Chapter 2526


    How should he get through this half-day?


    Salem could not help but wonder, ‘Did David choose to go into seclusion at this time because he knew


    the two families woulde?


    ‘What’s the purpose of him doing this then?


    ‘As long as he’s here, he won’t be able to escape.


    ‘No matter what, I should try my best to buy time since I promised him.’

    After he sighed on the inside, Salem got up to get ready to face the powerhouses from the Campbell


    and Marche families.


    Outside the mayor’s residence.


    The two families’ powerhouses were already here.


    “Lady Agatha, this is the mayor’s residence, and the murderer David who killed Miss Fabi of the


    Marche family is inside,” Egan stood next to Agatha and said respectfully.


    The seniors of the Campbell family had discussed this. They would let the Marche family take the lead


    and stay back as they did not want to be the first to take action.


    As Agatha looked at the great mayor’s residence in front of her, she did not barge in immediately.


    Instead, she asked,”


    Didn’t a direct descendant of your family also die?”


    “Yes, Lady Agatha. A direct descendant from our family also died. His name is Perry and he’s the


    groom of the arranged marriage with Miss Fabi of your family,” Egan answered honestly.


    “Since a direct descendant of your family also died, why didn’t you take action but decided to wait for


    us?”


    Egan was shocked.


    Did the Marche family discover the Campbell family’s n?


    After he thought about it, he figured this was impossible.


    Only the seniors of his family knew about this and they would never spread this.


    Egan was panicking on the inside, but on the outside, he remained calm. He exined patiently, “Lady


    Agatha, indeed, we can take action before your family to arrest David. The reason we didn’t do that is


    because we’re worried you’ll be unhappy with us. After all, the person who died in this incident is the


    young mistress of your family. We, as the Marche family’s partner, have to make sure that we don’t


    embarrass you. So, I’ve sent a lot of people to watch David’s every move and wait for the Marche


    family’s arrival.”


    “Did you find out who David is then?” Agatha continued asking.


    “No! It’s as if this person showed up in Amber City from thin air. We can’t find out who he is.”


    “Since the mayor of Amber City received him in person, does it mean he knows this person’s identity?”


    “I am not too sure about this. Salem is indeed stronger than me and he’s also the mayor, so perhaps he


    knows.”


    While the two were talking, Salem walked out of the mayor’s residence.


    Behind him were the powerhouses of his family who stayed in The Spirit Cage.


    Yet, these people were much inferior to the people the two families brought.


    “Everyone, why are you at the mayor’s residence? Can I help you with anything?” Salem braced


    himself and asked.


    Currently, he could not even begin to speak about his difficulties.


    He thought one day would pass very quickly and the two families would note so quickly.


    Unexpectedly, they came together after David was in seclusion for half a day.


    “Mayor Salem, stop pretending. You know why we’re here. David is inside, right? Hand him over. This


    has nothing to do with your family,” Egan shouted.


    He had to be the one who spoke first.


    It had been five days since the incident and yet the Campbell family did not do anything to David. This


    caused Agatha to be suspicious.


    If he did not take the initiative to do something, Agatha would suspect him.


    ‘Deputy Mayor Egan, David is indeed inside my residence, but because of some reasons, I can’t hand


    him to you for the time being. You cane back tomorrow and when the timees, I won’t interrupt


    you,” Salem answered.


    “Salem, I hope you can be clear about what’s happening right now. Have you thought of the


    consequences of your representing your family to go against the Marche and Campbell families?”


    “I never want to go against you two, but I promised David that I’ll protect him for one day. It has only


    been half a day and I can’t go back on my promise. Moreover, my actions only represent myself and it


    has nothing to do with the Birch family.” Salem decided to go all out.


    Since he promised David, he would try his best to fulfill his promise.


    Thud!


    Agatha lifted her cane and mmed it down on the ground.


    A sound wave began spreading.


    It immediately caused Salem, the mayor of Amber City, to stand petrified where he stood.
