Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Meanwhile, in the house next door to Los.

Paul looked somewhat surprised after hearing Murthy's words: "Special ability? Did Kur mention any special ability?"

"No, but it seems they've been given a 'silence' order."

Paul thought to himself, "So, the confidence he had to say those things to me today came from this woman? Or is there some other force behind him?"

"Hmph, they even dare to attack our territory? They really don't know their own limitations. It's time to let them know what real terror is."

He had no doubts about Morsi; they were confident that they had grasped Morsi's weaknesses and had him completely under their control.

Mursi sneered inwardly: "You think you can control me with such a little bit of trash? Are your brains filled with shit?"

As Paul was about to leave, Murcy asked, "I need to refurbish some medical equipment and purchase some related experimental materials. Are your supplies reliable?"

“Of course, no problem. In recognition of your help this time, I can give you a 30% discount on this purchase,” Paul said with a smile.

A slight smile appeared on Murthy's lips: "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

The next morning, Los met with Daryl at the city hall.

“Young Master, I have begun to exercise the committee’s powers along with the eight other committee members. However, I have used an ancient system to temporarily strip you of your rights instead of directly removing you from office,” Daryl reported.

Losen said, "Our Arkham family holds a hereditary title, which can only be appointed or dismissed by Her Majesty the Queen. What is the current attitude of the committee members?"

"The Rhodes Merchant Guild in the central district, the Danny Gang in the commercial district, the Clark family in the wealthy district, the witch groups in the Fran Mountains, and the pirates in the River District and the East District have all shown you very strong hostility."

“These five forces are powerful enough that they are eager to oust you from office and elect their own mayor.”

Los laughed: "Great idea, what about the other three?"

"The North District representative, Dr. Shrewsbury, belongs to the Redemption Society. They are not interested in Arkham politics; they care more about something I don't know."

“Dr. Armitage, the representative of the College District, is a friend of your father and has always remained neutral on this matter.”

"The Gaspards in the southern Lowlands are a group of mercenaries, and whoever is in power will not affect their pockets."

"In other words, these three companies are like fence-sitters with little hostility."

Daryl nodded: "That's one way to put it, but these three districts are also the three weakest in terms of strength."

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

Then the clerk Janet rushed in and said, "Mayor, something terrible has happened! A large-scale protest has suddenly broken out in the central district, demanding the removal of the incompetent mayor."

“Okay, Janet, go get some tea and take a break,” Ross said with a smile.

Daryl: "The Rhodes Chamber of Commerce seems to have reached its limit."

Los stood up: "Go and appease the people first. I have someone else to meet with today."

“Okay.” Daryl nodded first, then asked curiously, “Mayor, who are you going to see?”

Los straightened his collar: "Elizabeth Clark."

Chapter 0026 The Queen's Confidant

Clark's ancestral home is an extremely luxurious estate, the most expensive in all of Arkham, symbolizing the family's wealth and power.

The estate is located at 276 Thorntons Street, in the southwesternmost affluent area of ​​Arkham.

This distance is quite far, because Los's house is located in the far northeast, and it's about 20 kilometers away.

Los naturally didn't intend to walk there or take the tram, since he owned a car.

The Arkham family is financially very well-off. They have the right to receive a portion of the tax revenue directly from the family, and the Arkham Sanatorium, as a private property, provides the family with an annual income of approximately 120,000 Rosa.

Such an income would place one among the top nobles in the entire city of Arkham.

However, this family is exceptionally low-key and unassuming, never showing off.

Their car was a new one this year, the latest flagship model from Fowles using a clay molding method, worth 10,000 Rosa dollars.

This car already has the look of a futuristic sports car, all black, with a streamlined shape, only two seats, and a very long hood, making it extremely stylish.

Los didn't like cars before; this strange guy preferred retro horse-drawn carriages.

"What a waste," Los sighed, looking at the sports car in the garage.

“Master, do you need me to go with you?” Lilith asked.

Los shook his head: "I went there mainly to show off, and I need you to help me make that show off perfectly."

Although Lilith didn't know what the word "pretentious" meant, she thought it was a very important thing.

She didn't ask any further questions: "How many maids do you need?"

"Take as many as you can. I have plenty of money. What I lack now is people. Once the people are rescued, take them straight home."

"Also, inform Kur and Daryl that we can begin the operation."

After giving all the instructions, Los picked up the keys, started the car, and headed south along Peabody Road.

Nowadays, the driving experience of cars is quite good. Yi rolled down the window, looked at the scenery on both sides with a smile, and had a comfortable expression.

To get from home to Clark's mansion, you need to go through the North District, then cross the West Bridge over the Miskatonic River in the middle of the city, then pass through the business district, the campus district, and finally arrive at the wealthy area.

The affluent neighborhood is very large, with a lot of space between the houses. Almost every house has a small yard, some big and some small.

Los drove his car directly to the entrance of Clark's mansion.

Behind the spacious estate stands a six-story, pristine white building.

The building features exquisite reliefs and long, narrow windows, and its square shape resembles a large box, exhibiting a distinctly aristocratic style reminiscent of the reign of Queen Anya.

The security guard responsible for welcoming them had never seen such a rare and stylish luxury car before, and immediately knew that an important person had arrived.

He ran over with a smile, but when he heard about Los's identity and purpose, his expression turned somewhat surprised. He then said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform him immediately."

Los walked down, looked at the building, and said with a smile, "No wonder he's a confidant of the Queen; even the buildings have such a royal feel."

Elizabeth Clarke's true identity is that of a close friend of the current young Queen Stephanie III.

According to the current timeline, she is twenty-six years old this year and has only been here for two years since she came from the capital. In a year, she will become the deputy commander of the Royal Military Intelligence Bureau, specifically responsible for managing the forces in Arkham and exploring the underground labyrinth.

"Imperial power and divine power are now heading towards two extremes. Imperial power is no longer satisfied with the control of divine power. This queen, who is only twenty-two years old this year, is preparing to go it alone, and her greatest hope is to find a powerful method in the underground labyrinth that can defeat the enemy in one blow."

This is precisely why Los was able to pinpoint the woman's weaknesses and persuade her to help him deal with the Rhodes Merchant Guild.

Just three minutes later, the guard came running up and said, "Mayor, please come in. My master is very pleased with your arrival."

Los then followed the white cobblestone path through the middle of the estate to the Clark Family Home, a landmark building in the wealthy district and even in Arkham.

The two servants guarding the door already knew their master's intentions. With smiles on their faces, they helped Los open the door, revealing a middle-aged man wearing a black tailcoat and with his hair neatly parted in the middle.

Judging from his demeanor and attire, he should be the head male servant here, who is also responsible for reception duties.

"Please! Your Excellency Mayor." The middle-aged man smiled and led Los up the stairs on the left.

"The mistress is waiting for you in the living room. She is very happy and surprised by your arrival," the butler said with a smile.

Los thought to himself, "If she were truly happy and surprised, she should be the one standing here right now."

Upon arriving at the sunny living room on the second floor, a rustic yet luxurious coffee table sits in the center of the spacious room, flanked by two sofas.

Two food carts were placed to the side, where steaming hot tea and prepared desserts could be seen.

At this moment, a young and beautiful woman on the sofa stood up with a smile on her face.

She has very distinctive blue hair, an oval face, and bright, expressive eyes that match her hair color.

She is about 1.7 meters tall and today she is wearing a pure white lace dress. Her exquisite makeup, combined with her natural beauty, can capture the hearts of most men instantly.

This is Elizabeth Clark, the head of the secret service with a level 24 skill rating.

Upon seeing Elizabeth, Elizabeth thought to herself, "Whose imagination is this? My description of her appearance is very brief. I remember her description being just a mature, dignified, and beautiful lady."

"Who told you to become so beautiful?!" Los wanted to shout at them.

"Oh! Dear Mayor, your arrival makes the sun seem extra beautiful today." Elizabeth was a truly reserved person, and at this moment, her face was beaming with joy, as if the two were long-lost friends.

Los walked over with a smile, and the two gave each other a polite hug: "The busy political affairs keep me busy. As the newly appointed mayor, it is very necessary for you to visit my council members."

Elizabeth led Los to sit down and asked with a smile, "Logically speaking, you should visit Mr. Tariq, who is closest to you, first, right? I am the furthest away from you."

Los smiled and said, "Your beauty is still fresh in my memory from our previous few encounters. It was the desire to see your beauty again that drew me here."

Elizabeth smiled without changing her expression and said, "You are a very humorous and polite gentleman. Your future wife will surely live a happy life."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Elizabeth asked with a smile, "Mayor, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Los took a sip of hot tea and said casually, "I want you to help me take down the Rhodes Merchant Guild so I can control the central area."

Chapter 0027 What you see is my ability

Hearing such direct, crazy, and unrealistic words, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Mayor, did I hear that right?"

Los blinked and repeated what he had just said, "Is there a problem with that?"

Looking at Los's innocent, even somewhat naive eyes, Elizabeth burst into laughter and said, "Mayor, you are such a humorous person. You have made my day full of surprises and joy."

After laughing heartily, Elizabeth said with a smile, "I have no interest in this matter and do not intend to help you."

Ross looked at Elizabeth and asked, "You refused without even listening to my conditions? Isn't that a bit too hasty? That's not like you, Miss Clark."

Elizabeth's smile faded, and she said calmly, "Mayor, are you sure you're not dreaming?"

“No,” Los said.

Elizabeth said, "As a courtesy for you driving here, I can explain the implications of this to you, my innocent little friend who knows nothing."

“Our Clark family and the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce have many trade dealings. We are partners and we value integrity in business.”

"The Rhodes Chamber of Commerce controls the entire central district's population; they have a vast amount of resources and votes that you can't even imagine."

"There is no benefit for me in cooperating with you. You are too weak now, as weak as an ant. Perhaps you don't know, but if the Rhodes Merchant Guild wanted to, they could even kill you outright."

"Finally, you fully understand what the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce represents."

"A clueless brat who knows nothing comes here to discuss cooperation? That's simply a fantasy."

After hearing this, Los asked, "That's all?"

Elizabeth retorted, "Isn't this enough?"

Los leaned back comfortably on the sofa, looked at Elizabeth and said, "If these are all your concerns, I believe you will change your mind within ten minutes."

"Oh!? Young man, I don't know if you're naive, arrogant, or something else, but I'm getting tired of hearing your ridiculous words." Elizabeth's face showed some displeasure.
