Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Daryl said, "Young master, we can't arrest all of these people, otherwise the daily operations of the entire central district will be paralyzed."

Los looked at the documents in his hand: "I originally planned to take control of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce by getting to the top management, but it seems that won't work now. This organization is rotten to the core from top to bottom."

“No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction. Since we are determined to reorganize the entire central area, we must be thorough.” Los said, slowly putting the document down.

He turned to Captain Oyok and said, "Captain, please help me investigate these people. Anyone involved in murder should be executed. We don't have enough money to feed and entertain them in prison."

Upon hearing this, Captain Oyok was immediately impressed by the young mayor. His determination and boldness far surpassed those of older politicians.

"There are quite a few of them. Are we really going to kill them all?" Captain Oyok asked to confirm.

Ross said, "For these scumbags, any mercy or pity is nothing but a mockery and trampling on the dead."

"That's well said!" Daryl couldn't help but praise.

This is not flattery, but a genuine expression of my feelings.

Captain Oyok nodded in acknowledgment: "Mission accomplished, Mayor!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

He had already been informed by Miss Elizabeth that Los was also one of Her Majesty's men, and since he was one of their own, he naturally had to do his best.

Los produced some documents and said, "After these people were killed, a large number of institutions need to be replenished with personnel. Can you help me re-examine the people currently serving time in prison? There are a lot of wrongful convictions here. Useful people can be directly released without charge."

"Furthermore, look through past records to find those who left out of despair; their good days are coming."

Daryl said with a smile, "I started preparing the day before yesterday, and I firmly believe that you can bring a completely new structure and order to this city."

“You did a great job, Daryl!” Los stood up, his face full of satisfaction and approval.

At 2 p.m., Lilith returned to Los's home and reported, "Your police are on duty."

“Very good, let’s establish a new order.” Los was dressed in a very formal black suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked very formal and handsome.

At 3 p.m., reporters from all the newspapers in Arkham gathered again in front of the city hall, along with at least two hundred ordinary citizens on the periphery.

Los stood on a makeshift stage, behind him stood thirty-one police officers with stern expressions, robust builds, and solemn demeanor, all dressed in black uniforms.

These police officers were completely different from the previous ones. They looked to be around thirty years old, in the prime of their youth. Their robust bodies were full of power, and their stern eyes were full of oppressive force.

Compared to these people, the previous police officers were practically old, weak, sick, and disabled.

"My citizens! As you can see! This is the newest batch of police officers in Arkham City! They are true elites, truly good police officers! For a long time to come, they will protect your safety, maintain order in the city, and keep my citizens away from gang harassment and cult incursions!"

"Great mayor! Great mayor!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding citizens gasped in surprise.

Rum and Debbie, squeezed in the crowd, were even more flustered, their faces flushed and their voices hoarse from shouting.

Los raised his hands to quiet the citizens again and continued, "Arkham is an ancient and great town, but it has been ravaged by gangs and cults for many years, and countless good people have been killed, which pains me deeply."

Then, Los changed the subject and said loudly, "But in the future, you don't need to worry about these things. Our new police are completely different from those corrupt officials of the past. They will not act as a shield for any criminals. They will become our heroes!"

"As for our corrupt old police officers, I have taken them all down and imprisoned them. What awaits them is a long prison sentence!"

At this point, Los smiled slightly: "If anyone has been harmed by them, you can go and give them a bar of soap."

Most people naturally understood what this meant and laughed happily.

"We've already been ripped off by them, why are we sending them things? We don't even have soap at home," Rum muttered.

"Finally, on behalf of the city government of Arkham, I hereby officially announce that we will revitalize the slums in the south within a year. We will promote education, we will have a better healthcare system, and a more equitable social environment!"

"In the near future, everyone will be able to live a clean and happy life. In that era, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can live a decent life!"

"I swear on the honor of the Arkham family, all of the above will be achieved within two years!"

Ohhhhh!

Upon hearing this, the entire scene erupted in cheers.

Chapter 0043 Green Covenant

In the wealthy district, the army stormed into the Reaganrod family manor, only to find that only some servants remained; Reaganrod had vanished without a trace.

So the army arrested all the servants and seized the entire manor.

By the end of the day, the entire central area had completely changed.

The military intervention was too fierce, and with lightning speed, they took down all the core members of the Rhodes Merchant Guild, without even giving the Rhodes Merchant Guild time to react.

At 5 p.m., news of the storm spread throughout Arkham City along with reports from various newspapers.

In the commercial district, at Leo's high-end tailor shop.

Danny O'Bannon, the leader of the Danny gang, is trying on his new suit.

Danny is a burly man who is 1.9 meters tall, bald, with a face full of fat. His round face has sharp features, and he looks a lot like Kingpin, one of the classic villains in Marvel comics.

"Not bad, very comfortable." Danny stretched and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned and took the newspaper that his subordinate had just handed him and looked at it.

“Los Arkham, isn’t he getting a bit too much attention lately?” Danny’s voice was very deep, and his words were full of pressure.

"Boss, everyone from the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce has been arrested. The army took action themselves, killing and arresting more than four hundred people!" His capable lieutenant, mainly responsible for intelligence gathering, known in the underworld as Golden Monkey, had a look of shock on his face.

Danny sneered, "Putting all his businesses together, isn't that just waiting for someone to take him down in one fell swoop? How stupid."

"Has the Hand of Chaos made any moves?"

Vic smiled and said, "The Hand of Chaos is furious and is preparing to retaliate. They plan to attack Los Arkham, the military base, the city government, Daryl's house, Arkham Asylum, and the entire slums all at once."

Danny casually tossed the newspaper aside and said, "Let's wait and see."

Meanwhile, on campus, at the Miskatonic University Library.

Dr. Armitage, 54 years old this year, is not only the librarian of this library, but also a municipal councilor representing the college district.

Looking down at the newspaper in his hand, a hint of worry appeared on his somewhat aged, square face.

He has been keeping a close eye on the central district and the new mayor's movements these past two days.

First, they banned blood wine, then reinstated it, then arrested all the police, and officially began a war with the Rhodes Guild, implementing new policies and winning over the lower classes.

Although the newspapers have been praising the newly appointed mayor these past two days, he is not happy at all.

It wasn't because of what the new mayor did, but because of a little girl.

About a week ago, he met with Daryl and, out of concern for the young man, inquired about Trish's condition.

From Daryl's description and expression, Dr. Armitage knew that Trish's eyes had completely deteriorated, she had become blind, and was gradually losing her expressions due to nerve necrosis.

He knew very well that Daryl's expression at the time was not feigned, because he had some understanding of the disease.

However, just yesterday, when he passed by Arkham Public High School, he was shocked to find that Trish had not only come to school, but had also fully recovered.

Her skin had become better, full of youthful vitality, and her eyes were full of light, like jewels, which made him feel a vague sense of fear.

The library he managed had a vast collection of books, which made him very knowledgeable. In addition, he had a very good relationship with Dr. Heinrich Murthy, a famous doctor in Arkham. Therefore, he knew very well that this disease was not only impossible to cure in a few days, but it was also impossible to cure it at all.

What worries him most is that, according to the news, the person who cured him is none other than the current mayor, Los Arkham.

It's important to know that seven years ago, Los Arkham's father, George Arkham, accompanied him to Dunwich to witness and expel the beings that did not belong to this world.

Since then, George Arkham has become strange, and now his son's unusual behavior is making him even more terrified.

"What should we do?" Dr. Armitage's aged hands clenched tighter and tighter.

According to his analysis, Los Arkham is likely to have mutated for some special reason. Judging from his open and aboveboard war against the Rhodes Merchant Guild, he must have gained enormous superhuman power. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary person who has just taken office to possess such power.

“Let’s give a report first!” Dr. Armitage stood up, preparing to send a telegram.

An incident seven years ago changed the fate of him and his friend, Francis Morgan.

A month after that incident, a group of mysterious people approached the two of them and conducted a very thorough study and investigation into the Dunwich affair.

Those people acted much like the Empire's military, but they were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled when it came to the mysterious, as if they were a special unit dedicated to handling such matters.

In their subsequent investigation, they learned that the organization's full name was the Human Green Ecological Protection Pledge Alliance, or Green Pledge for short.

Although this organization was initially established by the Empire, it has been banned for a long time. The people who are now in power formed it spontaneously. All members are a group dedicated to protecting humanity and resisting those supernatural beings and terrors.

They travel the world dealing with all sorts of extraordinary events. They have a complete and systematic set of management regulations and methods. They even have special personnel, such as one of the beautiful women whose true form is a ferocious ghoul.

But they share the same goal: to protect humanity from those terrifying beings.

After communicating with the two individuals for a long time, the Green Covenant decided to join them and become their members in Arkham, because there were far too many cults there, and they needed to monitor the area at all times and report back to the Covenant headquarters.

Over the course of seven years, the two secretly handled approximately twenty extraordinary incidents. They resolved about ten of them on their own and called in professionals from the Covenant on the other ten.

However, Armitage is getting older now, and his body can no longer handle such high-intensity work. His memory is not as good as before, and the rheumatism in his legs has become more and more serious in the past two years.

His bizarre past experiences even caused him to have poor sleep, often waking up suddenly in fear.

I had just stepped outside when I saw a man who looked to be in his early forties walking towards me.

The man had a resolute appearance, a strong physique, and was dressed in a well-fitting suit, giving the impression of being a wealthy person's bodyguard.

This is Francis Morgan, the only PhD in the university's archaeology department and a key figure supporting the department.

"You've heard about it, haven't you?" Francis asked in a low voice.

Armitage nodded: "Report first, then wait for news."

Chapter 0044 The Hand of Chaos Strikes Back

The river district near the Miskatonic River in Arkham has two of the largest of the three wharves in the entire Arkham region.

Following this mother river, ships set off from here, heading east, and then passing through the port of Innsmouth, before smoothly heading out to sea.

Therefore, anyone wanting to do business at sea in Arkham cannot bypass this place, nor can they bypass the master of the entire River District and East District, Thomas Pick, the infamous true captain of the Tide Pirates.

Thomas Pick is a true Innsmouth native, embodying all the characteristics of an Innsmouth.

He started balding in his early twenties, had a hunched back, and had large, round eyes like copper bells that were quite frightening when he glared at people.

However, he was taller and more robust than the average Innsmouth man.

He was a full 1.9 meters tall, with a body as strong as a black bear, and a jazz hat was always worn on his head, which was his Achilles' heel.

"Captain, are we just going to watch like this?" the first mate, who was also balding and somewhat hunchbacked, asked tentatively.

Thomas opened his thin lips, revealing some sharp teeth, and said, "The Hand of Chaos is not so easily destroyed."
