She's busy and doesn't have time to waste on this idiot.
Los didn't care and held up his finger, saying, "I only need four words to win your next ten minutes of waiting time."
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes slightly: "Tell me!"
This guy's confidence and arrogance actually piqued her curiosity.
What kind of thing could make this kind of scum come up to me and say such things?
Los opened his mouth and said four words: "Dungeon Labyrinth".
!!!
Although Elizabeth's expression remained unchanged, her heart was in turmoil.
They haven't officially begun searching for and exploring the dungeon labyrinth yet; it's merely her and the Queen's idea and plan, and everything is still in the planning and preparation stage.
Only four people knew about this plan!
"How did this guy know?!" Elizabeth was shocked, but gradually her contempt disappeared.
Looking at the still calm Elizabeth, Los picked up his teacup and said softly, "Your heart rate has increased from 60 beats per minute to 85 beats per minute."
!!!
This once again shocked Elizabeth. She had been trying her best to control her body and heartbeat. In this situation, even the top agents, or even superhumans, would not be able to detect a problem with their heart rate. How did he know?!
At this moment, caution and seriousness gradually appeared in Elizabeth's eyes, but her tone remained relaxed and calm: "It seems that the mayor is indeed hiding his true abilities."
Ross asked with a smile, "Now, Miss Clark, are you willing to wait ten minutes?"
Elizabeth picked up her teacup to ease her tension and said with a smile, "Since it's the mayor's request, Elizabeth will naturally comply."
About seven minutes later, a middle-aged woman dressed in a black and white maid outfit walked in and whispered a few words in Elizabeth's ear.
Elizabeth's eyes narrowed instantly, and she nodded slightly: "I understand."
Then she stared intently at Los: "How did you do that?"
Her men at the Arkham Asylum and Arkham Public Schools reported that Daryl's daughter's incurable eyes had been completely healed, and she was reborn, with even a significant improvement in her physical condition.
Dr. Kur at Arkham Sanatorium not only recovered from his trembling right arm, but even the three fingers on his left hand that had been blown off grew back!
This is simply unbelievable; it's something countless people could only dream of.
But now, it has actually happened.
These seemingly unrelated events became strange because Los visited Daryl and went to the sanatorium.
Los sipped his tea and said, "Your tea is excellent."
After saying that, he laughed and said, "Let's wait a bit, it's better to talk about it all at once."
Elizabeth prided herself on her strong will and inner strength, which, along with her training from a young age and her superhuman abilities, had always allowed her to remain composed.
But in the next few minutes, she felt herself losing her composure because it was too bizarre and incomprehensible.
About two minutes passed in silence when another male servant rushed over, his face grave as he bowed his head.
After the servant finished speaking, Elizabeth suddenly stood up, staring wide-eyed at Los, who was still sitting there: "Are you crazy!?"
Ross glanced down at his watch and nodded happily: "Exactly ten minutes. Luckily, I didn't waste Miss Clark's time, or I would have felt bad."
Elizabeth looked at the calm Los, took a deep breath, and sat down again: "Is that the woman you took from the nursing home?"
“Yes.” Los nodded with a smile.
Elizabeth asked, "Who is she?"
“A mental patient who had awakened a special ability. He happened to be a huge fan of me when I arrived, so I brought him out,” Los replied casually.
Elizabeth, of course, didn't believe such nonsense, and then asked seriously, "Kur, Tracy, how did you do that?"
Los smiled and said, "This is my special ability, just like yours!"
“You really are no ordinary person!” Elizabeth whispered.
Los: "This is my capital, and this is the confidence I have to come to you now."
"With this technology, I can now solve many intractable diseases that were previously unsolvable, even paralysis and terminal illnesses. This ability is enough to allow me to quickly win people's hearts and become a mayor that everyone admires and respects."
Elizabeth stared at Los without saying a word.
Los continued, "And directly destroying the Rhodes Merchant Guild's stronghold and taking away all their slaves is my current power. Now I have the ability to fight the Rhodes Merchant Guild head-on."
“The Rhodes Merchant Guild is just a front; don’t underestimate them,” Elizabeth warned.
Los chuckled lightly: "The Hand of Chaos, huh? I already took care of Heim beforehand. They're all in Arkham now, and there's not a single one of them who can fight back."
Chapter 0028 He ran away after showing off.
Upon hearing Ross's words, Elizabeth was completely thrown into turmoil.
She already knew about Heim's death through spies within the Rhodes Merchant Guild, but to this day, the Rhodes Merchant Guild still doesn't know who killed Heim.
She had also wondered who could possess such power to kill Heim. She had met Heim twice before; he was a madman. Although he was no match for her, defeating him would not be an easy task either.
Both she and the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce believed it to be a mysterious force unknown to them.
They thought of many people, but they never thought of this young mayor who had just taken office.
At this point, Elizabeth did not believe that Ross was lying, because the matter had not yet been made public and very few people knew about it.
"You actually managed to kill Heim." Elizabeth's eyes held a hint of seriousness. At this moment, she had to re-examine and evaluate this young man who had always been looked down upon by everyone.
Los still did not answer her question: "The fact that the forces of your five regions have joined forces to impeach me is simply because you want to install a mayor who will obey you after I step down. The root cause is still a matter of interests."
"Even though she rarely goes to City Hall, she seems to know exactly what we were talking about," Elizabeth said calmly.
Los: "I healed Trish's eyes."
"Elizabeth, you're so stupid! Can't you even think of something this simple? Calm down! Calm down! He hasn't shown any hostility yet, don't lose your composure." Elizabeth immediately scolded herself inwardly.
Los could sense her panic and shock, and continued, "Our family was personally appointed as lords by Queen Viya. For more than three hundred years, the royal family has treated our family very well. Among all the powers, I have no great hostility towards the royal family. That is why I came here today."
Hearing this, Elizabeth quickly gathered her scattered thoughts, took a deep breath, and asked, "So, Mayor Arkham, what are your demands?"
"It's better for everyone if you become an ally in my rule of Arkham, not an enemy. I have the technology, and you have the resources. Isn't Her Majesty the Queen's current pursuit of the dungeon labyrinth precisely to obtain the technology that can turn the tide of the war?"
With that, Los opened his arms: "The technology you need right now is right here!"
Recalling the reward she had just received, she, being a superhuman herself, knew very well that the technology Los possessed was definitely not just about curing diseases, but might even contain a way to directly turn humans into superhumans.
Elizabeth took a deep breath: "So how should we cooperate? What do we need to do, and what can you give us?"
Ross laughed: "Finally, we've gotten to the point, beautiful Miss Clark."
"First, I need the Queen to issue a decree granting me sufficient freedom of control over Arkham."
“I have no right to decide that,” Elizabeth said.
Los said calmly, "Wait, let me finish. Where did the usually composed and elegant Miss Clark go?"
These words immediately made Elizabeth blush, feeling that she had suffered a great humiliation.
Los continued, "Secondly, I want to reorganize Arkham, the Chaos Hand, the Forbidden Gate, the Black Goat's Egg, the Danny Gang—I want to wipe out all these cults and gangs without leaving a trace, and take back control of the entire city. In this process, I need your intelligence and manpower."
"Third, when my researchers need supplies, I hope they can purchase them through royal channels. I don't care about the price, but I do care about secrecy and security."
"Fourth, shield me from all outside political factors. You should know very well that there is the Imperial Military Intelligence Service here, as well as spies from the other two empires."
"These are the four points for now."
Elizabeth carefully considered these four requests and then directly asked, "What can you give us?"
"I can transfer the patent for my blood therapy technique to you. You can then claim to the outside world that you invented the blood therapy technique, which will allow you to openly win people's hearts and build your own power."
"Blood healing technique!?" Elizabeth was somewhat surprised when she heard the name.
This ancient technique, which has no scientific basis whatsoever, has been taboo for many years.
Los clearly saw through Elizabeth's thoughts: "Don't compare those foolish things to my skills."
Elizabeth was momentarily flustered, but quickly regained her composure: "Then what about the core technology?"
"Don't even think about the core technology; I won't give it to anyone. You can only get finished products from me, or you can specify your requirements, and we will develop some special blood according to your needs."
After a pause, Los added, "The premise is, don't go too far; blood healing isn't a panacea."
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth calmly replied, "It seems we are at a greater disadvantage."
"Think carefully about the implications of this situation, and you'll realize that you're not at a disadvantage."
"Not to mention the countless benefits that this blood healing technique patent can bring, the loyalty generated by this healing power alone is incomparable to any advantage or disadvantage."
Upon hearing this devilish temptation, Elizabeth immediately thought of those battle-hardened soldiers who had been discharged due to missing limbs.
If Her Majesty possessed this potion to regrow them, she could certainly gather a large number of elite assassins.
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, and her heart skipped a beat.
“You seem to have figured it out, Miss Clark,” came Los’s voice, which always carried a faint smile.
Elizabeth coughed and said, "I can't make this decision myself; I need to discuss it with the Queen."
Los didn't intend to linger either. He stood up and said, "I hope you can hurry. Although Daryl has sworn allegiance to me, he is, after all, a spy for MI3. He may have already secretly reported this matter to MI3, hoping that his superior and I will take the lead."
“Daryl is an MI3 agent!?” Elizabeth was shocked to hear this.
That's the municipal manager, whose actual power is even greater than that of the mayor. How could the military intelligence agency have such a long reach?!
Los was somewhat surprised: "You didn't know? Oh! I'm so sorry, Daryl."
With feigned seriousness, Los said, "Consider this a small gift for our meeting, Miss Clark, who is as beautiful as a white rose."
"Furthermore, Daryl is now my loyal subordinate, and I do not wish for you to do anything to harm him, otherwise..."
Los narrowed his eyes, and two tangible killing intents erupted, piercing straight at Elizabeth's skin.
In an instant, Elizabeth instinctively retreated two meters, as she felt two cold, sharp blades pierce her skin.
Looking up, he realized that the two sharp blades he had just seen were merely lines of sight!
"Just how terrifying is this guy?!" Elizabeth was terrified and nearly drew her weapon.
Meanwhile, Los immediately smiled and said, "Miss Clark, your flustered appearance is like a rose after the rain. Although you are a little flustered, you have a unique charm."
"Have a wonderful day!" Ross said, bowing slightly before turning and humming a tune as he left.
