Luo Bin took two steps forward and stood right beside Mo Qian.

"Yesterday, I said that whoever was willing to help would become deputy town chief once we succeeded. Yesterday, Luo Bin was the only one who helped me."

"If I'm the town chief, then what is he?!"

Mo Qian's voice rang out like a great bell. He grabbed Luo Bin's hand and raised it high!

"Deputy town chief!"

The Land Guard who spoke up was Li Yuan.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

It was clear that Li Yuan had stepped forward to earn some trust.

It was even clearer that, after being possessed by the poison cat, Li Yuan had not only lost his authority among the Land Guards, with Yu Hao replacing him as their leader, but had also lost his standing among the Town Residents.

Mo Qian's gaze settled on Li Yuan, and he nodded slightly.

Li Yuan's face lit up. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and pumped it forcefully.

"Deputy town chief!"

He shouted again.

After carrying out Yu Hao's instructions, some of the Land Guards hurried away.

Yu Hao hesitated briefly, then raised his hand as well and shouted, "Deputy town chief!"

Now all the Land Guards began shouting.

One stone sent a thousand ripples across the water.

The Town Residents joined in. For a time, only one voice could be heard, both inside and outside the courtyard.

"Deputy town chief!"

Mo Qian turned to Luo Bin again, a calm, confident smile on his face and a trace of pride and self-satisfaction in his eyes.

"Well? Are you satisfied?" Mo Qian asked.

His tone made him sound thoroughly pleased and content.

"It's a little too ostentatious."
