LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 613: Chapter 575: Wait and See Chapter 613: Chapter 575: Wait and See After confirming the safety of the rune technology with Aniye and others, Rocky returned to the City Lord’s Mansion and spent the entire night thinking about what he should do next.

However, despite racking his brain, he had to admit that Athena and Aniye were right; for now, he could only stay alert, but it was really hard to take any action, as he still had no clue about the whole affair and even doubted whether he was being overly suspicious.

In such a situation, all he could do was to respond to changes with constancy.

Once he had this idea clear, Rocky knew what he needed to do next.

The next day, as if nothing had happened, he continued to entertain clients who came to observe the armor, while he also threw Zuluo into prison.

Rocky opted for the simplest and most brute method possible to deal with Zuluo; he simply ignored him.

Given that he had to wait for the situation to develop anyway, Rocky decided not to concern himself with Zuluo. After all, if someone truly wanted to plot against him, Zuluo was definitely either a pawn or a bait in their scheme. Eventually, something about this matter with Zuluo was bound to change, so Rocky decided to lock him up and observe how things unfolded.

Indeed, the development of events relating to Zuluo was much faster than he had anticipated. The very next day, Zuluo’s steward came to demand his release, which wasn’t surprising, since Zuluo was no minor character and he had quite a number of people following him. Therefore, seeing their master arrested, it was natural for these followers to react.

But Rocky didn’t entertain these people at all and simply drove them out of his territory. Of course, he did this deliberately, for he wanted to see to what extent those who might have been meddling in the shadows would exploit the situation.

However, it was difficult to see results in just a day or two. Transportation wasn’t convenient in the Sky City, and after being expelled from Thunderhawk City, even if Zuluo’s subordinates returned to Heavenly Ancestor City, it would take them roughly ten to fifteen days, and maybe even a month for Heavenly Ancestor City to respond. During this time, Rocky planned to resolve all the matters at hand.

To him, the most important thing right now was to finalize the clients brought by Apple Tree Corporation.

Although the current situation felt like the calm before the storm, life still had to go on, especially for these clients, who were crucial for Rocky and Apple Tree Corporation. These clients were directly related to whether their first batch of orders would be secured following their cooperation. Therefore, even if a major crisis occurred, he had to attend to these people first.

It must be admitted that Zuluo’s arrest did indeed affect the other clients somewhat. The most direct response was that a group of people left the next day. Clearly, these people either disapproved of Rocky’s actions or felt that since Rocky had provoked Heavenly Ancestor City, they did not want to get involved. In any case, they left quickly.

Fortunately, while some people left, others stayed, and those who departed were only a small portion. Most of the clients chose to continue staying in Thunderhawk City, which allowed Rocky and Archimonde to proceed with the original plan.

Another couple of days later, the two brought all the clients to the testing field to reveal the true capability of the Tank Armor Model 2.

The so-called testing field was an area Rocky had specifically demarcated within the city after the establishment of the research team and the commencement of the armory. As research and manufacturing took shape, a large number of new armors would be designed and produced, and naturally, these armors could not always be tested in research institutions or barracks. Therefore, Rocky deliberately sectioned off a large area to be used specifically for testing new armors.

After bringing the clients to the testing field, the upgraded Tank Armor Model 2 was officially revealed.

This time, driving the armor and demonstrating it to the audience was no longer Rocky’s job; Caryus and Raphael were more than capable of showcasing the full capabilities of the new Tank Armor.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Under their skilled operation, the Tank Armor Model 2 immediately captured everyone’s attention upon its debut. The upgraded version indeed had significantly improved in various aspects, whether it was mobility or weapon efficiency, it impressed everyone.

As a result, once the demonstration ended, the faces of the clients immediately showed contentment, clearly indicating that the performance of Tank Armor Model 2 had generated a strong desire to purchase.

Watching the expressions on the clients’ faces, both Archimonde and Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, particularly Archimonde.

The corporation had heavily promoted the Tank Armor Model 2 to attract these clients, but in reality, the Tank Armor Model 2 hadn’t even been completed at that time. Under such circumstances, Archimonde didn’t know what the real capabilities of the Tank Armor Model 2 would be, nor what kind of performance it would deliver, which had kept him quite anxious.

This anxiety had been exacerbated when Rocky arrested Zuluo two days earlier, causing a group of clients to leave prematurely, intensifying Archimonde’s worry that this event might be botched.

But luckily, Rocky had not disappointed the corporation. Although there were a few minor setbacks along the way, the final result ultimately reassured Archimonde. After spending a lifetime in business, he knew just by looking at the client’s eyes that this deal was a success!

Indeed, the development of events matched his expectations; following the demonstration of the Tank Armor Model 2, he quickly began signing orders for the armor model with the clients!

The first to approach Archimonde was a representative from Xingmin City, a large Sky City that controlled a vast forest territory on the land, so they had a large number of troops stationed on the ground, which brought about great impact due to the frequent appearance of demons. The heavy losses suffered by Xingmin City’s ground troops made it imperative for them to have a powerful armor for ground combat to turn the tide, and naturally, the Tank Armor Model 2 became their top choice.

So, the next day after the demonstration, a representative from Xingmin City signed an order with Archimonde, reserving fifty units of Tank Armor Model 2 in one go!

Fifty units!

The Apple Tree Corporation had priced each Tank Armor Model 2 at forty thousand gold coins, so an order for fifty units amounted to an income of two million gold coins!

Rocky had always known that selling armor was profitable, but he had not expected it to be so lucrative; just one order brought in a revenue of two million gold coins. Even after subtracting manufacturing costs and splitting the earnings with Apple Tree Corporation, he still stood to make an income of six to seven hundred thousand gold coins!

And let’s not forget, this was just the income from one order!
