Chapter 7287

Or perhaps, Emery was showing submission because there was more to gain. Meanwhile, Wenzel's expression had finally returned to normal after it shifted a few times. He stepped forward with a smile, a decision had already been made. Harvey becoming Grand City's next mayor would be ideal. He had already considered it for some time. It would be even better if Harvey married his daughter. However, just when Wenzel wanted to step forward, the Hierophant spoke coldly. "Self-interest? Public good? What kind of a joke is this? The reason you do all this is so you can disgrace Grand City, so that your so-called Top Ten Families can stand above us at least once. Am I wrong? Well, congratulations. You've succeeded. My birthday celebration is ruined. Happy now? "This matter is now over. For the sake of that man from your family, I won't take your life today. But you will get out of here now! If you speak another word, don't expect me to show you any more mercy!" The Hierophant waved her hand, and the Priestess immediately took a step forward and pulled out the longsword from its sheath. It was obvious that the Hierophant was going to retaliate at any time. When Emery saw this, he frowned. He had planned this for a long time. However, he didn't expect the Hierophant wouldn't debate Harvey's legitimacy or whether he had the right to become mayor. He couldn't believe she instead immediately pulled out her sword. Emery realized that one wrong step at this moment and an all-out war would erupt between their two sides. That was not what he wanted. After the Hierophant suppressed Emery, she turned her icy gaze to Harvey, who hadn't spoken for a while. "Harvey, I generously invited you to my party, but instead you colluded with him so you can become the next mayor? I do not tolerate those with ambitions here. Get out!" Harvey narrowed his eyes at the Hierophant before suddenly chuckling. "I didn't know what would happen today, and I wasn't planning to disrupt your celebrations. Regardless, today is your birthday. If you wish for me to leave, I shall." With that, Harvey turned and prepared to leave. "You can leave, but leave your badge that identifies you as the Representative behind," Dan suddenly said. "Otherwise, you'll simply use it to stir things up again." The Hierophant narrowed her eyes as well. "He's right. Leave it behind." Harvey stopped before turning around and looked at them. "I can leave, but I won't leave this badge behind. I earned it with my own fists. If you want this, there's only one way to get it. Beat me one-on-one in an official duel! Otherwise, no one will have the right to take this badge away." "Outrageous!" The Hierophant's expression darkened. "It originally belonged to Grand City. You're not one of us. What right do you have to carry it? I won't abide by such treachery! Guards! Take it from him and throw him out!" Then, eight yellow-robed priests stepped forward with murderous intent in their eyes. The Priestess frowned slightly as she glared at Harvey, as if she was thinking of something in her mind.
