Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 88 [The Qualitative Change of the 'Name of the True God']

The phone rang half an hour later.

The person who called could only be Sandro.

"Ethan, welcome back. I'm glad you're still alive. I heard everything is going well?"

"It went very smoothly. Now our business will be unimpeded again."

"That's good. By the way, George is here with me. I think since everything is going well, we should have a meeting. There's a banquet at the City Hall tomorrow. Let's meet there. John and the others will be there too. Oh, and Clay will be there too. What do you think?"

"See you then."

"See you then. You've worked so hard for so long. Take a good rest and enjoy today."

"Thank you."

The phone hangs up.

Ethan rubbed his chin.

Sandro is indeed an old fox.

His arrangements were flawless.

The meeting place was arranged at the city hall because it was no one's territory and Ethan's safety could be guaranteed.

He also mentioned bringing Clay along.

Clay is someone Ethan can trust, which is a plus for his safety.

He also said that John Holt and others would be there, which meant that he still wanted to talk about business.

But George is still alive...

"Go tell Velen to temporarily halt the offensive and come back for lunch."

Ethan thought for a while and then said to Anya.

Anya obeyed the order and left. Vincent ate an apple beside her until he ate the core. He said, "I'll go tomorrow too."

Ethan nodded. Everything seemed normal at the moment.

But still be careful.

After a while, Anya came back.

Ethan thought for a moment and said, "Is Haskar still underground? Bring him to see me."

Five minutes later, Haska once again demonstrated what it meant to shed tears.

He hugged Ethan and wailed loudly: "Ethan, my friend, you have to help me get revenge. I have lost everything. Damn old Santi and Danny, they destroyed everything I had..."

"Don't worry, Haska, my friend, I will definitely help you. I have a meeting tomorrow, and I will discuss this with Sandro."

"That's great, but... don't I have to go?" Haska said, a little confused, or pretending to be confused.

"Of course, if you want to go, but George is still alive, are you sure you want to go?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"Oh... then... I'll just wait for your news at home." Haska smiled awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Huska, my friend. I know what you mean. I will help you fight for your family's territory."

Ethan patted his shoulder.

"I really don't know what to say, Ethan, you are just like my own brother." Haska hugged Ethan tightly again.

"You are so tired, enjoy this rare vacation."

"Thank you."

Huskar was sent away.

Ethan was thinking deeply.

Originally, Huskar was a good card he had prepared.

This is to deal with the situation where there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

But now that George is still alive, this card cannot be played.

But, he is still useful.

Ethan spent the rest of the day returning calls.

Although he had already greeted everyone before leaving for Shengkuang, saying that he was going on a long journey.

But he had been gone for too long. First, as for Winchester University, Wei Lun said that while he was away, El had called several times.

They said they wanted to invite him to give lectures at school.

There was another call from Gustav. He didn't say anything, just urged Ethan to go to school quickly.

Apparently, he had resolved all the real names and was in desperate need of more.

Others are invitations to banquets and events.

What Ethan didn't expect was that Sophia called him several times.

Ethan called El back first.

"Thank God you're back, Ethan. That's great."

"Dean El, I heard that you want me to..."

"That's right, but it's not my idea. It's the school's idea. The school wants to officially hire you as a special guest lecturer on Fantasy Art."

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

This was exactly what Ethan wanted. The purpose of his going to school was to improve his status. Now he could go directly from a student to a lecturer, which saved him a lot of effort.

Then they talked about the salary and other things. El still invited Ethan to go to school first to discuss the school anniversary later.

Ethan asked him to help tell Gustav that he would go to see him in two days.

Afterwards, he responded to several invitations and calls for banquets.

Finally, there's Sophia.

"Ethan, where have you been these days?"

"Oh, I went on a long business trip. What's the matter?"

"Oh..." Sophia's tone seemed a little disappointed. "Well, Ethan, something unfortunate happened in San Quanti recently, and many people were displaced. I think we should help them. I've contacted a lot of artists and my parents' friends. I want to hold a charity dinner. I wonder if you can come?"

"Of course, no problem. What time do you need me to do?"

"Actually, you don't need to do anything. Just come and participate. I'll contact you later."

Sophia hung up the phone, but Ethan began to think that he could actually paint a picture.

After dealing with some trivial matters that arose during his absence, Ethan finally had some time for himself.

He called out the 'name of the true God' once again.

At this time, the 'name of the true God' has changed.

It has undergone a qualitative change from its original extremely deep black to purple.

Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Its color turned light pink, like a flower blooming in the black mud.

Its content has also changed, from the original 'initiator and protector of violence' to 'controller and protector of violence'.

This is a fundamental improvement.

This was also the reason why Ethan sent old Santi and Danny to their deaths with just a few words today.

His understanding and grasp of violence has become more profound.

But correspondingly, the branch engraved with the real name of the 'King of the North Sea' has become withered.

It was this that continuously supplied nutrients, allowing Ethan's 'True Name of God' to be reborn, but its own color had already faded, and even the true name itself was blurred.

I believe it won't be long before it withers.

But Ethan didn't feel sorry at all, after all, this thing didn't belong to him in the first place.

The only thing that interested him was the real name "King of the North Sea" itself.

What exactly is the 'King of the North Sea'? Why is it hidden in that extremely cold place? How did it come to be obtained by Saint Kuangti, and ultimately trigger this series of events?

In fact, looking back at the San Quanti pollution incident now...

"Someone instigated this pollution." Vincent said while drinking tea, as if he had guessed what Ethan was thinking.

　Second update!
