While Salem was hesitating, David said again, âMayor Salem, perhaps there wonât be any danger in just one day. Itâs been five days and I donât see the two families coming here to make trouble for me.
They should still be making preparations. You can get a favor from me without wasting any effort, so why are you still hesitating? Do you think my favor is worthless?â
âNo! Youâve misunderstood me. To be honest, I knew you had a promising future the first time I met you, so thatâs why I asked Arian to apologize to you. However, as a Birch family member, my actions represent my family and now that the Campbell and Marche families are working together, my family is also helpless,â
Salem said with a bitter smile.
David did not expect Salem to say no to him.
He thought that as the mayor, Salem would be pretty bold and he would not have so many considerations.
It seemed that he could not underestimate the collaboration of the Campbell and Marche families.
Since Salem had said this, David would not force him.
He could just delay for a few more days and wait for the two familiesâ first attack to pass before leaving The Spirit Cage for his breakthrough.
He was confident that his Ancient level 1 soul power was enough to deal with the two families.
Until now, the strongest person David met in The Spirit Cage was still that mysterious person.
However, it was unsure who would be the stronger one if he met the mysterious person now.
Moreover, that mysterious person was the one who ransacked the treasures of the eight main cities.
From this, David could deduce that the mysterious person was so strong that they could do whatever they wanted in the eight main cities of The Spirit Cage. After the forces sent them the treasures, they did not even dare to make a sound.
From this, David felt that he was also strong enough to do whatever he wanted in The Spirit Cage.
âIf thatâs the case, I wonât bother you anymore. Donât worry, Mayor Salem, I wonât take this to heart and this wonât affect the relationship between us. So long!â David got up to leave after he said that.
After a few steps, Salem stopped him.
âWait, David!â
âIs there anything else I can help you with, Mayor Salem?â David asked.
Salem thought about it and asked after bracing himself, âAre you sure youâll only be in seclusion for one day?â
âOf course! It will just be one day, maybe even less.â David nodded.
âAlright, just use the mayorâs residence to go into seclusion. Even if the two families are here, I will also help you delay for one more day.â
In the end, Salem decided to bet on this. He was very optimistic about this young man.
He felt that David was not someone who would escape just before the battle. Perhaps he really needed this one day.
âMayor Salem, to be honest, you donât have to force yourself. I donât have to go into seclusion at this time. It wonât be too late for me to do it after the two families arrive,â David said.
He did not need to go into seclusion at this time indeed.
He just figured that since he had enough lavish points, he should use them.
The more powerful he was, the more confident he would be, right?
He did not expect that asking Salem to protect Pebbles for one day would be so hard for him.
David figured this was just a small matter, but to Salem, this was something huge.
This was the difference in perspective.
When two people had different perspectives, they would naturally consider different consequences for the same problem.
âDavid, I have debated with myself a long time before agreeing, so please donât reject me anymore.â
âWell⦠Fine!â David stopped arguing too.
He would benefit from an early breakthrough too.
âWhen will you start?â
David opened his system to take a look. He already had 2.77 million lavish points.
He only needed 30 thousand more to get to the 2.8 million that he needed for his breakthrough.
âAbout an hour later.â
âAlright, Iâll ask someone to prepare a room for you.â
âThank you, Mayor Salem.â
âYouâre welcome! Youâre welcome!â
