LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 518: Chapter 482: Well Aware Chapter 518: Chapter 482: Well Aware “Certainly.”

Rocky smiled and did not make things difficult for Abraham over the obviously fudged figures. Instead, he nodded after Abraham had provided a clearly improvised explanation, “Abraham, I hope that the next time we meet, we won’t have such misunderstandings.”

“You may go.”

After saying that, Rocky waved his hand, indicating that Abraham and his people could leave.

Seeing this, especially Rocky’s gesture allowing him to depart, Abraham felt indescribably bitter inside. He truly regretted taking on this task. So, after agreeing, he did not utter another word and sullenly led his people away. When they left the City Lord’s Mansion, they didn’t even take back their Side Swords and weapons they had submitted earlier—not because they had forgotten, but because they couldn’t bear to stay a second longer.

“Well done, Brother Rocky.”

As soon as they had left, Bodin and others in the hall gave Rocky a thumbs-up.

“Brother Rocky, your finance officer is quite capable, isn’t she? No wonder Thunderhawk City has developed so quickly in just a few years. It seems you really do have a wealth of talent at your disposal.”

After glancing at Aileen, Maros, the City Lord of Benevolent King City, couldn’t help but offer praises. Aileen was able to spot the error in the list in such short time and it wasn’t nitpicking—she had uncovered a real trick. This proved her exceptional ability in this area. Not to mention her understanding of prices and grasp over the entire market situation; in this respect, few could match her.

“You flatter me, elder brother. These are trifling matters for Aileen,” Rocky replied.

Being praised by someone like Maros, a high-ranking City Lord, naturally made Rocky happy.

After a brief conversation with the three City Lords, Rocky turned to another matter.

“General Claudy, dispatch the Alliance Army.”

“Yes, sir!”

With that response, Claudy turned and left the City Lord’s Hall.

Meanwhile, Abraham and co., having left the City Lord’s Mansion, had already boarded their Skyship and were speeding away from Thunderhawk City as if their tails were on fire.

Indeed, they were ablaze with urgency—or more aptly, it was a hair-singeing urgency. They had no wish to stay in Thunderhawk City any longer, and on the other hand, they had to report these events back to their family clans urgently.

After leaving Thunderhawk City, Abraham led his people non-stop back to Soaring Dragon City.

Soaring Dragon City, a large Sky City, was under the current rule of the Mairente Family’s Lexington, making it the central city for the family, just like Machine City had been before.

Upon returning to Soaring Dragon City, Abraham immediately met with his father and recounted the day’s events to Lexington from beginning to end.

Lexington had been anxiously awaiting Abraham’s return—not because he doubted his son’s ability to handle the task, but out of worry that there might be complications from the Alliance’s side. It had to be said that Lexington, the seasoned veteran, had a foresight that proved to be accurate, as the situation had indeed unfolded as he feared!

When he learned that Rocky himself had come to collect reparations on behalf of the Alliance, Lexington was just as stunned as Abraham had initially been.

For Lexington, such a bewildered expression was an exceedingly rare occurrence.

“How… could it be him…”

Gazing at Abraham somewhat dazedly, Lexington remained stunned for a full ten seconds before regaining his composure, then he looked at his son.

Father and son locked eyes, each seeing the same look of bewilderment in the other.

Why had it come to this?

“…”

Having glanced at his son, Lexington sighed and immediately said, “Summon all the Elders for an emergency family meeting.”

After uttering these words, he left the room with a frown on his face and headed to the meeting room alone.

By the time the Mairente Family’s Elders received the news and rushed over one after another, Lexington had already been waiting alone in the meeting room for quite some time. Once all the Elders of the family had arrived, he had Abraham repeat everything he had previously told him before everyone.

Following this, Lexington asked bluntly,

“My friends, how do you think we should handle this matter?”

After finishing his question, he looked at each person in the meeting room, and as his gaze swept over each one, they all lowered their heads, including Abraham.

This was no surprise to them, for the matter was indeed a difficult one to handle.

It was true that the Mairente Family had been somewhat cunning with the debt repayment in goods, but it wasn’t entirely their fault, as using goods to settle debts inherently offered much leeway, and it was only natural for people to be a bit tricky in such matters.

In fact, according to the Mairente Family’s plan, they had intended to prepare a special gift for the Alliance’s representative, which, once accepted, would ensure the representative would not trouble them further on this matter. This way, they would not only clear their debt to the Alliance but also save a substantial sum of money for the family. Why would they not do so?

However, they never expected that the person the Alliance would send would be Rocky!

With that, the family’s plan was completely ruined because Rocky was someone who would never ‘accept a gift’—not because Rocky was exceptionally fair and impartial, but because he had no interest in such trivial matters. His goal this time was not something as simple as a large gift.

So when Lexington asked what others thought they should do, everyone lowered their heads.

And like this, the meeting room fell into silence until someone finally broke it after a long while.

The person who broke the silence was none other than Abraham.

“Father…”

Turning to look at his father, Abraham, though hesitant, eventually said, “Father, Rocky’s target… is Mairente City…”

As soon as Abraham spoke these words, he let out an inevitable sigh—not just him, most of the family’s Elders present did the same.

What exactly did Rocky want?

This was a question Rocky himself had never answered, not to Abraham, and not even to Bodin and the others, but everyone was nonetheless acutely aware of his desires.

He wanted his own Sky City!

He wanted the medium-sized Sky City that the family had swindled from him years ago!

That Sky City was none other than Mairente City!

A few days earlier, Athena had asked a question; she wanted to know the original name of Mairente City, but sadly, at the time, Abraham had declined under the pretense of family privacy. However, the truth was that it was no private matter at all. The present Mairente City was the very Sky City that the family had deceitfully taken from Rocky, renaming it only after acquiring it.

Before that, the Sky City was known as Carltos City, named after Rocky’s mother’s surname!

Rocky’s purpose in coming here was for this very city!
