Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 96 [Tutoring]

Ethan didn't ask much about why Vincent had something like true blood.

Just like Vincent said: "We all have secrets. Just like I won't ask why you are the King of the North Sea, you shouldn't ask why I have true blood. You just need to know that I will always love you and I will always love my family."

To be honest, Ethan was touched.

The throbbing that came from his blood was enveloping him.

Even if this bloodline did not belong to him originally, it now belongs to him.

His last name was Pauletta.

After dinner, Ethan did not rest, but went to the moonshine factory.

He was not going to inspect the production of grape bricks, but to pick up a Winster typewriter.

He must ensure the quality and produce a perfect sample.

Because this gun is to be given to someone.

The person who sent it was, of course, Solomon, the special operations officer of the Kingdom Security Bureau who came from the capital.

Today, the little thing Solomon talked to him about was...

Winster typewriter.

"I heard you developed a firearm that can fire continuously and with incredible power. Such a weapon should be contributed to the kingdom. Letting the kingdom use it on the front lines of the battlefield is the best place for it to go, isn't it?"

"of course."

Ethan couldn't refuse this time.

After all, it was Solomon who proposed it, and he is a real big shot.

Fortunately, Solomon is a big man who is reasonable and abides by the rules.

So Ethan didn't get nothing.

"Of course. I'm a rule-abiding person. I like equal exchange. So, if you contribute this weapon to the kingdom, the kingdom will also give you a chance to have a partial monopoly. In the northern part of the kingdom, you can have the exclusive right to manufacture and sell this weapon. How do you do that?"

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency."

In fact, to be honest, Ethan actually made money in this business, not a loss.

Because he obtained the right to manufacture and sell weapons, even if it was just this one weapon.

Remember, the rules can change.

As long as we have this entry ticket, it is not impossible to manufacture and sell other weapons in the future.

But in the kingdom, it is not easy to be an arms dealer.

Ethan had this idea in mind when he designed the Winster typewriter.

But after getting a detailed understanding of the market, he gave up temporarily.

Because the water is so deep here, it is difficult to obtain the right to manufacture and sell weapons. I don’t know how many people are eyeing this piece of meat.

It would be extremely difficult for him, a gangster, to get involved in this business.

Unexpectedly, today, by some chance, it was done.

So Ethan took this matter very seriously.

To open a weapons factory, a suitable sponsor is crucial, which makes his demand for Huoyan increasingly greater, and he must poach him.

Ethan worked hard in the moonshine factory all night and returned home satisfied.

Early the next morning, he personally delivered the special edition Winster typewriter to the hotel where Solomon was staying.

After returning home and having breakfast, Ethan was planning to take a nap and then get up to continue painting.

Then I received a call from Sophia.

"Ethan, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come to my house today? The weather is nice today, we can have some tea in the garden and discuss painting skills."

Sophia was a little cautious.

Although Ethan was a little sleepy, going to Sophia's house was a very important matter.

So he agreed, but he didn't ask if her father was home.

This is too deliberate.

No matter if you are there or not, once there is a first time, there will always be a second time.

You'll always encounter it once.

So he immediately started packing and washing up, and specially picked out a pink coat that looked particularly eye-catching in winter.

This naturally caused Anya's strong dissatisfaction, but she still helped Ethan complete all the preparations and even picked up the gifts.

Sophia loves sweets, chocolates, as well as designer brooches and small jewelry.

Ethan had already found out.

Everything was ready, and Ethan set off directly to Sophia's house.

Actually, to be honest, the two families are not that far apart.

Because Sophia's family is also in the east of the city, but her father is the chief judge, so naturally he lives in the most central and luxurious residential area, which is different from the peripheral manor like Ethan's family.

There are even special guards patrolling near their houses around the clock.

That is the self-defense force under the city hall.

Ethan also passed the inspection and arrived at Sophia's door smoothly.

Sophia was already waiting at the door. She had obviously dressed up specially today, with delicate makeup and light-colored clothes. She seemed to think Ethan would like this color.

"Ethan, welcome. Please go to the lounge for some tea. I'll call her when you leave."

Anya opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and followed Sofia's servants away.

Sophia led Ethan towards the garden.

Sophia's house is actually not much bigger than Ethan's, but it is more exquisite, with more sophisticated furnishings and architecture.

As they walked, Sophia said, "My father is also home today, but he's working in the study right now. If he's free later, I'll introduce you to him."

"my pleasure."

In the garden, refreshments and easels are ready.

There is not much sunshine today, but it is not snowing either, and the sky is clear.

The two sat down to drink tea and talk about surrealism for a while, and then Sophia asked Ethan to paint a portrait of her.

Ethan naturally did not refuse.

Moreover, a portrait cannot be completed in a short time, which also gives Ethan a reason to continue coming to Sophia's house.

The painting officially began, and Sophia sat there for Ethan to observe.

When the outline of the painting was almost finished, Ethan inadvertently saw a man standing in a corner of the garden, looking at this side quietly.

Sophia also saw the man.

She was not panicked or afraid at all. Instead, she stood up, ran quickly, threw herself into the man's arms, and called him "Dad" affectionately.

The man ruffled Sophia's hair lovingly.

It can be seen that he loves his daughter very much.

The man looked to be under fifty, had an elegant mustache, and was dressed in retro Old World court casual attire. He stood there with an extraordinary demeanor.

This person is naturally the man Ethan wants to meet.

The big boss behind John Holt, the chief judge sitting in the middle chair in the Winston Courtroom.

Ned Shire.

Ethan had also put down his paintbrush and looked at him with respect.

"Dad, let me introduce you. This is my friend and teacher, an artist who has become very famous in Winster recently, Ethan."
