Instigator and Protector of Violence-Chapter 359: Make It Look Good

When the summer heat once again enveloped the Royal Capital.

Ethan had already left the city before the sun fully rose.

He went home.

Wenster.

He left by ship, not the Sea God, but one of its sizable auxiliary vessels.

No matter what Ethan's relationship with the Sea God Sect was like, he had a good relationship with the Sea God.

At least, when Charlie drank with him last time, he didn't say anything about it.

Before leaving, Ethan naturally made arrangements.

Mainly on Herlosh and Vasini's side.

Herlosh gained some room for flexibility, but Ethan still told him he must stay in touch and be able to receive news from Wenster anytime.

News from the film crew.

Ethan took the entire crew with him.

This time, he went to Wenster to reshoot some important scenes.

Initially, he wanted to invite Princess Aine Beize to join, but of course, she couldn't.

As she said on the ship that day, the Royal Capital was a grand and magnificent cage, and she couldn't escape.

Without the important figure of the Princess, fewer people were willing to accompany him, besides the main creative team, only Pupol and some artists from the Mirror Gallery were willing to join.

At this time, they were having brunch on the deck while admiring the beautiful scenery of sea and sky.

Pupol was still calling Ethan to join them.

But Ethan shook his head, continuing to watch the Royal Capital grow distant.

He was experiencing the distance between himself and Vasini.

Indeed, the power of his 'True God's Name' was still insufficient to sense Vasini from anywhere.

As the Royal Capital grew further away, his perception became weaker.

By the time he returned to Wenster, there would probably only be a faint connection left.

Ethan was somewhat worried in this regard, but there was still Joseph and Johnny Blackbird in the Royal Capital, so things shouldn't go too badly.

Indeed, Johnny Blackbird didn't leave; he didn't follow Ethan to Wenster but stayed in the Royal Capital.

Too many eyes were watching Ethan; he couldn't board the ship.

So he could only entrust a letter to Ethan to take to West.

In addition to the letter from Johnny Blackbird, there were also a bunch from Lady Sosde for Ethan to deliver to Sofia.

Three large boxes, Ethan didn't know what was inside, but they were to be delivered intact to Sofia.

Ethan had no desire to open them and continued to gaze at the sea.

His advice to Johnny Blackbird was to lie low for now and wait until he returned from Wenster to decide on the next steps.

After that night, Johnny Blackbird's reputation soared to another level.

Now, in the minds of the underclass in the Royal Capital, he was practically a hero, a chivalrous figure.

Because he only attacked the nobles and the wealthy.

People felt he was speaking out for the injustices suffered by the lower classes.

Thus, more eyes naturally focused on him.

The Eldest Prince and the Royalist Faction even wished to take his life immediately.

Johnny Blackbird knew this, too; he wasn't reckless and listened to advice.

So he just said to Ethan, "I'll take a good rest, consider it a vacation. Oh, remember to tell West, I love her."

Ethan couldn't stand his sudden cheesiness, so he ignored him and quickly left.

If anyone was most saddened by Ethan's departure from the Royal Capital, it would undoubtedly be the newspaper reporters.

Without Ethan, half the news was gone.

No matter what they thought, Ethan had indeed left the Royal Capital.

——————————

Meanwhile.

Inside the Kingdom Club.

In the meeting room specially opened for the Eldest Prince.

Today, the key people at the Eldest Prince's disposal were all present.

Among them, Heisenberg's expression was the most unpleasant, and his mood was the lowest.

It could be said that he was responsible for the rainy night's war, which ended in a complete defeat.

Not only did he lose the entire South District, but he also let the crucial Johnny Blackbird escape.

"All the blame is on me; it's my fault; please punish me, Your Highness."

Hearing this, the Eldest Prince, Havenius, still smiled, and while smiling, he came up to Heisenberg and said, "I'm not the director of the Kingdom Defense Bureau; how could I punish you? Besides, everyone makes mistakes; it's unnecessary to be like this, Heisenberg. I've always valued your excellence; this time, it was just some unexpected events."

Heisenberg didn't respond to this, still lowering his head.

Havenius turned around, looking at the usually silent 'Observation' Master.

"Master, do you have any findings?"

"Ethan."

The 'Observation' Master briefly uttered two words.

Hearing this name, Heisenberg's lowered eyes slightly moved.

Jonas, sitting beside, also pursed his lips.

The Eriman Clan's eldest son, White, having just lost his brother, finally spoke.

"Ethan just left the Royal Capital, went back to his hometown, Wenster, a place no one cares about. If he dies there, who will know?"

"He is, after all, a Kingdom celebrity, a great artist, and this time he took a group to shoot a film, Pupol included."

Jonas reminded.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

White was a bit fierce.

The Eriman Clan was unlike the Evans Clan; they didn't suffer fraternal strife, and the brothers' relationship was very good.

So, White was truly heartbroken over Jesse's death.

Moreover, after that night, their Eriman Clan's most loyal henchman, Sea King Lockeby, unexpectedly betrayed them.

The infamous hand-cutting apology wasn't sanctioned or agreed upon by the Eriman Clan.

They were also caught unprepared.

By the time Lockeby completed the act, it was too late for anything.

White sent people to question Lockeby.

Lockeby returned the person with their tongue cut off to the Eriman family.

It was a complete betrayal.

Afterwards, White wanted to hold Lockeby accountable but found that Lockeby had already pledged allegiance to the Second Prince, Adrian.

Just like that, their family lost a vast territory in the Port District, and even future maritime business would no longer be as free.

So, White, filled with multiple hatreds, wanted Ethan dead.

"Is this a good idea? Actually, I quite admire Ethan; if he dies, I'll be sad, and so will my sister."

The Eldest Prince seemed caught in a dilemma, tapping his fingers on the table, as if deep in thought.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Alright, we can't wrong our own people. We'll just have to wrong Ethan a little; remember, do it cleanly."
