LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 615: Chapter 577: Heaven’s Ultimatum Chapter 615: Chapter 577: Heaven’s Ultimatum Always expect the unexpected; such was a quality every City Lord must possess, and Rocky certainly demonstrated this quality.

With the signing of the first batch of orders, the first salvo in his collaboration with the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce had been fired, and it was a resounding success. The results not only satisfied both parties but also exceeded their expectations.

However, this did not mean that Rocky could rest easy because the armory was facing a very real problem: the only Armor it could manufacture was the Tank Armor.

Indeed, even though describing the Tank Armor’s approach as pioneering would not be an exaggeration, its performance and technological content might not be the highest. Yet, its design and combat approach had long surpassed that of other Land Combat Armors by miles. Even so, relying solely on this Armor model for Rocky and the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce to establish a foothold in the Armor domain was absolutely impossible. After all, being a specialized piece of equipment for land combat inherently limited its sales volume.

Therefore, Rocky needed to get the Thunderhawk Armor ready as soon as possible. In doing so, he would have two models of Armor to produce—an amount that might still seem insufficient but, at the very least, could alleviate the pressing crisis.

On the other hand, he was now facing even bigger troubles. Zuluo’s matter appeared to be concluded, but in reality, it was far from over. It wouldn’t be long before there were new developments, developments that could far exceed Rocky’s expectations.

As for this matter, his plan was to remain unchanged in response to this myriad of changes, but ‘unchanged’ did not mean sitting idly by and waiting for the situation to worsen. This ‘unchanged’ meant constantly making oneself stronger!

Hence, Rocky naturally became restless. Luckily, receiving a sizable advance allowed him to go all out, so he soon plunged into the research institute, working day and night alongside Hammerfire’s Armor design team to complete the Thunderhawk Armor.

However, his actions ended up delaying some others’ plans…

“How is the job going?”

In a seemingly ordinary household within the district of Thunderhawk City, a person stood before a Magic Energy Image.

Such high-tech items as a Magic Energy Image were naturally not something ordinary people could possess. Moreover, the equipment used here was a compact Magic Energy Projector, each costing at least several hundred thousand gold coins on the market — truly a high-tech product.

Oddly, the Magic Energy Image projected by such an advanced projector was rather blurry, making it impossible to discern any specific features. Clearly, the other party had done this on purpose to avoid revealing their true identity.

Amidst this vague Magic Energy Image, the person in the room was all solemn and respectful, “Lord, Rocky has been in the research institute every single day recently; there has simply been no opportunity to strike… Please give me more time.”

“Hmm…”

Upon hearing this response, the Magic Energy Image gave a somber hmm—one that frightened the man into immediately kneeling before the image!

“Lord, please give me more time. I will definitely get my hands on the core technology that Aniye and the others have developed!”

“I know.”

The blurry image looked down at the figure kneeling before it, then nodded slightly, “I know you’ve tried your best.”

After those words, the image continued, “You don’t need to panic. It won’t be long before you have a perfect opportunity.”

“Lord, are you saying…”

Upon hearing this, the sweating figure lifted his head while still half-kneeling, seemingly a bit confused.

“In no time, Heavenly Ancestor City will dispatch troops to Thunderhawk City. By then, Rocky will be preoccupied with this matter. This will be your best chance. We must seize the technology he possesses before those others take action against him, understood?”

“Yes! Rest assured, my Lord!”

“Hmm…”

With a dispassionate hmm, the already vague Magic Energy Image grew even more so, gradually disappearing until it was gone completely. Only when the image had completely vanished did the person in the room stand up and then let out a sigh of relief as he sat down on the bed.

“Heavenly Ancestor City is coming, huh…”

Sitting on the bed, the person pondered the words spoken by the Magic Energy Image: “If Heavenly Ancestor City comes, it indeed might divert Rocky’s attention. That would certainly be a good opportunity. However…”

“But from the Lord’s words, it seems he intends to act before those others… What is really going on here…”

“Well, no use thinking too much now. In any case, I still need to complete this mission as soon as possible; otherwise, I’m done for.”

After muttering a few words to himself, the man then lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

……….

……….

Time flew swiftly, and a week passed by in the blink of an eye. After working day and night for a week, and thanks also to the expansion of the research team, the entire design of the Thunderhawk Armor was finally completed!

With the designing phase completed, the blueprints were immediately sent to the armory, followed by the manufacture of the first prototype Armor within two days, which was then sent to the testing ground.

Almost at the same time, there was new news from Heavenly Ancestor City!

Rocky received a notice from Heavenly Ancestor City. As the City Lord of Heavenly Ancestor City and the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Ancestor Church, Rick, Zuluo’s father, demanded that Rocky immediately release Zuluo and compensate for his actions. The specific terms of restitution were even laid out. Should Rocky dare to refuse, he, his Thunderhawk City, Carltos City, and even Backhill Village, would inevitably suffer the wrath of heaven!

Upon seeing the ultimatum from Rick, Rocky chuckled. Rick really did have a bit of the Sect Hierarch’s flair—his tone was distinctly different from others. Where others spoke of war straightforwardly, Rick spoke of the ‘wrath of heaven.’ Such phrasing did indeed amuse Rocky.

Of course, what truly caught Rocky’s attention in the ultimatum was not Rick’s phrasing, nor even his demanding attitude regarding his son or the threat of war against Rocky. What captured Rocky’s attention was the compensation demand!

Superficially, Rick’s tone was stern, hinting at a readiness to commence hostilities at the slightest provocation. But actually, since he had stipulated a demand for restitution, it indicated he was not keen on precipitating a war over such a trivial matter.

But was that really the case?

Of course not!

For clearly written in Rick’s terms of compensation was the demand that Rocky hand over the White Demon Armor and all technology associated with the Armor!
