Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

"That damn guy! Were those last words meant to humiliate me?!" Elizabeth clenched her fists as she watched Los's retreating figure.

Chapter 0029 The Great Mayor

As Los drove home happily, a large-scale commotion was taking place in the southern part of Federal Street, southeast of the city center.

Because a rather strange battle had just taken place here.

A hot spring hotel located here was suddenly hit by a violent explosion, and it appears that many people inside were killed.

Strangely, the densely packed old houses around the area were not affected at all.

The explosion attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, but no one dared to approach the area.

This is the territory of the Vanks gang, and these ordinary poor people dare not provoke these fierce gang members.

They only dared to cautiously observe from all sides, hoping to learn some exclusive news, or to sell it to those reporters for some money for blood wine, or to have it as fodder for conversation before or after a meal.

To their surprise, given the commotion, other members of the Vanks gang should have arrived shortly afterward, as they seemed to value this place highly and frequently transported wooden crates inside by car, which appeared to contain some kind of animal.

People were curious, but since it was a hotel that provided meals, they didn't pay much attention.

"Something seems off today! We're not far from the police station, so why aren't those damn cops here yet?" a dusty-faced boy hiding in a corner asked in a low voice.

To these ordinary people, there is no difference between the police and the gang members.

“Who knows? Hurry up and go back to your studies, Rum. How about we become doctors together someday? Then we can open a private clinic on Tulip Street in the East District. I like the quiet there,” said a tomboy two or three years older than the boy beside him.

"I want to see these despicable guys get their comeuppance. That would make me happy for a week," the young master said, his eyes fixed on the billowing smoke from the hotel.

Just as the two were talking, the first person to emerge from the hotel after the explosion finally came out.

She was a woman with a fantastic, almost perfect figure. She wore a long white robe, a veil, and a hat, so her face was obscured.

Her long, shapely legs, perfectly toned, dazzled young Rum.

“This woman must be incredibly beautiful!” Rum said, turning to look at the tomboy beside him. “Debbie, if you were even a tenth as beautiful as this woman, I’d definitely marry you when I grow up!”

The tomboy named Debbie rolled her eyes at him after hearing this: "If I were even a tenth as pretty as this woman, I wouldn't even look at you!"

"My God! What's going on?" The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise during the couple's usual bickering.

When everyone turned to look, they saw a girl dressed in very inappropriate men's clothing following behind the beautiful woman.

These girls ranged in age from sixteen or seventeen to their early twenties. They were all quite pretty, and although they were very clean, their hands and feet were shackled with dark chains.

Judging from their surviving appearance, everyone's first reaction was: slaves.

The empire abolished slavery more than fifty years ago, but there are still many wealthy people who enjoy this dirty and illegal slave trade, especially beautiful girls, who are important commodities for these traffickers.

Upon seeing this, everyone present suddenly realized that the wooden crates that were usually brought into the hotel did not contain animals, but these living young girls.

"God above! These damned scumbags!" Many citizens present cursed in hushed tones upon seeing this.

There were thirteen girls in total, and they followed the beautiful woman obediently, as if they were following a savior.

As the group of girls walked out, a larger crowd of onlookers immediately gathered around.

After almost half of the slums had arrived, the beautiful woman spoke in an intellectual, elegant, dignified, and mature voice.

"These girls are trafficked by the Vanks gang. Most of them come from the surrounding villages and were forcibly abducted by these people. Some of them even had their families killed."

"There are also some missing persons from our city of Arkham. These are young women who should be enjoying their beautiful youth, but these damned human traffickers have ruined their lives!"

Upon hearing this, all the residents around were immediately furious. At the same time, they suddenly remembered their neighbors over the years, and even their own missing daughter, which made them even more resentful. In an instant, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

The magical power of Lilith's language was fully utilized at this moment.

"For so many years, human trafficking and gang problems have plagued the central area and all of you kind and hardworking people. I hereby announce that starting today, this situation will be greatly improved!"

“My name is Rita, and I am a subordinate of our great mayor, Los Arkham!”

"The mayor!? That young mayor!?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Because they had just held a protest against the mayor, instigated by the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce.

Lilith said loudly, "Yes, the great mayor conducted a long investigation, took great risks to locate the human traffickers' hideout, and then ordered me to come here today to rescue these poor girls."

"You might still have some questions: why didn't these gang members send reinforcements? Why didn't the corrupt cops who usually collude with them come to the rescue? Right?"

Although everyone thought the same thing, no one dared to nod at this moment, because the lingering influence of these gangs was still there.

Lilith shouted, "Don't be afraid! I can tell you all that the remnants of those gangs have been wiped out by my comrades, and those corrupt police officers have been taken into custody by the mayor's other men!"

"So I can rescue these poor girls all by myself and give them a new life!"

"Don't be afraid! Our great Mayor of Los Arkham is not what you've heard. He has great ideals and ambitions. He is working to change the status quo of Arkham. He is developing a medical system that will allow everyone to see a doctor. He also plans to renovate this neighborhood so that you can live in more comfortable and spacious houses!"

Lilith may not be a skilled orator, but the magic of her language helps to make up for all of that.

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately immersed in beautiful fantasies about the future.

"Listen up, everyone! Combating gangs and human traffickers is just the first step in our mayor's reforms. Don't worry that our mayor is one of those empty-headed politicians. You will soon receive more benefits and a better life. Your houses will be renovated within a year!"

Upon hearing this, everyone could no longer suppress their joy and excitement: "The mayor is great! Long live the mayor! The mayor is great! Long live the mayor!"

Chapter 0030 Three-pronged approach

As Lilith proclaimed her rosy plans for Los's future, a middle-aged man with jet-black hair stood calmly at the intersection two blocks away.

In front of him, six black Model T sedans were crowded in the middle of the road, but no one dared to move them.

Because these six vehicles belonged to the Rhodes Merchant Guild, and the people inside were members of the Vanks Gang.

However, the twenty-odd people in the six vehicles were all lying on the ground, some clutching their stomachs and others their arms, groaning in pain.

None of these people died, but each of them had at least two fractures.

People passing by and in the shops were utterly shocked by what they saw.

On the one hand, this is the first time in so many years that someone has dared to openly take action against the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone knew that the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce controlled those two gangs.

But today this guy actually attacked them, and he did it on his own initiative.

On the other hand, this guy single-handedly beat up more than twenty people, including those big, strong men, which is quite unbelievable.

Standing here is naturally Carrington.

Carrington looked down at the gang members, glanced around at the onlookers, and calmly said in a voice that wasn't loud but could be heard by everyone: "You gang members are the cancer and parasites of the entire city of Arkham. The mayor says he's had enough of you poisoning his citizens. Starting today, the mayor will swiftly purge you evil gangs."

Carrington didn't possess any demonic power, nor did he speak passionately, but his indifferent and cold words had an indescribable power that convinced everyone.

Looking around, Carrington saw the surprise and delight in the eyes of these people. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "My young master, who is also your mayor of Los Arkham, keeps his word. You don't need to worry. In less than a month, all the gangs in the central area will be wiped out."

"This is just the beginning."

After saying this indifferently, Carrington turned and left.

Just as Carrington turned to leave, a gang member lying beside the car suddenly pulled out a handgun and fired at Carrington.

"Uncle! Watch out!" a little boy passing by shouted a warning.

boom!

A shot was fired, but Carrington didn't even turn his head. He simply tilted his head slightly to dodge the bullet. Then, he casually pulled out a very ordinary dinner knife from his pocket and flicked his arm.

A flash of cold light, and the man who had just fired the gun was instantly pierced through the head by the kitchen knife, his eyes filled with disbelief as he fell to the ground dead.

“Who else?” Carrington stopped and turned slightly to ask.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other gang members were terrified. Their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they covered their heads, not daring to utter a word or even glance at Carrington.

Is this even human?!

Carrington stood at the intersection for about ten seconds, then turned and walked to the North Shore Market next door. He went to a flour shop and said, "Boss, give me thirty bags of flour."

The shop owner, who had been stunned, quickly recovered and laughed, "Mr. Carrington, I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"

"Exactly thirty bags. Are you planning to open a bakery?" The shop owner tried to find a topic to compose himself.

Carrington shook his head: "There are suddenly more people in the house."

"Oh, yes! Yes, John! Prepare the carriage! Send it to Mr. Carrington!" The shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly told his son to deliver the goods.

While shopping in Carrington, I was at the police station across the street.

Daryl stood calmly with Kur in the office area of ​​the police station's front hall.

The phones here have been ringing off the hook. There are thirty people here, including the sheriff, the superintendent, the detective, and the patrol officers.

At this moment, the thirty people, all looking rather grim, were gathered together, seemingly about to leave, but were blocked by Daryl and Kur.

The police officers were led by an older officer wearing a fedora and a black police uniform.

His name is Nickel Assad, he is 61 years old, and he is the sheriff here.

“Daryl, you’re just a municipal manager, not part of the police system,” Nickel said, his face grim.

Daryl calmly stated, "Yes, I am just the city manager, but I am also a representative of all citizens. I am very clear about what I am doing today, and I also know that it will have a positive impact on all the people."

Nickel whispered, "Daryl, you're playing with fire! You have no idea what they represent!"

Daryl, an elite spy, was not easily intimidated. He said calmly, "Nicole, I've been here for ten years. I deal with Reis and his group every day. I know the factions better than you do."

"Then how dare you stop us?!" a bearded detective shouted angrily.

Daryl casually pulled out a document: "This is an injunction personally signed by the mayor. Effective today, all officers of the Arkham Police Department are suspended from their duties. The mayor suspects you of colluding with gangs and harming citizens, involving eight charges including embezzlement, bribery, murder, extortion, and blackmail."

Upon hearing this, the other police officers' expressions immediately changed. None of the police officers here were clean; if this were discovered, they would all go to jail!

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being heartless!" Just as Nicole was about to draw his gun, he sensed a strong figure flash past.

He then felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and immediately fainted.

Before anyone else could react, the three detectives and three police inspectors in front of them also fell to the ground.

The patrol officers behind were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened, and even when they drew their guns, they didn't know where to shoot.

In an instant, items on the desk flew up, and a ferocious beast darted through them.

boom!boom!

"Ahhh! Don't come any closer! You monster!"

Let me go

Gunshots and screams suddenly rang out from the inside.
