Chapter 7286

Emery burst into laughter. "Don't worry, Mr. Dan! If I'm bold enough to represent all the Top Ten Families, the Five Hidden Families, and the Four Pillars to support Mr. Harvey, it then means I have both the sincerity and the means to see it…" "Enough! This is over!" A calm but commanding voice rang out. It was so overwhelmingly powerful that everyone subconsciously wanted to get down on their knees. Then, several figures emerged as a crowd surged forward. Harvey narrowed his eyes and saw that all of Emery's bodyguards had been struck away by the powerful aura. They coughed out blood when they slammed into the ground. All of their faces were twisted in agony as they struggled. Then, eight figures in yellow robes appeared and surrounded both Harvey and Emery. Then, the voice appeared again when a woman wearing white robe appeared, her age unknowable. Her beauty was impeccable and was one of grace and maturity. There was a red mark between her brows, making her look mysterious and commanding. "Today is the only joyful day I have had in a year, and you dare to disrupt it?" She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Emery. "It's the Hierophant!" As soon as she appeared, everyone bowed with their heads hung low in respect. Even Wenzel had to step forward and nod in acknowledgement. Emery's expression was unreadable, but she bowed, nonetheless. "Greetings, Hierophant." Slap! Before Emery could even finish, the Hierophant had already slapped Emery's face and cut him off. However, it was as if he expected the Hierophant's reaction, he simply continued with a faint smile on his face. "If you're still upset, please continue." Slap! The Hierophant wasn't going to show leniency and slapped him again. This time, it was strong enough to make Emery stumble backward. Yes, he continued to smile with no resentment on his face. Slap! Slap! Slap! The hierophant simply stepped forward and continued slapping Emery. "On my joyful day with so many guests around, you dare to stir things up in front of them all? Do you think that Grand City has no one who can deal with you, or that you can simply walk all over me? Speak!" Emery didn't care about his swollen face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Calm down. Don't get angry. I know what kind of person you are. I wouldn't dare stir anything up here no matter how courageous I am. But… That's Grand City's rules. All these years, the Representative will be the scion of Grand City, and eventual mayor. This has precedent both in the past and present. "We didn't want to see Grand City fall into chaos just because of self-interest and change that rule. I swear that we didn't do this for ourselves! We're doing this as it's our duty!" Emery looked utterly sincere when he said that. His tone was one of submission. However, when Harvey saw this, his eyes darkened with caution. For a man like Emery to be humble in a place like this… Was he really submitting? Or was this simply a part of his game?
