At least, he believed that the young master would not do anything detrimental to them, his own people.
Before leaving, Los took the remaining two bottles of fat inhibitor. Now that he had a finished product, he had leverage to negotiate with Elizabeth.
The same medicine can be completely different when taken orally or injected. One is a deadly poison that kills without a trace, while the other is a good medicine that can help people get rid of obesity.
Back home, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Elizabeth's number.
"Hello, Your Excellency Mayor, is there anything I can help you with?"
After the call connected, a woman's voice came through the phone.
The former Arkham Telephone Company was also the property of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce. Now, after being reorganized by Iraq, it has created many jobs.
With the increase in the number of users, the service quality and response speed of Arkham Telephone Company as a whole have also been greatly improved.
Those who obtained these positions were naturally extremely grateful to their mayor.
Los smiled and said, "Help me pick up Clark Manor."
"Yes, great mayor."
The call was answered quickly.
With a smile, Ross asked, "Are you Ms. Clark?"
"Mayor Arkham?" Elizabeth's hesitant voice rang out.
Telephone technology is still in its infancy, and the fidelity of sound during a phone call is very low.
Los nodded and said, "Yes, it's me, Ms. Clark. Do you have time this afternoon?"
"Is there something you need?" Elizabeth didn't immediately give a reply.
Los's lips curled slightly as he said, "I'd like to buy you coffee."
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes twitched, and she wished she could smash the phone.
“If you don’t have anything else, I’m hanging up,” Elizabeth said.
Los said unhurriedly, "I already have some finished products here. Would you like to take a look?"
“A finished product!” Upon hearing this, Elizabeth’s heart skipped a beat. She knew very well that the finished product that Los was talking about was definitely not one of those ordinary items.
Elizabeth immediately replied, "I'll be there in an hour!"
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
The Queen's situation is not good now. The military faction has gradually monopolized the entire central government, and the Queen must have enough trump cards to continue to hold on.
Therefore, she urgently needs something that can change the situation.
Los put down the phone and turned to Carrington, saying, "Uncle Carrington, prepare Miss Elizabeth's favorite coffee."
Carrington nodded and said, "Understood."
An hour later, Elizabeth, though travel-worn, still tried her best to maintain her elegance and composure.
Today, Elizabeth wore a pure white off-the-shoulder lace dress and a sun hat. Combined with her exquisite makeup, she exuded an elegance and beauty that seemed untouchable and unattainable.
"My dear Elizabeth, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days." Upon seeing her, Ross happily went up to her and hugged her.
Elizabeth said with a forced smile, "You haven't changed at all. It seems that the arduous work hasn't bothered you at all. Your energy is still so high, it's enviable."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two entered the living room.
After sitting down, Los asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Elizabeth was about to say no when she looked at Los and smiled, saying, "Oh! You have such a good memory, I had forgotten that you really like coffee."
Before she could react, Los said, "Uncle Carrington, pour Elizabeth a cappuccino!"
Carrington, who had been prepared in advance, came over and poured Elizabeth a cup of coffee.
The young master always comes up with some novel and strange names.
Although he still doesn't know what cappuccino means, he knows that in the young master's mouth it represents coffee.
Elizabeth looked at the steaming coffee and felt a churning in her stomach, along with an involuntary sense of irritation.
Looking at Elizabeth's current state, Ross felt a smug smile of satisfaction, as if he had successfully pulled off a prank.
This action wasn't meant to disgust her intentionally, but rather to disrupt her mental preparation for the negotiation and throw her into a state of confusion.
After all, even with his current position, Los's negotiation skills might not be as good as Elizabeth's during her heyday.
So Los tried his best to make her dumber than himself, so that he could gain the upper hand.
"How's my cappuccino?" Los asked with a smile.
Elizabeth, exasperated, tried her best to maintain her elegance and composure, saying, "Not bad!"
“Then drink more, Uncle Carrington, and pour Elizabeth a cappuccino!” Los was very warm and hospitable.
Chapter 0082 Exchange
Although Elizabeth is still young, she is being groomed to be a future head of the secret service, so she possesses strong self-control and a wealth of experience.
She already knew that Los was constantly stimulating her mind through the coffee incident, so she was somewhat prepared this time.
Upon hearing this voice, Elizabeth, her face darkening, said, "No need, let's get straight to business."
Looking at Elizabeth's resolute expression, Ross knew that this tactic was only a supplementary measure at this point.
He immediately stopped smiling, transforming from a friendly and sunny young man into a handsome young man with a slightly melancholic look and a rather cool demeanor.
It must be said that Los Arkham has a good foundation. His brow bone is slightly protruding, and combined with his thick eyebrows, it makes his big eyes below look bright and expressive, and also gives them a special kind of divine light.
His high, straight nose had a slight hooked shape, and his cheeks were clean and sharply defined, as if sculpted by a knife. If he didn't smile, he would definitely be a cool and handsome man.
Seeing Los suddenly change like this, the still very young Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "I didn't expect this guy to be so handsome when he's serious!"
Los took out two long, thin boxes, placed them on the table, and pushed them over, saying, "This is our sincerity."
Elizabeth suppressed her excitement and carefully opened the box, finding two vials of clear medicine inside.
"What is the purpose of this potion?" Elizabeth asked, her eyes growing increasingly eager.
Los bluntly stated, "Diet pills."
"Huh!?" Upon hearing these three words, Elizabeth was stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
What happened to the mysterious metal? What happened to ruling the empire? You've been researching for almost a month and all you gave me were two diet pills?!
Elizabeth grew increasingly angry at this thought, and her once fair and beautiful face now betrayed her barely suppressed rage.
"you"
Just as Elizabeth was about to explode, Ross raised his hand and calmly interrupted her, saying, "Let me finish. As the Queen's trusted assistant here, your main job is not to fight for her interests, but to be a good listener."
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth's mouth gaped open, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time, her ugly expression quite comical.
It's hard to imagine that a beautiful young lady like Elizabeth could possess such a powerful talent for facial expressions.
“You remind me of a goddess right now,” Los suddenly said.
Elizabeth couldn't keep up with Los's train of thought at all, and her brain was a little slow to process it, so she asked, "Which goddess?"
“A water goddess named Aqua,” Los said in a serious tone, barely suppressing a laugh.
Elizabeth frowned slightly: "I've never heard of this goddess, why am I thinking of her?"
“Because… in some expressions, you and she are very similar,” Los said seriously.
Elizabeth blushed slightly at these words, then coughed and said, "Don't try to increase my favor with you through such low-level flattery. Give me an explanation right now."
Los's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of light flashing in them. Although this second-rate ancient god couldn't see through the other person's spirit and soul, he could still tell from her heartbeat and some subtle changes in her body that what she had just said was quite useful.
Los said, "This is not an ordinary diet pill. You should know that all diet pills on the market are fake."
“I know that. Some of my friends not only didn’t lose weight after taking it, but their health also deteriorated,” Elizabeth said.
Los went on to explain, "The real name of this thing is fat inhibitor, and it's something that addresses obesity at its root."
He then gave a brief explanation of how the fat inhibitor works and its actual effects.
After hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly lit up: "Just one potion can achieve this level of effect?"
Los nodded: "We have conducted very thorough human trials, and the effects are obvious and stable, with no side effects."
Elizabeth looked down at the syringe in her hand, thinking of her best friends who had become obese because of their love for sweets; these things were priceless to them.
Los warned, "Remember, this medicine can only be administered intravenously, not orally."
“Once ingested, it becomes a poison that drives people mad.” Los then explained another case in detail.
After hearing this, Elizabeth was initially surprised, but then she immediately thought of the same thing as Ross.
That means...
Los nodded: "I remember, many military officers these days are quite fat. This thing can kill without leaving a trace."
Elizabeth's eyes gradually burned with desire, and her heart began to beat faster.
Los said casually, "This is just a gift from me. Strictly speaking, this is just a byproduct of our work. Our real goal is muscle enhancers."
"Muscle strengthening!" Upon hearing these two words, Elizabeth finally heard what she had been wanting to hear all along.
Muscle enhancement can transform an ordinary person into a superhuman!
Los said, "The muscle enhancer will take some time to develop. On the other hand, we intend to use this drug as a core competitive advantage for the future development of Arkham's economy."
Elizabeth commented seriously, "If this thing really has no problems and is very effective, it will soon become popular all over the world."
Los said, "You can go back and try it first. I don't think you should be in a hurry. This thing is still some time away from mass production. As for how to use it, that depends on your and the Queen's methods."
“You don’t need to worry about that!” Elizabeth said, standing up to leave.
Ross didn't continue teasing her, saying, "Has anything unusual happened in the wealthy area lately?"
"No, these guys have been much more obedient since you took care of the Rhodes Merchant Guild."
After a pause, Elizabeth suddenly said, "By the way, you should be careful about the Green Covenant lately."
"The Green Covenant?" Los was somewhat surprised, wondering what connection he had with the Green Covenant.
Elizabeth said calmly, "Your abnormal green covenant is already known, and they have begun to dispatch an A-level crisis management team here to deal with you."
“A-level squad? What’s their strength?” Los asked.
