Chapter 7283

Harvey shrugged as he looked at the Priestess's cold expression. "I didn't expect someone with your status to be so petty. Are you here to bother me over the Staff of Jekuthiel, too?" The Priestess choked, but she remained icy and composed. "I'm not going to argue with you about who’s right or wrong about that staff right now. However, both Ms. Juliana and Mr. Hawk are guests of the Sacred Keep, and you dare break their legs in front of our gates? That's a direct insult! That's why I won't allow you to enter today. Leave!" The Priestess said all that with conviction. There were plenty of priests wearing white behind her as well, and they all looked at Harvey with veiled fury. It was obvious that what Harvey had done today had damaged the Sacred Keep's reputation. "You think you're Grand City's mayor once you become the Representative?" "You think you're above the law and you can humiliate our guests right in front of us?" "You're not here to celebrate the Hierophant's birthday, are you? You're here to cause trouble!" "Get lost!" All of them yelled at Harvey. Obviously he was not welcomed here. But he remained calm as they continued to curse at him. Still, the indifference in his eyes caused the Priestess to narrow her eyes. She saw the disdain and nonchalance in his eyes. "You've all misunderstood something. I may not be the ruler of Grand City right now, but I'm still the Representative. Is there a place in Grand City that I cannot tread? Even the Hierophant himself has sent me an invitation to come to his party, and is this the level of respect you show? "You want me out? Fine. Have the Hierophant himself tell it to my face. I'd like to see if you dare to expel me, the Representative." Then, Harvey pointed at the gate and said, "Stand aside. You have no authority to block my path." The Priestess replied icily, "Unfortunately, your title means nothing to me. If I say you're not going in, then you're not going in." Plenty of elites from the Sacred Keep stepped forward, all of them holding their sword hilts as they locked their eyes on Harvey. It was obvious that they were ready to clash with him. Before Harvey could respond, footsteps echoed behind him. Then, a calm yet forceful voice came. "Priestess, our representative must attend the party today." Everyone turned around and looked at the newcomer. Harvey also turned around, and his eyes narrowed when he saw the one who came. It was the scion of the Wrights of Wolsing, one of the Top Ten Families, Emery. They'd never met face to face, yet they felt like they had known each other for a long time. Harvey didn't expect Emery to show up, and even supported him. The Priestess clearly recognized Emery. Her expression darkened as she asked, "What's the meaning of this, Mr. Emery? Since when did the Top Ten Families have the right to interfere in Grand City's internal affairs?
