LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 609: Chapter 571: Is it you? Chapter 609: Chapter 571: Is it you? The scene where Zuluo was dragged away by the guards dumbfounded everyone; no one had expected Rocky to handle the matter in such a way.

So when everyone turned to look at him again, their gaze had changed.

In fact, there was no question of right or wrong in the matter itself. Though Zuluo had made unwelcome advances towards Liliya and Athena, considering his status, at least for him, such behavior was quite normal. Similarly, although it was Liliya who struck someone, since she belonged to Rocky and the incident occurred in Thunderhawk City, it didn’t amount to much.

The crux of the matter wasn’t about who was right or wrong but rather how Rocky would handle it, and his response had certainly taken everyone by surprise.

What shocked people even more was that after Zuluo was seized, Rocky continued to chat and laugh as if nothing had happened.

Such a demeanor brought a new change to the way people looked at him.

In the eyes of onlookers, there was incomprehension.

Many couldn’t understand why Rocky would do such a thing. If Athena were the one who hit someone it would have been different, considering Athena was no ordinary woman. But Liliya was just a guard by his side. Even if their relationship was out of the ordinary, she was just a woman in his entourage. Was it worthwhile to provoke Zuluo, a man with a powerful background, over such a woman?

Is this what a City Lord should do?

In seeing his gaze, there was also schadenfreude. Many thought Rocky was too arrogant, too conceited. Whatever his reason for arresting Zuluo, the outcome was already sealed, and it was one he certainly couldn’t handle!

Did he really believe that Zuluo’s father, the City Lord of Heavenly Ancestor City and the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Ancestor Church, Rick, would let things go?

Absolutely not!

One could tell from Zuluo’s consistently reckless actions how dearly his father loved him; how could he possibly tolerate his son being treated like this in the insignificant Thunderhawk City? So just wait, Rick would definitely not let this pass!

This made many onlookers excited for the drama that was about to unfold, yet among the spectators, some looked at Rocky with admiration.

Among those present were individuals with shrewd insight, and they viewed the matter from a different perspective than everyone else.

To them, why Rocky had captured Zuluo was irrelevant.

The consequences he would have to bear?

Irrelevant as well.

What truly mattered was the attitude Rocky had displayed.

That was indeed worth noting!

Because such an attitude revealed his character, and it was precisely because they recognized this that when Rocky arrested Zuluo, especially as he continued to smile and converse afterward, some at the venue etched his name deeply into a certain list in their minds, no longer regarding him as a mere ordinary City Lord.

Nevertheless, whatever the case, once such a matter had occurred, the atmosphere of the ball changed, and the soirée that ought to have lasted until late into the night ended early, and as soon as all the guests had left, Archimonde immediately sought out Rocky!

Like the vast majority, Archimonde was shocked by Rocky’s action of arresting Zuluo, so much so that he had almost intervened to stop the act, but Archimonde, being cunning and experienced, was very aware that at that moment he had to stand with Rocky. Therefore, he had not said a word on the side. Yet as soon as the dance ended and all the guests had dispersed, he immediately found Rocky.

“Rocky, this matter was too rash.”

When everyone had left, Archimonde did not mince his words with Rocky. As partners in a collaboration, in a way they were grasshoppers tied to the same string. Therefore, Rocky’s provocation against Zuluo, should it lead to conflict in Thunderhawk City, would inevitably delay the manufacture of the armors, and this would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Apple Tree Corporation.

“Your Excellency Archimonde, indeed, I was too inconsiderate.”

However, in response to these almost reproachful words, Rocky’s answer left Archimonde gaping, unable to respond for a long time.

This kind of reply, this attitude, was completely beyond his expectations!

Actually, with Archimonde’s understanding of Rocky, he basically knew why Rocky treated Zuluo the way he did, because Liliya held an extremely important place in his heart.

Initially, when Rocky was just an unknown little soldier, no, one should say when he was nearly deprived of everything by the deceit of the Mairente Family in Sky City, only Liliya stood by his side. This was a connection others simply couldn’t fathom. Zuluo dared to threaten Liliya, which was almost the same as directly provoking Rocky. That was why Rocky did not hesitate to capture him.

Knowing these things, Archimonde had originally thought that faced with his reproach, Rocky’s stance would definitely be very tough, with no room for concession. He didn’t expect Rocky’s reaction to be completely different from what he had imagined. Could Rocky actually be regretting his actions?

But… was he truly regretting it?

Impossible!

With Archimonde’s shrewdness, he naturally could tell whether Rocky was speaking the truth. So he was very clear that Rocky’s remorse was most likely to placate him, and this made him find Rocky all the more formidable!

Rocky’s behavior was just too mature, exemplifying the demeanor of a mature City Lord handling affairs, and seeing such maturity in a man in his twenties, Archimonde could only describe it as terrifying.

In such a circumstance, he could not say much more, because Rocky’s behavior convinced him that Rocky’s decision to capture Zuluo was definitely not a hasty move. To say he need not worry might be an exaggeration, but it certainly was not something he could interfere with, and so he left afterwards.

No sooner had he left than another person arrived—it was Athena.

“Been waiting anxiously?”

When Athena appeared, Rocky just smiled at her, as if he had been expecting her to come to see him.

In fact, this answer wasn’t too hard to guess, given that the matter itself involved Athena, and besides, Athena’s role by Rocky’s side was essentially that of an adviser. Therefore, after Zuluo was captured, it was both reasonable and natural for her to come to see Rocky.

Athena was not surprised that Rocky had anticipated her visit; she simply said outright, “The situation has gone beyond my expectations.”

There was no apology, no other superfluous nonsense. Athena got straight to the point, and upon hearing this, Rocky was slightly taken aback. Are there really matters in this world that could go beyond Athena’s expectations?

“Athena, tell me the truth, did you deliberately orchestrate this?”

After giving Athena a look, Rocky then asked her seriously.

This was the question he most wanted clarity on—whether the incident with Zuluo was deliberately orchestrated by Athena or not!
