0052 Chapter All confiscated
On the bimonthly calendar of July 18, 1930, the entire city of Arkham had entered the hottest season of the year, with daytime temperatures reaching 35 degrees.
This kind of temperature will last until early September before there is some relief.
Fifteen days have passed since the last terrorist attack by the Hand of Chaos cultists. Even if you are not a person who experienced that incident, you still have fresh memories of that incident.
But all this is already in the past, because in the past fifteen days, all the citizens in the central area believed that these were the fifteenth days with the best security in Arkham in the past fifty years.
Those powerful police officers are so reliable and brave, and they handle any case so quickly and resolutely.
At the same time, with the continuous promulgation of new policies after the great mayor Los Arkham came to power, the number of police officers in the central area has gradually reached more than fifty.
Among these fifty people, forty have strong bodies and are as fast as a cheetah, and ten are old police officers who were personally invited by the great mayor to rejoin the police force.
These are good, kind-hearted police officers who were once marginalized. Now they finally have a chance to shine again.
The great new mayor's action style is different from that of his father and grandfather. He doesn't like meetings very much, and he doesn't need evaluations from various departments.
As long as he wants to do something, he will do it vigorously and resolutely.
For example, regarding the reconstruction work of the slums in the south, these people at the bottom thought that it would take at least half a year of evaluation and fundraising to start slowly.
Unexpectedly, only three days later, the mayor personally brought the engineering team over to conduct on-site planning and exploration.
This speed immediately shocked the entire central area again, making all citizens in the central area, even the citizens of the entire city, very happy and admired.
As of today, the entire exploration and planning has been completed, and construction is just waiting to start.
At the same time, all assets of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce have been inventoried.
The assets of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce cover all industries in the entire central area. Even the first batch of construction companies hired by Los Angeles this time were mainly controlled by the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce.
Nowadays, the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce is involved in dozens of crimes, including organizing cults, organizing gangs, selling guns and illegal drugs, etc.
At least 350 people needed to be tried, and the Chamber of Commerce was confiscated by Los Angeles very smoothly, and is now directly owned by the city government.
This operation naturally caused a lot of suspicion and dissatisfaction, including the business district, the river district, the Frankish Mountains, the North District, the wealthy district, and many other places expressed their dissatisfaction, directly stating that they would refuse indefinitely in the future.
Pay taxes.
Ever since, Ross successfully obtained the order personally issued by Her Majesty the Queen through Elizabeth, and all operations were legal.
Then, everyone shut up, but their vigilance against Los, the troublemaker, rose to the extreme.
Although the royal power of the Rosas Empire has declined, it is still an empire today. Although Her Majesty the Queen does not have enough say in national affairs, she still has absolute authority at the city level.
What's more, Arkham itself is not a large developed city, it is just a third-rate town, a town-level city.
If a company in such a small place can't handle it, then don't be the queen.
The Rhodes Chamber of Commerce has a terrifying amount of assets. After fifteen days of calculation, eight assets including railway real estate, banks, tram companies, hotels, libraries, opera houses, movie theaters, gas companies, restaurants, and construction companies were found.
Industry, the total net assets of twelve companies reached 20 million Rosa coins.
What is this concept?
The entire Arkham city government's tax revenue for the entire year is only two million Rosa dollars.
With this little tax, if you do whatever you want, the money will be gone.
Not to mention anything else, the overall cost of this renovation of the slums exceeded one million Rosa dollars.
After the 20 million Rosa coins went directly into the city's treasury, Daryl was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Now that they have taken the money, those companies will naturally take over.
Immediately, all companies and institutions under the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce became institutions of the municipal government, and then a series of troublesome operations such as rearranging the company structure began.
Over the past fifteen days, Los had literally not slept a wink, and most of the time he was working without a head.
Without experience in this area, he could only rely on his extraordinary thinking.
Los is busy here, and two brothers, Dr. Murthy and Dr. Curvin, are busy at Arkham Sanitarium.
Fifteen days ago, Ross instilled some basic knowledge and theories about blood therapy into Morsi. Although Ross thought it was a very small and basic part, it also made this knowledgeable and determined military doctor go crazy.
Two days.
In the end, Los reluctantly squeezed out a little more of the ancient god's blood and used it to transform Dr. Mursi's brain. After raising him from level nine to level 24, the doctor became completely enlightened in his madness.
Then he drew a tube of blood from each of Ross, Lilith, Carrington, Calvin, and Tracy, and then brought them back to the research room of Arkham Sanatorium, and began to study them like crazy.
In the early morning, Los "exhaled" and stretched his body: "Damn! It's finally done!"
Just now, after finally renaming all twelve companies, this matter has finally been completely settled.
"Let's go! Go out and get some fresh air." Los said and walked out.
Lilith, who was wearing smart secretary clothes and glasses, said hurriedly: "Master, you forgot to take the lead!"
Ross, who was striding out of the study, was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Lilith walking out holding her head.
With his head pressed against his neck like a helmet, Ross felt a little uncomfortable: "It felt like I was wearing a narrow helmet."
Lilith blinked: "How about changing your head?"
Ross shook his head and said: "The original ones from the factory are more comfortable."
Nowadays, Lilith no longer needs to cover up. Her external identity is Los's personal secretary and bodyguard.
These days, with the help of Los Angeles, he has visited several other districts and "visited" his "old friends" from ten years ago.
After scaring the other person half to death, he left with a smile on his face.
After wiping out the entire Hand of Chaos in two hours, possessing systematic technology for cultivating superhumans, and reshaping the entire central area in fifteen days, Los has no need to hide anymore.
It's time to let those guys know that the new mayor is different from the previous one.
As the sun rose, Ross stood at the door of his home with a smile on his face. Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by, he could clearly feel the guards on the faces of the residents coming and going gradually relaxing.
"Good morning, great mayor!"
