Chapter 291 Artes's Past

After determining the policy, Los did not rush to inform Joel, but met with Borg who had returned first.

In the mayor's office, Artes stood aside nervously, while Borg was relatively relaxed and waited quietly.

"Don't be nervous, Mayor Arkham is a very easy-going and enthusiastic person. He has an excellent vision and will show enough goodwill to all talents like you."

"Tell me everything you know. If it is useful to the mayor, you will definitely win his protection."

Hearing Borg's words, Artes felt a little relieved, and then thanked Borg again: "Thank you for your help."

"I didn't have many friends in the capital at the beginning, and you were one of them. Now you don't have to be polite." Borg smiled.

While the two were talking, the door of the office was opened. Under Artes' gaze, a handsome and slightly melancholy literary young man walked in.

The young man has a well-proportioned figure and walks briskly. His temperament looks more like a student who has just graduated. Apart from his aristocratic melancholy temperament and handsome face, there is not much worth noting.

"Mayor!" Borg's voice sounded beside Artes when he didn't know who this person was and why he came here.

Artes was stunned: "This is... the mayor who governs the entire Arkham!?"

Los' eyes swept across Artes' face, and then looked at Borg with a happy smile and asked: "From the look of you, you must have brought me good news again."

Borg strode over and shook hands with Los, and then laughed: "You really know me too well. This time I went to the August Empire and officially contacted the big tycoon, the Johnson family. He is very optimistic about the current status of Arkham's special zone and has a strong desire to cooperate, but he is a little worried about our current situation."

Los sat down casually, leaned back in his chair and said: "I have a feeling that they should not be worried now."

Borg laughed immediately He said twice, and then said with some pride: "Under my lobbying, they now believe in our strength. In a few days, they will send people to inspect us. They said that if we solve the freight problem, they can always have a stable long-term cooperation with us."

Loss was very satisfied: "The August Empire is rich in spices and excellent fabrics. These things are in short supply in our Rosas Empire. They have been controlled by the three major families of the military for many years. It is time to change the dealer."

Borg continued: "In addition, Mayor, I also encountered two large-scale pirate groups this time. The two gangs together have a total of 300 people."

"Oh? It seems that your acquaintance with them should be a very exciting story." Los said with a smile.

Borg was immediately excited to tell about his bravery and strength at that time, but then he thought that Artes was still beside him, and then he restrained his desire to perform.

With a cough, Borg introduced: "By the way, Mr. Mayor, let me introduce this person. This is one of my few friends in the imperial capital, Viscount Regan Artes. He now knows some very important news, which may be able to help you."

Artes hurried forward, bowed and said: "Great and wise Mayor of Arkham, Regan Artes offers you sincere greetings."

Looking at this standard aristocratic etiquette, Los smiled and said: "Viscount Artes, please sit down. Arkham welcomes friends who come with good intentions."

Artes said nervously: "Dear Mr. Mayor, I am no longer a viscount. My title, my company, and my land have all been taken away."

Under Artes's nervous gaze, Los still had a gentle smile on his face: "I like honest friends, Mr. Artes, and I like those who have stories, because in many cases, I may be able to help them change the ending of the story."

Hearing these gentle but domineering words, Artes immediately felt that his future was bright.

Under Borg's guidance, he sat down carefully.

At this time, the office door opened, and a beautiful red-haired girl in a white suit came in with two cups of black tea, and said to the two with a smile as bright as spring breeze: "Please have it."

Artes hurriedly thanked him, and watching the aroma and steam gradually emanating from the black tea, he gradually relaxed.

Los: "Then, tell me your story, Mr. Artes."

Artes took a deep breath and said: "Half a year ago, I was a very prosperous viscount, with a happy family, two pastures and a farm, and a bank founded by our family."

"Financial talent?" Los' eyes lit up immediately.

Artes nodded: "But my happy and peaceful life was soon broken."

"Serial murders occurred one after another in the capital. I thought such things would stay away from the well-safe manor area, but that night, a dark shadow flashed by and I fainted."

"When I woke up, I found myself standing there covered in blood, holding a knife in my hand. In front of me, two maids in my family were lying naked and disemboweled."

Los thought for a moment and said: "Serial Ripper? I seem to have heard of this news."

Artus nodded: "That's the news. At that time, a group of policemen surrounded me. Then they accused me of being the serial murderer, saying that I killed six women in a row and had the habit of raping corpses. "

"Overnight, the Ates family was completely covered in dust. Faced with this ironclad evidence, my wife and children no longer believed me. Finally, she took my children back to her parents' home and has not contacted me since. Pass."

"There are a lot of problems with this matter."

Artus clenched his fists: "Of course there is a problem! Because I was framed by those damn guys!"

"The lackey of the Eisen family, the despicable Peng Ao!"

Borg on the side explained: "Li Pengao, a senior director of the Merchants Guild, is mainly responsible for the financial cooperation between the bank and the Chamber of Commerce."

Ross nodded in understanding.

Artes clenched his fists and said: "Their goal is for my family bank. They arrested me and tortured me to extract a confession. How could I admit it?"

"Later! They admitted directly in front of me that all of this was designed by them for the benefit of our family bank. As long as I sign the relevant authorization letter for property transfer, all previous charges can be cancelled."

"If I don't agree, not only will I die, but my wife and children will also be threatened!"

"I'm not afraid of death, but Linn and Bol..." Artus' face was full of helplessness and worry.
