go, he actually broke his neck under gunfire.

Vincent tilted his head with an expression that made no sense.

Ethan laughed. "Agent, please don't talk nonsense. Who killed him? We only saw Agent Lewis accidentally break his neck."

"You're...fine, Ethan...Pauletta."

The agent with glasses was originally very angry, but now he started laughing. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. I'm Aberlin Court, a newly promoted Prohibition agent, just transferred from the capital. Ethan, I won't forget what happened today. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

He bowed slightly, very politely.

But the next moment, a cloud of thick smoke suddenly rose under his feet.

Ethan immediately protected Anya and retreated, sensing the malice in the smoke.

"Don't look for him anymore, he ran away."

After a while, Vincent said this in the gradually dispersing smoke.

His eyes were fixed in one direction.

There, Aberline Court was carrying Lewis's body, jumping nimbly and quickly like a jerboa, and had already run far away.

"We should have left him behind too." Vincent shook his bloody hands.

"There's always a chance." Ethan said this, but he was looking at Aberlin's back.

This man whom I just met is indeed a difficult guy to deal with.

However, there is always a way.

"I suddenly remembered that you had something important to do on the mountain today. Did you get delayed?" Vincent suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

"No, it has been completed long ago." Ethan turned his head to look at the sea cliff where Winchester University was located.

"We go home."

The snow that had been accumulating in the sky for a whole day finally fell down.

------

When the snow fell, inside the University of Winchester.

People are still waiting for Ethan's work.

The falling snowflakes attracted people's attention.

Fortunately, this dinner was held in a semi-outdoor area with a glass roof, so the snow would not fall on everyone.

But it seemed to be getting late.

It's almost half past four.

There is only half an hour left until the final time.

Some people were no longer willing to wait and found Lauren privately to say something.

Ramon happened to hear this and shouted, "Everyone, it's getting late. Why don't we send someone in to check on Ethan's progress? If he really can't finish the painting, don't waste everyone's time. After all, it will be difficult to get down the mountain if the snow gets heavy and it gets dark."

Many people present nodded. El's face looked extremely bad, and his confidence in self-hypnosis also dropped to the lowest point.

Seeing that Lauren was about to nod in agreement, El quickly said, "Principal, I'll go take a look. After all, he's my student."

Lauren nodded in agreement.

El hurried towards the classroom, trying to slow his pace down. On the one hand, he was buying time for Ethan, and on the other hand, he was really afraid to see the next result.

What if... Ethan didn't draw anything?
It wasn't until he finally walked into the classroom that his heart finally settled.

Because Ethan was no longer in the classroom.

He ran away? !
