Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

"Helen, prepare Plan 5."

“Okay!” Helen said, turning and going upstairs.

Hina asked curiously, "What is Plan 5?"

"Nature is the best option," said Sindwar. "It's painless, has no aftereffects, and he can heal quickly on his own. He can go back to work tomorrow after the surgery is completed today."

"That must be very expensive, right?" Sheena asked.

Sindwal smiled and said, "It's not too expensive, eight thousand Rosa coins."

“Eight thousand Rosa coins! That’s my salary for a year!” Sheena’s eyes widened.

All of Los's subordinates, including Lilith, receive salaries, since everyone needs to make a living.

As a key figure, Sheena's salary, like Daryl's, is among the higher ones in the entire hierarchy.

Of course, someone like Barlow doesn't need money, but rather a special reward.

Lewis swallowed hard after hearing this. He was penniless, and eight thousand Rosa dollars was an astronomical sum.

"Could I suffer some pain and get it cheaper?" Lewis asked tentatively.

Sindwal shook his head with a smile: "That won't do. Cheaper recovery methods are too slow. Since the mayor needs to get back to work as soon as possible, we can't afford to delay even for a moment."

"Bankers make a lot of money, so I can pay it back slowly later."

Chapter 0215 The Queen Arrives

The capital of Massa province, where Lewis was undergoing surgery.

In a high-end private hospital, Judy Charlize, accompanied by her assistant, enters a special room on the fourth floor.

Thirty-four-year-old Judy Charlemagne has reached the pinnacle of her life, single-handedly managing the businesses and finances of both the Roman and Charlemagne families. She is also a member of parliament for the Massa province, has been interviewed by the Imperial Age column, and is a role model for countless women in the Empire.

She is considered one of the most outstanding businesswomen and female politicians.

Despite holding multiple positions, Judy is not particularly busy these days. She is only responsible for making decisions on important matters and attending some meetings and events, while her three companies and the businesses of her two families are managed by dedicated personnel.

She trusted these people completely because they were all within her rules.

Judy is still young and beautiful, with a graceful and elegant demeanor and a well-proportioned figure. Coupled with her charming age, she is the most perfect noblewoman in the dreams of countless men.

Strictly speaking, her appearance hasn't changed since she turned twenty-four. The secret to maintaining her skin has always been a source of curiosity for the upper-class ladies of the capital.

Upon entering the ward, Judy removed her black veil and looked down at the five young men on the bed, asking, "What happened?"

The five people were completely wrapped in bandages, with only their eyes, noses and mouths showing. They lay on the bed and could not move freely, like five mummies.

The young man who was closer spoke in a hoarse voice: "When we disembarked and changed ships, we were attacked by the Innsmouth Fish Monster at the dock. While we were fighting the Fish Monster, two women wearing robes suddenly appeared."

"One of the women instantly released a large amount of frost, freezing us and the fish monster."

Upon hearing this, Judy frowned slightly: "Indiscriminate attack?"

The young man replied, "It's possible that it was just a coincidence. When we woke up, we found that the fish monsters were all dead, which clearly shows that they spared us."

Judy's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Was it a casual act, or a warning?"

"A warning? We haven't had any conflicts with other forces recently, so they don't want us to bring the family head back!?" The assistant pondered for a moment and said.

Judy scoffed, "Right now, the only people who don't want him to come back are the people from Arkham."

The assistant tentatively asked, "Do we need to negotiate with them?"

Judy looked at the five people on the bed and said calmly, "My people aren't people you can just move around with. Arkham is only holding David hostage because they want some benefits. We'll see if they have the ability to swallow those benefits."

The next few days passed in a mix of busyness and tranquility, with everything proceeding smoothly.

Lewis was quite capable, and after becoming the acting president, he quickly began to deal with the internal problems of Arkham Bank.

This includes business structure, staffing, departmental restructuring, and clearing up old debts, etc.

Perhaps he was born to be a banker, mastering all business operations with remarkable speed, and always able to find clues in those seemingly tangled ledgers that even Los struggled with, tracing them back to their source, and finally, with the powerful enforcement of the Arkham police, quickly correcting past mistakes and long-standing problems.

Lewis's arrival gave Los, whose finances were already in a mess, hope, and the old ledgers piled up there disappeared rapidly every day at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, the Charlemagne family, who had been attacked by Minnie and others, said they would postpone bringing David Charlemagne back, which gave Los a lot of time to catch up.

As time passed, the Empire's attention to Arkham did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it received unprecedented attention due to Her Majesty the Queen's impending arrival.

During these five days, the daily flow of people entering Arkham was twenty times that of usual. Among them were various factions and security personnel operating in the shadows, but the majority were ordinary people and journalists who had heard the news and rushed over from all over the province of Massa.

It is important to know that this queen is very well-known in the Rosas Empire. On the one hand, she is erudite and wise, but on the other hand, she is regarded as the most beautiful queen since the founding of the Rosas Empire, and the most beautiful woman in the Rosas Empire today.

Therefore, being able to see the Queen in person is a wish for many people, as well as a source of pride.

The influx of a large number of people severely tested Arkham's security capabilities. More importantly, in the face of so many outsiders, the extraordinary methods that Los had prepared could not be used properly.

Because Arkham isn't ready to show his muscles yet.

Therefore, all police officers had to disguise themselves as ordinary officers to enforce the law, transforming from the main force in law enforcement to an auxiliary force.

During this period, the gangs that truly controlled the security perimeter of Arkham were the various gangs led by the Danny gang.

Chambers, Hindwald, Kenneth, Mark, and Father Hearst all stepped in, using their power in the underworld to maintain order in Arkham.

Even so, all sorts of problems, big and small, still arose.

The city government has been robbed, police officers have been assaulted, and the sale of illegal drugs and weapons continues.

Los has absolutely no way to deal with this situation at this stage.

Arkham's current system is in a very fragile stage, and it can be said that it is in a transitional phase.

Old and outdated things haven't completely disappeared yet, and new things will need some time to emerge.

The relevant departments, their staffing and personnel are still in a mess. Temporarily established departments don't even have offices, and the responsibilities and law enforcement boundaries between departments are unclear.

There was a lack of efficiency in intelligence communication, a lack of tacit understanding, and poor writing skills, among other issues.

Under Los's personal leadership, everyone was clear about their tasks and responsibilities. However, when Los withdrew and left them to take charge of various aspects of things, their shortcomings and various problems began to emerge.

Fortunately, Arkham has two truly overpowered characters: Los and Kos.

On two separate occasions, the two men killed the hostages during an escape attempt. They also solved several other perplexing cases single-handedly, without causing significant casualties.

September 26, 1930, Tuesday, sunny.

Today, Arkham looks no different from any other day, but many police officers and government officials got up early to make preparations.

The wealthy neighborhood, represented by Elizabeth, was especially well-decorated and ready to go.

At 9:00 a.m., the Arkham North Station had been completely emptied. As a black train with gold trim slowly pulled in, the 50,000 people surrounding the station began to cheer.

Because the Queen has arrived.

Chapter 0216 gets to the point.

The entire train station is now under lockdown. Dressed in a well-tailored black suit, Los led his men in a quiet wait by the tracks.

Standing next to Los was Lilith, who was wearing a light purple shirt and a plaid long skirt that went past her knees. Behind her were Daryl and Elizabeth, and the rest were the guards that Elizabeth had brought.

puff!

With the sound of steam billowing out, this enormous steel behemoth came to a complete stop.

Then the doors in the middle of the train opened, and four servants dressed in black tailcoats quickly came down and placed the steps down.

Immediately following them were two rows of twenty royal guards, dressed in neat black uniforms with gold trim, wearing masks, and carrying firearms.

Once the guards were in formation, a woman dressed in a long black dress, wearing a veil and gloves, stepped off the train with the help of a female official.

Standing not far away, Los immediately saw through the veil and directly saw that stunningly beautiful face.

"Her looks are on par with Lilith and Minnie, but her style is completely different. She is like a fairy who has stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting. Apart from black and white, she is pure and clean, like a fairy who is detached from the world. She has entered the human world but has not been touched by any of the worldly affairs."

Having experienced Lilith and Minnie, Los would not be misled by a woman's appearance.

As the Queen stepped off the train, the orchestra that Elizabeth had brought immediately began playing welcoming music.

The piece is titled Triumph of the Empire, and according to Elizabeth, it is Her Majesty's favorite piece.

Accompanying the Queen were many other officials and attendants.

To the accompaniment of welcoming music, Los, accompanied by Lilith and the others, stepped forward warmly and bowed respectfully: "Los Arkham, Mayor of Arkham City, and his fiancée Lilith Arkham, respectfully welcome Her Majesty the Queen to Arkham City."

"Your arrival is like the bright sun in the sky, illuminating all the darkness of Arkham; your arrival is like the moon in the night sky, soothing the souls of your people in the quiet darkness."

Elizabeth, who was behind her, heard these words and looked at Ross etiquette. She nodded in satisfaction: "This guy is quite promising."

Queen Sue, standing in front of Los, nodded slightly, and then her ethereal and cool voice rang out: "Thank you for your welcome, Mayor Arkham."

As she spoke, Su Yi was also observing the rapidly rising young mayor. She found that everything about the man seemed normal; he appeared to be an ordinary person.

What impressed her most was Lilith beside her, because this woman was so charming, with an elegance, poise and maturity that reminded her of her own mother the moment she saw her.

This woman exudes a peculiar charm; anyone who sees her immediately thinks of the elder who cared for them most, making it difficult for them to feel hostility towards her.

Los stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, your carriage and lodgings are ready."

Su Yi gave a soft "Mm": "I am indeed a bit tired from the journey. Let's rest at the hotel first."

Then, led by Los, the group left the train station and walked out of the main gate.

As the Queen appeared, a tsunami-like roar erupted outside, and various cameras began to take pictures.

Looking at the frenzied crowds on both sides, Los thought to himself, "Are they all crazy? This is even crazier than those celebrity fans!"

Meanwhile, Su Yi raised her lace-gloved hand and slowly waved to the crowd, greeting them in her distinctive voice.

As the Queen emerged, everyone hidden in the crowd tensed up and became alert for any potential incidents.

Soon, some commotion began to arise. Zeke moved swiftly through the crowd like a snake, confiscating two guns in an instant and taking the lives of two people in the process.

This group knew very well that they couldn't kill the Queen; their main purpose in doing so was to disrupt Los's welcoming ceremony.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to know some boundaries, and the people they sent were all ordinary people.

Under the intense vigilance of superhumans like Kant and Zeke, they would be instantly subdued the moment any unusual movement was detected.

The Queen walked along the red carpet for fifty meters, which took about half a minute.

In just thirty seconds, Arkham police had killed sixty people in the crowd and confiscated a large number of handguns, grenades, gas grenades, and other weapons.

As the Queen stepped into the car and left under the escort of her guards, all the police officers on the perimeter breathed a deep sigh of relief.

As arranged by Elizabeth, the Queen stayed in a detached villa courtyard located southwest of the Imperial Post Office.
