It was a race against time.
My original schedule for the takeover was twenty-four hours. Within twenty-four hours I was to take control of the entire city of Artia. With a day gone, I currently had less then six hours left.
"That's plenty enough."
Using Lorna's explanation and my connection as the manager of Imperius, I easily obtained access to see the Mayor of Artia. Since I couldn't wait for a long period of time to be granted an audience with the man, I had to speed up the process.
The office of the mayor was initially hesitant when faced with the urgency of my visit, but due to the prestige Imperius carries, and the fact that I was a new manager, they became more complacent and caught and they agreed to let me meet the mayor within an hour.
"All these unnecessary formalities. The mayor isn't even that busy a man in the first place," I smirked as I spoke to myself.
