"But ever since you arrived in Grand City, turmoil after turmoil engulfs the once perfectly stable city. The path that had already been set for Grand City kept on changing. Even Dan, who was destined to be the scion, could no longer hold his position without fear. All of this is because of you," said the Priestess, blaming Harvey as she did not even bother making any excuses. Instead, she simply acknowledges everything."Your existence brings no benefit to Grand City. You will only cause even more chaos. That is why making you leave is the best outcome for everyone involved." After stating that, the Priestess then picked up the brewed tea that had been brewing for some time and sipped it slowly. It was obvious she was waiting for Harvey's answer.Harvey sighed and started to walk over to the edge of the hot spring. With a smile, he replied, "That's not exactly difficult, but the problem is I'm not ready to leave Grand City yet. I still have things that I need to finish here. Once I'm

Harvey didn't hide what had happened from Vaida. He answered the phone with a smile. "I did meet the Priestess. While we had a confrontation and our chat didn't exactly end on a delightful note, we didn't fight. But now, I'm sure that the Priestess is siding with Dan. Now that your dad is back, the Priesthood has almost no possibility of ever winning the throne. The only thing they can do is side with Dan."Listening to Harvey's calm analysis, Vaida paused and then said slowly, "If the Priesthood truly is siding with Dan, then it's going to be very problematic."Harvey smiled. "It is quite problematic, true—especially when their effectiveness increases exponentially when they're working together. In fact, their shared goal seems to be kicking me out of the city first. The Priesthood is being cautious and is aiming to make me leave on my own accord. But for Dan, he probably wants to kill me and won't stop until I'm dead."Harvey shrugged, somewhat speechless at how things were go

"Sorry to disappoint you, madam. Not only am I here, I'm also perfectly healthy," Harvey said to Camellia. He wasn't going to hold his tongue back as he smiled back at her."Oh, right. When I see you, I can't help but worry a little. I didn't hold back with that slap yesterday, after all. Seeing that your face has returned to how pretty it was today, you must have used some kind of powerful drug. Can you share it with me? I might need it for myself one day."Since Camellia was making it look like nothing, Harvey didn't mind humiliating her one more time. He believed his words this time would be even more satisfying than the slap he gave her yesterday.Camellia sighed. "You're quite remarkable, you know that? However, you're the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance after all, and are also the true Mayor of Grand City. You'll command the entire Grand City in the future. Forget about slapping me once… To me, you slapping me a dozen or a hundred times is a gift. If you desi

"True," Wenzel said to Harvey with a shrug. "But the real reason is that I can't keep him there. After my return, at least ten calls were asking and pleading for Silvan's release. If I keep refusing, a lot of things will become unnecessarily difficult. By taking this opportunity to free him, I'm giving everyone involved a chance to step away gracefully."But tell me. By doing this, do I seem a bit cowardly in your eyes as the mayor of Grand City?"Harvey smiled faintly. "There's no shame in coming from humble origins and being flexible when the situation demands. That's something only a real man can do. While I don't know your full strategy, if letting Silvan go is part of your plans, then temporary losses don't mean much."Wenzel looked at Harvey with admiration. It was obvious that he placed a lot of importance on the young man who could easily see through his intentions. Unfortunately, after interacting with him in the past few days, Wenzel knew that making Harvey stay would be

"Are you really that disappointed about not becoming the wife of Grand City's scion? Or maybe you really did fall for Dan?" Harvey asked Lanny gently as he stepped on the gas."If you really can't let go of him, you can still choose to exit the car. To me, you're just an extra move I make on the chessboard. It doesn't matter much to me whether I make this move or not. But to you, this is a choice that will reflect in your future. I hope you'll think this through carefully," Harvey said seriously, slowing down the car.He was being genuine when he made those comments. If Lanny couldn't work for him wholeheartedly, then he preferred she stay in Dan's faction. Otherwise, she would become something that might explode at any time.Lanny didn't reply.Only after a long time did she say, "When it comes to my feelings, I'm very sure I can't give up on Dan. I grew up around him all these years, after all. Rationally, I know that after what happened at the Forbidden Land, I've already become
