LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 520: Chapter 484: Triumphant Return to Hometown! Chapter 520: Chapter 484: Triumphant Return to Hometown! “`

Shortly after Abraham left, the family meeting soon came to an end, and ultimately, it didn’t yield any definite conclusion. Everyone simply agreed to continue negotiations with the Alliance, or to put it bluntly, to keep negotiating with Rocky to see if they could resolve the matter at the smallest cost possible.

But deep down, every member of the family was well aware that this negotiation was merely a last-ditch effort to save face, and the actual outcome was unlikely to change much.

Even so, the family still hoped to fight for their interests, so they quickly sent someone to Thunderhawk City again.

This time, the leader of the delegation was not Abraham, for he really didn’t want to see Rocky again, so instead, one of the Elders took his place.

However, when the people from the Mairente Family arrived at Thunderhawk City this time, they were informed that they could not enter the city as soon as they stepped off the skyship.

Why?

Because Rocky had decided to change the location of the negotiations. He had chosen Carltos City, now known as Mairente City, as the new venue!

This request didn’t surprise the Mairente Family at all. In fact, it made Rocky’s intentions clear, and everyone understood what he meant.

So, the Mairente Family didn’t struggle too much; they simply agreed to his request and then opened up Mairente City, that is, Carltos City, for him.

Afterward, Rocky led a large contingent to the Sky City.

Although the Mairente Family had already shown obvious compliance, Mairente City still belonged to the family until everything was settled. Rocky’s actions still carried considerable risk, especially since he had been the target of an assassination in Eternal City; who knew what might happen once he entered Mairente City.

So, despite the Sky City having been brought next to Thunderhawk City, Rocky still brought a large number of troops. There’s no need to mention the fleet; as soon as Mairente City got close to Thunderhawk City, it was surrounded by the Alliance Army’s fleet. In addition to the fleet, Rocky also brought with him forty squads of the Void Magic Squad as protection for this trip!

Such an ostentatious display wasn’t because Rocky was overly cautious; it was because this time it wasn’t just him going to Mairente City. Bodin and others were joining him, so the forty Void Magic Squads were not only protecting Rocky but the other three City Lords as well, averaging out to ten squads per person.

Under such circumstances, Rocky’s arrival at Mairente City aboard a warship could truly be described as a grand spectacle, extremely impressive.

“Finally back…”

With a crowd escorting him, Rocky slowly descended from the warship, and when his feet touched the land of the Skyport, he couldn’t help but feel sentimental. He had finally returned to the Sky City!

Rocky wasn’t actually very familiar with the Sky City that originally belonged to him, because it had been taken away by his family even before he had crossed over to this world. So, after crossing over, besides remembering this fact, Rocky didn’t recall what the city looked like.

Yet, it was as if this matter was a fixation in his heart, always lurking within, feeling almost as if he’d never be able to shake off the ghost of the old Rocky if he couldn’t resolve this obsession.

The feeling sounded a bit mystical, but when Rocky truly set foot in the city, and when he truly felt a refreshing clarity as if he had finally been released, he couldn’t help but believe it.

In fact, he wasn’t the only one who felt liberated.

When Rocky looked to his side, he saw Liliya and noticed her eyes were already red.

Back when Rocky was deceived by his family and driven out, only Liliya stayed by his side, so she was fully aware of how great an impact that event had had on him at the time.

Before his journey through time, Rocky may have seemed weak, but he was not foolish; everything the family had done appeared as a betrayal in his eyes, and he had become listless and sullen, causing Thunderhawk City to fall into desolation.

And through all of that, only Liliya stood beside him.

Therefore, this time, as they returned to Sky City, which rightfully belonged to Rocky from the start, Liliya was no less moved than Rocky himself.

“Why cry, we should be happy,” he said, glancing at Liliya, and with that, he reached out and gently wiped away the tear that was forming in her eye, then he gave an apologetic smile to the three City Lords beside him.

But to the three City Lords, what was there to be sorry about?

After that, everyone got into the carriages and headed straight to the City Lord’s Mansion under the escort of numerous Void Magic Squads!

The Mairente Family had originally arranged accommodations for Rocky and his group since Mairente City had not yet been handed over to Rocky, and he was, after all, still a guest here, not someone who would take charge of the City Lord’s affairs.

But Rocky ignored all that and led his people straight to the City Lord’s Mansion.

As had been said, Rocky had brought a significant army to Mairente City this time. Not to mention the accompanying personnel—the forty Void Magic Squads alone added up to four hundred people. So, when their carriages left the Skyport and entered the city, the common folk in the city were stunned.

Over a dozen carriages formed a long line on the street, parading through with grandeur. Five Void Magic Squads opened the way at the front, others followed on both sides for protection, and even Void Magic Warriors hovered above.

Spectacles and formations like these were beyond the expectations of the city dwellers, who, upon seeing them, would immediately retreat to a safe distance, then start whispering and pointing to each other.

As one of the Family’s Sky Cities, the commoners in the city might not have known all the difficulties the Family was facing, but they had heard some whispers. Those who were better informed already knew of Rocky’s arrival, and residents of Sky City—which a few years ago belonged to Rocky but now belonged to the Mairente Family—naturally had an impression of the former City Lord.

However, the image of Rocky in the minds of the residents did not match up with the Rocky of today.

In their minds, Rocky was still the same brat from years ago, and with the passage of time, the details of how Sky City had transferred from Rocky’s hands to the Mairente Family had also become common knowledge.

So when the residents saw the impressive procession of carriages passing before them, especially upon learning that Rocky himself was inside, they were baffled.

And indeed, the residents were right to be baffled, for anyone with a bit of sense could understand that the Sky City they were living in was about to experience a change of power…!
