Lord of the Sky City

As soon as they arrived at Star of the Sky, Rocky and his companions were inexplicably surrounded, and when Rocky saw clearly who these people were, he recognized a familiar figure among them.

Kilov!

There, circled around them, he saw Kilov!

Upon seeing Kilov, Rocky immediately turned his gaze to the middle-aged man beside him. This man appeared to be in his forties, of average build, and his features were not particularly outstanding, but he carried a ruthless pride that made it clear he was no ordinary person.

Of course, everyone who could come to Star of the Sky was a City Lord, so this middle-aged man with the ruthless pride was surely a City Lord, and specifically, the City Lord of Wild Horse City!

“You are Rocky?”

With Kilov and others slowly walking out from the hall, Karlo approached Rocky. At the same time, Rocky patted Liliya and Monte on the shoulders, signaling for them to step aside and guard him, then he stepped towards Karlo.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Karlo, right?”

Faced with Karlo, Rocky showed no hint of fear, because he didn’t need to be frightened. This wasn’t Wild Horse City; this was Eternal City, Star of the Sky to be exact, reserved only for City Lords. Here, no one dared to make a move, so Rocky had no reason to fear the other party.

“Hahaha!”

However, once he finished speaking, Karlo across from him burst into laughter, laughing heartily for quite a while before suddenly stopping, then glared at him fiercely: “Rocky, you really have guts!”

“No wonder, no wonder you dare to touch my people. I thought you were just bewitched by Karina, but it seems I thought too much.”

“Very good! This is very good!”

While speaking, Karlo took a step forward, coming near Rocky as if to stand together: “Kid, don’t think you can hide in Eternal City forever. It won’t be long before you are driven out, and then… I’ll take good care of you on the outside.”

“Let’s go!”

Having said that, Karlo waved his hand, and the guards who had surrounded Rocky and his companions dispersed in an instant, then they followed Karlo out.

Before turning to leave, however, Kilov standing beside Karlo sneered at Rocky and, with a swift motion, drew his hand across his neck, making a throat-slitting gesture.

Soon after, Karlo and his entourage left, leaving only Rocky and a few others in the hall. No, not just them. Other City Lords who were stunned by the scene also remained. When Karlo had come in a threatening manner to encircle Rocky, there had been other City Lords coming in and out of the hall.

Even though the hall was filled with City Lords, they were all shocked by the confrontation they had just witnessed, as such direct confrontations between City Lords were extremely rare.

So when Karlo left, all eyes naturally turned towards Rocky.

Unconcerned by the gazes focused on him, Rocky glanced at Liliya and Monte, who were looking particularly uncomfortable, then smiled at Aileen, who was clearly still frightened, and went to the counter as if nothing had happened to begin the check-in process.

It wasn’t until he approached the front desk that Liliya and the others shook off their shock and hurriedly followed him, then the group left the hall together.

The hall immediately erupted into a buzz of discussion as Karlo and Rocky left, resembling a bustling marketplace.

“Who were those two just now?”

“Karlo! Wild Horse City’s Karlo, don’t you even recognize him?”

“And the other one?”

“Don’t know…”

“The other one is Rocky.”

“Rocky?”

Hearing this name, many City Lords showed puzzled expressions, evidently not familiar with it.

“You guys, don’t you keep up with current affairs? The Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was annihilated last month, haven’t you heard?”

“Heard of it, yes! But wasn’t that Karina’s doing? That crazy woman really is something, not putting Karlo in her eyes at all…”

“Your information is outdated. According to the latest news from the Shadow Alliance, it wasn’t just Karina who annihilated the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group; she was collaborating with this Rocky, the City Lord of Thunderhawk City.”

“Ah, I see… No wonder! No wonder Karlo went to such lengths to find trouble with him; so that’s what it was all about.”

With this explanation, the many City Lords in the hall suddenly understood, and then they all looked in the direction Rocky had disappeared, showing various expressions.

While the others were busy discussing the recent events, Rocky had already returned to his room.

“Aileen, we’ll act separately tomorrow. You go and buy the rest of the items on the list, and I’ll purchase the equipment.”

“Huh? Oh, okay… okay…”

Aileen’s reaction was delayed after Rocky’s words ended, and then she just nodded blankly. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What’s wrong with you all?”

Seeing that Aileen was clearly off, Rocky looked at the others and noticed that they too seemed uneasy.

But as soon as he finished asking, Monte sprang to his feet!

“Sir! I’m going back to the city to bring Lin Feng and the Guard Corps. If that Karlo wants to start something, we’ll finish him!”

Bursting from his seat, Monte roared immediately. The Beastman, known for his fiery temper, wasn’t used to being suppressed as they had been just a moment ago.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the fact that only he and Liliya were there, and he worried about Rocky’s safety in a fight, Monte’s disposition would have led him to clash head-on with Karlo right there and then!

No sooner had he spoken than Rocky glanced at him: “Sit down.”

Rebuked with a cold glance from Rocky, Monte pursed his lips and begrudgingly sat back down, but he was clearly still seething.
