I am a quadrillionarire 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 would come?
‘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 Fabiola 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 Fabiola 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 plan?
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 explained 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 not come 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 can come back tomorrow and when the time comes, 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 slammed 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.
