Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 638 - 600 Against All Arguments

Chapter 638: Chapter 600 Against All Arguments Chapter 638: Chapter 600 Against All Arguments As the Vice President of Apple Tree Corporation, Archimonde indeed could be described by his high position and significant power, but even so, there were some matters he couldn’t decide on his own, such as the request that Rocky had just made to him, which was beyond his authority.

Even knowing this, Archimonde still promised Rocky and assured him that he would definitely persuade the Guild President. Why was that?

It was naturally because he’d realized the potential of Mana Runes!

Archimonde might not have been a scholar, but with his shrewdness, he immediately sensed the tremendous potential of Mana Runes. More importantly, he could see not only the role Runes could play in the Armor Domain but also keenly understood that if these Runes were used on warships, they could likewise transform the entire landscape of the warship field! In other words, as soon as Mana Runes came into existence, not just the Armor Domain, but every area related to Mana in this world would undergo massive changes!

In such a scenario, Archimonde decisively decided that his Chamber of Commerce must get on board this train of change and secure the foremost position. To seize the initiative, the Chamber could only stand on the same front as Rocky.

Why?

Because the Apple Tree Corporation had already gotten a late start on this matter.

Sky Alliance, Rick, the Magic Energy Research Institute, and other forces had clearly known about the existence of Mana Runes earlier and had made their moves. Apple Tree Corporation had no place left in this situation; thus, if the Chamber wanted to get a slice of the pie and participate, it could only ally with Rocky.

This approach, of course, required the Chamber to take on tremendous risks, but the risks taken also equated to potentially greater rewards. So much so that if they supported Rocky through his current difficulties, the Chamber could not just solidify its standing in the Armor Domain but even potentially gain an immense advantage in its traditional field of warships.

This was the reason Archimonde dared to make a promise to Rocky without consulting the Guild President first; he absolutely couldn’t let go of this opportunity, and he also believed that he could definitely convince the Guild President.

Therefore, following that, Archimonde hurriedly left the research facility and immediately returned to his residence, where upon arrival, he incessantly got in contact with the Chamber.

“Guild President, I have important matters to report to you.”

Upon reaching the Guild President Pansen, Archimonde didn’t even give Pansen a chance to speak and directly recounted everything.

“Guild President, I have agreed to Rocky’s request.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, the image of Pansen’s Magic Energy visibly paused, then his brows furrowed, “You agreed on your own?”

“Yes, I ask for your understanding… but I believe this matter couldn’t afford our hesitation, given the importance of Mana Runes.”

“Hmm…”

After hearing Archimonde’s words, Pansen fell silent. He wasn’t hesitating, but rather digesting the information because everything that Archimonde had said was so impactful that even a person like Pansen needed time to process it after hearing it.

As a behemoth in the warship domain, the helmsperson of Apple Tree Corporation was naturally no ordinary individual. Despite Pansen being only in his thirties, his ambition was immense. Upon becoming Guild President, he immediately implemented sweeping reforms and tirelessly expanded the business scope. Although there were many setbacks along the way, such as repeated failures to break into the Armor Domain, under his various reform measures, Apple Tree Corporation’s profits have soared year after year, and describing it as thriving wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

This proved not only that Pansen was ambitious but also that his capabilities were exceptional. His most prominent trait was his decisiveness. Whenever the Chamber needed to make significant decisions, Pansen as the Guild President could always make judgments promptly. This attitude was evident in how he dealt with Rocky. After multiple attempts to break into the Armor Domain ended in failure, Pansen did not give up but decisively chose to collaborate with Rocky. If it weren’t for the sudden interference of Rick, the success of this decision would have been proven.

So now, the time had come once again for him to make a decision—should he help Rocky or not?

Although Archimonde had made promises to Rocky, without Pansen’s nod of approval, Archimonde’s guarantees would be worthless, just empty words. So when Pansen remained silent, Archimonde was quite nervous.

However, this time, Pansen, who usually made quick decisions, stayed silent for a long time without reaching a decision.

This hesitation was understandable because not only did Archimonde inform Pansen about the Mana Runes, but he also revealed the existence of the Magic Energy Research Institute. Therefore, Pansen was well aware that if he truly aligned with Rocky, then all the enemies Rocky faced would become the enemies of the Chamber of Commerce, which included not only Heavenly Ancestor City and the Heavenly Ancestor Church but also the Magic Energy Research Institute and even the Sky Alliance with their ambiguous stance.

Faced with such formidable opponents, Pansen couldn’t help but hesitate. Rocky, with nothing to lose, governed only two Sky Cities and a Backhill Village; even total annihilation wouldn’t mean much to him. But how vast was the Apple Tree Corporation? If Rocky failed, Pansen was at risk of losing the entire Chamber of Commerce!

In such a situation, Pansen had to thoroughly consider before making a decision.

As time ticked by, minute by minute, half an hour flew by, and the Magic Energy Image before Archimonde had changed. It initially showed only Pansen, but now a group of people appeared, including several other Vice Presidents of the Chamber of Commerce.

Clearly, during this half-hour, Pansen had convened an emergency meeting, and throughout, Archimonde had repeated everything he had previously discussed with Pansen to the others, and they had engaged in a heated debate.

But to Archimonde’s dismay, during the discussion with the others, the additional Vice Presidents had shown no support for him; in fact, the majority even opposed him.

“Obstinate!”

Faced with the opposition of the other Vice Presidents, Archimonde said angrily and dissatisfied, “Facing such crucial technology, if we do not seize the opportunity now, we will never have another chance!”

“There will always be opportunities. We can completely wait for others to acquire the Mana Runes and then find a way to obtain them ourselves. This way, the Chamber of Commerce undertakes a smaller risk.”

“Short-sighted! Not only does Rocky now control the Mana Runes, but he has also mastered a vast array of Rune Technology! If we give up this opportunity now, even if we obtain the Runes later, we will still fall behind technically!”

Facing the opposition, Archimonde continually strived, eventually having no choice but to look towards Pansen, who had not said a word, “Guild President, shall we…”

But before he could finish his sentence, Pansen, who had been silent since the debate began, waved his hand and finally spoke, “Archimonde, contact Rocky and tell him to prepare the materials list.”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, Archimonde was overjoyed. He nodded emphatically and quickly left his residence. As he left, the Vice Presidents beside Pansen immediately broke into chaos, bombarding Pansen with their opinions all at once, but unfortunately, the Magic Energy Image was interrupted at that moment.
