LORD OF THE SKY CITY

“Are the reparations goods all prepared?”

In the family meeting room, as the Clan Leader, Lexington spoke and looked towards his son.

“Clan Leader, everything has been prepared according to the Alliance’s demands,” Abraham couldn’t help but sigh before answering, indicating that the reparations required by the Alliance had all been prepared as requested.

“There must be no errors, do not give the Alliance any chance to find fault, understood?”

Even after receiving a positive response, Lexington still felt uneasy and reminded everyone.

As an experienced player, he was well aware of how difficult the Alliance’s envoys, who came to collect war reparations, were to deal with. If there was the slightest mistake on the Mairente Family’s part and the other side found fault, the family would undoubtedly have to pay a hefty additional price, so there could be absolutely no mistakes.

“We have checked and verified many times over, there will be no errors, and we have also prepared the benefits for the other party,” Abraham reassured his father, nodding repeatedly. He stated that everything had been checked many times and, although he didn’t yet know who the Alliance’s envoy was, the family had prepared a significant benefit for them in order to avoid any trouble on this matter.

“Alright…”

Only after hearing this did Lexington finally relax and then he turned his gaze to the others.

Following his gaze, everyone was looking down, silent, no one spoke or looked at him, the entire meeting room was imbued with an air of dead silence.

This atmosphere was not only pervasive in the meeting room, but it had also long since spread throughout the family. Since the end of the war, the ceasefire agreement between the three major forces was tantamount to sentencing the Rebel Army to death.

The Sky Alliance indeed did not retaliate against the Rebel Army, but the amount of reparations it demanded was clearly intended to bleed the Rebel Army dry. Once the demands for reparations by the Alliance were met, all members of the Rebel Army would be thoroughly beaten down to their original state.

In such circumstances, the Mairente Family, as part of the Rebel Army, could not escape, and it was inevitable that the atmosphere within the family became dead silent as well.

In fact, at this time, whether it be the family elders in the meeting room or the family members outside, they all thought of one person, that was the former Clan Leader Atted. They especially remembered Atted’s initial insistence on preventing the family from joining the war. Now looking back, he truly had the foresight…

However, it was too late to say anything now, the war was over, and the Alliance’s envoy to collect the reparations was already en route. The only thing the family could do now was to send the envoy from the Alliance away as soon as possible, and then figure out a way to regroup.

So, after sighing, Lexington waved his hand and ended the family meeting.

But no sooner had he left the meeting room than someone immediately ran up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

“Oh? She’s here?”

After hearing the subordinate’s whisper, Lexington furrowed his brow, “Are you sure?”

“Very sure, and the City Lord of Glory City, Alas, has also sent a message asking us to ensure her protection,” the subordinate reported.

“Hmph, ensure her protection… Is he asking us to keep an eye on this woman, to make sure she doesn’t escape?” Lexington muttered.

“Father, what is it?”

“`

Just as Lexington let out a snort of disdain, Abraham happened to come up beside him, asking involuntarily.

“Athena has come.”

After glancing at his son, Lexington then said.

“Why has she come?”

Hearing this, Abraham’s eyes widened and his expression turned somewhat bizarre.

Athena was someone Abraham certainly knew, not just knew, but understood all too well how terrifying she could be. In fact, by now, the Mairente Family had learned some of the details of Cyril’s departure, although they still hadn’t grasped the full story, they at least knew that Cyril’s departure was somehow related to Athena.

Logically, since Athena was involved in matters akin to splitting the family, she should definitely have been sought out, but the Mairente Family had not done so. Why?

Because this woman was too terrifying!

Athena’s foresight was too profound, profound to the extent that when others could only see three steps into the future, she had already seen ten. Facing such a terrifying woman, even the Mairente Family dared not provoke her, especially since Athena was still in Glory City. The City Lord of Glory City relied on her to devise many of his plans, and he provided her with rigorous protection. If the Mairente Family touched this woman, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to provoking Glory City.

What had utterly taken Abraham by surprise was why Athena had suddenly arrived at his own family’s doorstep?

What was this woman planning now?

This question wasn’t something that only Abraham wanted to know—Lexington wanted to know as well, and even the City Lord of Glory City was eager to find out, because every move Athena made was meaningful. She didn’t just suddenly appear at the Mairente Family; even if she was doing nothing and just staying at home, it was meaningful.

However, although everyone was clear that Athena’s sudden visit must signify something, no one could understand what the problem actually was. That’s why the City Lord of Glory City contacted Lexington, instructing him to ensure Athena’s safety at all costs.

After this, Lexington said to his son, “Abraham, go and meet with Athena, see if you can find out her purpose for coming here. Also, make arrangements for her safety.”

“Yes, I’ll go now.”

Abraham agreed immediately and set out at once, for the presence of a woman like Athena had made him extremely anxious, especially since the family’s current situation could no longer withstand any further turmoil.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Abraham got into a carriage and then inquired about Athena’s whereabouts from his subordinate.

“What did you say?”

“Where did that woman go?”

“My lord, Miss Athena went to Mairente City.”

“Hmm…”

After confirming Athena’s location over and over again with his subordinate, Abraham couldn’t help but frown, unable to understand what Athena would want in Mairente City.

It had been said before that as one of the leading families, the Mairente Family owned more than a dozen Sky Cities, including four large Sky Cities, seven medium-sized ones, and five small ones. After the previous great battle, the family had lost two of the medium-sized Sky Cities and two of the small ones, but even so, they still had over ten cities.

The Mairente City where Athena had gone was one of them, except this Sky City, though named after the family, wasn’t a large one; it was actually a medium-sized Sky City and a very special one at that.
