Hammer stood by, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he watched the police occasionally throw out luggage and tools from the tent.
"Damn it, this Hiram." He muttered angrily, pulling out his phone and dialing Jin Bradley's number.
In the tunnel hall, Jin Bradley listened to Hammer's words on the phone. That insatiable mayor had even personally brought people to seal off the site.
"Don't worry, Boss is already up there." Jin Bradley simply replied, then hung up.
Hammer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, a fawning smile reappearing on his face as he walked towards Hiram.
"Hehehe, Mayor Hiram."
Hiram frowned slightly, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, but didn't respond.
"It's like this, Mayor Hiram, my boss will be here shortly."
"You see, we can still talk. We can pretend this遗迹 (relic/ruins) never happened."
"Everything inside belongs to you. You just need to give us another piece of land."
Hammer spoke earnestly, but Hiram didn't even look at him, dashing his hopes. "This damn, insatiable fat pig." In the end, he could only curse inwardly.
"Hehe...bleh bleh bleh..." Behind Hiram, a little girl with twin pigtails gave Hammer a sly, mischievous grin, making a funny face.
"Mr. Mayor, we didn't find any artifacts. There's only this stuff on site." A police officer ran up to Hiram and saluted, pointing to the chaotic pile of items on the ground.
Hammer breathed a sigh of relief. If they were caught with evidence of privately stealing artifacts again, he'd be in deep trouble.
"Are you an idiot!?" Hiram, however, glared, roaring at the police officer, spittle flying. "Artifacts are valuable things, and valuable things are naturally artifacts!"
"Find all the valuable things for me!"
"Uh... yes." The police officer seemed startled by the mayor's shamelessness and immediately replied.
A moment later, only a few items lay before Hiram: four laptops and a small safe.
"That's all there is, Mr. Mayor." Looking at Hiram's twitching cheek, the police officer's forehead broke out in cold sweat. There really wasn't much valuable stuff among these people. Actually, if they were talking about valuable things, the various tools carried by the exploration team below were worth quite a bit.
"Open this safe." Hiram commanded. The police officer turned to examine the small safe, realizing it required both a password and a key to open. He immediately pulled out his pistol.
Bang! After a gunshot, white smoke billowed from the safe. He pried it open easily, revealing a black and red wooden box inside.
"Mr. Mayor." The police officer held up the wooden box, examining it carefully. Noticing some faint patterns on it, his face lit up. He carried the box to Hiram.
"Ah~ an artifact!" Hiram hadn't even had time to take the box from the police officer's hand when the twin-tailed girl behind him immediately leaped forward, reaching out to touch the wooden box.
Slap! Just as the girl's fingers were about to touch the wooden box, a hand grabbed her wrist.
"This is not something you can touch." A figure appeared like a phantom, suddenly before everyone, his voice low, his eyes cold. The twin-tailed girl looked at the figure dressed in a suit. The moment their gazes met, she felt as if she were in the depths of a freezing winter night, with chilling winds howling past, bone-chilling.
With just one glance, even her thoughts were frozen.
"Grab him!" Hiram was the first to snap back to reality, ordering the police officers in front of him, his face ferocious.
The police officer holding the black and red wooden box immediately straightened his expression, put down the wooden box, and simultaneously pulled out his pistol and handcuffs, pointing the gun at Illumi.
Whoosh! Everyone's vision blurred. Illumi suddenly appeared on the other side of the police officer, catching the black and red wooden box as it fell.
Gulp... Someone swallowed. This time, everyone present understood how he moved, and thus fear rose in their hearts. Instantly disappearing, instantly appearing.
"You... who are you?" Mayor Hiram's legs turned to jelly, his voice even trembling a little.
Illumi looked up at Hiram, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. The moment Hiram's gaze met Illumi's, he saw countless ice spikes made of blood condensing before his eyes, rushing towards him, piercing his body, blood splattering.
"Ah..." He immediately screamed, his eyes rolling back as he fell backward, fainting.
"No... don't move!" The police officer holding the pistol snapped back to reality at the sound of the mayor falling. He raised his pistol and pointed it at Illumi, his face terrified.
Click-clack click-clack... Other police officers around also raised their pistols, aiming at Illumi in the center of the crowd. But, for a moment, no one dared to pull the trigger.
"Boss..." Hammer's gaze towards Illumi was also filled with fear, his hand clutching his handkerchief trembling slightly.
"I asked you, how did the negotiations with the local government go?" Illumi didn't even look at the police officers pointing guns at him. Instead, he looked directly at Hammer and asked.
"This... well..." Hammer's mouth twitched, his heart pounding, fine beads of sweat constantly appearing on his forehead. "This person who you scared unconscious is the Mayor of Biluo City."
Illumi looked down at the short, plump man lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and frowned slightly. It wasn't the Cultural Relics Bureau that came, but the Mayor of Biluo City himself, leading a group of police officers to seal off the site. The reason for this became clear in an instant.
"Take your mayor back. Notify the Cultural Relics Bureau to take over the site." Illumi turned sideways and looked at the police officer pointing a gun at his head, his legs trembling, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes... yes!" That police officer felt he didn't even have the courage to say no. As if facing his direct superior, he instinctively saluted. He quickly bent down, carried Mayor Hiram, then pulled the mayor's daughter, loaded both into a police car. Over a dozen police cars sped away from the construction site with wailing sirens.
"Boss, what about our land and construction..." Hammer stepped forward, asking Illumi for instructions. In this situation, if the land issue wasn't resolved, construction couldn't proceed.
"Don't worry, the matter will be resolved." Just as Hammer was contemplating what to do next, the figure before him suddenly lowered, transforming into the likeness of Mayor Hiram.
"You just need to wait for good news from the government." Hammer's mouth hung open. He looked at the figure before him, whose voice was identical, and even the clothes on its body had changed.
"Boss?" Hammer tentatively called out, only to be met with a cold gaze that made him shiver and dare not speak further.
