Some american history for non-americans/ people who don't really read up on it:
This is set during the prohibition era! Prohibition started in 1919 with the 18th amendment, which was then reversed in 1933 with the 21st amendment. During this time, the production, sale, and distribution of alcohol was illegal. People found ways around it.
Maverick was a brewer before prohibition. He made a quick switch to pharmaceuticals after. Doctors at this time were able to prescribe liquor as medicine. But Maverick also sells to secret bars, called speakeasies. They became very popular in 1925.
The long awaited moment is finally here ! Gustave and Verso finally meet in person. What will happen now ? How are they going to react ? This chapter is the biggest to date, I hope you'll like it !
Aaaaaand you have it ! After more than 100 pages (god) they're finally able to talk to each other ! Sorry for the slow burn up until this point, I hope it was worth it !
The story will obviously continue, but I'm gonna take a break : first because this chapter drained me I'm not gonna lie xD (need to do something else a bit, like sleep) and also because I need a little bit of time to properly write the following chapters ! I have ideas, but I must organize them into a cool story that holds together. I hope you will like it.
